A lovely story, that holds happiness and sadness alike. Maggie was led on a journey that took us, the reader, on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I will certainly read more of Mark’s books. The story was well put together leading to an ending I didn’t foresee.

loved the theme of the fair family By zena on 31 Jan. 2017
​
A thoroughly enjoyable read. I loved the theme of the fair family. Characters were identifiable and individual. spanning a life time of good and bad periods in a young girls life with a twist in the tail I really wasn’t expecting. (I love it when I think I know how its going to end and it catches me out !) would definitely recommend as I enjoyed the unusual setting and look forward to my next Mark D Radford read….which one shall I try next I wonder!!!

A Wonderful Read! By Amazon Customer on 17 September 2017
​
MAGGIE is a touching novel, both sad and sweet, of a young girl’s growth into adulthood. The story is told with much understanding of Maggie’s relationship with her alcoholic, depressed mother. With the help of relatives, Maggie overcomes her childhood of abuse to become a confident, caring, and determined young woman. I felt I was right there with her, experiencing her many joys and sorrows. Realistic characters and real-world situations added to my enjoyment. MAGGIE is not to be missed!

I love a story that draws you in and one that you can’t put down because you need to know where the next page takes the story. I was gripped for sure and in a strange kind of way, felt the feelings that Maggie would have been feeling behind the challenges that she had to face. She never let her guard down and the strength and determination was her reward, a lesson for all of us. This book doesn’t only come with terrific storyline, it grabs your attention emotionally and so do the characters. This is a different way of presentation and the way that the story is written compared to what I am used to. I do feel comfortable with this and had gone through a couple of books by this author. Behind everyone is a strong message that makes you take a step back and think. Not enough stars for this book. I did attempt to put this on Amazon, but for no reasons provided, they decided not to show the world. The world needs to know about this book, this author and there should be no hiding places. I sent this directly to the website and was hoping that you had the chance to see this…now get this book, It comes highly recommended.

Brian – Brighton – Took a awhile but got there in the end.
I owe the author an apology, purchased this book a few years ago and it went on the shelf and others titles pushed their way ahead. I did eventually get to this and had a different feel to most books that I have read. It maybe the style, it maybe the topic or the adventure…it is hard to put my finger on it. The style is different to most books and will not be a best seller. However. it was a style that I liked because it made it comfortable reading. When you get to my age, you need things simplified. I enjoyed the adventure, it made me think back to my cruise which I am unable to do anymore. It wasn’t quite how the story unfolded here, thankfully. I write in here as my son got me this book after I requested it. It appeared on one of the books sites that I go on. I have no amazon account as I don’t do internet money, but found the website of this author at the back of the book. It felt wrong not to leave a review as this was one of the first books that this author has published and now currently reading and enjoying Maggie. Credit where it is due, this books was vert enjoyable, larger print and no complicated words…a perfect cocktail for a reader like me – well done.

I see people rate books so will go for the tops stars on this.
Great book and very clever to put so much into one story. It has a bit of everything in love, romantic parts that get close to the mark. You have fight scenes and I was almost seeing it right in front of my eyes, it was so well illustrated. The thing that made me write this on the website (I never usually do reviews) was that the author added problems that people face on a day to day basis. The problems that people suffer when they wake up every morning and the battle that they have to face ahead of them. The way this story presents itself makes you think what they go through everyday. Good valid points brings it home. How somebody can write and make the reader feel sorry for the baddie is beyond me, but this is what happened here. Great twists, I may read more books from this author if they’re anything like this. As I say , don’t normally do reviews, but this one deserved it.

A story that truly warms the heart and fills up the soul by Ayee B.
​
The story is about a man whose life was ultimately changed by something that was passed on to him when he was still in his teens. In this book, I was taken for a journey as this young man navigated his world having this little secret with him by his side. The story was told in a way that it made me feel like I knew the character intimately. I found myself immersed in his home life where he dealt with challenges and how he has triumphed over them. I also enjoyed witnessing the character’s every milestone and I couldn’t help but cheer him on every time. All of the characters were painted in very real-life setting which made them feel relatable. And because of it, I felt like I was a part of their family and that every moment they had – whether happy or not, I was also there experiencing these moments with them.
I cannot share too much about the story as I’d rather you read the book to find out. But in all of this, you will feel the great love the character has for his family, and also how he applied the greatest lesson that was taught to him when he was younger – and how this shaped him as the man he came to be. It’s a story about faith, transformation and trust.
It’s a perfect book to keep you company at anytime. It surely has kept me entertained and emotionally moved at the same time. After reading it, my heart was filled warmth. Also, it filled me up with a little poignancy and a sprinkle of hopefulness. It is definitely highly recommended.

Sherimyn rated it – It was amazing
​
Touched definitely lived up to its name as the novel really did touch my heart in so many ways. The story is about a man whose life was ultimately transformed because of a special gift that was passed on to him by his grandfather when he was still a teenager. I witnessed how Jake navigated his life carrying this secret with him as he grew up to be an adult. I found the story very engaging as it was written in a way that made me feel like the character was someone I knew intimately. The legacy that Jake’s grandfather left behind reflected in every decision he made in his life, and how he was able to confidently overcome every challenge and celebrate the milestones he reached. It was like he could feel his grandpa’s wise and loving guidance through this special gift.
In all of this, I feel the story is truly about Jake’s immense love for his family – how every decision he made was always for their benefit. I also recognized that the valuable learning instilled in him when he was a boy he was able to put to good use as he grew up – and it has molded him to be the person that he has become. The soul of the story centers on transformation, faith and trust.
After reading this book, my heart was brimming with warmth. It has entertained me and emotionally moved me as well. I’m sure many will love this book as the story is heartwarming and it can really fill up the heart. It is definitely a story that is worth your while.

Nicky – Liverpool – Wow – Super imagination
I picked up this book at a boot sale, fancied something else to read, something new. As soon as I opened this up, I was hooked, I could not put this book down. So pleased that this website was advertised in this book so I can put my thoughts on this forward. Amazon kept suggesting that I knew the author so refused my review. I really do not.
Not to be outdone, I contacted the author directly through here via the contact option. Everybody should read this book, it states ‘short story’, not so sure. I have read a few short stories and this is very generous to be quoted as one. I have read shorter novels out there, and after reading other reviews, I guess this is how this author works. Nice to get somebody not cheating their readers with books that can be completely in one hour.
Going back to the book, it has many wow factors, the imagination and strength of the book makes you feel that you’re at the location yourself. Some offices that I have been too could end up in a horror book, but this was something else. The fact that some facts were combined to this unique and wonderful imagination sold me this. I will be reading more from this author. No dramas about writing pattern or style, tells it how it is so even readers not so up with the English language like myself, made it easier to read.
Would love to see a sequel, would love to see this as a movie (I think it really is that good) Mr author, you now have a new follower on Twitter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Because true love waits by Sherimyn B Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2021
This is a story of young star-crossed lovers who were forced to separate by a domineering family member, thinking it was for their best interest. What experience and time have proven for the both of them was the saying that ‘true love waits’. When love is true, the number of years would not change anything for each one of them. When love is true, no other person can ever make them feel the way they did before. It was like they were waiting for that special feeling they had once…and until they find that feeling, they knew within their hearts they would never feel complete. Wonderfully, they did find it…with each other, after so many years…and their feelings for each other never left them.
This is also a story of a father who has failed to see that the decisions he made caused a lot of hurt feelings in the family. He had an eventual remarkable breakthrough that only showed that true love is not just for the romantic hearts, but also for the hearts of everyone in the family who is willing to let go of their pride and start listening to their loved ones openly with humility, acceptance and understanding.
This book will make you hope that they will one day find each other. You will root for Alessandra as she learns growth in her own way and fights for what she wants. You will feel moved when her father eventually saw the situation he created with utmost clarity…but most of all, your heart will be filled with warmth when you finally get to witness Jason and Alessandra’s happy ending. It’s a feel-good book and if you believe in true love, this book is absolutely perfect for you.
Sherimyn rated ***** – Goodreads
It was amazing
The story is about two young lovers whose love was challenged by separation, time and absence; but as true love goes, everything was worth the wait. Two teens were forced to break up as the girl’s father has decided the relationship was not for her best interest. Being apart though has changed nothing for the both of them as they moved forward in their lives. Through the years, deep inside they were feeling that something was missing and they knew there was only one person who could fill up their heart completely. Many years have passed but the feelings stayed on as strong as it was just like yesterday. And wonderfully, their waiting was not in vain.
The story also touches on the eventual breakthrough of a father whose decisions have caused a lot of hurt feelings within his home. This is one of the most tender moments of the story, because it shows that true love is not limited to romantic love…it encompasses all kinds of love.
As you read this book, you will find yourself rooting and hoping that one day they will find each other. You will root for Alessandra as she starts to learn to take steps towards her personal liberation and claiming her freedom. Your heart will melt when her father made a complete turnaround and was regretful of his past decisions. Most of all, warmth will fill up your heart as you witness the two lovers’ happy-ever-after. It’s a feel-good story that will make you believe in true love. And if you’re a romantic at heart, you will definitely enjoy this book.

They both are steadfast and loyal in their own ways, and take the reader on a journey never to be forgotten. Every character is memorable, and as for Ezio, the bully of a father, he is someone whose path I hope never to cross! Will these young lovers find each other again? You’ll find out in MISSING LOVE.

Very different feel to this book, you read the cover, you read disaster. Yes, it was an awful time and so many affected during the floods and the aftermath it caused. This story reaches out showing the different perspective about the whole sorry time. The press and writers are out their concertation on the homes destroyed, the loss of life. It shows every negative, but this story focus on how people come together and the good that people do in such situations If only others would focus on the work that people try and do instead of focusing on those who have lost so much – Great story and different to what i was expecting.

Wow a story that has it all – if you want an unusual read, then this is for you. What can I say, a mixture of street gangs, bullies, spirits and not the kind you drink and a junk yard. How anybody could have the imagination to put all this together is beyond me…but this author did. If you’re after something very different, this is for you…wins over those that you can predict the outcome when you’re halfway through it. What better place to have a spirit hanging around than a Junk Yard, loved it.

Great story, great plot and takes me back when I when to collage here in the U.S. So many want to be street people and protect themselves by bringing others down. This is not a street theme, but about coming face to face with the one who gave you the nightmares back in the day. Do you stick or twist? Do you ignore it? Or do you look at yourself, grown up now and bigger built -so do you then go back to give them the taster they gave you years ago. It is all about revenge and loved the story – gripped as it is my kind of book.

A good old war story with a mixture of how people suffered and how some came out of it with a whole new life ahead of them. Ernie is gripping and worth staying with. There was a moment that I was going to go back to it as it seemed a little drawn out. How wrong was I, staying with it was the best way to read this. The drawn out part came together piercing the whole story together and what an emotional rollercoaster this story is. If you ever read a book knowing that you will go back to it again one day, then you know the book was good. I know that I have that in Ernie.

Great collection of books, when you get these, there is always a favourite. Loved the imagination behind ‘The Lift’, I can see why this got so many good reviews.
Storm Front, well this one is not so much about the disaster, but the heroes. Had me looking back to the stories that were told during this time – awful
Never forget – Loved this and this was my favourite, could really see this happening and bet there are people who get that old familiar voice in the background who gave them nightmares in the past. Loved it and good plot.
Chill – Something very different, struggled as I am not into the street gang theme and ghosts. I stuck it out and in the end, I am pleased that I did. A great answer to antisocial behaviour. Good story in the end.
A nice collection, good idea placing the short stories into one cover, I would argue that some of these are not what some authors would call short stories, they are longer that that. This means you get your pages worth for the pennies you spend on this one. This makes it a winner for me – Go buy it!!

I love a short story, a quick read and then onto the next. This didn’t look much when I received it. I felt cheated as the book looked thin and not a great deal to it. I thought that I would give it a go, the font is small but comfortable, this on its own makes the book longer than it looks. All is good at this point, no longer felt cheated…thank you Author person. This is a long short story if that makes sense and told myself off as I am normally the first to say that you can’t judge a book by the cover. This is exactly one of those, a good read and right up my street as I love a who dunnit. It was obvious to me who did it at the end, does that count? I guess it normally is though. A good story about bird watchers, good call and an ideal place to plot a mystery murder, out in the middle of nowhere. Thought at one point who it was, but then these authors tend to make you believe the obvious and then trick you. Not to be outdone this time, I decided to change my mind three times, but pleased that I got one of them right. A good book, great imagination behind it and I now know what to look for when I go into the woods and stay away.

This story will take the reader on an adventure in the woods for a bird watching expedition. In the beginning, you would be introduced to a number of interesting characters. Each character has their own distinct personality which sublimely added depth and dimension to the story line. It would not be surprising if you would find yourself compelled to one of the characters as you read on. As the story unfolds, their camaraderie and interaction among them would keep you on your toes as they got into the deeper side of the woods. Then when the new character is introduced, you would know that the plot is about to thicken, especially when he straight away riled the others up. And that, my friends, is where the heart of the mystery would begin. The second part of the story is where the investigation would kick off. This is where you have to keep your senses open and alert to find out the answer to the question hanging over everyone’s head: “Whodunit?” If each one of them carried a grudge over this one person, who could have been brave enough to cross the line? For a short story, this is essentially packed with adventure, intrigue, and mystery. It is definitely an interesting read. Also, who doesn’t want a twist in the end? When you get to that part…you could be grinning and saying, “I thought so.” or you could say, “It’s that person!?! Who’d have known?!?!” All in all, it’s definitely worth your time.

You always want to believe that the innocent shall triumph in the end. It is the ideal setting in an ideal world. However, it would not always be like that. This story reflects some other people’s lives who have been let down by the legal system, and how sometimes the tainted ones can get away with their evildoings. But as the story progresses, you will soon feel encouraged because there is a light at the end of the tunnel after all. It tells us that sometimes, even the most discouraging moments, you will find a silver lining. Hats off to the author, Mark D Radford, for cooking up stories that most people can relate to. Double thumbs up!

There is a saying that goes, “Justice delayed is justice denied”, and this is a perfect example of this. An innocent life of one person can suffer, and ultimately be sacrificed because of the delay of someone else coming forward. It is a story that will make you feel like you want to right the wrongs, and feel vindicated in the end. Kudos to the author, Mark D Radford, for creating different kinds of stories that would keep the readers on their toes. Mark D Radford's writing talent has, once again, shined through in this short story.
