The author has put together a book to help re-live those memories.The reader will find the book will help as they travel back in time to reminisce on their younger days in Holywood & the shops, restaurants & services that were available and a part of their life.

The author was born in Holywood, County Down, and has lived all his life there. For a period of time he worked in the Holywood Cinema and he believes that, since it has now gone but was once a part of the fabric of Holywood, it is worth recording its existence. He decided to write this little book and give readers a short idea of how the cinema operated, its history and his personal experiences. The author takes a brief look at some of the people involved in what was our local cinema and their jobs, as well as what was involved in keeping the films showing.Along with this he has added some other bits of local news, personal memories and changes that have happened over the years in the town, recently and in the past.

Every year thousands of people die from smoking-related diseases throughout the world. The dangers of smoking have been highlighted for many years via television, radio, newspapers etc., but to a lot of people it would not appear to deter them from the habit. However, if you were to speak to a lot of these people you may find that they would stop, if they could. In this book the author looks at the effects that smoking can have, why we start and the methods we use to try to overcome the habit. He gives guidance on how to use mental and visualisation suggestions in order to help stop the habit. The author has trained in the use of visualisation techniques as well as relaxation therapy and is a qualified trainer. is studies have also included smoking cessation, autogenic training, and natural therapeutics. He believes the power of the mind if properly used can make changes within ourselves that can ultimately help us change our thoughts and our future.

The idea of ghosts existing is hard for most people to believe, but there is an accumulation of evidence in that appears to prove otherwise. Until one is actually involved in investigating the subject, an opinion cannot truly be formed one way or the other. The author, who has spent years of studying and investigating the paranormal, has written this book to help those who want to prove that there are ghosts in existence, or even to prove that they do not exist. With years of expertise in the subject, he keeps an open mind when confronted with any potentially paranormal phenomena, and checks everything very carefully before coming to a conclusion. With the help of this book, the paranormal investigator will be able to take steps to discover if there is a ghost haunting a location, who they were in life and why they're haunting that location now, and perhaps provide sufficient evidence to prove the ghost's existence, or that any phenomena experienced have a natural explanation.
