The Book, The Burial, by R. Penman Smith is available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and directly from Tate Publishing. The Burial is a Spiritual Thriller with a dark twist and a redemptive outcome. The story springs out personal experience; ‘write what you know about’. Those who are comfortable with fantasy and are not afraid of the reality of the spiritual warfare inherent in Christian life will love this book.

Imagination is the faculty through which we discover the world around us, both the world we see, and that other unseen world that hovers on the fringe of sight. Love, joy and laughter, poetry and prose, are the gifts through which we approach that complex world. Through the gift of imagination we have stepped into an ever flowing river where the realm of Faerie touches Middle Earth.

No-One in Particular





















He is some say, a decent sort of sinner
He is kind to little children; he doesn’t kick his dog.
But he has no little children; he doesn’t own a dog.
He is some say, a decent sort of sinner.

He is some say, a decent sort of fellow
Kind, compliant, mild, accommodating,
Never rude, never raucous, never prating,
In outward appearance he is sweetly mellow.

But he has no moral compass, he has lost his way.
All light and flash without; all dark within.
Nonetheless he is a decent sort of sinner
Who is never ever late for dinner.

Everywhere he goes everybody loves him.
Everywhere he goes nobody knows him.
