During The Glorious Age of Invention following a Great Plague that wiped out many in England and a Great Fire that wiped out the Plague, a young unknown Porter came onto the scene- destined to become a National Hero - Henry Winstanley rose from fixing windows at an Essex Manor House tc turning his own into a 17th Century version of Disneyland.
A fantastical Waterworks followed in London’s Piccadilly featuring a magic barrel spouting all manner of drinks from a single tap as fire-breathing dragons swooped overhead and a robotic duck laid eggs beneath attracting crowds long after his death.
Henry’s most cherished Wonder started saving lives as soon as it was built - a magnificent Lighthouse that he stated his wish to be inside during ‘The Greatest Storm That Ever Was’ to celebrate its worth. He died when his wish was granted - on November 26th 1703, in what is still judged to be Britain’s worst ever storm, both Henry and all remnants of his precious Lighthouse were destroyed.
By building his lighthouse entirely at sea Henry had surpassed Alexander the Great’s Pharos - becoming in effect The Eighth Wonder of the World.

If things weren’t complicated enough, Rona also has to deal with the arrival of Arman – an old business rival of Peter’s whose reputation for violence precedes him.

Oliver Wright had it all — until his heart gave out.
A high-flying financier in London, Oliver’s life was built on power, speed, and excess. But when a heart attack sends him crashing back to earth, he retreats to Shoreham-by-Sea, a sleepy coastal town where he hopes the sea air and slower pace will mend more than just his health.
At the Sussex Yacht Club, Oliver seeks refuge among tides and tradition — but the ghosts of his past are not so easily outrun. As ambition rekindles and alluring women stir old desires, Oliver finds himself caught between reinvention and relapse. In a town known for calm waters, darker undercurrents begin to pull him under.
Can a man change his nature — or only his surroundings? Shoreham may offer a second chance... but only if Oliver can resist the very temptations that could destroy him.
Anna carries a secret, a secret she's guarded for many years. But things have changed, and it isn't safe anymore; she can't handle this alone. She needs them now ... more than ever.
A dark act, malicious and cold-blooded, perpetrated decades ago, spawns a prophecy that threatens to destroy all that her family have ever strived for. To take their very heritage from them, destroy their honour, their dignity, their race. Yet still they stand together, a minority against all that would force them apart, as they cling tightly to their ancient traditions and beliefs.
The Guardians had forewarned them of the prophecy, of the repercussions that would follow them through generation after generation, until the end of time.
Maybe now was the time to try and end this.

In this fascinating and, at times, hilarious account of an improbable career, Ronnie Landau, classicist and modern historian, takes the reader from his beginnings in a small Jewish community in north-east England, to his diverse experience of teaching and lecturing in radically different educational settings.
Whether it is his account of cutting his teeth in a rough-and-tumble north London comprehensive, being a visiting tutor in uber-posh Eton, running a massive department in Europe’s largest adult education Institute, being visiting professor in a Canadian university, located in an exotic English castle, or enthusing about Greek civilisation aboard cruise ships, this book will inform, engage and entertain.
This memoir also tells of the author’s struggles to write about what he sees as the most important, universal messages of the Holocaust, and the intimidating demands of getting his first book published.
Penetrating, thought-provoking and often irreverent, this rich assembly of ideas and observations will challenge the way we think about the worlds of education and identity, and of recent history itself.
“If you’re very lucky, there will be two or three teachers over a lifetime who you can point to and say they shaped the way you see the world. For me, without hesitation, one of those is Ronnie Landau. Through him I learnt the modern history of the Jewish people, a knowledge which informs my thinking to this day. It was a privilege to be his student and it is a privilege to read his story.”

My daughter Rosanna, who's already a successful author and illustrator of children's picture books, encouraged me to write the story, and White Magic Studios provided the much-needed editing, illustrations, and layout. The result is a beautiful book that I'm proud to share with you.
The story follows the journey of a hedgehog who's visited by the ghost of his grandfather, who advises him to leave the hedgerow and make a better life for himself. He teams up with a retired sheepdog and a grumpy donkey, and together they join a failing circus. The friends' brilliant circus acts start to bring in the crowds, and the circus thrives once again.
As a parent and grandparent myself, I understand the importance of reading enjoyable books to children. Too often, books marketed for children can be boring and uninteresting for adults. That's why I was determined to write a book that would entertain both children and adults. White Magic Studios' beautiful illustrations add an extra layer of magic to the story. For example, there's a circus lion thinking he'll lose his job if the circus closes, weeping in the arms of his surprised trainer 'what will become of me?'. And the hedgehog and the dog trying to help the donkey back on his feet after an unsuccessful 'head over heels' roll down a hill, causing mayhem with local wildlife.
I believe that with White Magic Studios' excellent help and advice, I have produced a book that will keep the parent awake while sending the children to sleep with happy dreams. I highly recommend White Magic Studios to anyone who has written a book but needs help with the intricacies of the publishing process. Trust me; they're the best in the business. So go ahead, grab a copy of The Hedgehog, the Dog, the Donkey and the Little Girl, and immerse yourself in a world of magic and wonder.
First and Best of All Publishers
Unlike the several other publishers I have dealt with, in the past, I found White Magic Studios most approachable, most friendly, and always reliable. They are absolute masters of graphic design and have produced the most powerful, eye-catching covers for all 3 of my books I have been privileged enough to publish with them. Their text formatting is also second to none. I give them 5 star ratings across the board.

A Positive Experience
From my first phone call, I was impressed by the polite, friendly voice (John) which explained how White Magic Studios (WMS) help authors to self publish their work. All my questions were answered in full and it did not take long for me to decide on this form of publishing.
Once the process was underway, I also had email and phone discussions with Vrinda and John. I can honestly say I was impressed by their courtesy, helpfulness and friendliness in all my contacts. I was allowed to view my work and make comments/alterations throughout the process. Consequently, I was delighted with every aspect of the finished book which included its cover (designed by my grand-daughter), layout and letterings. I have no hesitation in recommending WMS to anyone who wishes to self publish.
I am 75 and a first time author, I knew nothing about the process. White Magic Studios were the perfect people to produce my book. They took me through it stage by stage. Because I knew so little, I gave poor Vrinda a few headaches, sorry, which she dealt politely and professionally. My book is beautiful and is selling better than I could ever hope for. I will be sending them my second book shortly and look forward to working with Vrinda and John again.
Quick responses, clear instructions what the process involved and friendly, efficient communication throughout. Progress of book was communicated and I felt in control of its production from start to finish. Editing was prompt. It helped to have a designated person to correspond with who was efficient and encouraging. I was very pleased with the cover design and layout.
White Magic Studios your amazing

Totally throughout with whole process I received regular progress reports extremely thorough and completely so helpful and reliable. I felt I was part of a family and that for me was so comforting. John was the very first person I spoke to and was such a true support really was. Vrinda I have to say was just amazing so thorough and totally made everything so easy for me as a first time writer. An amazing team really are. White Magic Studios genuinely cares for your work and are so sincere in all they do. I highly recommend this amazing company and will be most certainly be using them again. I love them all. Brilliant ❤.
A Little Bit o' Magic
Very efficient and prompt service. Delighted with the design cover and layout and my first fictional novel, A Little Bit o' Magic. My only slight disappointment was the unit printing cost per book, which was more expensive than previous quotes I had been given.
Against this, the fees for publication were highly competitive. All in all, very satisfied and would definitely recommend.
Many thanks to Vrinda and John for all their efforts and all the best for the future.
A happy and fulfilling experience
I've truly enjoyed working with Vrinda, John and the team at White Magic Studios.
They have listened carefully to my ideas, been patient while I fixed my mistakes, and always been clear on the process.
It's been an enjoyable experience that's helped me to finally realise my ambition and publish a book.
White Magic Studios are a Must visit site for all writers and artists.
I found it quite straightforward to prepare the manuscript for my book but the process of formatting it into book form requires a high degree of technical skill. At this point, I contacted White Magic Studios for professional help and for a small fee they agreed to format my manuscript and they even found a platform to sell it from on a global scale! Working with the White Magic Studio staff has been a pleasure throughout the stage-by-stage process. At each stage, good advice was given to carefully build the book step by step towards ultimate perfection. My book has been in the making for over 40 years. Thank you W.M.S. for turning a dream into vivid reality!
Professional, friendly and respectful
I was very impressed with the services that White Magic Studios offer. They have distributed my novel to all major libraries and bookstores as well as online, and set up an author website, book trailer and so much more.
They have dealt with all aspects of the process very professionally and only proceeded after seeking my approval - they gave me full control throughout.
Vrinda and Ronald were both very friendly and helpful. They were informative and keen to answer any of my questions.
I would gladly recommend White Magic Studios to any authors as they have been outstanding.
Mr. Peel's Posters
Varun, Vrinda and the Team at White Magic Studios have been brilliant. Helping me every step of the way to successfully publishing my book. Mr. Peel's Posters
has allowed me to introduce an important figure in the history of poster making to a wider public.
Their patience and guidance, combined with an eye for detail, has resulted in a book that I am happy to call my own.
Superb result to a difficult task
I contracted White Magic to design 3 new book covers for 3 of my 8 novels. A quote, timescale and questionnaires setting out the parameters agreed. First drafts were complete within a few days and all requests for changes, most of which were my requests additional to my original concept, were completed quickly and efficiently by WM. I now have 3 new covers which embody the theme of the novels' content and look excellent. Keith Wells
