MINDSLIP is the catastrophe which hits the Earth at 8.15am GMT next Wednesday morning. It began six hundred and fifty years earlier when Betelgeuse fulfilled its long-held prophecy to turn supernova. The radiation, gamma rays and gravitational waves hit the Earth at the same time as a coronal mass ejection. The combined bombardment causes all creatures on the Earth to swap minds, leaving people in animals, animals in people, men in women and children in adults. The nightmare which follows becomes a social and economic catastrophe.Geoffrey Arnold becomes a key figure in the government catastrophe committee, formed to resolve the myriad issues raised by MINDSLIP. Power generation, the health service, farming, pay, pensions, education, the banking system and asset ownership spiral into chaos.In addition, Geoffrey must save his wife from an imminent premature death brought on by one of the MINDSLIP effects.MINDSLIP is a realistic, frightening and sometimes amusing work of imagination which explores how people and families react to the world being changed beyond recognition. Note: MINDSLIP had been acquired by a publisher who, regrettably, has now folded. Rather than put the original version up on Wattpad, I have decided to give it a considerable edit. I'd love to know what you think. The early chapters might disturb, but hopefully they will also make you think about how you would deal with Geoff, Andrea, Angus, Caroline or Allan's situations.

Understanding what is happening in space research is no longer a matter of watching a documentary once a year, or reading the odd abridged article in a newspaper. It requires a comprehensive knowledge of all things NASA, ESA, Roscosmos and the work going on in universities around the world.I have tried to keep up to date and thought the subject of going to Mars needed some simplified explanation. I have tried to do that here.©2018 Tony Harmsworth…

It is always very difficult to debunk conspiracy theories because the claims made by the conspiracists need no justification at all and are often based on an actual ignorance of the science. Debunking their claims requires an understanding of basic scientific procedure at the very least, the exact knowledge they lack, and this, in turn, causes an irrational refusal to believe what they are being told. Because of the Internet, they are often extremely well informed, but also completely wrong.…

So fa la land is a dramatised account of a life of poverty for an early twentieth century Scottish mining household through one daughter's eyes using flashbacks from the sixties. Before you start to read this book I would like to emphasise that all of the stories are true. I have, of course, had to invent dialogue to match the situations, but much of that is from conversations and recordings. I have filled in gaps where the descriptions of the places and people are unclear, but otherwise the stories all happened, whether it be a ruler smashing into the children's knuckles; Robbie's shoes being open to the weather; my father investigating a lost ashtray; and the extremely rare piece of steak served to my uncle. The rare aspect was nothing to do with how it was served, by the way. The Robertsons once lived at 11 Middle Street, Cuthill near Prestonpans, Scotland. My mother, a seventh child of a seventh child, was Williamina Whyte Robertson, better known as Minnie. The family were in a very poor state and comprised a mining family of eleven children. Some of the stories might make painful reading. There will also be stories about my father George Harmsworth who came from Boxmoor near Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. George Harmsworth and Minnie Robertson married on January 8th 1934, seven months before the birth of their first daughter Rose and thereby lies another tale. Please let me know about typos, grammar and spelling blunders. Family ... let me know if I have said something which you believe is not accurate. (C) 2016/7 Tony Harmsworth - All Rights Reserved.
