I was born on the 1st of June 1985 and on the 6th of November 2013 I was ready to die.For ten long years I fought against the illness tormenting my mind, and against the judgement I faced. Never shying away from seeking help from professionals, I was set on numerous courses of medication and counselling, none of which proved successful. Finally I grew tired and lost the will to prevail.Doctors would save my life on that day in November but it was the series of events which followed that would help me rediscover the value of connection, kindness and hope in humanity.My name is Robert Johnson, 28 years old at the time of this writing and I have a mental illness. This is my story, my legacy, My Other Self.

From Disney star to blockbuster actor, fashion influencer, singer, and activist, Zendaya is making waves in Hollywood.

“It’s not every day that you see some old granny crushed to death under a baby grand piano, and I’m truly grateful for that. I really am. But the even bigger shock was that this woman – a complete stranger – would be coming back to haunt me in the days to come. Not in a spooky, walking-through-walls kind of way but something a lot more real and far more dangerous.”When sacked bank manager turned bank robber Max Dempsey (aka Simon Golightly) finds himself deep in debt to dodgy undertaker Danny Bishop, he’s prepared to do almost anything to pay it off and keep all of his fingers.But he’s likely to lose a lot more than his fingers when he agrees to do a “little job” for Danny and unintentionally crosses psychopathic Greek gangster, Nikos Spiropoulos.Meanwhile, Bernard Pemberton and his granddaughter Tess are on a road trip to scatter their beloved Dottie’s ashes on a Scottish hilltop, but is it really her ashes in the cremation urn or something else altogether?Cremains is a crime caper that twists and turns its way towards a conclusion that even Max himself couldn’t have predicted.

“Fabulously funny - a real must for lovers of all things Greek.” After living in Greece for thirteen years, writer and reluctant olive farmer Rob Johnson has got used to most of the things that he and his partner Penny found so bizarre at the beginning. Most, but not all. A Kilo of String is the story-so-far of this not-particularly-plucky couple’s often bewildering experiences among the descendants of Sophocles, Plato and Nana Mouskouri with occasional digressions into total irrelevances. This is a book which is almost guaranteed not to change your life, but what it will do is answer many of the fundamental questions about life in Greece, such as: How do you avoid ordering a double tomato for your pine marten when booking a hotel room? Should olive harvesting be registered with the Dangerous Sports Association? Why are chicken livers useful (other than to the chickens themselves)? Oh yes, and there are some serious bits too about how life in Greece has changed since the beginning of the economic crisis. “A brilliant book, very funny and a great insight into Greece and its people.” “Left me laughing so hard I would have spat out my dentures, if I wore them.” A Kilo of String is loosely based on Rob Johnson’s podcast series of the same name, which is free to listen to and download at https://rob-johnson.org.uk/podcasts/a-kilo-of-string/.
