Leading artists from across the world come together for
African Painted Dog conservation
Launching on Tuesday 15 September, a Global Art Fundraiser ‘LYCAON – Artists for Painted Dogs’ features over 30 international artists and photographers, who have come together to raise awareness and funds globally, for the endangered African Painted Dog (also known as Painted Wolves or African Wild Dogs). Artwork is available to preview from 29 September and go on sale at 12 noon (BST) on 6 October.
A century ago, approximately 500,000 Painted Dogs roamed the African continent. Less than 6,600 including around 700 breeding pairs, remain in the wild today, as a result of ongoing habitat fragmentation, snare poaching, road kills and diseases caught from domestic dogs.
Artists are donating 50% or more of the proceeds from the sale of their artwork to Painted Dog Conservation in Zimbabwe and Wildlife ACT in South Africa.
“Art is such a powerful tool to spread awareness and wonderment at the natural world. Touching people both visually and emotionally, it is something which when embraced, can be incredibly transforming. I hope with this exhibition, we will shine a light on the enigmatic but endangered Painted Dog and build a strong pack mentality with our contributing artists to continue working for the plight of all species threatened today”. Heather Irvine, Artist and Curator, Artists for Painted Dogs
African Painted Dogs, with their iconic Mickey Mouse ears, are one of Africa’s most enigmatic yet threatened predators. They are neither dog nor wolf but a canid in a separate genus called Lycaon – a very distant cousin to our domestic dogs.
“The Painted Wolf Foundation is proud to support innovative initiatives that seek to raise awareness of this highly endangered species and much needed funds for crucial operations in the field. This is especially critical during these times of COVID-19 where many traditional revenue streams have dried up. Heather Irvine has brought together a group of highly talented and renowned wildlife artists who are offering some of their best work for Artists for Painted Dogs and providing art connoisseurs with the opportunity to purchase some incredible art which supports conservation at the same time. A win-win all round!" Nicholas Dyer, Chairman, Painted Wolf Foundation
Their reputation for being Africa’s most efficient predator is well-deserved, and it is generally accepted that on average 80% of their hunts result in success. This success is largely due to their high intelligence, teamwork and communication skills. Their dedication to each other’s well-being shows the special bond within the pack. When a dog becomes ill, injured or old, the rest of the pack cares for and feeds them. This was one of the reasons that led to them being featured in David Attenborough’s Dynasties (BBC Series 1 – Painted Wolf).
Today, this remarkable species is extinct in 11 African countries and possibly extinct in 8 other countries, according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
The Exhibition, organised by renowned UK artist Heather Irvine, includes many well-known artists such as Karen Laurence-Rowe (Kenya), Emily Lamb (Art Patron, David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation), Nick Lyon (Director, BBC Dynasties Painted Wolves), Nick Dyer (author of Painted Wolves: A Wild Dog’s Life), Liberty Shuro (Zimbabwe), Livia Gomez (Brazil), Stephen Rew (David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation Wildlife Artist of the Year, 2019), Nick Mackman (David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation Wildlife Artist of the Year, 2015). Full list of artists given below.
As well as raising awareness globally for the African Painted Dog, the aim is to raise much-needed funds (especially with the additional challenges brought by COVID-19) to support two incredible organisations (@painted_dog_conservation and @wildlife_act) in the field, working hard to save the Painted Dogs and support the communities living alongside protected areas. Also to support artists who are struggling with physical exhibitions being closed during COVID-19, but even whilst facing financial challenges, are donating 50% or more of the proceeds from the sale of their artwork to the two organisations.
“Initiatives such as this are so important for boosting the profile of such a highly-threatened species, which face many threats, including persecution by humans due to misconceptions. The more the public comes to love a species such as the Painted Dog, the stronger the desire will be to protect them." Dr Simon Morgan, Co-Founder and Executive Trustee, Wildlife ACT
“Our belief is that, to save Painted Dogs, we have to work with communities, educate the future generation and have a healthy and motivated staff. COVID-19 disrupted our ability to continue engaging with communities face-to -face and affected our children’s Bush Camp Program for 2020, which educates kids between the ages of 10 and 12. Teaching children conservation concepts that seek to influence the next generation to care and protect the environment. As a result of COVID-19, we saw an acute rise in poaching activities hence we engaged local community anti-poaching volunteers to help curb the loss of wildlife.” David Kuvawoga, Operations Manager, Painted Dog Conservation

Heather Irvine (https://www.heatherirvineartist.co.uk)
Heather Irvine is a contemporary nature-inspired artist depicting wildlife, equestrian and canine subjects. Heather lives in Copsale, Horsham, UK.
Her work is based around the sense of emotion and has its roots firmly planted in impressionism with a dash of expressiveness, retaining the feeling of presence using loose brushwork and energy filled strokes. Mainly working from her own imagination, she dabbles in oils, acrylic, mixed media and charcoal for drawing, using bold bright and often complimentary colours to experiment with composition and form. Movement plays a huge role in her work, the animals within it will always be ‘doing’ something, either naturally or as a metaphor for deeper meaning depending on where their journey takes her. She has always had an affinity with Painted Dogs since first seeing them in the late 90’s, a moment that stuck with her and has resulted in many depictions of them throughout her career.
Sketching is imperative and Heather watches and observes wildlife in its natural state wherever possible. The work should therefore flourish with its own life on the canvas and often does mutate as she paints and draws - whatever happens then is instinct and lends itself to a far more organic and often spontaneous artwork.
Heather has exhibited for many years nationally with the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art (now EWA), The Society of Wildlife Artists at the Mall Galleries, London, been a finalist at the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year for over 7 years at the Mall Galleries and been a category winner for two years, and overall winner in 2012 of BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year. Since joining Instagram, Heather has supported the #sketchforwildlife project and run a half marathon raising funds for all wildlife and in particular, Painted Dogs.
Painted Dog Conservation (https://www.painteddog.org/)
Painted Dog Conservation (PDC) is a non-profit making organisation registered in Zimbabwe. PDC’s focal research activities are to monitor distribution, densities and demography of Painted Dogs, in order to understand direct and indirect threats to packs in the greater Hwange ecosystem and the Zambezi Valley in Zimbabwe. PDC monitor more than six packs of painted dogs on a daily basis across Hwange National Park and 4 packs in Mana Pools and the Mid-Zambezi.
Their mission is to create an environment where painted dogs can thrive.
PDC have put together a conservation model that will really work in the long term, and make a significant difference to the Painted Dog population in Zimbabwe. They employ more than 60 people from the local villages to run their conservation programmes and education and outreach programmes.
These efforts span everything from the Anti-Poaching Unit team which patrol local areas daily to provide a direct form of protection for the dogs, the Rehabilitation Facility where injured and orphaned dogs are treated before returning them to the wild.
Wildlife ACT (www.wildlifeact.com)
Wildlife ACT is an award-winning non-profit organisation founded in 2008. Their conservation projects, which extend across the Zululand area of South Africa include uMkhuze Game Reserve, Tembe National Elephant Park, Manyoni Private Game Reserve and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. Many African game reserves do not have the funds or capacity to run effective wildlife conservation projects despite monitoring being an essential part of conservation. Wildlife ACT is unique in that they actively advance conservation by initiating, implementing and managing monitoring projects on reserves which do not have existing monitoring programmes in place, or by taking over existing monitoring projects on reserves that can no longer fund or manage them. This includes the daily monitoring of all 10 Painted Dog packs within KwaZulu-Natal’s protected areas, along with the emergency response, capture and relocation assistance for these packs if they are impacted by snares or they move out of safe zones.
Wildlife ACT’s focus is to help save Africa’s endangered and priority wildlife species from extinction, thereby enabling broad-scale biodiversity conservation. They achieve this by:
● Conducting professional and strategic monitoring and research to enable and inform effective conservation management of wildlife in Africa;
● Securing existing protected areas, driving range expansion of African Wildlife, and combating illegal wildlife poaching;
● Identifying and developing programmes within surrounding communities to support biodiversity conservation and socioeconomic development.
For Wildlife ACT, international volunteers and conservation expeditions have been the cornerstone of their funding stream. They depend on this support to conduct vitally-important endangered and priority wildlife species conservation work of endangered wildlife species such as African Painted Dogs, Cheetah, Vultures and Black Rhino, as well as priority species such as Elephant, Lion, Leopard and many more, including their anti-poaching initiatives.
Wildlife ACT believe fully in the conservation impact of their work, and are heavily reliant on their professional staff who get up daily (and early), so when COVID-19 hit, their drive for the short term was to secure their staff, and secondly, enable the work to continue. This is especially relevant during a down-turn in the economy when protected areas and their wildlife come under more threat due to increased illegal hunting and poaching activities.
Painted Wolf Foundation (https://paintedwolf.org/)
The aim of the Painted Wolf Foundation (PWF) is to raise awareness about this much threatened and ignored species and support organisations that conserve painted wolves in the field.
● Raises awareness about the Painted Wolf worldwide
● Increases the support base for the Painted Wolf
● Elevates the profile of the organisations working to conserve Painted Wolves in the field
● Raises funds to support field-based conservation of the Painted Wolf
● Encourages sharing of best practices
● Supports Painted Wolf campaigns worldwide
They do this by combining expert conservation knowledge with skills in communication and social media. PWF is a registered charity with the UK Charity Commission.

- Award-winning County Antrim writer’s new book
- A retired County Antrim professor has embarked on some creative writing to fill his spare-time and learn to read again.
And Jim Shields has already racked up a hat-trick of awards for his memorable short stories.
A career in industry and then academia did not enhance the 77-year-old’s appreciation of fiction.
Not content with winning the short story section at the Larne Museum and Arts Centre annual competitions with his first attempt in 2016, he followed up by retaining the coveted prize for the following two years.
On the back of his success, he released his first anthology of short stories, Scenes Through the Rearview Mirror, last year to critical acclaim.
Now the father-of-five has followed up on last year’s success with another collection of thought-provoking and entertaining short stories.
Naked Windows went on sale earlier this month.
Jim said: “I always wanted to write fiction, but when I retired in 2004, I found it challenging.
“To write fiction I had to learn to read again - read fiction that is, and resist getting to the bottom line.
“So, in writing I am teaching myself to read.”
Jim worked on many civil engineering projects before switching professions and discovering the world.
He retired from academia with the title Professor Emeritus.
Despite travelling extensively throughout his life, almost all of Jim’s inspiration for his short stories come from his County Antrim surroundings – including a visit to the local library in Larne.
He explained: “One story, The Vikings Are Coming, is fashioned from summer afternoons spent at a beach close to home exploring the landscapes of childhood.
“In another story, I recount my first visit with my uncle to the Carnegie Free Library.
“I discovered science, technology, engineering, languages, literature and ambition.
“I discovered I could have a future - it was up to me.
“In the cloistered cells of the Carnegie Free Library my imagination found its wings.”
Naked Windows is a hugely enjoyable collection of evocative, insightful, and humorous stories.
Jim’s tales of fragile love and vulnerable relationships is an invitation to journey with him along the hedgerows and alleyways of memory.
Away from his writing desk, Jim is an active member of his local amateur dramatics group.
Royalties from Naked Windows will support the work of the Marie Curie Hospice.
For more details, visit Amazon and search for Jim Shields, IBSN: 9798671879360, where the paperback and Kindle formats of Naked Windows are both available.

- US Capital Global Portfolio Company Transforms Parisian Arts Venue into Thriving Street Food Pop-Up
- Prestigious Parisian arts venue funded by San Francisco-based private financial group finds creative and lucrative solution to the COVID-19 crisis by reinventing itself through open-air, futuristic, socially distanced street food pop-ups.
San Francisco, California, USA., September 14, 2020 -- Manifesto Holding PLC (“Manifesto”), one of US Capital Global’s portfolio companies, is a UK-based parent company that owns a host of highly popular arts, music, and culture clubs in Paris, including Wanderlust, Beau Regard, and Joséphine, among others. Despite the COVID-19 crisis, which has forced many hospitality venues around the world to close their doors, Wanderlust, the famous Parisian nightclub boasting the largest terrace in Paris, has impressed investors and club fans alike by reinventing itself into an open-air, futuristic, socially distanced street food pop-up, complete with live DJing and celebrity chefs.
Situated in the 13th arrondissement with unobstructed views of the Seine, Wanderlust is accustomed to over 4000 guests each evening, and since the relaunch of its new incarnation as a street food pop-up, the numbers have remained high.
“From the very beginning of confinement, we understood that the club may have to remain closed for a large portion of the year, so we started creating a new format,” explained Manifesto CEO and founder of Wanderlust, Arnaud Frisch. “We’ve designed a system to ensure safe, socially-distanced dining through mandatory pre-booking, ordering and payment via our online menu, and a QR code directing customers to their seat. Utilizing technology has reduced queuing times, and our staff save time too. We’re looking to keep this system in place beyond the confinement and develop it in the future.”
Celebrity chef Alexia Duchêne, known for her role on season ten of Top Chef, is the well-loved face of Wanderlust Street Food. “Alexia was our first choice because she embodies the values we seek to promote through Wanderlust,” said Frisch. “We strive for a young, fresh approach, serving an enticing, sustainable menu with locally-sourced ingredients in solidarity with small French businesses.”
Waste-reduction is an essential part of Wanderlust Street Food’s model, and aside from using biodegradable dishware and cutlery, all surplus food is distributed through the Too Good To Go app.
“When we take on a portfolio company, we look at the management team and see if they have the creativity to adapt to changing social and economic challenges,” said Jeffrey Sweeney, Chairman and CEO at US Capital Global. “In 2019, US Capital Global anchored a term loan syndication for Manifesto from its own balance sheet. Manifesto’s leadership has demonstrated ingenuity and nimbleness, responding to unfavorable circumstances by generating new sustainable avenues for their venues, staff, and clientele. As a result, they continue to thrive and inspire others during this COVID-19 crisis.”
About Manifesto Holding PLC:
Manifesto Holding PLC is a UK-based parent company for the prestigious Paris nightclubs Wanderlust and Silencio, among others. Establishing revolutionary arts and culture spaces throughout the city, Manifesto’s various venues play host to a dynamic selection of cutting-edge music, arts, film, and fashion events. Working closely with London’s V&A, Cannes, Art Basel, and the Venice Biennale, Manifesto continues to impress with its progressive artistic vision, attracting a community of celebrated artists and thinkers, and promoting the appreciation of culture and cultural diversity.

- Author Michael Kelso Releases His Latest Fiction Novel Titled “Endzone”
- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Author Michael Kelso Releases His Latest Fiction Novel Titled “Endzone”
Talented self-published author and poet, Michael Kelso, talks about the downfall of professional football in his new novel titled “Endzone”
“Endzone” is the first young adult novel from Michael Kelso, as the author of a published crime fiction novel and several self-published horror short story collections delves into the world of sports by exploring the seemingly dark side of professional football. The novel centers on the friendship of an American football player with a 12-year-old football fan, Billy Watkins, and how their relationship exposed young Billy to the darker side of the sport.
American football has broken all barriers, conquering territories across international borders to become one of the most popular games in the world. Michael Kelso is taking lovers of good literature on a journey into the world of American football with his newest self-published novel, “Endzone,” which will be officially released on September 18, 2020.
The fiction novel might attract controversies, as it talks about the downfall of professional football and a side of the game that is seemingly oblivious to the public. “Endzone” is particularly unique as it considers the current uproar of pro football players using their profession as a political platform and the fans backlash at it.
The story of “Endzone” is told through the eyes of Billy Watkins. From drugs and shady deals to the commissioner of the Professional Football Association, a fictional league created by the author, and his lies, to kneeling players, the book tells the story of how Billy decided to take a stand against the rot in the system.
“Endzone” aims to play off of the current dissatisfaction with pro football, speaking to both young fans who still like football and also older fans who have grown weary of the politicizing of the sport and the actions of those who are pushing their agenda onto fans.
Lovers of American football and young adult novels find out if the commissioner will merely dismiss him, or will Billy's courage win the day and help his friend?
“Endzone” is currently available across several online platforms and can be purchased here - https://geni.us/rQP2bDZ. The book also has a fan page on Facebook.

- Writer remembers Clydebank war suffering
- One of the country’s most prolific new writers believes he has worked out what is wrong with the world.
And he has collated his findings in an authoritative anthology of troubling short stories, Darkness Hiding in Plain Sight.
Alastair Macdonald Hart only picked up the pen seriously eight years ago.
The 68-year-old from London has already authored two well-received social history commentaries as well as dystopian and science fiction novels.
But his latest work has seen the grandfather again turn to the short-story format to probe the problems which are affecting modern-day life.
Alastair said: “It’s easy for us to turn a blind eye, to shift our gaze away towards the light and ignore the darkness.
“But it’s always there, festering and writhing and consuming people.
“Whether it’s child abuse, internet and gaming addiction, the enormous disparity between the rich and the poor, or the cruelty of war - these short stories shine a light on the pressing matters that plague the world.”
Alastair was raised from birth in the badly bombed Scottish port town of Clydebank just a few years after the end of World War II.
He witnessed first-hand the devastation which war had left behind.
Although going on to enjoy a successful working life, having four children and moving to London, the influence of bombed out factories and streets, and rationing of food remained with Alastair.
He added: “I was born seven years after the end of World War II yet the effects were still being felt all around me.
“Rationing and bomb sites were still the norm as I grew up in a once great town that was still reeling from the effects of the most devastating war in history.”
Alastair’s biographical social history journey, Where the UK Went Wrong, was published five years ago, with a revised second edition hitting the shelves two year later.
Among his many influences are French novelist and philosopher Jean-Paul Satre and celebrated science fiction scribe Phillip K Dick.
The grandfather has more recently released a five-star science fiction trilogy, The Ark, as well as a troubling dystopian collection of short stories, Do the Blind Dream in Colour?
For more details, visit Amazon and search for Alastair Macdonald Hart, where the paperback and Kindle formats of Darkness Hiding in Plain Sight are both available.

- Kent writer’s play on Big Ben architect delayed by virus
- A former literature teacher from Kent has gone into print after her debut play about Big Ben architect Augustus Pugin was postponed due to the pandemic.
Sue Cole was expecting the curtain to lift this month on her enlightening and enjoyable play, Forgotten Genius.
But not even Pugin’s own church in Ramsgate is exempt from strict performance prohibitions.
To ease the disappointment Sue has published her work ahead of rescheduled performances next year.
Forgotten Genius has already attracted five-star reviews and reached the top ten on Amazon’s biography charts.
Sue explained: “I am primarily a poet, but I also write short stories, opinion pieces, travel journals, satire, talks and presentations - this is my first play.
“It came about as I, along with our group of U3A members, put on a dramatised reading once a year, using local churches as venues.
“About three years ago, we did T S Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral in Pugin’s church.
“I felt that the neo-gothic architecture was a perfect setting for it.
“The Eliot was very successful, and I was asked – or challenged - to write a play about Pugin, to be performed during Pugin week.
“I had never written a play, but I cannot resist a challenge.
“It took a long time, with lots of enthusiasm and support from both the church and the U3A, only to find that we can’t do it because of lockdown. Next year, I hope.
“Instead, I decided to publish.”
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin is best known for designing the interior of the Palace of Westminster as well as the Big Ben clocktower.
He is rightly regarded as being responsible for leading the Gothic revival in architecture during the Victorian era – and some of his finest work can still be seen in Ramsgate, including the St Augustine Shrine.
Each September, architectural enthusiasts from around the country descend on Ramsgate for Pugin Week.
While Forgotten Genius should have had its premiere during the festival, fans can now get a sneak preview with the printed work.
Sue added: “It is not a straightforward biography, as we meet the people around him, and they talk to each other about him.
“I particularly explore the irony of his vast legacy on our towns and lives, while few people have ever heard of him.
“As biography, most of the play depicts real people, and some real events, but the chronology has been altered for dramatic purposes.
“Apart from that, and the dialogue of course, everything in it is real.”
Reviewers have described Forgotten Genius as ‘a brilliant play’, ‘passionately written’, and ‘thoroughly researched’.
Sue has lived in East Kent for more than 20 years.
Now in her mid-60s, the former teacher of literature and film has visited no fewer than 70 different countries, and she has also racked up three Masters’ degrees.
Previous published works by Sue are A Taste of Place and The Sitter and Other Five-Minute Stories.
For more details, visit Amazon and search for Sue Cole where the paperback and Kindle formats of Forgotten Genius are both available.

- Hampshire dad’s spider book crawls up charts
- A singer-songwriter from Hampshire is hoping to cure the country of its arachnophobia with a little help from an artist friend in Devon.
Glenn Cranmer has just published his hugely-enjoyable debut children’s book, Cyril the Spider, to widespread critical acclaim.
With stunning artwork from Simon Groves, Cyril the Spider has already reached the top ten in Amazon’s children’s charts.
Father-of-two Glenn, who fronts the band Raindog in his spare time, believes spiders are often misunderstood.
And the 49-year-old hopes children, and their parents, will view the insects a little differently after reading Cyril the Spider.
He explained: “Spiders live amongst us more than any other insect.
“When you think about spiders, you think about fly-crunching creepy crawlies.
“And they all seem to be such solitary little souls.
“But there are some spiders who are just born different - Cyril is one of those spiders.
“I liked the idea of creating one who actually had more to offer and wanted to help others with his abilities.
“Then perhaps when a child comes across a tiny thread hanging from the ceiling they might think ‘it could be Cyril’.
“And let him go on his way.”
Cyril the Spider is an enchanting tale about a creative spider who can make amazing things out of silk.
But mystery surrounds the continued disappearance of his wonderful creations.
Becoming disillusioned after believing other spiders are destroying his work, Cyril faces a crisis of character.
A colony of bees eventually turn out to be his saving grace as well as the culprits behind his missing silk-work.
Cyril the Spider has a resounding message of it being okay to be a little different sometimes.
Glenn believes the true magic of his first children’s book was only realised when Simon’s illustrations were added.
He explained: “Simon’s support has been invaluable, and his wonderful illustrations bought Cyril to life so perfectly for me.”
As well as an illustrator and painter, 53-year-old Simon, who lives in Barnstaple, is also a highly respected graphic designer.
Since the publication of Cyril the Spider it has earned entirely five-star reviews.
It has been described as ‘sweet and captivating’, ‘charming’, and ‘beautifully illustrated’.
Reviewer Mark Ponsford added: “Five stars for this enchanting little tale.”
Glenn is currently working on a sequel to Cyril the Spider, called Wing Mirror Spiders.
For more details, visit Amazon and search for Glenn Cranmer, where the paperback and Kindle formats of Cyril the Spider are both available.

- Research and Development in the UK Post Pandemic and how Areande can Lead the Way by Dale Curran
- During these uncertain times the world looks for resolutions, left right and centre. Large scale companies and small independent companies have felt the crunch that COVID19 in the aftermath of the pandemic. Now, we need innovation more than ever. We need to evolve in our practices, we need to address every finite detail. This article will focus on research and development in ways Areande can support business bounce back after the recession and claim back tax relief.
Research and Development is and has always been vital in the progression of businesses. A small acorn over time can grow to become a mighty tree. The smallest idea can turn into a million pound company. In the business world there is the saying “there is no wrong idea”, if you nurture something and put it on the correct avenue who knows what the end result could be. “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, “Richard Branson worked in a record shop”. The grandest things started from somewhere and Areande will support those to consolidate their strengths.

- Top Maryland journalist takes readers back to Revolution
- An award-winning journalist from Maryland has turned his investigative eye on tea and sugar for an incredible story of heroism that helped shape America.
And he has also teamed up with his wife to act as historic detectives for another thrilling trans-Atlantic adventure story set during the American Revolution.
Gilbert Lewthwaite was a national and international correspondent with both the Baltimore Sun and Daily Mail, in London, during a distinguished career in news.
As well as racking up countless awards for his exposés, which included a Pulitzer Prize nomination for a series on slavery in Sudan, Gilbert was dispatched to war zones, natural disasters, and critical elections around the world.
Now retired, he has turned his attentions on a period in history that shaped both America and Britain for two stunning novels.
The Sweetest Deal of the American Revolution follows privateer Stewart Dean as pressure grew from all sides on British control of valuable commodities in the Caribbean.
From the American tea protests in Boston to the Franco-Spanish assault around Dominica, to gain control of sugar trade, Gilbert’s stunning portrayal of the late 18th century brings to life the years that led to American independence.
Discussing The Sweetest Deal of the American Revolution, he said: “In early 1782, the revolution that started with the Boston Tea Party was about to end with a fight over the Caribbean sugar bowl.
“Stewart Dean, an American privateer, sailed his fast, well-armed boat, Nimrod, from the new United States into the tropical fray, and landed himself smack in the middle of The Sweetest Deal of the American Revolution.
“Trapped in a web of international conflict, trade and diplomacy, he was saved by England’s growing taste for the 18th century’s most valuable commodity – sugar.
“How and why it happened is a story, never before told, of American enterprise, English stoicism, and French self-interest.”
Gilbert’s portrayal of the Caribbean end-game, which led to the Treaty of Paris, is compellingly told through the heroics of Stewart Dean.
The unravelling Caribbean situation of the late 18th century also acts as a backdrop for another intriguing tale of adventure.
Gilbert teamed up with his wife Valerie to bring Mari’s Way – Romance and Revolution to the page.
From an 1826 short story published in the Easton Gazette, the couple pieced together the many clues presented by author Catharine Sedgwick to identify characters, incidents and locations.
And their detective work has led to a gripping story of courage, defiance and adventure that brought a well-bred 18th century English girl to the forced-labour colonies of the Caribbean.
Gilbert added: “Mari Westin rebels against the restraints of her time.
“She seizes opportunity wherever life leads her and whatever it throws at her:
“From heroic rescue, to arranged marriage in the Caribbean - from early widowhood, to romantic fulfilment in the new United States, Mari’s Way – Romance and Revolution is an intriguing trans-Atlantic mix of truth and legend, characters real and imagined, time and place, firmly based on historic fact.”
Away from research and writing, Gilbert and Valerie Lewthwaite enjoy sailing and travelling across the Atlantic to visit their grandchildren in England.
They are both members of the Historical Novel Society.
For more details, visit Amazon and search for Gilbert Lewthwaite where the paperback and Kindle formats of both The Sweetest Deal of the American Revolution and Mari’s Way – Romance and Revolution are both available.

- Why Is Learning Management System(LMS) Important Nowadays?
- Online learning is not a luxury anymore. Do you know what’s common among public speakers, motivational speakers, yoga instructors, fitness trainers, music teachers, and school, college and university teachers? They all conduct their sessions in large batches.Their environment is social, they are accustomed to it. For them, this social life is what keeps them up. And above all, this social life is their bread and butter, and cheese and wine. Online classes allow them to get a feel of this social life without compromising their health. But that doesn’t mean online classes will cease to exist when this lockdown is over.People have become more health-conscious now, and it’s believed they'll maintain social distance even after there is no lockdown. It will take them some time to acclimatise and get back to their social self. And even then, online classes will keep rising in popularity.Be it an educational institute, a fitness centre, a public addressing venue or a music school, Corona infection can spread anywhere and everywhere. With the help of a learning management system, you can create a safe learning environment for students where they can take the course without going out in the quarantine.

- Jeremy Young publishes first book revealing “How to Survive the Office”
- London, UK: Jeremy Young today announced the release of his book, “How To Survive The Office.” The book is a strong anti-thesis for conventional business literature, which pictures an idealized office work environment.
“The similarities of office life all over the world are striking. The problems experienced by junior associates, executive staff, and C.E.O.s, though at different levels of complexity, are remarkably alike. Equally similar are the promoted solutions in M.B.A. degrees, business books, and soft skills development training programs,” says Jeremy Young. “Life will become less complicated when we accept the dynamics of office life as it really is. I learned this through trial and error. Through this book, I hope to save you from these trials and tribulations and guide you as my Shaman did for me some years ago.”
The book is published by Kindle Direct Publishing and available in print and e-book format on Amazon.
