Fizzy Days and Plastic Monkeys: From Crewe to Malibu by Mark Millicent

 Fizzy Days and Plastic Monkeys: 

From Crewe to Malibu 

by Mark Millicent 

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to try and make a movie and see your work on the big screen Fizzy Days and Plastic Monkeys–from Crewe to Malibu is for you. Illustrator Mark Millicent has worked for production studios large and small from Disney to Warner Brothers to RSA and ABC. 

Throughout, he has nurtured a long-held dream to make a film and see it on the big screen. He charts a rollercoaster ride of dizzy heights and stomach-lurching lows in his journey from fitting tyres in small-town Crewe in the UK to chasing his dreams in big-town Hollywood in the USA.

This is the story of living a dream by means of an obstacle course; about one man from a small island in the ocean who dives into a pond with big fish and sees a kaleidoscope of endless opportunity; using his own brand of tongue in cheek humour to bask in what it truly means to become embedded in the business of making a small independent movie in the glamorous land of movie-making between the UK and USA.

Mark Millicent’s work has been recognised by several awards for both his illustrations and short films.

Money Men: The inspiration for Netflix’s Skandal! A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight for the Truth by Dan McCrum

 

Money Men: The inspiration for Netflix’s Skandal! A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight for the Truth by Dan McCrum 

Now adapted as the Netflix documentary Skandal!, this is the stranger-than-fiction story of Wirecard, once a $30 billion tech darling, now a smouldering wreck, by the journalist who brought it crashing down - perfect for those who loved Bad Blood and Empire of Pain.

When journalist Dan McCrum followed a tip to investigate the hot new tech company challenging Silicon Valley, everything about Wirecard looked a little too good to be true: offices were sprouting up around the world, it was reporting runaway growth and the CEO even wore a black turtleneck in tribute to Steve Jobs. In the space of a few short years, the company had come from nowhere to overtake industry giants like Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank on the stock market.

As McCrum dug deeper, he encountered a story stranger and more dangerous than he ever imagined: a world of short sellers and whistleblowers, pornographers and private militias, hackers and spies. Before long he realised that he wasn't the only one in pursuit. Shadowy figures were following him through the streets of London, high-flying lawyers were sending ominous letters to his boss, and he was named as the prime suspect in a criminal inquiry. The race was on to prove his suspicions and clear his name.

Money Men is the astonishing true story of Wirecard's multi-billion-dollar fraud, Europe's biggest new tech darling revealed as a house of cards.

Uncovering fake bank accounts, fake offices and possibly even a fake death, McCrum offers a searing exposé that will finally lay bare the truth.

Craptic Birthdays: A book of dodgy, not-quite-cryptic brainteasers by Pippa Taylor

 Craptic Birthdays: 

A book of dodgy, not-quite-cryptic brainteasers 

Pippa Taylor 

A collection of annoyingly addictive, dubiously tenuous but undeniably crap brainteasers that’ll keep you busy on many a loo trip – or wherever you so choose to give the old braincells a gentle tickle.

Just join the dodgy word clues together, say them out loud and a celebrity name will appear. It'll be so bizarrely satisfying you'll carry on and before you know it, you'll be lost in the Craptic hole (and what a place to be lost in)

So when you have absolutely nothing better to do, pick this up, lower your expectations and enter the weird and wonderful world of...

Craptic Birthdays

“Craptics is a very silly, childish game that you can’t help but play. The bizarre feeling of joy when you guess one correctly is ridiculous!" Chris Moyles

“It pains me to admit that I actually quite enjoy doing these, and I’m not just saying that because I’m engaged to the author” Toby Tarrant

“When we first started playing Craptic Birthdays on the radio, I thought Pippa had lost her mind. Fast forward a few years and now I think it’s the most fun a person can have without breaking the law or removing their clothes. I bloody love it!”

Dominic Byrne

“Even crapper than I was expecting"

 Shameful Riddles 

by A E Lowe 

Another night of partying ends with a bad morning hangover, and twenty-one-year-old Veronica's day is made even worse when she learns she must support her parents with their financial difficulties. When she arrives at work, a chance encounter with one of the hotel's guests ends up being the day's final nail in her coffin. 

Mr. Henderson, the man she meets in room number 109, comes across as intimidating, domineering, and utterly alluring. While their meeting ends tragically for her, for him it results in a future development that Mr. Henderson himself never expected.

When their paths cross again, Veronica’s mind is filled with a plethora of raw emotions about this oddly handsome man, however Mr. Henderson's is riddled with tonnes of sinful punishments that he likes to execute to show his power. 

The explosive collision of these two diverse worlds proves fiery and results in something neither of them could have ever expected. It results in the creation of...... Shameful Riddles.
