Being touched by the icy finger of death ........... eck!


ice finger of death !


Frozen Planet Brinicle ice finger of death filmed in Antarctic





Wow have you seen this?  I mean it !
This is fantastic filming


With timelapse cameras, specialists recorded salt water being excluded from the sea ice and sinking.


The temperature of this sinking brine, which was well below 0C, caused the water to freeze in an icy sheath around it.

Where the so-called "brinicle" met the sea bed, a web of ice formed that froze everything it touched, including sea urchins and starfish.

The unusual phenomenon was filmed for the first time by cameramen Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson for the BBC One series Frozen Planet.

If you would like to see more on the Antarctic see the books we have linked to Sir David Attenborough and the decendants of Antarctic explorers such as Scott, Wilson, Shakelton and Skelton

A self help guide by Amy Mah (Vampire) for teenage vampire girls, the guide is fully illustrated by manga Artist Heby and is written in an easy to follow A - Z format explaining everything a teenage vampire girl would need to know about living life as a modern Vampire. What is fashionable to wear when eating out? Fang maintenance & how to keep your claws sharp. Should you let a boy bite you on the first date? Easy to understand clear advice is given to every day problems Example: When you get an urge to bite: We all get those normal urges to bite things, and I must point out it is very normal, Claws are all well and good in a fight but a bite gives the extra advantage of getting a refreshing drink at the same time. Lots of girls worry about showing their Fangs in public believing that to show your fangs is rude, but don't be shy they can be a girls greatest asset (ok second greatest asset) if a boy is being rude to you, don't just snarl at him, just bite him! You are a vampire why do you think you have sharp teeth if not for sinking them into a boy that is being rude to you.



Today's world is difficult for everyone, especially teenagers. They face the stresses of school, deciding whom to date, and the biggie of sex, just to name a few. Imagine all of those things ten times worse, and you might get an idea of what it's like being a living, breathing teenage vampire. At last, the world can read about the life of a girl with good teeth, her problems with strong sunlight that gave her spots, and the sunblock that made her hair go yucky and produced more spots. Yes, sunlight was dangerous, as she could be the first teenager in history to die from terminal acne! In her everyday life, older vampires expected her to walk about at night in the traditional female uniform, a see-through, 18th-century nightdress, without undies! Well, this female vampire knew why the cold winds blowing along the corridors were called, "male winds," so she wore her see-through nightdress over jeans and a very thick jumper. To be sure that people would still know she was a vampire, the jumper had a very large, pink bat on it. And as to guys, well, it was normal for a girl to dream about guys; she just wished the dreams could have involved chocolates and holding hands, not leaping out at someone, ripping off his shirt, and demanding to know what blood type he was (at least not on the first date).

the Unfading Heiress (Soul Switch Trilogy) Walter Dinjos




"In a land where death transcends time and space, a Ghostly War is being raged 
against the living.  King Eldorman has the power to end this war, but he wants 
justice for his beautiful murdered daughter Arengel.

However, Arengel's destiny lies once again with the living, when she falls in 
love with Adel, a lowly Earmburgian.  Finally the prophecy of The Man With The 
Red Aureole will come to pass, but Arengel needs an earthly body to fulfill it.

The journey that Adel must take to help Arengel will not only test his strengths 
to the limit but also that of his close friendship with Jeofren, a fellow 
Earmburgian.  It is a race against time through dark and magical landscapes, and 
even when the task seems fruitless, Adel must see it through to the end.

The Unfading Heiress is ultimately a story of ghostly love, human greed, 
friendship and honour set amid a raging war between the realm of the living and 
the realm of the dead."

Brotherhood of Shades



Todays New book
Brotherhood of Shades





From the chaos of Dissolution rises a secret order, a Brotherhood formed to protect the world of the living from the world of the dead.
 Adam, a teenage boy living on the streets of London, knows nothing of the fantastic and precarious world that exists just beyond his reality – until he dies, cold and alone, aged 14. After years of rejection, Adam discovers he is important, and the Brotherhood needs him. His recruitment to their Order will take him on an adventure that spans the worlds of both the living and the dead, as he and a living girl (14-year-old Edie Freedom) battle to solve a prophetic riddle and save the world.

The author
Dawn Finch grew up in a book filled house on the river's edge of a tough London-overspill council estate. When she was ten her dad gave her a collection of Edgar Allan Poe stories and this launched a lifetime fascination with the macabre and the unexplained. At the age of eleven a fierce librarian refused to lend her a copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula on the grounds that she was too young to read it. She vowed that if she was ever a librarian she would never deny a child a great book. At twelve Dawn told her careers advisor that she wanted to be either a writer or a librarian, and she was dismayed to be told to stop 'pointless dreaming'. After many years of study and hard work, and a range of jobs – from reading unsolicited slush-pile manuscripts, to dressing as a Benedictine monk to take children on cathedral tours – Dawn carved out a successful career as a Children's Librarian and Reader Development Consultant. With the publication of her first book, Brotherhood of Shades, she is thrilled to be able to add Writer to her CV as well.

She knows with absolute certainty that the only time dreams become pointless is when you stop working hard to achieve them.
