Series: Cape Cod Creamery (2)

Escape to Cape Cod—where you just might find the secret to happiness

Callie Dixon had the world by its tail... until it all slipped away. Fired from her dream job after making a colossal mistake, she's escaped to her aunt's home on Cape Cod for time to bounce back. Except it isn't a home, it's an ice cream shop. And time isn't going to help, because Callie's bounce has up and left. There's a reason she made that mistake at work and she's struggling to come to terms with it.

Things go from bad to worse when Callie's cousin Dawn drags her to a community class about the secret to happiness. Happiness is the last thing Callie wants to think about right now, but instructor Bruno Bianco—a curiously gloomy fellow—is relentless. He has a way of turning Callie's thoughts upside down. Her feelings, too.

Could Bruno be right when he says that hitting rock bottom is the very best place to be? If so, how is that supposed to help her find exactly what—or who—has been missing all along?

A surprise inheritance. A cache of family secrets. A choice that will change her life forever.

Lillian Doyle has lived her entire high-society life with her widowed mother, believing her father died long ago. But when news arrives that her estranged father only recently passed away—in jail—Lillian is startled to find that the man has left a business and all of his possessions to her, making her a rather unusual heiress.

When she goes to take possession of her father's house in a backwoods Georgia town, the dilapidated structure is already occupied by another woman who claims it was promised to her son, Jonah. In her attempts to untangle the mess, Lillian will discover not only a family she never knew she had but a family business that is more than meets the eye—and has put a target on her back.

To discover the truth and take hold of the independence she's always dreamed of, she'll have to make friends with adversaries and strangers—especially Jonah, the dusty and unrefined cowboy who has secret aspirations of his own.

Inspired by true stories, The Long March Home is a gripping coming-of-age tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of unrelenting hope from two New York Times bestselling authors

Jimmy Propfield joined the army for two reasons: to get out of Mobile, Alabama, with his best friends Hank and Billy and to forget his high school sweetheart, Claire.

Life in the Philippines seems like paradise--until the morning of December 8, 1941, when news comes from Manila: the Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor. Within hours, the teenage friends are plunged into war as Japanese warplanes attack Luzon, beginning a battle for control of the Pacific Theater that will culminate with a last stand on the Bataan Peninsula and end with the largest surrender of American troops in history.

What follows will become known as one of the worst atrocities in modern warfare: the Bataan Death March. With no hope of rescue, the three friends vow to make it back home together. But the ordeal is only the beginning of their nearly four-year fight to survive.

Inspired by true stories, The Long March Home is a gripping coming-of-age tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of unrelenting hope.

It's finally time for Charles Ignatius Sancho to tell his story, one that begins on a slave ship in the Atlantic and ends at the very center of London life... A lush and immersive tale of adventure, artistry, romance, and freedom set in eighteenth-century England and based on a true story.

It's 1746 and Georgian London is not a safe place for a young Black man. Charles Ignatius Sancho must dodge slave catchers and worse, and his main ally—a kindly duke who taught him to write—is dying. Sancho is desperate and utterly alone. So how does the same Charles Ignatius Sancho meet the king, write and play highly acclaimed music, become the first Black person to vote in Britain, and lead the fight to end slavery? Through every moment of this rich, exuberant tale, Sancho forges ahead to see how much he can achieve in one short life: "I had little right to live, born on a slave ship where my parents both died. But I survived, and indeed, you might say I did more."

If all the world's a stage, Jacci will play her part.

She only hopes her story does not turn out to be a tragedy.

In 1881, Jacci Reed is only five years old when a man attempts to kidnap her from the steamboat her mother, Irena, works on. Badly wounded during the confrontation, Irena takes Jacci aboard the Kingston Floating Palace, a showboat tied up beside them. There, Jacci's actor grandfather tends to her mother and Jacci gets a first taste of the life she will come to lead.

Fifteen years later, Jacci is an actress aboard the Kingston Floating Palace, and largely contented with her adopted family of actors, singers, and dancers. Especially Gabe, who has always supported her, and the gruff grandfather she has come to know and love. Jacci's mother has been gone for years, but the memory of the altercation that ultimately took her life—and the cryptic things Jacci has overheard about her past—is always there, lurking in the back of her mind.

When someone on the showboat tries to kill Jacci, it's clear her questions demand answers. But secrets have a way of staying in the shadows, and the answers she craves will not come easily. Gabe only hopes they come in time for him and Jacci to have a future together.

Operating Instructions meets Glennon Doyle in this new book by famed NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly that is destined to become a classic--about the year before her son goes to college--and the joys, losses and surprises that happen along the way.

The time for do-overs is over.

Ever since she became a parent, Mary Louise Kelly has said "next year." Next year will be the year she makes it to her son James's soccer games (which are on weekdays at 4 p.m., right when she is on the air on NPR's All Things Considered, talking to millions of listeners). Drive carpool for her son Alexander? Not if she wants to do that story about Ukraine and interview the secretary of state. Like millions of parents who wrestle with raising children while pursuing a career, she has never been cavalier about these decisions. The bargain she has always made with herself is this: this time I'll get on the plane, and next year I'll find a way to be there for the mom stuff.

Well, James and Alexander are now seventeen and fifteen, and a realization has overtaken Mary Louise: her older son will be leaving soon for college. There used to be years to make good on her promises; now, there are months, weeks, minutes. And with the devastating death of her beloved father, Mary Louise is facing act three of her life head-on.

Mary Louise is coming to grips with the reality every parent faces. Childhood has a definite expiration date. You have only so many years with your kids before they leave your house to build their own lives. It's what every parent is supposed to want, what they raise their children to do. But it is bittersweet. Mary Louise is also dealing with the realities of having aging parents. This pivotal time brings with it the enormous questions of what you did right and what you did wrong.

This chronicle of her eldest child's final year at home, of losing her father, as well as other curve balls thrown at her, is not a definitive answer―not for herself and certainly not for any other parent. But her questions, her issues, will resonate with every parent. And, yes, especially with mothers, who are judged more harshly by society and, more important, judge themselves more harshly. What would she do if she had to decide all over again?

Mary Louise's thoughts as she faces the coming year will speak to anyone who has ever cared about a child or a parent. It. Goes. So. Fast. is honest, funny, poignant, revelatory, and immensely relatable.

How do you fight the Nazis right under their noses? With cunning and courage.

When the Germans invade the Netherlands, Leiden University student Hetty's boyfriend goes missing. But she has little time to grieve when she volunteers as a courier for the Dutch resistance, joined by her roommate, the beautiful Mimi, and seventeen-year-old Maria, the daughter of a slain resistance fighter. At great personal risk, the three women carry documents, secret messages, and cash to protect Jews, downed pilots, and others hiding from the Nazis.

During five years of war, Hetty is challenged by a gauntlet of spies and betrayal. She heroically fights back as she and her friends accept increasingly dangerous assignments. All the while, Hetty worries about her family. She tries to forbid her younger brother from volunteering for combat in the resistance and argues with her father about becoming too cozy with the Nazis.

As the Gestapo closes in, can Hetty and her family and friends make it through the war, free to live and love again?

Inspired by true events, Robert Loewen's debut novel pays tribute to the heroism of his mother-in-law, who served as a courier in the Dutch resistance during World War II.

American book award-winning author Tananarive Due's second collection of stories range from horror to science fiction to suspense. From the mysterious, magical town of Gracetown to the aftermath of a pandemic to the reaches of the far future, Due's stories all share a sense of dread and fear balanced with heart and hope.

In some of these stories, the monster is racism itself; others address the monster within, or other universal struggles set against the supernatural or surreal. All of them are written with Due's trademark attention to detail and deep characterization.

In addition to previously published work, this collection contains brand-new stories, including "Rumpus Room," a supernatural horror novelette set in Florida about a woman's struggle against both outer and inner demons.

"Holy hell: These 14 stories from author and film historian Due might scare even the most dauntless horror fans to death. These tales of fright are both intellectually keen and psychologically bloodcurdling, no surprise from an award-winning writer whose command of the Black horror aesthetic rivals Jordan Peele's in originality and sheer bravado... The hairbreadth between acute tragedy and the blackest of humor are child’s play for the author in 'Haint in the Window,' which masterfully nods to Octavia E. Butler in the story of a bookseller facing elements out of his control. The five tales in The Gracetown Stories give a sense of Stephen King's fictional Derry or Jerusalem's Lot... A patchwork of stories that somehow manages to be both graceful and alarming, putting fresh eyes to the unspeakable."—Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review

Series: Fog Harbor Romance (1)

Three friends. Two broken promises. One missing manuscript.

As a senior acquisitions editor for Fog Harbor Books in San Francisco, Ingrid Erikson has rejected many a manuscript for lack of defined conflict and dramatic irony--two elements her current life possesses in spades. In the months following the death of her childhood best friend and international bestselling author Cece Campbell, Ingrid has not only lost her ability to escape into fiction due to a rare trauma response, but she's also desperate to find the closure she is convinced will come with Cece's missing final manuscript.

After an editorial meeting jeopardizes Ingrid's career, she fears her future will remain irrevocably broken. But when Joel Campbell—who shattered her belief in happily-ever-afters—offers her a sealed envelope from Cece, his late cousin, asking them to put their differences aside and retrieve a package in their coastal Washington hometown, Ingrid must confront a past riddled with secrets before she can discover the true healing she's been searching for.

The acclaimed author of Before I Called You Mine and All That Really Matters delivers a poignant and intriguing contemporary tale of friendship, forgiveness, and a love that goes beyond the page.

A compelling reckoning with the birth of women's health that illuminates the sacrifices of a young woman who changed the world only to be forgotten by it—until now

For more than a century, Dr. J. Marion Sims was hailed as the "father of modern gynecology." He founded a hospital in New York City and had a profitable career treating gentry and royalty in Europe, becoming one of the world's first celebrity surgeons. Statues were built in his honor, but he wasn't the hero he had made himself appear to be.

Sims's greatest medical claim was the result of several years of experimental surgeries—without anesthesia—on a young enslaved woman known as Anarcha; his so-called cure for obstetric fistula forever altered the path of women's health.

One medical text after another hailed Anarcha as the embodiment of the pivotal role that Sims played in the history of surgery. Decades later, a groundswell of women objecting to Sims's legacy celebrated Anarcha as the "mother of gynecology." Little was known about the woman herself. The written record would have us believe Anarcha disappeared; she did not.

Through tenacious research, J. C. Hallman has unearthed the first evidence of Anarcha's life that did not come from Sims's suspect reports. Hallman reveals that after helping to spark a patient-centered model of care that continues to improve women's lives today, Anarcha lived on as a midwife, nurse, and "doctor woman."

Say Anarcha excavates history, deconstructing the biographical smoke screen of a surgeon who has falsely been enshrined as a medical pioneer and bringing forth a heroic Black woman to her rightful place at the center of the creation story of modern women's health care.

Join one boy's quest to build the ultimate tree house in this imaginative picture book about the good things we might be missing in our never-ending pursuit of "better."

Domino's backyard isn't enough for him, so he builds a tree house. When the tree house isn't quite enough, he builds a tree cottage, then a tree mansion, and on and on, pursuing something "more"—something that he can't put his finger on and can't quite reach. In a series of escalating feats of tree-house engineering, Domino builds and builds, until he finds himself alone on the moon, still not satisfied.

Gorgeous illustrations of a gravity-defying tree house will capture little ones' imaginations, while the satisfying conclusion will remind young readers that wanting more might cause us to miss the sweetness of what we already possess.

Robert Lui, a detective with the Vancouver Police Department, has left the Gang Taskforce to return to the duller but supposedly safer work of the Major Crimes Unit. Assigned to the benign west side of Vancouver, he didn’t expect to be breaking up fights between developers or finding body parts in the ponds of local horticultural attractions. Nor did he expect to be entangled in a revenge drama playing itself out across the city’s southside.

Motives are hard to fathom, and victims have nothing in common, leaving Robert’s small team perplexed. They are also learning to be wary if they ever scrape up enough money to enter the housing market. On the plus side, they are spending time in one of the nicer environments on offer in the city, even if circumstances might be deadly.

Content Warning: This is a revenge thriller, and contains several scenes of violence, including harm to a dog, murders, and a suicide.

Her own suicide attempt is in the past, and living in San Francisco with her beloved aunt has helped her see a future for herself.

But when Aunt Fran is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Del's equilibrium is shattered. She's dedicated herself to saving every life she can, but she can't save Fran.

When Rollie Birch returns home from the Great War in 1919 with a cluster of medals, he feels as if he’s landed in the wrong country. His wife has died, leaving behind an infant daughter born while he was overseas. His small logging town of Lumberton, Washington, has grown but still runs on gossip. Almost overnight, Rollie the hero becomes a pariah for his scandalous decision to raise his daughter by himself—a child rumored not to be his—and for refusing to talk about his wartime exploits.

The past two years have changed Kay Sorensen as well. Daughter of the Lumberton timber baron, Kay spent the war working for her father, organizing patriotic and charitable efforts, and discovering her love for politics and business. But when her husband—Rollie’s former platoon commander—returns, Kay expects, correctly, that he’ll make her quit her job. She’s dreamed of marriage as an equal partnership; now, she chafes under her husband’s cold tyranny. Did the war change him?

Rollie might know, and Kay steels herself to beg information from a man her husband has publicly insulted. But neither Kay nor Rollie can anticipate how secrets, lies, and horrifying revelations may destroy them. Do two lonely, passionate rebels have the moral courage to stand up to gossip, defy cultural boundaries, and dare reinvent themselves in a world forever changed?

Born in 1938 into a family of Hungarian Székely nobility, John's life was neither privileged nor wealthy. He was an infant when his family was reduced to poverty by an accidental fire that destroyed the paper-money wealth of an entire community. Shortly after, in accordance with an international treaty, his tribe were relocated to an area in Yugoslavia that is currently part of Serbia, a location that soon proved to be just another temporary home.

Six years old and already twice a refugee, he faced the most physically and emotionally demanding of his family’s moves to another hoped-for permanent home, a journey on foot that was to take more than seven months while World War II raged around them, often sharing the road with retreating or advancing troops and watching aerial dogfights between German and American aircraft overhead. At each and every one of these territorial relocations, John’s family were participating witnesses in the transnational power shifts that determined where and how they would live.

From the ages of eight to nineteen, John was a participating witness in the Communist experiment, as Hungary’s Russian liberators became their totalitarian masters. He remembers the hardships of being a farm family forced into the collective by high taxes and the ever-present fear of even whispering disapproval of the government. He obeyed the advice of the kind collective farm chairman who had recruited him to oversee a recreation program for the collective’s young people: "This is the world we live in. Let’s make the best of it."

In 1956, after briefly participating in that year’s unsuccessful revolution against the Communist government, he fled Hungary, only to suffer hunger, deprivation and sometimes abuse in refugee camps before finding his way to Australia, his final refuge.

Throughout history, the lives of ordinary citizens have fallen victim to tyrants addicted to the intoxicating power of territorial expansion. The voices of those who have lived these historic moments at grass roots are history’s only hope to inch closer to the truth. Lukacs John Varda is one of those voices.

Letters from beyond the grave and a green velvet dress reveal a secret to Yardley's beloved grandmother; for fans of The Parker Inheritance and The List of Things That Will Not Change and ages 10 and up.

It's always hard to lose a friend, but for Yardley O'Hanlon it's devastating. Her best friend is her wild and wonderful grandmother Gidge. They're two fashionable peas in a quirky little pod. They spend all their time together sewing and crafting and creating beautiful things—until Gidge dies, and Yardley loses her for good.

Or does she?

Yardley isn't convinced. Gidge was a big believer in reincarnation. She promised she'd never leave Yardley, and Gidge always kept her promises. So when a stylish older woman walks into the Over Easy Vintage Emporium where Yardley is helping out, Yardley is sure it's her grandmother, back from the dead. But her happiness doesn't last long, as the woman runs away in terror and no one else believes she was Gidge reincarnated. It's only with the help of a beautiful green velvet dress, a series of letters from "the other side" and an irritating twelve-year-old buttinsky named Harris that Yardley discovers there's more to the mystery woman—and Gidge—than she ever imagined.

Series: Akashic Noir

Austin joins Dallas and Houston in Akashic's deep dive into the Lone Star State's darkest dimensions

Featuring brand-new stories by: Gabino Iglesias, Ace Atkins, Amanda Moore, Jeff Abbott, Scott Montgomery, Richard Z. Santos, Alexandra Burt, Lee Thomas, Miriam Kuznets, Jacob Grovey, Chaitali Sen, Molly Odintz, Amy Gentry, and Andrew Hilbert.

From the editors' introduction: "You've probably heard of Austin. You may have been here for South by Southwest. Your best friend may have recently relocated here from California. You might have thought about moving here yourself, then decided it wasn't worth it to live in Texas. You may have moved to Austin decades ago. You may even have been born and raised in Austin, and now you're on the outskirts of San Antonio or (god forbid) Waco because you can't afford to buy a house anywhere else. Or you may be living in a shiny new building downtown, watching the final stages of a sleepy town's transformation into modern metropolis. One thing you'll hear from almost any Austin resident: it was better when they got here...

"As the city expands, construction never stops, struggling futilely to keep up with new demand. The running joke is that the city bird is the crane. Rents and property values keep climbing. We fear becoming Dallas... The writers contributing to this collection represent a kaleidoscopic view of the city—not just in where they set the stories, but in their different social, economic, and cultural perspectives."

In an era in which "resistance" has become tokenized, popular Indigenous author Kaitlin B. Curtice reclaims it as a basic human calling. Resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors' holistic flourishing. We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together.

Curtice shows that we can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors. She explores four "realms of resistance"—the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral--and shows how these realms overlap and why all are needed for our liberation. Readers will be empowered to seek wholeness in whatever spheres of influence they inhabit.

What if we viewed reading as not just a personal hobby or a pleasurable indulgence but as a spiritual practice that deepens our faith? In Reading for the Love of God, award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson does just that—and then shows readers how to reap the spiritual benefits of reading. She argues that the simple act of reading can help us learn to pray well, love our neighbor, be contemplative, practice humility, and disentangle ourselves from contemporary idols.

André Simon Food and Drink Book Award Longlist

"This is the story of how wine brought me back from the dead."

Thus begins Adam McHugh's transition through the ending of one career--as a hospice chaplain and grief counselor--into the discovery of a new life in wine among the grapevines of the Santa Ynez Valley of California.

"This is the corkscrewing tale of how I got to Santa Ynez, eventually, and the questions that came up along the way," he continues. "You and I are going to take a long wine tour together on our way there, and we will make plenty of stops for a glass and some local wine history. As you will see, I reached into the old, old story of wine in order to find my new story, which begins, as so many wine love stories do, in the French countryside. Most stories about religion and drink are stories of recovery. I'm not sure if mine isn't a story about recovery too."

Adam's story is one of being forced to reevaluate and remake his life when things fell apart. But more than that, it's a story about finding healing through the good gifts of wine, friends, and the beauty of wine country. Pour a glass and join the adventure from the south of France to Champagne to the California Central Coast.

In a small rural town in central Pennsylvania, young Susie is facing trauma as the middle child in a violent and chaotic household. Her brilliant, alcoholic, astrophysicist father and equally ingenious mentally ill, homemaking mother have collided in dysfunction. Creating five children in short succession covert and overt abuse is running rampant. Hurt, and damaged children, are raising more hurt and damaged children.

A riveting and intense chronicle of a childhood filled with harsh initiations all lead to masterful and thought-provoking transformation. The ebullient belief and determination of a young girl with a vision who would not bend to self-destruct but rather would convert her experience to triumph are told masterfully in this stunning work.

Like a breath of fresh air, with an energetic fortitude close to unparalleled, Susan refuses to fit the everyday norm of looking to follow like a lemming. She’s traversing and hurdling her way up, and over traditional splintering systems. She’s meeting com- petition and jealousy with kindness while soaring to thrive. In recovery from addiction, Susan shows us how she leans into her energetic strength as an empath to heal and move forward while unknowingly healing others along the way.

Once the journey is complete for this opus, Susan leaves us with support and some of the practical tools she used and uses today to move forward. The appendix is an experiential workbook matching each chapter of the book, with interactional tools centered around each section’s theme. Breathwork, journaling, meditation, move- ment, and the voice all combine in creative healing processes.

In our frenzied culture, the possibility of living in balanced rhythms of work and rest often feels elusive. This rings especially true for pastors and leaders who carry the weight of nonstop responsibility. Most know they need rest but might be surprised to find within themselves a deep resistance to letting go and resting in God one day a week, let alone for longer seasons of sabbatical.

The journey to a meaningful sabbath practice is slow and gradual, and it is a journey we need to take in community. Sharing her own story of practicing sabbath for the past twenty years, Ruth Haley Barton offers hard-won wisdom regarding the rhythms of sabbath, exploring both weekly sabbath keeping as well as extended periods of sabbatical time.

Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest grounds us in God's intentions in giving us the gift of sabbath, providing practical steps for embedding sabbath rhythms in churches and organizations. Each chapter concludes with "What Your Soul Wants to Say to God," an opportunity to reflect and engage God around your own journey with the material. Sabbath is more than a practice--it is a way of life ordered around God's invitation to regular rhythms of work, rest, and replenishment that will sustain us for the long haul of life in leadership.

Includes a conversation guide for small groups and communities.

This lyrical middle-grade historical novel set during the Great Depression by award-winning author L. M. Elliott is a moving tale of the spirit of American persistence, found family, and the magical partnership between girl and horse.

Bea wakes to Daddy's note in a hayloft, where he abandoned her with her little sister after the stock market crash took everything: Daddy's job at the bank, their home, Mama's health, and life.

How is Bea supposed to convince the imposing Mrs. Scott to take in two stray children? Mrs. Scott's money and Virginia farm are drying up in a drought and the Great Depression, too. She might have to sell her beautiful horses, starting with a dangerous chestnut that has caused tragedy in the past and injures her stableman shortly after Bea arrives.

But wrestling with her own hurts and fears, Bea understands the chestnut's skittish distrust. She sees hope in the powerful jumper—if he can compete at horse shows, they might save the farm, and maybe Bea can even win a place in Mrs. Scott's heart.

Series: The Sentinels (4)

"The Voices Behind the Curtain is a solidly written and edited novel featuring an engaging cast of characters that will appeal to many interested in the historical, political, and economic events that shaped the world in the years – after World War II." ~ The Foreword

Can the world be rescued by a financial expert? Does the world even know it needs to be saved from what lurks behind the curtain? The Sentinels are back with a new installment. The post-World War II military-industrial complex is explored in Zuckerman’s action-filled globe-trotting thriller. It’s a book of principles vs. power, of greed vs. the selfless serving of one’s country. His latest novel examines what he calls a “Power Cycle” threat, where those who operate outside the law must be dealt with outside society’s normal channels.

In 1946, peak military-industrial contracting has been cut by 400 billion dollars. Some of the same industrial organizations responsible for creating a military arsenal capable of supplying six different wars on four separate continents have become concerned. The economic impact of converting their-war time manufacturing to peace-time production represents risks they are not willing to accept. A consortium of these companies determine they must find a new way to restore the lost military contracting. Their plan calls for them to manipulate the Congressional military appropriations process for their own self-interests.

Hearing of the plot, the Sentinels decide to challenge. Voices Behind the Curtain is a story about powerful and resourceful people, those who endeavor to implement their plan of corruption, and those who oppose it.

PS: The Sentinels was recently adapted for the screen. The pilot is currently being promoted to studios.

Climate change. Two words that are quickly becoming the clarion call to action in the twenty-first century. It is a voter issue, an economy driver, and a defining dynamic for the foreseeable future. Yet, in Black communities, climate change is seen as less urgent when compared to other pressing issues, including police brutality, gun violence, job security, food insecurity, and the blatant racism faced daily around the country.

However, with Black Americans disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change—making up 13 percent of the US population but breathing 40 percent dirtier air and being twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from climate-related health problems than white counterparts—climate change is a central issue of racial justice and affects every aspect of life for Black communities.

In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis. As our country delves deeper into solutions for systemic racism and past injustices, she argues, the environmental movement must shift direction and leadership toward those most affected and most affecting change: Black communities.

That brief, blinding dazzle? The blue smudge and lingering stink? The Flash Gang has struck again! They are the most notorious thieves in Pittsburgh, food-stealing crooks the police and newspapers say are highly trained and very dangerous. But eleven-year-old Lewis Carter isn't a thief, he's just homeless and hungry. The Flash is a recipe he invented from bits of his missing father's scientific research. He uses it to pinch his dinners. It's been going pretty well, until now...

Now his recipe is stolen, and he is in the clutches of some rather nasty people. Enter tutu-wearing, starry-eyed, and all around extraordinary (she will tell you) Pearl Alice Clavell. She is on a mission to uncover a Nefarious Deed she's convinced involves the Flash Gang. Rescuing Lewis is right up her alley. Truth is, a Nefarious Deed is afoot, one that threatens the entire country. It will take Lewis and Pearl joining forces to save the recipe and themselves against an enemy who will stop at nothing, including kidnapping, and, very possibly, murder.

Series: Age of Shadows (1)

The Three-Faced Goddess has always protected Theron. Now, it's the Shadow's turn.

To protect her people from Argoss, the Three-Faced Goddess forged enchanted weapons powerful enough to defeat the wicked sorcerer. Now, ages later, those relics are disappearing. Lysadro knows the village magistrate Marek is responsible, and he searches for proof disguised as the masked protector the Shadow of Theron. But when Marek wounds him with an accursed sword that shouldn't exist, Lysandro must find a way to stop Marek from gaining any more sacred artifacts.

As the feud between Lysandro and Marek throws Lighura into chaos, and the appearance of the beautiful Seraphine complicates matters, Lysadro tries to find the courage to protect her from Marek and win her heart. Just as the danger mounts, the sacred stones promising the return of Argoss alight and time to find the relics grows shorter.

Can the Shadow of Theron and the Temple Council's priestesses recover the relics or will the truth they uncover destroy everyone in Theron? One thing is certain. The three temples to the Goddess have been keeping secrets: not just from the faithful, but from each other.

What happens when you blow the lid on a financial scam involving playboy businessmen, the leader of a country, and the laundering of billions of dollars? For Xavier Justo, it meant being thrown in a sordid Thai jail as the mother of all cover-ups kicked into action. For his wife Laura, left alone with their infant son, it meant battling an 18-month onslaught of intimidation, manipulation and lies.

Rendezvous with Injustice is an account of the 1MDB scandal that focuses not only on the crimes of men in expensive suits but also the human consequences felt by those who dared to do the right thing by exposing them. It’s a story that involves financial chicanery, unscrupulous lawyers, greed, decadence, and even a fake Scotland Yard detective. Ultimately, however, it’s a cry for truth and justice — and a testament to human resilience and tenacity.

Xavier Justo says: “Many were shocked to learn about the scale of the corruption involved in the 1MDB scam. Just as scandalous is that so few of those involved have had to answer for their crimes. Part of our motivation for writing this book is that justice has not been served — and we believe lawyers acting for some of the accused are now playing for time. It's vitally important that the world doesn't simply move on because other financial scandals are in the news".

“What my family had to suffer after we lifted the lid on the embezzlement of billions of dollars from Malaysia still seems stranger than fiction. In a sense, I exposed the crimes but Laura had to expose the criminals so that I could escape their vengeance. We hope our story helps readers to make sense of the rights and wrongs of what will go down in history as a shameful episode in human affairs.”

Xavier Justo is a Swiss former financier who in 2010 worked in London for PetroSaudi, “an oil services and production company.” After leaving the firm, he came into possession of thousands of files that proved fraud on an eye-watering scale by his former bosses and some Malaysian partners with whom they had conspired to embezzle a major tranche of the country’s sovereign wealth fund.

Initially, he sat on the evidence — but when he later met a British journalist named Clare Rewcastle Brown and some well-connected Malaysians who were able to put it all in context for him, the fate of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad — 1MDB — was sealed. In choosing to become a whistleblower, Justo set off a train of events that was to have untold repercussions not only for the individuals implicated and for Malaysia, but for himself and his family, too.

As Laura Justo writes, Rendezvous with Injustice contains all the elements of an outlandish thriller novel: “Billions stolen from a country that badly needed the money; drugs, decadence and gangster-like behavior; twisted lawyers; the scapegoating of an innocent man; and at the center of it all, me, a young mother alone with her child and living in fear.”

In his foreword, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, states: “Justo suffered while the real perpetrators walked freely along the corridors of power, unashamed and confident that their crimes would go unpunished. Justo's experience can serve as a lesson for anyone who cares about combating corruption.”

YOU are a business, conducting transactions every day for the purpose of sustaining your well-being, and toward scaling and growing as a person. The success of these transactions depends largely on your salability as an individual, and on your sensibility to distinguish between obstacles and opportunities. If you are willing to embrace the 'person as a business' concept, then it is easy to accept the proposition that the success of any business is linked to the human qualities of the people in it. The four principles essential for all success may be expressed as follows:

Salability + Sensibility + Sustainability + Scalability = Success

A process dubbed, the 4S Transform. In this book, you will learn how to identify and apply these "4S" principles toward your own definition of success, including establishing your own business. It is a fun and easy read, with humorous lessons and real-life examples which illustrate that the quality of one's character plays a dominant role in the success of any transaction, personal or professional.

If you are determined to run your own business, despite lacking any previous experience or formal training in that field this book is for you. You'll discover that you already possess the pieces to build your own success.

Infertility is one of the most painful and painfully common of human experiences. One in six couples will experience fertility challenges when they attempt to get pregnant, and while more and more people have spoken openly about infertility in recent years, the experience can still be incredibly isolating.

But none of us is alone in our struggles. In fact, infertility is a universal part of the human experience that is mentioned in the earliest human writings. Across cultures and throughout time, the experiences of people who have faced fertility problems are widely discussed in early manuscripts, medical treatises, diaries, novels, poetry, plays, and song.

After her own decade-long struggle to conceive, linguist and historian Karen Stollznow journeyed through history--from ancient civilizations and religions, to early-modern folklore, to current-day popular culture and modern medical practice—to try to make sense of what we mean by infertility and what infertility means for us. In Missed Conceptions, she shines a light on attitudes and beliefs about infertility, tests urban legends and old wives' tales, explores folk medicine and alternative therapies, and delves into modern science, separating fact from fiction along the way.

Blending personal narrative, historical research, and pop culture, Stollznow gives voice to a reality that has long been spoken about in hushed tones. For anyone who is trying (and failing) to conceive, who will do just about anything to achieve what has been mistakenly called "the most natural thing in the world," this book is a welcome and hopeful companion.

Amid sleepless nights and an oppressive environment, Aurelia must learn to wield the miracles and wonder working she possesses while also keeping her ability a secret—or risk her job, her friends, and even her life.

But danger is lurking in the dark desert nights. When Aurelia and Roe are attacked on their way home one evening and young women start turning up dead in the settlement, the trio are once again thrown into a perilous fight.

Tenuous alliances are tested and new enemies emerge as the young practitioners struggle to protect one another and the people they have come to serve. Re-enter a world of magic, medicine, and miracles in the stunning follow up to Blood and Wonder.

The world is in crisis: antisemitism, the “longest hatred,” is rearing its ugliest heads, again. Although much has been written about the subject, very little has been done to educate the public specifically about antisemitism—existing curricula are either outdated or not comprehensive, and none are designed to be engaging, especially to the younger audiences that need to learn this subject most.

A Brief and Visual History of Antisemitism aims to fill that glaring gap, not merely as a history textbook but as an epidemiological study that analyzes the pathology of the antisemitism virus from ancient to modern times: when, where, and how did antisemitism first emerge?

How did the disease of Jew-hatred spread so far and wide? Why has the hateful virus proven so resilient over time? The goal of this highly visual book is thus not merely to inform of what has already transpired, but to empower individuals to make sense of the avalanche of anti-Jewish invective in real-time.

“This book has the potential to be a powerful instrument of memory for a generation for whom it is urgent.” President Isaac Herzog, President of the State of Israel

"In this age of media and social media misinformation, scapegoating, anti-Zionist bullying on campus, disproportionate hate crimes against Jews, and the still insidious manifestations of Holocaust denial, A Brief and Visual History of Antisemitism could not have come at a better and more essential time." —Thane Rosenbaum, Novelist, essayist, law professor, and author of The Golems of Gotham and Saving Free Speech...from Itself

A Brief and Visual History of Antisemitism is an important book to help one better understand the long, pervasive history of global antisemitism. It is also a very important tool for teachers and all those who need to understand it in order to combat it. Order it and add it to your library.” —Abraham H. Foxman, Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) 1987–2015, Holocaust survivor

“This book should be required reading by those who seek to eradicate this scourge and educate the public of its dangers.” —Ambassador David Friedman, U.S. Ambassador to Israel (2017- 2021), author of Sledgehammer: How Breaking With the Past Brought Peace to the Middle East

“This book comes at a time it is needed most and should be required reading for Jewish students and all students of Jewish history.” —Ambassador Gilad Erdan, Israel’s 18th Permanent Representative to the United Nations

A Brief and Visual History of Antisemitism is an impactful work which clearly and creatively explains the concept of antisemitism, its history, how it manifests itself in society, and what we must do to combat it. Informative and engaging and I highly recommend it.” —Ambassador Danny Danon, Israel’s 17th Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Chairman of World Likud

A Brief and Visual History of Antisemitism... comprehensively and accurately takes us through the timeline of discrimination, bias, and hate towards the Jewish people, all around the world and throughout time. It dispels the myths and transmits the facts and truth enabling good people to call out and confront this pernicious hate.” —Rabbi Efrem Goldberg, Boca Raton Synagogue

“This distinctive textbook, through its contemporary incorporation of multimedia and its inviting design, should be a standard for all those seeking to be adequately informed, in order to repel the scourge of antisemitism from our midst.” —Yaakov Hagoel, Chairman of the World Zionist Organization

Never bargain with gods. They are thieves of the highest order.

Nephele Bloodgood didn't heed that advice. She struck a deal with Neri, God of the North, the legendary White Wolf. Her body and his earthly freedom in exchange for saving the Frost King from a deathly fate and protecting the City of Ruin.

When Neri calls Nephele's debt due, she must pay or sacrifice her magick to the god she loathes. Transported to the snowy mountains of the Northland continent, Nephele finds herself trapped inside a small cottage with the beast of a man who tempts her sensual nature at every turn, all while making her long to send him back to the grave. Soon, she devises a plan to dismantle the God of the North's deal, and he hatches a plan to avoid her clever web.

As frigid bitterness morphs into fiery passion, the wolf and the witch must decide what they're willing to lose in order to win their game of seduction. The problem is, neither considered they might have to forfeit their heart.

The Wolf and the Witch bridges the gap between City of Ruin and later books in the Witch Walker series with a tantalizing enemies-to-lovers/forced-proximity tale. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Scarlett St. Clair.

Four women from Haiti, St. Thomas, and Guam meet at a college counseling session for first-year students and learn they have a shared history of abuse. Dubbing themselves the "island sisters," their unyielding friendship is their touchstone across oceans, through labyrinths of forced marriages and violent men, motherhood, and their dreams of freedom.

Strong-willed and hot-headed Monique, quiet and romantic Cecilia, devout Lanei, and determined Ella are four friends who seem to makeup for what the other lacks. But no matter what is happening in their lives or the struggles they face, they share an unbreakable bond of friendship that serves as their anchor, helping and supporting each other through and through.

To succeed, each woman must make choices that will challenge her long-held cultural beliefs, choices that will come with consequences, in the pursuit of her own individual freedom.

An empowering narrative told from alternating perspectives of each friend, Micki Berthelot Morency has crafted four remarkable and hard-to-forget women whose fates are bound together by culture, by history, and most importantly, by a deep, irrevocable friendship. Heartfelt and deeply moving, The Island Sisters is an important story about hope and determination.

Fourteen terrifying tales of a ruined tomorrow! Was it nuclear war, an uncontrollable pandemic, or forces beyond our reckoning? Will we even know what happened once supply lines have been cut, radio silence has kicked in, and our world has come to a grinding halt? Who will have what it takes to carry on? Who will want to?

This cataclysmic anthology casts the reader into a post-apocalyptic world where every step taken and every decision made can mean the difference between life and death. These are epic stories of a world in ruins, but they are also intimate and moving accounts. Our masterful contributors take you by the hand and show you what will be. Don't let go, whatever you do...hold on tight! You will share the characters' struggles as you navigate wastelands or hole up as best you can in the crumbling remains of supermarkets and abandoned houses. You will go hungry. Your feet will grow numb. You will fear, and you might have to fight to the death. But in the end, you will remember it is only a book, and that you can close it, knowing you are safe and sound, because we are not in a post-apocalyptic world. Not here. Not now. Not today. But what will tomorrow bring?

Few volumes reflect understandings as varied as that of the Book of Esther. Embraced by many but disliked by others, it has constantly engaged its readers in new dialogue. On each reading, one is again drawn to the issues it confronts:

  • family dynamics
  • intergroup relations
  • celebration
  • armed resistance
  • heroism
  • sexual politics
  • the nature of historical truth

and much more

This commentary is framed by the equally fascinating story of the book's changing interpretations.

From re-definition to re-calibration, the poems in this book are artifacts of the early and mid-days of the pandemic. Though not specifically labeled as "Covid poems," they strike to the heart of the universal yet individual struggles of solitude, confinement, justice, isolation and, ultimately, self-reckoning. The poems push and pull between the constantly knocking global news cycle to the stillness of a surreal inner world.

Series: The Marked (1)

What if the dead hunted you?

As an untrained soul seer, Grace Crawford has not a damn clue what they want. But she’s about to find out.

After she finds a mark on the dead that kills the living, her quest to discover who unleashed it pivots to the half demon Gideon. She’s got her eye on him, and he’s got his on her too—every inch of her.

As the mark haunts humanity’s steps and the death tolls climb, Grace realizes she’s in way over her head. But the lines between good and evil are blurred and choosing who to trust is hard as hell, seeing as God is capable of wrath and Satan was once an angel.

From oral history to written word, learn about the history of Oregon through the stories of the Indigenous peoples of the Willamette Valley.

The Willamette Valley is rich with history—its riverbanks, forests, and mountains home to the tribes of Kalapuya, Chinook, Molalla, and more for thousands of years. This history has been largely unrecorded, incomplete, poorly researched, or partially told. In these stories, enriched by photographs and maps, Oregon Indigenous historian David G. Lewis combines years of researching historical documents and collecting oral stories, highlighting Native perspectives about the history of the Willamette Valley as they experienced it.

The timeline spans the first years of contact between settlers and tribes, the takeover of tribal lands and creation of reservations by the US Federal Government, and the assimilation efforts of boarding schools. Lewis shows the resiliency of Native peoples in the face of colonization.

Undoing the erasure of these stories reveals the fuller picture of the colonization and changes experienced by the Native peoples of the Willamette Valley absent from other contemporary histories of Oregon.

From the author of the acclaimed short story collection The Ascent of Eli Israel, and the warm, funny and heart-wrenching novel I Am My Beloveds, here are 14 searing, deeply-immersive stories that will forever change the way you look at the human experience.

Profound and magical, dark and disturbing, Papernick's stories are always challenging and brave. Whether he is writing stiletto-sharp flash fiction or a novella-length historical drama, Papernick's characters are rendered with the greatest empathy, presenting beauty and understanding amid stark brutality. From the opening story "Displaced Person," to the sexy and shocking "The Cinq à Sept Girl," Papernick returns to the themes of love and longing and desire. "Adam Number Three," provides a golem revenge story for the 21st century, while "When the Rains Came," a brief but devastating parable, takes on the eternal great flood myth in which only innocent children remain to carry on.

Masterful storytelling, by a writer working at peak power, Gallery of the Disappeared Men will remain with you long after you have closed the book.

A boy in a helmet. A girl in a mask.

One fateful night, each becomes the other’s worst enemy.

But they don't know that. Yet.

Kirt Morgana, the privileged son of a knight, is an utter disappointment. Inherently bad at everything his father values most, he’s failed every test and squandered every chance. To his surprise, however, he’s given a mission to retrieve his lord’s lost property—a box, locked and guarded in a fortified tower. To Kirt’s devastation, everything goes wrong… and he’s the one to blame. Reeling from his failure, he begins a desperate quest to find the Time Warden. If the last magician is real, he can turn back time and give Kirt a second chance.

Lucia Durand, called Luke by everyone except her older brother, spends her lonely days guarding a tower. Whatever’s inside doesn’t seem worth protecting, since no one’s ever paid attention to it… until now. Without warning, her castle is attacked, rekindling embers of a war long over. She succeeds in protecting the tower, but the invaders kill her brother, the only person she’s ever cared about. Even more broken than before, she sets out for revenge, running away and risking everything she and her brother have worked for.

When their paths cross, Kirt and Luke realize they can both get what they want if they work together. Not knowing that each was the catalyst of the other’s problems, they begin their journey across the kingdom. As the two form a bond of friendship, the truth of their entwined pasts bubbles closer and closer to the surface. But if they can find the Time Warden, maybe they can fix more than their own broken lives. Maybe they don’t have to be enemies after all.

As the end of World War II approached, efforts were made at many Nazi concentration camps to destroy records and either to murder the remaining prisoners or to transfer them elsewhere. This was in response to SS instructions that no prisoners should be found when Allied troops arrived.

The death marches are infamous, but less well known is that there were also many transfers by train. These transports were frequently conducted from within the camps themselves. When the Allied armies smashed beyond the Rhine and began slicing into central Germany, in early April 1945, three trains left Bergen-Belsen. One reached its destination in Theresienstadt. The second was liberated by the Americans at a village near Farsleben in Germany. The last of the three transports, the one we were on, was the last train to leave Bergen-Belsen. It never reached its destination.

Our train contained about twenty-five hundred Jews—men, women, and children—and a group of armed SS guards. We were all loaded into forty-five railway cars. Some were passenger cars and some were typical antiquated freight cars called forty and eights, signifying that these cars would accommodate forty men or eight horses. I was thirteen years old when I climbed with my mother and two brothers onto this train.

The armed SS guards, striding around the platform, kept motioning for the prisoners to move, yelling over the noise of truck engines, Vorwärts! Schneller! Move it! Faster! Get it moving! Get it moving! The question on everyones lips was Where are we going?

When a teen pilot witnesses a plane deliberately knocked out of the sky in what is supposed to be a friendly international air race, she must unravel the mystery before becoming a victim herself. A stunning new historical thriller from New York Times bestselling Elizabeth Wein.

Europe, 1937. Stella North, who has learned to fly planes as a teen, has the opportunity to participate in a race across Europe for a hefty sum of prize money. The race is billed by its eccentric organizer, Lady Frith, as the "Circuit of Nations Olympics of the Air" and is designed to promote peace and sport among Europe's young pilots; entrants must be under the age of 21. 

Europe pre-WWII is an unsettled and dangerous place: civil war is raging in Spain, Hitler is in power in Germany, Italy has embraced Fascism, and in the Soviet Union, anyone who speaks out against the government is ruthlessly imprisoned and executed. The air race is going to be an unusual propaganda event for many of the participants. Stella needs to be careful as she navigates her way across Europe's troubled skies, not least because of her own family background (her parents were murdered during the Russian Revolution, and her aunt and uncle fled to Britain with her when she was only three.)

Nevertheless, she is shocked when she witnesses one of the race's participants using his plane to ram another pilot out of the sky. Early evidence points to the sullen and enigmatic French pilot, Tony Roberts, but he also claims that his own plane has been sabotaged. As events unfold, further evidence points to Stella herself -- to outside eyes, it appears that she may be attempting to get rid of a competitor and pushing the blame onto her fellow racers. It's up to Stella to unravel the mystery before she becomes the assassin's next victim.

If the delivery had been a demonic bowling alley or a mermaid’s grotto, Ivy would have sent it away. She has standards, after all. But she can’t refuse a magical Library, especially when they’ve gone to the trouble of including a wheelchair ramp. They say that on the Internet nobody knows you’re a dog, but somebody knows fourteen-year-old Ivy is an orphan, that she sells her paper-writing services to lazy college students, and that her imaginary friends are unhappy being stuck in the mural on the wall of her Alaskan home.

Himitsu refuses the Library, becoming angry enough to attack the delivery people with his bamboo sword. They won’t tempt him with books, any more than his mother has been able to tempt him into leaving their apartment during the past two years. He has all he needs: video games, online forums, and his virtual girlfriend Moe. Well, almost all. His dad’s death has left a hole in him, which is why when he receives text messages saying the Library can bring back the dead, he changes his mind. Moe tries to warn him about the danger, but what does she know, anyway?

Now, having been lured into the Library and having foolishly brought their imaginary friends with them, Ivy and Himitsu find those friends are trapped. The teens have a choice: fulfill the Librarian’s odd and painful demands in hopes of rescuing their friends or go back alone to their small, boring lives, knowing they’ve failed the only ones who really believe in them.

Series: Systema Paradoxa (14)

There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky—or unlucky—few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.

These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others have always been with us—watching us, fearing us, hunting us.

These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.

***

Prudence Ann Wells grew up believing the things that went bump in the night were just fairy tales. Until the night a slathering beast with all-to-intelligent eyes breaks down their door.

She freezes as the creature rushes her and her mother, convinced it can’t be real, as she and her sister, Justice, had always been told.

Only they had been raised on lies.

Prue survives the attack; her mother does not.

Driven by guilt and revenge, she and Justice set out to stop the beast, but can Prue end the nightmare without becoming a monster herself?

Why choose between healthy, organic vegetables and saving money when you can have both? And you can do it in just a few weeks!

People are constantly on the lookout for ways to feed themselves and their families with the right amounts of vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy. Sadly, this is becoming more and more expensive.

It costs around $2 for 1 pound of tomatoes and more than double that if you want to go organic.

In comparison, for just $5, you can plant a whole pack of tomato seeds with each plant producing an average of 10 pounds.

Add to that the fewer trips to the grocery store and no plastic wrapping—you are onto a winner.

According to the National Gardening Association, the average gardener will spend only $70 a year on their garden but grow $600 worth of food.

On top of the savings, you get to enjoy freshly harvested vegetables from your garden, knowing that not a single chemical has been used. That’s health and savings in one fun activity!

Many will look at vegetable gardens and marvel at the time and skill it must have taken. In fact, all it has taken is knowledge and patience.

The patience is up to you, but the knowledge you need is right here at your future green fingertips.

In Avoid The Mistakes as a First Time Gardener Growing Vegetables here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • A step-by-step guide to growing and harvesting over 50 easy-to-grow vegetables regardless of the size of your garden
  • Tests you can do at home to understand your soil quality and the methods to correct it…before making a mistake
  • 2 simple composting techniques so you can feed your soil, reduce household waste by up to 30%, and help the environment
  • The benefits of adding herbs and flowers to your vegetable garden to encourage pollination, and reduce pest invasions—all while adding nutrients and flavor to your meals
  • What do the USDA hardiness zones mean and what this mean for you
  • How to design a vegetable garden that incorporates a diverse range of edible vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • The amazing world of companion planting—bring all the elements of your vegetable garden together
  • How to build a stunning trellis for vines, adding depth and visual appeal to your garden
  • 20 gardening terms and their meanings that will make you feel like a pro before you even pick up a shovel
  • Bonus tips on succession planting, crop rotation, and seed stratification to move on from an amateur gardener to a vegetable growing master

And much more.

There is one disease most feared in all gardens—black-thumbitis! That amazing ability to kill any type of plant. For no seed to germinate. Or even to replant a healthy plant from a nursery only to find it wilting and dying the next day.

This isn’t a lack of ability. It’s not a lack of time. More often than not, it’s a case of too much enthusiasm and not enough preparation.

Let’s get the balance right. Let’s get excited about the preparation so that the rest merely blooms.

When Rollie Birch returns home from the Great War in 1919 with a cluster of medals, he feels as if he’s landed in the wrong country. His wife has died, leaving behind an infant daughter born while he was overseas. His small logging town of Lumberton, Washington, has grown but still runs on gossip. Almost overnight, Rollie the hero becomes a pariah for his scandalous decision to raise his daughter by himself—a child rumored not to be his—and for refusing to talk about his wartime exploits.

The past two years have changed Kay Sorensen as well. Daughter of the Lumberton timber baron, Kay spent the war working for her father, organizing patriotic and charitable efforts, and discovering her love for politics and business. But when her husband—Rollie’s former platoon commander—returns, Kay expects, correctly, that he’ll make her quit her job. She’s dreamed of marriage as an equal partnership; now, she chafes under her husband’s cold tyranny. Did the war change him?

Thom James is tired of his wild but empty rock star life, so when he meets a fan who is as uninhibited and unapologetic as he is, he falls hard. Problem is, she’s busy chasing ghosts and has no interest in a serious relationship. Before she says goodbye, the enigmatic groupie leaves Thom with a dire warning about dark forces that are attached to his band.

Freshly fired from her professor job, Megan O’Neil is strictly focused on pouring herself into her side gig: ghost hunting. She can’t get her latest hookup out of her mind, though, and her connection to notorious rocker Thom James inconveniently persists when she forgets her demon-trapping watch in his hotel room. When he tracks her down to return the lost object, she confronts her growing feelings for the famous bassist along with a realization that she must tackle a nasty curse that’s way above her pay grade. Too bad the curse, which has followed her since childhood, is not about to be neutralized without a fight.

Now, Thom and Megan must battle not only a malevolent spirit, but a fierce attraction that feels doomed by the demands of their incompatible lives. When Megan excavates a strange book of witchcraft and taps into a world of magic with ties to a terrifying prophecy, she and Thom face down not only the challenges of making a relationship work, but of somehow halting the machinery of magical fate before everyone pays the price.

Driving late at night on a rural road in North Carolina in 1948, Billy Dalton sees a fiery car in the distance. He brakes, sprints to the burning vehicle, and rescues a beaten woman and a rope-bound child just before the gas tank explodes.

Later, awakening in a hospital and covered with burns, the sheriff tells Billy there was no woman, no child and no other vehicle found at the scene—only the scorched wreckage of Billy’s own car. Gradually and reluctantly, Billy accepts the story that he crashed his automobile into a tree and hallucinated the woman and the child in the trauma of the fire.

However, thirteen years later a surprise visit from a private investigator helps Billy unravel the mystery of what really happened on the night of the burning car.

A suspenseful tale of deceit, desperation, love, revenge, and redemption.

When you follow the book’s guidelines and partake in the 7-week journey while listening to the accompanying audio, be prepared for permanent life-changing results. While the book is for women, it specifically addresses the challenges women going through menopause face and shows how a fasting lifestyle can significantly alleviate these issues.

The book is unique in its approach, as it reveals that the secret to transforming one’s health starts with the mind. It shows the reader how to master their mind by harnessing the power of the subconscious so it works for them rather than against them. Both authors are Rapid Transformation Therapists (RTT) who show that the words you feed your mind are just as important as the food you feed your body. The book shows how one needs to nurture both mind and body to have lasting outcomes.

To nurture the mind, they have developed a tailored self-hypnosis audio to help the reader easily develop the mindset and belief system to achieve their wellness goal. All the reader has to do is play it every night for the 7-week program. To nurture the body, the book shows how nutrition and fasting are complementary to healthy living. On the one hand, it shows how your diet can be used as your own pharmacy, while on the other, how you can turn your body into a fat-burning superpower simply by fasting.

This comprehensive lifestyle book is organized into 3 parts – the Fundamentals, the Journey, and the Recipes. In Part 1, the key concepts behind the book are elaborated upon. These include the essentials behind how the mind works, the fasting practice itself, and the basics of nutrition as well as 2 super diets. The second part covers the journey to a healthy lifestyle, with fasting as its core. It consists of a 7-week transformation plan, proven tips to make the journey easier, and detailed meal plans for Low Carb and Keto diets. The book’s final part is dedicated to nearly 50 delicious Low Carb and Keto recipes.

This is a brief list of what the reader will discover in the book:

1. Why Intermittent Fasting is a lifestyle choice, not just a diet.

2. The fundamentals of Intermittent Fasting, including proven tips and tricks to make it easy and accessible. This guide helps you choose the right fasting program, whether beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

3. That fasting is a therapeutic approach backed up by the latest scientific research. See how some doctors use it to treat chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, fatigue, autoimmune diseases, osteoarthritis, and of course, being overweight!

4. How Intermittent Fasting breaks the cycle of insulin resistance and helps reach a lasting healthy weight.

5. The science behind weight gain, learning why hormones drive it, and how you can regulate them naturally.

6. How fasting hugely benefits women throughout life, especially through the perimenopause and menopause phases.

7. How to practice your daily DOSE of Happy Hormones - elevating these feel-good hormones helps you maintain a positive attitude to cope with everyday stresses.

8. How 2 anti-inflammatory diets, Keto and Low Carb, are your best option to pair with Intermittent Fasting.

9. A 7-week transformation plan with day-by-day guidance, along with delicious recipes and easy meal plans.

10. The secret to the longevity of the centenarians living around the world and be inspired by their lifestyle.

Series: Hanging Rock (1)

The spirits have a bone to pick with the living in Glenbrook.

Majestic mountains, surreal forest, hiking trails that go on for miles, these are all the things you'll find in Glenbrook, Nevada. Nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, you'll find a nature lovers dream come true. Oh, and I can't forget the shifters and witches that dwell here as well. But you won't hear about those on any tourist brochures.

I knew coming back home, though wouldn't be easy, especially with my overly dramatic grandmother insisting she's dying. But having my brakes cut certainly wasn't the welcome I was expecting. Nor was it my intention to stumble into a 200-year feud with the neighboring town of shifters. Now I've got to figure out who wants me dead, and how to break a 200-year-old curse before my hometown is leveled by a vengeful spirit.

And here I thought this trip back home was going to be boring.

A tale of adventure, betrayal, espionage & onions...

The idea of space excites me.

Yet, as history tells us, has always been difficult for humans to reach. Myself included.

So why not experience that adventure by talking my way onto a pirate crew…

… And trying to abduct its notorious captain?

Little did I know who I was dealing with.

My name is Simon Fox and I’m fresh out of flunking freighter school. Don’t tell anyone that by the way because I lied on my resume.

No one does that, right?

The pirate ship in question is called the Unbound. It’s that piece of scrap metal on the cover and it goes from zero to sarcasm faster than mag travel. The crew are smelly, crazy and annoying. I also hope they can’t read.

Anyway, you might be wondering why a space flunky is attempting this crazy mission.

I have a good reason, and it starts with a master plan and an entry hatch…

Unbound is a fun and light read, with lots of intrigue and space shenanigans.

After being wrongly convicted of murder, eighteen-year-old Leo Hart is sentenced to serve time in the worst place imaginable—Krimos Islands.

This cluster of penal islands is said to be reserved for the most heinous of convicts.

Murderers. Sociopaths. Wicked men capable of taking a life without a second thought.

And Leo is anything but wicked. He’s soft—too soft, according to his brother.

He’ll never survive.

But when Leo discovers that part of Krimos Islands is inhabited by a society of men searching to atone for past mistakes, he knows this is his only shot at survival.

The only problem is, getting there is nearly impossible. Leo will have to travel across gang territory just to reach the next island, which is said to be even more dangerous than the one he started on.

Whether he reaches his destination will depend on who he trusts, and how much of his humanity he’s willing to shed.

Recommended for readers 16+ due to explicit language, graphic violence, abuse, and death.

Rabbi Jonathan Porath recounts the story of his lifetime of experiences with Soviet and post-Soviet Jews spanning over fifty years. This first-person account is packed with anecdotes from one of the great sagas of modern Jewish history, the near loss and ultimate return of Soviet Jewry to the Jewish people after more than seventy years of Communist rule.

"The important message of the book is that regardless of the degree of antisemitism, attempts to eradicate the Jewish people and the time from of isolation from the rest of the Jewish world there is always a remaining spark that rekindles revival. It happened after the Holocaust. It happened after centuries of Jewish exile from the ancestral homeland, and it happened with Soviet Jewry, just as it did throughout Jewish history." —Greer Fay Cashman, Jerusalem Post

An ancient curse has prevented astrologer Brooke Howe from finding true love. She hides her longing by matching others with the hope of someday changing her plight.

When Nico Denopoulos, the gorgeous younger brother of a friend, struts into her shop seeking a soulmate, she's immediately drawn to his magnetic presence and his romantic heart. She can't deny the intense sensation that she knows the sexy-as- sin chef, but can't figure out why.

Fearing that he's grown bitter, he has high hopes that Brooke can help him with his problem, except for one thing- the more time he spends with her, the more he wants her-in every way possible.

As much as Brooke wants to believe Nico is the real deal, she fears that when the seasons change so will his feelings. She's terrified of falling for him. They're inexorably drawn together and she can't help but wonder if he may hold the secret to reversing the curse and changing her destiny.

The launch of Britain’s “Anglo-Saxon” origin-myth and the first Old English etymological dictionary.

This is the only book in human history that presents a confessional description of criminal forgery that fraudulently introduced the legendary version of British history that continues to be repeated in modern textbooks. Richard Verstegan was the dominant artist and publisher in the British Ghostwriting Workshop that monopolized the print industry across a century. Scholars have previously described him as a professional goldsmith and exiled Catholic-propaganda publisher, but these qualifications merely prepared him to become a history forger and multi-sided theopolitical manipulator. The BRRAM series’ computational-linguistic method attributes most of the British Renaissance’s theological output, including the translation of the King James Bible, to Verstegan as its ghostwriter. Beyond providing handwriting analysis and documentary proof that Verstegan was the ghostwriter behind various otherwise bylined history-changing texts, this translation of Verstegan’s self-attributed Restitution presents an accessible version of a book that is essential to understanding the path history took to our modern world.

On the surface, Restitution is the first dictionary of Old English, and has been credited as the text that established Verstegan as the founder of “Anglo-Saxon” studies. The “Exordium” reveals a much deeper significance behind these firsts by juxtaposing them against Verstegan’s letters and the history of the publication of the earliest Old English texts to be printed starting in 1565 (at the same time when Verstegan began his studies at Oxford). Verstegan is reinterpreted as the dominant forger and (self)-translator of these frequently non-existent manuscripts, whereas credit for these Old English translations has been erroneously assigned to puffed bylines such as Archbishop Parker and the Learned Camden’s Society of Antiquaries. When Verstegan’s motives are overlayed on this history, the term “Anglo-Saxon” is clarified as part of a Dutch-German propaganda campaign that aimed to overpower Britain by suggesting it was historically an Old German-speaking extension of Germany’s Catholic Holy Roman Empire. These ideas regarding a “pure” German race began with the myth of a European unified origin-myth, with their ancestry stemming from Tuisco, shortly after the biblical fall of Babel; Tuisco is described variedly as a tribal founder or as an idolatrous god on whom the term Teutonic is based. This chosen-people European origin-myth was used across the colonial era to convince colonized people of the superiority of their colonizers. A variant of this myth has also been reused in the “Aryan” pure-race theory; the term Aryan is derived from Iran; according to the theology Verstegan explains, this “pure” Germanic race originated with Tuisco’s exit from Babel in Mesopotamia or modern-day Iraq, but since Schlegel’s Über (1808) introduced the term “Aryan”, this theory’s key-term has been erroneously referring to modern-day Iran in Persia.

Since Restitution founded these problematic “Anglo-Saxon” ideas, the lack of any earlier translation of it into Modern English has been preventing scholars from understanding the range of deliberate absurdities, contradictions and historical manipulations behind this text. And the Germanic theological legend that Verstegan imagines about Old German deities such as Thor (Zeus: thunder), Friga (Venus: love) and Seater (Saturn) is explained as part of an ancient attempt by empires to demonize colonized cultures, when in fact references to these deities were merely variants of the Greco-Roman deities’ names that resulted from a degradation of Vulgar Latin into early European languages. Translations of the earlier brief versions of these legends from Saxo (1534; 1234?), John the Great (1554) and Olaus the Great (1555) shows how each subsequent “history” adds new and contradictory fictitious details, while claiming the existence of the preceding sources proves their veracity. This study also questions the underlying timeline of British history, proposing instead that DNA evidence for modern-Britons indicates most of them were Dutch-Germans who migrated during Emperor Otto I’s reign (962-973) when Germany first gained control over the Holy Roman Empire, and not in 477, as the legend of Hengist and Horsa (as Verstegan satirically explains, both of these names mean horse) dictates. The history of the origin of Celtic languages (such as Welsh) is also undermined with the alternative theory that they originated in Brittany on France’s border, as opposed to the current belief that British Celts brought the Celtic Breton language into French Brittany when they invaded it in the 9th century. There are many other discoveries across the introductory and annotative content accompanying this translation to stimulate further research.

Without question, Tel Aviv is one of the world’s most compact and cosmopolitan destinations. It is 20 square miles of the finest art, music, fashion, and food in the world, sitting on the magnificent Mediterranean coastline and dotted with multitudinous green parks and promenades in which to provide shade and respite from the blistering summer sun. It’s the financial and start-up center of Israel and is often referred to as “Silicon Wadi,” a reference to it being the technology hub of Israel. It also happens to be filled with some of the world’s greatest architecture, ranging from its UNESCO-protected “White City,” featuring the world’s largest and best concentration of Bauhaus and International Style architecture, to masterpieces by I M Pei and Preston Scott Cohen.

It’s also one of the world’s youngest cities, one that didn’t organically evolve upon millennia of history— it was purposefully and thoughtfully founded in 1909. A city looking toward the future. A city of modernity and culture in the midst of an ancient land and ancient peoples.

Yet, when walking the streets of this incomparable city, you are cordially invited to a history lesson provided at every street corner with questions posed by its street names. Named after Tel Aviv’s greatest literary and political figures, these nods at Tel Aviv’s and Israel’s history beg the question, “Who was this person and what did they have to do with this city’s formation?” Those named after great philanthropists, statesmen, and scientists invite you to ponder the present-day results of their foresight, bravery, and vision. 50 of Tel Aviv’s Most Intriguing Streets: The Lives Behind the Names is posed to answer just those questions.

Including more than 300 color photographs by acclaimed Israeli photographer, Ziv Koren, and iconic, historic photographs (many of them showing “then/now” comparisons, expressing the lightning speed at which this city moves forward in time) celebrate the visual evolution of this “City that Never Sleeps.” Insightful essays by Israeli/American writer and Professor of English Literature at Haifa University, Miryam Sivan, guide you through a brief, yet concise history of the person for whom these specific streets in Tel Aviv have been deservedly named. The photos and essays have been carefully curated by Ellin Yassky, a veteran art book editor and producer, ensuring you a unique visual and literary experience as you virtually walk along these selected streets of Tel Aviv.

This is a book that invites you to pause and marvel at the amalgamation of physical and personal strength, bravery, foresight, and belief in the destiny of a modern Jewish people as they distinguish themselves as players in the world arena of arts, politics, science, and culture. It beckons you to learn about and enjoy this city on a deeper level of understanding. Through the pages of this beautifully illustrated book, walk the streets through Tel Aviv’s history and learn how the city unfolded from Yafo (Jaffa) to the now trendy and picturesque Neve Tzedek quarter, through the explosion of Bauhaus apartments and, wide, tree-lined boulevards, and stretching to the hi-tech campuses of state-of-the-art science and medical research, and finally the new northern residential neighborhoods that constantly push the geographic boundaries of this uncompromising, incomparable, and captivating city. This book is a visual and insightful delight.

In the days before Roe v. Wade, an ambitious young journalist, abandoned by her beau, leaves Michigan for a dream job on the city desk of a Rochester, NY newspaper. Burned once, she's eager for love, but as the only Girl in the newsroom, she's more concerned about finding allies and making friends.

A poetic satire of ghostwriters being hired to write puffery of and by patrons and sponsors, who pay to gain immortal fame for being “great”, while failing to perform any work to deserve any praise.

This volume shows the similarities across Gabriel Harvey’s poetic canon stretching from his critically-ignored self-attributed Smith (1578), his famous “Edmund Spenser”-bylined Fairy Queen (1590), and his semi-recognized “Samuel Brandon”-bylined Virtuous Octavia (1598). This close analysis of Smith is essential for explaining all of Harvey’s multi-bylined output because Smith is an extensive confession about Harvey’s ghostwriting process. Harvey’s Fairy Queen is his mature attempt at an extensive puffery of a monarch, which has been (as Harvey predicted in Smith and Ciceronianus) in return over-puffed as a “great” literary achievement by monarchy-conserving literary scholars across the past four hundred years. The relatively superior in its condensed social message and literary achievement Smith has been ignored in part because the subject of its puffery appears trivial from the perspective of national propaganda.

Smith: Or, The Tears of the Muses is a metered poetic composition that can also be performed as a multi-monologue play. The central formulaic structure is grounded in nine Cantos that are delivered by each of the nine Muses; this formula appeared in many British poems and interludes after its appearance in “Nicholas Grimald’s” translation of a “Virgil”-assigned poem called “The Muses” in Songs and Sonnets (1557). The repetitive nature of this puffing formula is subverted not only by the satirical and ironic contradictions that are mixed with the standard exaggerated flatteries of “Sir Thomas Smith” (Elizabeth’s Secretary), but also with several seemingly digressive sections that puff and satirize other bylines, including “Walter Mildmay” (King’s Councilor) and “John Wood” (“Smith’s” copyist and nephew). The central subject of the satire in Smith is Richard Verstegan’s career as a goldsmith, who forged antiques, and committed identity fraud that included ghostwriting books under multiple bylines, including passing himself (as Harvey points out) as at least two different “Sir Thomas Smiths”. The introduction to this volume includes matching handwritten letters that were written by Smith #1 (who died in 1577) and Smith #2 (who died in 1625) and by Verstegan under his own byline. In Smith’s conclusion, Verstegan responds with ridicule of his own directed at Harvey.

This is the first full translation of Smith from Latin into English. The accompanying introductory matter, extensive annotations, and class exercises hint at the many scholarly discoveries attainable by researchers who continue the exploration of this elegant work.

Series: Coven Daughters (4)

Cynthia Fields, a powerful witch with a troubled past, is so close to cracking the code of the Coven Daughters prophecy. She just needs to unlock the secrets of Fire and Chaos and connect with her five coven sisters, and she'll be set to save the world and maybe even herself.

Cynthia's search takes her on a cross-country hitchhiking trip where she meets a strange truck driver who claims to have the ability to jump into different bodies before the journey lands her in the arms of a sexy, mysterious drifter who goes by Corvus. Following what was supposed to be a one-time, steamy encounter, Corvus reveals to Cynthia that he's a raven shifter with his own agenda-revenge-for unraveling the prophetic mysteries. His knowledge of the prophecy runs deep, and they form an alliance that's as intense as their burgeoning desire.

Bound by sizzling romance and magical obsession, Cynthia and Corvus hop on a motorcycle and chase the secrets of witchcraft until Cynthia's quest to enhance her power tangles her in the snares of a malevolent entity, Folly, who claims to rule over the prophecy. Reluctantly, Cynthia agrees to Folly's demands, a bargain that must be paid with the blood of those she loves. Will Cynthia and Corvus beat this witchy game of cat-and-mouse before it's too late?

What sucks about waking up next to a dead girl on a Saturday is, more than likely you're gonna miss brunch.

Just ask Sammy Junior-full-time house painter, part-time street artist and, as of Saturday morning, prime suspect in a South Tampa homicide investigation. One more hassle he simply does not need.

Then there's Penny Sullivan, a fifteen-year-old runaway who shows up in South Tampa that same Saturday morning with only her dead sister's street smarts, a whole lot of survivor's guilt, and a Canada backpack.

Misunderstandings lead to Penny joining Sammy's crew, giving her a glimpse of the house painting business-where mind-numbing boredom inspires an acid-trip world of distraction, art and healing relationships.

A funny, fast-paced story about friendship and love, tragedy and redemption, and the always intriguing business of house painting.

A ring of reverse half gravity encircles the globe, the result of a cataclysmic event that occurred 500 years in the past. Tallow has been performing the duties of a scout for years and all he knows is that life is difficult at the base of the swath. He travels along the edges of the limen, a threshold separating the earth-bound from the sky-bound — a border the tether tribes have never dared to cross. One misstep could cost him his life.

While scouting for resources, Tallow encounters something he’s never seen before, a woman, one with knowledge about his people that she shouldn’t have — and a warning. Her allegations couldn’t possibly be true, they lived in different worlds. Her people couldn’t cross over to learn about his people any more than the tribes could cross over to learn about hers. The problem is, he can’t get her out of his mind, and soon learns that a dangerous lie underpins everything he has ever known.

The first English self-labeled “tragicomedy” about Octavia’s failed attempts to win back her inconstant husband, Antony, from his Egyptian lover, Cleopatra, and to prevent her brother, Octavius, from waging retaliatory war on Antony and Cleopatra.

This volume presents overwhelming evidence for the re-attribution of the “Samuell Brandon”-bylined The Virtuous Octavia (1598) to Gabriel Harvey. The introduction raises questions about potential attribution leads and revealing relevant sources, which are answered with the evidence in the “Primary Sources” section that includes: three letters exchanged between William Byrd and Harvey while both were teaching at Cambridge, the “Octavia to Anthony” poetic epistle from the Arundel Harington Manuscript, and fragments from Plutarch’s “Mark Antony” chapter. The “Exordium” includes sections that present revealing clues in seemingly mundane details, such as this play’s typesetting. Another introductory section explains how Gerard Langbaine created the first “Brandon” biography solely based on the evidence presented in the Virtuous play, and without any evidence to support that “Brandon” was indeed a real author, and not merely a fictitious pseudonym. The imaginative process Langbaine used to manufacture “Brandon’s” biography is used to explain how scholars have communally arrived at the erroneous current attributions for the texts of the British Renaissance.

A section on Harvey’s literary style explains how the texts Harvey ghostwrote differ from the patterns seen in the other Workshop ghostwriters’ texts. Another section presents visual examples of Harvey’s handwriting in his signed annotations on Domenichi’s Facetie, on “J. Harvey’s” A Discursive Problem Concerning Prophesies, and on Nicolai Machiavelli Princeps, and matches these to the handwriting styles currently assigned to two bylines Harvey ghostwrote under: “Edmund Spenser’s” poem on a copy of Sabinus’ Poëmata and “Elizabeth I’s” letter in Italian to Don Ferdinando de Medici, Grand-Duke of Tuscany. Another section explains how the two dedications to “the virtuous… Mary Thynne” and “the virtuous Lady Lucia Audley” are subversive clues that explain Virtuous Octavia as Harvey’s rebuttal to Percy’s at first anonymous and later “Shakespeare”-bylined Romeo and Juliet (1597). Romeo’s plot has long been suspected to be grounded in the contemporary story of Mary Thynne’s marriage to a member of a rival family, as well as the subsequent violence and litigations over this star-crossed-marriage between Mary’s mother, Lady Audley, and other members of their two clans. And a section on imitation-clusters explains that Virtuous Octavia falls into several sub-genre clusters that turn into an original formula when they are mixed together. These clusters include imitations and translations of the French dramatist Robert Garnier; adaptations of historical plotlines from Plutarch’s Lives; and imitations of Seneca’s tragedies. One of the latter tragedies by Seneca is also called Octavia, and it is about Emperor Nero’s wife of this same name, which had been translated into English by “T. N.” back in 1581. There are also explanation for the seemingly deliberately misdated historical details, such as the mixed references to events that involved M. Marcellus (270-208 BC; 5-time Consul) and G. Marcellus (88-40 BC; 1-time Consul; first husband of Octavia). And sections summarize Virtuous Octavia’s critical reception, give ideas to directors on approaches to its staging, and present an extensive synopsis of its narrative.

This verse tragicomedy begins after the Treaty of Tarentum has been signed, renewing the power-split of Roman territories between three Emperors: Octavia’s brother Octavius is awarded the West, Octavia’s husband Antony is awarded the East, and Lepidus receives Africa. Octavia receives news that Antony is living with Cleopatra. When Octavia attempts to bring military reinforcements and to speak with Antony to convince him to return to her, Antony refuses to allow her to come near him. The news of this infidelity enrages Octavius, who decides it is an affront on his own honor, and uses it as a pretext to wage war against Antony, despite Octavia’s continuing petitions for peace and reconcilement. Civil and foreign wars are raging in the background, but most of the play focuses on Octavia’s philosophical and emotional struggle to comprehend why Antony has chosen to sin, and how she is stoically determined to remain constant and virtuous. In a brief mention in the resolution, Cleopatra causes Antony’s tragic death by tricking him into believing she has killed herself, before indeed killing herself. In the forefront of this conclusion, Octavia explains why she continues to be committed to virtuous conduct, despite all that has happened, and to take care of Antony’s children, even when she has to do so outside of Antony’s house (from which he has forcefully evicted her).

A comparative anthology of all of the variedly-bylined texts in William Byrd’s linguistic-group, with scholarly introductions that solve previously impenetrable literary mysteries.

This is a comparative anthology of William Byrd’s multi-bylined verse, with scholarly introductions to their biographies, borrowings, and generic and structural formulas. The tested Byrd-group includes 30 texts with 29 different bylines. Each of these texts is covered in a separate chronologically-organized section. This anthology includes modernized translations of some of the greatest and the wittiest poetry of the Renaissance. Some of these poems are the most famous English poems ever written, while others have never been modernized before. These poems serve merely as a bridge upon which a very different history of early British poetry and music is reconstructed, through the alternative history of the single ghostwriter behind them. This history begins with two forgeries that are written in an antique Middle English style, while simultaneously imitating Virgil’s Eclogues: “Alexander Barclay’s” claimed translation of Pope Pius II’s Eclogues (1514?) and “John Skelton’s” Eclogues (1521?).

The next attribution mystery solved is how only a single poem assigned to “Walter Rawely of the Middle Temple” (when Raleigh is not known to have been a member of this Inn of Court) in The Steal Glass: A Satire (1576) has snowballed into entire anthologies of poetry that continue to be assigned to “Raleigh” as their “author”. Matthew Lownes assigned the “Edmund Spenser”-byline for the first time in 1611 to the previously anonymous Shepherds’ Calendar (1579) to profit from the popularity of the appended to it Fairy Queen. And “Thomas Watson” has been credited with creating Hekatompathia (1582), when this was his first book-length attempt in English; and this collection has been described as the first Petrarchan sonnet sequence in English, when actually most of these poems have 18-line, instead of 14-line stanzas. Byrd’s self-attributed Psalms, Sonnets, and Songs (1588) includes several lyrics that have since been re-assigned erroneously to other bylines in this collection, such as “My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is” being re-assigned to “Sir Edward Dyer”. The Byrd chapter also describes the history of his music-licensing monopoly.

The “University Wit” label is reinterpreted as being applied to those who completed paper-degrees with help from ghostwriters, as exemplified in “Robert Greene’s” confession that “his” Pandosto and Menaphon were “so many parricides”, as if these obscene topics were forced upon him without his participation in the authorial process. “Philip Sidney’s” Astrophil and Stella (1591) is showcased as an example of erroneous autobiographical interpretations of minor poetic references; for example, the line “Rich she is” in a sonnet that puns repeatedly on the term “rich”, has been erroneously widely claimed by scholars to prove that Sidney had a prolonged love-interest in “Lady Penelope Devereux Rich”. Similarly, Thomas Lodge’s 1592-3 voyage to South America has been used to claim his special predilection for “sea-studies”, in works such as Phillis (1593), when adoring descriptions of the sea are common across the Byrd-group. Alexander Dyce appears to have assigned the anonymous Licia (1593) to “Giles Fletcher” in a brief note in 1843, using only the evidence of a vague mention of an associated monarch in a text from another member of the “Fletcher” family.

One of the few blatantly fictitiously-bylined Renaissance texts that have not been re-assigned to a famous “Author” is “Henry Willobie’s” Avisa (1594) that invents a non-existent Oxford-affiliated editor called “Hadrian Dorrell”, who confesses to have stolen this book, without “Willobie’s” permission. Even with such blatant evidence of satirical pseudonym usage or potential identity-fraud, scholars have continued to search for names in Oxford’s records that match these bylines. “John Monday’s” Songs and Psalms (1594) has been labeled as one of the earliest madrigal collections. 1594 was the approximate year when Byrd began specializing in providing ghostwriting services for mostly university-educated musicologists, who used these publishing credits to obtain music positions at churches such as the Westminster Abbey, or at Court. An Oxford paper-degree helped “Thomas Morley” become basically the first non-priest Gospeller at the Chapel Royal.

The section on “Morley’s” Ballets (1595) describes the fiscal challenges Morley encountered when the music-monopoly temporarily transitioned from Byrd’s direct control to his. “John Dowland’s” First Book of Songs or Airs (1597) is explained as a tool that helped Dowland obtain an absurdly high 500 daler salary from King Christian IV of Denmark in 1600, and his subsequent equally absurd willingness to settle for a £21 salary in 1612 to become King James I’s Lutenist. And the seemingly innocuous publication of “Michael Cavendish’s” 14 Airs in Tablature to the Lute (1598) is reinterpreted, with previously neglected evidence, as actually a book that was more likely to have been published in 1609, as part of the propaganda campaign supporting Lady Arabella Stuart’s succession to the British throne; the attempt failed and led to Arabella’s death during a hunger-strike in the Tower, and to the closeting of Airs. “William Shakespeare’s” The Passionate Pilgrim (1599) has been dismissed by scholars as only containing a few firmly “Shakespearean” poems, in part because nearly all of its 20 poems had appeared under other bylines. Passionate’s poems 16, 17, 19 and 20 are included, with an explanation of the divergent—“Ignoto”, “Shakespeare” and “Marlowe”—bylines they were instead assigned to in England’s Helicon (1600).

Scholars have previously been at a loss as to identity of the “John Bennet” of the Madrigals (1599), and this mystery is solved with the explanation that this byline is referring to Sir John Bennet (1553-1627) whose £20,000 bail, was in part sponsored with a £1,200 donation from Sir William Byrd. “John Farmer’s” First Set of English Madrigals (1599) is reinterpreted as a byline that appears to have helped Farmer continue collecting on his Organist salary physically appearing for work, between a notice of absenteeism in 1597 and 1608, when the next Organist was hired. “Thomas Weelkes’” Madrigals (1600) is reframed as part of a fraud that managed to advance Weelkes from a menial laborer £2 salary at Winchester to a £15 Organist salary at Chichester. He was hired at Chichester after somehow finding around £30 to attain an Oxford BA in Music in 1602, in a suspicious parallel with the Dean William Thorne of Chichester’s degree-completion from the same school; this climb was followed by one of the most notorious Organist tenures, as Weelkes was repeatedly cited for being an absentee drunkard, and yet Dean Thorne never fired him. “Richard Carlton’s” Madrigals (1601) also appears to be an inoffensive book, before the unnoticed by scholars “Mus 1291/A” is explained as torn-out prefacing pages that had initially puffed two schemers that were involved in the conspiracy of Biron in 1602.

The British Library describes Hand D in “Addition IIc” of Sir Thomas More as “Shakespeare’s only surviving literary manuscript”; this section explains Byrd’s authorship of verse fragments, such as “Addition III”, and Percy’s authorship of the overall majority of this censored play; the various handwritings and linguistic styles in the More manuscript are fully explained. “Michael Drayton’s” Idea (1603-1619) series has been explained as depicting an autobiographical life-long obsession with the unnamed-in-the-text “Anne Goodere”, despite “Drayton’s” apparent split-interest also in a woman called Matilda (1594) and in male lovers in some sprinkled male-pronoun sonnets. “Michael East’s” Second Set of Madrigals (1606) is one of a few music books that credit “Sir Christopher Hatton” as a semi-author due to their authorship at his Ely estate; the many implications of these references are explored. “Thomas Ford’s” Music of Sundry Kinds (1607) serves as a gateway to discuss a group of interrelated Jewish Court musicians, included Joseph Lupo (a potential, though impossible to test, ghostwriter behind the Byrd-group), and open cases of identity-fraud, such as Ford being paid not only his own salary but also £40 for the deceased “John Ballard”.

“William Shakespeare’s” Sonnets (1609) are discussed as one of Byrd’s mathematical experiments, which blatantly do not adhering to a single “English sonnet” formula, as they include deviations such as poems with 15 lines, six couplets, and a double-rhyme-schemes. The poems that have been erroneously assigned to “Robert Devereux” are explained as propaganda to puff his activities as a courtier, when he was actually England’s top profiteer from selling over £70,000 in patronage, knighthoods and various other paper-honors. “Orlando Gibbons’” or “Sir Christopher Hatton’s” First Set of Madrigals and Motets (1612) describes the lawsuit over William Byrd taking over a Cambridge band-leading role previously held by William Gibbons, who in retaliated by beating up Byrd and breaking his instrument. This dispute contributed to Byrd and Harvey’s departure from Cambridge. Byrd’s peaceful life in academia appears to be the period that Byrd was thinking back to in 1612, as he was reflecting on his approaching death in the elegantly tragic “Gibbons’” First songs.

The first verse English translation of the Book of Job, and a fantasy epic poem about the woeful love between the Woodman and the Bear.

Computational, handwriting, and other types of evidence proves that Josuah Sylvester ghostwrote famous dramas and poetry, including the first “William Shakespeare”-bylined book Venus and Adonis (1593), the “Robert Greene”-bylined Orlando Furioso (1594) and the two “Mary Sidney”-assigned translations of Antonie (1592) and Clorinda (1595). Sylvester is also the ghostwriter behind famously puzzling attribution mysteries, such as the authorship of the anonymous “Shakespeare”-apocrypha Locrine (1595), and behind controversial productions such as the “Cyril Tourneur”-bylined Atheist’s Tragedy (1611). All of the famous texts that Sylvester ghostwrote have previously been modernized and annotated.

In contrast, most of Sylvester’s many volumes of self-attributed works have remained unmodernized and thus inaccessible to modern scholars. This neglect is unwarranted since under his own name, Sylvester served as the Poet Laureate between 1606-12 under James I’s eldest son, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales. This volume addresses this scholarly gap by translating two works that capture Sylvester’s central authorial tendencies. As “John Vicars’” poetic biography argues, Sylvester was a “Christian-Israelite” or a Jew who converted to Christianity, which caused his exile from his native England and his early death abroad. Sylvester’s passion for his Jewish heritage is blatant in the percentage of texts in his group that are based on books in the Old Testament, including the “George Peele”-bylined Love of King David (1599) and the “R. V.”-bylined Odes in Imitation of the Seven Penitential Psalms (1601). This volume presents the first Modern English translation of the only verse Early Modern English translation of the Book of Job. The original Hebrew version’s dialogue is in verse, so that it can be sung or recited during services, and yet there still have not been any scholarly attempts to translate the Old Testament, from versions such as the Verstegan and Harvey-ghostwritten King James Bible, into verse to better approximate this original lyrical structure. Sylvester precisely translates all of the lines and chapters of Job, adding detailed embellishments for dramatic tension and realism. In the narrative, God is challenged by Lucifer to test if Job would remain loyal to God even if he lost his wealth and other blessings; God accepts the challenge and deprives Job of all of his possessions, his family, as well as his health. Job is devastated, but he remains humble and continues to have faith in God. Job’s faith is further challenged by extensive lectures from his friends, who accuse him of suffering because God has judged him to be sinful and in need of punishment.

Sylvester also specialized in dreamlike rewriting and remixing of myths from different cultures, as he does in Orlando Furioso, where the narrative leaps between Africa and India, and warfare leads Orlando to go insane. The title-page of Sylvester’s Woodman’s Bear warns readers of a similar trajectory with the epithet: “everybody goes mad once”. In this epic, Greco-Roman-inspired, mythological rewriting, a Woodman has proven to be uniquely resistant to Cupid’s love-arrows, so Cupid disguises himself in a Bear and makes both the Bear and the Woodman fall into desperate love for each other, out of which the Woodman only escape with a magic potion. Woodman’s Bear has been broadly claimed to have been Sylvester’s autobiographical account of a failed courtship, but the analysis across this volume reaches different conclusions and raises ideas for further inquiry.

John Walker was a Miami undercover narcotics agent in the 1970s. Ten years later, he was in prison for smuggling 12,000 pounds of marijuana. In prison, he connected with a South American drug lord who was still running the family operation from inside the federal pen. Within months of being paroled, John began smuggling again—this time uncut Colombian cocaine. And this time, he put everything on the line: his freedom, his family and, ultimately, his life.

Breaking Midnight: A True Story shines a light on the gritty underbelly of Miami drug trafficking and the danger of leading a double life—as an undercover narc or a smuggler. Written by Lynn Walker based on interviews with her father, John, this is an uncensored, up-close-and-personal account of how a good cop goes bad.

A bite-sized story from the New Testament Bible for parents to read for their kids. It is very engaging. It has life application and helps to bring the Bible into our modern-day, daily lives in a way that children can understand. There are questions that help spark conversation between parents and kids. There is a prayer after one or two stories, and those prayers are tied to the stories.

Note: The prayers are kept on a separate day. This is because kids learn better when stories are repeated. So the idea is for parents to reinforce the stories or reread them to their children before praying. Hearing to forget and hearing to remember are two different things.

Thank you so much.

Series: BlackJack Thriller (2)

"It only takes a second to sin," Father Thomas said. He believes in saving souls, but Charles Balcombe is beyond saving. His control over his killer instinct appears to be weakening. BlackJack has killed again and more questions are being asked of Detective Inspector Munro. He is under increasing pressure to solve the murders, especially when he picks up more cases from Kowloon rather than solving his own.

As Balcombe battles with his demon, a friend asks him to investigate the death of a young woman called Margaret. Was it an accident or did she kill herself? Is the church saving souls by insisting deaths aren't suicide? At first Balcombe thinks it's straightforward but as he digs, other cases reveal an evil in Hong Kong. One that could consume them all.

THE B’NEI MENASHE are certifiably one of the newest, possibly remnants of one of the oldest, and certainly one of the most unusual Jewish communities in the world today. Hailing from a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group known as the Kuki- Mizo that inhabits the remote Himalayan foothills of northeast India, they are equally divided today between India and Israel. Lives of the Children of Manasia is composed of twelve comprehensive oral history interviews with elderly members of the community in Israel.

Conducted in the Mizo and Kuki languages by Isaac Thangjom, the interviews were translated by him into English and edited by Hillel Halkin. Many of the men and women interviewed here were among the founders of the Judaizing movement that led to the formation of the B’nei Menashe community in the early 1970’s. Their individual life stories, remarkable in their own right, narrate a collective drama that until now has been shrouded in myth and misconceptions.

This book reveals how an initially small group of people descended from jungle warriors, illiterate rice farmers, and practitioners of a traditional tribal religion courageously found their way to Judaism; what about the latter attracted them, though they had never before met a real Jew in their lives; and how their fierce attachment to their new faith eventually brought them and many others to Israel, where some five thousand of them live today as full citizens.

An illuminating introduction by Halkin explains the social, cultural, and historical setting that produced the B’nei Menashe, while an afterword presents surprisingly convincing evidence for their contention that they are linked to the biblical tribe of Manasseh – one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel exiled by the Assyrians in the eighth century BCE.

Series: Miss Misery (5)

Sometimes everything goes to hell. Sometimes hell comes to you.

Jessica Moore has one hell of a to-do list. Number one: Bring the fury who attacked her friends to justice. Number two: Obtain the last item required to re-lock a magical prison. And number three: Save the world by actually re-locking the damn thing before its demonic prisoners escape.

But with a red sky enveloping the earth, humans and nonhumans alike are panicking, and the fanatical fringe is growing violent. Anti-magers—humans who want to destroy all things magical—are waging war on Jess and her friends.

And there’s still the problem of the key. It’s the last item Jess and her allies are searching for, but legend claims it’s trapped within the prison itself. Someone will have to go in there and face down the demons to find it.

Naturally, guess whose strange power is the only thing that might succeed? Even with Lucen at her side and a Gryphon army at her back, this might be too much for a misery junkie to handle.

Mickey Collins, son of a drug-dealer, relates his amazing tale from childhood to something approaching being an adult. The streets of Cork, Ireland, is where Mickey learns fine skills such as pre-teen drinking, shoplifting and breaking & entering. However, after Mickey disobeys his mother once too often, a lifetime of pain (or ‘adventure’ as Mickey would see it) descends upon him, as he bounces from one State service to another.

A kaleidoscopic tour through twenty years of modern Ireland’s discarded dregs of society ensues, where we discover an underworld of petty crime and passions-fulfilled to the detriment of all else − most significantly (though not exclusively) to the perpetrators themselves.

…But there is something else. As Mickey’s mother, Tanya Collins, manipulates everyone & everything whilst building her drug empire, Mickey’s navigation of his world reveals a curiously innocent and almost pure Humanity in this most unlikely of places.

A fragmentary comedy about the corruption of the judicial and monarchical systems in charge of granting aristocratic titles based on appearance instead of merit.

This comedy includes several devices that are uniquely typical of Jonson’s authorial style, including the extraordinary number of five marriages in the resolution, and the intricate descriptions of the significance of outward appearance (in dance, clothing, makeup and gossip) in distinguishing anybody in Britain as superior or inferior. At the onset of the plot, Sir William is hoping to marry the wealthy-widow, Lady Beaufield, to gain access to her fortune. In parallel, Simpleton’s wealthy-widow Mother is hoping to marry a knight so she can gain the aristocratic title of a Lady. Meanwhile, Simpleton is courting Beaufield’s daughter, Lucy, who clearly favors her other suitor, Newman. Simpleton devises several schemes to win an advantage by hiring jeerers to ridicule Newman, as well as hiring Voluble to give Newman a false prophecy to manipulate him toward whoring and drinking. By the end, Simpleton even attempts to kidnap Lucy to force her into marriage.

In the background of these various courtships, the French dance teacher, Galliard, is tutoring his wealthy students in dance. And Voluble and Nice are teaching proper manners, dress and other outward signs of aristocratic breeding in their Female Academy. These seemingly silly and pretty tropes are clouding the fact that Galliard confesses he has escaped being executed for attempting to overthrow the French King in 1632, and Voluble is repeatedly accused of witchcraft. More importantly, the narrative explains the corrupt process that was involved in bribing judges and administrators into allowing a wealthy gentry landowner, like Mother, to purchase her way into the aristocracy through a vacant baronet title. Mother merely has to choose between going through the ladyfying schooling herself, or completely negating her burden by hiring an actress, such as Nice (the chambermaid), to pretend to be her in public appearances. The dialogue refers to several people who were granted aristocratic titles by this corrupt process, starting with the 1st Lord of Lorne of Scotland in 1439, and as late as the Duke of Buckingham in 1623. Many of the contextual references mention the Percys’ Northumberland estate’s Scottish neighbors, as well as other Percy-associated places and people in the Buckingham Palace and Newcastle; thus, this play is likely to have been closeted by Percy until after his death because Jonson was criticizing the Percys’ involvement in these title-purchasing schemes.

Percy (as the primary ghostwriter) and Jonson (as the secondary) had written about knighthood-purchasing and James I’s trade in titles to his Scottish and Scottish-adjacent comrades in Eastward Ho! These frank confessions about corruption in the monarchy led to Jonson’s temporary imprisonment in 1605. This volume includes translations of all of Jonson’s authentic letters. These include the letter he wrote in 1605, during this Eastward imprisonment, wherein Jonson asks Percy to help free him from being implicated in seditious remarks that he claims were Percy’s portion of the composition. The annotations across Variety provide a myriad of scholarly revelations, supported with precise evidence. One of these is new proof for the misdating for several antique-like forgeries of broadsheet ballads. Introductory sections explain why this play has been mis-attributed to “William Cavendish”, and the complex biographical overlaps between the Jonson and “John Donne” bylines and handwriting styles. The historical introduction to the types of dance-instructors Variety is satirizing is assisted by the translation from French into English of fragments from Apologie de la Danse or Apology for the Dance by “Par F. de Lauze” (1623).

In the isolated city of Lexum, following your heart's desire against the will of the collective could be deadly. But for seventeen-year-old Breel Sorep, the urge to express herself is just too tempting.

With her passion for drawing on the list of banned activities, Breel is devastated when she receives her final warning. Art offers an escape from the harsh realities of her life, but to be caught once more would have dire consequences for the rebellious teen.

If only Uncle Famut's stories of the fictional world of Intercludae were real. Then Breel could be free to express her creativity instead of being trapped in the field of computer programming—a career chosen for her as a small child.

Starting in a new role, Breel encounters Cafrec, a co-worker with striking sparkling blue eyes, who's unlike anyone the young woman has ever met. Together, the pair begin to decipher a series of clues which seem to reveal that Intercludae may not be so fictional after all.

Using her programming skills and cunning, Breel must decide how far she's willing to go to have the freedom she so desperately wants. But as Breel and Cafrec try to escape the forces of oppression, can Breel leave everything she knows and risk her own life for the faint hope of finally finding freedom?

When cancer strikes, the same body that you trusted has produced cells that are ready to kill you. The horrors of chemo, surgery, hospitalization, and everything that is thrown at you with the aim of making you better, breaks you physically and mentally. It would be so amazing if you were cured and never got it again. Unfortunately, that is not a guarantee anyone can make. But should that stop you from living?

In My Race Against Death Shoba Rao shares the most important lesson she has learned as a three-time cancer survivor and a kidney transplant recipient: You are not your disease. It does not define your life, rather it reminds you to live life to the fullest extent.

This book is for all patients who would hopefully gain some insight on how to tackle a disease like cancer both physically and emotionally. It's also for family and friends looking for advice on how to best support their loved ones through this journey.

Chicago director Dwayne Finnegan has a long shot at the big time and only two obstacles: himself and everyone he knows.

Dwayne's got an idea of how to direct Shakespeare's least-favorite play that could set him on the road to Broadway. We're talking Bob Fosse choreography, Jimi Hendrix guitars, and the hottest cast in the city of Chicago. But when the show's producer cuts out with the cash, Dwayne decides to produce the show himself, putting his marriage and his meager finances at risk. What could go wrong?

Richard Engling knows Chicago's famously chaotic and glorious storefront theater scene like the back of his hand. It's the perfect setting for absurd comic hi-jinx." —Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune, author of Rise Up! and Bigger, Brighter, Louder

"A scrappy, big-hearted backstage comedy layered with mordant wit and full of a deep, abiding love for its characters..." —Adam Langer, author of Cyclorama

"Hilarious, witty, touching, intelligent, and spot-on. Engling's novel about the many joys and incessant headaches of running a storefront Chicago theater is truth that could only be told as believably as it is, as fiction. The characters pulse with life, conflict, tons of drama, and humanity. Entire chapters are laugh-out-loud funny, and issues of marriage, friendship, loyalty, and the nature of theater and art flow through every sentence. A one-sit read, I promise!" —Nadeem Zaman, author of The Inheritors and Up in the Main House and Other Stories

"Richard Engling is undoubtedly a writer's writer. It's hard not to read him without marveling at the skill of construction. But the technical virtuosity of Give My Regards to Nowhere is performed like prestidigitation: it's a magic trick performed in plain view. The novel is comic, wise, and riveting. It gives us the theatrical world, but also the world of anyone whose ever struggled against the odds. But Engling is also a reader's writer, those who read him without fretting about how these marvels are executed will turn each page with the thrill of discovery and immersion in this richly entertaining novel." —Liam Heneghan, author of Beasts at Bedtime

Their marriage is saved when Joe discovers an unlikely friend and mentor in the form of a homeless philosopher who chose a life on the streets of Chicago after losing his own wife to cancer.

Although Frank, the homeless philosopher, advises Joe on how to work through this specific tragedy, he goes on to teach him many important lessons about what it means to be a good man, a husband, a father, and more. This story shows the world through Joe's eyes as we not only witness his personal struggles and growth, but also as he builds a beautiful friendship and learns Frank's story of how he came to live on the streets and exist to serve others.

This uniquely crafted story leaves no stone unturned and confronts many of the most difficult and uncomfortable topics imaginable, invoking a range of emotions but ultimately leaving you with the taste of hope.

This story belongs to all of us. It is a story of what it means to be human.

Jim made a vow to honor the debt he owes to Kyle, the mortal who slew Zachariah Locke, the dreaded Big Crimson and the chief of a vampire clan, before Locke could end Jim’s Undead life. But it is a debt that could cost him everything to repay. Jennifer thinks it’s cool to have a vampire living next door, little does she know how dark her summer nights are about to become.

Locke’s clan of blood drinkers is coming to avenge their maker, and each sunset brings them closer to the object of their wrath. One of them was once a child who played in the bright daylight, but who is now known as Little Angel, so named by the thing that made her into a fellow creature of the eternal night. She is determined to avenge her maker, and if she needs any help, then she is not above making a few new creatures of the night herself. Far worse than Little Angel is Luther, who not only craves the taste of human blood, but the flesh as well, and he is not far behind her. What is worse, Luther has bargained for help in his mission of vengeance from some who walk openly under the noonday sun. For Kyle, Jim, and Jennifer, too, things are about to take a turn.

Climate change brings up a wide range of emotions. All The Climate Feels is a poetic exploration of the climate crisis, climate justice, and how it feels to be alive in times of profound change.

Treesong's climate change poetry draws on his experiences as a father, husband, author, talk radio host, climate communicator, and Real-Life Superhero. All poems are free verse with style influenced by a combination of literary poets and the spoken word stylings of the Southern Illinois poetry scene. Tone within and among the poems varies widely, exploring feelings of utter despair, ecstatic inspiration, righteous indignation, somber reflection, moments of humor, and beyond.

This poetry collection helps the reader explore their "climate feels" and reflect on the role of the climate crisis in their lives and the world beyond their doorstep.

Series: Accidental Capers (2)

A disgruntled young chemist. A reformed noble thief. A cranky, middle-aged lord. What could possibly go wrong?

Apprentice chemist Iggy's uncle won't sign her off as competent, even though he trusts her with Project Sapphire: researching a formula to erase forensic evidence. When she finds an alternative route to sign-off, she applies her energy to that, neglecting her assigned duties to do so. In a stroke of luck, this decision leads her to a sponsorship deal, but her benefactor has secrets she's unaware of.

After his recent adventure abroad, Lord Richard Hayes is now home: and on probation to keep his seat on the Council of Lords. He has plentiful funds, detailed instructions and a boring plan for honest living, but despite his efforts to fit in, everything starts to go wrong. He loses his only household servant, he antagonises a young chemist the first time he meets her, and he gets blamed for a burglary he didn't even do. The only bright spot is that making new enemies keeps life from being completely dull.

Stiff-necked Lord Huntley Angus detests frivolous young nobles who dodge responsibility for their actions. But when he secretly pawns his wife's jewelry to pay an unexpected debt, he gets entangled in a spiralling set of misfortunes.

Two men. One enigmatic path to follow. One night to succeed. One powerful enemy to face...

For the past decade, police homicide consultant Mark Gilliam has been wasting his life with corpses, drugs, and alcohol. Things weren’t always like this. Ten years ago, he was a soldier, a husband, a . . . father. But it’s what he deserves. He couldn’t protect his son from the monsters that took him away.

For the past decade, Jason Roneros has been living a reclusive life, forced to spend the rest of his days in isolation. Things weren’t always like this. Ten years ago, he was a well-respected author, a fighter, a . . . dreamer. But it’s what he deserves. He trusted these monsters.

For the past decade, Mark and Jason haven’t seen each other. But everything is about to change...

A murder brings them together one night, trapping them in the streets of Chicago in search of redemption down a cryptic path that could unlock the darkest scandal in history. As the path unrolls secrets buried in great works of art and philosophical writings, the shadiest aspects of the human soul come to the surface. Soon, the two men realize that those hunting them, closing in with each passing minute, are equally dangerous as the ghosts of the past . . .

Time ticks down to the Reinvocation...

In Lahivar, Carin and Culy prepare to track down the remaining hearthstones even as in Haveranth, Lyari works to decimate the life that is finally returning to the Northlands.

More than life, magic itself returns in force-and that's not the only invasion.

Carin's narrow escape from Khardish rebels has left enemies in her wake, and they will stop at nothing to find her, even if it means following her to her homeland. As an army closes in on Lahivar from the west and the looming threat of the Reinvocation rises to the south, those fighting to restore balance to the world may be the only thing that stands between their people and annihilation.

PI Steve Rockfish’s morning meeting was supposed to focus on a case of straightforward harassment. Two clients had purchased a miniature golf course and instantly became victims of vandalism and projected intolerance.

But as the team investigates, a neighborhood’s bigoted knee jerk reaction to a new sapphic-owned business, is in fact a laser focused plan of intimidation. Before anyone can yell FORE!, violence litters the front nine after Rockfish uncovers the real perpetrator, their actual motive, and dangerous accomplices.

Soon, an old nemesis returns to raise the stakes with plans of revenge and domination. Now facing a battle on two fronts, Rockfish finds his allies thinning at the worst possible time, and recklessly goes on the offensive.  

The back nine takes Rockfish and McGee on a frenetic ride from a corporate boardroom, across cyberspace, and to the 19th hole where a long overdue showdown will change everything for the partners, for better and worse.

“On a Saturday morning, Hans Gastop felt what seemed to be a sign of the disease. The fear of being discovered invaded him. How long would he have before they caught him? Could he fool the authorities? Could he resist the illness alone? How should he act from that moment on? The doubts produced in him a hitherto unknown state of anguish, sensing his life would never be the same. A correct intuition, but still very distant from the overwhelming dimension of what he was about to live.”

Hans Gastop is a young and naive inhabitant of Aram, a country that has reached an unprecedented degree of scientific and social development, but is plagued by an inexplicable disease that takes away people's will to live. Pushed by circumstances, Hans agrees to research a cure, going beyond himself and everything known on a journey toward the mystery of life.

Freely inspired by Hans Castorp, the main character of the novel The Magic Mountain, by Thomas Mann, Gastop proves to be an unlikely hero, in a novel that is never what it seems.

A sweeping novel of international intrigue about the Syrian Civil War, the failure of the West to save the Syrian people, and how that inaction against the Russian incursion emboldened Putin to attack Ukraine.

In 2012, President Obama declared that if Assad used chemical weapons in Syria, that would cross a red line. A year later, Assad murdered a thousand people in East Damascus with sarin, and the West did not respond. Soon after, the Russians vastly augmented their presence in Syria, built a huge air base to add to their warm water port on the Syrian Mediterranean and from those runways bombed the Free Syrian Army across the breadth of Syria.

Based around these true events, The Syrian Sunset tells the tale of a fictional Syrian Military Intelligence general who wants a better Syria, and the events that led to the death of 500,000 civilians, 5 million people fleeing Syria, another 15 million being displaced internally.

By the author of The Damascus Cover, now a major motion picture starring Sir John Hurt and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Have you ever worked in a museum, a gallery or on a heritage site?

Do you have a suspicion that your organisation may be slightly idiosyncratic?

Is it possible at times you think the silos are unbreakable, the projects crazy and the cake too expensive?

Then welcome to The Museum of Forward Planning (MOfP)

Opened in 2019 at the height of the global pandemic, Geoff, his team of volunteers and the Catering (Pork Scratchings) Sub-committee, work hard to ensure every visitor is happy. Now they share their insight to help you if you find yourself dealing with equally absurd challenges in your real museum.

This management support book is divided into four key areas:

All about us

Focuses on MOfP and our aim to ensure that the operational challenges of museums are 'actively forgotten and not passively ignored'. We present a vision you can't see for a future you can't imagine as we take you through re-re-imaging the museum for the twenty-first century.

All about you

How do you fit in? Should you even try? In part 2 we explore museum well-being, look at motivational models and the importance of the 'Career Circle of Fire', providing vaguely developed models which you can apply as you move through your own career in the museum industry.

All about them

Oddly, part 3 considers our visitors. How do you attract them? What are the most common and therefore frequently repeated mistakes when it comes to developing learning outcomes, exhibition designs, or even trying to get people to look at your boring old collections? We explore a range of ways to try and keep the ungrateful visitor happy.

Central to our work is the unique Audience Segregation model and our Personas - which everyone ignores.

All about cash

You can't do it without money though can you? And you get less every year as a museum manager. Part 4 examines the commercial aspect of museum management. Skating briefly over the challenges of Membership schemes, the difficulties of creating interesting merchandise that sells (postcards), and the approach to catering.

Crucially we look at the design and development of museum capital projects and reflect upon why architects appear to hate museum operational management.

It's one long joke clearly. But there are grains of truth in here - much like your own museum's mission statement.

Is there any entirely self-evident truth? Set in Melbourne, Australia and then Burma at the turn of the last century, You Can Be A King If You Are Brave raises this dilemma through the eyes of Adam Townsend, a beguiling adolescent boy from a wealthy family in Melbourne, Australia.

Outwardly Adam is blessed with sublime good looks and a keen intellect, yet he struggles with family problems caused by an abusive father. Adam begins to build a relationship with Geoffrey Lang, one of the most charismatic teachers in his new school, Wellington Grammar, an exclusive boys' college. Geoff understands the problems Adam is facing. He accepts him into the school bushwalking group, through which Adam builds friendships with his peers and opens up to Geoff about his struggles. The bond between student and teacher develops in ways that neither expects but is brought to a tragic and senseless end.

As a man, Adam finally discovers his purpose, working to curtail poverty in exotic Burma, a country locked in the depths of a military dictatorship. In Rangoon, he discovers things about himself that have remained hidden and suppressed, brought to light through friendship with a group of adolescent boys from the streets and one in particular who steals his heart.

They are to choose between freedom and obligation, fate and desire, right and duty. Which path shall they pick when dreams turn to reality and legends come alive?

Arron Grethsen wakes up in a dungeon. Why he ended up behind bars remains a mystery that even the two-faced warden who comes to taunt him cannot unravel. All he knows is that life has little value to him as it is.

Freedom looms just behind the corner for Toren Eddesen, but the king isn’t yet ready to let him off the hook. He has barely dropped by outside the palace walls as the Crowns Guard besieges him, carrying out an order to bring him back to the court.

The swallows’ flight ends up in a mess that seems to tear an unbridgeable chasm between Lady Irana and her loyal knight. However, gloomy companions appear hardly a problem when the consequence of a half-forgotten dream becomes evident.

Si has sido nombrada recientemente para un puesto directivo con algunos años de experiencia en tu haber... puede que te cueste acostumbrarte a que tus compañeros te llamen "jefa".

Sin embargo, no debes tener miedo de asumir funciones de liderazgo: te has ganado todo el derecho a superarte y además, tu jefe ha notado algo excepcional en ti, así que no te subestimes.

Todo lo que necesitas es resolver cómo liderar a tu equipo, y estarás superando los objetivos trimestrales, antes de que te des cuenta.

En la Guía del nuevo gerente, descubrirá:

  • Cómo superar el síndrome del impostor y sentirse cómodo liderando personas, incluso si no tiene tanta experiencia como todos los demás.
  • Cómo evaluar sus fortalezas, talentos y atributos naturales, luego usarlos para aumentar su influencia en el lugar de trabajo.
  • Una comprensión profunda del lado humano del liderazgo que no encontrará en ningún otro lugar para ayudarlo a desarrollar sus habilidades de liderazgo.
  • Cómo extraer información de las personas de una manera suave y auténtica y utilizar la retroalimentación para progresar dentro de su organización.
  • Una guía de coaching y tutoría para ayudarlo a interactuar más con los miembros de su equipo y reducir la rotación de empleados.
  • Cómo mantener sus emociones bajo control y evitar que nublen sus decisiones de liderazgo.
  • Cómo gestionar conflictos y ayudar a los miembros de su equipo a colaborar como profesionales.
  • Cómo presentar como si hubieras nacido parado frente a un podio, usando las palabras correctas cuando te diriges a tus compañeros.
  • Cómo usar sus poderes de liderazgo para ganar credibilidad en el lugar de trabajo y desarrollar el carácter de un líder.
  • Cómo liderar un equipo con miembros mayores y más experimentados y hacer que te respeten y consulten antes de tomar cualquier decisión.

……. y mucho más.

Liderar un equipo al principio de tu carrera, es una excelente oportunidad para sobresalir significativamente en tu campo. Simon Sinek dijo una vez: "Un jefe tiene un título. Un líder tiene a la gente".

Liderar un equipo en sus primeros años de carrera es una excelente oportunidad para sobresalir significativamente en su campo.

Si te sientes inadecuado para el rol, no hay mejor manera de solucionarlo que aprender lo más posible sobre liderazgo.

En este libro, aprenderás a ser una líder de la gente. Escrita pensando en las nuevas gerentes femeninas, esta guía contiene todas las herramientas, trucos, consejos, plantillas y respuestas para brindarte la confianza y el conocimiento que has estado buscando.
