Para News reviewed by top US conspiracy author

Conspiracy author Kenn Thomas has given Para-News a 5 star rating and a good review on Amazon US.

Kenn Thomas writes:
We simply cannot have enough writers like Richard Thomas. As this book demonstrates, Thomas keeps tabs on the "para" world. His interest in the paranormal is Fortean--not just cataloging all the strange critters that science denies exists but putting them in the context deliberately defiant of that denial. And he understands the link to the parapolitical, that is the conspiracy "theorists", in reality the students of things that do not neatly fit into the standard political paradigm, things like assassinations, cover ups and real conspiracies. He does this through interviews with many of the more interesting personalities putting forth such "theories", including the prolific and formidable Nick Redfern and Richard Dolan, the great documentarian of the national security state. The reader cpmes away with the hope that Thomas produces more volumes of Para News, and that he keeps up with his blog work and newspaper reporting. There's a lot to cover...

"Sceptic at Large" Reviewed on the European Journal

Our book "Sceptic at Large"  by Roger Helmer MEP has been reviewed in the European Journal by Richard Robinson. You can view the July issue of the European Journal on http://www.europeanfoundation.org/

Highlights of the review include:

Roger Helmer is not a sceptic in the normal meaning of the word: “a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions”. He does not doubt. He is as certain that he is right as the targets of his attack: the Brussels bureaucrats, Europhiles and “climate change alarmists”. Neither is he a contrarian, merely seeking controversy. His positions are based on his well-reasoned response to the evidence that he sees. Sceptic at Large is, then, more a personal manifesto.


Helmer threads a narrative through extracts from his speeches and blogs which gives the book the immediacy of responding to events as they unfold. It also gives the book a sense of frustration, almost exasperation, that others cannot see his obvious truth. 

Helmer takes the opportunity to settle some old scores: with his long-standing rival in the EastMidlands, “Bill Turncoat Dunn” who, having been elected a Conservative MEP, defected to the LibDems and with Hans-Gert Pöttering, the former leader of the EPP who moved to expel him from the Group in the European Parliament.

The real Roger Helmer emerges, like the sun from behind a cloud. He is sceptical about the merits of art, literature, poetry or architecture after the early 20th century and gives us paeans to Edward Burne-Jones (“move over Michelangelo’s David … move over Moan Lisa”), to Lutyens, to Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia and to H.E. Marshall’s Our Island Story. Are there clues here to his wider world view? He appears in country attire to support the Fernie Hunt Team Chase and at the East Midlands Food Festival praising the producers of Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese.

Cornelia - NEW NOVEL out now on Kindle

Can First Love ever by True Love?

A thrilling romance set in Roman Britain that takes the young adult reader to the passionate, turbulent and violent heart of Imperial Rome.

Can First Love ever by True Love?

Born into wealth and comfort as the daughter of a wealthy farmer in Roman Britain, Cornelia has everything that a girl could want. But on the passing of her 16th birthday, Cornelia learns that her parents have arranged for her to marry the son of a local landowner. When handsome army officer Marcus appears in her life, Cornelia finds her world turned upside down.

But happiness turns to despair when Marcus and his regiment are posted back to Rome. Determined to follow her new love to find happiness, Cornelia gathers what little money she has and sets out alone for the great Imperial capital of Rome. In the course of her long journey she will meet adventures and dangers in plenty.

But above all she must answer a burning question: Can first love ever be true love? And she finds the answer in a most unexpected place.

The book has been carefully researched to provide an accurate and convincing portrayal of Britain as it was in the mid-2nd century when the Roman Empire was at its most powerful, prosperous and secure.
