Memoir

Notes From A Factory Floor – How I got from there to here

by Geoff Thompson

'The vulnerability, passion and impact of Geoff Thompson's writing is an exciting and dangerous tightrope. A gift.' Orlando Bloom

A BAFTA winning screenwriter, penning multi-award winning films for luminaries such as Ray Winstone, Paddy Considine, Orlando Bloom, Maxine Peake, Anne Reid, Alison Steadman and James Cosmo, Geoff Thompson is also one of the world’s highest ranking (8th dan) martial arts teachers. The prestigious Black Belt Magazine USA polled him as the most influential martial artist in the world since Bruce Lee.

Further to his bestselling first memoir, Watch My Back, Geoff is often asked to fill in the gaps of his fascinating and inspirational life story by eager fans.

How did he manoeuvre himself from a tiny room in a Coventry bedsit to the hallowed halls of BAFTA Piccadilly? How did he transcend his designated class and matriculate into a reality where class holds no relevance? What was the trajectory, and who did he meet along the way – who were the angels and demons of destiny? And what can we learn from his incredible journey?

Ultimately people want to know the real Geoff, the inner thoughts, the essentials of his pilgrimage, the lessons of his unique experiences. Or more succinctly, now that he’s made it this far, `what does he actually know?’.

Notes From A Factory Floor has the answers and is the ideal read for anyone who feels there is more to life. Geoff is the proof.

Geoff’s memoir published September 2020.

Scams, Security and Over-Sharing

This book isn't about cybersecurity, it's about life.

Scams, Security and Over-Sharing: Controlling your information and staying safe online isn’t about cybersecurity, it’s about life. Specifically, connected life in the 21st century. It’s about the behaviours we need to change and the threats we need to be aware of to ensure that we can keep ourselves and our families as safe as possible in the new connected world. We are the pioneers in connectivity and this world is evolving in a way that none of us has ever seen before.

This book covers elements of 21st century life which will be familiar to all consumers – from social media, to email hacking, to content theft, to connected devices and even connected cars. It steers clear of just dryly delivering facts but will use true anecdotes to tell stories of the dangers of connectivity to us all, every day, and how we can make simple changes to live our connected lives more safely.

Memoir

Jennifer Juniper

by Jenny Boyd

The incredible memoir of Sixties muse Jenny Boyd, the inspiration for Donovan’s ‘Jennifer Juniper’.

Jenny Boyd’s extraordinary life is the stuff of novels and movies. It has been peopled by luminaries from Princess Diana to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi; legendary bands from The Beatles to Fleetwood Mac; and set in exotic locations from Kenya, London, California to India.

Jenny inspired Donovan’s famous song Jennifer Juniper and her photograph was featured inside the box set of his eponymous album A Gift From A Flower to a Garden. Jenny was a top fashion model, alongside her sister Pattie, in “Swinging London” at its trendy epicentre in Carnaby Street.

Married twice to rock legend Mick Fleetwood, she became a sought after writer and speaker on musicians, culture and creativity, as well as an expert in counselling psychology.

Her memoir, Jennifer Juniper, is out now!
