A great donation of books to the barganews libary this week – more than 300 top quality books from the private collection of the author Adam J. Shardlow.
The barganews library has been renovated and put into tip top condition by the sterling work of the librarian, Liz Taylor …. who unfortunately has now jumped ship and is living in the South of France …… putting all these new books in to the system is going to take some time, so unless Liz decides that the Provence is not for her after all, it maybe some time before the databases in the library are updated but patience is a virtue. There are some great books in Adams collection – thank you that man.
Adam J. Shardlow is a freelance journalist and author of dark fiction. He also writes for the BBC comedy quiz Call My Bluff. His first novel, The Missing, was recently published and he is now working on new material. His blog, A walk in the dark woods, is a diary of an Edinburgh-based writer’s life and he says the city’s rain is a great inspiration.
His latest book is, A Lady Thrillington Adventure: The Case of the Cursed Star
Lady Jessica Thrillington was a locksport, before that infernal affair with the Golem Master and the death of her father. Shunned by society, considered a disgrace by her peers and under careful watch by the police, she feels her life is over before it has begun.
When the Al-Ikhwan Diamond, the largest in the known world, goes missing from the Tower of London, Detective Sergeant Carter of the Yard, knows of only one person who can assist him in discovering those responsible; but Thrillington has her own problems when she discovers the very same jewel inside the mystery that is Thrillington Hall. An adventure of clockwork, locks and mechanical monsters. – buy the ebook here

These books are now being put back into the public domain by the creation of the permanent library.
Many thanks to Adam. The area’s readers of books in English will be very pleased indeed at this news.
