Throwing Stones - 'What's in your family album' a play by Christopher John Ball and Dean Sipling. Published by Britannia Street Theatre and Arts Publishing. ISBN-13: 978-0992689902
Published 1st November 2013. To order your copy, via Amazon, click Throwing Stones“Mid-life male photographer meets young, nubile female student-cum-artistic muse - so far it’s old hat. But photographer turned playwright Christopher John Ball and co-writer Dean Sipling, whose background is film and television, bring the pairing into a thoroughly contemporary world of intercepted emails, sinister insinuation and sharp retorts. Their ‘guilty until proved innocent’ plot ... is thoroughly watchable and believable - perhaps as a result of Ball’s professional insights and DS Dom Lucas’ services as police advisor to the production.” Barbara Lewis – The Stage
'Beauty in Every Form' by Richard Savage. Publisher: Black Velvet Seductions. ISBN-13: 978-1936556472
"What is beauty? Is it only for the young and athletic? Are we all judged? And if so just who gets to judge us? It is my belief that beauty is all around us every day, in the faces and bodies of both young and old. I believe it transcends cultures, religions, ethnicity and social status. This book is comprised of the collective thoughts of more than sixty contributors exploring this subject. Some are funny, some serious and some will move you deeply. I hope you will enjoy this book and I hope it will make you think about the nature of beauty."

Naked: Publisher: Feierabend Verlag, Ohg ISBN: 3899851609
The human physique has always been a central theme of the fine arts. Every body possesses its own singular beauty, and a photographer must recognize this unique style in order to express it. The simple bending of a knee or the tilt of a chin brings out new forms and character traits. Arising from the interaction between artful technique as well as a trusting relationship between photographer and model are veritable masterpieces of nude photography. Top contemporary photographers from Europe and America present their excellent art: from elegant to boldly erotic to provocative.
