 ‘Cressida's characters are wonderful’ Sarah Morgan

The most romantic house in Cornwall has got a new owner… 

Journalist Georgie Monroe has watched as it has been transformed into a high-tech glass palace, renovated by a mystery buyer. 

When she’s invited to report on an event there, she comes face to face not only with her first love, architect Ethan Sparks, but also with their complicated past. Finding themselves trapped inside when the house malfunctions, Georgie realises that they — and the house — are still keeping secrets. 

But have Georgie and Ethan left it too late to start again, or can they write the next chapter of their love story together?

‘I thoroughly enjoyed this locked-room romance! Absolutely gorgeous!’ Sam Holland

A Cornish Love Story, By Cressida McLaughlin, Read by Hollie Hales

„Kämpfen“ erzählt von Aufstieg und Absturz, von Erinnerungen an Glanzzeiten und der Frage, wie man weitermacht, wenn alles anders ist als früher. Zwischen Nostalgie, Humor und klarer Ansage zieht sich eine Botschaft durch: Aufstehen, weitermachen, das Leben ist zu schade für Grübelei. Mit gesprochenen Passagen, bissigen Bildern und einem Hook, der hängenbleibt, ist der Song ein Plädoyer für Haltung und Durchhaltewillen – rau, ehrlich und voller Leben.

“Kämpfen” (“Fighting”) tells the story of rise and fall, of memories of brighter days and the question of how to keep going when everything has changed. Mixing nostalgia, humor, and straight talk, one message cuts through: stand tall, move forward – life’s too precious for regret. With spoken-word parts, sharp imagery, and a hook that sticks, the track is a raw, honest anthem about resilience and carrying on.

Kämpfen

Früher warst du wunderschön 
Heute bist du kaum noch zu sehen 
Denkst du
Fällst keinem mehr auf...

Damals im Schwimmbad, weißer Badeanzug
Braun gebrannt
Und dann dieses Lächeln...
Die Kerle sind dir hinterhergerannt

Du warst der Hammer...

Kämpfen, Baby
Einmal schütteln
Dann geht’s weiter
Gehört dazu, soviel ist klar
Auch wenn‘s früher gechillter war:
Weitermachen, fighten
Mach dich gerade
Zum Trauern ist das Leben zu schade

Damals warst du ganz oben auf der Leiter
Big Business, Maßanzüge und so weiter 
Verdammt
Heute sitzt du bei den Enten im Park

Shit...

Riesen Kohle, lässige Schlitten
Parties, Reisen, Senator-Pass
Mal schnell irgendwo die Welt retten
Mann Oh Mann
Was für ein Spaß

Du hattest du es dermaßen drauf...

Kämpfen, Alter
Kurz mal fluchen
Dann geht’s weiter
Ist so, ganz klar
Auch wenn früher alles easy war:
Kopf hoch, fighten
Fang nochmal an
Dein Grübeln zieht dich nur runter, Mann

Aber früher...
Ha
Ich sag‘s Dir
War schon echt cool, das Alles

Macht nix, Baby
Einmal laut schreien und weiter
Kämpfen, fighten - mach dich gerade
Alles Andere wär einfach nur schade

A personal journey finally made into song

From Joy to Sorrow and Back Again

Last Move Café is a quiet reflection at a crossroads—when one more move could mean giving up, or finding the courage to begin again.
Set against a warm folk-rock backdrop with slide guitar, brushed drums and light harmonica accents, it sounds like a secret shared just before sunrise.

Last Move Café ist ein stiller Moment am Scheideweg – wenn der nächste Schritt alles beenden oder der Anfang von etwas Neuem sein kann.
Vor einem warmen Folk-Rock-Hintergrund mit Slide-Gitarre, Besenschlagzeug und feinen Mundharmonika-Akzenten klingt der Song wie ein geteiltes Geheimnis kurz vor Sonnenaufgang.

Last Move Café

They told me once, losing’s just a pause
A quiet shift before the next applause
But I’ve been stuck inside a crooked frame
Counting every wrong, naming every name

The king fell early, I played blind
My own two hands, the reckless kind
But here I am, still holding on
With pieces left, and the clock not gone

The board is still set, the night’s not done
One more move before I run
Forget the fall, remember the stake
Your next move means more than your last mistake

The café hums, the light is low
Outside it’s raining, soft and slow
A stranger watches from the bar
Like she’s been here too, wherever we are

The board is still set, the night’s not done
One more move before I run
Forget the fall, remember the stake
Your next move means more than your last mistake

It’s not about the fall you took
But the way you get back up
Go ahead and reset the play
We’re all just guests at the Last Move Café
So here’s to bruises, here’s to grace
To starting late, not losing face

The board is still set, the night’s not done
One more move before I run
Forget the fall, remember the stake
Your next move means more than your last mistake




Last Move Café

BRO tells stories of failure, loss, and pressure – but never gives in.
„No Surrender“ is a song about rising again and again, even when no one expects it. Exams, heartbreak, broken deals – life throws punches, but the voice behind this song keeps dancing through the storm. Clear, honest, and quietly defiant.

BRO erzählt von Niederlagen, Abschieden und Druck – aber gibt nie auf.
„No Surrender“ ist ein Song über das Aufstehen, wenn keiner mehr damit rechnet. Versiebte Prüfungen, verlorene Liebe, geplatzte Pläne – das Leben haut rein, doch die Stimme in diesem Song tanzt weiter durch den Sturm. Klar, direkt und leise trotzig.

No surrender

I blew my chances on a test or two
Watched the grades slip, they thought I was through
But one red mark don’t write my name
I learned to lose and play the game
Here I am, still walking the line
Missed a few shots, but I’m doing fine

I’m not going down with the storm
Still dancing, no surrender
Through the night until the dawn
I rise up and I remember
Still dancing, no surrender

She closed the door without a sound
The silence shook, it shook the ground
But heartbreak don’t define my way
I took the hit and faced the day
Now I’m still standing on my feet
Lost her love, but kept the beat

I’m not going down with the storm
Still dancing, no surrender
Turn the dark into a song
I’m alive, I remember
Still dancing, no surrender

Some deals went south, some plans went bust
The paper burned, the steel turned rust
But numbers never wrote my song
I keep on rolling, I stay strong
The ground can shake, but I won’t back down
Lost a fight, but I kept my ground

The radio crackled, wires half-dead
A voice came through the static and said…
Even broken mornings carry me
Still dancing, still free

I’m not going down with the storm
Still dancing, no surrender
I rise, I fight, I’m reborn
Still dancing, no surrender


No Surrender

From the bestselling author of PS I Love You comes a story of finding yourself – and finding your way home. 

 Pip’s world is small. But it’s about to become a whole lot bigger.

For years she’s tucked away her dreams, shrinking herself into the space left behind – like the delicate origami she creates alone in her room.

Then hope comes from an unlikely place: an astronomer from the local observatory. He teaches her to look up at the stars, and to see a world far bigger and more beautiful than she ever imagined.

And perhaps in that big, beautiful universe there’s someone waiting for her. If she can find the courage to open her heart.

Pip never stopped dreaming, but now it’s time for her to live – and maybe even to fall in love. 

'A lovely, transportive, deeply felt story. My heart grows a bit bigger each time I read a Cecelia Ahern book' Karin Slaughter

'An immersive, sometimes heartbreaking, yet ultimately uplifting rollercoaster read. Her best yet' Patricia Scanlan

‘A tender, moving story about second chances and the quiet courage it takes to hope again’ Louise O’Neill

Paper Heart, By Cecelia Ahern, Read by Eileen Walsh

 Hi everyone, hopefully all is well. This is an old song I wrote in the 1990's and re-wrote in 2008 and it's about second chances. I believe everyone should have a second chance at everything in life but in love I believe you must think things through very carefully because it they cheat on you once, there's a good chance they'll cheat on you again! You know the old saying "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!"  In my humble opinion, some trusts just cannot be broken and once they are broken there's just no turing back. I was cheated on once in my first marriage and that feeling of being stabbed in the back still hurts to this day. If you can't get along with your partner, divorce them and go your own way afterwards but betrayal is always very devastating and I hope no one ever has to go through something like that. 
    I reworked and tweaked the lyrics a little in 2008 to make them less corny but it's very much like a film script where you can see what the characters are saying to each other, in a sort of back and forth interaction in the dialog, and you can get a sense of the doubt that will now always be there in your heart once you have been betrayed. It's really heartbreaking and "second chances" have to be really thought out and handed out very carefully. I still do however believe in them! (I'm a fool, I know!) You must watch the video, I worked hard on the script!😂
    The song is bittersweat and not a love song but more of a "Beware Of Fake Love" song. It's very country & poppy musically and Charlie did a great job singing it! I wanted it to sound light and easy to balance out the heavy lyrics. There are a couple of  key changes, as well as mood changes, in the song. I was going after that Eagles sound of the early 70's, you know that mellow acoustic vibe but with a little Broadway drama thrown in during the middle 8. It's like if the Eagles and the Carpenters had a baby, it would sound like this!😂

The video is new, I finished it a couple of month's ago. I tried to have the video follow the script as close as possible. I think it turned out okay, who knows?  Well, I hope everyone enjoys it and remember never betray someone that loves you, one day the shoe may just be one the other foot. Peace out! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 

“SECOND CHANCE"

WASN’T IT ME HOW SAID “DON’T GO AWAY?     
BUT YOU DIDN’T CARE, 
YOU SAID YOU’VE GIVEN ALL YOU HAD TO GIVE, 
AND TRUE LOVE WASN’T THERE,
NOW YOU WANT TO COMPROMISE,
SAYING “JUST LET ME EXPLAIN”,
BUT I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOUR LIES AGAIN,

LET ME REFRESH YOUR MEMORY,     
WASN’T IT YOU THAT SAID “GOODBYE”?
YOU SAID YOU COULDN’T LIVE IN YESTERDAY,
AND TEARS WE LEFT BEHIND, 
NOW SOMEHOW YOU’VE MANAGED,
TO CREEP BACK IN MY HEART,
AND WILLING TO GIVE LOVE A BRAND NEW START,

YES I KNOW I’M A FOOL,          
FOR GIVING YOU A SECOND CHANCE,
TO WEAVE A NEW ROMANCE,           
WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF, OH NO!  
EVERY TIME I REMEMBER,
THOSE HAUNTING MEMORIES,
OF HOW WE USED TO BE,        
I PRAY, THAT YOU,

HAVE REALLY CHANGED FOR THE BETTER,     
YOU WON’T BE SEARCHING ANYMORE,       
WE HAVE A CHANCE TO FIND HAPPINESS,     
DON’T SPOIL IT LIKE BEFORE,       
HOPE I CAN ERASE THE DOUBTS,     
THAT STILL BURN WAY DEEP DOWN,    
HOPE I CAN BE SURE THIS TIME AROUND,
  
YES I KNOW I’M A FOOL,          
FOR GIVING YOU A SECOND CHANCE,       
TO WEAVE A NEW ROMANCE,           
WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF, OH NO!           
EVERY TIME I REMEMBER,        
THOSE HAUNTING MEMORIES,        
OF HOW WE USED TO BE,        
I PRAY, THAT YOU,
        
HAVE REALLY CHANGED FOR THE BETTER,     
YOU WON’T BE SEARCHING ANYMORE,      
WE HAVE A CHANCE TO FIND HAPPINESS,     
DON’T SPOIL IT LIKE BEFORE,       
HOPE I CAN ERASE THE DOUBTS,     
THAT STILL BURN WAY DEEP DOWN,    
HOPE I CAN BE SURE THIS TIME AROUND.

"SECOND CHANCE" (Video - https://youtu.be/eRusaqWHK5o)

“Home Is Where the Happy Hits” is a country-pop redemption anthem rooted in scars, survival, and family. The song traces the journey from rock bottom — sleeping in cars and praying the cops don’t look — to the porch light and screen door that represent forgiveness and second chances. With lived-in details like “Daddy’s boots by the back door” and “Mama sets a plate though the food’s long gone,” it captures both the grit of struggle and the grace of coming home. Anchored by its anthemic hook, “Home is where the happy hits,” the lyric balances raw honesty with sing-along uplift, making it a perfect fit for radio, sync, or playlisting.
