An odd title I grant you and why have I written The Sound of your family tree and the bricks which hold onto them.
When talking to Andrew Rumsey the Bishop of Ramsey we explored the families and the communities which were, and are an integral part of England and how from simple necessity they grew together. Some grew into towns, some into cities and some disappeared.
All of them had a church, a place of worship, a place of togetherness and today they should still be a place with a roof to sit under where we can join your community in unity.
How we do this, is where the conversation starts, and it should start with the community and the communities needs.
And we should remember as Andrew and I discussed there is church with a bell from 1490 which has rung out across the countryside for nearly 500 years. Generations of families, generations of bell ringers have heard the bell, for various reasons as way to communicate and within the stones which hold the bell up, the stones which sit on the foundations of the first stones placed into the ground by a member of the community who saw a future where families could grow together.

In this post-apocalyptic, dystopian thriller, Crazy Hawk, set 100 years into the future, author R.J. Stewart makes an explosive debut as a novelist.
He is not new to writing, however. His 22-year Hollywood writing career, punctuated by his work for the ground-breaking television show, Xena: Princess Warrior, includes collaborating with multi-generational talent such as Kevin Costner, James Garner, Charlie Sheen and Pierce Brosnan.
“After two decades writing in Hollywood, I took two decades off,” says Stewart. “But even as the world has changed over time, the qualities and virtues that inspire us, particularly resiliency, have not changed and I think my novel reflects that spirit.
” Crazy Hawk is about a resilient and fierce woman, Deirdre, seeking to save her kidnapped sister while seeking revenge amidst a global landscape in ruin. Deirdre lives for one purpose: to get her sister back.
If she needs to kill the kidnappers, no problem. She’s good at that. Riding her one-eyed Soul Horse, Danny, she relentlessly pursues the kidnappers through an America wrecked by the Great Virus, endless civil war and a collapse of the global order called the Breakdown. She’s forced by circumstances to ally with a nomadic photographer. His gentle decency moves her to the core, but her mission leads her away from the man she’s falling in love with and toward a confrontation with the people who hold her sister. To defeat them, she’ll need the help of the powerful Nations, a league of indigenous tribes. But there’s a problem. The Nations consider Deirdre a deadly enemy.
They've even given her a nickname that signifies their grudging respect for this ferocious adversary: Crazy Hawk. “America at times feels like it is at a breaking point, or at least at a moment where it is divided and tested,” notes Stewart. “I address those fears and passions when drawing the world in this book. The future is not yet determined, but for some, it can seem a dark, violent place.”

Toby Brookes' novel "All That She Brings" follows the story of Matthew Banks, a young insurance executive in Hartford who suddenly finds himself a widow after losing his wife in a fiery crash.
Soon after, her infidelity is uncovered and he becomes dangerously tormented, acting out in ways alarming to both his neighbours and employer.
His company arranges sessions with their internal therapist, and while engaged in deeply provocative counselling, more trouble arises at home in Pasadena.
He flees west to attend to his mother's affairs and the family estate, only to find his estranged father, who has appeared after fifteen years, demanding a piece of the estate.
A shocking call comes from the company therapist, threatening to push him over the edge. A homeless prophet living on the beach, where he often escapes to surf, offers him hope.
This, and a renewed love for ceramics, help him rebuild a life he never asked for nor imagined; but one he might be able to roll with.
For readers who enjoy realist fiction in the style of Philip Roth or John Cheever, this fast-moving drama layered with multiple plot lines is reminiscent of a Wes Anderson screenplay.
It's guaranteed to quickly draw you in hold your attention to the end.
