THE DASHWOOD PAPERS
Janice Rossen
A cache of wickedly funny and searingly personal love letters have turned up in a Mayfair flat. Who will profit from them? Miranda, with American enthusiasm, suggests that the uneasy celebrity novelist and his literary agent go over together to meet the new owner. Of course, she will accompany them…plunging her into unforeseen adventures and an unexpectedly surprising paper-chase.

"My knowledge of our relative having survived the concentration camps to eventually patent a life-saving medical device clearly represented a story that needed to be told.
"Utilizing my actual clinical experiences of over three decades in medicine in such a unique storyline was enjoyable to do while always introducing the reader to the excitement of clinical intrigue.
"My own crusade against the excesses in health care as a former chair of medicine has been a deeply personal one after having witnessed not only the best that medicine has to offer but indeed, also the very worst. The imaginary construct, “The Medical Industrial Complex” coined by Relman in a NEJM article in the early '80s, seemed an apt contemporary comparison to President Eisenhower’s “Military Industrial Complex” clarion call to be on guard against the burgeoning strength of the military or any monumental enterprise."

More about My Favourite Cloud from author Gordon Campbell
"Strange though it may seem, the first inkling I had for a title of a novel was from a taxi driver years ago. I don’t recall the gist of the conversation, but he said something about his favourite cloud. I never forgot the phrase, so after numerous other titles and storylines were in competition for my first novel, My Favourite Cloud won! It was as simple as that and the creative seeds began to germinate and grow.
"My heroine is a typical journo: smart, creative, often blunt, but always honest, traits I have seen in people throughout my career as a newspaper writer and senior sub-editor."

"As an American scholar who has always had a passion for English literature, I have loved writing books about 20th-century authors (Barbara Pym, Philip Larkin, Philip Toynbee)—you never know what you will find! Delving into library archives, being handed letters over tea, chatting with other writers and also with librarians—all of these adventures over many years have been enthralling to me.
"I wrote the first draft of this novel over 30 years ago, and have endlessly revised it ever since. Somehow, it eventually seemed to come right. Letters, journals, poetry and novels are all very personal, and I find it fascinating to trace where they have come from, who reads them, and where they go. If a day spent in the library can finish with a convivial dinner, then that is the ideal. Shakespeare always ended his comedies with a wonderful celebration!"

Wings ePress Bestseller for May 2023
"Bucky Lew burst through pro basketball’s color barrier almost 50 years before the existence of the NBA. And playing the game was just a start. He wanted to dominate in every single role—from player to coach to manager to owner.
"His dream looked to be deferred when Harry Hough, the league’s top scorer, refused to play against a Black man in a matchup the press billed as a preview of the championship.
"The stakes were high—it was a fight for the future of the season, the future of the game, and maybe even the future of sports."
