GoldStar Books welcomes all book lovers
If you enjoy a good book we have a range of great stories
written by new authors. We publish the books that major publishers ignored
because we believe aspiring writers deserve a chance to be read.
Our catalogue currently includes epBooks and paperbacks but our
future lies in publishing more paperbacks to meet the continuing demand
for printed books - still the preference of most readers.
Our epBooks are supplied in Adobe PDF format which can either be read on a computer screen or you can print your own
copy on any standard computer printer. See our
news page for more
information.
You can purchase books in our
online bookshop but you can
preview them before you buy. You can even
read an extract if you visit each author's personal page.
Our aim has always been, and always will be, to publish
great fiction written by exciting new authors and we hope you will enjoy
these new stories from GoldStar Books, the imprint of Design
Publications.

The Path to Martyrdom by John Taylor
(UK) |

The Path to Martyrdom is a story about the short life of Anne Askewe, one of the
last heretics to be burned at the stake during the reign of King Henry VIII.
Although her story has been told before this is not just another history book.
John Taylor, a retired headmaster, has portrayed Anne’s life in such a way that
the reader is totally involved with her conflicts and courage, her beliefs and
her relationships. This is Tudor history played in real time - a living history
Anne Askewe was born into a family of wealthy Lincolnshire landowners in
1520. Her father, Sir William Ayscough, was a knight at the court of King
Henry and was largely too preoccupied with royal duties to have great personal
influence on his daughter’s upbringing. Hence she was never particularly close
to him. Under Tudor conventions, women were little more than chattels and, so
long as they followed the preachings of the Roman Catholic Church, they were
raised for the sole purpose of marrying, having children, looking after their
homes and serving their husbands with due humility. As Anne matured into a
young lady, she formed her own opinions about life and she rejected the
Catholic belief of transubstantiation. This was her downfall and she later
paid the ultimate penalty.

Jacob's Journey by Julie Ann Hathway |
| Publisher: |
GoldStar |
ISBN:
1-904976-02-6 |
| Category: |
Fantasy |
Content: No Restrictions |
The old manor house at Maebury has lain empty for almost half a century, its secrets hidden from the world. Within the ruins, the library, largely
undisturbed by the passage of time, holds the key to exciting adventures across time and spatial borders; secrets that can only be unlocked if the house
is once again inhabited by a family with a young child who has the courage and determination to take up the challenge.
Until then, Percy, the elderly gardener who knows all the manor’s secrets, waits patiently, hoping that someone will inherit his powers before he dies.
Then a prospective buyer arrives with his wife and their son - a twelve-year-old called Jacob. Will he be the boy who can fulfil old Percy’s hopes?
