Fourteen-year-old Dymond finds herself the only one in her crew without a boyfriend, until Kyle Banks comes along and she finds herself lying to her mother in order to be with him.

Dyamond in the Rough is a 10 chapter reflective childhood memoir full of poetry, stories, letters and so much more. In this raw, uncut, and transparent work, Dyme Taylor bares her soul. Sharing her truths within each line, she's more than just stanzas on a page. Dyme creates hope and visions of clarity with letters that turn into words and words into sentences that breathe life into the lost. She writes to not only vent but to evoke the dormant emotions that so many women have kept hidden due to traumas that have been unspoken and unresolved. Telling her story will give them the strength to let go of their pain and to seek proper help in order to live their truth and not be ashamed of what they've gone through and/or might still be going through.

Hidden behind the picturesque facade of country lanes and rugged coastlines, quaint villages and busy market towns, the South West counties of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset have witnessed some of the most shocking murder cases in British history. West Country Murders brings together over 30 cases from the authors' previous collections here in one volume. They include stories of those who killed for greed, jealousy and lust, as well as those who committed murder in what a well-known judge once described as 'a gust of passion'. Some of the killers were undoubtedly insane at the time of their crimes; others were almost certainly innocent, yet paid the ultimate price for a murder they did not commit. Some remain unsolved to this day, despite the best efforts of the local constabularies. This book is sure to appeal to all those interested in the shady side of the West Country's history.
