No Honour in Victory
No Honour in Victory is a brutal, unflinching account of the lesser-known atrocities of World War committed by the Japanese Imperial Army. From the human experiments of Unit 731 and the systematic rape of “comfort women” to the forgotten massacres of Nanking, Manila, and the death marches of Sandakan and Bataan, this book rips away sanitised war narratives and exposes the raw, often buried truth.
Painfully researched and written without flinching, No Honour in Victory demands the reader confront the moral grey zones of war, the complicity of silence, and the chilling reality that history doesn’t just repeat itself, it evolves.
Warriors of War
In times of war, heroes emerge in many forms—some celebrated, others lost to history. Warriors of War uncovers the extraordinary, often overlooked figures whose courage, intelligence, and ingenuity shaped the course of World War II.
From Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician who cracked the Enigma code yet was persecuted for his identity, to Nicholas Winton, the quiet London stockbroker who saved hundreds of Jewish children, this book brings to light stories of resilience and sacrifice. It delves into the daring exploits of resistance fighters like Freddie Oversteegen, the teenage assassin luring Nazis to their deaths, and Paul Gruninger, the Swiss police officer who risked his career to smuggle Jewish refugees to safety.
It also honours the unorthodox heroes—engineers and inventors like those behind the Mulberry Harbours and Operation PLUTO, whose innovations ensured Allied victory. Even amidst devastation, figures like Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who miraculously survived both atomic bombings and Molly Lamb Bobak, the first female Canadian war artist, remind us of the enduring human spirit.
Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Warriors of War shed light on the individuals—known and unknown—who defied tyranny and left an indelible mark on history. Their legacy is courage, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
The A-Z of British Serial Killers
The A-Z of UK serial killers started as a strange thought. There couldn't be as many twenty-six serial killers on this small island of the United Kingdom. There were considerably more. Killers I didn't get to talk about, murders such as the Worlds End Killings. When I started to research these killers, it became clear that there was a killer for every letter of the alphabet. So if you are obsessed with true crime, then sit back and let's take a walk through the alphabet and meet twenty-six of the most depraved minds, from Victorian times to the present day.

With this book, the author looks at some of the stranger conspiracies surrounding the legend and reveals who she thinks Jack the Ripper was.
