From barren rocks ... to living stones” is a concise and incident packed memoir that covers an eighteen month period in the teenage life of the author in the nineteen sixties. It is seen originally from a young person’s perspective; and, as the writer matures and shares his experiences, in turn the reader gains from his reflections on the people and the places, beginning in Colonial era Aden, where he has lived, observed, and remembered. Conversational in style, it is very per- sonal which brings something of an intimacy into the story being revealed. The book is a meditative postscript to the twentieth century bringing some valid and perceptive insights. Persuing through the events of the time, we begin to see a life that will swing from the sadness to the times of joy, times of humour and times of thoughtfulness, times of tragedy and times of tenderness. We can see the issues as one faces the dual challenges of a western youth culture in the context of a home in the middle east. Like wise there is the aspects of seeing the contrast of an Islamic and Christian culture side by side. However, the deep concerns of the middle eastern terrorism of the nineteen sixties also brings a topical aspect into the process of learning from the events as we begin the twenty first century with strong concerns about the dangers of living with the threat of terrorism.

In a world where technology gallops ahead and surveillance seeps into every corner of life, one man dares to rewrite the rules. It Is Good to Be Bad is a razor-sharp thriller that opens the Chronicles of the Guild trilogy with style, substance, and a touch of rebellion.Meet Christopher Martin-Olsen: brilliant, ambitious, and not quite the villain you’d expect. When opportunity knocks—loudly—he seizes the chance to build something extraordinary: a network of discreet operations designed to help the ultra-wealthy and powerful dance between the raindrops of legality when doing what is still ethically acceptable. But no good disruption goes unpunished.As governments grow more watchful and institutions more ruthless, Christopher must navigate a web of competing interests, shifting loyalties, and morally murky waters. A secretive cabal supports his vision—though their motives remain as layered as their influence. Consequently, when allies falter and enemies strike, survival demands more than ingenuity; it calls for boldness, sacrifice, and perhaps a few well-calculated risks.This is no dry lecture on financial trickery or bureaucratic overreach. With wit, grit, and a fast-paced narrative, It Is Good to Be Bad explores the thin line between principle and pragmatism. Its characters are complex, flawed, and painfully human—each facing their own internal battles as they clash with external forces that are as real as they are relentless.Is Christopher a mastermind or a pawn? A hero or a villain? That’s for the reader to decide. What’s certain is this: once you enter his world, nothing will seem quite as black and white again.Clever, suspenseful, and unsettlingly plausible, this novel is for anyone who enjoys being challenged as much as entertained. Because sometimes, in a world stacked against you, it’s not about being good— it’s about being good at being bad.
