From the author of The Flood and The Drought comes this charming collection of verse. Within this elegant volume Wright demonstrates his prowess, showing there's a lot more to autumn than simply falling leaves.

"The Sanctuary: my place. A place where those in need could find shelter from the various harms that lurk in society's darker regions. The only rule I had in place was that of respecting one another: simple, effective, and downright apt for the purpose at hand." Apart from his amnesia, his cadre of suspicious friends, and the threat of a hooded thug roaming the streets, Edgar Northwood is dead right. Will he ever recover his memory, or will he be beholden to the angry whims of the very society he is trying to save? J. S. Wright steps his writing up to another level with this riotously funny account of an eccentric millionaire; one that would sit easily beside the novels of Wodehouse or Wilde.

In this quirky single act comedy from J. S. Wright, three men from three completely different walks of life meet for the first time in the waiting room of their local police station. As their evening wears on, however, they all will discover that they're perhaps not as disconnected as it may first appear.

With just a slim volume of verse, J. S. Wright manages to say more than most manage in a lifetime. The verses within this little tome speak loudly, beating their breasts with verve and excitement and bearing naked emotion without a hint of shame. An excellent addition to the bookshelf of any poetry lover, and likely to convert those who treat the medium with disdain.

Scottish Borders, 1921. When Eleanor Armstrong and her brother Thomas move from Edinburgh to the old house of Anton’s Walls, they hope to give Thomas peace from the shell-shock that damaged his mind.

Newly knighted Sir Andrew Douglas hopes for glory and adventure when he ventures to the crusades, but is diverted to fight the rogue knight Hugo de Soulis at Caercorbie. Past and present combine in this dark tale of necromancy and demons amongst the moorland and hills of rural Scotland. Can Eleanor and Thomas overcome an ancient, powerful evil?

When Jack Westbrook takes a trip to the countryside to meet old friends, he has no idea that he's in for the worst party of his life. With Henry's Last Party, Julian Wright has created something truly unique: a murder mystery that somehow defies the usual trappings of the genre. This play is well suited to professionals and amateurs alike, needing only a small cast and a single setting. Well, what are you waiting for? Come and join the party!

Continuing on from the first volume's strong debut, this edition demonstrates the power of the author's control over words, phrases, and emotions.
