How to Buy and Use an Inversion Table.
I recently purchased an Inversion Table. It came with very comprehensive instructions on assembly but not a word on how to use it, nothing on the benefits and risks involved, not a word about who should and who should not use one. So I spent a great deal of time researching the subject online and compiled this book of simple instructions and warnings.

Coming soon… (hopefully!) A new book from Britain’s worst selling author Joseph R. Mason, (Aka Richard J Kirk)..
After Acts – Paul’s Fourth Missionary Journey.
A pseudo-theological story of Paul’s journey to Spain but with cross-references to actual biblical events. There is much historical evidence to suggest that St. Paul made it to Spain. The book of Acts ends abruptly and only three missionary journeys are recorded. There is however evidence of a fourth, this is the account of Paul’s last missionary journey before he was executed by Nero. This book is to be published in 2024.
I have two other “works in progress”.

WIP 2. I am Ai. A science fiction adventure set in Afghanistan in 2005. Major Tom Mason is seriously injured by an explosion in Badakhshan, close to the Afghan/Pakistan border. He is put back together in a top secret wing of the Plymouth Special Naval Hospital, Derriford by a rogue Ai from a different time zone. He is upgraded and enhanced ready for some very special assignments back in Afghanistan after all UK troops were supposed to have left.
This is a tense thriller as well as science fiction with some gripping, nail-biting moments and a climatic ending.
