Dr Richard Sugg was featured in Psychology Today, in which he offers fascinating suggestions about the mysterious behaviour of long distance homing by dogs, how they might do it and why.

“I’m now firmly convinced that emotion is the key to the mystery of these astonishing journeys. Perhaps most astonishing of all are the journeys where a dog finds their person or family in a completely new place: Irish terrier Prince walking from London to Armentieres in France to find Private James Brown in 1914, or the spaniel named Joker in World War Two. When his owner Stanley Raye was posted from Pittsburg, California to an island in the Pacific, Joker walked 30 miles to Oakland harbour, got onto a boat, and then ignored numerous island stops until he found the one where Raye had been sent.”

Jake Donoghue was interviewed on Talk Radio Europe with Giles Brown to discuss his explosive book Crypto Confidential: An Insider’s Account from the Frontlines of Fraud.

The audio book is also out now.

Sitting between the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland, the North Pennines are often overlooked by travellers, so Travel writer Daniel Stables explores why you should make the effort to explore England’s rugged watershed for National Geographic Magazine. He also penned a piece for The Independent about why East Anglia is among the best regions to visit in 2025.

His debut book Fiesta, will be published next year.

A huge response greeted Jake Donoghue‘s debut book Crypto Confidential (Flint Books), which published on August 22.

Reviews, podcasts and features ran in Disruption Banking, American Banker, and DL News, with more on the way in September.

Former IMF Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard says: “A brilliant and fascinating description of crypto. It makes painfully clear that, on the buying side, there is no limit to human credulity, and the faith in magic returns. And, on the selling side, no limit to hubris, deception and scamming. Read the book, and cry.”

Henry R. Schlesinger, author of Honey Trapped (The History Press) wrote an article for AirMail this month, entitled The New York Yacht Club Goes to War.

During World War I, the lavish yachts of New York’s richest families—replete with Tiffany interiors and pipe organs—were commandeered into hunting German submarines.

Stay tuned for more news about Henry’s upcoming project soon.
