Children's Fiction

Sydney and Marvin: Life Lessons on the Wing

Genre: Children’s Fiction / Picture Book / Family

 Sydney and Marvin: Life Lessons on the Wing is a heartwarming and gently wise children’s story about a young seagull named Sydney who embarks on an adventure with his older, wiser friend Marvin. Set against the sweeping coastlines of northern France, their journey together becomes something far greater than a simple tale of flight — it becomes a story about friendship, patience, self-belief, and the courage it takes to grow at your own pace.

Through Marvin’s quiet wisdom and Sydney’s eager spirit, young readers discover that the most important lessons in life are rarely taught in classrooms. They are learned in the moments we share with the people — and the seagulls — who truly care about us.

A perfect read-aloud for children aged 4 to 8, and a book that parents and grandparents will find themselves returning to long after the children have fallen asleep.

Coming Soon
Coming December 2026

BITTER AND BORDEAUX

A story of diplomacy, divided loyalties, and the quiet courage of those who operate in the spaces between conflict and peace. The Emissary explores what happens when a man of principle is asked to serve an imperfect cause — and what he discovers about himself in the process. A novel of moral complexity, historical texture, and deeply human drama.

Coming December 2026

NOTTINGHAM LACE

Woven from the threads of Nottingham’s rich industrial heritage, Nottingham Lace is a novel about the people who built a city — and the loves, losses, and loyalties that defined them. Part social history, part love story, part portrait of a community, it is a book that celebrates the quiet dignity of working lives and the lasting mark they leave on the world.

Coming December 2027

But Daddy...What is a Jew?

Set among the vineyards and village squares of southwestern France, Bitter and Bordeaux is a light yet layered story of a life reconsidered and a future reimagined. With warmth, wit, and a glass of something excellent, Ronald explores what happens when you stop doing what you have always done — and start doing what you have always wanted.

Coming December 2027

THE EMISSARY

Based on the real daily journal of a teenage Jewish boy living through the German Occupation of Paris, this is a story of identity, survival, and extraordinary courage in impossible circumstances. Ronald has dramatized the events of the journal to bring them to life for a modern readership — creating a work of historical fiction that honours its source while making it vivid, urgent, and deeply moving.

In Development

Brexit Book — Future Title

In 2016, Ronald was considering how the complexities of Brexit could be explained in a way that was both engaging and accessible to a broad audience. He developed the concept of an imagined conversation in which he is seated on a bench along the historic fortress walls of Saint-Malo, discussing Brexit with the renowned French statesman, diplomat, military figure, and author François-René de Chateaubriand.

Through this fictional dialogue, Ronald explores the political, historical, and cultural dimensions of Brexit from both British and European perspectives. This concept should be included within the New Releases section under Brexit.
