CLOUDS are now acknowledged as having a major influence on what became of music in the 1970s. Yet the band disappeared without trace in history, only to surface decades later, in circumstances that Mojo Magazine described as "Archaeology" .The man behind it all, Billy Ritchie, somehow vanished from the radar and from the music business completely, going out with a bang, refusing interviews or contact with anything to do with it - Until now.In typically forthright fashion, he tells his true story, without fear or favour, naming names and shaming those who took his legacy, but also giving credit to those who lived true to their own spirit.  

BEYOND GOLD there is only grey is the story of a fraud on a massive scale, involving credit cards, property and banking. As the recent Banking crisis shows, the World is vulnerable to these forces that surround us, using the instant responses of the internet to destabilise the whole system, and through it, us. The governments of the World explained it all away as just market forces, but then, they would say that, wouldn't they? In reality, as shocking as it was, one man orchestrated our downfall. Despite the authorities' best efforts to stem the tide, the threat grows until it reaches the very heart of Governments all over the World. We see into the mind of the man whose apocalyptic plans threaten our way of life, as he negotiates his way through the pursuing pack of investigators, led by one man whose mission is to seek and destroy all that he stands for. We get behind the thoughts and motives of the two principal protagonists as they struggle for the financial future of the World.

She was getting ready for bed, sitting at her dressing table in the half light. Softly, she hummed a tune to herself as she brushed her long hair, her slender fingers carefully gathering the strands of golden tresses containing just a hint of subtle red. Distractedly, she fiddled with her earring, trying to loosen it so she could place it on the table surface. She glanced up at the mirror. It was then she saw the face. Impossibly high above her shoulder, looking down on her at an odd angle, a face that was almost not human, unformed, transparent, malevolent. The expression on the face was cold, analytical, studying her like a specimen in a glass case, the hard cold eyes bored into her own. Not unnaturally, she screamed and fainted and fell to the floor.
