Oscar Sparrow announces his new full-length comedy adventure
“My Life in Ladies’ Knickers”
A touching comedy of passion, sucking and pumping.
A shocking story of news and fake news. A tale of heroism and struggle with a literary stalker. A success story – one small man’s push to come off of the bottom.
Oscar Sparrow is a sewage trucker and poet. This is his true story.
Available in print, digital and now also in audio, recorded by the Poet Lorry Park himself!

An hilarious adult novella from the talented Oscar Sparrow.
Discover modern British satire at its best.
When a celebrity ferret goes missing in London, even the Prime Minister gets involved as the nation’s distraught toddlers and their parents demand action. A tender love story, an unfair satire, an exposé of the media-cult whirl in which we live, where news, fake news, and spin are the currencies of coercion.
Here’s a sample from Oscar’s narration, taken from the audio book…
Check out the Amazon page where you can read more and purchase this outrageous story in print, digital, hardback and audiobook editions (narrated by the author himself!).
Following the launch of the ninth ‘Passion Patrol’ novel, ‘Power’, in digital and print formats, it’s now available in audiobook too. Narrated by the talented Rebecca McKernan, this steamy suspense romance story is brought to life in a seven-hour recording. With a worldwide cast including a Scottish heroine and a male love-interest from the USA, the creation of this audiobook could have been a challenge – but the versatile Ms. McKernan provides enigmatic characterisation of all the players in this story.

Gallo-Romano Media is proud to share the news that Emma Calin has added another hot action-packed romance novel to her ‘Seduction Series’. SEDUCTION OF GUILT is the eighth title in this collection and was launched on 15th October 2018.
Our law enforcement four legged friends only ask for love. For us they face any danger out of trust and loyalty. They too have stories…..
Seduction of Guilt introduces widowed female police officer, Helen Marx and her loyal team-mate, Lanza, a specialist German Shepherd explosive detection and patrol dog.
When Lanza takes a terrorist bullet and lies fighting for life, Marco Ambastilias comes to her side. Could his caring soul be for real? A spark becomes a fire as she learns his background as an opera star who abandoned the stage to care for his wayward child. Dare she commit into his life? Can she overcome her guilt at loving another man? Will Lanza ever walk at her side again?
Love and passion thread their unstoppable path through the terrorist-haunted streets of London. Maybe only love and loyalty have the power to defeat evil.
Grab your copy whilst it’s at the bargain launch price, reduced from $4.99 to $0.99 for a limited time. Available in digital formats on all major e-book retailer sites, plus the author’s own direct sales website.
Get some steamy passion onto your e-reader this fall and keep away the winter chill. Meet Shannon Aguerri – street-cop sent to cool her heels in the countryside after one-too-many maverick missions.
Moved out from the city, Shannon discovers there’s more going on in the sleepy country village than meets the eye. The son of a local aristocrat arouses suspicion of drug crime activity… but his widower father arouses more animal instincts!
Could she really mix with the British royal family? Can she risk her heart and career on yet another high risk unauthorised investigation? Can she get justice for an innocent boy? Dare a kid from the gutter dream of being a countess?
Feisty London street cop Shannon Aguerri walks a dangerous line between her methods and justice. When the bosses lose their nerve, she is transferred to green pastures to play out the role of a routine village cop. In Fleetworth-Green she encounters signs of people and drug trafficking and homes in on billionaire criminals.
As a loner she has attracted men but nothing has stuck. When she meets Spencer, the hunky and widowed Earl of Bloxington, there is an immediate rapport between them. Their social differences mean nothing to their passion and need. Already in the mix is an upper class rival who has long plotted her way into the Earl’s bed. The jealousy is an evil shade of green and the anger is a violent scarlet. Will she stoop to blackmail to thwart Shannon and Spencer’s romance?
Often inhibited by a sense of duty and honour, Spencer is slow to reveal his feelings. When Shannon confronts him with the need to choose between her word and that of her rival, he does not immediately support her.
All the same, when they are forced together to carry out a desperate kidnap rescue mission, their love is stronger than everything ranged against them.
Free on Amazon 23rd, 24th and 25th September 2015.
Gallo-Romano Media was one of 18 publishers exhibiting at the recent ‘Salon des Editeurs’ in the beautiful town of Saint Savinien sur Charente, in south west France.
Our colourful display of titles attracted a great deal of attention from local french readers who braved the freezing weather on ‘Mother’s Day’. Many were bemused as to why a British company was on show in deepest rural France. They had not realised their little town was a hotbed of activity for book production on an international scale!
In France book pricing is strictly regulated. Hardback and paperback editions are very expensive and the laws on discounting books put digital versions on sale at more or less the same price as print. There is much scepticism about e-readers and digital books in general. BUT – we still have book shops in France.
There was a lively public ‘debat’ (discussion) in the afternoon – after a most convivial three-course picnic lunch kindly provided by the Mayor! The consensus was that most local folk could not see themselves reading to their grandchildren from a screen. I showed them ‘Alf the Workshop Dog’ on my Kindle Fire – with illustrations and links to video clips and downloadable colouring pictures. All very nice, but they don’t believe it will catch on.
I worry that French culture will lose out in the long run if it is not accessible to the world. Watch out France – your younger generation is already downloading. Older folk may not buy-in to e-readers, but the youth of today are using their smart phones, tablets and online devices to satisfy their entertainment needs. Reading a story is just one small element alongside films, video clips, on-demand TV, gaming and social media that vie for our time. If you’ve got a link to the internet you can read stories from all over the world, regardless of national boundaries. If there is not enough material at reasonable prices in French, there’s nothing to stop readers trying out the millions of books available in English, German etc.
It would be shame if their efforts to protect existing publishing structures resulted in limited world access to their wonderful philosophy, poetry and written arts, from which we can all learn so much.
Just in time for Christmas, the full set of modern fairy tale adventure stories for kids the ONCE UPON A NOW SERIES by Emma Calin is out in print, eBook and audio book.

Finally, a modern story of young lad facing family changes and learning how to stand up for himself in a difficult new environment in Kool Kid Kruncha and The High Trapeze.
The print and eBook versions are full of illustrations by talented artist Miko Abellera, from the Philippines. His anime style captures the key moments from the stories, his unique interpretations get close up and often inside the action and adventure.
The author has also created free bonus materials to enhance the reading experience. Throughout the book are live links (and scannable QR codes in the printed version) to audio, video and downloadable pictures for colouring or printing, creating a fully interactive reading experience.
Oscar Sparrow, the talented narrator of the audio books, brings the characters to life and even sings the Zanubian National Anthem in Alf The Workshop Dog as well as taking Frankie Ferret for a daring cycle ride in a video embedded in Isabella’s Pink Bicycle.

Well it’s finally here – the FREEZE FRAME international poetry anthology has been re-mastered and is now on sale on Amazon, iTunes and Audible.
The brainchild of the poet Oscar Sparrow, he invited 5 other poets from around the world to write a collection of poems that would ‘freeze the frame’ on our bustling lives. In addition to their written words, each poet recorded a performance of each poem. To complete the project, a talented young pianist composed a theme for the anthology with individual motifs for each poet.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to hear works read aloud by these poets, in their own inimitable styles that really bring the poetry to life.
If you would like to get this audio book for FREE here are two suggestions ( you could do both of course!):
