MS Office Word have a large selection of useful templates, as does Powerpoint, but for ease and simplicity there is always the trusty MS Paint, which is default on all Windows notebooks and desktops. I enjoy adding my own preferences, such as orange for the colour!

"All Four Engines Have Failed" by Betty Tootell (1982), who was a passenger on a BA 747 from London to Perth, Australia, when an erupting volcano over Indonesia caused all four engines to grind to a halt. Due to the excellent airmanship of the three cockpit crew, they managed to GLIDE the massive plane for a heart-stopping half-an-hour until the air was clear, then re-start each engine, one by one.

"Absolute Power", by Ian Wishart (2008). A bio of New Zealand's first female prime minister, Helen Clark, who represented the Labour Party from 1999 to 2008.

"The Testament", by John Grisham (1999). Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the United States. He is also eccentric, reclusive and confined to a wheelchair.
