Now having wider distribution in a number of formats is the new edition of Tommy's War: July 1914.  This is a highly unusual book, giving nothing less than an account of an endeavour to change history. Personally, I believe WWI to be the most important development in history, apart from the development of nuclear weapons in 1945. Click HERE for details of the book's extended AVAILABILITY.

     Selected reviews have now been added. All have taken an interestingly different perspective.

 

     The associated section of this website should, I hope, be of interest in its own right, given the factual historical basis of the book. Personally, I believe 1914 to be the most significant year in all of history, given what followed, with consequences right up to our present day.​

     There is a new piece in the Essays and Articles sub-section, written for the school magazine of Vasile Alecsandri High School, Galatz, Romania, during a time when that nation was just emerging from the regime of Nicolae Ceaucescu. This has the title of Carp and Tomatoes in the Last Wilderness. 

 

      All four Benybooks are, for a limited time only, still available free from KOBO and at a special low price on Amazon. These books were only intended to ne a short term feature, and the first of them, The Lake, will be withdrawn shortly.

     Pwll Uchaf is now one of the pieces in the new (August 2025) book  The Answer is an Egg Sandwich. Other books  that may be of interest include the controversial Gospel of St Judas , the unsparing non-fiction of Lightning Strikes Twice, about recovery from two life-threatening strokes and the three volumes making up the ELDRITCH COLLECTIONS. 

​

     Random Arrows received the latest of its periodic updates on 16th April, 2025.

 

     Pwll Uchaf has therefore been removed from the site and replaced by a straightforward historical article that originally appeared in CAMBRIA MAGAZINE. This is The Last Stronghold, on Essays and Articles. It is about Castell-y-Bere, the final bastion of an independent Wales,
