The Art of Successful Business Communication

Retirement is a time of opportunity. Without the routine demands of working life, new ambitions can be realized and experiences enjoyed. Yet with so much to consider, people are often unsure how best to plan for their future. Furthermore, with rising retirement ages, the closure of many final salary pension schemes, poor annuity rates and uncertainty regarding universal benefits, the scope for concern and confusion is even greater. The Good Retirement Guide is essential reading for all those looking forward to making the most of their retirement, and offers clear and concise suggestions and advice on a broad range of retirement-related subjects, including finance (investments, pensions, annuities, benefits and tax), housing, health, holidays, starting a business and looking after elderly parents.

The Good Retirement Guide 2013

Micka loves drawing and wants a pup, but with older brothers into violence and petty crime, and a mother who can?t read the notes his teacher sends home from school, neither he nor the pup stand much of a chance. Then a new boy, Laurie, starts at Micka's school. The two boys both have vivid imaginations, but Laurie's fantasies are of magic and revenge, and he soon pulls Micka into a dangerous game where the line between make-believe and real life -- and, ultimately, death -- is increasingly blurred. Written in direct, uncompromising yet compassionate prose, and with a breathtaking clarity of insight, Micka is an astonishingly assured debut -- and an unforgettable story. 'Micka feels like a book that wrote itself . . . Frances Kay is an accomplished story teller who has found her darkest tale' Anne Enright 'I read this at a single sitting. Once started it was impossible to put aside . . . Atomising and searing, MICKA is a remarkable first novel' Carlo Gbler
