As The Great War rages overseas, eleven-year-old Lorna Whittle and her four sisters fight their own battles in the heart of Tasmania’s Midlands. Left with their cold and distant mother while their gentle father heads to war, the Whittle girls unleash their mischief amongst the wild countryside surrounding their grandparent’s farmhouse —painting cows, brewing stink bombs, and waging war on rules of every kind. But when their father’s first letter arrives, Lorna begins to suspect they’ve been told a lie. Could it be that their father isn’t fighting on the battlegrounds of Europe after all? Then comes the mysterious new governess — French, flawless, and far too curious about the Whittles’ lives. Why has she come to Australia? And what connection could she possibly have to their missing father? Set against the stark beauty of the Midlands, this haunting mystery entwines unexpected twists and turns in a story that celebrates love, forgiveness, and the bonds of sisterhood. A wonderful, funny and heartwarming tale from the multi-award winning author of Aster’s Good, Right Things.

This is the first book written for lay readers that demystifies medically unexplained symptoms, empowering readers with answers and techniques to promote healing by recognizing the brain's power to influence bodily functions.

Medically unexplained symptoms account for 40 percent of primary care visits in the United States, yet a “biological” cause is discovered only 25 percent of the time, leaving both patients and their providers frustrated.

People who experience medically unexplained symptoms often feel unheard, marginalized, or even dismissed by their medical providers. Physicians strive to help people, yet the difficulty they face trying to determine the causes of symptoms that do not easily fit into neat diagnostic boxes can lead to frustration and helplessness. Diagnosing cases of medically unexplained symptoms can lead to an overuse of an already overburdened health system as patients are referred from one specialist to another in an attempt to find answers to their puzzling constellations of symptoms.

Dr. Susan Trachman, a specialist in psychosomatic medicine and the writer of the immensely popular Psychology Today blog It's Not Just in Your Head, has seen firsthand her patients’ frustration. Her book, It’s Not Just in Your Head, goes in depth and offers answers and workable solutions by teaching readers about different types of symptoms and how to explain them. Divided into major illness groups—including cardiac, gastrointestinal, infectious disease, and autoimmune disorders—this book will empower readers to be their own Sherlock Holmes by giving them the tools they need. Real patient stories, evidence-based research, and valuable takeaways round out this much-needed work.]]> 13 02 Susan B.

It provides a clear and compelling exploration of the brain–gut connection, an area that has long been enigmatic within gastroenterology. Dr. Trachman skillfully translates complex neurogastroenterological concepts into accessible language, grounding her explanations in sound, evidence-based research. Her ability to make the science understandable while maintaining clinical rigor makes this book both informative and reassuring for patients and clinicians alike.

 “What truly sets it apart from others is Dr. Trachman’s compassionate, patient-centered perspective. Drawing on her extensive expertise in psychosomatic medicine, she gives a voice to individuals with medically unexplained symptoms and functional bowel disorders—patients who are often misunderstood or dismissed. By validating their experiences and integrating the psychological and physiological aspects of gut health, this book offers clarity, credibility, and hope, making it a valuable and worthwhile investment for any patient seeking a deeper understanding and meaningful insight into their condition.”

Adams, board-certified gastroenterologist and physician executive, and former assistant clinical professor of medicine at The George Washington University]]> 08 02 It’s Not Just in Your Head— elucidating, edifying, and riveting reading! This is a landmark book for all of us who focus on the mind–body connection professionally and for the clients we treat. Susan’s straightforward and sure-footed command of complex topics makes this work important for those with medically unexplained symptoms and for everyone who is a human body. The content, which covers key psychosomatic processes across organ systems, is relevant for all of us, essential to understanding the complex biopsychosocial choreography of being human.”

When young Rolando Perez falls to his death from a cliff outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, the mysteries immediately begin to accumulate. Was he pushed or did he jump? What might Rolando have been so desperate to protect that he would sacrifice himself? And what does a colorful concha pastry have to do with any of this?

In the midst of the investigation, Professor Ilan Stavans arrives in Santa Fe to give a lecture about the area’s long-buried Jewish history. He’s looking forward to relaxing afterward with an evening at the opera, but his presentation on “crypto-Jews” attracts unexpected attention, and soon Ilan is drawn into a desperate race to find the long-lost documents that might hold the key to Rolando’s death. His amateur sleuthing leads him to taco joints, desert ranches, soaring cathedrals, and, finally, deep into the region’s past, where he encounters Luis de Carvajal, also called “El Iluminado.” In a sixteenth-century tale of martyrdom that eerily echoes Rolando’s, Carvajal fled Spain for colonial Mexico at the height of the Spanish Inquisition, searching for his religious heritage—a hunt for which he, like Rolando, would pay the ultimate price.

In El Iluminado, esteemed literary critic Ilan Stavans and author and illustrator Steve Sheinkin present a secret history of religion in the Americas, showing how thousands of European refugees have left a trail of ghostly footprints—and troves of mysteries—across the American Southwest. This paperback edition includes a new afterword recounting the amazing events that occurred after the original publication, including the real-life discovery of the long-lost memoir of Luis de Carvajal and its restoration to Mexico.]]> 13 02 Ilan Stavans is the Lewis-Sebring Professor of Humanities and Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College, the cofounder and publisher of Restless Books, and the academic director of the Great Books Summer Program.

Ron Dungan, like many fly-fishers, can be obsessive. Although decades of fishing trips have led him to encounter snakes, bears, and treacherous terrain, his main focus is always the fish—how to find them, how to outsmart them, and how to hook them.

In twenty-seven essays, Dungan takes us on a journey down bad roads and backcountry streams. Each tells a tale about fishing but also about hunting dogs, death, public-land policy, the trap of materialism, and accelerating environmental damage. This last becomes a new obsession. Fly-fishing in the arid Southwest has always been precarious, but how has fly-fishing changed, and what further impacts will climate change and resource extraction have?

Seventh and Central is a photographic tribute to Albuquerque’s vibrant lowrider culture—an immersive visual journey through a tradition rooted in family, art, and community. Featuring more than 130 stunning photographs in both full color and black and white, this collection documents an important expression of identity, creativity, and belonging. From chrome bumpers to custom paint, lowriders are more than vehicles—they are rolling works of art and symbols of pride. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, especially along the iconic stretch of Route 66 known as Central Avenue, the lowrider scene pulses with resilience, history, and love.

In August 1929, Spanish poet Federico García Lorca left New York City to spend ten days with his friend and lover Philip Cummings at a lakeside cottage in northern Vermont. Lorca in Vermont tells the story of two young men with mismatched goals and expectations: Lorca, already well established in his career, who sought a sustained romantic relationship with another man, and Cummings, a new college graduate eight years his junior, who had no interest in long-term commitment or in challenging social conventions. Based on over a decade of research, Lorca in Vermont explores the full course of Lorca’s relationship with Cummings, an affair that spanned three years and two continents. Combining unique access to primary sources, extensive original research, and a fresh analysis of published sources, the book describes not only the pair’s history as a couple but also the suppression of their relationship by Lorca scholars after the poet’s tragic death in 1936. Perhaps most importantly, it reveals previously unrecognized links between the disappointment and loss Lorca experienced in his relationship with Cummings and at least eight of the poems in his landmark collection Poet in New York, a work that has long intrigued and inspired other writers. The book brilliantly blends compelling new findings and an engaging narrative style in a page-turning tale that is a must read for anyone interested in Lorca and his legacy.]]> 13 02 Patricia A.

Alison Fields places Lone Star in a western film framework and emphasizes Lone Star's ability to highlight the conflicts between socially entrenched borderlands history and its multifaceted reality.

Filmmaker John Sayles has been a key voice in independent cinema since the 1970s, interrogating American legends by retelling stories about class, race, labor, sexuality, history, and violence.

Lone Star, released in 1996, was ahead of its time in exploring the prevailing legends of the Borderlands through the intersectionality of Black, Chicano, and women’s narratives. Set in the fictional small town of Frontera on the Texas/Mexico border, the film opens with the discovery of a decades-old skeleton on a rifle range—the remains of racist and corrupt former sheriff Charlie Wade (Kris Kristofferson). It had long been presumed that Wade was driven from town by Buddy Deeds (Matthew McConaughey), who succeeded him for a long tenure as Frontera’s beloved sheriff. The discovery of Wade’s remains prompts current sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), who had always lived in his father’s shadow, to question Buddy’s legacy and his involvement in Wade’s death and to look to the testimonies of the poor, the dispossessed, and the overlookedthe very people the late Sheriff Wade had victimized.

In the first book-length examination of Lone Star, Fields situates the film firmly in the “new Western history” that has done so much to overturn the century-old Frontier Thesis.]]> 13 02 Alison Fields is the acting director of the School of Visual Arts at the University of Oklahoma.

The Ultimate Protest: Malcolm W. Browne, Thich Quang Duc, and the News Photograph That Stunned the World examines how the most unlikely of war correspondents, Malcolm W. Browne, became the only Western reporter to capture Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc’s horrific self-immolation on June 11, 1963. Quang Duc made his ultimate sacrifice to protest the perceived anti-Buddhist policies of the Catholic-dominated administration of South Vietnam’s president Ngo Dinh Diem.

Biographer Ray E. Boomhower’s The Ultimate Protest explores the background of the Buddhist crisis in South Vietnam in the spring of 1963 that led to Quang Duc’s self-sacrifice as well as the worldwide reaction to Browne’s photograph, how it affected American policy toward Diem’s government, and the role the image played in the violent coup on November 1, 1963, that deposed Diem and led to his assassination. The book also delves into the dynamics involved in covering the Vietnam War in the early days of the American presence and the pressures placed on the journalists to stop raising doubts about how the war was going. Browne and his colleague David Halberstam shared the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for their work in Vietnam.]]> 13 02 Ray E.

Early in the Prohibition era, Moe Sedway became part of the New York organized crime gang led by Meyer Lansky and Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel. A loyal and highly effective operative for Siegel, Sedway eventually gained monopoly control of the race wire service in Las Vegas and also became an effective casino manager of the Las Vegas Club, El Cortez, and the Rex Club.

A breach in their relationship led to rumors that Sedway had gained Lansky’s approval for a “hit” on Siegel. The unsolved mystery of who murdered Bugsy in 1947 has spawned numerous theories about the identity of the hitman, but regardless of who pulled the trigger, Bugsy’s death opened the way for Moe to flourish as his own man at last. Long overshadowed by Bugsy in the annals of organized crime in America, Moe Sedway is now at last brought out into the light in this riveting tale of the sensational life and times of one of Vegas’s most mysterious and little-known figures.]]> 13 02 Larry D.

Italy’s ability to outflank its more powerful and better-equipped neighbours is nothing new. At the turn of the century Italy made so few cars that its output wasn’t recorded, by 1907 Italian cars and drivers swept the board in the first Grand Prix season. In Superveloce, Peter Grimsdale explores the mystery of how a country with no industrial revolution, hampered by poverty, came to represent an innovation and flair that other countries struggled to match.
 
Grimsdale traces a century of Italian design genius, the rise of great marques such as Ferrari, Fiat and Alfa Romeo. We see the lives of fiercely charismatic and competitive drives like Ascari, Varzi and Nuvolari. Does the secret lie deep in Italy’s cultural heritage – in historic links between art and machine going back to da Vinci? Or is it simply ‘sprezzatura’ – the art of making something difficult look effortlessly easy?

When accepting the honor she said to the Queen, “Not bad for a school drop-out”—a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true. She lived in Beverly Hills where she had a front-row seat to the lives she so accurately captured in her compulsive plotlines.

'A masterful storyteller with an intricate knowledge of his subject' The Daily Telegraph 
'Judd, a veteran spy novelist and former diplomat, knows his way around Britain's world of shadows. He takes the reader straight back to the start of the first world war and the long, smoke-filled, gloomy corridors of Whitehall ministries.' Financial Times
'Veteran spy writer Alan Judd eschews easy drama and obvious cliffhangers in this elegantly written novel.' Literary Review

In the glorious summer of 1914, Emily Grey, a young Cambridge undergraduate, is studying German in Heidelberg. While there she meets Hans, a philosopher with grey eyes and long lashes, who wins her heart and asks her to marry him. When the First World War intervenes, however, she is forced to return to England, leaving Hans behind to join the Imperial Navy.
 
A year later, Emily is recruited to serve in a recently established government department. Commander Cumming, head of His Majesty’s newly-formed Secret Service — sometimes also known as MI6 — is keen to make use of Emily’s language skills. Assigned to interview an informer known as ‘The Dane’, she learns of a plot so audacious it has the potential to change the entire course of the war.
 
At Rosyth in Scotland, the home of the British Grand Fleet, Emily must work undercover to locate the mole the heart of the British naval establishment. Who is the traitor known only by the codename ‘Heiffer’? And can she find him in time to prevent a military catastrophe that would spell disaster for the country she serves?
 
Blending unparalleled authenticity with literary flair and historical accuracy, Alan Judd has created a gripping thriller about the early days of MI6 that cements his reputation as a master of the historical spy novel.

A hilarious, surreal, and devastating journey into the mind of Reality Kahn, a young woman on a quest to be the greatest girlfriend of all time.

It was decreed from the moment she was bornth. Twenty-three-year-old Reality Kahn would embark on a quest so great, so bold. She would become the greatest girlfriend of all time. She would be a zine maker, an aspiring notary, the greatest waterslide commercial actress on the Eastern Seaboard. She would receive messages from the beyond in the form of advice from the esteemed and ancient ladies’ magazine, Girlfriend Weekly.

When she attends a party at a punk venue known as ‘Paradise’, Reality meets Ariel, her fated boyfriend.  Determined to win his affection, she joins a cutting-edge clinical trial created by Dr Zweig Altmann to help her become a perfect girlfriend. She stars in a new commercial. She learns how to become an indelible host. But Reality will also learn that sheer will and determination, and a very open heart, are not always enough to make true love manifest.

At turns laugh-out-loud funny, tragic and jarring, Reality’s quest grows ever more complicated as the men in her life: Ariel, her agent Jethro, and Dr Altmann himself, prove treacherous. 
?
PARADISE LOGIC is a thrilling breakdown of our obsession with authentic true love, and announces Sophie Kemp as a brilliant and wholly original new voice in fiction.

HIGHLY COMMENDED FOR THE 2025 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING 

Paul Lamb is a hedgelayer. He lives in his wagon and works to the rhythm of the seasons, a way of life that has almost vanished. From the end of summer until the birds nest in the spring, he travels the south-west corner of England, maintaining the ancient boundaries of our nation.

As traditional management techniques are lost to modernisation, hedgerows and the wildlife they support have declined dramatically. Paul has devoted decades to saving and rejuvenating this important but often forgotten part of Britian’s countryside.

Of Thorn & Briar is Paul’s spellbinding account of living in partnership with the land, practising his craft with skill and preserving our heritage for future generations. Once you’ve read it, you will never look at the humble hedgerow in the same way again.

‘[A] beguiling book . . . this spare but elegant account is an unexpected delight, and as soothing as a walk down a tree-dappled lane at sunset’ Daily Mail 

‘Gentle, evocative and compelling’ Patrick Barkham, The Oldie

Lizzy Brinks has it all under control. At least that’s what she’d tell you. 

Smart, calm and just a little terrifying, she’s the woman who fixes everything – except her own life. Between caring for her family, wrangling her escape-artist cat Pebble, and keeping her boss Esme Kaminska’s art empire afloat, Lizzy doesn’t have time for romance.

Then Esme connects with influencer Ajax Banks, and Lizzy’s world collides with his charming, infuriating right-hand man, Oliver MacLeod. He’s charming. He’s infuriating. He’s far too good-looking to be trustworthy. And now she’s supposed to work with him on a disastrous new dating app idea.

When a work trip to Venice leads to some disastrous revelations, Lizzy must decide if she can stay cool when her heart’s on the line.

Because sometimes, love is the one thing you just can’t plan for.

For dancer Lira, Latin Ballroom is everything. Whilst her dreams of fame were cut short aged 19, she’s never forgotten the connection she felt dancing with a stranger at the Paris World Championship afterparty 13 years ago. Now, with her younger sisters pursuing their own successful dancing careers, and the responsibility of running the family dance studio falling to her, Lira’s ambitious flame is about to flicker out. Until a chance encounter sees her secretly auditioning for Slow Burn, a new dance show about to embark on a 6-week European tour, and coming face to face with a blast from her past that sends her reeling.
 
Gabriele is the quintessential bad boy of the Latin Ballroom scene. Slim of hip, with long, lean muscles that pop, a chiselled jaw, dark eyes, obscenely long lashes, and a mouth that just won’t give, it's no surprise when he lands the principal male lead role on Slow Burn. But, with just a few weeks to go till the tour starts, he still hasn't found his female co-star. All it takes is one audition to set his world on fire... 
 
On the dance floor they’re smouldering, off it, they’re on fire.

I don't have a list of rules because I'm trying to ruin your fun… I'm trying to keep you from doing small, simple things that could result in your horrific and most agonizing demise.
 
Goat Valley Campground has killed generations of Kate's family. Passed down through the family the land has become old and it calls to creatures of horror and folklore who make it their home and their hunting ground.
 
As the campground manager, Kate has drawn up rules to try and protect her campers – if the man with the skull cup offers you a drink, accept it or you will die a gruesome death; don’t buy ice from the children with no wagon; and of course, never ever follow the lights. Still, not every camper survives their stay.
 
Soon decapitated and exsanguinated campers are the least of Kate’s worries; one of the most dangerous inhabitants of the campground is determined to wrest control and claim the land for himself. Meanwhile, something in the land is shifting, the tides are turning, and the curse that hunts members of her bloodline begins to close in…]]> 08 02 – The Fantasy Hive ]]> 08 02 How to Survive Camping: The Man with No Shadow is the best cozy horror I've read in years.

Every year, Goat Valley Campground manager Kate sends out a pamphlet titled ‘How to Survive Your Camping Experience’. It contains a list of rules to help campers have an enjoyable experience and hopefully survive any encounters with the campground’s other… inhabitants.

But this year it will take more than a list of rules to keep everyone safe. Monsters that were previously lying dormant are starting to stir, and they’re waking up hungry. Among them is the Lady in Chains, a creature feared by both human and inhuman things alike.

Her reappearance creates an upheaval in the balance of power in the campground by renewing an old grudge with the harvesters, who are willing to sacrifice anyone they get their hands on in order to gain an advantage.

With the harvesters on the prowl, the Lady in Chains hunting her down and a sinister spider infestation to deal with, it looks like Kate is going to have her hands full keeping her campers alive, and she’ll need all the allies she can get.

Even if those allies aren’t actually… human.

Based on the popular r/NoSleep Reddit stories, How to Survive Camping is an unputdownable horror series that will terrify you and make you laugh in equal measure.

In a future San Francisco transformed by years of rain, Bo, a 40-year-old lapsed artist, is grieving the community she’s lost to catastrophic flooding. Her friends and family have disappeared or fled, the streets are rivers, and the buildings are falling apart.    

Yet on the day of her planned departure, Bo finds a note slipped under her door: ‘I need help’, it reads. ‘Three days a week, afternoons. Can pay in cash.’       

Unable to bring herself to board the ship that could save her life, Bo instead chooses to answer the note, which turns out to have been written by her neighbour Mia, a 130-year-old “supercentenarian” long abandoned by her own family.

Perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries, with a celebrity twist.

Daisy is back at school, but her super-celebrity cousin Maxxy is STILL sharing her room while filming for a new TV show. And it’s all anyone can talk about! Daisy’s mum is always at the film set with Maxxy, her dad is always busy with work, and her brother Leo is being a teenage tyrant. The only thing keeping Daisy calm are her drama club rehearsals. With only a few weeks to go before the big opening night, Daisy is pouring everything into her performance.

But with Maxxy being a total DIVA, sudden strange feelings towards her floppy-haired co-star Olivier, a HUGE SPOT appearing on her chin, and gossiping girls desperate for Maxxy’s attention, Daisy will have to channel her inner method actor to keep the show on the road.

Drama, BBFs, secrets and theatrics await!]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/88a8a47a-cdce-4b04-90c8-b379002be0d4 01 Simon & Schuster Children's UK SIMO494 Simon & Schuster Children's UK 01 01 Simon & Schuster Children's UK SIMO494 Simon & Schuster UK 02 20260428 01 AU NZ 01 7.795 in 01 198 mm 02 5.118 in 02 130 mm 03 0.602 in 03 15.3 mm 27 15 9781398545670 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20260428 02 17.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 17.99 0.00 20260125 02 20.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 20.99 0.00 20260113 Simon & Schuster UK AU 01 20260428 9781398545953 03 02 1398545953 03 9781398545953 14 19781398545950 15 9781398545953 11 BC B105 Paperback Postman Planet 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Postman Planet</TitleText> <Subtitle>The hilarious new series to get kids reading!</Subtitle> 01 232184821 1 A01 Ben Davis Davis, Ben Ben Davis 2 A12 Yasmin Sheikh Sheikh, Yasmin Yasmin Sheikh 01 eng 160 00 160 03 JUV053020 YNTS 2.1 10 JUV036010 10 JUV019000 10 JUV001000 10 JUV000000 10 JUV001020 10 JUV071000 10 JUV039060 10 JUV001010 12 YFG 12 YFQ 12 YFB 12 YFC 12 YNU 12 YNH 20 young fiction for kids; books for 6 7 8 year old; illustrated fiction; funny; space; black and white; artwork; illustrations; fun; holiday; trip; hilarious; laugh out loud; galaxy; universe; delivering; robot dog; assistant; animal sidekick; space vikings; planetary; intergalactic; orderon; unicorns; grumpy unicorns; bonkers; fun; science; sharing; friendship; teamwork; crew; gang; making friends 21 C3N79 93 YFC 93 YNNZ 93 YNU 93 YFB 93 YFQ 93 YX 93 YFF 93 YFGR 93 YNTT 93 YFP 93 YNXB5 93 YXD 93 YXW 98 5AG 17 03 6 04 99 01 02 – The Times, Children’s Book of the Week

Born with the ability to speak with the dead, Viola hates her magic. It killed her sister, Olivia, and if she doesn’t learn why, it will kill her too. Her only hope lies within the perilous walls of Gorhail Institute of Magic, where Olivia spent her final days.

There, Viola clashes with Sylas, a poison mage whose magic stems from three magical snakes. Immortal, tormented and reckless, Sylas is tethered to a life he never asked for and haunted by guilt for his father's death. His hatred for death mages runs deep, and he’s determined to keep Viola at a distance. But when an attack forces him to heal her, their fates become intertwined by a magical bond that threatens to upend his loyalties – and his common sense.

As more students start turning up dead, Viola and Sylas are drawn into an uneasy alliance that pulls them deeper into Gorhail’s treacherous passageways, where secrets fester beneath the stone and the dead do not rest. And as enemy lines begin to blur and their undeniable attraction grows, Viola and Sylas uncover a chilling conspiracy: someone is hunting mages for their magical relics, and if they can’t uncover the killer in time, Viola will be next.]]> 08 02 Deathbringer is a must-read!’

It’s for the families who feel like they’ve been dropped into a different world without a map. It’s not a guidebook. It’s not a list of tips and tricks. It’s a story. Our story. And maybe, in some small way, it’s yours too.’

James Hunt is the founder of the Stories About Autism community, where hundreds of thousands of people follow his life as a father raising two autistic, non-speaking sons. In Love Needs No Words, he shares what it’s really like to navigate the meltdowns, the sleepless nights and the unexpected challenges – as well as the breakthroughs, the joy and the moments of connection.

This honest memoir about autism parenting from a dad’s perspective offers comfort, solidarity and hope. Written with warmth and understanding, it will help caregivers see that, while life might look different from how they imagined, it can still be filled with growth and love.]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/c3b6dab0-46cc-4891-bd7f-b35500273f5b 01 Gallery UK SIMO788 Gallery UK 01 01 Gallery UK SIMO788 Gallery UK 02 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 8.504 in 01 216 mm 02 5.315 in 02 135 mm 03 0.984 in 03 25 mm 06 15 9781398548619 27 15 9781398548596 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20260512 02 37.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 37.99 0.00 20260125 02 42.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 42.99 0.00 20260125 Gallery UK AU 01 20260512 9781398549227 02 02 1398549223 03 9781398549227 14 19781398549224 15 9781398549227 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Frida Slattery As Herself</TitleText> 01 234622481 1 A01 Ana Kinsella Kinsella, Ana Ana Kinsella 01 eng 496 00 496 03 FIC000000 FA 2.1 01 01 01 02 ‘Gorgeous, immersive… both epic and intimate, funny and wise’ Roisín O'Donnell

‘Took me back to the way I felt when reading Normal People’ Chrissy Ryan, Stylist

You could probably run cities on the energy generated between directors like him and actresses like her.
 
When Frida Slattery and John Reddan meet in a Dublin pub in 2005, neither can imagine how they will come to shape and define each other’s lives.?

Frida is struggling to launch her acting career, while John is already gaining a name for himself as a director. From the first they see in each other potential and the chance to create work that matters, though the lines between collaboration and exploitation, friendship and desire will prove dangerously slippery.

With the financial crisis looming, the next 16 years takes them from Dublin to London, via New York and LA, and through success and disappointment, joy and heartbreak. Their connection is tested and stretched to the point of rupture, but something remains that outlasts both their work and their own shifting perceptions.

FRIDA SLATTERY AS HERSELF is an unforgettable story of love, artistic collaboration, and two people coming of age, together and apart.

‘A gorgeous, immersive story which manages to be both epic and intimate, funny and wise. It is, among many things, a beautiful portrait of Dublin, and a story about difficult love, the lure of ambition and finding your creative voice. Tender and unexpected, the story of Frida Slattery and John Reddan will stay with me for a very long time’ - Roisín O'Donnell, author of NESTING

‘A deft, profound and seemingly effortless portrayal of how a series of artworks – as well as the personal and professional lives of the artists – take shape over sixteen years, spanning the 2008 financial crisis, MeToo, and COVID. Ana Kinsella manages to deliver all the pleasures of a comic-romantic novel, while thinking through a satisfying number of big themes: gender politics and financial precarity, the mysteries of artistic collaboration, and the relentless tug-of-war between freedom and security. Moving, thought-provoking and utterly delightful’ – Elif Batuman, author of THE IDIOT and EITHER/OR

‘I inhaled this consuming and addictive novel about love, artistic agency, and the charged complexities of creation, collaboration and power. Frida Slattery and John Reddan will stay with you long after you close the pages of this utterly absorbing debut’ - Francesca Reece, author of GLASS HOUSES

'An expansive, deeply felt love letter to artistic expression, as compelling and ambitious as it is beautifully written. Ana Kinsella handles big themes – power, desire, success – with great subtlety and skill. I loved it' - LISA OWENS, author of NOT WORKING and NATURAL DISASTER

A dreamy debut novel about the summer love that changes two girls at the edge of adulthood.

In the heat and the green haze that seemed to surround us both like a physical presence, I felt intensely awake.

One afternoon at the start of summer, a teenage girl watches a new girl move in across the street. In Clara, the narrator recognises the same loneliness that she feels herself, but finds tenderness and laughter too. Over hot, languid days spent talking and reading side by side in the garden, the narrator is awakened to the possibility of a true connection with another human being, free of the self-consciousness she feels with others.

Meanwhile, in a distant fictional galaxy, Nadia the space explorer - the protagonist of a children's book series beloved by both girls - traverses the known universe with her companion, Rosa. Their imagined adventures make sense of new and powerful feelings.

First Summer captures the innocence and agony of adolescence and the exquisite promise of love on the cusp of adulthood: a moment where fantasy is still vivid in the mind. This story of the first summer of love echoes throughout the characters’ lives and will change them forever.]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/d56cba81-76aa-4a38-a0be-b36a00272f9c 01 Summit Books UK SIMN055 Summit Books UK 01 01 Summit Books UK SIMN055 Summit Books UK 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 8.504 in 01 216 mm 02 5.315 in 02 135 mm 27 15 9781398551602 06 15 9781398551626 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 02 49.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 49.99 0.00 20260125 02 59.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260125 Summit Books UK AU 01 20260512 9781398552425 02 02 1398552429 03 9781398552425 14 19781398552422 15 9781398552425 11 BC B106 Paperback - Trade paperback (UK) <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>RABBITBOX</TitleText> 01 236139513 1 A01 Wayne Holloway-Smith Holloway-Smith, Wayne Wayne Holloway-Smith Wayne Holloway-Smith is the author of two poetry collections, Alarum (2017) and Love Minus Love (2020), which was shortlisted for the T.

‘I’m blown away… An astonishing work' AMY KEY
‘Amazing… Truly a feat' RAYMOND ANTROBUS

--

A transfixing, heart-rending work which follows a mother and her young son living under the shadow of an all-consuming domestic threat, by T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Wayne Holloway-Smith.

24 Coalbrook Street. The house is trembling with a father's anger. It makes a rabbit of a young boy, sends him burrowing into a wardrobe, and leaves his mother standing hapless and mute over the kitchen sink. In this house, how far can a mother’s comfort travel?

From the safety of his hiding place, from the magnitude of his fear, a young girl appears offering a way out. Taking him by the hand, reaching through time, she leads him elsewhere; a mother’s love dreaming him away from their reality to the promise – beautiful yet flickering – of a river.

Haunting, precise and tender, RABBITBOX heralds a major new work from one of Britain's most exciting writers.

--

‘It takes a rare poet to make such magic of such brutality, but Holloway-Smith is the rarest kind: tender, curious, vivid, and wild. He bunches language like a fist, one that unravels into shadow butterflies, the idea of escape... RABBITBOX is my book of 2026.’ - JOELLE TAYLOR

 ]]> 08 02 Max Porter

 ‘I’m blown away.  I don’t read Wayne Holloway-Smith’s poetry, I become immersed in its curious, skin-scraping world. In RABBITBOX he creates an atmosphere of eerie vulnerability, a ‘terrible hosanna of language’ that compels as powerfully as it unsettles. I felt the fraught mission of creating safety in a domesticity that could not guarantee it; of the magic tricks a mind must conjure when it lives alongside punishing, pathetic masculinity. An astonishing work.’ Amy Key

'This book is amazing.  Imagine a poetry version of DH Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers blended with Han Kan's novella, The White Book. That could be said of Wayne Holloway-Smith's latest offering, RABBITBOX.  Holloway-Smith is more than a talented poet, he's a gifted phrase-maker. RABBITBOX is a lyrically ambitious and powerfully evocative book on trauma and family. Truly a feat.' Raymond Antrobus

The Dog Park Detectives are back with another tail of intrigue from the bark side of crime…

When a young homeless man is found murdered in the playground of their local park, the Pack – a group of friends who meet regularly to walk their dogs together – leap into action, determined to get justice for him even if they have to bark up every tree in the neighbourhood.

But the discovery of another body, this time by the canal, suggests the killer may only be getting started. And when one of their own is targeted, it’s clear that whoever it is has a bone to pick with the Pack.

With the trail getting closer to home, can Louise and the gang find the murderer in time, and bring them to heel?

One afternoon at the start of summer, a teenage girl watches a new girl move in across the street. In Clara, the narrator recognises the same loneliness that she feels herself, but finds tenderness and laughter too. Over hot, languid days spent talking and reading side by side in the garden, the narrator is awakened to the possibility of a true connection with another human being, free of the self-consciousness she feels with others.

Meanwhile, in a distant fictional galaxy, Nadia the space explorer - the protagonist of a children's book series beloved by both girls - traverses the known universe with her companion Rosa. Their imagined adventures make sense of new and powerful feelings.

First Summer captures the innocence and agony of adolescence and the exquisite promise of love on the cusp of adulthood: a moment where fantasy is still vivid in the mind, even as adulthood looms. This story of the first summer of love echoes throughout the characters’ lives and will change them forever.

‘An intimate story of self-discovery.’ Orhan Pamuk

She’s his neighbor’s ex. Who thought becoming roommates was a good idea?

Lane O’Neill is living the dream his senior year of college, running Campus Drivers, the ride-share app that he launched with his best friends. The concept is simple: play taxi driver for students behind the wheel of vintage cars. The girls love it, and the four drivers are deeply committed to never disappointing their clientele.

Lane has just one rule: no attachments. Ever. After everything he’s lost, keeping his emotions locked up is the only way he knows how to move forward—seeking solace in late-night drives and the rare quiet of his apartment off-campus.

So how the hell did he end up with his neighbor’s ex, Lois Hogan, crashing at his place? She’s everything he doesn’t want—clingy, directionless, and annoyingly optimistic. The type who follows her basketball-star boyfriend to college and picks a sports therapy major just to stay close to him—then acts surprised when it all blows up in her face. Lane can’t resist calling her out on it, yet despite the constant bickering, he keeps letting her stay.

Lois thought she had her life figured out, but after a messy breakup, she’s going through a full-blown identity crisis. To top it all off, she now has to deal with an infuriatingly hot, emotionally distant roommate who seems to have a knack for driving her crazy. But Lois is done playing the good girl. If Lane wants to push her around, she’s more than prepared to push right back.

CHOSEN AS A BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2026 BY THE TIMES
 

An astonishing true story of splendour, scandal and tragedy in Golden Age Paris.

In 1881, Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted two young sisters from a Jewish banking dynasty at their home in Paris’s grand 8th arrondissement. Pink and Blue, a portrait of Elisabeth and Alice Cahen d’Anvers, captures a fleeting moment of innocence and beauty, and today it is one of Renoir’s most celebrated works. His portrait evokes the glamour of the Belle Époque: days at the races, nights at the opera, sun-soaked chateaux, brilliant salons filled with art, music and conversation. Paris at its most dazzling.

Yet beneath the glittering surface was a surging current of resentment. Renoir’s Impressionist masterpiece, radiant with light and colour, hides both a family secret and the tensions of an era poised for rupture. The same society that was illuminated by progress and culture was cast into shadow by division, prejudice and rising antisemitism. The Cahen d’Anvers, prominent patrons of this Golden Age, would come to embody both its glory and its tragedy.

In The Renoir Girls, Catherine Ostler paints a vivid and immersive portrait of intimate individual lives against the vast sweep of a changing Europe. Drawing on letters, diaries and exclusive new research, Ostler uncovers revelatory truths about a family at the heart of modern Europe’s struggles. From the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War to the Dreyfus Affair and the devastation of two world wars, this is a powerful story of love, courage and identity in conflict with the forces of history.]]> 08 02 <B>Edmund de Waal, author of <I>The Hare with Amber Eyes</I></B> 08 02 The Renoir Girls is a dazzling achievement, heartbreaking, glamourous, elegiac, revelatory and utterly gripping. It is simultaneously a portrait of Belle Époque Paris, the chronicle of a powerful French family in a world of palaces, estates and the late 19th-century high society of grand aristocrats and bankers, a story of great love, forbidden affairs and family secrets, a biography of Renoir and his artistic milieu, a history of France from Second Empire to World War Two, and the story of French Jews from the court of Napoleon III to the killing camps of the Holocaust – and at its heart are the extraordinary lives of three sisters and a famous painting. A tale with echoes of Proust and The Hare with Amber Eyes, it is deeply researched, beautifully written, delicious, haunting and horribly timely’]]> <B>Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of <I>The World: A Family History of Humanity</I>    </B> 08 02 The Renoir Girls is magnificent: a grand sweep of a book, an epic told through the lives of the Cahen d’Anvers, their triumphs and tragedies, their romances and passions.

‘The Renoir Girls is a helter-skelter ride from the glittering, high society whirl of Paris in the mid-nineteenth century to the bleak gates of Auschwitz and the Nazi death camps a century later. The connecting link is deftly provided by Renoir’s vivid portrait of two privileged children, ‘Pink and Blue’, as they journey through time from the exclusive, golden world of Proust to the dark ruins of Hitler’s Europe’ - Rick Stroud, author of I Am Not Afraid of Looking into the Rifles]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/04b501df-012d-4ebc-9d49-b07c00255d6d 01 Simon & Schuster UK SIMO004 Simon & Schuster UK 01 01 Simon & Schuster UK SIMO004 Simon & Schuster UK 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 234 in 01 5943.6 mm 02 153 in 02 3886.2 mm 27 15 9781471172601 06 15 9781471172618 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 02 49.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 49.99 0.00 20260125 02 59.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260125 Simon & Schuster UK AU 01 20260512 9781481476669 02 02 1481476661 03 9781481476669 14 19781481476666 15 9781481476669 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>A Doctor at Heart</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Doctor at Heart</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle>The Story of Groundbreaking Scientist and Teacher Vivien Thomas</Subtitle> 01 1293418368 1 A01 Joan Schoettler Schoettler, Joan Joan Schoettler The Honey Jar won the Gold Medal for Juvenile Books at the 2024 California Book Awards and was a 2024 Bank Street College Best Children’s Book of the Year.

Vivien Thomas always loved solving problems and figuring out how things worked. In high school, inspired by his family physician, he decided he would become a doctor. Despite losing his college savings during the 1930 bank panic, Vivien stayed dedicated to making his dream a reality, a trait that would serve him all his life.

Vivien secured a lab assistant position at Vanderbilt University and later moved to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he and his mentor developed a groundbreaking procedure to cure blue baby syndrome, which led to them performing the first open-heart surgery on a child.

With the power of his passion, perseverance, and dedication to learning (and without any formal college education), Vivien saved thousands of lives.]]> 13 02 The Honey Jar won the Gold Medal for Juvenile Books at the 2024 California Book Awards and was a 2024 Bank Street College Best Children’s Book of the Year.

Chloe just wants to keep having fun with her favorite uncle, but she's afraid everything is going to change.

Howling wind rips away roofs and topples trees.
Rising water floods streets,
and pounding waves slam sandy beaches.

This isn't just any seaside squall. It's a ...

HURRICANE!

A hurricane isn't a surprise. It's a storm that calls ahead and lets you know it's coming. By the time a full-blown hurricane is ripping off roofs and flooding streets, scientists are on a first-name basis with it. They know its history and can trace its path across the ocean.

Before It Was a Hurricane starts at the peak of the action-the chaos and power of a hurricane at full strength-before stepping backward through time. Follow its four-thousand-mile journey from a hot desert breeze to the most destructive storm on Earth.

Listen up! This is the fisticuff-filled tale of Princess Helia of Terrager! A natural-born fighter since childhood, Helia must head out into the wider world when her soon-to-be-husband is groom-napped on their wedding day by the atrocious ape and would-be world conqueror, Gogo. But what does a sheltered princess know of the other realms? Turns out, not a whole lot.

Luckily, Helia is joined by her (only) friend and bodyguard, the ice witch Sidra. Together, the pair will brave the deserts of Flaterra, the blizzards of Frosterra…uh, you get the idea…until they’ve rescued the wayward prince, thwarted Gogo, and punched every henchman they can find. And maybe, by the end of their journey, Helia and Sidra will realize their connection goes beyond mere friendship…

A retired time thief risks everything to steal a vintage gaming console for her son, accidentally reawakening dangerous forces that could collapse all realities, forcing her to confront her past to save her family's future.

Once upon a time, Savannah and Marcus were the most skilled temporal thieves in the business, slipping through history to acquire rare artifacts. That was before they settled down, had a son, and built a quiet life together. Ten years later, as their son Harper celebrates his birthday, Savannah questions whether suburban bliss is enough. When Harper's disappointment over a replica gaming console triggers memories of her former life, Savannah makes a decision that could jeopardize everything she and Marcus have built. Against her husband's knowledge and her best friend's warnings, Savannah steps back into the portal for "one last job" - a simple mission to retrieve an original gaming console from the past. But nothing stays simple for long in a business where time is money.]]> 13 02

In this gritty, twisted medieval noir, the Sheriff of Nottingham wages a brutal war on crime, corruption and rebellion across fifteen blood-soaked chapters. As he hunts killers, uncovers conspiracies and clashes with the Merry Men—led by the mysterious and dangerous “Hood”—the Sheriff finds himself caught between England’s most ruthless power-brokers and the outlaws of Sherwood Forest. No one is innocent, and loyalty is a weapon in a land ruled by fear, secrets and steel.

For fans of black cats and dark wizards!

Amelia Shadows has never had what you might call a “normal” childhood. For one thing, her dad’s the most powerful dark magician in the world. And for another, she’s spent her entire life in a house filled with ghosts and monsters and incredibly dangerous magical objects! As far as Amelia’s concerned, her life’s actually pretty cool.

When Amelia and her cat, Clara, aren’t having adventures or dealing with dimensional portals in the pantry, she’s learning to be a dark magician, just like her dad, with the help of a ghost tutor named Gustave. You’d think a ghost tutor named Gustave would be pretty fun, but he’s actually pretty boring.

And if a boring ghost tutor wasn’t bad enough, now Amelia’s dad has hired another ghost to oversee things, Hans. Which wouldn’t be that bad, except Hans has very strong opinions about how things should be around the house. This new head ghost has got to go, and Amelia may have a surprising ally…

Chuckie, a lovable dog, has always been told to stay away from bees. Bees sting. Bees are dangerous. At the same time, Bee has been taught that dogs chase and hurt bees. But when the two finally meet, something surprising happens: curiosity replaces fear, and play replaces panic. When an accident leaves Bee injured, Chuckie must find a way to protect his new friend. With the help of his owner, Chuckie gently places Bee in a matchbox and stands guard for days.

Through warm storytelling and vivid illustrations, A Bee in a Matchbox reveals a universal message: sometimes the things we fear are simply misunderstood.

• Explores the 24,000-year precessional cycle and the cultural shifts that accompany the different ages

• Shows how the energies of the cosmos are guiding us into new paradigms of thought, new ways of being, and higher levels of consciousness

• Discusses the interface between the precessional cycle and the Hindu Yuga cycle and the meaning of the profound shift that we in at this time

We are approaching the end of a 24,000-year precessional cycle and, according to ancient traditions, on the cusp of a new age. While this time of transition can lead to an evolutionary leap for humanity, it can also bring inevitable challenges for those who resist.

Astrologer and clinical psychologist Heather Ensworth shows that we live in a sentient universe where the energies of the cosmos are guiding us through this transition and into new paradigms of thought, new ways of being, and higher levels of consciousness. By embracing these changes we can navigate the turmoil of transformation into a new age of love, harmony, and a greater awareness of our interconnectedness.

Ensworth suggests that the precessional motion that causes the astrological ages is not due to a wobble in the Earth’s axis but to the possibility that our sun is part of a binary star system, which astronomers have found are more common in the Milky Way galaxy than previously believed. The author also teaches us how to realign with the galactic center—our source—by becoming centered within and harmonizing with the changing cosmos to bring us a deeper sense of meaning and stability.

The transition into a new age does not need to be a dramatic change that simply happens to us. This book shows how we can remember our origins, find our center, and navigate this changing age with clarity and intention.]]> 13 02 23 02 INTRODUCTION

The Meaning of Our World in Transformation

Since the beginning of human history and the development of conscious thinking, dating back hundreds of thousands of years, cultures have questioned the meaning of life and formed an understanding of our relationship with the Earth and the Universe. The forms of these cosmologies have changed across time and across cultures. How are we to decipher these ways of understanding life and the meaning of our existence? How do we become more consciously aware of the beliefs and values that shape our world in this time? How do we find a deeper purpose and meaning that can guide us in how to live our lives?

We currently live in an intense time of transition and transformation. Many of us feel the increasing pace of time and the escalating tensions in our world. We are faced with ever-erupting global conflicts and wars related to militant forces of nationalism and fundamentalism. We confront an increasing environmental crisis as we push our own and the Earth’s survival to the brink of disaster. Hunger and famine are more widespread, and the gap between the world’s wealthy and the poor is widening. Conflicts about nationality, ethnicity, gender, and religious beliefs are rampant.

The current world systems and social structures that we have relied on for our sense of stability and security are increasingly dysfunctional or are disintegrating. We feel the collapse of the paradigms of the past, and this in turn evokes widespread anxiety, anger, confusion, and polarization across the globe. This has led to uprisings, revolts, and chaos in many countries, as well as the rise of dictators or totalitarian and authoritarian leaders who seize power and control either through fueling people’s fear or by presenting an illusion of being the one who can bring order out of chaos.

Individually, many of us feel that our lives need to change, yet we do not know how to do that or what that might mean. How do we make sense of this period of change and turmoil? How do we find our way in the increasing chaos and confusion of these times? Is there some larger meaning or purpose that lies beneath these crises? Where do we turn for answers?

In the midst of individual and collective turbulence, the religious institutions that have been a source of solace and of beliefs defining our sense of reality are showing signs of stress, fragmentation, and collapse. The Catholic Church has been fraught with accusations of sexual abuse and corruption in the United States and Europe, and this has led to a significant reduction in membership. In most modern Western countries, there has been a significant decline in religious belief as well as attendance in religious institutions.

We also see religious and political conflicts around the globe—in the Middle East, in Russia and Ukraine, in Sudan, and in Myanmar. These are just a few examples of what is happening around the globe. How do we understand the increasing violence, destruction, and polarization that is occurring in our world? Where do we turn to find solace and spiritual guidance? Why are we experiencing such turbulent times?

Perhaps, if we view our current experience in the larger context of human history, we can gain clues as to what we are experiencing and how to navigate these intense times. In ancient cultures, there was a deep understanding that our lives are guided and mirrored by the movements of the stars and planets as well as by changes here on Earth. Across human history, the Great Year, the precessional cycle of approximately 24,000 years in which the pole stars and constellations of the ecliptic gradually shift in the sky, has given us guidance regarding the evolution and shifts of our consciousness as well as cultural and Earth changes. Since ancient times, spiritual teachers and guides have known that the transitions from one astrological age to the next are times of turmoil. Part of the turbulence of our current time relates to the shifts in consciousness that we are experiencing in this transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. Our ways of knowing, thinking, and formulating reality are being called into transformation and transmutation.

As we move through this shift, we are becoming more aware of the destructiveness of the paradigms of the past five thousand years. During this time, we moved into the patriarchal period, with an increasing suppression of the wisdom of the Sacred Feminine, an increasing disconnection from the Earth, and increasing division in our relationships with each other. These paradigms have valued power-over—conquest and control versus compassion, collaboration, and community. They idealize individuality, competition, and the accumulation of wealth rather than living in balance and harmony with each other and with the natural environment. We have seen the effects of the dominance of scientific materialism, linear thinking, and disconnection from Spirit and from a sense of interconnectedness with the life around us.

This has led to increasing polarization and division between self and other, spirit and nature, and the Sacred Masculine and Sacred Feminine. We see this polarization exemplified in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle and further refined by the work of René Descartes and the scientific revolution. This destructive dualism and polarization have been codified in religious systems of thought that view the body as separate from spirit, and humans as set apart from nature. Nature is devalued in these patriarchal paradigms and seen as a resource to be exploited and controlled. Women, in their intrinsic connection with nature in their monthly cycles and childbearing, have also been devalued in patriarchal society. But as we will see, this split has not always been evident in human history.

In addition, we see the ongoing devaluation or active destruction of Indigenous cultures and other voices in the world that hold a different perspective and could guide us in coming back into balance with each other and the world around us. Despite the increasing cultural and environmental devastation surrounding us, those who dominate the world see this as a time when humanity is at its pinnacle of advancement.

The dualism in the world and the power-over paradigms, and the way they have impacted our sense of self and relationships with each other, is also evident in the history of our understanding of the human mind and in the development of psychology across the past one hundred years. Much of early psychological theory has been about the development of an individuated self (i.e., consider the theories of Freud and Jung as well as much of psychoanalytic theory). Psychological health was described as the capacity to separate from merger (usually in relationship with the mother) and to develop an autonomous sense of self. To be a fully functioning person also meant the capacity to contain and control one’s feelings and impulses, to separate the mind from the body and emotions. Discrimination, analytical thinking, productivity, and many of the facets of left-brain functioning have been emphasized in modern Western culture. Intuition, imagination, holistic thinking, and empathic attunement (aspects more of right-brain functioning) have been devalued.

In recent years, with new developments in psychology and physics, we have begun to see a shift in this way of thinking. Recent psychological theories (such as the Stone Center’s self-in-relation work and developments in self psychology and ecopsychology) have emphasized the importance of relationship in the formulation and maintenance of healthy human functioning. Dr. Allan Schore, who has written a seminal book, Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self, links the effects of early emotional attunement and relationship to the neurobiology of early development and the subsequent development of the child’s emotional and social functioning. Dan Pink, in his book A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age, states that effective functioning in our current time of change requires the skills, creativity, and flexibility of right-brain thinking that incorporate a more holistic way of being and knowing.]]> 04 02 Foreword by Barbara Hand Clow

A deadly climb. A country where freedom comes at the highest cost. The Faraway Mountains is a pulse-pounding tale of survival, loyalty, and courage set against the chilling isolation of Communist Romania.

A dark chapter in recent human history
The first part of this novel follows the adventures of three young friends during a memorable last mountain climbing trip to a remote area of a country under the control of a ruthless authoritarian regime. During their journey, the young men have to cope with bear encounters, venomous adders, colorful locals, storms, dangerous climbs, flooded caves, and other challenges, as the main purpose of their trip is gradually revealed.

A second story, intertwined with the first one, focuses on a brilliant young pianist and his ill-fated quest for freedom. Urban life, in the dreary capital where the young men regularly reside, is the focus of the second part of the novel, when the friends begin to go their own separate ways and come to terms with their very different future prospects. The challenges of life in the capital, which include run-ins with feral dog packs and the secret police, are very different than those faced in the mountains, but not less dangerous. Ultimately, this is a book about friendship, the noble, irreverent and indomitable aspects of the human condition, as well as a dark chapter in recent human history, and the various ways in which different people cope with difficult and unfair conditions.

It is an often hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking exploration of the absurdities of life under an increasingly erratic dictatorship which is gradually losing its grip on the people it could never fully control.]]> 13 02 08 02 The Faraway Mountains melds the themes of friendship, freedom, and the haunting shadows of life under a repressive regime to deliver a spellbinding experience for readers.

"A journey of healing, love, and self-discovery in the rugged beauty of the American West."

The Silvery Moon transports readers to the enchanting world of the American West in 1889, where the stage and the open range intertwine in a tale of romance and redemption.

Hannah Roberts, a widow and talented acting coach, travels with Kyle Harper's ambitious theater troupe, haunted by a past that has left her with deep insecurities. Her failed marriage and her late husband's cruel accusations have convinced her that something is wrong with her body. Yet, as she journeys through the Colorado mining towns, Hannah’s path crosses with Gray Dylan, a wealthy Wyoming rancher who sees her beauty and strength beyond the scars of her past.

As Hannah grapples with her fears and doubts, she forms an unexpected connection with Gray, whose patient affection offers her a chance at healing. Meanwhile, a parallel love story blossoms between Gray's foreman, Royal Atkins, and Peggy, a young seamstress, providing a gentle contrast to the intense, sometimes tortured romance of Hannah and Gray.

Amidst the dramatic world of the theater, where ambition and emotion collide under the direction of the charismatic Kyle, Hannah must decide whether to embrace the love Gray offers her. With his support, she confronts her trauma and discovers that the love of a man who values her for who she truly is may be the key to unlocking her heart.

In this unforgettable tale, The Silvery Moon celebrates the power of love, the courage to heal, and the beauty of second chances, ending with a joyous New Year’s Eve wedding that promises a bright new beginning.]]> 13 02 THE DUKE'S WAGER, with Signet/NAL.

Gierach offers a bold, evidence-based solution: legalize and control drugs to end the decades-long failure of prohibition and restore justice and public health.

Tired of fentanyl overdose news? Fed up with endless gang and gun violence? Mad about disproportionate punishment based on race? Furious about migrants fleeing South and Central American countries to reach the USA to escape unlivable corruption and gang violence driven by drug-prohibition laws there? Upset that over 100,000 Americans are shot each year, with surviving victims’ healthcare costs making healthcare unaffordable? Whether called Obamacare, Trumpcare, or Single-Payer? Discouraged that marijuana is still illegal in your country? Angry that America has become the “Prison Capital of the World”?

Did you know that United Nations “drug-control” conventions mandate that 186 nations enact drug prohibition laws? Just like Al Capone loved alcohol Prohibition, drug cartels and drug dealers love drug prohibition. Drug prohibition is the common denominator to a dozen global and American crises.

Author Gierach advocates “The Silver Bullet Solution”—drug legalization and control—to ameliorate those crises. End the failed, 65-year-old World War on Drugs. Gierach says, “Get society off its drug-war gravy train and fix a sick society.”]]> 13 02

A runaway wife. A dangerous past. A love that could save her soul. June Calvin's enchanting Regency romance follows one woman's fight for freedom against a society determined to chain her.

Eden Henderson has crafted a new life as a governess, hiding from her brutal husband and the shadows of her past. When she meets the charming and rebellious Earl of Dudley, Roger Brentwood, she discovers a kindred spirit who challenges everything she believes about love and trust. But her carefully constructed world begins to crumble as her past threatens to destroy not only her future but everyone she holds dear.

Set against the glittering backdrop of Regency London, this novel explores themes of female autonomy, healing from trauma, and found family. 

Can Eden trust her heart to a man who guards secrets of his own? As danger closes in and society threatens to expose her true identity, she must choose between protecting herself and embracing the love that could be her salvation. The clock is ticking, and Eden's very life hangs in the balance.]]> 13 02

Susan Cabot was a popular B-list movie actress in the 1940s-1950s whose grisly slaying perhaps gained her more notoriety than her on-screen and on-stage accomplishments. Susan had a significant acting career ultimately cheapened by the media circus surrounding her death.

The role for which Susan was most recognized was Wasp Woman, Janice Starlin, the president of a cosmetics corporation who experiments with a youth serum made from the extract of wasps that proves to have deadly side effects—not unlike the experimental injections that contributed to her own real-life slaughter in 1986 at the hands of her son, Tim.

Susan was essentially tried and convicted of her own murder due to the overbearing mother narrative purported by Tim’s defense attorney team and the media. This biography broadens the narrative of Susan Cabot, detailing her legacy from a fresh perspective beyond the coils of her last years and brutal murder. It also explores the sociopolitical implications of victim-blaming, mother blame, and toxic masculinity that led to the skewing of Susan’s life and death.

Susan’s side of the story has never been told... until now.]]> 13 02 Dr. Lona Bailey is an award-winning researcher and author specializing in the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Thomas Paine Returns with Common Sense shows how the wisdom of America’s founders speaks directly to the crises of modern life.

Consider today's headlines:
  • Fentanyl takes thousands of young American lives
  • The U.S. border is wide open
  • The national debt threatens the future of its citizens
  • Numerous conflicts rage across the globe
  • Medicine shortages require rationing
  • American students score lower in reading comprehension
  • Suicides are on the rise
  • Race relations deteriorate
  • Homeownership grows more difficult
  • Taxes increase
  • Human trafficking becomes the new pandemic
  • Belief in God declines for the third straight decade

Now, imagine Thomas Paine, George Washington, or Thomas Jefferson stepping into today’s public debate. What would they think? What would they say? Would their wisdom be outdated?

The answers are clearer than one might expect. Their writings remain astonishingly relevant—so much so that, with a few updated details, their words could be mistaken for modern political commentary. Their insights, once foundational to this nation’s birth, still offer guidance in times of crisis.

As the Constitution—more than 250 years old—remains the bedrock of this government, the principles of its architects should not be ignored. In times of struggle, great institutions must return to their fundamentals. When a major league hitter falls into a slump, his coach brings him back to the basics to restore his swing. America is in a slump. Few would argue otherwise. The solution? A return to the principles, structure, and foundation that once made this nation great.

Thomas Paine Returns with Common Sense is an effort to correct a government that has veered off course. Just as Paine’s original pamphlet inspired a fledgling nation to seek independence, his words—reapplied—can help guide America back to strength and order.]]> 13 02

A bold call for conservatives to reenter the cultural arena and end the left’s century-long control of the arts.

Liberals in the United States have a monopoly on the message American arts and culture tell the world. Cultural Monopoly is an examination of historical events that pushed control of high art to the left and how it affects American culture, today. The left fiercely protects their monopoly, not because they want to ensure high quality in the arts, but because they understand art is a great tool to convey and control a message. Control of the arts means power and there is nothing the left loves more than power.

The monopoly started more than a century ago. People on the right always knew it was happening but chose to focus on other things ... a mistake for many reasons. Art is an important part of our national economy, it’s a critical tool in documenting our history, and can be a factor in personal health. Most importantly, it's the tangible object the American experiment is built on. Throughout history, art has served as the storyteller of the human condition. It documents our relationship with ourselves, each other, and our connection to the physical and spiritual world. In the last 100 years art has turned into a tool, of the left, to convey an increasingly anti-American message. This has resulted in a dramatic decrease in the quality of American art.

Art produced today will be viewed by future generations as an indicator of our society and a keeper of our story. Narcissists try to write history to only reflect themselves. Conservative America can be part of the arts story again if we have the courage to undo the left’s monopoly. The purpose of Cultural Monopoly is to convince conservative America to reengage with the arts. The author concludes with a road map for bringing the arts back to critical, neutral ground. We can and must tell the left, your monopoly of American culture is over.]]> 13 02 Catherine Wines is an architect and a strong advocate of all creative arts. She is also politically conservative. Those two things are not a contradiction, much to the amazement of many from both sides of the U.S. political aisle.

Her personal experience working and volunteering in the arts, along with her deep knowledge of historical context, helped her write an engaging book that exposes the dangerous leftward tilt in the arts and reveals her vision to bring them back to critical, neutral ground.

But the economists whose quiet brilliance has kept the free market running? You don’t see them on book covers—until now.

Edited by Robert M. Whaples, Co-Editor and Managing Editor of the acclaimed academic journal The Independent Review, Unsung Heroes of the Market: The 24 Underrated Economists You Need to Know reveals a cast of overlooked thinkers who shaped the economic foundations of the modern world—yet remain largely absent from mainstream conversations. From Friedrich A. Lutz, forgotten architect of monetary thought and trenchant social critic, to the underexamined cultural insights of Thomas Sowell (whose most provocative work often flies under the radar), these essays illuminate the minds behind the market.

Written by leading scholars of liberty and economic policy, this collection invites readers to rediscover the forgotten economists whose ideas continue to power the engine of today’s free society. It’s a must-read for anyone ready to elevate their economic understanding … and challenge what they think they know.]]> 13 02 Robert M.

With this fascinating guide from the creator of Peak Mind, you’ll learn to truly resonate—and never miss out on a great connection again.

Life is not a solo performance. Whether personal, professional, or aspirational, our best relationships are the ones that generate resonance—that electric feeling of connecting on a profound level.

From Michael Trainer, Global Citizen Festival Co-Creator and creator of the Peak Mind podcast, Resonance reveals why your next level isn't about doing more—it's about being more. Drawing on Trainer’s experiences collaborating with luminaries from Neil Young to the Dalai Lama, as well as important sociological research, Resonance offers a comprehensive framework for building person-to-person connections that will enhance your life.

Inside, you'll discover:
  • The neuroscience of connection—and why a single conversation can change your life
  • The "More" method for awakening the authentic life force that's been buried under your professional persona
  • Why vulnerability is your competitive advantage in an AI world that can replicate everything except genuine human connection
  • The invisible patterns that turn everyday encounters into soul-shifting experiences
  • How to stop networking and start creating a constellation of relationships that amplify your deepest gifts


This isn't just about adding another strategy to your toolkit. It's about discovering that your greatest contribution isn't just what you achieve—it's what you awaken in others. Because when you learn to truly resonate, you don't just change your relationships. You change your destiny.]]> 13 02 Michael Trainer has spent his life building bridges between worlds—from launching movements that touch billions to sitting in silence with the Dalai Lama.

As a young family physician, Dr. Michael Klaper dreaded seeing patients with cardiovascular disease and other chronic ailments, knowing that all he could offer was medication to slow down the inevitable worsening of their symptoms. Like many modern doctors, he had an unintended blindspot over the nutrition factor: Food is woven through every part of health, and common problems like high blood pressure, clogged arteries, and obesity can be reversed through an optimal plant-based diet.

After adopting a comprehensive approach to his practice, he’s calling on other medical professionals to do the same—and empowering individuals to make the best choices for their own health. Combining Dr. Klaper’s in-depth research and firsthand experience, Moving Medicine Forward explains:
  • How nutritional guidance has helped his own patients cease taking medications for common “lifetime” conditions
  • What the latest science tells us about the devastating impact that eating animal products has on the human body
  • Why well-meaning physicians are pushed to prioritize pharmaceutical treatments over more effective, long-term solutions for healing
  • Strategies for preventing (and in some cases, reversing) common conditions including cardiovascular disease, liver disease, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and more
  • How to create a doctor-patient relationship that prioritizes clear communication, evidence-based medicine, and patient autonomy


For both patients seeking a straightforward, nutrition-based path to health and doctors who want to do their best by their patients, this book remedies the gap in knowledge between diet and metabolic disease, while empowering readers with the tools they need to heal and live well. The health care “status quo” is failing all of us. It’s time to move medicine forward.]]> 13 02 Michael Klaper, MD, is a graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago.

For some, moms are their bestie, their bedrock, and their first call when things go wrong (or right). Meanwhile, the rest of us send our moms to voicemail more often than not and maybe even dread Mother’s Day weekend.

Whether your mom is absent, too present, or sometimes just tough to be around, Motherf*cked empowers you to move safely through the maternal minefield. Drawing on interviews with licensed mental health experts and her own perfect attendance in therapy, mental health and wellness journalist Ashley Oerman digs into the repercussions of these painful dynamics. She offers tried-and-true tips for coming to terms with—and taking control of—your relationship with your mom.

In Motherf*cked you’ll find expert-backed tips and tools to…
  • Understand why and how your relationship with your mom impacts your mental health, attachment style, and adult relationships
  • Spot signs of dysfunction, like generational trauma, narcissism, and emotional immaturity
  • Productively process feelings through light-hearted, helpful tools like “Choose Your Own Sadventure”
  • Set healthy boundaries (the book’s “Boundary Concierge” can help!) and decide if going low- or no-contact is right for you
  • Prepare for the drama that comes with breaking unhealthy patterns or ending a problematic relationship with your mom

Soccer is the most popular game in the world, but does it truly belong in the heart of American sports culture? The answer is a resounding yes—and the 150-year journey of elite men’s soccer in the US is filled with drama, surprises, reversals, and triumphs that rival any world-class match.

With meticulous research and lifelong passion, Mark C Franek delivers a fast-paced, foundational soccer book that also serves as a celebration of American soccer. This book is a must-have for all fans, players, parents, coaches, and professionals across the sport.

In brisk, punchy prose that moves in a confident tiki-taka style, Franek explores:
  • The soccer-like games played by Native Americans long before the arrival of Europeans
  • How organized soccer predates gridiron football, started in American colleges, and was carried forward by immigrant communities
  • Why soccer has always been more inclusive and immigrant-friendly than other professional sports
  • The rise and fall of the original ASL and the Golden Age of American soccer
  • America’s Olympic and World Cup highs and lows dating back to the early 20th century
  • Soccer’s growing popularity today, from MLS and USL to elite youth academies
  • The accordion-like journey of the USMNT over the past 40 years, leading to the USA’s co-hosting of the 2026 World Cup
  • A roadmap for how the US can go from good to great on the international stage—based on firsthand accounts from professional athletes and experts in the sport

The ability to tackle issues head-on isn’t just nice to have anymore—it's your competitive advantage when things get tough.

The biggest epidemic plaguing businesses today is the failure to solve issues quickly and permanently. Most companies get stuck in endless meetings that rehash the same problems without resolution, creating a culture of frustration and stagnation.

Issues reveals the cure: a proven system used by tens of thousands of businesses to remove friction, fast-track growth, and ignite greatness. Authors Mark O'Donnell, Sue Hawkes, and Jill Young show you how to revolutionize your organization by:
  • Mastering two essential tools to systematically tackle any business challenge, idea, opportunity, or obstacle
  • Building a high-trust culture and understanding how to create psychological safety where teams can openly debate and challenge ideas without taking things personally, leading to better decisions
  • Getting to the root of problems fast and solving what’s really causing friction instead of just treating the symptoms
  • Transforming meeting culture to turn boring, circular meetings into productive 90-minute meetings that consistently solve 5–15 issues per week
  • Empowering every team member to be a problem-solving expert, creating leaders at every level


Built on the foundation of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), this methodology has helped leadership teams find quick solutions to every problem that arises. You'll learn to build a culture of openness and honest accountability, where teams attack problems together instead of hiding from them.

Stop letting the same issues drain your energy and profits. Great companies solve issues as they arise and make them disappear forever, and this book shows you exactly how to become one of them. Your path from chaos to clarity starts here.]]> 13 02 Mark O'Donnell is a highly successful entrepreneur, CEO, and Expert EOS Implementer.

A victim of her mother’s Munchausen by proxy and child abuse survivor, Gypsy’s unique and controversial case made headlines across the world. Now, she’s finally free to start living her life on her terms. Forced to use a wheelchair in public and endure a lifetime of faux illness, fraud, and exploitation, Gypsy was subjected not only to her mother’s medical, physical, and emotional abuse, but deprived of childhood milestones. Prevented from attending school or socializing, Gypsy’s formative years were defined by pain and isolation.

After serving eight years in prison for the role she played in her mother Dee Dee’s murder, Gypsy is embracing her fresh start—and reminding all of us that it’s never too late.
In this revelatory, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful memoir, Gypsy shares the painful realities she grew up with and the details of her life that only she knows, including memories of her final days in prison, how it felt to finally see her family again as her authentic self, and what she learned upon reviewing her own medical records for the first time.

Featuring Blanchard family photos and facts about Gypsy’s life that she previously kept private, My Time to Stand offers an unprecedented look at the real Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, proudly embarking on her ongoing journey to recovery and self-discovery.]]> 13 02 Gypsy-Rose Blanchard served 8 years of a 10-year sentence for the second-degree murder of her mother, Clauddine Blanchard, and was released from Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center at the end of 2023.

THE EDUCATION CONTINUES IN VOLUME 3!!

The gods chose him. He said no.

After his parents died, Alex Roth had one desire: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the University of Generasi, the world’s greatest academy of wizardry.

Fate had other plans.

On his eighteenth birthday, Alex is Marked by prophecy as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener, his land’s great enemy. But his brand is 'The Fool’.

Worst of the marks.

Rather than die or serve other Heroes like past Fools, he takes a stand, rejects divine decree…and leaves. With his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, Alex flees for the university, hoping to research the mystery of the Ravener. He’ll make lifelong friends, learn magic from mad wizards, practice alchemy, fight mana vampires, and try to pay tuition.

There’s one small problem. The Mark insists on preventing the Fool from learning and casting spells, while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat, and spellcraft…

…that is, unless he learns to exploit the hell out of it.

Explore a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building, and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

THEY PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE. THEY GOT 25 TONS AND 18 WHEELS OF HOLY WEAPON.

Post Malone’s BIG RIG.

The Dark Ages… Demon hordes plague Europe as Hell invades Earth. The Six Petals, a secret sect of The Knights Templar, pray for a holy weapon to drive back the scourge. What crashes to earth instead is The Rig, a fully loaded tractor trailer. In the aftermath of its arrival, the only man left standing is an enigmatic former priest. He will become Trucker and lead the fight against Hell—with 25 tons and 18 wheels of demon-slaying machine.

Created by Post Malone. Written by Post Malone and Adrian Wassel. Drawn by Barbaric co-creator and Dark Knights of Steel artist Nathan Gooden

“This is the most metal fucking thing I’ve ever read. If Army of Darkness, Big Trouble in Little China and, I don’t know, Ozzy Osborne all got drunk and procreated, you’d have Big Rig. Post, Adrian and Nathan have done something incredible here." — Christopher Yost (Thor: Ragnarok, The Mandalorian)

“I wish I’d thought of this.” — Daniel Warren Johnson (Transformers, Do A Power Bomb, Murder Falcon, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) about BIG RIG]]> 13 02 BIG RIG is his first graphic novel.

An award-winning writer and editor, Adrian Wassel is known for his work on some of the bestselling and most acclaimed comics of the last decade. When he is not at his desk, you can find him playing in the mountains of Montana.

Acclaimed artist Nathan Gooden is known for co-creating the bestselling comic, Barbaric, as well as his work on Brandon Sanderson’s Dark One, and Dark Knights of Steel. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland and plays a lot of basketball.

Der-shing Helmer is the Eisner-nominated and Ignatz-award winning independent science-fantasy and educational comic artist from the CA Bay Area, now based in the San Diego Area. Der-shing is currently the Managing Editor at Vault Comics. She is a self-taught artist, and has a biology degree from UC Berkeley as well as a formal background in secondary science education.

Jim Campbell is a twice-Eisner-nominated comic-book letterer, one-time writer (perhaps again in the future!) and occasional artist (although his enthusiasm rather outstrips his actual ability). He knows more about print production than mortal man was meant to know and has also scanned more images than you've had hot dinners. Unless you're ninety years old.

Clarke (Mark of the Fool) and C.J. Thompson, comes RUNE SEEKER, the next hot progression fantasy adventure, where the weakest person among his people will rise to unimaginable power.

The Everfail will rise. His enemies will fall.

Hiral is the Everfail, the weakest person on the flying island of Fallen Reach. He trains harder than any warrior. Studies longer than any scholar.

But all his people are born with magic powered by the sun, flowing through tattoos on their bodies. Despite having enormous energy within, Hiral is the only one who can’t channel it; his hard work is worth nothing.

Until it isn’t.

In a moment of danger, Hiral unlocks an achievement with a special instruction: Access a Dungeon to receive a Class-Specific Reward.

It’s his first—and maybe last—chance for real power. Just one problem: all dungeons lay in the wilderness below the flying islands that humanity lives on, and there lay secrets and dangers that no one has survived.

New powers await, but so do new challenges.

If he survives? He could forge his own path to power.
If he fails? Death will be the least of his problems.

Don't miss the next Progression Fantasy series from J.M Clarke, bestselling author of Mark of the Fool, written with C.J. Thompson. Unlock a weak-to-strong progression into power and a detailed LitRPG system with unique classes, skills, dungeons, achievements, survival and evolution. Explore a mysterious world of fallen civilizations, strange monsters and deadly secrets.

When a marauder destroys the underground sanctuary that Eva Nine was raised in by the robot Muthr, the twelve-year-old girl is forced to flee aboveground. Eva Nine is searching for anyone else like her: She knows that other humans exist because of an item she treasures—a scrap of cardboard on which is depicted a young girl, an adult, and a robot, with the strange word, “WondLa.” Can she find where she belongs?]]> 13 02 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi has been creating children’s books for over twenty years.

The Search for WondLa

by Tony DiTerlizzi

Discussion Questions

1. What is a family? What elements make a family? Does color, size, or shape make a difference in what a family consists of? Is it possible for a robot to be a family member?

2. Was Muthr a good mother to Eva? Was she able to teach Eva life lessons? Did she have a loving spirit? How does a robot show love?

3. Muthr believed computer technology was omniscient. Was Muthr correct in her beliefs? Give examples from the book to verify your answers.

4. Muthr had a list of six basic survival skills for humans: 1. Trust technology 2. Signal others 3. Find shelter 4. Create fire 5. Procure food and water 6. Know first aid. How did these skills help or hinder Eva’s survival in the “real world”? Given her experience, did Eva find the list was in correct order for survival? Explain your answer.

5. Lewis and Clark, John Audubon and Charles Darwin, are all greatly admired people who captured “new” creatures, observed them, killed them, and dissected them all in an attempt to understand them. Are Zin, Besteel, Queen Ojo and the taxidermist any different from them?

6.  As Eva begins her journey, she meets a cerulean named Rovender. Is there any significance to his name? As an adult, Rovender views his relationship to Eva very differently than Eva views their relationship.  How do they view their relationship to each other? As the book progresses, does their relationship change? If so how does it change?

7. In Roman mythology, who or what does Orbona represent? Is there any significance to Eva?

8. While attempting to escape from Besteel, Eva was saved by the Wandering Forest. Rovender tells Eva he has never seen a forest respond as it did. Why did the forest come to Eva’s aid? In your opinion, what does it mean?

9. When Eva is visiting Lacus Besteel attacks her. Even though Eva is surrounded by villagers, no one responds to her cry for help. Have there been times in your life when you may have felt isolated and alone even though there were people all around you? Give an example.

10. As Eva walks through the village of Lacus, she takes out her omnipod to take pictures. Rovender is upset and tells her several times to put it away. What is wrong with taking pictures? How can taking pictures be harmful?

11. The author has said he was inspired by classic stories, fairy tales, and movies while writing this book. Eva’s WondLa belongs to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Can you see any similarities from other stories in this book? If so, which ones?

12. Would you describe Eva as a resourceful person who uses her skills and wit to solve her problems? Give reasons to support your answer.

A Hero for WondLa
by Tony DiTerlizzi

Discussion Questions:
1. At the beginning of the book there is a quote from Carl Sagan, “The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.” Discuss what Carl Sagan’s quote means. How does this relate to A Hero for WondLa?

2. Eva Nine catches a glimpse of herself in a lens of a headlamp and sees a dirty, disheveled girl. She then tries to straighten her hair and make herself more presentable. Hailey has shaggy brown-and-blue-dyed hair that is stuck to his face with perspiration, tanned skin, and dirty hands, and he eats his voxfruit in a slovenly way. He wipes his dirty hands on his pants. These are the first impressions Hailey and Eva Nine have of each other. It has been said, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” What impression does Hailey have of Eva Nine? What does Eva Nine think of Hailey? Are first impressions important? Are they correct? How heavily should one rely upon first impressions?

3. Eva Nine has a remarkable ability to communicate with many different species. Why does she have such difficulty communicating with humans, such as Hailey, Eva Eight, and Gen? How does telepathy influence Eva Nine’s life?

4.Throughout the story Eva has conflicting thoughts about Muthr. They had arguments about Eva exploring, and yet Eva was well taken care of by Muthr. The smell of motor oil on Muthr had a comforting effect on Eva. Muthr willingly sacrificed herself to save Eva. When Eva meets Eva Eight, she hears of a different Muthr than the one she knew. Discuss the differences the sisters had in their upbringing. Is it unusual for parents to raise their children in different ways?

5. Eva Nine had a tracking chip inserted underneath a mole on her body. The tracking chip enabled Hailey to locate Eva Nine, and also provided Cadmus Pryde the ability to track his citizens in New Attica. How does this tracking chip compare to microchip IDs for animals? How does this tracking chip compare to today’s cell phones with GPS and to anti-kidnapping devices implanted under the skin? Did the tracking chip do more than just locate a person?

6. Hailey referred to Eva as a “reboot.” Eva did not like the term nor the tone in which it was said. Hailey wanted to be a “retriever” as was his father. What do these terms mean? The citizens of New Attica call Vanpa and his friends “toilers.” How does the way words are used make Eva, Hailey, and Vanpa feel? Look into history for other words that are used to make people feel uncomfortable or empowered.

7. Rovender advised Eva Nine to “sometimes disregard what one is saying and focus instead on what they are doing. Watch and observe. That is when one reveals his true self.” How did this advice help Eva Nine throughout the story? Was this good advice? Why or why not?

8. How important are memories? How accurate are memories? Consider Eva’s memories of Muthr, Eva Eight’s memories of living in the sanctuary, Vanpa’s life experiences, and Rovender’s memories of his family.

9. Read the Manifesto of New Attica. It begins with the statement “Man created Tech to aid man.” Consider the meaning behind the manifesto. What is your opinion? Do you believe what the manifesto says? Does our future seem to be following the same path as New Attica’s? As you discuss the manifesto, remember Eva’s experience with technology outside the sanctuary.

10. When Eva Nine enters New Attica she is amazed at what she sees. Is there anything in New Attica you would like to see in your lifetime?

11. If life in New Attica was so perfect, why did it need to be patrolled by authoriton guards?

12. Compare Cadmus Pryde’s interpretations of the Mona Lisa to Cadmus’s own version of New Attica.

13. Discuss the pros and cons of Emote Attire, which shows one’s true feelings. Is it a good thing for everyone to know how you feel at all times? How is Emote Attire similar to mood rings?

14. In the paradise of New Attica is there any bullying? The three Gens laugh, point, and make faces concerning Paige Trundle’s appearance. Is this a form of bullying?

15. Hailey was captured by Cadmus Pryde’s authoritons and considered a corrupted specimen. According to Cadmus Pryde, a corrupted specimen of a Homo sapiens neo was an individual with a predisposition to free thought due to unmanaged neurochemicals in the brain—one who was prone to rebel authority. The individual needed to be treated before he/she was naturalized into society. How would our founding fathers react to such a definition?

16. What is friendship? One element of friendship is trust. What other elements are included in friendship? How did the friendship between Eva Nine and Rovender influence Eva in her decision to rescue Rovee against her sister’s wishes? How did friendship among humans and aliens allow for an escape from New Attica, Cadmus Pryde, and the authoritons?

17. Discuss Rovender’s opinion that “Land does not belong to anyone. We belong to the land. To Orbona. The planet must be free to breathe and grow as we breathe and grow.” Is the Wondla series a cautionary tale?

18. Eva Nine searches for a family in both books. What is a family? What expectations did Eva Eight have for a family? When Eva Nine meets Eva Eight a tension builds between them. Is this usual with siblings? Why was Eva Nine more comfortable with Rovender, an alien, than with Eva Eight, her own flesh-and-blood sister? How did Muthr fit into the definition of a family? Rovender told his father, “A child needs his parent at all times, not just when life is smiling down upon him.” How did the loss of Rovender’s partner and unborn child affect him? What happened to his family?

19. When Nadeau was returned to his village, Antiquus pushed a blade through Nadeau’s throat and an audible exhalation was heard. Antiquus said that Nadeau’s spirit was released. Was this a humane thing to do? Euthanasia is often done with beloved pets to stop their suffering. How does euthanizing an animal compare to euthanizing a human? Was it permissible to euthanize Nadeau because he was an alien or because it stopped his suffering?

20. Isolationism is a policy of remaining apart from the affairs or interests of other groups. Rovender tells his village’s council, “You think you may avoid the world by hiding up here, but eventually the world will come to you. And you may not like what you see.” How is this belief of isolationism similar to what the Amish people or the Australian Aborigines believe? Will it be possible for the Caeruleans to stay neutral against the threats from Cadmus Pryde’s vision and his robotic army?

21. One of Eva Nine’s characteristics is being compassionate not only toward her own family but also to many of the alien creatures she encountered. How did this one characteristic help or hinder Eva Nine throughout her adventures? How important was this characteristic to Eva’s personality? Mother informs Eva that compassion is an energy beyond anything she can create. If this is true, where does compassion come from?

22. According to the dictionary, a chimera is “an organism containing a mixture of genetically different tissues, formed by processes such as fusion of early embryos, grafting, or mutation.”

In WondLa, a chimera is a being composed of both machinery and living tissue. As Hailey and Eva escape from Cadmus’s lab, Hailey rips off the armor of an authoriton. Eva sees a pale, atrophied human arm within the armor. She asks Hailey if there was a person inside. Hailey replies it was just cloned parts. Compare and contrast a cloned robot with someone who has robotic body parts.

23. How would you describe Cadmus Pryde? Was he a visionary? Did he treat his citizens well? How did he relate to the aliens inhabiting Orbona? How did the citizens of New Attica view him? What were his good characteristics? Did he have any faults? From what we have learned of Cadmus in this story, has he changed in any way and, if so, how? Was he a good leader?

24. Is it possible for organic materials to coexist with man-made materials? For example, consider New Attica and the Wandering Forest. Is it possible for the two to exist together? Are we able to exist on earth with our man-made technology, weapons, and toxic chemicals and still provide the natural food and air quality necessary to survive? What side effects have man-made materials done to our earth? Is it possible to correct them? What can be done to solve some of our man-made problems?

25. Eva Nine had never experienced the death of a loved one. She did not have any customs to relate to when Muthr died. Did Rovender’s cultural beliefs on death help Eva Nine understand or accept the death of Muthr? If Rovender’s beliefs helped Eva Nine why did they not help Rovender?

26. Loroc informed Eva Nine that, “Cadmus is winning a battle today so that he may lose tomorrow. I will do to him as I am to do to you.” Is Cadmus an evil man? Is Loroc an evil alien? Who is the most evil of the two? What is evil? Is it possible to have good traits at the same time as having bad traits?

27. In the beginning of the book, Eva Nine was a scruffy-looking girl who had just lost her Muthr. Did Eva Nine change in any way throughout the book? Did her physical appearance change? If so, in what ways? Did she change her outlook on how to treat other people and aliens? Did her perception of herself and her abilities change? What experiences influenced any changes Eva Nine made in her life, be it physical or emotional?

Activities:

1. As Eva Nine continues her journey through life, she learns about death. She saw how Besteel killed the aliens he captured, she saw how Rovee killed turnfins for food, she witnessed Muthr’s death by Besteel, she saw the remains of an air whale and wondered how and why it died, and she questioned where one’s spirit goes when one dies. Many cultures have different ways to explain death. Rovender told Eva about the loss of his partner and child. The customs in his village did not help him with his grief. Have your students research how different cultures explain death and what customs are performed to help understand death.

2. Have your students write an essay about a futuristic civilization. They should include what technology is available, how one communicates, what diseases exist, modes of transportation, what kind of nourishment is available, and housing and attire for the inhabitants. The students can then share their visions with their classmates.

3. How accurate can a prediction be by noted soothsayers such as Nostradamus? Have your students reread Arius’s prediction and write their own prediction. They should write it in the same format as Arius’s, which will tell the tale they believe will happen in the next book.

4. In New Attica the people don’t eat food, they have food-flavored nutrition pills. Have students research the advantages and disadvantages of getting nutrition only through pills or freeze-dried foods, such as the foods astronauts eat. Which food is healthier, the pills or the real food? Allow the students to sample different freeze-dried foods.

5. Have your students research biomechatronics—the science of using mechanical devices with human muscle, skeleton, and nervous systems to assist or enhance motor control. Then the students can share their findings with one another. Does this field of science sound similar to what Cadmus Pryde did in New Attica?

6. Have your students experiment growing plants under different conditions. Let the students choose what kind of experiments to try. There could be one experiment using fertile soil, natural sun, and proper watering. Another experiment could have artificial light, fertile soil, and proper watering. Another experiment could have fertile soil and natural light but less water. One experiment could use polluted water with the fertile soil and natural light. Let the students chart the results and compare the different effects on the plants to see what makes the best growing conditions. Is there a difference between using artificial light and sunlight in the plants?

The Battle for WondLa
By Tony DiTerlizzi


About the Book

Eva Nine is at her bravest in the final book in the New York Times bestselling trilogy from the fantastical mind of Tony DiTerlizzi. All hope for a peaceful coexistence between humankind and aliens seems lost. Eva Nine has gone into hiding for fear of luring the wicked Loroc to her companions. However, news of the city Solas being captured by the human leader, Cadmus Pryde, forces Eva into action once again. With help from an unlikely ally, Eva tries to thwart Loroc’s ultimate plan for both mankind and the alien life on Orbona.

Discussion Questions

1. As The Battle for WondLa begins, Eva Nine was far from the war, deep in the Wandering Forest. Why was she not in the midst of the fight?

2. After saving herself and Hailey from the horned martick, Eva was conflicted concerning the fate of the beast. What did the beast say to Eva? How did Eva finally resolve the conflict?

3. Loroc told Eva a secret that no one else knew, but Eva confided in Hailey. What was the secret? What was Eva afraid of? What was she sensing from the forest and animals?

4. Hailey was dependent on technology. He had to have his omnipod at all times. What was Eva’s thoughts on technology and his omnipod? How did she survive and acquire information without the use of technology?

5. How did Eva use her newfound ability to find food? How did she feel about eating a dead animal? What advice had Rovender given her to accept the necessity of eating something she had killed?

6. Eva Nine had been told many times by others that she had changed. At the same time, she was told not to change. How is it possible to change and still be the same? What were her friends saying about her? Is there a difference between physical changes and changes caused from experience?

7. Read the following passage:

Hailey to Eva:
“You trusted Cadmus, you trusted Eight, and they all let you down. So why not trust this garbage-dealing slug?”
“I trusted you, too,” Eva hissed with anger. “And look where that got me.”
Later:
“My dad’s Omnipod. You found it.” Hailey blinked with surprise as she handed it to him. “Caruncle had it after all,” said Eva. You were right.”
Hailey gave a lopsided grin to Eva as he took the device. “I know. Sometimes it takes a liar to know a liar.”

How does one learn to trust another? What is trust? How does one know when someone isn’t telling the truth? Find more examples where the characters are asked to trust one another. How do these situations turn out? Should the characters be trusted?

8. The retrievers’ motto was, “Wherever you may roam, we’ll safely bring you home.” What or where is a home?

9. As the attack on New Attica was beginning, Eva called Hailey to come and rescue as many people as he could. He at first refused, saying that he would not risk his friends to help those people. Eva responded, “I need you to be the retriever that I know you are. Bring your people here and have them help evacuate the survivors.” Why was Hailey reluctant to help the citizens of New Attica? Did his attitude change after he helped them?

10. As Eva prepared to go to New Attica to speak with Cadmus Pryde, she mentioned that “He has done a lot of things that are wrong, but there are a lot of good things he’s accomplished too.” Van Turner replied, “Perhaps, but that young benevolent man has become poisoned by the disillusionment of experience and age.” What does this mean?

11. During the shuttle ride escaping from the embattled New Attica, Eva, Hailey, Vanpa, and Huxley greet one another, catch up on the news, and have a conversation describing the attack on New Attica. Gen has had little contact with alien species. How much of this conversation can Gen understand without a translator? How did this first real contact with aliens affect Gen?

12. When Gen met up with the other two Gens at the Toilers’ camp, what was her attitude toward New Attica? What did she want to do with the omnipod her father gave her? What advice did Eva give to her? Do you agree with Eva’s advice?

13. Redimus told Eva about his childhood—how he didn’t meet his family’s expectations of how a son should live. What did Redimus do to prove himself to his brother Besteel? In turn, how did Besteel respond, and how did this make Redimus feel? What effect did his story have on Eva, if any? Refer to the text to support your answer. Can Redimus’s story relate to other family expectations in today’s society? Think of interracial marriage, being gay/lesbian/transgender, atheist versus believer, etc as examples.

14. Eva believes that heroes are cursed. As soon as the hero allows someone to become close to their heart, they die. What do you think? Can Eva be right?

15. Discuss the way humans view death versus the way animals and birds respond to it.

16. In the following passage, Eva Nine addresses the taxidermist. “Look within yourself. Count the souls you’ve paralyzed and embalmed. Not for food. Not for sustenance or shelter. I’m not even sure you did it for knowledge or understanding.” What possible reason did the taxidermist kill? Are there acceptable times when one is justified in killing?

17. Where does Eva get her courage, strength, and ideas on how to proceed throughout this story?

18. In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and her friends discovered that the land of Oz was not what it appeared to be. How does New Attica compare to Oz as an ideal place to live? While New Attica was being attacked, Eva and Gen find Cadmus living in his sanctuary. He informs Eva that “The feeling of love, security, and harmony are here for all to enjoy – just as it once was. Just as it should be.” How did Eva prove to Cadmus what was real versus an illusion? How did Dorothy show the Wizard of Oz that his world was an illusion?

19. Did Eva Nine find the WondLa she was searching for? If yes, was it as she imagined it would be? If not, what did she find? How was her WondLa compared to Dorothy’s in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz? What was different with Eva’s WondLa?

20. After Hailey brought out some toys from an abandoned HRP Sanctuary, Hailey and Eva discuss living in the sanctuary. Hailey thought it would be amazing to live in one, while Eva said, “I’d rather be living in the real world than hiding away from it.” What did Eva mean in relationship to the story? Is this a commentary on today’s society where people prefer to live and play in a technological society on their computer versus living and playing outside in the real world?

21. One of the themes in the book is about families. Zin attempted to explain to Eva the importance of the relationship between Zin, Arius, Darius, and Loroc and their interconnectedness. He said their family bond was likely different from humans. What was their family bond? Was it any different from that of our own families?

22. In the following passage, Eva and Zin have a discussion concerning right and wrong: “Maybe answers are found not in observing but in doing. Doing the right thing.” “What is ‘right?’” Zin faced her. “What might be ‘right’ for me may not be ‘right’ for you.”

How does one know when something is right or wrong? What does one base the decision on?

23. Both Loroc and Cadmus Pryde each have a character flaw. What are their flaws?

24. Eva prepared to meet Queen Ojo and hoped to convince her of the danger Loroc presented to her civilization and to Orbona. How did she prepare herself for the meeting? What is “atavistic thinking”? What did she bring with her to the meeting? Did her plan work?

25. What are treowes? What does the word treowe mean? How did this word relate to the birds in The Battle for WondLa? What was the purpose of the treowes in the story?

26. If Loroc’s powers were too strong for the treowe’s power to work, how was it that Zin’s, Arius’s and Darius’s voices were able to speak out to Loroc?

27. What was the significance of the glass vials filled with rust-covered dirt that the elders wore as a pendant around their necks?

28. Loroc informed the assembled representatives that: “Not only did my brother leave you during your darkest hours, but he knew the dangers of humans. He’s collected their refuse and displayed it in your museums as artifacts from a long lost civilization.” Is this a condemnation of museums? Are museums important? Why or why not?

29. Antiquus confronts Loroc at the royal banquet hall. His bravery cost him his life. How was Antiquus remembered by the surviving representatives? How did Rovender and Eva Nine deal with the reality of his death?

30. If Loroc consumes Zin so that Zin’s weakness for humans will be eliminated, won’t this weakness then become a part of Loroc?

31. Eva told Loroc that his brother and sisters would be immortal. How would that be possible? What is immortality? How does one preserve the past for new generations to remember?

32. Discuss the many different kinds of families described in The Battle for WondLa. What is the message given throughout the book concerning the importance of family? Consider the air whales, the water bears, the turnfins; Eva Nine with Muthr and Rovee; add Otto, Antiquus, and Eva Eight as a starting point in the discussion. The family of Zin, Arius, Darius, and Loroc had a special bond. How was their family compared to Eva’s family?

33. Hailey bolted onto one of the warships with his Omnipod. When Hailey returned to Eva and Zin, he informed her that the ships were totally automated. There was no one operating the ships at all. That was why the warbots were able to destroy everything and everyone in their path. There was no one regulating what they destroyed. In our society we have unmanned drones. What’s the difference between drones and warbots?

34. Eva Nine had a glass vial given to her by Soth, which held some soil from her homeland to remind Eva that she was always home, no matter where she traveled. When Eva Eight was saying good-bye to Eva Nine she plucked an orchid and placed it in Soth’s vial with the soil from the Caerulean’s planet. Later, when Eva and Gen struggled to survive the attack of New Attica, the glass vial cracked open, and an orchid-like creature crawled out on four segmented legs. Everywhere the creature stepped moss and greenery sprouted. What was so important about this phenomenon? Is there any connection to this creature and the flower blooms that Hailey brings back to Eva from Antarctica? Is there any connection to the orchid-like flowers that a lone boy steps through two hundred years later?

35. Do HRP Sanctuaries still exist two hundred years after Eva Nine’s story ends?

36. “They both watched the ripples on the lake dance in the orange light of the sun.” What is the ripple effect? Think back upon the three books in the series and see if there are any “ripple effects” that occur throughout the books, and especially in the Epilogue, one hundred years later, and two hundred years later.

Activities

1. “Eva hadn’t given much thought to how others viewed her and her actions. Her mind was constantly occupied with how she viewed everyone else.” Choose a character from the story, and write a description of Eva Nine from their point of view.

2. Have the students read Chapter 24, “The Elders,” then write about the council meeting from the perspective of a Halcyonus elder. Include his/her opinion of Eva, Rovender, Huxley, and Antiquus. What does this leader believe the colony should do? Include his/her thoughts on humans and their ignorance of their leader’s planned invasion. How does it compare to what Eva thought would happen?

3. Have the students choose a character from the story and write a song or poem from that character’s perspective, describing their adventures on Orbona. The students should then perform the song or read their poem in front of an audience.

4. Are pillar guards a form of intelligent life? Research intelligent life. Using the descriptions of the pillar guards provided throughout the story, compare and contrast pillar guards to intelligent life.

5. Research Project Cadmus on the Internet. Does this Project relate to Cadmus Pryde? Research the name Pryde. Does this name relate to The Battle for WondLa?

6. How does the author use descriptive language in the story to make it more realistic? Refer to the following passages:

a. “Eva crept through the wood. Moving through the shadows, like a floatazoan hiding in the brush, they circled the camp and came to rest alongside a large wandering tree.” b. “He opened his mouth wide. There was a rendering sound as ligaments in Loroc’s jaw stretched, bringing to mind the hologram Eva had seen of snakes preparing to eat a bird’s egg whole.”

Look for other examples of descriptive language in the story and share them with the group.

7. Have students listen to and/or read the interview of Tony DiTerlizzi as he talks about his book The Battle for WondLa at http://geekdad.com/2014/05/interview-diterlizzi/. Discuss the importance of the colors of the illustrations in all three of the WondLa books. Research The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and compare the illustrations to the WondLa books.

8. Using the vocabulary list in the next section, review the words and the definitions. Have the students make a crossword puzzle using the words and definitions. Then add some of the character names, who they are, and places where the adventures happened, to make the crossword puzzle more relevant to the book.

9. Using the Regional map of Orbona as a basis for a board game, have the students write questions (with answers) for each part of the map. For each section, students should create questions that relate to the people, geographical location and description of the area, and events that take place in the section. Have the students create game pieces to coincide with different characters from the book. Enjoy reliving the adventures of Eva Nine and her acquaintances.

A girl who’s used to battling the monster of her own mind discovers there’s a sinister evil lurking in her small town in this atmospheric paranormal novel that’s perfect for fans of Tracy Wolff and Maggie Stiefvater.

Stories of dark magic and even darker creatures have always swirled about Mina Murray’s town of London, Georgia. Mina knows they aren’t true—and are likely perpetuated only to drive the quirky tourist-trap ghost tours of downtown—but that doesn’t stop her from collecting the stories and drawing them in her sketchbook. Something about the possibility of real monsters helps her deal with the monster in her own head: her OCD, which convinces her danger lurks everywhere.

But when a body is found drained of blood and a classmate goes missing, Mina is thrust into a tangled web of London secrets…that she seems to be at the center of.]]> 13 02 Creepshow and over a decade of essays for Coffee + Crumbs.

Otis sleeps his deep and heavy sleep.
He dreams his Otis dreams.
And he’ll wake when he’s ready, in his own way, in his own time.
Why?
Because Otis knows.

Why? Because Otis knows something we can all get behind: the best way to be…is to be yourself, in your own time and in your own unique way.]]> 13 02 One Dark Bird; In the Canyon; Happy Birthday, Bunny!; the Caldecott Honor recipient All the World; Thank You, Garden; and The Family Tree.

Oliver Twist. Pip. The ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. The characters of Charles Dickens live on in our imaginations long after we’ve read his renowned works of social commentary and vivid storytelling. Although these novels were written more than a hundred years ago, no home library today would be complete without them. This edition collects some of Dickens’s most famous and beloved works—The Adventures of Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations—in an elegant, leather-bound, keepsake edition. For those who’ve never read Dickens, it’s the perfect opportunity to experience his unique and compelling writing.

“Essential reading for anyone who’s felt failed by the parental canon.” —Town & Country

“An honest and refreshing take on motherhood.” —Today

“With blistering honesty” (Oprah Daily), this nationally bestselling motherhood memoir dares to ask what happens when “what to expect when you’re expecting” turns out to be months of rage, anguish, brain fog, and a total surrender of sex, career, and identity.

Like most of us, Sarah Hoover grew up imagining a certain life for herself, and when she moved from Indiana to New York City to study art history, the life she’d imagined began falling into place. She got her degree in art history, landed a job in a gallery, made friends, and met interesting artists, one of whom became her husband. But when Hoover got pregnant, everything in her life began to unravel.

She felt like an imposter in her own body. She grew distant from her friends and husband. Anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame threatened to swallow her. She also experienced trauma at the hands of one of her doctors—a stark trigger. And when her son was born, there was no joy.

Her despair was persistent, even with help, therapy, and pills. Grieving a lost identity and angry at the world around her, she found herself despising her baby, her husband, and herself. She was afraid it might not end. With the help of a doctor’s diagnosis, Hoover began to understand the cluster of symptoms that informed her experience—she was drowning in postpartum depression—and that she wasn’t a bad mother or a failed woman.

At its core, this “page-turning look at the realities of motherhood and postpartum depression” (Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author) is about learning to forgive yourself. It’s a rejection of the cultural idea of the mother as a perfect being. And it’s a propulsive and whip-smart “welcome moment of truth” (W Magazine) on the vicissitudes of marriage, life, and parenting—a motherhood memoir unlike any other.]]> 13 02 The Wall Street Journal, Harper’s Bazaar, Psychology Today, Mother Tongue, The Strategist, and Vogue. The Motherload is her first book.]]> 41 02

Questions for the Author

Q: The Motherload is remarkably candid in its depiction of deeply personal experiences. What motivated you to embrace such openness, and what were the emotional challenges of sharing these aspects of your life so publicly?

A: When I was in the depths of postpartum, and I mean really in the thick of it, I started writing about how I was feeling, mostly because I couldn’t find any books that aligned with my experience. I am a voracious reader interested in material across all genres, but no matter how many pages I consumed, searching for a story like mine, I never found myself reflected in what was out there. If I did, there was something about the story that made me feel like the grace was there but the grit was excluded, or maybe vice versa. I wanted to write about a woman bleeding into a diaper who had entirely lost her sense of self overnight, a woman who hated her life and herself, because that was what had happened to me. And what I really wanted was to write the book that I wished I’d had for myself in that year after my son was born.

I realized once I started writing that every time I would jot something down, I felt shame about . . . I felt lighter. And every time I shared it in writing class or with friends, someone would tell me they had at some point felt the same way, or at least similarly. All those years spent ashamed, embarrassed, and thinking I was alone—I came to realize quite quickly that it wasn’t getting me anywhere, and I was better off abandoning the self-imposed humiliation and coming to terms with all that had happened in my life. I haven’t really looked back since I realized that it’s a lighter way to live.

By the time my book was out in the world, I didn’t feel embarrassed about any of my emotional journey anymore. You have to own these things to be able to control the narrative about them with your words. And anyway, it’s all just the reality of what happened. I can’t change it—why waste time letting it make me feel bad?

Additionally, I’m the daughter of a former sex crimes prosecutor—my mom was in the second sex crimes unit founded in America, in the early 1980s in Indianapolis. She took the job out of law school because it was, well, available; in fact, no men wanted to work in the department at all. I grew up being taught that the world was not safe for girls; my mom nodding from the front seat of our station wagon at a grassy, inconspicuous hill beside some cornfields, just off the interstate—I worked on a case of a young girl who was raped over there during a midnight thunderstorm. I grew up knowing that I was one choice, one step, one mistake away from another tragedy at all times. And by the time I emerged from my late teens and twenties, dating in New York City, I felt traumatized and exhausted by my experiences with men. But because none of my stories ended like the stories my mother told on the interstate, I had some sort of impostor syndrome about my own history, even though I knew a lot of what had happened to me with certain boys and, later, men had been at best unwanted.

So I’m not sure it was an emotional challenge sharing these gritty personal details of my life as much as it was an imperative to convey not only my birth trauma but other attendant traumas.

Q: Throughout the memoir, you critically examine societal and personal expectations placed on women. How do you believe parenthood contributes to these pressures, and what do you think can be done to dismantle them?

A: A very brilliant Gen X friend of mine put it this way: There was a commercial in the eighties for a perfume called Enjoli. In the commercial, a very attractive woman comes home from work in a power suit and then changes into a hot, sexy dress that she wears while cooking up dinner. “I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan,” she sings. The idea being that the perfect woman goes to work in a power suit, comes home to cook dinner, then avails her body happily. She is never tired or in a bad mood. Her hair is perfect. She context switches with aplomb. The reality, as most women who work know, is that this standard is very difficult, even impossible. Again, I reiterate here that I had a nanny. I had in-laws. But after I gave birth, something drastic happened to me hormonally. The floodgates opened, and it was very hard for me to fake being in a good headspace. Maybe I would have benefited from a rage room, but it was deeper than smashing old printers and soup bowls.

Can we ever dismantle any system, or does some part of the old one remain, like verses on a palimpsest? Part of dismantling any system is about rethinking the way we articulate these roles and their corresponding modifiers—for instance, the archetypal “good mother.” Depending on your politics, “good” and “mother” are homonyms that have culturally different meanings and expectations that shift over time. I knew that with my second child, the emotional labor couldn’t be mine alone. I needed my husband to also be a “good mother.” He needed to shoulder the burden and to experience what it was like to be the worried, anxious parent. To be the parent who left work early when our kid had a fever, even in the middle of an essential creative breakthrough. However much this is possible in late-stage capitalism, the quintessential dismantling of the system, occurs when the emotional, sexual, and parental economy equalizes. When I can bring home the bacon but don’t have to fry it up in anyone’s pan.

Q: Tom emerges as a deeply nuanced figure in the narrative. How did the act of writing about your partnership shape your understanding of its dynamics and the role of love and compromise within it?

A: Marriage is a beast. Everyone always tells you marriages are a lot of work, but they never tell you that marriage is a mirror whose purpose is to show you who you are on any given day. Also, your spouse may well be your partner or your best friend, but he or she is not you. This thing called free will exists, and you can’t make your spouse do anything. (Believe me, I find this quite annoying.) They have to learn all their life lessons and make all their mistakes on their own time. That’s one of the biggest things I learned writing this book—not just the importance of keeping my side of the street clean but not expecting my spouse to have alternate side of the street parking on the same day. I think people often want to blame their spouse without examining their own part in whatever happened.

Initially, perhaps because I got married at a time in my life when I wasn’t yet as critical of cultural clichés and systems, I think I believed in a more idyllic, fairy-tale existence. I romanticized marriage, thinking it would be more like my parents’ union. The book actually helped me to understand Tom as an artist and as a husband. He was extremely generous with me when I was writing and repeatedly told me I could be as honest as I needed to be about him and our relationship. He supported this project 100 percent because he knew that I needed to express myself fully as a writer to write this book well. He didn’t ask me to hide anything, even the thorniest parts of our relationship when I was in the deepest, darkest doldrums. I will always love him for that. Writing the book reminded me that these dynamics are not static. They shift kaleidoscopically. The beast grows and sheds its scales.

My husband and I are both fallible, and we will both continue to make mistakes, and that’s the nature of the beast. But damn, do I feel lucky that I met a man who is willing to listen to me—to analyze himself, to make a concerted effort to change. What more can you ask of a person?

Q: The importance of therapy is a recurring element in your story. Did the process of writing this memoir feel akin to therapy, or did it reveal challenges distinct from other forms of self-reflection?

A: Unlike therapy, the purpose of my memoir wasn’t to heal myself. (I had my therapist, Judi Dench, for that.) The purpose of The Motherload was to tell a story of motherhood that I felt wasn’t being told. In fact, I don’t think I would have been able to write it at all if I wasn’t already in charge of the traumas that had happened to me, if I hadn’t already been healed; I wouldn’t have known what I wanted to say, or been able to command the language properly. I wouldn’t have been able to write something that might help people if I myself still needed help. You know how they say hurt people hurt people? Well, healed people are usually interested in the healing of others. And I think that’s a better place from which to write a compelling and effective book.

There’s this painting by Peter Paul Rubens, who was an Antwerp-dwelling artist (1577–1640) and probably the best representative of the Flemish Baroque, titled Leda and the Swan (1601). The sensual and lush work depicts the eponymous goddess of Greek mythology who was coerced into sex by Zeus, who had disguised himself as a swan in order to get close to her and then rape her. At the time Rubens made his painting, it was considered more appropriate to show a human copulating with an animal than with a fellow human, making this subject quite popular. As time passed, and appetites grew, it became more eroticized and sexualized; rather tame versions from the Renaissance led to ravishing nudes copulating with elegant animals by the seventeenth century, when Rubens made this work. Leda was considered one of the two great beauties of antiquity—the other being her daughter, Helen of Troy; the implication is that because of her beauty, Zeus was entitled to his inability to control himself, and his rape was worthy of being painted. That woman was asking for it. From a swan.

Looking back at my own personal history—sexual and non—I started to think of a lot of my experiences as getting swanned. I’d been on the defensive, fooled into doing things I didn’t really want to do, in a hierarchical structure where I could never reach the top, where the power dynamics of our world meant I was in a lot of situations that didn’t feel equitable to me. Things I’d considered very normal behavior in this world at the hands of men, and of women trained by men, I began to see as exploitative and abusive, but I had reservations against complaining about them.

Thanks to therapy I was able to rethink my relationship to sex and to men and to power structures, and thanks to writing this book I was able to really articulate and expound upon that. Refining the language helped me continue to stop being a good girl.

Q: Your tone in The Motherload masterfully balances raw vulnerability with humor. How deliberate was this interplay, and what purpose did it serve in framing the heavy themes explored in the book?

A: Thank you! It sort of sounds like I wrote that question to make myself sound good. I promise I didn’t.

My favorite kinds of books to read are propulsive and fairly conversational—they read as being natural, they make you feel like you’re in the room with the protagonist. So it was a goal for me to write like that, and let me tell you—it’s hard to write how you talk, bizarrely. You think it would be organic to simply write how your voice sounds in real life, but I really had to work at it. I wanted the book to be my little unique mix of vulnerable and funny—I mean, everyone has their own particular mix of that, I’m not special, but I am myself—and I wanted this book to be identifiable as me.

An early reader of The Motherload said, “Wow, there’s a lot of shit in this book.” (She meant poop, by the way.) And I think that’s when I realized I’d written something that violates social norms with bodily humor—a favorite type of humor for me, but maybe something that makes a lot of people feel slightly out of their comfort zone. I’ve found that the obsession with women as these flawless beings whose bodies are sterile, pristine, and perfect is its own form of misogyny. So I wanted to break down that wall a little bit by leaning into the grossness. And come on—we have to be able to laugh at ourselves. That’s one of the best parts of life.

Is the book darkly humorous? Humorously dark? Like life, I shot for a delicate balance. For sure levity helps certain scenes not be too heavy. It helps the reader access my state of mind without feeling like they are being overly bludgeoned. Maybe because so few voices out there are talking about the diaper part of pregnancy, it felt like a personal mission to be loud and proudly humorous where I could.

Q: Was there a particular chapter or moment in the book that you found especially difficult to write? What made it so challenging, and how did you work through that process?

A: I think many readers might expect the answer to this question to be the chapter about the Wolf, but actually the hardest chapter for me to write was “Mother Wound.” What can I say? My mother is a brilliant, complicated woman, and we have a complex relationship. Still, I didn’t want it to read like a harangue, and yet the book is called The Motherload. It’s about tracing the line from my mother to me to my children—even to my daughter, Fred, who was born after the events of the book took place—to my children’s children’s children.

I wanted to examine the barbed sword of the mother-daughter relationship, to interrogate not only my mom but also how these tiny wounds accumulate over time, the way they morph into habit and the habit hardens into choices. I remember reading truly great memoirs about mothers and daughters like The Glass Castle and The Liars’ Club and thinking the reason each book was so effective was the way the author managed to paint these nuanced, challenging progenitors as painfully, gloriously flawed and human. They neither castigated nor blindly forgave, nor told a lopsided story in which the maternal figure was a monolithic, Dickensian villain.

Again, I think moms, especially working moms, get a bad rap. They get blamed for all the problems of the world, all the way back to Eve and Lady MacBeth. I spent a lot of my childhood and teenage years mad at my mom for working and not being available to play with me or pick me up after school. She seemed bored by me. Later, I realized that a lot of the labor of mothering is, in fact, boring: playing with the same blocks, reading the same books, going to Mommy and Me music classes. Every time I had to do any of these tasks with my son, I felt my soul turn to sand. Was this how my mother felt every night preparing dinner? Was this the wellspring of her resentment? I remember so many nights during high school, partying in a field, wondering about my mom’s adolescence. Had she had terrible sex in the back of a car behind a silo? Had she wanted more from her own mother? Is the mother wound an endless unspooling of viscera from one generation to another? Is it this shared maternal pain that connects us to the quiet breath of the morning? I wanted to convey my mother (and Indiana) in all her depth and complexity. Her dry humor and her mercurial rage that could knock my socks off. It was actually easier for me to write about my most private shame than to write that chapter. I love her so much that it kills me, and facing a love that powerful and looking at it straight in the face, then interrogating and critiquing it, is incredibly hard.

Q: If readers were to walk away from The Motherload with one core takeaway or insight, what would you hope that to be? How does this message reflect the broader intentions you had when crafting this memoir?

A: In 2020, I decided I wanted my son to have a sibling. Maybe it was just biology keeping the human race afloat, but I found myself longing to be pregnant again. Even though I was anxious that my postpartum experience would repeat itself, I wanted a do-over to see if I could love a baby joyfully and without the deep sadness. I wanted my kid to have a buddy. I wanted a bigger family. My instincts told me I needed more.

There was a whole IVF journey in there, loss and sorrow and a roller coaster, of course. But from the moment my last pregnancy test came back positive, I knew I needed a plan. And while that plan included therapy and types of self-care I hadn’t known with my firstborn—like journaling, taking meds, and building in extra time with the network of women and friends who understood what had happened to me on a visceral level—the number one priority for me was ensuring a different kind of medical care and experience. I think every person who gives birth deserves a shot at finding delight as a mother. If I learned anything from Round One, it was that joyful and connected motherhood was not possible on the heels of a traumatic birth. It made me think about these experiences in general. How could we make birth experiences better when they are, by nature, physically traumatic?

Well, I made a list. And I brought the list to my new OB-GYN and read it to her. I promised myself that if she wouldn’t agree to try everything I’d written down, I would find a practitioner who would. But I got lucky—my new doctor was committed to my care, and she was happy to work with me. I explained to her that I don’t put my feet in stirrups, and I prefer the use of the lighter plastic speculums. I ask that my doctor request permission before each touch; that she indicate on a scale of one to ten any anticipated pain or discomfort; and that if my experience doesn’t match what she guessed, that neither she nor anyone else dismisses my reaction. I ask that we agree on language: if I say stop, she freezes what she’s doing. If I say out, she removes her hands. I ask her to narrate the entire time she’s performing a procedure. In the delivery room, I asked for quiet, for calm, for low lighting when possible, for an all-female team. This is called trauma-informed care. And if one in three women has reported experiencing sexual assault, then the repercussions for our undergoing a type of care in the hospital that isn’t informed by that trauma are vast.

I hope that the one takeaway from this book for anyone who reads it is that we all deserve to feel safe in our bodies—in the bedroom, in a doctor’s office, in a hospital. And we all deserve to have our boundaries and our consent honored. If you find yourself in a relationship with a person or a doctor where that isn’t happening for you, being a grown-up means teaching yourself how to advocate for you until you get what you need.

Q: What’s your next project? Can you tell us about what you’re working on next?

A: I’m working on a novel about sex and marriage.

How does the son of a Presbyterian minister wind up winning a Pulitzer Prize for writing a wildly inaccurate newspaper column read by millions of people?

In Class Clown, Dave Barry takes us on a hilarious ride, starting with a childhood largely spent throwing rocks for entertainment—there was no internet—and preparing for nuclear war by hiding under a classroom desk. After literally getting elected class clown in high school, he went to college, where, as an English major, he read snippets of great literature when he was not busy playing in a rock band (it was the sixties).

He began his journalism career at a small-town Pennsylvania newspaper where he learned the most important rule of local journalism: never confuse a goose with a duck. His journey then took a detour into the business world, where as a writing consultant he spent years trying, with limited success, to get corporate folks to, for God’s sake, get the point. Somehow from there he wound up as a humor columnist for The Miami Herald, where his boss was a wild man who encouraged him to write about anything that struck him as amusing and to never worry about alienating anyone.

His columns were not popular with everyone: He managed to alienate a vast army of Neil Diamond fans, and the entire state of Indiana. But he also developed a loyal following of readers who alerted him to the threat of exploding toilets, not to mention the fire hazards posed by strawberry pop-tarts and Rollerblade Barbie, which he demonstrated to the nation on the David Letterman show. He led his readers on a crusade against telemarketers that ultimately caused the national telemarketers association to stop answering its own phones because it was getting—irony alert—too many unwanted calls. He has also run for president multiple times, although so far without success.

He became a book author and joined a literary rock band, which was not good at playing music but did once perform with Bruce Springsteen, who sang backup to Dave. As for his literary merits, Dave writes: “I’ll never have the critical acclaim of, say, Marcel Proust. But was Marcel Proust ever on Carson? Did he ever steal a hotel sign for Oprah?”

Class Clown isn’t just a memoir; it’s a vibrant celebration of a life rich with humor, absurdity, joy, and sadness. Dave says the most important wisdom imparted by his Midwestern parents was never to take anything too seriously. This laughter-filled book is proof that he learned that lesson well.]]> 13 02 Swamp Story, Lessons from Lucy, Dave Barry’s Complete Guide to Guys, Dave Barry Turns Forty, and Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up.

Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s premature son, Patrick, and how their shared grief brought them closer together in the months leading up to his assassination.

In April 1963, President Kennedy and the First Lady announced the pregnancy of their third child—joyful news after years of miscarriages and the stillborn birth of a daughter in 1956. But on August 7th, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born six weeks premature and died less than two days later.

In this probing, soulful account of the struggle to save Patrick, Steven Levingston takes us inside the long-troubled relationship of Jack and Jackie as they faced one of the most difficult experiences of their marriage. With a “perceptive and eloquent” (The Christian Science Monitor) voice, Levingston reveals how Patrick’s death, tragic as it was, ultimately brought the couple closer together and set the President on a trajectory to be a better husband and father in the months leading up to their fateful campaign trip to Dallas.

In a parallel storyline, Levingston reveals the largely unknown role President Kennedy played in modernizing an important corner of American health care. After Patrick’s death, he ordered studies into the primitive state of premature care and drummed up millions of dollars in government funding, igniting a revolution in treatments that over the decades have saved millions of infants thanks to the invention of baby ventilators, new drugs, and modern neonatal intensive care units.

For his definitive account of Patrick’s brief but influential life, Levingston draws on first-ever interviews with doctors who treated Jackie and Patrick, in-depth revelations of the Secret Service agent in whose speeding car Jackie nearly gave birth prematurely, and on new archival documents. Twilight of Camelot is a fresh and humanizing portrait of one of the most famous and complicated couples of the 20th century, and a pulsating drama that illuminates one of the least-known periods in Kennedy family history.]]> 13 02 The Washington Post.

What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About is a rare gem in the literary world. Both a viral sensation online and chosen by Oprah Daily as one of the best nonfiction books of the past two decades, it is an essential collection that dives into the topics we struggle to discuss with those who are meant to know and love us best.

“With tenderness and aplomb in equal measure” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), this captivating follow-up tackles the intricate and challenging relationships we have with our dads. Andrew Altschul reflects on the life-altering experience of becoming a father and how it reshaped his view of his own dad’s parenting. Isle McElroy revisits weekends spent tagging along as their father fixed up the homes of his wealthier colleagues. Jaquira Díaz delves into her father’s history in 1970s Williamsburg, uncovering the roots of their shared restlessness. Tomás Q. Morín paints a raw portrait of an absentee father, while Kelly McMasters portrays her father’s love and dedication. Maurice Carlos Ruffin insightfully captures a father who communicated through his integrity rather than words. Jiordan Castle reveals how we can love our fathers from a distance and Susan Muaddi Darraj’s “Baba Peels Apples for Me” explores the similar burdens placed on immigrant fathers and their eldest daughters.

With moments that are both humorous and deeply moving, “these fearless essays, each one unputdownable, are likely to reassure readers that whatever relationship they have or don't have with their own fathers is just right” (Booklist).

Yue may be the last of her kind. At night, she stalks the streets of the capital city of Longhao, luring in unsuspecting victims with the mask of a beautiful woman, then consuming them in her true form of the nine-tailed fox.

When she is captured by a powerful demon hunter named Sonam and banished to Hell, she manages one final act of revenge: dragging him—and two of his subordinates—down with her.

Now trapped in an abyss with unimaginable terrors, they’ll need each other’s help to navigate Hell and bypass the gods who preside over each circle, each of whom presents the group with a unique and deadly challenge. Forced to depend on one another as they claw their way out of the underworld, both demon and demon hunter discover that there might be more to the other than meets the eye.]]> 13 02 08 02

When fan-favourite Sportsnet TV anchor Evanka Osmak was forty-one years old, she became a hockey player for the first time.

She had her dream job, a solid group of female friends, and a beautiful family; still, she realized she needed something outside of work that was just for her, particularly in the wake of a pandemic that caused all our worlds to shrink. That’s when she found Sister Sports, a local hockey league just for women. Evanka was used to reporting on hockey, so she knew the game inside and out—from the broadcast studio. But she’d never played before. And she wouldn’t realize until later how much this league would come to mean to her.

At the same time as she was falling in love with the game as a player, not just as a sports anchor, she received some devastating news: her beloved mother, Jeannie—her family’s rock—had been diagnosed with ALS.

As Evanka navigated her mother’s treatment and progressing illness, she found a sense of hope and community within her hockey team of adult women that helped her deal with the unthinkable.

When the Game Changes is a deeply affecting memoir that shows Jeannie’s care and influence throughout Evanka’s life, from her childhood through her lively early career, to finding herself in the co-anchor’s seat at Sportsnet. It’s the profound story of a daughter’s extraordinary love for her mom, and how a team of like-minded women provided solace at one of life’s most challenging times.

This is the story of how sports, family, and women’s community can get us through our darkest hours.]]> 13 02

“Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert is magnificent! I want to send to the folks who do the Nobel Prize for Literature. I don’t know them, but I want them to read this!” —Whoopi Goldberg

“It’s a knockout.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“An emotional exploration of religion, external and internalized homophobia, the pressure of progressing Black liberation, and the importance of revisiting the past.” —New York magazine

From RuPaul’s Drag Race winner, Traitors contestant, and host of HBO’s We’re Here comes an inventive, wondrous novel about American hero Harriet Tubman that remixes history into a fresh, dynamic novel about love, freedom, salvation, and hip-hop.

In an age of miracles where our greatest heroes from history have magically, unexplainably returned to shake us out of our confusion and hate, Harriet Tubman is back, and she has a lot to say.

Harriet Tubman and four of the enslaved persons she led to freedom want to tell their story in a unique way. Harriet wants to create a hip-hop album and live show about her life, and she needs a songwriter to help her.

She calls upon Darnell, a once successful hip-hop producer who was topping the charts before being outed on a BET talk show. Darnell has no idea what to expect when he steps into the studio with Harriet, only that they have a short period of time to write a legendary album she can take on the road. Over the course of their time together, they not only create music that will take the country by storm, but confront the horrors of both their pasts, and learn to find a way to a better future.

Original, evocative, and historic, Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert is a landmark achievement that will burrow deep into our hearts (and ears).]]> 13 02 RuPaul’s Drag Race.

The hunt for the holy grail of healthy aging has been ongoing for hundreds of years, and Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson may be its most unlikely champion. As a veterinary epidemiologist, she was recruited by the US Navy to lead a clinical research program to continually improve the health of Navy dolphins. Using advanced biotechnology to study the healthiest aging dolphins, she discovered C15:0, a saturated fat which has the potential to expand both the health-span and lifespan in long-lived mammals.

In The Longevity Nutrient, Dr. Venn-Watson unveils the science behind C15:0, the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in nearly a hundred years. This revolutionary discovery identifies the crucial ingredient for combating chronic aging-associated diseases. This book unfolds like a detective story, bringing you along through the science and discovery of this extraordinary nutrient. The implications of adding this nutrient back into the American diet could not be more significant. Mounting scientific evidence supports that C15:0 can:

- Reduce the risk of and reverse fatty liver disease.
- Reduce the risk of and reverse type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
- Meaningfully slow the effects of aging to improve overall well-being.

Perhaps the most surprising discovery? In the end, it may just be the saturated fat that saves us all.

In this “life-changing” (Thomas DeLauer, author of Intermittent Fasting Made Easy) book, Dr. Venn-Watson tells the extraordinary story of this discovery and examines the paradigm shifting implications for human health and aging. She presents the easy, practical steps for you to responsibly bring this essential C15:0 fat into your life to improve your long-term health and wellness.]]> 13 02 Science Friday, The New York Times, Inverse, the BBC, National Geographic, and more.]]> 08 02 The Longevity Nutrient tells the rest of the story.

A coming-of-age tale from one of the most successful American producers of our time, Jeffrey Seller, who is the only producer to have mounted two Pulitzer Prize–winning musicals—Hamilton and Rent.

Before he was producing the musical hits of our generation, Jeffrey was just a kid coming to terms with his adoption, trying to understand his sexuality, and determined to escape his dysfunctional household in a poor neighborhood just outside Detroit. We see him find his voice through musical theater and move to New York, where he is determined to shed his past and make a name for himself on Broadway.

But moving to the big city is never easy—especially not at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis—and Jeffrey learns to survive and thrive in the colorful and cutthroat world of commercial theatre. From his early days as an office assistant, to meeting Jonathan Larson and experiencing the triumph and tragedy of Rent, to working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights and Hamilton, Jeffrey completely pulls back the curtain on the joyous and gut-wrenching process of making new musicals, finding new audiences, and winning a Tony Award—all the while finding himself.

Told with Jeffrey’s candid and captivating voice, Theater Kid is a gripping memoir about fighting through a hardscrabble childhood to make art on one’s own terms, chasing a dream against many odds, and finding acceptance and community.]]> 13 02 Rent, Avenue Q, In the Heights, and Hamilton.

Chapter One THE ACCIDENT


CARDBOARD VILLAGE. That’s what the kids at school call my neighborhood. I hate that name, coined by a child poet to describe the tar shingles that cover our small houses, built fast and cheap on concrete slabs with no basements to protect us from tornadoes in Oak Park, Michigan, the poor enclave in a rising Jewish suburb just north of Detroit. It’s the neighborhood where the parents have less: less money, less education, less stability. And the kids are deemed less: less smart, less cooperative, less likely to succeed.

On the first day of middle school, my new locker mate looks over at me and asks, “You live in The Village?”

I freeze. My heart speeds up. Blood pumps to my head and ears.

“What?”

“Cardboard Village,” he says.

Caught, as if I’m in trouble, I blurt out one syllable.

“Yep.”

“What’s it like?” he asks.

“What’s what like?” I act like I don’t know what he’s talking about.

“You know, tornadoes. Where do you hide? You’re kind of like the little pig in the house made of straw.”

I don’t have an answer. I don’t want to hide. I want to escape the neighborhood that makes me ashamed. I want to escape the poverty that entraps me and my dark, dour family. Mom frowns, Dad erupts, and my fourteen-year-old older sister, Laurie, hides in her bedroom smoking cigarettes. They all fit together. They are tall and heavy; I’m paper-thin. They have dark hair and eyes; I’m blond-haired and blue-eyed. I’m the adopted son who looks and acts different. While they watch Detroit Lions football games, I write plays and make paper cutouts of trees and leaves and sunbursts to tape to my wall. I’m the answer to the Sesame Street quiz, “One of these things is not like the other.”

And yet.

I’m also the favorite. The light of the family. The boy everyone wants to be with even when I don’t want to be with them.

JUMP BACK TO JUNE 1974. I’m nine years old.

“Wanna serve some papers?” asks my dad. We have just finished dinner with Mom and Laurie. It is still light outside on this late spring night.

I do not want to go with my dad to serve papers, but I’m afraid to hurt his feelings.

“Um, I think I need to get ready for school tomorrow.” It’s a lame excuse and doesn’t stop him.

“Come on, keep me company, it’s only two papers,” he says.

“Go with your father,” says Mom. “Keep him company.”

“Sure,” I say.

We walk to the side drive, cracked like a broken plate, with weeds invading, and open the doors to his Ford LTD station wagon, bought used a couple years ago. I get in the passenger seat, pushing aside dirty napkins and an empty quart of buttermilk from Guernsey Farms, his favorite roadside dairy stand. He can drink a quart of buttermilk a day.

“Just throw that stuff on the floor,” says Dad as he drops his weight onto the front seat, which bounces the car toward him like a rowboat about to tip. Dad is a giant next to my small nine-year-old body—he’s six-foot-three and 250 pounds. His sword-like eyebrows burn red and the curly crimson hair on his head is receding, but still forms its own burning bush. He’s an enormous man, whose size provides safety and entertainment. There is a picture in our small family collection of my sister and me on his shoulders, visiting the zebras at the Detroit Zoo. I love this photograph. Riding his shoulders is also the best vantage point for watching the annual Hudson’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. His height lets me soar over the other onlookers, and his expansive shoulders and hands warm my legs and feet. His enormity can also terrify because when this giant loses his temper, he is like another tornado from which we cannot hide.

He backs down the driveway, swerves around the small island in front of our house, and heads toward Detroit.

Driving in the car with Dad, I look straight ahead or out my window, and try not to wince or make funny sounds as he bounds through the streets as if they are his own personal highways. Making a left turn is a game of chicken. For the passenger sitting closest to the oncoming car, it is a terrifying death sport.

“So, what’s happening, son?”

“School’s out in two weeks,” I say.

“Looking forward to summer?”

“Sort of,” I say. I like school more than summer vacation. It’s more fun than being at home.

“Where we going tonight?” I ask.

“Let’s see here,” he says, looking down and taking out of his large brown folder a white summons that is attached to a legal complaint. I shouldn’t have asked. He pays more attention to the paper than the road.

“We need to get this guy. I’ve had no luck. He’s never home when I show up.”

“What’s the deal?” I ask.

“It says here he owes a year of child support. Here, take a look at the complaint.”

I like reading the complaints.

“It says this guy left town for a year and tried to pass for dead,” I say.

“A man who treats his children like that should be in jail,” he says.

“Well, I guess they found him,” I say.

“And now we’re gonna get him.”

We’re driving on Eight Mile Road, the dividing line between Detroit and the suburbs. The businesses change as we move east through the city. Dress shops and cleaners give way to boarded-up storefronts.

“So, what’s happening, son?” Dad asks.

He already asked that question. But he doesn’t remember. “School’s out in two weeks,” I say.

“What are you doing this summer?”

Same question he just asked. “Going to day camp with Bruce, and we’re playing T-ball,” I say.

“I loved going to B’nai B’rith camp when I was a kid,” he says.

A guy pulls into our lane, cutting off Dad.

“What the fuck?” He steps on the gas pedal and swerves into the lane next to the other car. “Roll down your window,” he says to me.

“What?” I can hear him, but I don’t want to roll down my window.

“Roll down your window,” he says. I do what I am told.

“Hey! Asshole! Learn how to drive,” shouts Dad.

“Kiss my ass,” says the other driver as he gives Dad the finger. He roars away. I can see Dad revving up, about to start chasing him, but then he changes his mind and slows down.

“Sorry about that,” he says.

Some silence.

The neighborhood changes again. It becomes middle class, but there are no bagel factories or kosher delicatessens, just lots of liquor stores and churches. This is the East Side, which is 100 percent gentile, while we are from the West Side, which is more Jewish. We arrive at a white brick ranch house with a bow window in the front. The grass is unmown and has a lot of dandelions coming up, kind of like our house. There are no bushes or flowers around the edges. All the windows are covered with bedsheets of different colors and patterns. Dad parks on the street in front, takes out the paper, and opens his door.

“Stay put, son, I’ll be right back.”

I watch him walk toward the front door, the summons in his back pocket. Some process servers carry handguns, but Dad doesn’t believe in guns. I’m not even allowed to play with toy guns. He doesn’t need one though. He walks fearlessly through life. He is a Jewish Paul Bunyan, in search of deadbeat dads, prospective divorcees, and delinquent mortgage holders—the kind of people who don’t want to see a giant walking up their driveway with a legal-size paper in his hand. He reaches the door and rings the bell. Stands there. No answer. He knocks on the door. Hard. No answer. He peers in the living room window. No luck. He returns to the door, banging his hand over and over. I start to worry. Why isn’t he giving up? He starts banging on the glass of the window, as if he might break it. Finally, the door opens a crack. He is talking to someone, a woman. She is wearing a long yellow T-shirt like a dress and looks like he woke her up. She is shaking her head no, but he won’t leave. A man comes around the side of the house—he is short and pudgy. He is wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. His belly hangs over his waistband. Dad sees him. The man starts running a little. Dad paces after him. Though Dad doesn’t run, his legs are very long, and he quickly catches up with the guy and puts his hand on his shoulder to stop him. He starts talking to the guy and I roll my window down a little so I can hear what they are saying.

“Sorry, that’s not me,” says the man.

“I think it is,” says Dad. “I have your photo.”

A man from the house next door opens his door and comes out to his porch.

“Hey, leave him alone,” says the neighbor.

“Is this your next-door neighbor, Bill McBride?” says Dad.

“None of your business,” says the neighbor.

The man tries to walk away. Dad grabs him by the arm.

“That’s assault,” says the man. He doesn’t put up a fight with this process server who stands many inches over his head.

Dad tucks the summons under the man’s shirt. “Mr. McBride, my name is Mark Seller. I’ve been appointed by the court to serve you this summons. Please read it carefully and show up on your appointed court date.”

Irfan Mirza is the ultimate killing machine. Kidnapped as a child and forced to train to become an elite gun for hire at an orphanage, he is now a ruthless freelance mercenary.

In a wealthy Middle Eastern kingdom, despotic King Nimir is determined to quash all dissidents calling for free elections. Billionaires, clerics, influencers, and journalists who dared challenge King Nimir’s regime have vanished without a trace. The most recent person Nimir has had “disappeared” is Renata Bardales, a trained fighter raised alongside Mirza—his sister, of sorts.

Now things are personal, and Irfan Mirza doesn’t like it when things get personal.

Assembling a ragtag team of specialists, Mirza sets off on a wild rescue mission, determined to save his sister from a medieval fortress that has now been transformed into a heavily fortified blacksite. The prison is surrounded by endless stretches of uninhabited sand, making it difficult to approach and impossible to escape from.

MARCUS DORMAN HAS A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY—AND IT IS NOT ONE THAT REQUIRES THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE.

The war for reality has just reached its peak.

Two years after the Battle for the ISS, the world is still reeling. Nuclear blackouts fractured global power grids—and Marcus Dorman stepped in to rebuild them. Now, his network stretches across continents, threading together energy infrastructure, neural implants, and a constellation of secret quantum satellites.

But this isn’t about money or control anymore. It’s about simulation. It’s about the very substance of our reality!

From deserts to orbit, the Hot Eagle One Task Force races to stop Dorman’s next move: a quantum rendering system seeded with mRNA-linked human minds and powered by sleeper nodes across the planet. Somewhere inside a sensory deprivation tank, Dorman floats—rewriting reality one connection at a time.

As astronauts battle in space, mercenaries clash in the Mongolian steppe, and a mysterious third faction watches from the shadows, the truth becomes terrifyingly clear:

This isn’t just the next war.
It’s the last upgrade . . . for reality!]]> 13 02 Dr. Travis S. Taylor heads up the cast of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch and can be seen on The Machines that Built America on the History Channel.

A new entry in a beloved series!

Hoping to upgrade their capabilities on a shoestring budget, Brainship Tia and her Brawn Alex accept a contract to test a prototype singularity drive from the military. There’s a catch, of course: the drive “might” occasionally commit a starship to “random” jumps. With some trepidation and the new drive installed, the pair resume their courier duties. The drive works flawlessly, at first. Just as they start to relax, the drive places them in orbit around a partially abandoned research site. Partially, because the corporation that set it up abandoned the researchers there. Brain and Brawn rescue the researchers, but what is the reward for a ship who saves an abandoned station? Well, if you’re working for the Central Worlds, it’s a long, dull, and not very profitable courier route. One that results in more—not less—crises and danger for our intrepid Brainship as the random jumps continue. Crises and danger that will only resolve when Tia and Alex discover the reason why all is not as it should be with their new singularity drive.]]> 13 02 Mercedes Lackey is the New York Times best-selling author of the Bardic Voices series and the Serrated Edge series (both from Baen), the Heralds of Valdemar series, and many more.

IN HER DARKEST HOUR, AELYS CHOSE FREEDOM . . . BUT CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

Bellatrix Aelys turned her back on the family that betrayed her and chose to forge her own destiny alongside the dangerous men she had accidentally bound. Now free, Romik, Vil, and Daen make the uneasy choice to continue to work with Aelys as her protectors and business partners. But when Aelys faced off against her family, she didn’t eliminate every threat, and now mysterious forces are moving against her once more. Fearing for her safety and that of her men, Aelys agrees to do a simple task for her old teacher: escort some old “friends” to Zandrine, one of the fabled cities located in the south of the empire.

Only, not everything is as it seems. Zandrine is a city built on secrets and blood and pain. Aelys and her protectors will have to face the demons of the past and the dark schemes of the present, all while trying to figure out who they are to one another and how the four of them— warrior, sorceress, forester, and thief—can meld their strengths to keep each other alive.

Can Aelys, Romik, Vil, and Daen make the necessary hard choices that will forge them into a team capable of surviving these new challenges? Or will the pain of the past and the danger of the present destroy them one by one?]]> 13 02 Kacey Ezell writes emotionally charged adventure fantasy and science fiction.

Two privileged but disillusioned heirs trade high society for the high frontier and learn just how far from home they’ve truly come.

Eddy Lancaster never asked for purpose. He’s content to be a gentleman of leisure, with good friends and a dedicated valet to keep him out of trouble. When a report of a vanished expedition is discovered, with the enticing possibility of a hitherto unknown alien race and the possibility of advanced technology, his eccentric adventurer uncle spirits him and his brilliant twin sister away on a quest beyond the Frontier and away from the comforts of their homeworld.

Effie Lancaster has spent her life dedicated to science but fearing that she’d never see her dreams realized. Now, she’s seizing a last, desperate chance to prove her worth—to her academic peers, her family, and most of all herself.

It was a time of the end of empire. The world was in turmoil. The Romans were abandoning Britain, leaving the remaining servants of empire to try to stem the tide of chaos.

Captain Christopher Pike and the USS Enterprise crew venture to the edge of the Klingon Empire, where they uncover mysterious subspace echoes near a volatile “flare star” dangerously located in a disputed area of the star system. As the Enterprise diverts from its course to track the echoes, Spock leads a daring landing party to investigate the source of the subspace echoes, navigating dangerous ionic radiation that renders the Enterprise’s transporters too risky to use. What they find are city ruins and minimal life signs, but definite evidence of starship-grade metals in a single location…quite possibly a crash site.

While Uhura continues to investigate the subspace echoes, Spock and his team conduct their ground search, first finding shocking signs of alien life and later, the wreckage of an old Starfleet cargo modules from the era of the NX-01 Enterprise. Upon further investigation, they discover the USS Baldwin, an old warp-5 starship declared missing almost a century ago.

When Charlotte Sitterly’s husband is arrested for a white-collar crime, she and her daughter Iris are locked out of their house by the FBI and—what’s potentially even worse—thrust into the spotlight of @JuniperShoresSocialite, the town’s snarky anonymous Instagram account. Desperate and cut off from her bank accounts, Charlotte moves to a former beachfront bed-and-breakfast that’s home to a community of single mothers and draws plenty of gossip in the small coastal North Carolina town.

Charlotte and Iris find solace and are surprised by how much fun they’re having with the other families despite their circumstances. But when the women discover a secret link between them, it changes everything they thought they knew about the unconventional family they’ve created and leaves them wondering whether their coming together was a coincidence at all. Will the skeletons in the closets help Charlotte and Iris reclaim their place in the Juniper shores community—or shatter the sisterhood forever.

Charlotte The Low Point
This was my low point. Even I knew that. Standing in the lobby of Suncoast Bank, saying, in a louder-than-appropriate voice, “But why should I be punished for what Bill did? It wasn’t like I had anything to do with it!” was pretty much the closest to a total meltdown I had come. Three days ago, I’d arrived home from dropping my daughter at tennis lessons to find police cars and FBI swarming the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath cedar-shake beach house that we had just spent two years building. Two years of paint samples and fabric choices with one of the country’s finest designers, flown in from Palm Beach, to give my family our dream home.

And in an instant, it had become a nightmare.

The fact that I was in a bank lobby nearly yelling this at Enid Plyler, who was in her late sixties with short gray hair and had, it seemed, been born behind the loan officer desk at Suncoast Bank, made it even worse.

I loved Enid, stopped by her office to chat each week when I came in to make deposits and get cash. We were a bit of a study in contrasts. Enid was short and wore an ill-fitting lady’s suit, paired with tan orthotic shoes that I would need too if I were pacing back and forth on this beautiful but very hard white marble floor every day. I am nearly five ten, so I was towering over her in my three-inch wedges paired with one of my old dresses I had found stashed at my parents’, a little rose-pink number with a deep V-neck that I knew complemented my summer tan. I should not have been taking my panic out on her. Fortunately, while I was losing it, Enid remained very calm. “Charlotte, I hear you, sweetheart. And I want to help you. I do. But I think you understand that convincing the board of directors at a financial institution to hire a woman who is married to a man awaiting trial for stealing massive sums of money from his clients might be a hard sell.”

Ten points for frankness. “So, what am I supposed to do, Enid?” I asked in a frantic, high-pitched voice that made Paul Lucas and Gabe Montoya, who were both waiting in the teller line, turn and take notice. Well, that was just great. Of all the women who had been unfriendly and unwelcoming to me when we moved here from New York three years ago, their wives might have had spot number one and number two on the list. I was sure they would just love this. “I’ve called everyone,” I said, suddenly feeling light-headed, the room starting to go soft and blurry around the edges. “All those big New York firms who promised they would have a job for Charlotte Nicholson who stepped away from finance too soon? No one will touch me now.” Enid grimaced, and I shuddered at the thought that I might be back to my maiden name. Would I be a Nicholson again? But, no, Iris was a Sitterly. I would remain one too. I continued, realizing that I was sounding more like a lunatic by the second: “My degree is in finance. My master’s is in finance. My job history is in finance. I realize an investment firm might not be jumping to have me, but I assumed my local bank might throw me a bone. All my assets are frozen.” My voice going an octave higher, I added, “I have a child to raise, Enid.”

Enid took my elbow and said, “Why don’t we step into my office?” It was a kind gesture. I wasn’t being exactly polite, after all. I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself, realizing that all the tellers, several with cash in their hands, were staring at me. The lobby had gone silent.

“Actually,” an even voice from behind me said, “Charlotte, why don’t you come with me?”

I turned to see a woman I was sure I knew, but couldn’t quite place. She was petite and thin, a little older than I was, and had this sort of ethereal glow about her. She had on no makeup, her hair was long and looked as if it had perfectly, naturally fallen into waves, and she was wearing a loose, flowing dress that screamed I live at the beach. She had a preternaturally calm presence that I obviously needed right now. The room was starting to come back into focus, and the full weight of my humiliation was sinking in. What was I doing? “I’m sorry, Enid,” I whispered. “This isn’t about you.”

Enid smiled encouragingly. “I know, sweetheart. I will see what I can do to help you,” she promised. “It’s going to be okay. This town loves you.”

I turned back to the woman behind me, realizing that what Enid said wasn’t really true. I wasn’t from here, wasn’t “local,” and, while everyone knew who I was—well, everyone knew everyone, to be fair—I wasn’t exactly beloved.

“From church,” the woman behind me said. “You know me from church.”

A little laugh-sound escaped from my nostrils. “I know,” I said, as if it had been obvious to me from the beginning. “You’re in the choir.” I snapped my fingers, actually recognizing her. “Your solos always make me cry!”

That was true. She had the most angelic voice. I smiled at her and ran my fingers through my hair, trying to seem relaxed and nonchalant to mitigate some of the damage I had done with my outburst. Just what I needed: everyone in town would be talking about this now. Well, that was great. Maybe that would be more interesting than Bill’s arrest, the tidbit that, much to my chagrin, they were still discussing three days later. Not that that was a long time, of course. In fact, it was probably just enough time for the news to have reached fever pitch. In a larger place, full of scandal, people moved on to the next thing. Here, there was no next thing to move on to. Well, no, maybe that’s not true. The usual appetizers of small-town bad behavior—who left his wife for the babysitter, who got way too drunk at Coterie Club and skinny-dipped in the pool, whose facelift was entirely too drastic—were always available to gobble up. But Bill’s arrest was an entrée that everyone was eating in teeny, tiny bites.

“My name is Alice Bailey.”

“I’m Charlotte Sitterly,” I replied. Under my breath, I added, “But I think everyone in the country—or at least the state—knows that.”

“Things are never as bad as they seem,” she said. Then she scrunched her nose. “I don’t know why I said that. Sometimes things are even worse than they seem.”

That made me laugh—and remember. There was something shadowy about this Alice person. I tried to ignore rumors because this town had so many of them, but she definitely had a story. And I got the feeling that Alice knew all about things being worse than they seemed. But I didn’t have time to sit around and share sob stories. I had to figure out my next move.

“Okay, well… I think I’ll call the Shores Shuttle and head back to the hotel now. Maybe yell at an unsuspecting waiter.” I was trying to lighten the mood. I knew I was lucky that the town offered a public transportation system that I could call for pickup, but I was dreading waiting in the parking lot for it to come. I was dreading going back to the modest hotel that I could afford for two more weeks. Then what?

Just a few weeks ago, I had been ignorant about the lack of affordable housing here. I had also taken the basic, simple amazingness of car ownership completely for granted.

“I’ll drive you,” Alice said.

I gestured toward the teller. “Don’t you have banking to do?”

Alice shrugged. “It’s okay. I can come back later.”

I was about to protest, but then I thought better of it. I was used to having enough money and agency that I didn’t need anyone else. I was going to have to depend on other people if I was going to make it through. So I said, “I would appreciate that so much, Alice. That’s very kind of you.”

We walked outside, Alice hit the unlock button on her key fob, and I got into the passenger side while she slid into the driver’s seat. She pushed the start button. “Charlotte,” she said. She looked at me, and I found myself locked in her cool, appraising gray stare. I saw something there. It wasn’t pity, wasn’t sadness. It was something more like determination. “I can help you.”

I had always been leery of people who wanted to help other people. I knew that said something unflattering about me. Yet now I was surprised to find that those words out of Alice’s mouth made every tense and tightened muscle in my body and jaw relax just a squidge. “Why would you do that?” I asked.

“Let me rephrase that,” Alice said. “Charlotte, I think maybe we can help each other.”

Now, that was more like it. Pity was hard; transactional relationships I could manage. “I like the sound of that, Alice,” I said, feeling a smile grow across my face. “What did you have in mind?”

Sparks fly as Mason acquaints Daisy with Cape Carolina, introducing her to his friends and family, including his batty Aunt Tilley, who is looking for relief from long-buried family secrets and her own fresh start.

But as Daisy becomes increasingly attached to this abandoned child, and begins facing her own demons in the process, a startling discovery is made that threatens to rip the entire town of Cape Carolina apart, placing Daisy, Mason, and Tilley in the center of the storm.

Love and let die...

After a savage lycan attack destroyed her parents, Kit March has ignored the rules saying only men can be hunters and dedicated her life to destroying lycans. Her profession is hell on her love life, but she’s been resigned to the lack of romance until she meets sinfully sexy European werewolf hunter Rafe Santiago. Unfortunately, Rafe is a man with a mission: eradicate rogue hunters from the American branch...and the foremost name on his list is Kit March.

Rafe has always put business before pleasure, but something about this feisty yet vulnerable woman is doing strange things to a man who has never before allowed his emotions to get the better of him. The merciless hunter excels at eliminating threats, but he doesn't know how to handle the threat Kit poses to his heart.

The world of lycans has always been black and white. But now, suddenly, the rules are changing. Forces that have been brewing for generations put Kit and Rafe in terrible danger, and nothing they confront is quite as it seems...including each other. Is the passion between them just as illusory? Or is it the only thing real?]]> 13 02 New York Times, USA TODAY, and internationally bestselling author of more than fifty romance novels ranging from paranormal to historical, including A Fire in the Sky and the Firelight trilogy.

CHAPTER 1



Kit’s attention strayed from the man sitting across from her. Her gaze flitted over the dimly lit bar and restaurant. Only eight o’clock and the place was busy, every table full. The tiny hairs along her nape stood on end, and she shivered as she assessed her surroundings. Her gaze roamed the dance floor, the tables, then back to the bar, checking each and every face, looking, searching for the source of her unease.

Her date’s voice faded to a distant buzz. The music from the band playing onstage subsided to a dull throbbing of drums and guitars, the singer’s voice lost entirely as Kit scanned the room. Awareness tightened the skin on her face, made her ears burn and cheeks tingle.

She knew what she was looking for. It had always been so with her—this intuition, the deep sense of knowing. When it came to detecting lycans, her radar was dead on. Even better than her brother’s. At least, he claimed this.

Her gaze lit on them then. Three of them sat at the bar, the drinks in their hands untouched as their silver eyes surveyed the room, searching for something besides alcohol to quench their appetites. Four days until the full moon, and they were hungry. Starving. They looked haggard, features drawn and tight. Their bunched muscles corded and flexed beneath their shirts. Even from across the room she sensed their impatience, their desperate hunger.

The closer the full moon, the more dangerous they became. Some hunters refused to hunt altogether so close to moonrise. Not Kit. Those hunters played it safe. Cowards, in her book, disappearing when mankind most needed protection.

They flirted with a waitress, their smiles seductive, enticing, as alluring as fire to a moth. And just as deadly. The girl preened at their attention, clearly flattered, unaware of the dangerous spell they were weaving.

Kit’s eyes narrowed as one of them lifted a hand and ran it down the waitress’s shoulder in a leisurely stroke. Kit read the threat behind that caress, the barely checked hunger. Hungry in the way a beast covets its prey.

They may not be able to satisfy their blood hunger until shifted, but there were other ways to unleash their aggression, to sate their lust until moonrise. The way their feral gazes followed the young waitress as she moved off, Kit knew the unsuspecting female had just become a candidate for their dark appetites. If she didn’t do something, the waitress would be tonight’s victim.

“Hello.”

Kit snapped her attention back to her date. “Sorry,” she murmured, setting her drink down on the table and gathering up her purse. “Would you excuse me? I need to use the ladies’ room.”

Dan nodded, his soft brown eyes clouding with doubt. He was probably wondering what kind of woman he had agreed to meet for drinks tonight that she needed to dive into the restroom five minutes after saying hello.

She wound her way around tables and waiters, the heels of her boots silent on the carpet as she slipped a hand inside her purse and removed a small bottle of vanilla body spray. She had learned long ago that sweet scents such as vanilla and cinnamon worked best in attracting lycans. With a quick spritz at her throat, she dropped the bottle back in her purse.

Her heart hammering, she cut a path their way. Pasting a smile on her face, she squeezed between two of them, taking special care to brush against them. Physical contact was important. Anything to make herself noticeable.

One of them, the most striking of the trio, with dark hair and tanned skin, leaned forward on his bar-stool. She slid him a speculative glance, her smile inviting as she asked the bartender to break a twenty.

“Thanks,” she murmured, accepting her money and pushing herself off from the bar. She tossed a saucy glance over her shoulder as she sauntered away, catching sight of the dark one’s nearly imperceptible nod to his companions. The movement was slight, but enough. Enough for Kit. The trap had been set. Her brother did not approve of her tactics, but they worked for her. The soulless bastards never expected a woman to fight back. Much less pack silver.

Inhaling, she headed toward the winding iron staircase that led to the restaurant’s bottom floor, knowing that the three would follow.

Three. Not an advisable number to take on alone. But then, Kit was accustomed to doing things alone.

Leaning forward, Rafe Santiago glanced through the windshield. Fingers of red and gold clawed at the graying sky. He inhaled deeply, lowering his gaze back to the building he had been watching for the last half hour. Watching and waiting. Time was running out. Blood already laced the air, rich and pungent as freshly tilled earth.

The bar’s front door swung open. A woman stepped out. Petite, with a mass of short blond waves, she headed down the sidewalk alone, her short strides quick in sexy black boots. “Fuck-me boots.” The kind a man liked to imagine wrapped around his waist.

His gaze shot to the seat next to him, to the file there that he had memorized. The photograph within was black-and-white and not the best quality, but he would have recognized her anywhere. He recognized her now. Kit March. Rogue lycan hunter. He grimaced. Or huntress. Whatever he called her, it didn’t change the situation. He’d been sent to terminate her.

A quick glance at the night sky through his windshield brought forth a frown.

Four days until the full moon, and the beasts ran restless, almost as dangerous as when the moon beamed brightly overhead, engorged against a dark sky. He’d observed such nights before. Countless times. He knew what was to come, the carnage that resulted when hell’s foot soldiers were granted free roam, their lust for blood and flesh at its zenith.

It happened all the time. Unsolved murders around the world spoke to that. Mysterious catastrophes throughout history held no mystery for him. Lycan archivists had documented the truth. Villages sacked. Cities razed. The Siege of Jerusalem in 1099. Jamestown. The riverboat Sultana. He knew the truth behind those tragedies. Knew the blame went to lycans.

He assessed his surroundings, his nostrils flaring. Almost as though his thoughts had called them forth, the door to the bar swung open again and they emerged.

Three big bastards stepped out into the warm dusk. Even across the street’s distance, their eyes glowed a familiar silver. Pack creatures. Bold and deadly. Confidant in their power, they had not bothered to don colored contacts as some lycans did, wary of any one of the dozen hunters in the city detecting them.

They stood still as stone for a moment, not speaking as they lifted their faces to the air, no doubt catching the scent of the female who had gone ahead of them. In moments, they were moving, fast as wind, following her with avid, feral eyes as she turned into an alleyway.

Little fool likely had no idea there were three beasts on her tail. She would be overpowered in an instant.

Rafe opened his car door and stepped into the humid night. He treaded silently after them, his strides quick. He couldn’t let them get to her first. If she were attacked…

He blinked hard, refusing to contemplate the prospect. He would not allow that to happen.

For all their sakes.

Quickening his pace, he approached the alley, the sweet scent of vanilla teasing his nose as he followed in Kit March’s wake, another predator set loose on the night.]]> 44 02 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan. ]]> 08 02 New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/2f5136e8-4b4e-4945-b396-b3780024aea5 01 Gallery Books SIMO243 Gallery Books 01 01 Gallery Books SIMO243 Gallery Books 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.3125 in 02 134.94 mm 03 0.72 in 03 18.288 mm 08 0.488 lb 08 7.808 oz 08 221.35 gr 06 15 9781501104374 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 40 02 35.00 AUD AU Z 0.00 35.00 0.00 20260125 02 39.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260125 Gallery Books AU 01 20260512 9781668076408 02 02 1668076403 03 9781668076408 14 19781668076405 15 9781668076408 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The High Road</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>High Road</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle>Confessions of a Homicide Cop</Subtitle> 01 223816585 1 A01 Hank Idsinga Idsinga, Hank Hank Idsinga Toronto Life magazine as one of Toronto’s 50 Most Influential People.

From the age of ten, Hank Idsinga knew he wanted to become a homicide detective, when he learned that his grandfather had been murdered by the Nazis in the Second World War. He prepared to be a police officer his entire youth and soon found himself in ill-fitting suits training for the job. More than competent—smart, incisive, caring, respectful—Idsinga ingratiated himself to his fellow officers and to his superiors. He was as capable of tracking down a getaway man as he was informing a mother that her son, lost to crime, would never return home. Idsinga found himself at the center of some of the most notable crimes in recent Toronto history, from the Jane Creba shooting on Boxing Day to shootouts on Yonge Street to helping track down some of the most vicious serial criminals the city has ever seen.

But it was in homicide that Hank Idsinga would prove such a vital asset to the Toronto Police Services. Idsinga teamed up with his partners, including future chief of police Mark Saunders, on many murder calls—some one-offs, others more nefarious—taking in the scene with his excellent recall, finding the motive and the method faster and more insightfully than most. Idsinga and his team of seasoned detectives participated in taking down some of the worst Toronto has to offer, perhaps none more so than serial killer Bruce McArthur, who had terrorized the gay village for years. Idsinga became the public face for that investigation, and despite the criticism of the police force’s handling of the murders, Idsinga always appeared strong and compassionate in front of the media’s camera flashes.

The High Road breathes life into the true detective genre, with raw, accessible and punchy prose, as honest and compelling as the homicide detective himself. His grandfather would have been proud.]]> 13 02 Toronto Life magazine as one of Toronto’s 50 Most Influential People.

Discover what goes on behind our eyelids and what it means for our health.

Do you have common recurring dreams of missing an exam, even though it has been years since you were in college? Do certain people keep showing up in your dreams? How can you stop your dreaming brain from fixating on the same preoccupations and concerns? We spend every night of our lives dreaming, yet we remain unaware of the power and possibilities of accessing the inner sanctum of our minds.

In The Brain Never Sleeps, Karen van Kampen guides us on a journey through dreamland, sharing how we can reclaim this other realm of thought and experience to improve our well-being. Our dreams are as real to us as our waking experiences. They have the power to influence what we think, feel and do. With our dreaming brain operating in a different mode, disconnected from the demands and distractions of daily life, we brainstorm new ideas, face our fears and uncover insights into ourselves. Van Kampen, whose father opened one of the first independent sleep laboratories in North America, acts as a unique and informed guide, combining first-person narrative with highly accessible science journalism.

Van Kampen investigates neuroscience and psychology to reveal the connection between our waking and dreaming lives while also exploring what happens when people get stuck in between—the mixed brain state of parasomnias including sleepwalking and night terrors. Through the fascinating stories of dream scientists, we learn how dreams boost learning, spark creativity and process emotions. Van Kampen conducts her own dream experiments with expert researchers as her guides. The Brain Never Sleeps propels us into the next frontier of dream engineering where we can guide our dreams with the hope of improving our well-being. Her toolkit at the end of the book offers simple ways to use dreams to improve our waking and dreaming lives.

Get on the Job and Organize is a compelling, stirring narrative of the Starbucks and Tesla unionization efforts, telling the broader story of the new, nationwide labor movement unfolding in our era of political and social unrest. As one of the exciting new faces of the American Labor Movement, Jaz Brisack argues that while workers often organize when their place of work is toxic, it’s equally important to organize when you love your job. Here, Brisack delivers practical advice on how workers can and should stand up for their rights, especially when electoral politics seem to have failed us.

With an accessible tone, a deep love of labor history, and profound empathy, Brisack puts recent efforts into the context of Americans’ long tradition of organizing. In the process, they show us that we, too, can improve our workplaces, from how to educate ourselves and our colleagues, to what backlash to expect and how to fight it, to what victory looks like even if the union doesn’t necessarily win.

A “fascinating insider account” (Publishers Weekly), richly detailed, and with never-before-reported scenes, Get on the Job and Organize is a bold and galvanizing call to fight for the workplaces we deserve.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/1bede0d5-210e-435f-a6e3-b2f30023bc0d 01 Atria/One Signal Publishers SIMO674 Atria/One Signal Publishers 01 01 Atria/One Signal Publishers SIMO674 Atria/One Signal Publishers 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 8.375 in 01 212.72 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 03 0.8 in 03 20.32 mm 08 0.513 lb 08 8.208 oz 08 232.69 gr 06 15 9781668080795 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 40 02 39.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260125 02 45.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 45.00 0.00 20260125 Atria/One Signal Publishers AU 01 20260512 9781668080986 02 02 1668080982 03 9781668080986 14 19781668080983 15 9781668080986 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>You Belong Here</TitleText> <Subtitle>A Novel</Subtitle> 01 225578983 1 A01 Megan Miranda Miranda, Megan Megan Miranda is the New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls; The Perfect Stranger; The Last House Guest, which was a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick; The Girl from Widow Hills; Such a Quiet Place; The Last to Vanish; The Only Survivors; and Daughter of Mine.

Beckett Bowery never thought she’d return to Wyatt Valley, a picturesque college town in the Virginia mountains steeped in tradition. Her roots there were strong: Beckett’s parents taught at the college, and she never imagined studying anywhere else—until a tragedy her senior year ended with two local men dead, and her roommate on the run, never to be seen again.

For the last two decades, Beckett has done her best to stay away. But when her daughter, Delilah, secretly applies to Wyatt College and earns a full scholarship, Beckett can only hope her fears are unfounded. Deep down she knows that Wyatt Valley has a long memory, and that both the past and present timelines hold dangers—and that some secrets never stay buried.

A gripping atmospheric suspense novel with a chilling twist ending, You Belong Here is a must-read psychological thriller from a writer Entertainment Weekly calls “a master of cleverly constructed thrillers.”]]> 13 02 is the New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls; The Perfect Stranger; The Last House Guest, which was a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick; The Girl from Widow Hills; Such a Quiet Place; The Last to Vanish; The Only Survivors; and Daughter of Mine.

PROLOGUE
I knew how easily a story could shift. How quickly the public could turn. I’d seen it happen, twenty years earlier. A game sliding into a crime. A tradition twisting into a nightmare.

I watched as an arc slowly emerged from the series of headlines and police bulletins, until the story had a shape, the truth a sharp end point.

Structure Fire at Perimeter of Wyatt College Burns Through Night

Two Local Men Deceased in Steam Tunnels Under Campus

Police Seek Public’s Assistance in Locating Missing Student, Adalyn Vale

Person of Interest Named in Fire Deaths of Two Men

Wanted for questioning: Adalyn Vale

Wanted for murder: Adalyn Vale

In the days that followed, I’d felt a shift happening inside of me, too.

Confusion. She’d been my roommate for nearly four years—had been my closest friend in those earliest years of adulthood.

Denial. Thinking that the witnesses were mistaken. That she hadn’t meant to do it. It must’ve been an accident—flames in the wind, catching and spreading.

Anger. Because she had fled without a word. And in her absence, I was the only one left to answer for her.

And finally: Fear.

Fear that she’d done exactly what they claimed and I hadn’t known her at all.

Fear because the police thought I was protecting her. And now they kept coming back to me.

1. “Who Has A Secret?” Game

Lean into the theme of unreliable narrators and hidden pasts with a fun and low-stress game! Invite everyone in the group to write down a fake secret about themselves on a scrap of paper — something plausible but a little shocking (“I once got lost in the woods overnight,” “I changed my name in college,” “I used to break into abandoned houses with friends”). Put all the secrets into a bowl then take turns pulling them out and guessing who wrote what! If the group wants to take it up a notch, try another round where everyone submits three entries: two truths and one secret lie. Who can guess what’s real or not?

2. Where Do You Belong?

Reflect on a place or a situation where you felt like you truly belonged; what was it about the location, people, or anything else that made you feel welcome? Discuss whether there are any commonalities between everyone’s stories, and the power of finding your place in a community. Then, if you’d like to take it in a lighter or spookier direction, have each person suggest a place or situation they’d never want to find themselves alone. Vote for whoever comes up with the most chilling “alone” scenario!

Bring the eerie atmosphere of You Belong Here to life by creating a mood board. Use magazine cutouts, printed images, colors, textures or even suggest song pairings that evoke the novel’s key elements. Share your finished boards with the group and discuss how they capture the mood and themes.

A conversation with Megan Miranda[WL1]

Q: What inspired you to write a mystery centered around a college town with deep historical roots and secrets?

A: This idea first came to me on a long road trip with my daughter the summer before she graduated high school. We mapped out a route up and down the east coast with a plan to stop at a college each day—sometimes two. It was a fun adventure all on its own, but at some point, the stories and traditions mentioned on each of the tours started to blend together, even though each place had such a unique history. At one point I leaned over to my daughter and whispered, “I wonder what they don’t want us to know.” And suddenly, the idea for You Belong Here was born. The idea kept growing throughout the trip, so that by the time we were home, I was ready to start. I asked my daughter whether it was weird to write a story about a mother sending her child off to college just as I was about to do the same. She assured me that it was, in fact, strange—but that I should do it anyway.

Q: How did you go about creating the “first howling” tradition? Was it inspired by anything you’ve experienced?

A: I knew an important tradition was going to play a pivotal role in the story, and I wanted it to feel like something that could only belong to this one specific place. I’m very inspired by setting, and when I’ve stayed in the mountains, I have at times heard that distinct and haunting wind—the kind that sounds like a howl. The first description I wrote about the town of Wyatt Valley had to do with the two states of being: the stillness, and the howling. So when I was imagining a tradition that would endure for generations, I knew this had to be a part of the lore. What I loved about the idea of a tradition centered on the first howling of the year is that you can’t predict it, can’t plan for it too much—and that there aren’t really that many rules. What people choose to do within the confines of that tradition largely depends on the group participating each year. It’s something that feels alive and changing, and no one, really, sees everything going on.

Q: Beckett is a complex and flawed protagonist, but one who loves fiercely. What was your approach to developing her character?

A: In my mind, Beckett became a different person when she left Wyatt Valley. She seized the opportunity to re-create herself, and she rebuilt her life around her daughter, Delilah. But all the facets of her still exist. When I’m getting to know a character, I try to understand what forms the center of their moral code—the thing that most strongly influences every decision they make. And for Beckett, that center is Delilah. So even though she makes choices that others may question, at the heart, she is making them for one reason—and it is grounded in a deep love. In a thriller, you’re unravelling a character by pushing them to extremes, and in doing so, I believe you expose the core of who they are. Not who they pretend to be. Not even who they want to be. But the person that truly exists deep inside.

Q: The past greatly influences the present in You Belong Here. What were your goals in weaving together the dual timelines?

A: When I wrote the first draft of this book, there was only a single timeline. In that version, Beckett was reminiscing about the past, but we didn’t get to experience it firsthand. But by the end of that draft, I realized that the past lives in Wyatt Valley, and it seemed important to bring it directly onto the page. In creating that second timeline, I was able to drop in and see who each character was in the past—not just Beckett. It allowed for me to experience the emotion of what brought her to the person she is in the present. It allowed for us to meet Adalyn the same way Beckett had, and to show how the tradition of the howling changed for Beckett through the years. Most importantly, I think it allowed for Adalyn to become a real haunting presence in the town. My goal with the dual timelines was to be able to experience the escalation of events, and to understand the choices of each character that led them to opposing sides in a tragedy.

Q: How do you balance building suspense in a mystery while also exploring deeper emotional themes like belonging and motherhood?

A: For me, the emotional themes help build the suspense. When I start a draft, I always feel like there’s something I’m exploring under the surface of the plot. That theme often helps connect the different relationships and plot points, and gives deeper meaning to the character’s actions. But it also allows for points of conflict. The theme of belonging created so much tension within this story, and in Beckett herself, as she learned she couldn’t belong to both the town and the college. I kept wondering: What will characters do to belong—to one side or the other? And the question kept evolving as I wrote: Where, and to whom, do each of us truly belong? What do we owe one another, and ultimately ourselves?

Q: What message or themes do you hope readers take away from You Belong Here?

A: I think this is, in many ways, a book about second chances. Whether it’s a chance to make different choices from[WL2] what we had in the past, or to act differently from the generation before us—or maybe just to understand it. To see a place, or a person, through a different lens. I think Beckett would say that the future isn’t finite, and the story of your life can always change.

Q: Can you discuss the process of crafting the characters of Adalyn Vale and Violet Wharton? What importance do they hold in the story?

A: In hindsight, I think Adalyn and Violet represent opposing perspectives in Wyatt Valley. Violet was someone who grew up in the town, but a generation later, she seems to have crossed that divide, with her child now attending Wyatt College. In contrast, Adalyn was someone who solely belonged to the college, but whose actions ultimately cast a long shadow over the entire town. Both characters were larger than life in their own orbits, but they come from very different worlds. Beckett always felt like she straddled the two worlds, but Adalyn and Violet were firmly on opposing sides. That history is deeply ingrained in who each of them they are. But time, of course, can change things. . . .

Q: Were any elements of Wyatt Valley inspired by your own experiences or observations?

A: The town and college are fully fictional, but I think there are likely pieces of inspiration from many of the places we visited. The architecture style of one, the geography of another. A beautiful hillside of buildings in the distance, and a library full of history somewhere else. I think there’s a universality to the existence of many of these elements, but they become uniquely fine-tuned from each place’s own history and setting. Part of the fun of starting a new project is creating that history and seeing a new world come to life.

Q: What drew you to the themes of guilt and personal redemption in this novel?

A: The first thing I usually try to learn about my main character is what they’re afraid of—not just on the surface, but underneath. The things they don’t want others to know. The plot almost forms in opposition to that as I write, so that ultimately, they have to come face to face with themselves. For Beckett, I found myself wondering: What if you couldn’t avoid the past any longer? What if you faced it head-on? So in a way, Beckett’s secrets created that arc of guilt and redemption, and raised the question: What does the other side of that look like? Or, more importantly, how do you get there?

Q: What’s next for you? Can you share anything about upcoming projects?

A: I am hard at work on a new thriller, but I don’t want to say too much about it just yet! It’s set in the mountains of North Carolina and primarily takes place in the aftermath of a jury trial. I’m very excited to see where it takes me!​]]> 08 02 —The View]]> 08 02 US WEEKLY

Jill Damatac left the United States in 2015 after living there as an undocumented immigrant with her family for twenty-two years. America was the only home she knew, where invisibility had become her identity and where poverty, domestic violence, ill health, and xenophobia were everyday experiences.

First traveling to her native Philippines, Damatac eventually settled in London, England, where she was free to pursue an education at the University of Cambridge, fully investigate her roots, and process what happened to her and her family. After nine years, she was granted British citizenship, and returned to the United States, for the first time without fear of deportation or retribution.

Damatac weaves together forgotten colonial history and long-buried Indigenous tradition, taking us through her time in America, and cooking her way through Filipino recipes in her kitchen as she searches for a sense of self and renewed possibility. With emotional intelligence, clarity, and grace, Dirty Kitchen explores fractured memories to ask questions of identity, colonialism, immigration, and belonging, and to find ways in which the ritual, tradition, and comfort of food can answer them.]]> 13 02  Her film and photography work has been featured on the BBC and in Time, and at film festivals worldwide; her short documentary film Blood and Ink (Dugo at Tinta), about the Indigenous Filipino tattooist Apo Whang Od, was an official selection at the Academy Award–qualifying DOC NYC and won Best Documentary at Ireland’s Kerry Film Festival.

Thirty-eight-year-old Blue Velour has finally achieved the critical acclaim she’s long been chasing. Over the last decade, she’s released six studio albums to mixed reviews, landing her somewhere between performance artist and niche legend. But her latest album, Blue’s Beard—a cheeky reference to the subreddit fanatically dedicated to her suspected secret relationship with longtime producer Sasha Harlow—has rocket-launched her reputation. Blue hires nerdy superfan Rose Lutz as her assistant to handle the pressures of the upcoming tour.

When the pandemic shuts down the tour, however, Blue decides to hole up in the redwoods with Sasha to make another album. An aspiring singer herself, Rose is frothing at the mouth to be isolated in a cabin with these two legends, but what begins as a creative retreat spirals into a flurry of chaos and betrayal—culminating in a tragic act that changes their lives forever.

Now Shelley is back in Kissimmee, Florida, working the night shift at a kitschy motel near Disney World—the very same job she held in high school. Shelley’s life is a black hole while those who caused the incident that cost her everything have been free to happily move on with their lives. But one night, the beautiful, enigmatic Sophia Moon checks in to Shelley’s motel with her husband and young son. Sophia’s appearance is far from random—she too has experienced a public shaming, and she proposes a plan to help Shelley get back what she deserves and enact revenge on the three people responsible for the worst day of her life.

Shelley returns with Sophia to New York with a new identity, new career, and new ambitions. Shelley ingratiates herself in her targets’ worlds until they begin to suffer one odd calamity after another. Soon Sophia’s support turns to obsession, as Shelley is forced to reckon with Sophia’s dark and mysterious past and the chilling truth that Sophia’s real plans are far beyond what Shelley ever imagined.]]> 13 02 The Plans I Have for You is her debut novel. Her first name is pronounced like the English word lie.]]> 08 02 LIBRARY JOURNAL]]> 08 02 PUBLISHERS WEEKLY]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/b68edf96-ad07-4405-b23b-b2f40026526f 01 Simon & Schuster SIMO001 Simon & Schuster 01 01 Simon & Schuster SIMO001 Simon & Schuster 04 20260414 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 03 0.865 in 03 21.971 mm 08 1.213 lb 08 19.408 oz 08 550.21 gr 27 15 9781668087947 06 15 9781668087930 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260414 20 02 59.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260125 02 69.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 69.99 0.00 20260125 Simon & Schuster AU 01 20260414 9781668090206 02 02 1668090201 03 9781668090206 14 19781668090203 15 9781668090206 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>On Her Game</TitleText> <Subtitle>Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women's Sports</Subtitle> 01 231445347 1 A01 Christine Brennan Brennan, Christine Christine Brennan USA TODAY; a commentator for ABC, CNN, and PBS NewsHour; and the bestselling author of Inside Edge, named one of the top 100 sports books of all time by Sports Illustrated.

An electrifying portrait of sports phenomenon Caitlin Clark, whose record-breaking rise from NCAA women’s basketball to the WNBA has captivated the nation—by award-winning journalist Christine Brennan, one of the most respected voices in women’s sports.

America has never seen an athlete like Caitlin Clark. With her famous logo threes, viral highlights, and massive fan following, she has redefined women’s basketball and inspired a generation of fans. In On Her Game, Brennan delivers an intimate and deeply reported Caitlin Clark biography, drawn from dozens of interviews and behind-the-scenes access.

Tracing her journey from the University of Iowa to the Indiana Fever, Brennan explores Clark’s formative years, her record-setting college career—where she scored more points than any woman or man in major college basketball history—and her controversial Olympic snub by USA Basketball. Along the way, Brennan covers key moments shaping the landscape: charter flights for WNBA players amid security concerns, national media pressure, and the tensions Clark’s success stirred in a league still reckoning with issues of race, equity, and visibility.

The 2024 WNBA season was a turning point. One of the league’s most talented rookies, Clark packed arenas coast to coast, signing autographs for girls, speaking with poise under pressure, and igniting a new era of attention for women athletes. Her arrival has drawn comparisons to sports legends like Serena Williams, Sue Bird, and Diana Taurasi—but Clark is writing her own chapter.

Coming just over fifty years after Title IX, On Her Game is more than a sports biography. It’s a celebration of female athlete role models, a look at the GOAT debate in women’s basketball, and an inspiring story about how one woman changed the game—and how a country fell in love with her.]]> 13 02 USA TODAY; a commentator for ABC, CNN, and PBS NewsHour; and the bestselling author of Inside Edge, named one of the top 100 sports books of all time by Sports Illustrated.

We all know how it started: a teenage girl from Pennsylvania moved to Nashville and soon rose to the top of the country music charts. This is where Taylor Swift’s story started in 2006, but it’s also where our story, as Swifties, began.

The Story of Us is a heartfelt journey through Swiftie history, capturing the evolution of a fandom that has stood the test of time. Told through the lens of personal experiences, this book chronicles the rise of a fandom that has remained fiercely loyal through every era. From calling radio stations to request “Tim McGraw,” to those unforgettable moments on Tumblr when Taylor and fans felt like friends, to surviving the Ticketmaster war—we’ve been there. We’ve learned life lessons, traded friendship bracelets, mastered time zone math to tune into live streams, and created a language only another Swiftie—or Taylor herself—could understand. But beyond all of these shared moments, what truly binds us is how Taylor’s lyrics feel like they were written just for us—like reflections of our own stories.

This passionate and unique fandom has won awards and been intensely studied, but for the first time, fans can reminisce and celebrate what it means to be part of this life-changing community. A love letter written by a Swiftie, for Swifties, The Story of Us ensures that our story will never be forgotten.]]> 13 02 USA TODAY as one of the biggest Taylor Swift social media influencers, Olivia now blends her love of music and fandom culture with entrepreneurial ventures in entertainment and media.

In Torched, Vigliotti brings readers inside the inferno that devastated Los Angeles, weaving on-the-ground reporting with the deeper story of how a century of unchecked development and political mismanagement set the stage for disaster. With clarity and verve, he recounts the chaos of the fire, the flawed emergency response, and the human stories of survival and loss in the city he loves.

But this is more than a chronicle of destruction. Vigliotti unravels this catastrophe by placing it within the larger history of Los Angeles, a city that has in many ways been defined by its attraction to reinvention and deference to those who “move fast and break things”—an impulse that now puts it at risk of a short-sighted post-fire rebuild in the run-up to the 2028 Olympic Games. A future that might maximize profits but could potentially do too little to prevent similar disasters in the future or address the rampant inequities this blaze brought to global attention.

But her latest album, Blue’s Beard—a cheeky reference to the subreddit fanatically dedicated to her suspected secret relationship with longtime producer Sasha Harlow—has rocket-launched her reputation. Blue hires nerdy superfan Rose Lutz as her assistant, to handle the pressures of the upcoming tour. 

When the pandemic shuts down the tour, Blue decides to hole up in the redwoods with Sasha to make another album. An aspiring singer herself, Rose is frothing at the mouth to be isolated in a cabin with these two legends, but what begins as a creative retreat, spirals into a flurry of chaos and betrayal—culminating in a tragic act that changes their lives forever.

Morris Warner is withering away. After the sudden death of his husband, Fred, he has shut himself off from the world. No more going to movies with friends, or swims in Lake Michigan, instead preferring the quiet loneliness of his history books and Jeopardy! episodes with only the cat to hear his answers.

Morris’s stepdaughter, Sloan, feels like she has nowhere to grow. She’s about to get married to the man of her dreams, if only her mother will let her actually plan her own wedding and trust her to build her own life after her father’s death.

Jade is drying out. Literally. As a plant in Morris’s home, she and her plant housemates have been slowly wasting away, leaf by falling leaf, since Fred’s death and Morris’s lack of care. She needs to come up with a plan to make her new owner come back to life, no matter what it takes.

New York Times bestselling author Robbie Couch’s Bloom is a wondrous novel where family, love, kindness, and yes, Mother Nature, triumph.

Set in the Lower Shabeele region of Somalia, Winter of My Spring is a story of what happens to Rada and her friends Mika and Sara after they are kidnapped by Al-Shabaab and forced to become child brides. For months, the girls live in fear and endure the harshest of conditions among their extremist kidnappers—but after Rada and Mika see Sara die as a suicide bomber, they know they must escape. 

After running away from their captors, Rada and Mika manage to return home, only to find themselves rejected by their community because they’ve “known a man’s bed” and are therefore, according to their customs, considered ruined and broken women. 

Winter of My Spring explores what happens to kidnapped girls during their captivity and after they survive the violence and abuse of their abductors. Like the protagonist in Call Her Freedom, by Tara Dorabji, Rada and Mika are forced to navigate a world that denies them autonomy, yet they find resilience and hope in the process of healing and self-discovery.]]> 13 02 Fartumo Kusow was born in Somalia but immigrated to Canada in 1991 at the start of Somalia’s civil war.

After suffering a loss, Janine and her husband Kamal need a fresh start. They leave their family and everything they know in Manchester and move to Bamblethorpe, a picturesque Lancashire village where they expect nothing but peace and quiet. It’ll be just what Janine, a thriller writer, needs to work on her next manuscript.

But the peace of their new village life is disrupted when longtime local Alexa Clarke goes missing out of the blue. Did she leave her husband like some people suspect? Or is there credibility to the rumours that something more nefarious has happened to Alexa?

Frozen by writer’s block, Janine stumbles into investigating Alexa’s disappearance, and the more she discovers about Alexa’s life, the more complicated things become. Nothing is as it seems, and Janine begins to realise that there are disturbing parallels between Alexa’s life and her own.

What starts as curious procrastination quickly spirals into a tangled web of secrets, lies and a truth Janine may not be ready to face … if she survives.

Forty-nine-year-old Grace Miller is the ultimate good girl. Good wife, good mother, good role model. She has to be, she’s been married to a notable evangelical Christian pastor for nearly thirty years.

But when Grace’s marriage implodes very publicly, she realises she’s spent her entire life putting other people’s needs first – and she’s had enough. Determined to shake things up, Grace writes a ‘f*ck-it’ list of fifty bad decisions to complete before she turns fifty. But just as she starts to reclaim herself, her family throws her some unexpected curve balls that threaten to derail the plan.

With the emotional heart and complex family dynamics of Marian Keyes and Monica McInerney, combined with the sharp humour of Kathy Lette and Caitlin Moran, Disgraceful tramples the idea that women should grow old gracefully, and posits that sometimes bad decisions are the best ones you can make.

Professional bull rider Emmett Bush is not looking for love. He’s looking for a paycheck to save his family’s farm from bankruptcy. So, when he agrees to be the leading man on a hot new reality dating show, Romance Ranch, he’s already decided it’s all one big performance.

Until Julia Silva walks onto his property. Smart, snarky, beautiful, and off-limits in more ways than one. As the location consultant on set and the little sister of his most bitter professional rival, she’s the last woman who should pique his interest.

Julia has been warned about Emmett. She knows better than to fall for his cocky swagger, broad shoulders, and smoldering good looks. Plus, she’s sworn off relationships.

But as Julia and Emmett work together, mutual distaste grows into an unexpected connection and then… something more.

Soon, they find themselves searching for excuses to spend time together and out of reach of the cameras. Knowing glances. Stolen kisses. Secret rendezvous.

Still, Emmett signed up to play the role of an eligible bachelor searching for the one. His family’s land and legacy depend on him completing the show.

The problem is, he’s already fallen in love.

Just not with a contestant.

The nursing profession is one historically filled with everyday heroes; men and women engaged in challenging work that can often prove the difference between life and death. Nursing Sisters Margaret Anderson and Vera Torney of the 2/13th Australian General Hospital felt far from heroic as they boarded the converted cargo ship Empire Star in 1942 following a hastily contrived and ultimately perilous plan to evacuate the last Australian nurses from Singapore after Japanese occupation. The courageous and selfless actions of Sisters Anderson and Torney while under fire on a nightmare voyage would deservedly earn them the highest civilian awards for bravery.

Without exception, all the nurses had requested to stay and tend to their wounded patients, but were ordered to evacuate on three ships – the Wah Sui, Empire Star and the ill-fated Vyner Brooke.   The tragic, harrowing story of the nurses evacuating on the Vyner Brooke is also recounted, with 21 survivors of the sinking later shot down in cold blood on Banka Island. Against the odds, there was a solitary survivor of the massacre: Sister Vivian Bullwinkel. 

In addition to saluting two courageous Australian war nurses, this deeply-researched book pays respectful homage to all the Australian nurses who lost their lives during the hurried evacuation of Singapore and those who survived only to become prisoners of the Japanese for more than three desperate years.

'Is there any hope for us? is not a question we can answer, and this book does it brilliantly.’ Lauren Olyer, author of No Judgement

What do we inherit from the world and the people in it? And what do we do with that inheritance?

Pip’s life is going nowhere. She’s a university drop-out stuck in a dead-end job at a Melbourne lobster shack. But when her long-absent father dies, she’s left an orphan and fifty-thousand dollars richer. She doesn’t know what to do with her windfall until she meets Sasha, a dashing young scholar of Balkan literature.

Together, they hatch a mad plan: buy a decrepit house on a distressed Greek island where Sasha will write and Pip will sort out what to do with her life. However, instead of bohemian idyll, the couple find themselves ensnared in an environmental struggle that brings the mistakes of the past into sharp relief.

A dazzling, subversive debut novel by the acclaimed author of Blueberries, this is a literary page-turner about love, lust, legacy and the last days of civilisation as we know it. Instead of hiding from the world we’ve inherited, The Ruiners asks how we can create a better one.

But the murders have always been fictional until now …

Virginia spends her summers roleplaying murder mysteries with her grandmother and the other theatrical residents of Castle Claude. But this year, everything has changed. Claude, the building owner, has died, and everyone from estranged relatives to sleazy property developers is deadset on getting the most from his will.

To save the community they have always loved, Virginia will have to team up with Felix, the frustrating – or is that frustratingly handsome? – grandson of another resident.

Nina Harrow and Patrick Colson are only twelve years old when they are whisked from their disenfranchised mining towns to dazzling Belavere City to be tested for magical abilities. Nina’s lifelong dream is to become an Artisan, a powerful elemental mage who fulfills the city’s grand ambitions, while Patrick wants only to return to his family of Craftsmen.

Together, they discover a devastating secret: Artisans aren’t born, but chosen. With this information, they take their future into their own hands. Patrick departs for home, while Nina finds her place as one of the rarest, most coveted types of Artisan.

When a Craftsman revolution ignites years later, Nina is captured by Patrick’s rebel group – and despite the years, he hasn’t forgotten her. In fact, he needs her help for a mission that could shift the tides against Belavere City, which she reluctantly accepts, battling the sparks between them. But when Nina’s first love reappears, asking her to betray Patrick for the Artisans, she faces an impossible choice that will determine the fate of their world.

One summer night in 1930, Judge Joseph Crater steps into a New York City cab and is never heard from again. Behind this great man are three women, each with her own tale to tell: Stella, his fashionable wife, the picture of propriety; Maria, their steadfast maid, indebted to the judge; and Ritzi, his showgirl mistress, willing to seize any chance to break out of the chorus line.

As the twisted truth emerges, Ariel Lawhon’s wickedly entertaining debut mystery transports us into the smoky jazz clubs, seedy backstage dressing rooms and shadowy streets beneath the Art Deco skyline.

The Pregnancy Myths Guide is a psychology-based, research-informed, relatable guide for women unsure about the rules of pregnancy, struggling with how things ‘should’ be, tired of conflicting advice, or wanting to do things differently this time around. Pregnancy is not always a glowing, picture-perfect experience; for many, it’s messy, confusing, and mentally exhausting.

Clinical and perinatal psychologist Dr Emma Black offers a practical approach to understand helpful truths from unhelpful myths, empowering mothers to become more flexible with expectations, emotions, and experiences as they move through pregnancy.

The book is divided into:
•  Part One: Fifteen pregnancy myths are debunked, giving you a validating, supportive guide for a pregnancy free from unnecessary stresses.
•    Part Two: Introduces psychological skills to help you overcome the pregnancy myths that don’t serve you.
You deserve the greatest start to growing your family, free from unnecessary expectations and stress. This book will make every parent feel less alone and more empowered
– because one size does not fit all.

More than the burnout, the endless striving, the quiet ache of disconnection. More than the roles she’s performed, the versions of herself she’s outgrown, the world that taught her she wasn’t enough.
In this tender and timely book, best-selling author, PhD researcher, and feminine wisdom teacher Megan Dalla-Camina guides readers on a profound journey of remembrance. Drawing from decades of leadership work, personal spiritual practice, and academic research in women’s spirituality, she invites us to awaken the inner knowing that has never been lost – only forgotten.
Blending soulful storytelling, cultural reflection, and spiritual insight, She Who Remembers offers a path to reclaim what has always belonged to us: our voice, our power, our truth. Through feminine codes of intuition, embodiment, devotion, presence, and the rhythm of our cycles and seasons, readers are gently guided back to the source of their own innate wisdom.
This is not a book of instruction. It’s a book of awakening and initiation. One that reminds us we were never meant to do this alone. That remembering is a collective act.
For women navigating life transitions, midlife shifts or spiritual longing, She Who Remembers is both mirror and map. A comforting companion for the sacred path home to yourself.

Ten-year-old Wren has always felt invisible. Mum is busy working two jobs, his brother has his own life, and at school, Wren hides in the library with the books his grandmother taught him to love. Grandma is the only person who truly sees him — until she has a stroke and is forced to move away to a nursing home in the city. Lonelier than ever, Wren writes to the Prime Minister for help. When no reply comes, his small act of hope takes on a life of its own — and Wren discovers he isn’t the only one who feels forgotten. As his town rallies around him, Wren learns that real solutions don’t come from politicians, but from the people who call the town home. A moving story about isolation, connection, and how one quiet voice can make a difference — echoing the warmth of Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds and the emotional honesty of Aster’s Good, Right Things.

The fastest growing demographic in Australia are retirees, with the number of people over 75 expected to double within 10 years. Retirement is often touted as a worry-free time – but it's also a time full of unique challenges.

Retirement can be a jungle of decision-making.

What sort of assets will you invest in?
How long will your money last?
Are you eligible for any age pension?
Is downsizing right for you?
How much should you spend now, and how much would you like to leave to your kids?

Add the challenges of finding the right advice, understanding new products that keep evolving, estate planning, volatile markets, unexpected events such as the global financial crisis and COVID-19, and continual changes to our tax, superannuation, age pension and aged care regulations... Above all, how do you value and nurture your greatest assets — your health and your relationships?

These are just a few of the major issues covered in Retirement Made Simple – by acclaimed financial expert Noel Whittaker, who has been writing about these issues for more than 35 years

This updated edition of Retirement Made Simple includes the major superannuation and pension changes for 2024/2025 and this book will be your guide for the rest of your life.

Their craftsmanship graces landmarks such as Central Station's mosaic floor, the marble-clad David Jones, and the gleaming columns of the Commonwealth Bank in Martin Place. Sydneysiders have marvelled at the Tasman Map in the Mitchell Library, reflected on sacrifice in the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, quietly contemplated the crypt beneath St Mary’s Cathedral, and been entertained amidst the opulent interiors of the State Theatre.

By the 1960s, ninety per cent of the marble, scagliola, and terrazzo work in Sydney’s public buildings had been created by Melocco Bros. Yet their contributions remained underappreciated. In Painting with Stone, architectural historian Zeny Edwards celebrates the brothers' legacy, revealing their innovation and artistry. Through their mastery, inanimate stone became a medium of storytelling, embedding the Melocco Bros' names in Australia’s architectural history.

Seventeen-year-old Kateiko doesn’t want to be Rin anymore — not if it means sacrificing lives to protect the dead.

But as the months pass and her body becomes increasingly strange, the pregnancy guides seem insufficient; even the advice of her friends, passionate proponents of one birthing approach or another, feels oppressive.  
So she widens her frame of reference, looking beyond humans to ask what motherhood looks like in other species. Here begins a queerer, wilder process of enquiry – one in which spiders, polar bears, bonobos and burying beetles (among others) begin to unsettle & expand her notion of what mothering is; what it could be. 
As she enters the sleeplessness, chaos and intimate discoveries of life with a newborn, these animal stories become Helen’s companions and guides. Revealing the deceits inherent in the vision of the ‘natural’ mother – the muted nursery walls of Instagram and the airbrushed images designed to sell her things – she becomes increasingly compelled to explore where her own animality begins and ends, and to fathom how the stuff of human industry has come to influence life even from its very beginnings. 
A passionate, visceral and radical account of a body changed, Mother 
Animal combines personal memoir with fresh insights from evolutionary biology, zoology and toxicology to reach through to questions that lie at the heart of what it means to be alive – and a mother – today.

Who stands to gain from an asylum system that is intentionally hostile? Anywhere But Here is a powerful exposé of Britain’s broken asylum system and how it fails us all.

Each year tens of thousands of people risk their lives to cross the Channel in small boats hoping to find safety in Britain. Yet the very system designed to protect them has all but collapsed. With unique and unparalleled access, award-winning journalist and former Home Office insider Nicola Kelly takes us behind the scenes of the small boats crisis for the first time.

We follow the under-resourced coastguard overseeing search and rescue operations in the Channel. The decision-makers hired from McDonald’s and Aldi to conduct ‘life and death’ asylum interviews. The immigration barristers securing last-minute reprieves for deportees who narrowly escaped death. And we step inside the Home Office corridors as ministers and advisors respond to emerging crises and scandals, from Windrush to the Rwanda plan.

At its heart are the stories of war-torn arrivals, lone teenagers and trafficked women attempting to settle in cities, towns and villages across the UK. We travel to meet them, exploring where they have fled from and why, and the response of local communities to their new neighbours.

Situated on the beaches and the ports, in the hotels, the courtrooms and the detention centres where the futures of those affected unfold, this is a searing investigation into one of the most urgent and shocking injustices of our time.

He has contributed to numerous English language media, including The Financial Times; Nikkei; The Diplomat; and The Times of Central Asia. This includes reporting over the past year from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. He has visited all fifteen former USSR republics since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022. He lives in London.

Instead, he found flashing blue lights, Champagne Sundays and an 85% approval rating for Vladimir Putin.

Eight years, 60,000 miles and one full-scale invasion later, Barnes set out to discover how every former Soviet republic – from war-scarred Ukraine to tech-hungry Estonia, oil-rich Kazakhstan to the torch-lit streets of Armenia – has fared since the red flag fell in 1991. How have the fifteen countries navigated their first thirty-five years of independence? 

Travelling by rattling platzkart train, hitch-hiking and riding in the exclusively white cars mandated by the dentist dictator in Turkmenistan, he gathers a chorus of voices: taxi-drivers nursing small-town resentments, ex-gulag guards, TikTok-fuelled activists, queers on the run from police raids and billion-dollar oligarchs who still swear by Stalin. Barnes is in Moscow when Putin invades Ukraine and ends his journey in war-torn Kiev. The result is a deeply human, darkly comic portrait of a region the West still misunderstands – and a warning of what happens when empires break but the habits of empire refuse to die. 

By turns hilarious, angry and heart-stopping, this is an indispensable political travelogue. If you loved The Silk Roads, Nothing to Envy or The Places in Between, and have a soft spot for Bill Bryson, clear space on your shelf: this is the book for you.

Solomon Kane.

In the wake of several grisly murders, Solomon Kane has been summoned to Windsend, England, to determine a woman’s guilt. Is Sybil Eastey a witch? And is she behind these gruesome crimes?

His first night in Windsend, Kane awakens from horrific nightmares only to witness a man being torn asunder. Fear quickly turns to something more sinister and the villagers are ready to lynch Sybil before Kane intervenes.

Kane must establish Sybil’s true nature and solve the macabre mystery before more blood is spilt. However, nothing is what it seems in Windsend.

Liam Orville has been dead for ten months and has no idea how to move on. But the longer he stays, the more likely it is he’ll degrade into an energy consuming husk—which Drew is more concerned about than her grades or her inability to make meaningful connections with other students. 

Drew is everything Liam never was when he was alive, but they do share some common ground: Drew finds herself hopelessly attracted to—and completely tongue-tied around—Hannah Sullivan, who happens to be Liam’s former best friend.

After a run-in with a ghost-eating monster leaves Drew and Liam desperate for answers, they strike up a deal: In return for Drew investigating why Liam is still around, he’ll help her talk to Hannah. But Liam’s time is running out, and if Drew doesn’t help him move on, he risks becoming a monster himself.

Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.

But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece.

Unfortunately, between them and safety lies a forest full of elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures…a human being.

But not Shadowhunter Matthew Fairchild and his loyal golden retriever, Oscar Wilde. No. Matthew is searching for himself aboard the Majestic, a grand 19th century ocean liner sailing from Greece to Constantinople. But he isn’t sure what he’s looking for yet. It might be himself.

Matthew wants nothing more than to mourn the death of a friend and peacefully enjoy his travels before reuniting with his friends James Herondale and Cordelia Carstairs at the London Institute of Shadowhunters—a secret society of angel-blooded humans who protect the mundane world from demons and Downworlders. But that’s interrupted when someone is murdered on the ship—and a vampire Downworlder lurks in the darkness.

Together with Sylvain Verlac, a mysterious and captivating Parisian Shadowhunter with a secret grief of his own, Matthew must find the murderer on the Majestic before death strikes again.

THE BATTLEFIELD’S A CLEANER PLACE THAN MILLI-COM WILL EVER BE.

Nu-Earth: a whole world lost to the endless war between Nort and Souther forces, its atmosphere poisoned, its landscape pulverised. Searching this wasted planet is the Rogue Trooper, last survivor of the Genetic Infantry, accompanied only by the bio-chipped “ghosts” of his comrades on his quest for the traitor who betrayed them.

Three years after the massacre that destroyed his unit, Rogue finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that reaches to the topmost levels of Souther high command. On Milli-Com, the South’s orbiting control centre, an attempt to revive the Genetic Infantry program has gone badly wrong – and left Rogue’s fellow GI Gunnar at the mercy of a madman. In the classic You Only Die Twice, series creator Gerry Finley-Day and artist Cam Kennedy set GI against GI, as Gunnar embarks on an assassination run- under orders he cannot disobey. When A GI Dies, by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and Patrick Goddard (Judge Dredd, Nina Petrova and the Angels of Death), sees Rogue investigating the fallout of Gunnar’s deadly mission - and uncovering something infinitely more terrible, as the graves of the lost GI Regiment are violated in the most unspeakable way.

There is a price to be paid for bringing back the dead, even on electronic bio-chips. There are secrets Milli-Com does not want known, that only the Dolls – the female GIs never committed to combat – can help Rogue uncover. And there are ghosts haunting the lifeless plains of the Quartz Zone, where the Genetic Infantry Regiment died - and the story of Rogue Trooper was born in tragedy and blood.]]> 13 02 Garth Ennis began his career on Crisis, 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, for which he wrote Judge Dredd, Strontium Dogs, True Faith and others. Outside of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic he is known for Preacher, The Boys, Hitman, The Punisher and a great many war comics - including War Stories, Battlefields, Out Of The Blue, The Stringbags and Sara.

Patrick Goddard’s clean art style has graced many strips in the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. Co-creator of the Megazine series Wardog, he has penciled Judge Dredd, Mean Machine, Middenface McNulty, Sinister Dexter and took over the art duties on Savage from Charlie Adlard.]]> 08 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/839e06d3-fc03-4b8f-9259-b2cb00493cd7 01 2000 AD SIMO168 2000 AD 01 01 2000 AD SIMO168 2000 AD 04 20260512 2026 01 AU NZ 01 11.125 in 01 282.58 mm 02 8.5 in 02 215.9 mm 08 1.259 lb 08 20.144 oz 08 571.07 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 8 02 52.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 52.99 0.00 20260125 02 62.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 62.99 0.00 20260125 2000 AD AU 01 20260512 9781837866618 02 02 1837866619 03 9781837866618 14 19781837866615 15 9781837866618 11 BC B106 Paperback - Trade paperback (UK) Nemesis the Warlock The Definitive Edition Nemesis the Warlock The Definitive Edition 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Nemesis the Warlock - The Definitive Edition, volume 5</TitleText> 01 242236944 1 A01 Pat Mills Mills, Pat Pat Mills 2 A07 Kevin O'Neill O'Neill , Kevin Kevin O'Neill 3 A07 Henry Flint Flint, Henry Henry Flint 4 A07 Clint Langley Langley, Clint Clint Langley 5 A07 Chris Weston Weston, Chris Chris Weston 01 eng 240 00 240 03 CGN004080 FX 2.1 10 CGN004030 10 CGN004070 10 CGN013000 10 CGN017000 12 FLS 20 Sci-fi;2000AD;2000 AD;occult;action;aliens;nemesis;warlock;torquemada;blitzspear;dystopia;khaos;Pat Mills;Marshal Law;Kevin O'Neill;League of Extraordinary Gentelmen;Metalzoic;adventure;Alan Moore;definitive;oversized;battle action;kids rule ok;garth ennis;bonjo from beyond the stars;dash decent;captain klep;comics code authority;banned;dangerous;tony luke;bryan talbot;luther arkwright 93 XAK 93 XQK 94 1Z 01 01 01 02 The conclusion to the Nemesis the Warlock series, one of the most striking science fiction characters to grace the pages of 2000 AD, the Definitive line collects the whole story in its entirety, presented in the ultimate format.

Long regarded as one of the crown-jewel epics from the pages of 2000 AD, at long last Nemesis the Warlock is back in print and better than ever in a brand-new series of definitive editions.

The final volume in the Definitive Nemesis the Warlock series sees the cosmic conflict between Nemesis and Torquemada conclude, as they are locked in a struggle with each other which has spanned time and space. Can Nemesis bring down the corrupt regime, and bring peace to the galaxy? And what happens to Purity Brown after the final battle? This volume collects all the stories through to Kevin O’Neill final work on the series in 2016.

Written by Pat Mills, this mind-bending volume of Definitive Nemesis features art by Henry Flint (Hawk the Slayer, Judge Dredd), Chris Weston (Paranoid Garden), and Kevin O’Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Metalzoic).]]> 13 02 Pat Mills Pat Mills is the creator and first editor of 2000 AD. He developed Judge Dredd and is the writer-creator of many of 2000 AD’s most popular stories such as Sláine, Nemesis and A.B.C. Warriors.

Amongst his credits are Marshal Law (Marvel and DC Comics), co-created with Kevin O’Neill, the French graphic novel series Requiem, Vampire Knight with artist Olivier Ledroit, and Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! The Secret History of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd. His current projects include Joe Pineapples: Tin Man, illustrated by Simon Bisley and Clint Langley, Spacewarp, and Kiss My Axe! The Secret History of Sláine the Warped Warrior.

Kevin O'Neill Kevin O’Neill was a 2000 AD legend. From working as an art assistant on the very first prog, he quickly became involved in the creative side of the comic, co-creating classics like A.B.C. Warriors, Bonjo From Beyond The Stars, Metalzoic and Nemesis the Warlock.

Outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, O’Neill was briefly notorious as the only artist ever to have his work rejected wholesale by the Comics Code Authority! Happily, his notoriety quickly became fame and acclaim, as his work on strips like Marshal Law and most recently The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen raised him to a very high profile.

Carl Critchlow Carl Critchlow is another 2000 AD artist whose popularity is rising, thanks primarily to his work on the co-created semi-comic sci-fi strip Lobster Random. He made his debut some years previously, however, working on Nemesis and Deadlock, then moving on to Batman/Judge Dredd, Flesh, Flesh 3000 AD, Future Shocks, Judge Dredd, Mean Machine and Tales of Telguuth.

Alan Moore is a legendary comics writer credited with transforming the medium and how it was seen through his seminal works such as V For Vendetta, From Hell and, of course, Watchmen.

But, before any of that, he cut his teeth at 2000 AD, the "galaxy's greatest comic". It was there that Moore honed his craft in preparation for the accolades that would follow.

This first volume in a new series collecting all of Alan Moore's work for 2000 AD, brings together all of his Future Shocks as well as a host of other one-off stories.

Moore is a master of the short-format story and this collection doubles as the perfect guide for how to write comics to a page limit.

Includes the story "A Holiday In Hell" which has never been reprinted in English since its first publication in 1980.

Moore's stories are complemented by the works of a string of legendary artists including Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Eric Bradbury (Rogue Trooper), Bryan Talbot (Grandville), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Brett Ewins (Bad Company) and more.]]> 13 02 Alan Moore

Outside of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Moore is best known for his work on the classic Watchmen, which redefined the superhero genre in 1986, but this is simply touching the surface of a career which has included 1963, A1’s Warpsmiths, Bojeffries Saga, Maxwell the Magic Cat, AARGH!, Batman, Big Numbers, Brought to Light, Captain Britain, Deathblow, Flesh and Bones, From Hell, Glory, Green Lantern Corps, Lost Girls, Miracleman, A Small Killing, Snakes and Ladders, Spawn, Supreme, Swamp Thing, Superman, V For Vendetta, WildC.A.T.S. and Youngblood.]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/a3f7cbb9-6671-42b7-b0fe-b2c100350386 01 2000 AD SIMO168 2000 AD 01 01 2000 AD SIMO168 2000 AD 04 20260512 2026 01 AU NZ 01 11.125 in 01 282.58 mm 02 8.5 in 02 215.9 mm 08 1.727 lb 08 27.632 oz 08 783.35 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 10 02 105.00 AUD AU Z 0.00 105.00 0.00 20260125 02 115.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 115.00 0.00 20260125 2000 AD AU 01 20260512 9781922468062 02 02 1922468061 03 9781922468062 14 19781922468069 15 9781922468062 11 PD Cards <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Friendship Oracle</TitleText> <Subtitle>Celebrating connections</Subtitle> 01 253482021 1 A01 Helena Elias Elias, Helena Helena Elias Instagram: @helena.illustrated 176k

That person is still very much alive, and needs expert care, attention and support during years of adjusting, relearning and rehabilitation. This happens to thousands of Australians and their families every year. It is usually hidden and rarely talked about, but it is common, costly and devastating. How do we and the person involved handle it?

Leading surgeon Dr. Chris O’Brien believed that the most aggressive and disabling cancers could be treated in ways that make it possible for people to live longer or at best be cured. His work led to the establishment of the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse in Camperdown NSW in 2013. The Lifehouse changed the way cancer care was delivered, all while Dr O’Brien was facing his own inevitably lethal brain cancer.

Author Roger Rees’ close connection with the Lifehouse began in 2018 when his dear friend Anne Marks was diagnosed with a rare type of salivary gland cancer. Dangerously Well is an elegant testament to Anne’s journey - and those of other patients - from good health to end of life through the remarkable palliative care given by doctors at the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.

In this book Roger offers valuable insights for patients, medical professionals and families. He explores delayed diagnosis, that which Anne experienced for years, and raises questions at the heart of what should be best medical practice. He also bears witness to medicine at its finest and talks of the remarkable friendships between doctors and patients.

When Brielle Johnson lied on her resume, she didn’t expect it to matter.
She believed any child would love her; that she was born to be a nanny.

So, she applied for a position in London working for a widowed woman,
or so she thought…

But Julian Masters is definitely all man…
The kind you dream of licking chocolate from.

He’s grumpy, arrogant and always used to being in control.

The last thing he needed was a young, inexperienced nanny turning his carefully constructed world upside down.

Brielle’s first day was bad.
The kids were the spawn of the devil, and she spied through a window and caught him doing something obscene…and equally fascinating.
The second day was worse; he caught her snooping in his bathroom cabinet in her skimpy pyjamas, and all hell broke loose.
On the third day, she ran over him in a golf cart.
And by day four, Brielle had decided that she wanted that chocolate…all of it. Melted…on her.

But intelligent, widowed judges don’t fall for their young, spirited nannies…]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/21e41a89-b82f-466e-a3f2-b16d0126de56 01 Arndell SIMN004 Arndell 01 01 Arndell SIMN004 Keeperton 04 20240918 01 AU NZ 01 7.75 in 01 196.85 mm 02 5 in 02 127 mm 03 1.3 in 03 33.02 mm 08 0.75 lb 08 12 oz 08 340.19 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20240918 20 02 23.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 23.99 0.00 20260125 02 24.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 24.99 0.00 20260125 Keeperton AU 01 20240918 9781923232013 03 02 1923232010 03 9781923232013 14 19781923232010 15 9781923232013 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Mr. Series <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Mr. Spencer</TitleText> 01 226220209 1 A01 T L Swan Swan, T L T L Swan 01 eng 512 00 512 03 FIC027020 FRD 2.1 10 FIC027340 10 FIC027250 20 Contemporary Romance; Billionaire romance; Royal romance; Age gap; Miles High Club; London; Tiktok; British; Booktok; millionaire; stand alone; Romcom; HEA; miles high series; the bonus; the takeover; the stopover; tristan miles; claire anderson; jameson miles; Emily Foster; Charlotte Prescott; Spencer Jones; Mr Masters; Mr Garcia; Mr. series; Colleen Hoover; ugly love; Ana Huang; twisted love; Lucy Score; Meghan Quinn; Beach Read; Lauren Asher; the fine print; Elsie Silver; Lauren Blakely; Emily Henry; Rebecca Yaros; CEO; amazon; nyt; new york times; international; America; Gabriel Ferrara; family saga; it ends with us; angst; spicy; Engagement; Country house; forbidden romance; USA; rich heroine; secret love; Travel; swoony; charming; charismatic MC; player; 93 FRD 93 FRR 01 01 01 02 From USA Today, BookTok, and #1 Amazon bestselling author T L Swan comes the new edition of the scorching second installment of her fan-favorite Mr. Series.

Spencer Jones was gorgeous, older, and had the worst reputation in all of England.
The way he looked at Charlotte sent shivers down her spine.

Their first meeting was at a wedding, where he followed her outside and kissed her.
Their second meeting ended in a huge fight with her kicking him out.
Their third meeting, she went on a double, blind date.

You can imagine her surprise when she saw familiar blue eyes across the table opposite her friend.

Oh…no…

He was sarcastic and witty and damn, If he wasn’t the sexiest bastard she had ever laid eyes on.

Then he sent her an email listing thirty reasons why she should go on a date with him.

She was expecting a suave and intelligent list. Curious, she read on.

Reason 1 – I have white teeth.
Reason 2 – I love my grandma.
Reason 3 – I have a size 13 shoe – you do the math.

The man’s a fool, his list had some of the most ridiculous things she’d ever read.
And the funniest.

They laughed hard…and loved harder.

You can outrun everything……except your past.

And his has caught up.

Wild handsome players don’t fall for innocent girls like her,
Or do they?]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/2b99fa24-2c9c-48f8-8b19-b16d0126e6d7 01 Arndell SIMN004 Arndell 01 01 Arndell SIMN004 Keeperton 04 20240918 01 AU NZ 01 7.75 in 01 196.85 mm 02 5 in 02 127 mm 03 1.4 in 03 35.56 mm 08 0.85 lb 08 13.6 oz 08 385.55 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20240918 20 02 23.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 23.99 0.00 20260125 02 24.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 24.99 0.00 20260125 Keeperton AU 01 20240918 9781923232020 03 02 1923232029 03 9781923232020 14 19781923232027 15 9781923232020 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Mr. Series <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Mr. Garcia</TitleText> 01 226221719 1 A01 T L Swan Swan, T L T L Swan 01 eng 544 00 544 03 FIC027020 FRD 2.1 10 FIC027340 10 FIC027250 20 Contemporary Romance; Billionaire romance; grumpy sunshine; Miles High Club; London; Tiktok; workplace romance; British; boss; Booktok; millionaire; second chance; stand alone; Romcom; HEA; Political romance; Prime Minister; Architect; miles high series; forced proximity; wedding; elope; the bonus; Sebastian Garcia; April Bennett; the takeover; the stopover; tristan miles; claire anderson; jameson miles; emily foster; Colleen Hoover; ugly love; Ana Huang; twisted love; Lucy Score; Meghan Quinn; Beach Read; Lauren Asher; the fine print; Elsie Silver; Lauren Blakely; Emily Henry; Rebecca Yaros; CEO; amazon; nyt; new york times; international; New Yorl Times best seller; America; Gabriel Ferrara; it ends with us; angst; spicy; Engagement; age gap; dislike to love; rich heroine; workplace bonus; secret love; Travel 93 FRD 93 FRR 01 01 01 02 From Wall Street Journal, BookTok, and #1 Amazon bestselling author T L Swan comes the new edition of the fiery third installment of her fan-favorite Mr. Series.

Sebastian Garcia was gorgeous, older and guarded.
April knew he was trouble from the moment they locked eyes.

They met at work, on her first day as a barista.
He smiled, she melted …. then he tasted her coffee and threw it away.

Again, the next day, and the next.
He hated the coffee, yet still came back.
She knew his game.

He called her coffee death in a cup.
She called him God's gift to women.
She wasn’t lying.

Then they ran into each other outside of the coffee house,
and that’s when things got interesting.

No longer suave and sweet with impeccable manners.
Mr Garcia had a darker side, his appetite thick and heavy.
He set her on fire.

Unable to help it, they fell hopelessly in love.
The highest of highs.

But his demons are dark, as are hers.

They don’t know if they can make it. She has two choices.
Walk away now to save herself.
Or try to hold on and let love be the light.

She chooses option two.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/248abdd6-e84d-4d60-9dd1-b16d0126ef4d 01 Arndell SIMN004 Arndell 01 01 Arndell SIMN004 Keeperton 04 20240918 01 AU NZ 01 7.75 in 01 196.85 mm 02 5 in 02 127 mm 03 1.6 in 03 40.64 mm 08 0.9 lb 08 14.4 oz 08 408.23 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20240918 20 02 23.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 23.99 0.00 20260125 02 24.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 24.99 0.00 20260125 Keeperton AU 01 20240918 9781923232044 02 02 1923232045 03 9781923232044 14 19781923232041 15 9781923232044 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Kings of the Riviera <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Heart You Kept</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Heart You Kept</TitleWithoutPrefix> 01 232081134 1 A01 T L Swan Swan, T L T L Swan 01 eng 512 00 512 03 FIC027020 FRD 2.1 10 FIC027340 10 FIC027540 20 Contemporary Romance; Billionaire; Kings of the Riviera series; grumpy sunshine; luxury lifestyle; Miles High Club; Monaco; Tiktok; dark romance; opposites attract; secret identity; family saga; casino; double life; touch her you die; protective hero; secret relationship; ONS; royalty; mafia; new old flame; nightclub; CEO; Booktok; second chance romance; interconnected stand alone; different worlds; Romcom; HEA; the mr. series; ana huang; kings of sin series; the takeover; the stopover; tristan miles; claire anderson; Kate Stewart; jameson miles; emily foster; Colleen Hoover; ugly love; Ana Huang; twisted love; Lucy Score; LJ Shen; Meghan Quinn; Lauren Asher; Becka Mack; the fine print; Elsie Silver; Emily Henry; Rebecca Yaros; table; amazon; nyt; new york times; international; angst; spicy; forbidden romance; USA; age gap; Travel; 93 FRD 93 FRR 01 01 01 02 From USA Today, BookTok, and #1 Amazon bestselling author T L Swan comes Edward Prescott's story, the highly anticipated first instalment of her brand-new series 'Kings of the Riviera' - in bookstores May 2026.

He was never meant to be anything more than a memory.
But now he’s back… and more magnetic than ever.

Three years after a secret weekend in the Swiss Alps, Alora Sorenson thought she’d completely moved on from the mysterious man who turned her world upside down. That is until Edward Prescott walks back into her life: richer, more powerful, and even harder to resist.

As the billionaire owner of the world’s largest casino empire, Edward is the definition of untouchable. He’s a dark, commanding force in a world of high society, luxury yachts, and ruthless enemies.

Alora prefers a serene and simple life, surrounded by antiques and vintage fashion.
She doesn’t belong in his world, and yet… she’s never stopped wanting him.
But behind his intoxicating charm lie hidden dangers, and in the shadows of the Riviera, will the past reemerge and destroy everything?

Secrets brought them together.

Cassidy Ryan is a strong, devoted single mother determined to give her son the fresh start they need. When the job as an end-of-life doula for an elderly billionaire presents itself, she seizes it. This is her chance to get them back on their feet and everything seems to be going to plan until she comes face-to-face with his overprotective grandson.

Adam Harlow, is cold, ruthless, and has no patience for the woman hired to support his beloved grandfather. And when she turns out to be the gorgeous blonde he’d spent an incredible night with only weeks prior, it only fuels his fire.

Their connection is electric, but Cassidy isn’t prepared to risk her job for the notorious womanizer, even though he gave her a night of passion and freedom she’ll never forget. But, the closer they get, the deeper their souls entwine, until they’re forced to face their fears.

As grief, secrets, and undeniable passion pull them closer, Cassidy must choose: protect her future or risk it all for the one man she was never meant to love.]]> 13 02

Ember Reed is finally living her dream: chief stew on a Mediterranean superyacht, sun-kissed days at sea, and the star of Close Quarters, the hottest new reality TV show. But just as she finds her stride, the producers throw her a curveball—by hiring the one man who nearly sank her.

Finn Pearson was the one that got away. The boy who kissed her like they had forever, then left without a word. But now he’s the chef in her new crew, and the cameras are watching their every move, innocent, or not.

Even on a superyacht, there's nowhere to hide from the past. Every stolen glance, every whispered argument, every lingering memory threatens to ignite what never fully burned out. And as the tension spills into their day jobs, even the dinner service is spiralling into disaster.

They’ve crashed before… but could eight weeks at sea be their second chance to get it right? Or will it be the storm that finally sinks them for good?]]> 13 02

Training in history stimulated a life of enquiry, culminating in a social history of Adelaide's monuments which was published in 1997. He discovered Australia's Great War history at Anzac Cove in the 1980s where the lonely, bone strewn gullies inspired pilgrimages to other battlefields. Trying to understand why our young nation was stepping onto the stage of ancient battles-capes was a journey enlivened by the stories of endurance, loss and despair in the literature and archives of that generation.
There is no wisdom in war, but understanding what war means is the only wise thing to do, and telling the soldiers' stories is the only way to do it.

— Phillip Schuler, War Correspondent, 1915

Four days. One ridge. A battle that forged a nation. One of the most ferocious and defining battles of the Gallipoli campaign was fought on a patch of ground no larger than a football field. Over four bloody days in August 1915, Australian and Turkish soldiers clashed in the trenches of Lone Pine — a brutal, hand-to-hand struggle that would claim thousands of lives and forge a legend of courage and endurance that endures to this day.

In The Bloody Ridge, historian Simon Cameron brings this extraordinary moment in ANZAC history vividly to life. Drawing on meticulous research, rare photographs, trench maps, and firsthand accounts, Cameron captures the chaos, horror, and humanity of a battle that saw seven Victoria Crosses awarded and countless untold acts of bravery.

Through the words of those who were there — like Lance Corporal Cyril Lawrence’s haunting reflections on the dead and dying — this book offers both a soldier’s-eye view and a historian’s precision. It is a gripping, unflinching account of sacrifice and mateship under unimaginable fire.

The Bloody Ridge stands as both a deeply human story and a definitive history of the Battle of Lone Pine — a place where ordinary men achieved extraordinary things.

‘Informative, intriguing and a rewarding read.’ — Greg Elliott, InDaily

‘A struggle that has made such a mark on the Australian psyche… fantastic bravery.’ — Christopher Dawson, Sydney Daily Telegraph

When Daniel’s father disappears, the world tilts. His mother retreats into silence, concealing a past Daniel barely understands. Years later, searching for meaning, he’s drawn to a man who calls himself Excalibur – a mentor, a saviour, a trap.

On a remote Tasmanian estate, Daniel joins a brotherhood devoted to purity and power. At its centre stands Rudolf Hoffman – charismatic, visionary, and the inheritor of an ideology that once condemned Daniel’s own blood.

As Daniel’s devotion deepens, the past begins to breathe again. Ideologies awaken. Love twists into control. And the question that has shadowed him all his life – what kind of father shapes what kind of son? – demands a final, devastating answer.

‘Dark, elegant, and disturbingly plausible.’

‘A mesmerising exploration of faith, control, and the echoes of history.’

‘A story of seduction, ideology, and the ghosts history refuses to bury.’

‘Sometimes the hardest roads lead us home’.

When test race car driver Andrew Edwards agrees to deliver a rusting Land Rover from England to West Africa for his cousin, a renowned wildlife artist studying bird migration, he imagines a challenging but manageable adventure. What unfolds is anything but.

With two mechanically minded companions and little more than optimism, humour, and an old Series III Land Rover named Lucy, the trio set off from Cambridge on a journey that will test the limits of endurance, friendship, and faith. From the snowy passes of Spain to the vast expanse of the Sahara, they confront mechanical breakdowns, bureaucratic chaos, and dangers that no map could predict.

As Lucy rattles across borders and into the unknown, she becomes more than a vehicle – she becomes a lifeline, a symbol of resilience and grit. Along the way, encounters with militants, Bedouin warriors, and families living on the margins of survival strip away assumptions and expose the raw, humbling beauty of the human spirit.

But when illness strikes and Andrew finds himself fighting for survival in an African hospital, the journey takes on new meaning. It becomes not just a test of will, but a reckoning with vulnerability, purpose, and the fragile miracle of life itself. 
Told with warmth, wit, and unflinching honesty, A Land Rover Named Lucy is a true story of adventure and endurance, a reminder that sometimes the hardest roads lead us home.

‘What a great read! An intrepid tale of adventure and exploration across Africa with blood, sweat and tears .... A must-have for any adventurer’s bookshelf, this book will inspire you to push comfort zones, cross horizon lines and break free from the ordinary and mundane … do try it!’ – Josh James, Bushman, content creator and adventurer.

‘This book reminded me of why people chase adventure in the first place. It's not about the destination, but it’s about the moments that test you and the memories that stay with you long after all that bull dust has settled.’ – Lee Carseldine, TV Presenter ‘The Great Outdoors’ and ‘Weekender’

‘An exceptional, thrilling ride.’ - Katrina Hunter, Author of 22 TRICKS

‘Lucy taught us that endurance isn’t about strength – it’s about stubborn hope.’

‘When you share a journey like that, laughter becomes the best kind of fuel.’

Female Guards of Nazi Brutality uncovers one of the darkest and least examined aspects of the Holocaust—the women who became instruments of Nazi terror. These Aufseherinnen, female guards stationed across the concentration camp system, wielded extraordinary cruelty within a regime of industrialised murder.

Through meticulous research and chilling trial records, this book traces the lives of ten women whose names have been largely erased from history, revealing how ordinary individuals became agents of unimaginable violence. Their post-war trials expose the moral and psychological landscape of complicity, power, and justice in the aftermath of atrocity.

Combining forensic historical detail with compelling narrative, Female Guards of Nazi Brutality illuminates the uneasy intersection of gender and evil. It invites readers to confront uncomfortable truths about obedience, ideology, and the capacity for cruelty—offering both a vital addition to Holocaust and military history, and a haunting meditation on accountability that remains painfully relevant today.

‘A searing reminder that atrocity is not confined to men, nor to the past.’

‘A chilling exploration of the women who stood guard over humanity’s darkest hour.’

February 1942. The troopship HMT Orcades lies in port at Java, heavy with Australian soldiers whose fate hangs in the balance. Among them are brothers Cal and Alan, unaware that their journey will take them into the darkest reaches of human endurance. At home in Melbourne, their families wait in silence – letters stop coming, time itself seems to stand still.

From the doomed defence of Java to captivity in Batavia and the horror of the Burma–Thai Railway, I’ll Walk Beside You follows the extraordinary true story of ordinary men drawn into the heart of war. Based on letters, diaries and official records, Peter Mitchell’s meticulous narrative reveals the courage, humour and unbreakable mateship that kept the 2/2 Pioneer Battalion alive through disease, starvation and brutality.

Through Cal’s ordeal under sadistic guards, through the quiet heroism of comrades who shared their last scraps of food or played music on handmade instruments in the jungle night, and through the enduring love between Cal and his wife Jean, this is a story of survival – and of the human spirit that refused to be extinguished.

As victory finally comes in 1945 and the survivors return home, the long-awaited reunion brings both joy and unease. Who have they become? What has been lost—and what endures?

Moving, authentic and deeply human, I’ll Walk Beside You is a powerful sequel to Under the Same Moon, celebrating resilience, humour and the extraordinary within the ordinary.

‘Mitchell brings history alive with heart, authenticity and quiet power.’

‘A moving testament to endurance and humour in the darkest of times.’

After stabilizing the disastrous Phoenix Project launch, Bill Palmer and his IT team face an even greater challenge: proving that technology isn't just a cost center but the key to the company's survival. With market share plummeting and competitors pulling ahead, Bill must navigate treacherous corporate politics while racing to master “The Three Ways”—revolutionary principles that could change everything.

When the board threatens to split the company, Bill's team embarks on an audacious experiment called “Project Unicorn.” Their mission: deliver ten deployments a day instead of one per quarter. It's a goal so ambitious that even Erik, Bill's enigmatic mentor, admits it sounds impossible. But as they break down silos between Development and Operations, something remarkable happens—they begin achieving what the business truly needs rather than what it thinks it wants.

Alongside Patty, Wes, and the brilliant but overworked Brent, Bill must confront an ambitious marketing executive willing to bypass IT entirely while convincing the CFO that technology is the solution, not the problem. The stakes? Not just Bill's career, but the future of Parts Unlimited itself.

This visually stunning adaptation brings to life the final chapter in the beloved business novel, illustrating how the principles of DevOps can transform not just IT departments but entire organizations. Through dramatic artwork and compelling storytelling, readers will discover how flow, feedback, and continuous learning can break constraints and unleash unprecedented business value.

In a world where technology defines market winners and losers, The Phoenix Project reveals the new path forward.]]> 13 02 Gene Kim is a multi–award-winning CTO, researcher, and author.

At forty-one, Melanie Glick has made peace with being perpetually single. She’d rather be alone than be someone’s consolation prize. So, she spends her nights tending bar at The Ugly Mug and fills her days writing music, hoping she’ll someday find the courage to perform it. Nothing in her life has ever been quite the same since she lost her best friend, Cara, in a tragic accident decades ago, but the music keeps her going. When Cara’s brother comes flying into town like a blast from the past, he stirs up old memories, new feelings, and a chance at something she never thought she’d have again.

Country music singer Josh Cote hasn’t set foot in Cape May since he was sixteen. After he lost his sister, the charming small town has been a constant reminder of all he’s lost. But with the 25th anniversary of Cara’s death approaching, Josh decides to pass through on a road trip designed to inspire his first solo album. His first stop? The Ugly Mug, where he comes face-to-face with Melanie, his teenage muse. When he spots the tattoo on her wrist in Cara’s handwriting, Josh has the overwhelming desire to get to know Melanie, all over again.

When Melanie offers Josh a place to stay, it feels impulsive—but their connection is instant, rooted in shared grief and a first love that never died. Neither expects the pull between them to grow stronger each day, as their temporary arrangement deepens into something they can’t ignore. But with Josh’s looming departure and a long-buried secret casting a shadow over their budding romance, Melanie and Josh must confront the ghosts of their past if they have a chance at a future. Can new love truly heal old wounds, or are some scars too deep to mend?]]> 13 02 spent her days of adolescence up in her room writing her

Carter Edwards has always been a go-with-the-flow type of guy. Except when it comes to Penelope Mason: his childhood neighbor, and the only girl he's ever fallen in love with. When he finally gathers the courage to make his life-long love for Penelope known, he finds that she's already chosen a future for herself- one without him in it.

Penelope Mason is a planner by nature. She'd do just about anything to secure the future she imagined for herself, including leaving behind the boy she never planned on falling for. But at twenty-three, that future blows up in her face when she's expelled by her prestigious university and forced to move back in with her parents.

Things only seem to get worse for Penelope when Carter re-enters her life unexpectedly. She forces herself to keep him at arms-length in attempt to stop him from learning the truth of her past five years. Yet, Penelope can't ignore the realization that the one person who always made her feel most herself has walked back into her life at the time she needs him most.

Carter won't give up so easily on his second chance with the girl of his dreams. But is Penelope's past, and her looming secrets, too hard to overcome?

In this heartwarming second-chance romance, two childhood friends find themselves pondering fate, coincidence, and maybe even... the existence of soulmates?]]> 13 02

Following the long overdue break-up from her insufferable ex-boyfriend, Macie Cunningham was ready for a fresh start.

She thought she’d find that new beginning when she impulsively moved to Los Angeles with her best friend, but after six months here, all she’s discovered is that her life is strenuously the same. The same career—one she’s not so sure she still loves. The same hobbies— or lack thereof. And romance? Painfully non-existent. That’s actually the only new experience she’s had since she decided to start over. She’s tried dating, but can’t seem to find that spark she’s looking for. Save for one exception.

Dominic Evans.

Her roommate’s best friend and the biggest pain in her ass. Macie and Dom’s constant head-butting is more infuriating than desirable, but somehow it always feels like foreplay? With her mind on the cusp of pure lust and pure vexation every time she’s around him, Macie decides it’s best to just stay away from Dom entirely.

Until Macie’s roommates head out of town for the holidays, and she finds herself alone in her apartment with hazardous Christmas trees, head injuries, and a barren kitchen. Annoyingly, Dom can’t seem to stop coming to Macie’s rescue, and she isn’t quite sure why, or how long she can continue holding back her desires.

As their attraction becomes explosive, Macie realizes there may be more to Dominic Evans than that arrogant cunning, that smart-ass mouth, and that obnoxiously charming smile.

Not that it matters, anyway. Once the holidays pass and their friends return home, Macie and Dom’s intense chemistry will fizzle out. They’ll go back to the same old frenemies they always were… right?]]> 13 02

A missing husband.

A deadly storm.

A stranger he shouldn’t trust.

Miguel Ramirez was living his happily ever after with husbands Quentin and Elliott when tragedy struck. He’s left reeling after waking up in a hospital bed to find both his husbands gone—but only one is missing.

After months of desperate searching, Miguel gets a tip about Elliott’s whereabouts—one that leads him straight into the heart of Alaska’s most brutal snowstorm on record.

Severely injured and with no means of escape, Miguel finds himself held captive in a crumbling mansion by a man he both recognizes and fears. Stumbling upon leverage that could gain him his freedom, he strikes a tenuous bargain with his captor—a bargain that slowly reveals the truth about Elliott’s heartbreaking past.

As buried secrets rise to the surface, missing puzzle pieces begin shifting into place, and Miguel comes to realize he never truly knew his husband at all.

The deeper he digs, the more entangled he becomes in a web of intrigue and longing for a man he thought was his enemy—someone who ends up being something else entirely.

As the polar night draws to an end, both captor and prisoner are aware that their time is running out. Miguel is conflicted, no longer wanting to choose between his past and his present—but he can’t have both. All that’s left to do now is surrender to the inevitable.

Saving Sparrow is book two in the Slow Burns & Tragic Beginnings series, but can be read as a standalone. You can expect an MMM romance, told in past/present timelines, that ends in an HEA. Saving Sparrow does contain unhealthy relationship dynamics.

They call it an accident. I know it’s a lie. And the only way to uncover the truth is to enter Romi’s world: Stonehaven Academy, the training ground of the elite guardians.

Here, survival is a test I was never meant to pass. Pureblood gargoyles want me broken. The Council wants me silent. And then there’s Serath—the dangerously magnetic sigma leader of Romi’s unit, the one man I should never want.

If I want answers, I’ll need to get close to the sigma. I’ll need to play with fire and be prepared to get burned.

But there’s a reason Serath is off limits.

A reason that could mean the difference between life and death.

Because the Stone Council is hiding something far darker than Romi’s death.

And if their secret gets out, it won’t just shatter Stonehaven.

It will tear our world apart.]]> 13 02 USA Today Bestselling Author of Paranormal and Fantasy Novels. She writes under the pen name Debbie Cassidy.

“Heartfelt and real.” — Christine Taylor & Ben Stiller

“One afternoon, quickly and peacefully, Big Dog died. It was the worst day ever.” If you’ve ever loved a pet, Where’s Big Dog? was written for you.

When we lose our pets–and it always happens too soon–it’s devastating. Where’s Big Dog? takes us on a journey to “find” them again: in the clouds in the sky, in the trunk of a tree, in the swirl of a marble countertop. Thoughtfully illustrated and sensitively told, this story is a reminder that, even after goodbye, your best friend will always be by your side.

“... not only moving, it's comforting and restorative as well. You don’t have to be a dog-lover to love Where’s Big Dog? You just have to be human.” — Peter Parnell, award-winning author, And Tango Makes Three]]> 13 02 Lisa Melamed has written and produced television shows for network, cable, and streaming, including Nickelodeon’s Hey Dude, Golden Globe winner Party of Five, and Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings.

Shinta Arakawa wants nothing more than to pass his shin’uchi exam—the test that would make him a top-rank headliner and master storyteller in the traditional Japanese art of rakugo. Akane Osaki, his daughter and biggest fan, spies on him while he practices and learns his routines for herself. When rakugo master Issho Arakawa expels everyone after the exam with no explanation, a fire is lit inside Akane.

Akane successfully performs the opening act for Master Shiguma’s solo show, but whispers of the story known as “Shiguma's Art” leave her yearning to learn more. But suddenly, things take a turn for the worse when Master Shiguma collapses and the Shiguma School is forcefully disbanded by the Arakawa School. And to Akane’s horror, her new master is none other than the man who crushed her father’s dreams—Issho Arakawa.

From the day his parents named him, Nasa Yuzaki has felt connected to outer space…whether he likes it or not.

Since she insists on marrying him, Nasa will have plenty of chances to find out!

Romance is in the air among Nasa’s students, but the course of school love never did run smooth.

Highlights of Akira’s carefully orchestrated strategy to court Hajime include covering his eyes with her hands, tricking him into saying her name, and making his heart race.

All that changes when, aboard a slave ship, he experiences the kindness and tender touch of a loving person for the first time. But fate has plans for Julian in the bloody awakening of an ancient god who strikes a cruel bargain: an innocent life in exchange for extraordinary powers—abilities he must use to protect a helpless baby in a cruel and violent world!

Caught as a stowaway aboard a slave ship, Julian narrowly escapes death by the kindness of fellow slaves who take pity on him, especially a pregnant slave by the name of Mira. But when the slaver decides to liquidate his holdings, the bloodbath calls forth an ancient god from the sea. A deal is made at the cost of a life and Julian is forever changed, gaining fantastic powers.

Rebecca Roanhorse’s first publication, “Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience™”, was awarded both the Nebula and Hugo award for best short story, and on its strength, Roanhorse was awarded the Astounding Award for Best New Writer. Although Roanhorse began to publish novels including Trail of Lightning and Black Sun, she has continued to write piercing stories that examine the American experience through marginalized perspectives.

“River of Bones” returns to the Sixth World series with a novella, this time from Kai’s perspective, as he and Maggie travel back to where he grew up to save his ex from the people who almost beat him to death—his ex’s family.

Based on the Tewa fable of Deer Hunter and White Corn Maiden, “A Brief Lesson in Native American Astronomy”—winner of the 2019 Ignyte award—explores the tradition of celestial-based storytelling, set in a future where virtual reality is nearly indistinguishable from the real world and celebrities can project their images into space as literal stars.

“Falling Bodies” follows a young student at a space station university caught between two disparate worlds—the one he currently inhabits and the one he has desperately tried to escape—as he searches for his place in the universe.

First published in Jordan Peele’s Out There Screaming, “Eye and Tooth” is a story of black horror about the hunters who hunt the monsters and the monstrous among us.

Graff

A major revisionist history of the Lewis and Clark expedition: For the first time in a generation, This Vast Enterprise offers a fresh and more accurate account of one of the most important episodes in American history, humanizing forgotten figures and shattering long-held myths.

Celebrated young historian Craig Fehrman, whose first book, Author in Chief, was hailed by Thomas Mallon in The Wall Street Journal as “one of the best books on the American presidency to appear in recent years,” delivers a major new account of the Lewis and Clark expedition.

When Meriwether Lewis and William Clark returned from their long journey, in 1806, they brought an incredible tale starring themselves as courageous explorers, skilled scientists, and peaceful ambassadors. There was truth in those descriptions. But there was also distortion.

For the first time in a generation, This Vast Enterprise offers a fresh and more accurate account of their expedition—a gripping narrative that draws on new documents, stunning analysis, and Native perspectives. Fehrman’s central insight is that the success of Lewis and Clark depended on much more than just Lewis and Clark. We all know Sacajawea, and some of us know York, the Black man Clark enslaved. But This Vast Enterprise introduces us to John Ordway, a working-class soldier who fought grizzlies and towed the captains’ bulky barge. It introduces us to Wolf Calf, a Blackfoot teenager who watched his friend die in a battle with Lewis and his men.

To capture this cast of characters, each chapter in This Vast Enterprise moves to a new point of view, describing that person’s desires and contradictions with an unprecedented level of care. Fehrman balances the story’s inherent adventure with the humanity of its protagonists. One chapter shows Thomas Jefferson operating in an age of bitter partisan unrest—his secret maneuvers to fund the expedition, uncovered here for the first time, are a case study in presidential power. Another chapter reveals the strategy and strength of Black Buffalo, a Lakota leader, completely upending our understanding of early Lakota American diplomacy. Clark, in his chapters, is not a folksy Kentuckyian but a student of the Enlightenment. (Fehrman found Clark’s college notebook.) Lewis is someone whose psychological demons feel at once heartbreaking and modern.

And yet, in the end, the captains are men who needed help—from Sacajawea, from York, and from each other. Their expedition truly was a vast enterprise, a sprawling and federally funded military mission that came down to the heroic sacrifices of a few human beings. This book portrays those people, all of them, for the first time. It is more than just a work of history—it’s a testament to the power of innovative research and emotional storytelling, and a thrilling reminder that even the most familiar moments in history can still surprise us.]]> 13 02 This Vast Enterprise.

“One of the best books on the American presidency to appear in recent years. . . . Delightfully instructive.”
—Thomas Mallon, The Wall Street Journal

“Joyfully engrossing . . . Juicy controversies and conversation-starters are the consistently found treats of Author in Chief, regardless of where you find yourself on the political spectrum. And the implication throughout—that books are vitally important to the nation’s soul—will surely appeal to red and blue state readers alike.”
—Steve Donoghue, Christian Science Monitor

“A breezy, anecdote-rich account of the memoirs and autobiographies that have helped candidates running for office . . . Most presidents’ books have aimed to entertain, and that might also be said of Author in Chief. But Fehrman has done his homework. His bibliographical essays are impressively thorough, particularly on works on the study of writing, publishing and reading. His readers will learn a lot.”
—The Washington Post

“Credit to Craig Fehrman for the compendiousness, readability, and general exuberance of his Author in Chief.”
—James Parker, The Atlantic

“Author in Chief is an absolutely absorbing read. . . . It’s a years-long undertaking packed with an incredible depth of research and thoughtful analysis, all of it devoted to exploring the literary output of our presidents. Fehrman walks us through the entirety of American history . . . The combination of exceptionally detailed research and well-crafted prose results in a truly engaging work of nonfiction. It’s a fascinating look at American history that isn’t quite like anything you’ve read before, a chance to view the men who have led this country through a different and very specific lens.”
—Allen Adams, The Maine Edge

“Entertaining and illuminating . . . Fehrman’s deep research delivers a wealth of intriguing tidbits (Jimmy Carter leased a $12,000 word processor to compose Keeping the Faith; the Committee to Boycott Nixon’s Memoirs sold T-shirts and bumper stickers with the slogan “Don’t Buy Books by Crooks”), which are complemented by a generous selection of illustrations. Bibliophiles and presidential history buffs alike will relish this gratifying deep dive into an underappreciated genre.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“From the very beginnings of America’s experiment in republican government, its chief executives, both actual and aspiring, have put pen to paper (nowadays fingers to keyboard) in attempts to justify themselves and inspire others. Here, Fehrman records such literary efforts back to Jefferson and Adams. . . . Both history buffs and politics enthusiasts will relish this.”
—Booklist (starred review)

“A lively account of the literary achievements (and failures) of America’s presidents. . . . The author covers a great deal of ground that even major biographers have skipped over in favor of ‘sexier’ storylines, yet to the book lover, these stories will be unquestionably enticing. Even the footnotes, appendix, and sources offer bookish gems. Fehrman’s illuminating blend of presidential and publishing history with literary criticism will appeal to amateur historians and bibliophiles alike.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Conversational, engaging, and compelling, backed by extensive research and appendices . . . Bookworms, lovers of history, and political junkies will find a lot to like here.”
—Indianapolis Monthly

“[An] eye-opener of a read . . . For both the scholar and the casually curious, there is a lot to learn about our presidents. . . . There are the predictable standouts—Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt, and Kennedy—and some outstanding surprises, such as Coolidge, Truman, and Reagan.” 
—BookPage

“Original, illuminating, and entertaining—as good history can be—Craig Fehrman’s Author in Chief is a book that should have been written, and should surely be read. By looking at presidents through the prism of their published writings, Fehrman throws new light on what John F. Kennedy—himself an author-president—called  ‘the vital center of action.’ ”
—Jon Meacham, author of The Soul of America

“Craig Fehrman takes us from Thomas Jefferson—a president who happened also to be the best prose stylist around—to the age of the obligatory campaign biography, on to the modern blockbuster. Along the way we meet revisionists, ghost writers (Truman went through four), runaway bestsellers (it seems there was a sport at which Calvin Coolidge excelled), surprising flops.  We learn that the Civil War turned the occasional authorial impulse into a flood of literature; that Nathaniel Hawthorne quietly wrote a campaign biography; that the most literate presidents can meet with the worst reviews. Shapely, original, and brimming in anecdote, Author in Chief expertly illuminates, amid much else, how history finds its way into the books.”
—Stacy Schiff, author of The Witches

“This book is just as fun and fascinating when taking you inside the minds of presidents as into ordinary eighteenth-century bookworms. It’s witty, charming, fantastically learned, and engrossing. I loved it.”
—Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland

“CAUTION: This book contains material highly addictive to history lovers. From its account of Thomas Jefferson’s monumental efforts to bring out his Notes on the State of Virginia, to the description of John Kennedy’s fraudulent claims about writing Profiles in Courage, Craig Fehrman’s Author in Chief achieves what every original thesis should. The accumulated myths that we call our history are shattered by the recovery of the true facts. I’m annoyed right now that I didn’t write this disciplined, enormously engaging narrative myself.”
—Rinker Buck, author of The Oregon Trail

“Author In Chief takes the reader into the hearts and minds of America’s presidents as they seek to define their legacies through literature. From Lincoln and Kennedy to Bush and Obama, Fehrman brings these men to life and allows us to see their struggles and revel in their successes. It offers an entirely new perspective into what it feels like to be president and how critical self-expression is to the study of American history.”
—Kate Andersen Brower, author of The Residence, First Women, and First in Line

“This engrossing and delightful work offers a fresh lens on famous presidents and a new understanding of obscure ones. Fehrman explains how the uneven written work of presidents—original and ghostwritten—reveals the curious intersection of power and publishing.”
—Jonathan Alter, author of The Promise  ]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/83f0b2cd-62c2-437a-a1b3-b2e70043bb72 01 Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster SIMO666 Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster 01 01 Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster SIMO666 Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 9.25 in 01 234.95 mm 02 6.125 in 02 155.57 mm 03 1.145 in 03 29.083 mm 08 1.353 lb 08 21.648 oz 08 613.71 gr 06 15 9781982174255 27 15 9781982174262 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 20 02 69.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 69.99 0.00 20260125 02 79.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 79.99 0.00 20260125 Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster AU 01 20260512 9781998672226 02 02 1998672220 03 9781998672226 14 19781998672223 15 9781998672226 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Moon Dark</TitleText> 01 244298811 1 A01 E.A.

Ian survives the forced experiments and grows up but his disfigurement and legacy from his father marks him as an unnatural demon among men.

It’s at the Marquis’ estate that Ian meets Gisele, a seamstress employed by an opera company, who shows him what unconditional love is. She is able to see past his deformity to the unbroken soul inside. When Ian learns Victor is using his father to hunt him, Gisele’s life is in danger. Victor will use Gisele as a bargaining piece and Ian is the only one who can protect her. He has lived as both man and monster and now is confronted with his prodigious creator.

Greetings from Suffocate City, The Funeral Portrait’s first full-length for Better Noise Music, expands the group’s mythology to new heights and dimensions with invigorating, authentic, and passionate anthems. Songs like “Alien,” “Voodoo Doll,” “You’re So Ugly When You Cry” (featuring The Used’s Bert McCracken), and the title track (featuring Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills) fuse the vibrant accessibility of Active Rock with the earnest honesty once screamed at the Warped Tour of the 2000s. Steadily growing since the band’s formation in 2014, The Coffin Crew is a worldwide assemblage of devotees united in the shared catharsis of The Funeral Portrait’s music. It’s a tight-knit fandom built in the spirit of AFI’s Despair Faction, the MCRmy, the BVB Army, and Ice Nine Kills’ Psychos. It’s a diverse and welcoming community bound by perseverance through adversity and heartbreak. Heralded as “the inspiring antidote to stagnant metalcore” by Alternative Press early into their career, the band eventually made their way onto SiriusXM Octane and episodes of All Elite Wrestling.The Funeral Portrait is comprised of frontman and founder Lee Jennings, guitarists Cody Weissinger and Caleb Freihaut, bassist Robert Weston, and drummer Homer Umbanhower. Some grew up loving Avenged Sevenfold and Papa Roach; others adored My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy. The Funeral Portrait excels in the live environment, with visceral and heartfelt sets, as a headliner and while supporting genre titans like Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, and Skillet. They’ve been invited to perform at major festivals like Aftershock, Louder Than Life, So What?! and Inkcarceration. “There are as many people in the hard rock radio audience that are lonely, sad, and going through difficulties as in the more underground-leaning fandoms,” Jennings insists.“Our band is about standing up for weirdos and misfits. Because we are weirdos, too.”

Celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s Declaration of Independence with this unique look at objects that celebrate America’s ingenuity, inventiveness, and imagination.

From the writing of the Declaration of Independence to the invention of the hula hoop, Americans have been innovating for 250 years. Our ingenuity and can-do nature has led to everything from the creation of frozen food to the mass-produced automobile, the lunar module, and beyond. In honor of the United States’ 250th anniversary, American Imagination celebrates the United States by looking at the story of our country not by historical events, but by the things we invented that made life easier, more enjoyable, and more efficient, and that changed the world.

Each year of our nation’s history, from 1776 to 2026, is highlighted by a single object invented during that year. Fascinating text gives insight as to why the object was created, and how; and timelines show how genres such as sports and technology developed over the years. From toys and games to machines that put us into space; from contributions that heavily influenced the zeitgeist to innovations in leisure and lifestyle and technological feats once thought impossible, this lavishly illustrated collection has something for everyone. It is the ultimate celebration of the American spirit.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/8e321913-ac2a-435d-9dee-b39d0035b5aa 01 Weldon Owen SIMO179 Weldon Owen 01 01 Weldon Owen SIMO179 Weldon Owen 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 11 in 01 279.4 mm 02 9 in 02 228.6 mm 08 1.88 lb 08 30.08 oz 08 852.75 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 02 100.00 AUD AU Z 0.00 100.00 0.00 20260125 02 110.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 110.00 0.00 20260125 Weldon Owen AU 01 20260512 9798886742688 02 03 9798886742688 14 19798886742685 15 9798886742688 11 ZA General Merchandise <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Williams Sonoma Grilling Recipe Deck</TitleText> <Subtitle>50 Recipe Cards at Your Fingertips</Subtitle> 01 236383714 1 A01 Williams Sonoma Sonoma, Williams Williams Sonoma 01 eng 51 00 51 03 CKB005000 10 CKB060000 10 CKB054000 20 recipe deck; Williams Sonoma Grilling Recipe Deck; Williams Sonoma grilling; grilling deck; grilled food; recipe card deck; grilling card deck; card deck; barbecue recipes; grilled recipes; ribs; burgers; chicken; barbecue sides; grilling sides; easy grilling recipes; easy grilling; simple grilling; simple grilling recipes; gifts for dads; gifts for home cooks; cooking for entertaining 01 01 01 02 A convenient deck of 50 recipe cards for flavorful, perfectly grilled dishes, with classic grilling staples and exciting new recipes to prepare and enjoy.

Completed in July 1962, just a month before her passing, the interview conducted by Richard Meryman was Marilyn at her most open and honest, and the photos by Allan Grant were the only ones ever taken in her home. Now, for the first time, you can read Marilyn in her own words and see her as the world has never seen her before.

In July 1962, Marilyn Monroe was at a crossroads. At thirty-six years old and embroiled in legal battles with the studio of her current picture, Something’s Gotta Give, she was struggling with fame, age, and a studio system in which she no longer fit. When she sat down to give Richard Meryman an interview, she had a lot to say. Originally intended to be an interview about fame, over the course of four hours Marilyn talked about her entire life. Only a small portion of the interview was published in LIFE Magazine. When she died, just two days after the article was published, Meryman put the full transcript and the original tapes in his files, never to see the light of day.

Documenting this landmark interview was iconic photojournalist Allan Grant. His images of Marilyn would be her last formal photo shoot—in her home, in casual clothes, being the glorious, free spirit she was. Grant captured every emotion of the interview in these exquisite images, only eight of which were published alongside the LIFE interview excerpt. Most of the remainder of the images were stored in Allan’s safe, waiting to be rediscovered.

Marilyn: The Lost Photographs • The Last Interview is Marilyn Monroe in her own words—words that haven’t been published, until now. In this recently restored and complete transcript, Marilyn candidly talks about her childhood and life, fame, the studio system, her approach to work, celebrity, being a sex symbol, and more. At times joyous, silly, serious, philosophical and pensive, it is a Marilyn that the world has never experienced. Accompanying the interview are more than 400 of Grant’s extraordinary images, most never published until now.

This beautifully produced book offers readers a glimpse into Marilyn’s mindset during her final month as she began to assert control of her career and address her relationship with celebrity. Deepening the understanding of Marilyn’s talents, humanity, and true legacy, and the appreciation of her true beauty, this is a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic figures in history.]]> 13 02 Life magazine.

With the world returning to its old, unsustainable pace (and expecting us to return with it), we all must learn how to make time to slow down, to pause, and to appreciate the beauty around us. In this inspiring collection of poems, award-winning poet and mindfulness educator James Crews models how the smallest moments of deep attention can also be the most joyful and healing. Each poem offers gentle wisdom and comfort, providing life-changing insights that will resonate long after the last page.

There should be a room in every house
or office building set aside strictly
for breathing. No speaking allowed,
no phones, clocks, or other devices
may be brought inside. Let the walls
be empty and white, only potted ferns
stirring near windows thrown open
to a night-breeze bearing the scents
of jasmine and lilac. You can count
if you like until your heartbeat slows
to its own natural pace, and your mind's
as blank as a page in the back of a book.
If someone asks for directions, say
it’s the room at the end of the hall
with nothing else in it but a few plants
and all the air you can breathe.

Master yogi and lifelong yoga devotee Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu has created an authoritative and comprehensive encyclopedia of yoga poses in Yogasana, making the practice, spirituality, and language of yoga more accessible than ever before.

Nearly a millennium ago, the hatha yoga tradition included over seven hundred thousand yoga poses. Today, only a fraction of those are known. Dr. Vishvketu bridges that gap by connecting modern poses to their ancient roots with an intuitive naming system that fuses past with present.

Sanskrit translation and pronunciation guides help practitioners gain an understanding of the relationship between the name and the spiritual significance of each pose, while the energetic essence of each asana is highlighted with chakra activation indicators for each pose. The 800 poses also appear in the proper sequence of a yoga practice, making it an excellent tool for planning a class or home practice. With poses adapted to every skill level, the encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for both the yoga novice and the studio owner.]]> 13 02

• Explores the meaning of primal emotional wounds, their origins, and how our identification with them can obscure our self-perception

• Shares mantras, emotional ceremonies, rituals, and amulets to help facilitate the creation of a new personal identity

• Provides practices to experience and maintain your new identity such as encounters with yourself, working with the body/soul connection, and embracing forgiveness

Emotional wounds are more than just scars from the past as they often leave unconscious imprints on our souls. Unresolved traumas can develop an existence of their own and become our excuses for why we cannot live a fulfilling life. Yet, these wounds can also serve as catalysts to nourish and transform our experience of life.

Psychotherapist Gina Goldfeder details the emotional wound, its origin, and how our identification with it can obscure our ­self-perception. She draws on case studies and extensive experience from her practice to share tools for transcending pain and to facilitate healing, such as mantras, emotional ceremonies and rituals, amulets, journaling, and personal testimonies. Releasing the emotional wound and creating a new identity is one of our most important challenges and can change our whole experience of life. To maintain this new state of being, Gina offers grounding and stabilizing practices such as encounters with yourself, working with the body/soul connection, embracing forgiveness as a gift, and recognizing the wound as an opportunity.

Centered on the process of acknowledging, honoring, and learning to release the original wound, this guide will help you turn former trauma into new opportunities for expansion and happiness.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/248de42b-3c93-454c-96e8-b32200253f80 01 Findhorn Press SIMO562 Findhorn Press 01 01 Findhorn Press SIMO562 Inner Traditions/Bear & Company 02 20260428 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 08 0.368 lb 08 5.888 oz 08 166.92 gr 27 15 9798888503690 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20260216 20260428 02 29.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 29.99 0.00 20260111 02 32.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 32.99 0.00 20260111 Inner Traditions/Bear & Company AU 01 20260428 9798888504024 02 03 9798888504024 14 19798888504021 15 9798888504024 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Shamanic Soul Retrieval</TitleText> <Subtitle>Calling Back Lost Parts of the Self</Subtitle> 01 248109818 1 A01 Lisa Biritz Biritz, Lisa Lisa Biritz

• Teaches practical methods to heal from trauma and realize a balanced sense of self to overcome emotional, mental, and physical ailments

• Gives practical techniques based on Core Shamanism, which finds its roots in the Indigenous traditions of the world such as the Australian Aborigines and the American First Nations

• Includes visualization exercises and guided meditations that are rooted in these ancient traditions

The practice of shamanic soul retrieval has been transmitted orally among Indigenous cultures for 45,000 years and is among the oldest of healing techniques. Distilling her research and experience as a shaman and spiritual teacher, Lisa Biritz provides a practical guide to shamanic soul retrieval for our time.

Biritz describes the soul as a sphere of light that is brightest when it is whole. Trauma, abuse, and negative life events can cause parts of the soul to split off, and this lowers one’s self-esteem, energy, and light. The author explains how soul fragmentation also leads to a loss of life force and a diminished sense of self and this can give way to emotional, mental, and physical ailments.

With a practical and accessible approach based on years of experience in shamanic healing, Biritz shares shamanic soul retrieval methods and techniques to help readers recover lost soul parts, heal, and return to wholeness. She emphasizes that this process does not require complicated rituals or trance states. Instead, she offers simple methods such as visualization exercises and guided meditations that are rooted in Indigenous traditions.

Shamanism is an ancient and natural way to connect with the divine and the invisible world and anyone can learn to access this healing energy with the right techniques. Shamanic Soul Retrieval is a practical how-to guide that provides clear steps to help individuals restore their soul, regain balance, and experience a renewed sense of vitality and joy.]]> 13 02 Shamanic Star Wisdom Oracle, learned shamanic practices from the work of Sandra Ingerman (Core Shamanism) and Sun Bear.

The majority of people who consult my practice have already sought advice for their health concerns from many doctors. However, conventional medicine has only been partly able to help them. Their symptoms would often be alleviated for a short time, but would reappear in exactly the same or in a similar way at a later stage.

In the process of searching for healing, the path to a shamanic practice is deeply rooted in the history of humankind: medicine men and shamans, similar to our doctors and psychologists, have long worked together in ancient indigenous cultures. They were frequently even the same person, with the one complementing the other, together in the healing process.

It is therefore only natural that sooner or later many people turn from conventional academic medicine to alternative healing.

My clients are entirely justified in seeking a complete healing for their physical or psychological concerns, sensing intuitively that the deeper causes and solutions may be found in their soul.

Like almost everyone practicing shamanism in our Western world, I too found the path to ancient healing methods through my own health issues and a near-death experience. Shamanism even has a specific expression to describe this—a wounded healer, someone who, due to a life-threatening illness, a psychosis, or a near-death experience “goes to the other side” and returns to life of their own accord. They bring with them knowledge and an understanding of the path to recovery on a deep cellular level. Consequently, they are well placed to accompany other people in their healing, and at the same time develop a compassionate heart for all beings, something that is a prerequisite for good healing work.

Although my childhood was characterized by affluence, I grew up nonetheless in a strict parental home and was raised in accordance with what might be termed old school ways, as did many of my generation. My parents were shaped by the Second World War and the postwar era. For them, their expression of love was that we children should grow up with material security, leaving little room for feelings, which were rationalized or suppressed.

In addition, as I emerged from puberty into adulthood, I had to watch helplessly as my brother—and this is how I explain it to myself today—slipped into schizophrenia due to birth trauma through lack of oxygen combined with our harsh upbringing. To witness how a person whom I loved dearly could lose his mind and his grounding and suffer deeply as a result was one of the most painful experiences in my life, characterized by feelings of total powerlessness.

I myself suffered from problems caused by a slipped disc and pains in the lower abdomen during that time. Not surprisingly, I was also psychologically imbalanced, my emotions fluctuating between fear and anger. It often felt as though my soul were burning. Everything hurt and my heart was crying out. I was not free and I was not happy.

The many doctors that I consulted could help me only superficially or not at all. To some extent, my conditions even got worse. I was groping in the dark and had no idea why I was feeling that way. I realized I had to consciously seek out becoming healthy. Since I found no answers in the West, I traveled around the world to seek teachers on every continent. It was my only chance to become healthy and happy again. During this time, I also went through a near-death experience in Asia, during a short but very severe and dangerous illness.

I tried out pretty much everything during my fascinating travels, from yoga and shiatsu, via faith healers and gurus in India, to the shamans of North and South America and African and Australian healers. I spent time with those who really helped me and received their training.

Shamanic soul retrieval is one of the methods that helped me, and in a surprisingly simple and yet such effective way. It is worth noting that it is practiced by all indigenous cultures, regardless of where they are in the world. It is performed, for instance, by the Aborigines, the indigenous peoples of South and North America, and the ancient Mongolian peoples. This is because the understanding of life energy and vitality as an intact, shining, and vital soul is universal, as are the methods of making the soul whole again when it has been harmed or injured.

During my travels, I have learned that healing is essentially very straightforward. You just need the appropriate tools.

With this book, I want to give you a guide to understanding soul retrieval and making the soul whole again. I also recommend my oracle card set entitled “Soul-Medicine.” This will help you to rediscover your soul fragments so that you can shine again, wake up with joy in the morning, and enjoy life to the full with a spirit of adventure.

Although the exercises described here are very effective, you may not be able to make progress with some issues. In which case, please seek help in the form of a professionally conducted soul retrieval with a trained and practicing shaman.

However, to use the exercises in this book, no special training or specific skills are required. The invisible world opens up to anyone who is sincere in their search for healing, wholeness, and truth. You will soon be able to feel and enjoy your vital, radiant, and healthy soul again.

You are whole when you feel whole!

What Is Shamanic Soul Retrieval?

We are all familiar with the phenomenon. Some people are just bursting with vitality and seem to be ageless, although they may already be way past retirement age. But it has nothing to do with plastic surgery because their lives are clearly visible in the lines on their faces. These people often seem to have more energy than some of their younger contemporaries who could be their grandchildren. Looking at them, you might think in admiration that you would also like to age in the same way.

Where does this energy and vitality, independent of age, come from? Where does our life force come from in the first place?

As is often the case, the answer is so obvious and simple that we readily overlook it—it is the soul that contains our life energy. Like a glowing, luminous ball of light, it gives us vitality. In Hawaiian huna shamanism, for example, the soul is even described as a “bowl of light and life.”

The soul: a luminous sphere of light

When I perform healing work, I ask my clients to imagine their soul as a vibrating, glowing ball of energy. As soon as they close their eyes, they can nearly always see their soul sphere clearly, and also see where parts are missing.

Over time, due to painful and traumatic experiences, fragments of our soul energy may leave us. In modern psychology this phenomenon is known as dissociation, and in shamanism soul loss. When there is no possibility of changing or healing a painful experience, parts of the soul split off and leave. This act of leaving and finding a safe place where fragments of the soul can no longer be hurt is often the only strategy that we humans have left to protect ourselves. At the same time all memories of the painful event follow the soul fragments, which is why traumatized people frequently cannot remember stressful events at all.

When fragments of the soul are missing, we feel dull, incomplete, and lacking in essential life energy. The consequences can range from constant fatigue, depression, chronic illness, addiction, and recurring accidents to personality disorders. We feel as though we are not really living but are functioning on “automatic pilot” or as if we are living our lives for something or somebody else. These fragments of the soul do not return on their own.]]> 04 02 Foreword by Susanne Hühn and Mike Köhler

From the Navy SEAL instructor who discovered that mental toughness comes from compassion, not discipline.

Every parent wants to raise strong, confident kids who can handle life's storms. But what if the real secret to toughness isn't toughness at all?

As a Navy SEAL sniper instructor, Brandon Webb once believed mental toughness came from pressure and perfection. Then he became a dad—and everything changed.

He discovered that real resilience isn't built by pushing harder—it's grown through compassion, connection, and the words our kids hear from us every day. A steady "You've got this" or "Try again, I believe in you" plants confidence deeper than any consequence ever could. Webb admits he's had some incredible jobs in his life, but being a dad is by far the best one. It's where he's learned that strength and kindness aren't opposites—they're teammates.

Puddle Jumper Parenting: Raise Kids Who Aren’t Afraid to Get Messy
You don't have to choose between gentle parenting that feels too permissive and authoritarian discipline that damages connection. Webb offers a proven alternative that builds real mental toughness without breaking your child's spirit.

Puddle Jumper Parenting is about raising kids who leap, splash, and grow stronger with every mess. They're not afraid to make mistakes, take risks, or bounce back from failure. It's the opposite of raising box-checkers or perfectionists—it's about building true resilience and joy through high expectations and high support.

This approach works because it focuses on building genuine confidence from within, using the same mental-management principles that create elite performers in the most demanding environments on earth.

In This Book, You’ll Discover How To:
  • Replace harsh criticism with positive self-talk that builds lasting confidence
  • Use visualization techniques to reduce your child's anxiety and boost performance
  • Help children handle stress, setbacks, and failure without falling apart
  • Create clear boundaries while maintaining emotional connection
  • Give kids the freedom to fail forward—the key to real resilience
  • Build supportive structure that encourages independence instead of dependence
  • Develop inner strength that serves children throughout their lives

This Isn’t Theory. It’s Proven.
Webb merges the discipline of elite training with the humanity of raising three kids in a changing world. What he teaches isn't theory—it's lived experience, refined through years of showing up, falling short, and trying again. Now, with his kids grown and carving their own paths, he sees the real mission accomplished: they're grounded, joyful, and living lives on their own terms. And for any parent, that's the greatest victory there is.

This is what truly builds mental toughness—calm consistency, compassion, and connection. That's Puddle Jumper Parenting.

"We're all figuring it out as we go along. Even the 'pros.'"

This brutally honest collection reveals what it's like to have your most private moments become public—what really happens when you give a broken teenager the world at his fingertips, then watch him nearly lose everything.

"This is, to date, my most vulnerable and terrifying piece of work."

From the depths of addiction and suicidal ideation to the hard-won lessons of recovery, Bassett shares his journey with raw vulnerability and courage. Along the way, he discovers that even in our darkest moments, we can choose to keep moving forward.

"The only way out of fear is to face it again and again until it loses its grip."

More than a memoir, Rookie is a movement celebrating the sacred space between who we've been and who we're becoming. A hopeful roadmap and practical wisdom for anyone learning that your worst moments don't define you, even when the whole world is watching.

"I keep waiting for the sea to settle when I need to learn how to surf."

For anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider, struggled with self-doubt, or wondered if things can get better, this book is for you.

Giraud garnered worldwide acclaim predominantly under the pseudonym Mœbius (/'mo?bi?s/;[1] French: [møbjys]) for his fantasy/science-fiction work, and to a slightly lesser extent as Gir (French: [?i?]), which he used for the Blueberry series and his other Western-themed work. Esteemed by Federico Fellini, Stan Lee, and Hayao Miyazaki, among others,[2] he has been described as the most influential bande dessinée artist after Hergé.[3]

His most famous body of work as Gir concerns the Blueberry series, created with writer Jean-Michel Charlier, featuring one of the first antiheroes in Western comics, and which is particularly valued in continental Europe. As Mœbius, he achieved worldwide renown (in this case in the English-speaking nations and Japan, as well – where his work as Gir had not done well), by creating a wide range of science-fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative, surreal, almost abstract style. These works include Arzach and the Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius. He also collaborated with avant garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky for an unproduced adaptation of Dune and the comic-book series The Incal.

Mœbius also contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science-fiction and fantasy films, such as Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element, and The Abyss. Blueberry was adapted for the screen in 2004 by French director Jan Kounen]]> 2 A09 Jean-Pierre Dionnet Dionnet, Jean-Pierre Jean-Pierre Dionnet Jean-Pierre Dionnet is a French comics writer. He was born in Paris on November 25th, 1947, at a time when there was still rationing in the capital, so he spent the first five years of his life in central France. He fell behind in school and focused solely on his goal of working in comics. While pursuing his dream of becoming a scriptwriter, he worked as a broker on the weekend, and he was also a bookstore clerk at the first rendition of Futuropolis. Jean-Pierre Dionnet started his career as a comics writer in Pilote in 1971. His first comics work was writing short stories for such artists as Jacques Tardi and Jean Solé. In 1974, he wrote Tiriel for Raymond Poïvet and joined the editorial team of L'Écho des Savanes, where he continued to write on the side. A year later, he founded the magazine Métal Hurlant, along with Bernard Farkas, Philippe Druillet, and Moebius. He remained editor-in-chief of the magazine until 1985. Alongside his editorial activities, Dionnet remained active as a scriptwriter, creating stories for Jean-Claude Gal (Les Armées du Conquérant, Arn) and Enki Bilal (Exterminateur 17). Jean-Pierre Dionnet has also been active in the television world, though at the age of 60 he decided to leave the industry to devote himself once more to scriptwriting. His ensuing work includes a sweeping series about the history of America between 1929 and 2147, in a parallel world where the gods live alongside humans: Des Dieux et des hommes (Dargaud; Of Gods and Men, Europe Comics), in collaboration with Laurent Theureau, Roberto Baldazzini, and Moebius.]]> 3 A09 Philippe Druillet Druillet, Philippe Philippe Druillet Philippe Druillet was born in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, France, but spent his youth in Spain, returning to France in 1952 after the death of his father. A science fiction and comics fan, Druillet worked as a photographer after graduating from high school, drawing only for his own pleasure.

His first published series was his version of Michael Moorcock's Elric stories in a short-lived magazine. His first book, Le Mystère des abîmes (The Mystery of the Abyss), appeared in 1966.[1] It introduced his recurring hero Lone Sloane and played on science-fiction themes partially inspired by his favourite writers, H. P. Lovecraft and A.E. van Vogt. Later, Druillet created book covers for new editions of Lovecraft's work, as well as numerous movie posters.

After Druillet became a regular contributor to the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote in 1970, his Lone Sloane saga grew steadily more flamboyant as he pursued innovative new imagery, including bold page designs and computer-generated images. His backdrops of gigantic structures inspired by Art Nouveau, indigenous architecture, and Gothic cathedrals earned him the nickname of "space architect". Six tales about Sloane's exploits were collected in Les six voyages de Lone Sloane in 1972, hailed by many as his masterpiece, and Sloane was again the hero of the graphic novel Délirius (1973), written by Jacques Lob. In 1973, Druillet also produced the Moorcock's Elric-inspired Yragaël for Pilote, and Vuzz for the magazine Phénix.

In 1975, Druillet joined Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Bernard Farkas, and Moebius to form the publishing house Les Humanoïdes Associés and the magazine Métal Hurlant.[1] This was to be a vehicle for his finest stories, and showcased a steady evolution in his graphical skills. His series Lone Sloane and Vuzz continued, and other stories of this period include La Nuit, and Nosferatu. In 1980, Druillet produced Salammbô, a comic book trilogy based upon Flaubert's proto–heroic fantasy novel Salammbô.

Outside his work as a cartoonist and illustrator, Druillet has also been active in architecture, rock opera, painting, sculpture, and digital art. He worked as a designer on the film Sorcerer, directed by William Friedkin in 1976. He collaborated on Rolf Liebermann's Wagner Space Opera in the Opera de Paris in the late 1970s to early 1980s, and founded the Space Art Création in 1984.[1] More recently, he created the artwork and designed large parts of the background of the 2005 TV miniseries remake Les Rois maudits (The Accursed Kings).]]> 01 eng 272 00 272 03 CGN001000 FX 2.1 10 CGN004070 10 CGN004060 20 heavy metal; arzach; arzak; moebius; giraud; gir; blueberry; lone sloane; national lampoon; william gibson; j.g. ballard; robert crumb; george lucas; star wars; akira; hayao miyazaki; studio ghibli; anthology; sci-fi magazine; incal; dune; denis villeneuve; pilote; blade runner; ridley scott; fifth element; enki bilal; ah!nana; french comics; bande dessinée; bd; airtight garage; metabarons; richard corben; den; punk; 93 XQL 01 01 13 02 Jean Henri Gaston Giraud (French: [?i?o]; 8 May 1938 – 10 March 2012) was a French artist, cartoonist, and writer who worked in the Franco-Belgian bandes dessinées (BD) tradition.

What happens when the life you built stops making sense? One man finds out the hard, funny, and painfully honest way.

When Garth Gerhart receives word that his estranged father has died, he boards a plane to Montana carrying more than a suitcase—he carries decades of silence, regret, and questions without answers. What begins as an obligation to bury the past turns into an unflinching confrontation with it.

Montana Made is a brutally funny and achingly honest memoir about what it means to come undone in the middle of life. With the sharp wit of a Mad Magazine humorist and the raw candor of a man in free fall, Gerhart wrestles with grief, depression, family, and the fragile rules we cling to just to keep going.

Along winding highways and in awkward family reunions, through therapy sessions and late-night breakdowns, Gerhart discovers that healing rarely looks heroic. Sometimes it looks like failure. Sometimes it looks like laughter. Sometimes it looks like finally daring to turn around and face where you came from.

For anyone who has ever wondered how to keep living when the life you built no longer makes sense, Montana Made is a testament to the mess, the madness, and the small mercies that can still bring us home.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/0e35dfd0-ab44-4a16-90d2-b363002fecf0 01 Library Tales Publishing SIMO981 Library Tales Publishing 01 01 Library Tales Publishing SIMO981 Library Tales Publishing 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 08 0.376 lb 08 6.016 oz 08 170.55 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 25 02 37.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 37.99 0.00 20260125 02 42.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 42.99 0.00 20260125 Library Tales Publishing AU 01 20260512 9798894410340 02 03 9798894410340 14 19798894410347 15 9798894410340 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Jonas Pail</TitleText> 01 244501763 1 A01 Hilkka Wiesner Wiesner, Hilkka Hilkka Wiesner 01 eng 110 00 110 03 JUV037040 YF 2.1 10 JUV019000 10 JUV039230 20 middle grade fantasy, children’s fantasy books, humorous fantasy adventure, Roald Dahl style books, books like Matilda, books like The BFG, funny fantasy novels, bullied boy hero, magical adventure story, adventure with monsters, whimsical fantasy novel, fairy tale adventure, Lewis Carroll style, Alice in Wonderland fans, Cornelia Funke books, Brandon Mull readers, books like Fablehaven, Neil Gaiman Coraline style, fantasy for kids 8 12, fantasy novels with gnomes, goblins and creatures, magical lands books, whimsical worldbuilding, fantasy with humor, quirky fantasy novel, fantasy with bullying theme, kids fantasy with siblings, brother sister adventure story, dark lord fantasy for kids, magical quest books, fantasy hero underdog, funny middle grade fiction, adventure books for reluctant readers, imaginative fantasy stories, fantasy with clever hero, whimsical fantasy journey, evil ruler fantasy, light versus dark fantasy, classic fantasy style, fantasy with wordplay, humorous narration fantasy, fantasy without gore, books for Dahl fans, adventure through magical lands, quirky sidekick fantasy, talking creature adventure, portal fantasy for kids, bullied child overcoming odds, funny magical rescue story, bedtime fantasy read, family friendly fantasy novel, international middle grade fantasy, contemporary humorous fantasy. 93 YF 01 02 01 02 A bold, witty middle grade fantasy where a bullied boy must rescue his sister and save a crumbling magical world, perfect for fans of Roald Dahl, Cornelia Funke, and Lewis Carroll.

Jonas Pail is twelve, bullied at school, tormented at home—and about to stumble into a secret that could change two worlds forever.

When his moody big sister Susie vanishes inside the ruins of a creepy old house, everyone assumes she’s run away. Everyone except Jonas. Then a peculiar little creature bursts out of the fireplace with alarming news: Susie has been taken—and only Jonas can bring her back.

Eldrick “Tiger” Woods was transcendent, ultimately eclipsing superstar athlete status to becoming a global household name. Yet his story remains enigmatic. In Project Tiger, veteran golf journalist Gavin Newsham uncovers the answers, providing a portrait of the greatest golfer ever as a young man, a rendering that refines and deepens our understanding of his character and legacy.

Tiger’s mother Kultida nurtured him, keeping him focused, but no one was more instrumental in sculpting him as a golfer and as a man than his father. With Tiger swinging golf clubs before his first birthday, Earl Woods took the mantle as drill sergeant coach, coldly imposing his “Project Tiger” goals to lead his son to sports stardom.

Following these intense expectations, Tiger grew up with fear and obsession. Fear that any childhood injury could ruin his life, but obsessive fuel to be the best. Even at age six, Tiger lasted only fifteen minutes at the LA Open watching others play before he begged to leave and find somewhere he could practice. As he got older and impatient, he snuck onto golf courses, including the ultra-exclusive Cypress Point Golf Club, to play a few holes before being thrown off. By the time he made his pro debut at twenty years old, the chaotic crowd and media blitz engulfed him, and it included racism more hostile than any other living athlete has endured. And with Tiger’s rapid ascension also emerged entitlement and arrogance. He learned to ignore people who were no longer valuable to him, such as abruptly sacking his first agent soon after he signed deals worth $60 million.

Gavin Newsham leaves no stone unturned as he shares these behind-the-scenes stories from Tiger’s coaches, rivals, golf role models, and even girlfriends to chart his spectacular amateur rise and dominant triumph along with the warning signs of scandal and monumental downfall decades later. Only in Project Tiger can you witness the exhilaration and the consequences that history's most sensational golf prodigy's achieving greatness brings.]]> 13 02 Golf Punk magazine, has served as a contributing editor at Golf Monthly, and is the author of multiple books.

“Even before his iconic 'Hello World' debut, Tiger Woods was a golf prodigy unlike any other. Newsham does a brilliant job exploring the formative years of the young phenom, from his televised debut at age two to his unprecedented run of six consecutive USGA amateur titles to turning pro in 1996 and immediately reshaping the sport in his image. This book goes deep on all of it: a unique father-son relationship; Tiger's rare mental fortitude; and once-in-a-lifetime golf dominance. This is a chance to better understand the birth of greatness.” 
—Alan Shipnuck, 13x GWAA award-winning journalist and bestselling golf author of Phil and Rory 

“The highs and lows of Tiger Woods’ professional golf life—the 15 majors and 82 PGA Tour wins along with the multiple injuries and off-course controversies—are well chronicled. What’s far less well-known—or appreciated—is how Tiger developed into that superstar/flawed individual. In Project Tiger, Gavin Newsham offers a well-reported look at the most influential period in Woods’ life and expert insight into the people around Tiger and how they shaped him into the champion he became.” 
—Ryan Herrington, Managing Editor at Golf Digest 

“Tiger Woods remains the leading personality in the world of golf. Extraordinary playing success provided a platform that led to him becoming one of the game’s most enduring and significant influencers. How it all began is a story that provides vital insight. In Project Tiger, Gavin Newsham supplies a diligent, informed and entertaining account of how the fledgling Woods was molded into one of the greatest figures sport has ever known.”

From 1968 to 1973, Jim McLean played for the University of Houston, where Coach Dave Williams had created the greatest golf dynasty in NCAA history. Dozens of highly competitive young golfers thought they’d be a starter, but with forty players on the team, they battled for only five spots, and few ever qualified. As part of Houston’s number-one college golf program, PGA Hall of Fame member Jim McLean digs into its past highlights to share what it was like to live in an athletic dorm, what it really took to create lasting greatness, and why it was so difficult.

Step into college life and the intense NCAA rivalries, and meet the team’s stars and their biggest rivals—many of whom went on to win professional championships. And at the center was legendary Coach Dave Williams, building Houston into a powerhouse while driving the team to each tournament in his signature green station wagon.

Similar to Dan Jenkins or Rick Reilly, McLean’s stories are witty and unforgettable, and he has so many that The Houston Dynasty selected the very best of them.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/74f7eb6a-6104-4dd1-b444-b33e00258378 01 Radius Book Group SIMN028 Radius Book Group 01 01 Radius Book Group SIMN028 Diversion Publishing 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 08 0.435 lb 08 6.96 oz 08 197.31 gr 27 15 9798895151327 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 30 02 49.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 49.99 0.00 20260125 02 59.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260125 Diversion Publishing AU 01 20260512 9798895650301 03 03 9798895650301 14 19798895650308 15 9798895650301 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Forever Fly Free</TitleText> <Subtitle>One Woman's Story of Resilience and the Power of Hope and Love</Subtitle> 01 241341538 1 A01 Jenny Brandemuehl Brandemuehl, Jenny Jenny Brandemuehl 01 eng 288 00 288 03 SEL010000 VFJX 2.1 10 BUS107000 10 BIO026000 20 Grief and Healing Memoir, Love and Loss Story, Overcoming Tragedy, Inner Strength After Loss, Resilience and Hope After Loss, Surviving Loss of a Spouse, Coping with Death and Grief, Life After Tragedy Memoir, Miracles and Healing Journey, Rebuilding Life After Loss, Memoir of Survival and Self-Discovery, Finding New Love After Grief, Personal Transformation Through Grief, Life and Death Struggles Memoir, Healing from Grief and Trauma, Love, Hope, Resilience, Burn Center Survival Story, Tragic Accident Memoir, Rebuilding After Loss Memoir, Strength and Gratitude After Loss 93 VFJX 01 01 01 02 A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

A powerful story of love and hope in the face of overwhelming tragedy, offering a captivating reminder that we all have the strength to rebuild, heal, and find love again.

When Jenny and Mark first cross paths at a New York tech company, their lives couldn’t seem more different. Jenny was born in New York but raised as a Chinese American expat in Hong Kong, Taipei, and Kuala Lumpur, so different from Mark, who grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm. Yet their shared love for adventure and deep curiosity about life pull them together, igniting a passionate bond. With two sons and thriving Silicon Valley careers, they build what seems like the perfect life.

But in an instant, everything changes. When Mark’s small plane crashes after takeoff from Scottsdale Airport, he survives but is left with life-threatening burns, plunging their family into unimaginable turmoil. As Mark fights for his life at the Arizona Burn Center, Jenny's world shatters—yet through a series of miracles, flickers of hope emerge.

Forever Fly Free tells the poignant story of Jenny’s transformative journey—one marked by love, loss, and a resilience she never knew she possessed. As tragedy strikes again, Jenny is forced to look within, rediscovering herself in the process. In the face of heartache, she rebuilds her life with newfound strength, learning that love can heal in ways she never imagined.

This is the story of an ordinary woman thrust into extraordinary circumstances, who rises above it all with a deeper sense of gratitude, purpose, and a heart open to love once more.]]> 13 02 08 02 Forever Fly Free is an inspiring story of grief, hope, love, and the power of everyday miracles, a reminder that we are all one phone call away from our own tragedies, and that we are stronger than we know.”]]> Janis Cooke Newman, author of <I>Mary: Mrs. A Lincoln</I>,<I> USA Today</I> Historical Novel of the Year 08 02 Dr. Connie Mariano, former White House physician, and author of <I>The White House Doctor: My Patients Were Presidents</I> 08 02 Reader Views 5 Star Review 08 02 Forever Fly Free left me with tears, yes, but also with warmth.

When Sheldon Adelson died in 2021, he left behind a sprawling business empire worth hundreds of billions of dollars. His career as a philanthropist, political activist, and supporter of Israel were no less legendary. Now, in this memoir based on recorded interviews, the late business visionary tells in his own voice the remarkable story of his rags-to-riches rise from penniless newsie to resort hotel and entertainment titan.

Born in 1933 to immigrant parents in a rough-and-tumble Boston neighborhood where he literally had to fight his way to school, Sheldon was imbued from the beginning with a strong Jewish identity, self-reliance, pragmatism, and deep loyalty to family and friends. Using money scraped together selling papers, he launched a series of small businesses that taught him the fundamentals of entrepreneurship even before he knew the word. At every step, he innovated, approaching each new venture with an inveterate outsider’s perspective that enabled him to see opportunities where others could only see obstacles.

Though frequently described as a casino mogul, Sheldon actually backed into the business through a successful career as a tour packager, conventioneer, and hotel builder, along the way developing a unique resort concept that combined business travel with luxury accommodation, shopping, entertainment, and gambling. In the process, he transformed Las Vegas and went on to reshape the skylines of Macau and Singapore.

Few business memoirs convey as this one does the sheer exuberance of using one’s creative gifts to build, expand, and innovate. It also shows a warm, human side of the hard-driving businessman that few have seen. Above all, it is a touching love story that celebrates the unique partnership he formed with his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson, who helped him expand his philanthropic activities to include medical research and support for Israel.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/14418f0b-6e95-4401-af28-b33100248c9e 01 Wicked Son SIMO773 Wicked Son 01 01 Wicked Son SIMO773 Wicked Son 04 20260512 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 08 1.213 lb 08 19.408 oz 08 550.21 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260512 02 55.00 AUD AU Z 0.00 55.00 0.00 20260125 02 65.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 65.00 0.00 20260125 Wicked Son AU 01 20260512 9798895651612 02 03 9798895651612 14 19798895651619 15 9798895651612 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Digital Human Advantage</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Digital Human Advantage</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle>Driving Business Growth Through Intelligent Digital Agents</Subtitle> 01 244953266 1 A01 Asha Saxena Saxena, Asha Asha Saxena

John Hay’s contributions to Abraham Lincoln’s political oratory—including his First Inaugural of March 1861, Springfield Farewell Speech of February 1861, the Gettysburg Address of November 1863, as well as many others—uplifted the president’s influence. An extraordinary transformation that appeared throughout his speeches, Hay helped launch Lincoln’s Republican campaign that culminated in Lincoln being elected the 16th president of the United States.

The rhyme and language of a writer’s voice is the living soul of narrative. The evolution of John Hay’s voice, established during his formative and college years at Brown University and echoed during his time with Abraham Lincoln, is documented in Lincoln’s Speechwriter through evidence of Hay’s distinct voice and Lincoln’s ability to engage audiences, fused into something remarkable.

Lincoln’s Speechwriter gives readers a closer look into the man behind the political voice that was Lincoln himself.]]> 13 02 Showplace of America, has sold over twenty thousand units `and remains in print after thirty years.

Wagaman, MD 08 02 In Lincoln’s Speechwriter, Jan Cigliano Hartman makes a strong case that John Hay had a greater role not only in writing Lincoln’s Cooper Union speech and those that followed until the assassination, but that the literary quality of the language in the speeches— such as the two inaugural addresses, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the Gettysburg Address—which is generally attributed to Lincoln himself, largely came from Hay. Hartman’s careful comparison of Hay’s own writings, beginning with those from his undergraduate years, with the language attributed to Lincoln, establishes Hay’s central role in several of the most important speeches in American history.”]]> Robert Wilson, author of biographies for Mathew Brady, P.

When Nathan and Linda Carman were a week overdue on a fishing trip out of Point Judith, Rhode Island, few thought they would still be alive. Even the Coast Guard had called off its search. So it seemed miraculous when Nathan was spotted—on a life raft, 106 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard—by the Chinese freighter ORIENT LUCKY.

But was it more than luck? Nathan survived but his mother did not. Then news broke that Nathan was the primary suspect in his grandfather’s murder three years before, though the case chilled from a missing firearm. The last person to see both victims alive, twenty-two-year-old Nathan was now in line for a $10 million inheritance!

Or was Nathan, evidently on the Autism spectrum, plain unlucky to have lost the only two people close to him? As he claimed on national TV, was the focus on him as the “the lowest hanging fruit” just prejudice?

With no witnesses, no charges in his grandfather’s shooting, and no body for his mother lost at sea, both cases might have gone cold…except that Nathan made an insurance claim for his lost boat. Enter maritime attorney David J. Farrell, Jr. who ties together Nathan’s evil and greedy scheme.

Follow the author’s team dissect Nathan’s final voyage, extract exclusive testimony, and assemble evidence from around the world. In Dead in the Water, you’ll pull up a seat inside the federal court trial to see if Nathan’s dream of drifting away with millions of dollars comes true.]]> 13 02

The rules of marketing and brand building have fundamentally changed.

While traditional marketers compete for diminishing TV audiences, a new generation of brands have stopped trying to buy attention; instead, they earn it. They don’t interrupt culture—they become part of it.

The most successful brands today aren’t necessarily the ones with the biggest marketing budgets. A multi-million-dollar ad campaign isn’t worth what it once was, and progressive marketers know that and have adopted different strategies. The brands that dominate aren’t just seen—they’re discussed. This isn’t just changing how brands communicate—it’s transforming the very nature of how they’re built and what plants them into the public consciousness.

Tesla built a billion-dollar business without a dollar of traditional advertising. Glossier transformed beauty by engaging communities rather than preaching to them. K-Pop band BTS generated billions of dollars in sales by using social media to build an army of fans.

What unites these successes is a shift from competing for share of market to competing for share of culture.

Share of Culture reveals the principles behind their success: How they connect with their audience and get them talking. Drawing on marketing science and real-world case studies, renowned brand strategist Paul Parton outlines a practical model for building brands in the new attention economy where a surplus of goods is mirrored by a deficit of attention, and where conversation is currency.]]> 13 02

America is in an undeclared state of emergency. Not since the Cold War has the US faced such powerful enemies—and our military isn’t ready. Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer of Palantir, issues an urgent call to action: Mobilize.

The American industrial base once underwrote American victory. Builders and workers rallied to win World War II. For most of the twentieth century, great American companies from General Mills to Chrysler had defense businesses that sent mankind into space and won the Cold War. But the forges fell silent and the furnaces went dark. America’s innovators and warfighters were ripped apart. Now China, not America, leads the world in manufacturing. America is the underdog. The good news is, we’ve been here before.

Mobilize tells the remarkable true stories of the Americans who moved heaven and earth to produce for our troops and help our country win the twentieth century. And it exposes the shocking blunders that broke the Pentagon and weakened our military.

There’s a war for America’s future, stymied between the forces of complacency and change. If we empower exceptional individuals and harness the power of capitalism and competition, America can unleash the brains and brawn we need to resurrect our industrial base, stop World War III, and help our country build—and win.]]> 13 02 Shyam Sankar is the chief technology officer and executive vice president of Palantir Technologies.

Inspired by true events, this Chinatown-meets–The Grapes of Wrath novel tells the story of California’s Sacramento Delta farmers facing off against agribusiness owners over the massive water tunnel(s) the state plans to build under hundreds of thousands of acres of prime Delta farmland.

Winter 2022-’23 inundated California with as much as three times the average rain and snowfall and pulled the state out of one of its biggest droughts in recorded history. But the truth is that the American West, from the Oregon border down to Mexico, is prone to drought—and in California, the biggest battle for water takes place in the Great Central Valley, where south-of-Delta agribusiness controls every stream feeding into the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. The protagonists of More Than Any River are the family farmers fighting for the Delta, and the antagonist is the big agribusiness controlling its water—but ultimately, the Great Central Valley itself emerges as the central character in this gripping tale of divisive land politics and high stakes.]]> 13 02 Victoria Tatum received her MFA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State and her MA in Education from UC Santa Cruz.

All Isabelle Marsden wants when she moves from Chicago to Kansas is a place to retreat, reassess, and regain control of her life after an ugly #MeToo experience. But after a chance encounter with a free-spirited artist who carries a wallaby in a baby sling and makes assemblages from roadkill, she’s drawn into a community of eccentrics who soon have her lobbying to rescue their Summer Solstice parade, conducting surveillance at a roadside zoo, and visiting an outsider artist’s strange, yet intriguing, sculpture garden. 

Inspired by that wild creation, Belle starts her own peculiar assemblage, convinced it’s the key to repairing her fractured life. As she uncovers her hidden creativity—and madness—her project lands her in trouble with her landlady, the city zoning department, and even the police. Ultimately, her only way through is to rely on help from her found family of oddball characters—and on her newly redefined self. ]]> 13 02 Nan Sanders Pokerwinski is a former journalist who has appreciated unconventional art and eccentric people all her life.

We are all shaped by the cultures that surround us—their expectations, ideals, and norms. But what happens when those cultures collide? When your mother embodies one world and your father another?

In this profoundly personal follow-up to Portrait of a Feminist, Marianna Marlowe explores the intersections of race, class, and gender as they are molded by family, religion, and migration. Born to a Peruvian mother and an American father, Marlowe’s early life spanned continents—from the Philippines to Ecuador, Brazil to the United States—leaving her with a sense of belonging everywhere and nowhere at once. Through a series of thematically linked essays, she reflects on the complexities of identity, the fluidity of culture, and the enduring search for home.

Now raising two sons with her Syrian Muslim husband, Marlowe continues to navigate the ever-shifting landscapes of culture, language, and faith. Inspired by scholar Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of the borderlands, Portrait of a Mestiza is both a meditation on life lived in the “in-between” spaces and a call to dismantle the binaries that divide us. Thought-provoking and deeply relevant, this collection urges us to embrace hybridity, challenge inherited limitations, and create for ourselves more ethical and expansive lives.  ]]> 13 02 Marianna Marlowe is a Latina writer who focuses on creative nonfiction that explores issues of gender identity, feminism, cultural hybridity, intersectionality, and more.

On October 7, 1964, Debra Miller’s life turns upside down when her mother is arrested for the murder of her father. At only fourteen years old, Debra becomes a ward of the court, grappling with the unfathomable trauma of watching her mother’s trial and conviction—a devastation that is only amplified when her family’s tragedy is splashed across headlines nationwide and featured in Joan Didion’s Slouching Towards Bethlehem.

Desperate to escape the notoriety of her family and utterly ill equipped to face the world, Debra spends her young adulthood sinking into mental illness, toxic relationships, and substance abuse. Meanwhile, her unrepentant mother, Lucille, uses Debra to supply contraband in prison. When Lucille is released, twentysomething Debra, seeking the love and support she so desperately desires, moves in with her—only to find herself constantly manipulated and dragged into her mother’s illegal activities. Torn between love and survival, Debra spends years trying to escape her mother’s vortex even as she battles her own demons. Ultimately, it’s only when Lucille passes away that Debra finally frees herself from her grip—and realizes she needs to change her life.

In this raw and poignant memoir, Debra Miller bares the scars of an adolescence and adulthood shaped by the impact of a destructive mother and demonstrates that healing is always possible—even in the face of a past that just won’t let go.]]> 13 02 Debra Miller grew up in San Bernardino County, where her mother was convicted of murdering her father when Debra was fourteen years old—the story she chronicles in The Most Wonderful Terrible Person, which is her debut memoir.

Nette Nilsson has big dreams and is in the midst of pursuing them—starting by leaving Denmark to attend university in Toronto, Canada—when she falls for a beguiling but volatile American. Their romance moves fast, and in what seems like no time she finds herself living a privileged but deeply unhappy life in New York with her now-husband, Cal. After suffering for too long, she finally begins to find her way onto a better path—only to be abruptly faced with a life-threatening physical condition. To survive and to heal, Nette must confront dark family lies and her hidden traumas and find her own power again.

In an era of increasing awareness regarding how many strong, intelligent women ignore their gut and lose themselves—and the lives they dream of having—when they become entangled with toxic men, Soul-Happy illuminates the underlying reasons for one promising young woman’s downhill slide after she falls for “the wrong kind of love,” and follows her harrowing battle to put herself back together again.]]> 13 02 Anette Nilsson was raised in Denmark and spent most of her adult life in Toronto and New York.

When three generations of women—a Gen X narrator, her seventy-seven-year-old mother, and her twenty-two-year-old Gen Z daughter—set out for a quick trip to California's Central Coast, what begins as a road trip soon transforms into something far richer: a modern-day Odyssey. Over the course of three days, the three women brave a severe winter storm, encounter ravenous ostriches, walk through an enchanted light exhibit, binge-watch White Lotus, hunt for coffee with plant-based milk, bicker, reconcile, and share stories.

Troika braids the narrative of a three-day road trip with the longer strands of migration, memory, and motherhood, creating a layered meditation on distance traveled—geographic, generational, and emotional. The result is a kaleidoscopic journey that traverses the landscapes of identity and family history and stretches from the horrors of the second world war and an escape from Soviet Russia to adolescence and motherhood in the suburbs of Silicon Valley. As the narrative swerves from heartbreak to hilarity, from Homeric detours and Russian proverbs to internet memes, it weaves together an intimate, poignant, and darkly funny meditation on how we get from where we were to where we are—and what we carry with us along the way.]]> 13 02 Irena Smith is a college admissions expert and the author of the award-winning memoir The Golden Ticket: A Life in College Admissions Essays.

At the Pato Loco, a local bar where stories flow as freely as the drinks, they meet Mama, the blind seventy-two-year-old co-owner of the place; her partner Mary, Willa’s sister, a bartender and installation artist; Richie, the aging hippie whose words are few but weighty; and a whole cast of unforgettable characters who will answer questions like:
  • What is it really like to live in another country?
  • How important is it to learn the local language?
  • How does a tight-knit community face the pressure of development?
  • Can you survive dengue—and would you want to?
  • Oh, and how do you perform CPR on a fish?

At thirty-two, Laurie outgrows her sleepy beach town and moves to the epicenter of the anything-goes eighties: Los Angeles. There, she befriends a teenage wizard and a Russian defector. She enrolls in a Hogwarts-style psychic college. She gets a job at a hilltop Hindu convent, where she considers taking her monastic vows. She dates an Indian guru and shares heart-to-heart conversations with a Catholic priest.

But it is only when her home nearly burns to the ground that Laurie finds what she is looking for: her true calling. Reading passages from a cache of 300 old diaries that were spared by the flames, Laurie locates clues planted in her past and gradually comes to a realization: She must let go of the conventional, “white-picket fence” marital vow she has sought for decades, and instead must fashion an entirely different kind of vow for herself.

With this knowledge in hand, Laurie sets about fulfilling her sacred contract. In turn, she experiences for the first time an intense rightness—a sense that this is how her life is meant to be.]]> 13 02 Laurie Collister is a counselor, journalist, and debut memoirist.

Lost souls come in all forms—some walk on two legs, others on four.

Navigating loneliness and loss is a natural part of growing older, but it’s never easy. In King the Wonder Dog, this journey becomes more bearable for a group of men and women when their interactions with the dogs and cats that share their lives help them discover a deeper understanding of themselves.

A woman whose dog is stolen from her meets a surprising ally who helps get him back. An artist who survives a drive-by shooting is brought a mysterious trinket by the cat he saved from a lonely life. A man in a troubled marriage begins drawing a graphic novel starring his dog as his fierce protector, and it consoles him. 

A poignant collection filled with warmth, heart, and quiet moments of reflection, King the Wonder Dog explores the nuances of companionship, the beauty of second chances, and the ways we rescue each other when we least expect it. For anyone who has ever found comfort in the presence of a loyal pet, these stories are a reminder that love—no matter where it comes from—has the power to change everything.]]> 13 02 Eleanor Lerman is the author of award-winning collections of poetry, short stories, and novels.

“. . . one of the best short story collections I have ever read. . . . The authenticity of this collection is what makes it a unique and exceptional read.”—Manhattan Book Review

Praise for The Stargazer’s Embassy: 

“This work is remarkably hard to put down. Lerman innately understands how to build tension and suspense while still maintaining coherent plot and dialogue. Fun bits of foreshadowing also set the book up for a second or third read, with something new to be discovered each time.”—Foreword Reviews

Praise for Eleanor Lerman's Our Post-Soviet History Unfolds:

“Eleanor Lerman’s poems have sociological savvy, philosophical rue, historical recognition, and vernacular resilience. They sing a song that is bravely gloomy, but they sing it with a fierce and earned dignity.”—Tony Hoagland, poet and recipient of the  Poetry Foundation’s Mark Twain Award

Praise for Eleanor Lerman’s Slim Blue Universe: 

“Lerman’s poems pulsate on the page; she writes in a refreshingly triumphant and celebratory tone while remaining unflinchingly honest.”—Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Armed Love: 

“Eleanor Lerman's first book of poetry is an astonishing accomplishment. Hallucinatory, yet intimately in touch with their sources, her poems focus on homosexuality and insanity, cruelty and degradation, bitterness and terror, in a Manhattan demimonde where people react to each other in violent need because they no longer have any choice or even want a choice, accepting, embracing a survival beyond desire, beyond reason.”—Wesleyan Poetry Series

Praise for Watkins Glen: 

"It's not often one gets to luxuriate in such beautiful prose. Watkins Glen examines the confusions of aging and regret, but also the compelling bonds of family and shared history, however complex and uncertain, and ultimately one of the pure joys life has to offer.”—Chris Knopf, Nero Award–winning author of Dead Anyway

After taking her last college course in Buenos Aires, she cashes in her return flight ticket and refuses to go home, erroneously believing that her grief will subside if she avoids her family. Narrating in her own grief-stricken voice, Leonie travels across Argentina, makes friends, and falls in love.

I enjoyed reading this book so much and highly recommend it to all romance fans out there.”—Readers’ Favorite, 5-star review]]> 08 02 winkle of Doubt is a masterpiece.”—Laurel Richardson, author of Lone Twin

“There is so much beauty in Twinkle of Doubt that stayed with me long after I read the last page: the beauty of our good friends, of healing, of real and steady love, of life’s experiences wonderfully told. I cannot wait for the next Celestial Bodies Romance; I’m so hungry for more.”—Alexandra Lasczik, coauthor of Walking with A/r/tography

“Leavy demonstrates how the residue of the past can reappear in—and sometimes even haunt—present relationships and future ambitions. A vibrant portrayal of insecurity, pain, self-disclosure, healing, and hope; a timely tale of relational time.”—Tony E. Adams, author of Narrating the Closet

“Twinkle of Doubt is a testament to the humanity in our lives—the joys of love, friendship, and laughter, as well as the challenges of trauma and life-changing events. It held my heart. You, too, will cherish this novel for all that it holds, for all that it teaches and inspires. The must-read book of the year. Highly recommended.”—Jessie Voigts, PhD, founder of Wandering Educators

“Sometimes, enormous threats from the outside wind up feeling small in comparison to what we have already faced within ourselves. With Twinkle of Doubt, Leavy consistently illustrates this essential truth of trauma recovery while delivering laughs and zingers aplenty. In a world where wit is often an underappreciated weapon, this tightly crafted sequel to Shooting Stars Above sparkles brightly and pierces straight to the heart.”—Alexandra “Xan” Nowakowski, coauthor of Other People’s Oysters

“Tess and Jack show us how love of self is what we need to heal and find our strength. Once again, we find Tess struggling with dark shadows until the light of love shines through. Love is like stardust that scatters light into our dark places, illuminating a better path. I cannot wait for the next Celestial Bodies Romance.”—Sandra L. Faulkner, author of Poetic Inquiry: Craft, Method and Practice

“Tess Lee’s mantra is to transform the darkness into light, but we all have doubts that hold us hostage. I love these characters. Twinkle of Doubt is a captivating read. I highly recommend this novel for pleasure or in your book club.”—Jessica Smartt Gullion, author of October Birds

“Twinkle of Doubt is contemporary literature at its very best, one that hides its lessons inside perfectly baked cookies that leave you feeling better about the world and the people in it.”—U. Melissa Anyiwo, editor of Gender Warriors

“We could all learn a lot about compassion from Tess Lee. Twinkle of Doubt is not just a page-turning sequel for those desperately hoping to spend more time with Tess and her loved ones; it is also a stunning example of love, compassion, empathy, and meaningful relationships that will make you cry and laugh out loud while reminding you about the importance of those you hold dear.”—J. E. Sumerau, author of Transmission

“Tess and Jack explore their greatest hopes and deepest dreads, struggling to be defined by their gifts and not their wounds. A fast-moving love story that will have you turning pages until you’ve read the whole book in one sitting. A must-read.”—Eve Spangler, Associate Professor of Sociology, Boston College

“Patricia Leavy’s romantic psychological thriller Twinkle of Doubt peels back the layers of scars caused by childhood trauma and gives readers a twinkle of hope that one can overcome the worst of the worst. As a clinician, it is difficult to explain the pain that trauma deposits on a soul, and the residue of that pain that lingers many years later. This healing story has made an indelible mark on my soul.”—Renita M. Davis, LICSW, PIP, creatrix at Illuminated Expressions, LLC

“For two decades, author Patricia Leavy has assembled a treasure chest of books that use storytelling to demonstrate the promise and peril of human existence and connection. Twinkle of Doubt is no exception. It is an impressive story that will compel readers to reconsider their own lives and the relational bonds they maintain (or don’t) with others.”—Keith Berry, coauthor of Living Sexuality]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/fce93627-ecc7-4d4f-afa1-b2fa00237f73 01 She Writes Press SIMO978 She Writes Press 01 01 She Writes Press SIMO978 She Writes Press 04 20260428 01 AU NZ 01 8.5 in 01 215.9 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 08 0.463 lb 08 7.408 oz 08 210.01 gr 27 15 9798896361336 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20260428 32 02 34.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 34.99 0.00 20260125 02 39.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260125 She Writes Press AU 01 20260428 9798897100682 02 03 9798897100682 14 19798897100689 15 9798897100682 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Inheritance</TitleText> 01 243520981 1 A01 Jane Park Park , Jane Jane Park Jane Park is a second-generation Korean Canadian writer.

Anne Kim is a lawyer in New York, her success built on forgetting the past. When her father dies, she returns to Edmonton for the funeral and is shocked to discover he was from North Korea and left his brother behind.

As she reads the undelivered letters her father wrote to his brother about life in Canada, she is transported back to her childhood in the 1980s and 90s. She recalls the struggles her parents faced as immigrants who ran a grocery store in a rural prairie town. Anne and her brother, Charles, felt the weight of their father’s expectations: Anne was driven to excel and overachieve, whereas Charles rebelled, determined to pursue his own dreams. His rebellion created a rift that culminated in a devastating act, irrevocably shattering their family and leaving Anne overwhelmed by an inescapable guilt.

Inheritance explores the immigrant experience, the sacrifices made by both parents and children, and how trauma transfers to the next generation. As Anne journeys to the past, she emerges to finally define life on her own terms, and her story will resonate long after the final page.]]> 13 02 Jane Park is a second-generation Korean Canadian writer.

Hyderabad Days is a tender, humorous, and deeply nostalgic memoir of childhood in 1980s–90s middle-class India, told through the eyes of a boy growing up in a Panjagutta colony. With vivid storytelling and a cast of unforgettable characters — from cricketing legends of the lane to sari-clad sisters who led in silence — this collection of slice-of-life chapters paints a world of shared TVs, Gold Spot bottles, kirana-store diplomacy, and friendships that defied caste, class, and religion.

But this is more than just a return to dusty lanes and colony cricket. It is also the story of how those chaotic, joy-soaked years forged the instincts of an engineer and, later, the perspective of a leader. The resourcefulness of stretching ten rupees for a cricket ball became the foundation for innovation. The diplomacy of settling gully cricket disputes became a lesson in mediation. The solidarity of colony life became the bedrock of resilience and humanity that guided a career spanning global teams and glass-walled conference rooms.

Written by a senior technology executive looking back on the roots that shaped both his childhood and his leadership, Hyderabad Days is a heartfelt tribute to a way of life that has all but vanished — a time when childhood was local, laughter was communal, and every setback or success carried the quiet lessons of character.

For fans of: R.K. Narayan, Ruskin Bond, Sudha Murty — and, in its own way, The Soul of a New Machine — blending nostalgia with the blueprint of how engineers and leaders are made.]]> 13 02
