“To think well and to consent to obey someone giving good advice are the same thing.” - Herodotus

They say that a good scare is worth more to a man than good advice, but you can avoid a lot of scares by following some of the guides in this section. It covers everything from music and money to soap making and snares, so there is no excuse not to learn some new skills. Some of these books are still practical, while others are humorously outdated, but they all still have the power to inform and entertain.

Alex Martin - Love and Loss and the Perils of War
FEATURED AUTHOR - 'The Plotting Shed' (see her blog http://www.intheplottingshed.com/) was Alex Martin's first writing space at the bottom of her Welsh garden. Now she splits her time between Wales and France and plot wherever she is. She still wanders aimlessly in the countryside with her dog and her dreams and she can still be found typing away with imaginary friends whispering in her ear, but these days she has the joy of seeing her stories published and the treasured feedback from readers who've enjoyed them.
