Global Cooling
In 2029, Earth is facing a major climate catastrophe. An asteroid strike blankets the globe in dust and ash, blocking out the sunlight. Soon temperatures begin to fall.
As weather conditions worsen, the residents of a small market town in Southern England must make a decision – flee south or wait for the worst to pass. Choosing to stay, D.I. Hannah Benson soon has more to worry about than keeping law and order. With power supplies failing and food scarce, survival itself is at stake as those with darker motives seek to take advantage of the situation.
At Gatwick airport, Charlie Adams and his heavily pregnant wife, Kaylee, discover that all planes are grounded. Desperate to escape to mainland Europe, they travel to the coast to find a way to cross the Channel. Meanwhile, time-travel expert Josh Gardner may have found another way out. He and his partner, Alice, head for Cornwall to investigate the possible existence of a new Time Bubble, but their travel plans are also disrupted by the deepening winter.
Global Cooling is the second part of a trilogy which began with The Time Bubble. Set a decade after the main events of the first book, this story picks up the lives of the main characters as they reach their late twenties.
The trilogy concludes with the final volume, Man Out Of Time.

Fortysomething Father
Jason Ayres is a father, a DJ, a junk food addict, a karaoke presenter, a wannabe writer and more.
Fatherhood arrived unexpectedly for him in his late thirties. In the space of five years he went from suited-and-booted Account Director with a big global company, to stay-at-home Dad and mobile DJ.
With time on his hands in-between karaoke nights and nappy changes, he began to keep a diary about his experiences. The end result is this collection of anecdotes about all of the topics above and more.
From trying to track down the perfect buffet, to the pitfalls of shopping in Tesco, days out with the kids, and writing to Walkers Crisps with new suggestions for their product ranges, the chapters are many and varied.
This book was the first of two volumes of the Stay At Home Dad Diaries. The second, "Austerity Dad", was launched in 2013. Jason then continued his diaries via a weekly column in the Oxford Mail.

Austerity Dad
In this swashbuckling sequel to Fortysomething Father, Jason Ayres regales us with another year of random musings on his life as a stay-at-home dad and more.
Along the way he offers lots of money-saving tips for the family on a budget. These vary from the reasonably sensible (don't be conned into pre-booking aeroplane seats) to those you probably shouldn't try at home (DIY dentistry and cheese grater pedicures).
As always, the challenges of stay-at-home parenting are never far away. Taking kids on holiday, fussy eating, and the joys of nappies are among the many topics discussed. The writer's obsession with junk food also continues unabated. From misty-eyed reminiscences about the glory days of the Little Chef, to dreaming up strange new ideas for pizza toppings, there's plenty of food for thought.

About the author
Jason Ayres began his writing career at Primary School in 1979 with a 94 chapter epic space adventure. It featured the exploits of Captain Jason who bore more than a passing resemblance to a famous starship captain of the era. Sadly, the plot was just getting going when his teacher firmly suggested that he try writing about something else.
Never one to let the creative sap rest for long, by the mid 1980's he was furiously scribbling down plays in "spare" exercise books liberated from the stationery cupboard. These plays starred his classmates and girls he fancied in a number of outrageous and libellous scenarios. The plays have now been placed securely under lock and key with strict instructions never to release them to the general public.
Unfortunately his budding aspirations as a writer were somewhat stifled in his twenties by an ill-advised fifteen year career in the Market Research industry. At this time, writing opportunities were somewhat limited by having to go to work every day. However he still found time to write numerous letters to various manufacturers advising them on their product ranges. He also produced many spoof newsletters for the countless activities that a social life based around the pub entailed.
Eventually he left the world of sales figures behind to become a stay-at-home dad, giving him a whole new source of material to write about. His first two humorous parenting diaries, "Fortysomething Father" and "Austerity Dad", were published in 2013. This was followed in 2014 by a third book, “The Sausage Man”, recording his adventures in the world of sausages. He also continued writing about his parenting experiences via a weekly column in the Oxford Mail.
In the summer of 2014 Jason released his first novel, "The Time Bubble", which was a huge hit both in the UK and the US, achieving the coveted #1 spot in the YA Time Travel category. The sequel, "Global Cooling" followed in November, followed by “Man Out Of Time” in September 2015, completing the trilogy.
In March 2015, he released his latest time travel epic, "My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday". This story of a man living his life backwards, one day at a time, is set in Oxford between the years 2025 and 1970, and is ideal material for a film, according to the author!
