At this year’s London Book Fair, Explora Books will present Uphill: An Inspirational Story of Suffering, Greed, Carnage, Immense Courage and Gut-determination by Geoffrey Bott—a memoir that reads less like a polished success story and more like a raw account of a life repeatedly pushed to its limits. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 11th Mar 2026 – Based on real experiences, Uphill follows a man who builds a career, loses it, rebuilds his body, and then faces another collapse. What makes the book stand out is not only the string of crises, but the voice that carries the reader through them. Bott writes with a dry, English sense of humor that sits beside scenes of pain, legal battles, broken relationships, and medical setbacks. The contrast creates a tone that is honest rather than dra...

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 11th Mar 2026 – Unlike typical religious texts that rely on dense theology, One God reads like a series of private conversations.
