 Maria H Blanco 5.0 out of 5 starsDelightful 23 March 2016 - Published on Amazon.com Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase Janet Cameron crafts beautifully developed characters and vivid imagery in this collection of short stories, as she deftly maneuvers readers through gritty textures, to surprise endings, and down the winding bends of memoir. Nearly as much poetry as prose; Cameron's language --alternately sharp and flowing, compassionate or lilting-- spins woolen, nubby and silken yarns that make you yearn for more.

 Robert John Alan Howard 5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating Read 9 May 2019 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase Janet Cameron has a knack for making difficult concepts clear and accessible for everyone. As an engineer, I was drawn to the book when I realised that Ada Lovelace, the brilliant scientist and mathematician was included. I got a lot more than I bargained for. A valuable overview of a great set of women some of them pretty quirky and showing how women progressed and excelled themselves in philosophy . Well done Ms. Cameron. Tres bon!!

 Zoe King 5.0 out of 5 starsA delightful collection 24 May 2016 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase In this delightful collection, Janet Cameron brings us the many vagaries of the human condition; people lost in their own lives, or in the lives of others. The characters come to such life that we feel the author must have met them, or others like them. The same is true of setting. The sea plays a role almost throughout, beautifully captured in its various moods, so much so that I felt a little cheated when we moved to the woods for Zara's story. Overall, the touch is deft, with much going on beneath the surface. If I have reservations, they are that one or two of the pieces would have benefitted from the light touch of an editor, and one or two from a longer treatment. Zara in particular lends itself to a far longer story, the main character (and her premise) is so engaging,and we learn so little of her backstory, that I found myself wanting more!

 Robert John Alan Howard 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing 27 June 2019 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase Wow! What a change from Philosophy, this is a fascinating romp, could hardly put the book down. Began to think this was not written by the same Janet Cameron as previous books, but realised that the background theme of the suppression of women convinced me that it was.

 John Jaksich Clear thinking in confusing times The author informs us how the examined life should be led. Ms. Cameron's well-written prose is a welcome respite from today's headlong rush towards Internet sound-bytes. The book is much needed in these present times--when many seem to feel they know all the answers. All one needs to do is "point-click-lookup" in Google-like fashion----this notion is made amply clear in the author's well-chosen vignettes. The author leads us to a higher ground that would make Socrates proud.

 TITLE: Paranormal Brighton And Hove. AUTHOR: Janet Cameron. PUBLISHER: Amberley Publishing, Cirencester Road Chalford, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6 8PE. PRICE: £12:99. ISBN: 978-1-84868-716-5 Yet another author working out of the stables of Amberley Books. Janet Cameron is a retired lecturer and author of a number of books and short stories and is a member of the Society of Woman’s writers and journalists. In this book Janet covers a wide and varied diversity of supernatural phenomena across Brighton and Hove in East Sussex and because I live in the county of East Sussex there are a number of locations which harbour her ghost stories, some of which, I have personally visited. Janet states that Brighton and Hove (as well as its outlining villages) is claimed to be one of the most haunted areas in Britain (By whom!) There is no denying that this part of the UK is indeed very haunted but whether it beats hands down other counties in the UK is up for debate, nonetheless as statements go maybe that’s a fair one. Janet states that people have been living in this part of the UK for over 4,000 years so there is certainly a lot of spooky history to relate. In her opening chapter Janet asks ‘What Is A Ghost’ is it the build up of residual energy or is it something else? She asks the question, do people just make up ghostly stories. The smugglers of old concocted ghostly stories in an effort to divert people away from their booty and those same stories eventually found themselves entering folklore where some people ended up believing them to be true, when in point of fact most of them, if not all, were not. In chapter two she looks at ghosts and poltergeists in pubs, Inns and bars and boy there are a few. The famous actor Cary Grant is said to haunt the Rottingdean Club. Mr and Mrs Goodchild who owned the club for 18 months stated that Cary’s presence is not scary; it’s more a lovely and warm presence. It never fails to amaze me about some of the ghostly stories you hear, take for instance the ghost that does dishes! I kid you not (you’ll find her on page 37) I was intrigued to read about the ghosts that haunt the lanes and ancient Twittens in Brighton which I personally visited a few years ago. Then there is Brighton’s most haunted house, Preston Manor, a whole catalogue of bizarre occurrences have occurred there some of which center around ghostly children but perhaps the strangest is a wardrobe that causes clothes to develop a cut in diamond pattern! Who says ghostly events are all the same! I found chapter 22 most interesting as it centers around an exorcism that was carried out at Beachy Head by some Spiritualists from Brighton. Beachy Head near Eastbourne is an infamous suicide spot where hundreds of people have jumped to their deaths from the cliffs onto the jagged rocks below this chapter makes for interesting reading. The author then goes on to discuss Witchcraft and ancient magick and my friend White Witch Kevin Carlyon gets a mention when he used his magick spells to try and stop a mobile phone mast going up near the long man of Wilmington. The author then mentions psychic surgeons and miracle healings and also orbs and UFOs, even the subject of Crop Circles in East Sussex get’s a mention as does fortune telling and predictions. So there is a fair deal of subjects covered for the connoisseur of paranormal phenomenon. A very well written and researched book then and one I would highly recommend to the students of the weird and the wonderful, more so if you live in East Sussex. Well done Janet.
