What if everybody chose to be kind?

If you tell someone that they can’t play with you, there’s no harm done, right? But what if everybody said that? What if everybody forgot to be kind…and made fun of other kids’ artwork at school, or told a fib, or refused to share with a person in need? The world wouldn’t be a very nice place to live. But what if everybody thought before they spoke, so the world would be a kinder place?

With clear prose and lighthearted artwork, this companion book to the bestseller What If Everybody Did That? explores the power of words and shows kids that the things we say matter.

‘Full of terrific historical detail… has that sparky confidence and unputdownable quality.’
Alison Pearson, judge for the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize‘This book is well written and the narrator, in whichever guise, is engaging… a very readable, interesting… exciting book, which I am happy to recommend’

Orphaned young, H is sent to live with her doting aunt in London. H’s life is a happy one until her lecherous cousin robs her of her innocence, and the plague takes away the city and the people she loves. H is cast out – friendless, pregnant and destitute – into the rapidly emptying streets of London under quarantine.

Forced to fend for herself, she is determined to gain back the life she lost. H will face a villain out for revenge, find love in the most unexpected places, and overcome a betrayal that she never could have foreseen. Weathering it all, can H charm, or scheme, her way to the life of freedom and independence that she longs for?

“A rip-roaring, irresistible page-turner” – Sunday Times

Who do you trust when everyone lies?

It’s the Swinging Sixties, post-war Australia is booming and the excitement of the city lures two young women to Sydney. Naïve, country-raised Rose is overawed by the glamorous worldly Margot who makes no secret of her social ambitions.

But it is a chance meeting with two debonair Europeans that draws them into a tragedy that will change each of their lives forever.

Fast forward over two decades later, and a leading investigative media team has begun investigating a long-ago murder on the sleepily opulent Northern Beaches. The locals are abuzz with speculation. Some have reason to feel nervous – including the police. Others, who have stayed silent for years, are at last tempted to tell the truth. A truth Margot and Rose could never have imagined.

From Sydney’s deceptive glitter to the grit of Warsaw under siege, Dark Side of the Harbour is a gripping story of courage, resilience, and deadly secrets – where only the strongest bonds survive.

“Move over Sidney Sheldon…Gripping, highly entertaining” – Sunday Mail

Here’s the set-up:

As the Cold War between East and West commences, so does our story. The setting is war-ravaged Berlin in late 1946. From that devastated and divided city, spies from both sides began to move with relative ease throughout occupied Germany. America and its allies need to determine the composition and deployment locations of the military forces Russia has moved into the very heart of Western Europe. The Russians work diligently to deny the Western Powers knowledge of their intentions and strategies while consolidating their position in their new vassal states in Middle Europe including East Germany; their ultimate goal is to spread communism to the rest of the world.
Recently declassified documents have revealed the true nature and extent of the spy versus spy conflict that occurred from the mid-1940s through the early-1990s between the American CIA and British MI6 on one side and the Russian KGB and GRU (plus eventually the East German Stasi) on the other.In late 1946, Kurt Altschuler arrives in the divided city of Berlin. His job as an Associate Press News Agency reporter serves as a cover for his true role as a CIA agent. His first assignment is to establish a spy network that covers the Russian occupied zone of Germany.
Two years later, during the Berlin Blockade, he meets Erica Hoffmann, a beautiful East German archeology student. Any relationship between a CIA agent and an East German woman is strictly forbidden; she might be part of a ‘honey pot sting.’ Love could not have found them at a worse moment. Their tempestuous relationship keeps Kurt in Berlin and on the front lines of the Cold War for the next thirteen years.
The 1953 East German uprising which was violently suppressed by Russian tanks is a seminal event in Kurt and Erica’s stormy love life. The next year, Kurt is tasked with managing the construction of the first Berlin Tunnel; if successfully completed, it would allow the British MI6 and the CIA to monitor communist communication throughout Russian occupied Europe.
Ultimately Kurt becomes Chief Operations Officer for CIA station Berlin. In that capacity, he manages the EAST-WEST spy-versus-spy interactions in Berlin for years. His experience allows him to direct his subordinates when the Berlin Wall is closed, the Berlin Crisis occurs, and a second tunnel is built into East Berlin. He yearns for action and even risks brief excursions behind the Iron Curtain.
The novel begins and ends with a deadly confrontation between Kurt, a rogue CIA agent, and three Stasi Agents in an abandoned warehouse in East Berlin.

“”A thoroughly enjoyable page-turner filled with history, intrigue, and suspense. Roger Liles’ second book in the planned cold war trilogy transports the reader back to post World War II Berlin where Espionage is the order of the day. It relates how close we really came to World War III”—USN Captain Terry Badger, Author of The Saga of HS-6 and Snake Tails
