Drawing on oral history interviews and archival research across Australia, the United Kingdom and Sri Lanka, the book explores how war, displacement and resettlement are lived and remembered across generations and borders.

What happens when people carry stories that states have tried to erase, silence and distort? The voices of Tamil refugees reveal how persecution, loss, belonging and survival shape personal identity and collective history. Author Niro Kandasamy travels the long roots of Tamil marginalisation in Sri Lanka, while also showing how refugees encounter new forms of exclusion from the places in which they sought safety.

The book offers an urgent account of how memory becomes a form of resistance, of how remembering is not only an act of reflection but a way for refugees to preserve culture and dignity, forge belonging and challenge the political forces that seek to redefine them.

Refugee Memory as Resistance highlights the power of storytelling to reclaim what history has tried to silence.

How should we best spend our days?

Book of Hours is a stunning timepiece crafted by some of Australia's foremost writers and artists.

It is a meditation on the light and dark of a single day and a provocation on the urgencies of our times. How much time do we have left? And how is our current moment connected to the past and future?

Co-edited by Emily Floyd, Chloe Hooper and Nam Le, this book-as-object features contributions from writers Anna Krien, Sarah Holland-Batt, S Shakthidharan and Maria Tumarkin, alongside artists Vincent Namatjira OAM, Clare Britton, Hiromi Tango, Tjungkara Ken, Brook Andrew and Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran.

By turns sacred, secular, contemplative, profane, subversive and personal, Book of Hours marks this Australian era for those now and in the future.

How can local connections to place and past generations strengthen our cultural, political and economic futures globally?

Indigenous Knowledge: Global Perspectives brings together leading scholars from Australia and the Asia-Pacific to explore how Indigenous knowledge tackles common challenges in governance and research, environmental sustainability and cultural diversity.

Contributors reveal how Indigenous knowledge, while distinct, can inform new collaborations that respect and build on local wisdom and initiative, sparking understandings of identity and place that are often overlooked in mainstream scholarship.

This book ignites insightful conversations, opens new ways of understanding Indigenous knowledge, and honours the richness and resilience of global Indigenous traditions.

It can disrupt every part of how you live. But pain is not predestined.

The usual trajectory of modern healthcare—a labyrinth of appointments that too often ends in pills or surgery—is not working. It’s confusing, costly, and time-consuming. It’s disempowering. And the challenges only amplify as we age.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You don’t have to accept the myth that pain is an inevitable consequence of aging. You can reclaim power over your health and performance by learning how to care for your fascia system—the connective tissue throughout your body that encases and connects your muscles, organs, bones, nerves, and joints.

As Western medicine is just now waking up to the benefits of caring for your fascia, Eastern medical traditions have long understood the importance of the body’s “energy lines” to physical and mental well-being—known as nadi lines in Ayurvedic medicine and chi lines in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Modern research shows that these energy pathways closely mirror the bands of fascia that run through the human body. Fascia is now being recognized as the body’s “new organ” which plays a central role in pain, movement, stress, disease, and long-term resilience.

In Power Over Pain, Sytera Field, a body mechanics and movement expert, introduces her fascia-based system for stress reduction, pain relief, and mobility: The Nadi Method. For more than 25 years, Field has helped thousands of people—from elite athletes to high-powered executives—learn how to communicate with their nervous system by working with their fascia.

Through fascia fitness, you can take back control. You can, at any age, grow stronger, recover faster, and improve performance and longevity—on your terms.]]> 13 02

From Han Chinese water management to Xiongnu drinking vessels, from Hittite royal imagery to Teotihuacan animal sacrifices, from Andean anti-imperial resistance to ritual rebirth in Travancore, the case studies reveal how materials and metaphysics intertwined to both enable and constrain imperial ambitions. The contributors examine how assemblages of artifacts, resources, animals, and landscapes actively shaped power relations across diverse imperial formations, while sometimes facilitating resistance to them. Moving beyond conventional political histories, the volume illuminates how things helped constitute imperial authority. In examining these material-political assemblages, the authors provide new theoretical frameworks for understanding empire-building as an emergent process involving both human and non-human actors, while raising crucial questions about archaeology’s ethical obligations in studying imperial power.]]> 13 02 Tamara L.

Jacques Fux, Brazil’s answer to Philip Roth, offers a remarkably original and entertaining work of autofiction that is essential reading for those interested in the Jewish experience in Latin America.

Winner of Brazil’s prestigious São Paulo Prize, Jacques Fux’s brilliant literary debut novel unveils an outrageously entertaining Portrait of the Artist as a Young Schlemiel. Antitherapies relates the life journey of a young Jewish man coming of age in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from his sensitive childhood and the primal indignation of circumcision, through awkward adolescence, and up to early adulthood and his decision to become a writer. Its peevish protagonist sees Jewishness in general as a festive carnival of irritations. The sources of his joy as well as his misery include his mother’s overbearing love; the Nazis, who never really left the stage after their defeat in 1945; his absurdly high IQ; and his grappling with the perpetual tension between cultural assimilation and the preservation of his Jewish identity and heritage.

Told through twenty-one playful “anti-therapeutic” sessions, the narrator summons myriad remembrances of things past, chronicling how he carefully considered and then ultimately rejected an assortment of possible life paths: astrophysicist, delinquent, clairvoyant, forger, hairdresser, logician, charlatan, and mathematician, among others. Fux masterfully integrates poetry, humor, magical realism, and a host of literary allusions—including Borges, Pessoa, Joyce, Primo Levi, Georges Perec, and Phillip Roth—to create a delightfully rich and original work of autofiction.]]> 13 02 Jacques Fux is a Brazilian writer and mathematician.

Pioneering Black journalist Wallace Terry risked his life on the battlefield writing for Time magazine during the Vietnam War. While in Vietnam, he captured the voices and experiences of Black soldiers and used the insights he gained to produce Bloods: An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans. The book remains a classic reflection of a war that fractured US society and cost the lives of nearly fifty-eight thousand Americans.

Before risking his life on the front lines, Terry became deeply involved in reporting about the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s in the United States. “It was a story that I passionately cared for because it was going to affect me, my family, my children, and generations of Black people to come,” said Terry. Working for the Washington Post, he wrote the first newspaper series about the Nation of Islam, during which he interacted with Malcolm X, who sheltered him from harm when his stories upset some members of the movement. He also grew close to those who sacrificed their lives in the struggle for equality, including Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King Jr., who became godfather to Terry’s eldest son. Making civil rights his focus gave him the opportunity to report on such seminal events as the Birmingham campaign, the March on Washington, and the Selma to Montgomery marches.

During his two years covering the Vietnam War, Terry traveled overseas to conduct numerous interviews with Black fighting men—soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines—that he later used as the basis for Bloods. He sought with his work to topple the conviction that “white soldiers are invincible and black soldiers are invisible.” Terry faced numerous challenges, including rejections from publishers who believed the public did not want to read about Black veterans from the conflict. Finally published in 1984, Bloods became a bestseller and remains a landmark work of military and oral history.

Boomhower has written the first-ever biography of one of the first Black national correspondents to be hired in the overwhelmingly white mainstream media, a reporter whose name belongs with the greats in American journalism. Wallace Terry lived a life filled with danger and betrayal, scoops and cover-ups, while immersing himself in events that changed the course of US history.]]> 13 02 Ray E.

Washington, DC, May 1967

It had been two years since the US Marines stormed ashore at Da Nang, South Vietnam, marking the first major deployment of American combat forces in the conflict in Southeast Asia. The war was “consuming the White House the way civil rights once did,” noted Wallace H. Terry, the first Black correspondent working for Time, the nation’s leading newsweekly.

Terry had an idea. Why not, he asked Richard M. Clurman, the magazine’s chief of correspondents, send a reporter to survey the contributions made by Black soldiers putting their lives on the line fighting the Communists? “I do not have in my mind going myself,” Terry recalled. “This could be dangerous.” Who would take care of his wife, Janice, and their three children if he never returned?

Clurman did the unexpected and asked Terry to tackle the assignment. Because it would be for only a brief time, Terry agreed to go. After all, he reasoned, one month did not appear to be “enough time to get killed.”

Despite his initial bravado, Wally Terry could not help but think about the worst that could happen to him in Vietnam. He sat down at a typewriter and produced a heartfelt goodbye letter for Janice. It read:

If anything happens to me, and I do not come back to you, know always that I love you more than life. Take good care of our babies, Little Wally, Lisa Victoria and David Christopher (I love to hear the ring of their names), for they are me and they are you. Give them what money cannot buy, and that is the love which we have shared and always will together. Let their lives grow straight just as our love did. And let them remember that their father is but one small part of the world which their mother gave them. For more of what life has given to me has been their mother. . . . My much better self. I love you to distraction. I always have, my darling, and I always will. Life and death are thus as one. A kiss for wife and babies from papa san.

Terry returned home safe and sound. During his time in Vietnam, he proved to his superiors at the magazine that he would not flinch at witnessing the horrors of war. When Clurman needed a correspondent he could count on when an opening occurred in Time’s Saigon bureau, he again turned to Terry, who accepted the assignment. News about the Vietnam War, Terry noted, had become “the only story to drive civil rights from the front pages.”

This time, however, he did not travel alone. Janice and their three children lived in Singapore while he worked in Saigon and saw them when he could. Janice also visited her husband from time to time. At the hotel in Singapore, its manager had handed Terry a letter he had been holding for him. Reading it, Terry learned that the Black officer who had served as his guide on his last trip to Vietnam had been killed in action; he had only forty-eight days left on his tour of duty.

Terry had discovered a valuable lesson about the deadly reality of war: Anything could happen to anybody at any time. “In Vietnam, you could walk around the corner in the street and get killed. The war was, really, in effect, everywhere,” he said.

Incoming

Embassy Hotel, Saigon, South Vietnam, 1968

It had been an exhausting and traumatic day for Time correspondent Wallace Terry. Trying to get some rest in his hotel room, he was startled upright in his bed, gasping for air. He finally managed to get to sleep but bolted awake, his body wracked with chest pains. Too frightened to let himself fall back to sleep, his first thought was to seek help from John Cantwell, his Time colleague, whose room was on the floor above. Terry, however, realized that Cantwell was not there. He was in Hong Kong visiting his wife and children.

Another name popped up in Terry’s mind: Smitty, who was also staying at the hotel. If anyone could help, he could. The three-hundred-pound wheeler-dealer former army medic had left military service but stayed in Vietnam to provide his expertise to the US Agency for International Development.

“He’d know if I were having a heart attack, I thought, with some confidence,” Terry remembered.

After banging on Smitty’s door, a voice thundered at him: “Goddam Wally. What the hell you want at this hour?”

Terry tried to explain.

“What you eat today?” Smitty asked.

“Not much of anything,” Terry responded.

“Hmm. Well, what were you doin’? Where’d they send ya’?”

Terry told Smitty about flying four missions with the Vietnamese air force, including streaking at treetop level to strike enemy positions, narrowly avoiding midair collisions because the pilots insisted on flying at the same altitude, and getting lost over the Mekong Delta with no view of the ground below.

Smitty laughed. He informed the reporter there was nothing to worry about. The explanation was simple.

As an infant, Thao Ha was evacuated on one of the last flights out of Saigon during the fall of the city in April 1975. Like the other lucky few—and the thousands who came after—she and her family found sanctuary in America. Raised in the growing Vietnamese community in Houston, she did all the things American kids of the ’80s and ’90s did—but she also ran with a Vietnamese street gang. By her early twenties she’d picked fights with other girls who threatened her sister, transported a fugitive across county lines, and been shot as a bystander in a pool-hall fracas turned violent. But the greatest shock came when her boyfriend, Vu, the love of her early life, took the rap for a drive-by shooting and went to prison for sixty years.

Enough was enough. Thao got serious about school and majored in sociology under the mentorship of an inspiring professor. She went on to earn a PhD and a tenured professorship at Mira Costa College in Oceanside, California.
But as William Faulkner said, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
The decades of her professional success brought marriages, divorces, failed relationships, and family trauma. But one person stayed with her through it all. Like a still-small flame far out on the landscape, the figure of Vu was somehow always with her. Sentenced to sixty years, Vu was locked up in the infamous Beto Unit, the most violent maximum-security prison in Texas. Nicknamed “the gladiator unit,” it is a place where inmates must be prepared to fight for status and for their very survival. Nearly twenty years into his sentence, Thao and Vu reconnected.

Three years after that, he was dead.

Love Letters to the Dirty South is a memoir about what it means to love, long for, and lose someone incarcerated. A testament to lifelong love, it is also an unflinching depiction of prison culture, a loving portrait of family life in the Vietnamese diaspora community, and a counternarrative to the typical immigrant’s story. As a Vietnamese refugee and sociologist, Thao Ha deftly explores refugee trauma, mass incarceration, and prison injustice, and she shows how unconditional love attempts to navigate, resist, and thwart a dehumanizing system. In this stunning debut, she tells her story of reckless youth, love reclaimed and tragically lost, and the power of words to transcend boundaries with unflinching honesty, insight, and conviction.]]> 13 02 Thao Hà is a professor at MiraCosta College.

My first love, Vu, once told me, “We don’t get to choose the war, only the wounds we carry from it.” Vu and I fell in love when we were barely adults, coming of age in a country that expected Vietnamese refugees to be grateful, to keep our heads down, and to survive without making a sound. But we were rowdy, unruly, and reckless. Houston heat bore us down, the air was thick with cigarette smoke, and our mothers’ commanding voices trailed behind us as we both ran wild because it was the only kind of freedom we knew. When we bled or made others bleed, it conferred honor because it was some kind of twisted proof we had control over our own lives. Then Vu got locked up and became a ghost in the system. Almost two decades later, we reunited through the mail. His ID was a six-digit number on a prison roster, his perfect penmanship was on college-ruled paper, and his sweet, raspy voice came through a staticky phone. I had dreams of pressing my palm to the plexiglass, seeing his full lips smirking flirtatiously and his milky smooth skin glowing, imagining I could still touch the boy I once loved before the prison system swallowed him whole.

We met on a warm September night in 1992, the kind of night that carried the quiet buzz of summer slipping away. Looking back, I see it for what it was—a lesson in how love can burn fast and fleeting yet carve itself so deep it never really leaves. It happened at Fu Kim, a dim sum joint by day and an after-hours karaoke bar by night. Inside, the air was filled with cigarette smoke and street war stories. The Park Place Boyz, a Houston Vietnamese gang straight from the cracked asphalt of the inner city, greeted me with slow, deliberate nods. Not out of politeness, but respect, a currency I carried by blood. My dad’s youngest brother was their leader. Across the room, the Southwest crew spread out like a kingdom of mythical creatures. Another nod, another unspoken gesture of recognition. I dated one of their guys who had once run underground gambling dens for the Flying Dragons, a notorious Chinese gang from New York City.

I was small, barely above five feet tall, but power isn’t always in size. It’s in the way you hold yourself, in the names stitched to your history, in the way no one asks twice when you walk through the door.

My sister’s boyfriend, Doughboy, greeted us at the door and led us through the haze to our crew—the North Chink Posse (NCP). We were three tables deep, each table littered with emerald Heineken bottles sweating on to the plastic tabletops, ashtrays spilling over like offerings to the ancestors. Doughboy introduced us to a few new faces, and that’s when I saw him. Vu. I felt it the moment his eyes found mine. It was a slow pull, like a song I already knew. His coy smile, so at odds with his bad-boy swagger, held my gaze. Thick, dark hair framed his face. His bangs fell over his eyes just enough to make you want to brush them back. His skin was smooth and pale in the low light, like something untouched. His eyes were bright, full of mischief, and his broad shoulders filled out his white V-neck T-shirt in all the right ways. But it was his lips I couldn’t stop looking at. They were full, almost too pretty, made even more dangerous by the lit Marlboro Red dangling lazily from them. The orange ember glowed with a slow burn, and my insides did the same.

I smirked, and he caught it. His boys noticed, too, their laughter curling through the smoke, nudging at the space between us. The one next to him, Rooster, grinned, then stood, flashing a quick hand signal for me to take his seat. I slid in, close enough to catch the scent of cologne clinging to his shirt. We made small talk, learning bits and pieces about each other. His family was from the neighborhood of Granada on the north side of Houston, while I lived in South Belt on the opposite end of the city. He dropped out of high school, and I was a freshman in college. I was into sports; he was into sports betting. On paper, we had little in common, but none of that seemed to matter. By the end of the night, we had traded two serenades and a slow dance, our bodies folding into the music, swaying under the amber haze of the last-call song. The kind of song that lingers in the bones, that makes you forget what came before and what waits after. When the lights came up, reality flickered back in, but it was too late. I was already his, caught in the quiet gravity of something I didn’t have a name for yet.]]> 08 02 Daniel A.

Robert Oppenheimer’s revolutionary “gadget” that ushered the world into the Atomic Age.

Historians continually probe archives, museums, libraries, and less conventional sources in search of new ways to understand and explore the past. A History of New Mexico in 100 Objects will, for the first time, explore New Mexico’s remarkable history through the lens of material objects.

Distinguished historian Richard Melzer takes readers on a marvelous journey through New Mexico’s past, telling the story of New Mexico by way of fascinating objects that reflect the state’s ethnic, cultural, social, economic, and political history. Among the artifacts included are:
  • a Mimbres ceramic pot
  • a turquoise carving from Chaco Canyon
  • Don Juan de Oñate’s inscription at El Morro
  • healing soil from Chimayó
  • a steamer trunk carried along the Santa Fe Trail
  • Geronimo’s headdress
  • Pat Garrett’s Colt revolver used to kill Billy the Kid
  • the Loretto Chapel’s “Miracle Staircase”
  • Georgia O’Keeffe’s bighorn sheep skull
  • Ernie Pyle’s typewriter
  • a World War II Navajo code talker’s radio receiver
  • “the Gadget” developed by the Manhattan Project and tested at Trinity Site
  • “Dave’s Dream” lowrider

A foreword by Alicia Romero, head curator of the Albuquerque Museum, offers insight into how objects are used in the study of history.

Together, the amazing stories of these one hundred objects offer a one-of-a-kind group portrait of the Land of Enchantment.]]> 13 02 Richard Melzer is a Regents’ Professor emeritus of history at the University of New Mexico’s Valencia campus.

Dear Kweku, I am still here, writing to you again from the Obroni land. Please, will you accept this cassette recording letter from me?

It is the late 1970s in London, and having left her small village in Ghana, Adwoa is writing to her friend Kweku who is back home. She records these letters onto cassette tapes, posting them abroad to tell him all about her new life abroad and about her hopes and dreams. Though Adwoa faces hardships in London, she also makes friends and is hopeful about the future. But it feels like Adwoa is keeping a secret, something that she can't confess to her friend – and why doesn’t Kweku write back?

Best friends since university, Keeley and Grace bonded over their love of 19th century romance classics, but their lives have taken very different paths. While Keeley became the curator of Juniper Cottage, home of forgotten author Eliza Norton, Grace settled into family life. Now, with her son off in Australia and an empty nest ahead of her, Grace takes a part-time job at Santa’s Secret, a winter wonderland warehouse of all things Christmas, where the owner’s grumpy son Raff proves an unwelcome distraction.

Meanwhile, Keeley is horrified when the trustees hire brash social media expert Xander Jones to modernise Eliza’s image. But as Christmas approaches and the village of Freezy Tye competes to retain its title as Britain’s Most Christmassy Village, Keeley and Grace both find themselves grappling with heartache, change and unexpected attraction.

When Edie O’Sullivan receives an invitation from an old friend to spend a pre-Christmas break in the picturesque town of Rye, she jumps at the chance to escape - and reconnect. But when she arrives with her wife, Riga, it quickly becomes clear this is no festive getaway.

Edie hasn’t been invited for comfort, but for help.

Four days earlier, her friend’s daughter Rebecca - the town crier - received an unusual gift: a handcrafted wooden advent calendar shaped like Rye itself. At first, it seemed like a charming curiosity, part of her public role. Then, on December 1st, a burglary at 1 Church Square. December 2nd, an ABH at 2 Martello Close. December 3rd, a GBH at 3 Allendale Drive.

Each door opened. Each crime escalating.

Now Rebecca is certain the calendar is counting down to something far worse - and she’s turned to the only person she believes can stop it.

With Christmas approaching and the body count rising, Edie must decipher the deadly pattern before the final door is opened.]]> 13 02 Alexandra (A. K.)

That was all there was, all I could say, whether or not it was enough. ‘Weren’t we? Weren’t we having such a good time?’

A woman suffering an extreme allergic reaction to a yoga mat returns to the UK to give a reading at her estranged best friend’s wedding; a corporate new starter desperately tries to persuade her colleague to accept that his online girlfriend doesn’t exist; a group of student activists stage an artful protest against the demolition of a tower block; a once inseparable friendship group confront the reason they drifted; and a self-taught pianist whose wife is six months pregnant decides she must travel to Warsaw to listen to Chopin’s heart.

In The Good Time, Nell Stevens introduces us to characters teetering on the edge of self-knowledge, unveiling the complexities of their inner worlds with empathy and humour.

Wry, precise and full of wisdom, these stories ask what it means to have a good time, and what happens when the good times end.

The Original

'What a bewitching book this is. A sinuous, thrilling meditation on fakes and forgers, with echoes of Daphne du Maurier and Sarah Waters and an audacity that is totally original to Nell herself' Olivia Laing, author of THE GARDEN AGAINST TIME

‘Deliciously engaging and wildly intelligent. I adored this novel about art, authenticity and desire and am a devoted fan of Nell Stevens’ Aysegül Savas, author of THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS

‘A delightful, playful puzzle of a novel, and a brilliant twist on the nineteenth century orphan-makes-good story. THE ORIGINAL asks whether, sometimes, faking it is the right thing to do' Claire Fuller, author of UNSETTLED GROUND

‘A marvellously inventive and perfectly forged novel that poses a mischievous question: what role does likeness play in love? The ghosts of Oscar Wilde and Wilkie Collins stalk these pages, whether they know it or not’  Eleanor Catton, author of Birnam Wood

‘A wonderful novel about identity, creativity, money and belonging. It’s so witty and propulsive you will forget how brilliantly constructed it is, this tale that brims with the beauty of art, of how to triumph in a difficult world’ Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist

'Intricate, endlessly intriguing... The reader is kept guessing until the very end... as Stevens deftly raises the stakes, the pages seem to turn themselves. The narrative captivates intellectually, too, probing questions of authenticity, imitation, and self-realisation, in love and in art. The overall effect is of an author boldly stepping out on her own, pursuing themes that were hers all along.' Observer

‘Casually magisterial… Stevens is showing herself to be that rare thing: a writer who we can think alongside, even while she’s making things up' Lara Feigel, Guardian (book of the day)

‘Immaculate in structure, sure-footed in tone and propelled forward by a rising tide of apprehension, the novel is a captivatingly strange masterpiece of Victorian pastiche. It puts Stevens in the class of Sarah Waters and even du Maurier herself as a sharp-witted fiction writer whose masterly technique and style are matched and sustained by a compelling gift for spinning a yarn’ Miranda Seymour, Financial Times
 

Briefly, A Delicious Life
‘A gorgeous, wildly seductive novel, shimmering with intelligence, humour and joy’  Sarah Waters

‘Electrifyingly beautiful, exhilaratingly clever’  Imogen Hermes Gowar

‘Like the best historical fiction it is playfully disingenuous... the whole book is radiant with life’  Financial Times

‘Nell Stevens’s hugely accomplished debut novel evokes a sense both of place and time with a confidence that augurs well for her future career’ Guardian

Mrs Gaskell & Me

‘Stevens is a very artful writer’  Rebecca Mead, The New Yorker

‘A truly lovely book – acutely observed and honest and melancholy’  Jessie Greengrass

Bleaker House

‘Perfect… as funny as it is poignant’ Lena Dunham ]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/8676d6fe-7a2b-46bb-834a-b3f40033bdb3 01 Scribner UK SIMO445 Scribner UK 01 01 Scribner UK SIMO445 Scribner UK 02 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 8.504 in 01 216 mm 02 5.315 in 02 135 mm 03 0.657 in 03 16.7 mm 06 15 9781398533431 27 15 9781398533424 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261110 02 35.00 AUD AU Z 0.00 35.00 0.00 20260719 02 39.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260719 Scribner UK AU 01 20261110 9781398536333 02 02 1398536334 03 9781398536333 14 19781398536330 15 9781398536333 11 BC B105 Paperback The Wycherleys <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Wycherleys 3</TitleText> 01 222380225 1 A01 Annaliese Avery Avery, Annaliese Annaliese Avery 01 eng 432 00 432 03 JUV000000 YFB 2.1 20 Romantasy; Romantic fantasy; YA romance; Regency; Arthurian; Enemies to lovers; witches; young adult; romance; romantic; sexual tension; kiss; kissing; rivals to lovers; opposites attract; star crossed; magic; magical; elite; high society; kingdom; swoon-worthy; debutante; cursed; arch enemy; family; glamour; family secrets; generational curses; broomstick; perfect match; balls; ballgowns; dark forces 21 E3N79 93 YFHR 98 5AQ 01 02 17 03 14 04 99 01 02 Fall head over broomstick in love with this swoon-worthy, witchy romantic fantasy sequel, perfect for fans of Twin Crowns, Divine Rivals and Stephanie Garber.

Aurelia's curse may be the only thing that can save the kingdom and the magic . . . 

Praise for The Wycherleys

‘From the first perfect line, The Wycherleys had me hooked. It’s the perfect swoon-worthy fantasy-romance featuring everything I love: wonderfully drawn characters to fall and root for, an alternate history with ballgowns and broomsticks, curses, magic with a clever twist, and a world I’d love to visit.’ Dominique Valente, author of the Starfell series

'A fun, tense, enemies-to-lovers romance with magic and plenty of secrets. Nothing is as it seems. It had me gripped from the first page.' Zeena Gosrani, author of This Dark Heart
'I am utterly captivated by this addictive and swoony fantasy romance! Aurelia is brave, bold and wears her curse proudly. Jules is Mr Darcy for a new generation. They set the standard for courtship. If you're not committing felonies together, is it love?'

‘A stunning debut’ LIZ FENWICK

The Cornish coast. A handsome smuggler. A love story for the ages.

Isabel has always been a woman of mystery. As a child of four, she appeared on the Cornish shore, soaking wet, unable to speak. The villagers believed she was brought from the sea, the daughter of a spirit. 

Now, newly widowed, Isabel feels the ocean calling her to come back home.

And when Jack Carlyon, an injured smuggler, crosses her path, she is swept up into a love story that will test her courage, her reputation, and her heart. Jack plays a dangerous game, and there are those that would hang him if they knew what he was. Isabel fights to make sense of the magical pull of the ocean and wants to protect Jack – but at what cost?

She is a daughter of the sea. He is a man of the land. Can they overcome the odds to be together?]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/55bd3418-3a67-479c-b7c0-b3ef0035c42e 01 Simon & Schuster UK SIMO004 Simon & Schuster UK 01 01 Simon & Schuster UK SIMO004 Simon & Schuster UK 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 7.795 in 01 198 mm 02 5.118 in 02 130 mm 03 0.933 in 03 23.7 mm 27 15 9781398538269 06 15 9781398538245 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 02 29.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 29.99 0.00 20260719 02 34.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 34.99 0.00 20260719 Simon & Schuster UK AU 01 20261110 9781398538764 02 02 1398538760 03 9781398538764 14 19781398538761 15 9781398538764 11 BC B105 Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Falling for You</TitleText> <Subtitle>Your perfect Autumn read to cosy up with this Fall, from the bestselling author of Walking on Sunshine</Subtitle> 01 226267108 1 A01 Heidi Swain Swain, Heidi Heidi Swain Heidi Swain is a Sunday Times Top Ten best-selling author who writes feel good fiction for Simon & Schuster.

When Skylar Shawe moves to Nightingale Square in the heart of Norwich, she’s hoping for a fresh start and the chance to connect with the father she never knew. A break from the chaos of real life seems like the perfect way to catch her breath…until she meets Erik, the brooding but wildly handsome neighbour with a past he’s still trying to come to terms with.

Once a rugby hero, Erik Svensson now faces life on unfamiliar terrain after suffering a career-ending injury. Unsure of the man he’s become, he’s determined to live a peaceful life while he finds himself again. What he doesn’t expect is to find himself drawn to the new girl in Nightingale Square.

But sometimes, life – and love – has a way of sneaking up on you. As they navigate their new lives and their own troubles, they discover that healing isn’t just about moving on … it’s about letting someone in. And in each other, they might just find exactly what they didn’t know they were looking for...

Rome has crowned a new Empress, but the Gods are far from finished with her. 

Claudia’s rule is fragile from the moment it begins. Assassins stalk the palace, the Senate turns against her, and ancient deities manoeuvre for power. Forced into dangerous political alliances and a marriage she does not want, Claudia must hide both her doubts and her forbidden love for her fiercely loyal bodyguard, Gia. 

As rival claimants rise and divine war looms, Claudia is pushed to choose between authenticity and authority, love and survival. Every decision tightens the trap, and the cost of power may be higher than she can bear. 
  • Epic, dramatic and unapologetically queer, Empress, Goddess is a sapphic romantasy set in an alternate ancient Rome, where Goddesses scheme, Emperors fall and love is a dangerous act of defiance
  • Full of high-stakes fantasy politics, divine intrigue and slow-burn romance between powerful women
  • Perfect for fans of Powerless, Lore and Crescent City

‘[Nichol] has a marvellous eye for detail . . . this is history at its finest. Truly memorable' Daily Mirror

The Second World War was not only fought in the skies above Europe or on distant beaches. Between 1939 and 1945, Hitler’s aerial onslaught crashed into lives across the UK night after night, killing more than 60,000 civilians and leaving millions homeless.

For too long, ‘The Blitz’ – from the German ‘Blitzkrieg’ or lightning war – has been framed as a few desperate months between September 1940 and May 1941 that mainly affected London. In reality, the scope of the attack on the home front was far more widespread, and far more devastating. Now, John Nichol tells this supposedly familiar narrative – one of the most important events in British history – afresh.

Beginning with a search to understand his mother’s experiences of the blitz on Tyneside – drawing on fragments of memory and the unanswered questions she left behind – Nichol ranges outward to reveal a truly national history. From Dover to Glasgow, Cardiff to Manchester, he uncovers astonishing accounts of catastrophe and resilience. Of ‘ordinary’ men, women and children catapulted into harm’s way. Of heroic firefighters battling infernos, the unflinching bravery required to defuse unexploded bombs, families wiped out in an instant, communities left bereft by a single blast.

Using interviews with survivors, official records and eyewitness testimonies, Nichol gives voice to the unsung heroes who endured explosions, fire and fear, but found the courage to run towards danger. He brings the story up to date by speaking to people involved in similar situations: mass casualty events, the deadly blaze at Grenfell Tower, bomb disposal in modern warfare and individual acts of astonishing bravery. And as new military threats emerge, Nichol asks whether the country still has such resilience today.

At once gripping and compassionate, BLITZ is the definitive account of a nationwide struggle that shaped the course of the war and the spirit of a generation.

The book includes maps, colour endpapers, and two plate sections with 38 photos and archival images.

‘The story of a whole nation as only Nichol can write, BLITZ is a wonderful book perfectly anchored in the human experience’ Dr Robert Lyman MBE FRHistS, co-author of Victory to Defeat: The British Army 1918–40

‘An important book which takes the myth of the storybook Blitz Spirit and redefines it. Absolutely fantastic’ Professor Lucy Easthope, author of When the Dust Settles: Searching for Hope After Disaster

Translated by Philip Gabriel, the translator of The Travelling Cat Chronicles

The Night Library is no ordinary library.

Within it are found the rarest and most unusual collections – the books of deceased famous writers: 

the books they wrote
the books that inspired them
the books they loved

All Otaha Higuchi wants to do is work with books. However, the exhausting nature of her work at a chain bookstore, combined with her paltry salary and irritating manager quickly bring reality crashing down around her.

She is on the verge of quitting when she receives a message from somebody calling themselves ‘Seven Rainbows’, inviting her to apply for a job at a library with no name, a place referred to simply as ‘The Night Library’.

After successfully passing the interview, Otaha arrives at The Night Library and her sunny personality immediately earns her comparisons with Anne of Green Gables. For the very first time she feels she has found her place in the world. As well as a treasure trove of books, the library houses a group of likeminded literary misfits, including a legendary chef who prepares incredible meals for the library’s employees at the end of each day.

Together they embark on a series of bookish adventures. But when the library’s mysterious owner decides to temporarily close the library, Otaha and her friends fear that it may not reopen and that the peace they have found there will be lost to them forever. 

Is their friendship and their faith in the value of books strong enough to save it? And what will remain if it isn’t?  

Dinner at the Night Library is a heartwarming literary mystery, filled with quirky characters, Japanese culture and the mouthwatering meals. It asks why books matter and offers a cheer of encouragement to everybody who believes they do. Ultimately, it is a paean to reading and the relevance of books through the ages—past, present, and future.

A researcher abroad in Rome eagerly awaits a visit from her long distance lover, only to find he is not the same man she remembers. An expat meets a childhood friend on a layover and is dismayed by her unexpected contentment. A newly pregnant woman considers the taboo of sharing the news too soon, but can't resist when an opportunity comes to patch up a damaged friendship.

Long Distance showcases Savas's devastating talent for the short story. Her shrewd encapsulations of contemporary life often centre on characters displaced more by choice than circumstance, characters both determined to install themselves in new lives and preoccupied with the people they've left behind.

‘A nuanced and original portrait’ - Literary Review

‘A richly detailed and clear-sighted account of Cavafy’s life and work’ - Spectator

'Melancholy and majesty. . . [an] extraordinary life story' - New Statesman

In this illuminating book, Peter Jeffreys and Gregory Jusdanis reveal Cavafy as a troubled, brilliant poet who sacrificed love for his art and changed the course of world poetry. Alexandrian Sphinx chronicles the extraordinary story of his family, the vicissitudes of their fortunes, and their eventual poverty when they left Egypt and moved to Liverpool, London and Istanbul. As the poet reached adulthood, his story centred on his beloved Alexandria, the city that nourished his imagination and became for him a metaphor of both his poetry and modern life. Deep archival research uncovers the poet’s relationships with his teenage companions, his friends of middle age, and the individuals whom in later life he enlisted in his steadfast pursuit of fame.

Alexandrian Sphinx tells not only of Cavafy’s life but of his work and his artistic journey, from his early poetic experiments to his startling reinvention in middle age, when he renounced much of what he had written and developed a radical new poetics. Erotic, philosophical, and linguistically suggestive, this widely imitated yet singular style is now recognized and revered as Cavafian.]]> 13 02 Peter Jeffreys is an Associate Professor of English at Suffolk University in Boston and has written, translated and edited a number of books on Cavafy: Eastern Questions: Hellenism and Orientalism in the Writings of E.

The Roman Goddesses have grown weary of the rule of Gods and men.
They seek to change the fortune of the world by backing a brilliant young woman.

When she wins the favour of Claudia – the beautiful daughter of the Emperor – her star begins to rise in the arena, but so does the risk to her life.
Together, the girls must battle conspiracies to overthrow the Empire, and their growing feelings for one another. Feelings the Goddesses had not planned on.

A scintillating and enchanting new series, perfect for fans of Powerless, Lore and Crescent City.

'Luna, Phoenix, Queen is a miracle of a book' Katie Kitamura, author of Audition

‘Luna, Phoenix, Queen breaks all the rules and makes its own. Gripping, heartbreaking, redemptive and a joy to read, Orringer has given readers a great gift. It will knock your socks off.’ Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less

Dava and Barr Pennington, professors at a Midwestern university, both harbour potent secrets. Fiction writing is his specialty, English literature is hers. But Dava is unhappy in their marriage and secretly in love with a colleague, Svetlana White, who teaches in the Russian Studies department; spurred by their complicated liaison, she spends her nights working on a novel about two women who run a domestic violence shelter in coastal Maine. Though she loves the work and the refuge it provides, the writing becomes increasingly difficult as her memory begins to fail; tests reveal that she’s suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s. After a precipitous decline, she moves to a memory-care facility in a neighbouring town. Soon afterward, her husband, alone in the house at night, discovers her hidden manuscript, which he reads with envy, and then with anger, as he extrapolates his wife’s affair from the relationship described in the novel’s pages. Over the next two years he rewrites the novel and publishes it as his own, to wide acclaim. But persistent feelings of guilt lead him to confess his theft to an unlikely party, who leads others to the truth.

Luna, Phoenix, Queen tells its tale of artistic and marital betrayal in a chorus of voices. We hear from Barr as he becomes obsessed with Luna, a horrifically injured dog at a local shelter; from Dava as she meets Svetlana for the first time, on a transatlantic flight to Dublin; from Milo, Dava’s son, as he hides in the woods with Naomi, Svetlana’s daughter; from Svetlana, experiencing the loss of a relationship that ended before it could come to fruition; from Evie, Pennington’s research assistant, who witnessed Dava’s last days at home with her husband; from James, the Penningtons’ younger son, who makes a startling discovery after his father’s death; and from Milo and Svetlana again, as they grieve the injustice of Pennington’s theft and confront the devastation of Dava’s disease.

In a narrative that spans four decades and four thousand miles, Luna, Phoenix, Queen illuminates the power of storytelling and explores the terror of losing the ability to make sense of our world. It is a cry of rage against our vulnerability and helplessness, an acknowledgement of the mysteries beneath the familiar surface of our world, and ultimately, if unexpectedly, a radical testament to love in its many forms.

Talented but consistently overlooked, Sophie has never been able to catch a break.

But this summer is different – she’s just earned herself a spot at the prestigious Blackwood Equestrian Camp.

Luke, the camp’s star jumper, is charming, wealthy and actually a very sweet boy at heart. His dad owns the Blackwood estate, so he’s always had it easy and never met a girl who doesn’t fall at his feet . . . until Sophie.

Scrappy Finley, a stable hand who works for the estate, has a talent for breaking in difficult horses. He’s brooding, rough around the edges and hiding a secret that could ruin him.

When a major riding competition is on the line, forcing them all to work together, Sophie must decide who really has her heart, and whether she’s willing to risk everything for love.]]> 13 02

Unreliable Boyfriend is a different kind of political memoir: a candid, deeply personal account of power, politics and globalisation from an unlikely insider – a 5-foot-1 journalist turned Deputy Prime Minister who now turns her reportorial eye on her own life, her battles with authoritarians and plutocrats and the fragile future of liberal democracy.

Before rising to the heights of Canadian politics, Chrystia Freeland was one of the first Western reporters to chronicle the rise of the Russian oligarchs in the 1990s. She spent decades reporting from Moscow, Kyiv, Washington, Beijing and beyond, exposing how global elites and authoritarian regimes exploited economic upheaval while hollowing out the lives of ordinary people.

Then she crossed into politics herself.

Inside Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, Freeland became one of the world’s most influential negotiators, helping broker trade agreements that united labour activists and business leaders, nationalists and globalists. At a moment of rising tariffs, economic anxiety and democratic instability, she offers a rare insider account of how deals are really made – and how coalitions fracture when governments fail to deliver for working people.

Part political thriller, part memoir, Unreliable Boyfriend is the story of a globe-trotting journalist who brought the lessons she learned covering dissidents and oligarchs into the halls of power – only to encounter a new generation of plutocrats, this time in the West itself.

Freed from the constraints of office, Freeland writes with unusual candour about leadership, ambition, compromise and betrayal. She reveals how power operates behind closed doors, how alliances are forged and broken, and why trade, security and democracy can no longer be separated. At a time when authoritarianism is resurging around the world, she argues that democracies must build new alliances strong enough to resist both foreign autocrats and homegrown oligarchs.

In the tradition of Barbara Ehrenreich, Naomi Klein and Samantha Power, Chrystia Freeland has written a searching and provocative account of life as both outsider and insider, journalist and politician, activist and policymaker – and as a Canadian who may understand America’s dangers, and possibilities, more clearly than many Americans themselves.]]> 13 02 Chrystia Freeland served as Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and Minister of Finance of Canada. She first gained international acclaim as a foreign correspondent and editor for the Financial Times and Reuters. Her first book, Sale of the Century, told the story of the struggle between reformers and oligarchs in 1990s Russia. Her book Plutocrats established her as a leading voice on global economic inequality. After over a decade in federal politics, including a pivotal role in renegotiating the USMCA, Freeland resigned from Parliament in early 2026. She has since served as a Resident Fellow at Harvard's Institute of Politics as an unpaid economic adviser to the Ukrainian government.

‘A thrilling new voice in crime fiction’ CHRIS CARTER

In the early hours, amongst the chaos of London’s morning commuters, a severed head is discovered on the Tube line, with a message – ‘I’m back.’

Former investigative journalist Janica is one of the first on the scene. Recognising the MO from a previous case and convinced that a serial killer is poised to strike again, she teams up with an online group dedicated to cracking unsolved crimes. Together they are determined to gather the evidence required to hunt the perpetrator down.

But it isn’t long before their target realises they’re onto him. As the murders escalate and terror spreads throughout the Underground, Janica finds herself caught up in an obsessive game of cat-and-mouse that’s about to take a terrifying step from the online world into real life. She will need all her wits to get into the mind of a monster . . . unless he finds her first.]]> 13 02 Alex Black studied criminology at university, an interest that continues to inspire their fiction.

Essential reading’ GUARDIAN

*

History matters, especially in Palestine.

In this essential account, historian Anne Irfan reveals the long-term roots of Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza. She examines six key moments in its history that provide vital context for the present day, beginning with Israel’s expulsion of the Palestinian people in 1948, when the Gaza region was truncated to a tiny ‘Strip’ of 141 square miles, through to Israel’s occupations, the first intifada and the rise of Hamas. Drawing on a decade of meticulous research, she cuts through the misinformation and conflicting narratives to tell a story that begins long before the Hamas-led attacks of October 7 and centres Gaza as a microcosm of the Palestinian struggle. Clear-sighted and compassionate, this is an account that foregrounds the voices of Palestinians of all walks of life, from farmers and teachers to poets and activists.

A Short History of the Gaza Strip is an indispensable primer for anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge of Palestine and the wider region.

A kingdom bathed in silence. And a princess who refuses to break.

As the king’s illegitimate daughter, Princess Mireille has spent her whole life scorned by the court, her fate never her own, even now as she’s forced into marriage with the infamous conqueror threatening her kingdom’s borders. She expects distance, perhaps even cold civility from the Blood King – not the unsettling pull of his attention.

Yet when their wedding descends into bloodshed, the man meant to be her escape becomes her captor, imprisoning her in her own dungeons. There, Mireille uncovers the truth of her father’s sins, discovering she's not alone beneath the castle. A voice calls from the cell beside her, a man as dangerous as he is alluring, offering a single thread of light in the darkness.  

Dragged into a brutal struggle for survival, Mireille is caught between two powerful beings that threaten to consume her entirely: one demanding obedience, and the other craving what little soul she has left.

But Mireille was not born to kneel.

A kingdom bathed in silence. And a princess who refuses to break.

When Princess Mireille is wed to a foreign king with cold eyes and colder intentions, she expects distance, perhaps cruelty, not chains. Kept imprisoned within her own kingdom’s walls, she learns her father’s past sins are not easily buried.

But neither is she.

As her world twists into something unrecognisable, Mireille finds herself caught between two powerful immortal beings – one who wants her obedience and one who wants what little soul she has left.

But Mireille was not born to kneel.

Avalon Academy rules: spy on your enemies, resist temptation, and try not to die in the process.

Bookseller Nia has saved up for years for her dream vacation: drinking champagne on a beach with her favorite books. But her dream turns into a nightmare when she’s kidnapped by a muscular, tattooed jerk of a fey named Raphael.

Yes, kidnapped.

It turns out Nia has a rare power that allows her to cross the magical barrier separating the human world from the feys’, making her an invaluable asset in the fight against the evil fey king. So, whether Nia wants to or not, Raphael demands that she train at Avalon Academy, Camelot’s elite school for spies whose agents are pivotal to the war effort. But Nia is in way over her head—asthmatic and out of shape. She’ll be lucky to get out of there alive.

Still, there’s no escape when Raphael is watching her every move. He’s lethal, arrogant, and hot as hell. And with every dangerous mission they’re sent on together, he becomes harder to resist. But romance is forbidden at the academy—a distracted spy is a dead spy. Touching him is playing with fire. Is she ready to get burned?]]> 13 02

No person has reinvented themselves more times than Trisha Paytas. Like a phoenix, she has risen from the ashes again and again – outliving social media platforms, navigating ill-fated and explosively popular podcasts and being on the wrong end of more messy feuds than she can count. As one of the world’s first influencers, she helped create the blueprint for a new kind of celebrity. But across a career marked by both dizzying highs and earth-shattering lows, one thing has remained unclear: What the hell was she thinking? 
  
In Crying on the Kitchen Floor, Trisha sets out to answer this question once and for all by opening up like never before. She recounts in vivid, shocking detail how an insatiable need for fame led a quiet girl from the suburbs to life on the seedy streets of Hollywood. From dangerous encounters with potential serial killers, to abusive relationships with former child stars, infinite reality TV cameos, and ultimately, taking over the internet, Trisha’s desperate search for identity nearly cost her everything. Yet, after decades spent battling mental health issues and weathering endless cancellations, she somehow managed to fight her way to high ground as the world she helped build transformed beneath her feet.

A kingdom on the brink of colonisation.
Ten thousand nature spirits and deities seeking a vessel.
A genial nobleman and a grumpy prince uncovering the secrets at Court…
And the girl at the center of it all.

Mirae has a dangerous secret: She has faked her way into a job as a royal kitchen maid with the hope of sending money to her family. And life in the kitchens isn’t easy. The palace is in an uproar after a recent assassination attempt on the king, and Mirae nearly gets fired after inadvertently getting in the crosshairs of Jae, the prickly crown prince, during his investigation.

Her position gets even more precarious when a chance encounter with a witch in the mysterious spirit woods makes her the vessel of ten thousand spirits and deities. When her new powers spill out into the palace kitchens, Wonshik, a kind nobleman, lends a helping hand. Soon Mirae finds herself embroiled in a power struggle between the queen and Wonshik’s best friend, Prince Jae.

With the help of a fellow kitchen maid and a meddlesome ghost, Mirae must untangle the web of lies to find the traitor within the palace. But an encroaching threat from the empire to the east looms ever closer, and the palace is rife with lies and shadowy allegiances.

Distilling the themes that have absorbed him across a 50-year career as a published writer, Poems of Fifty Years encapsulates what has made the author of Waterland, Last Orders and Mothering Sunday one of our greatest and most beloved writers.

One of the subjects of the poems is undoubtedly time, and time is, undoubtedly, one of the subjects of my fiction. Fifty years is quite a serious chunk of time, and I hope this book of poems will stand the test of time, along with all my other books.

Best known as a writer of fiction, Graham Swift’s novels have received accolades and awards for over half a century. As well as being one of our greatest novelists, Swift is also a masterful poet. Now, for the first time, a selection of his poems has been collected in a single volume to celebrate his 50 years as a published writer. Like his prose, his poetry is deft, humane and understatedly powerful – a true testament to a lifetime spent in pursuit of literary excellence.]]> 13 02 Here We Are; three collections of short stories, including the highly praised England and Other Stories; and Making an Elephant, a book of essays, portraits, poetry and reflections on his life in writing.

Some come from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeneva Rose in her most unsettling book yet.

A dinner party. A quiet house. A roadside stop.

Three familiar setups. Three terrifying turns.

In Never Kill the Medium, a thirtieth birthday dinner turns deadly when a playful séance spirals out of control – and the guests cover up a death without realizing they’ve left the ritual unfinished.

In The Nightmare House, a postpartum mother begins to suspect something is wrong with her family’s new forever home. The house whispers. The neighbors watch. And every family who has lived there has died or disappeared.

In All Curses Are Final, a group of friends stop at a roadside store with a hand-painted warning: ‘All items cursed. Curse lifted at time of sale.’ They laugh it off – until one of them finds an unpaid item in her bag. Snowed in at a remote cabin, they soon discover the curse is only the beginning.

Dark, twisty, and impossible to put down, this chilling collection proves that the most ordinary places can hide the most horrifying secrets.]]> 13 02 The Perfect Marriage, One of Us is Dead, and You Shouldn’t Have Come Here.

Jenna Elyse Johnson has been a storyteller since elementary school, ever since her teachers told her she could be a writer. (Never doubt the power of an encouraging word!) Her teachers saved many of her earliest stories and still share them with their students today.

Jenna holds a bachelor's degree and teaching credential from Pepperdine University. Her favorite part of the day is story time, so she made a career out of it! As a disabled author, it is her passion to showcase disabled joy through her writing.

Jenna's an active member of SCBWI, and Julie Hedlund's 12x12 Picture Book Challenge. In 2022, Jenna was chosen as a PBChat Mentee, and her career has grown from there.

When she's not writing, Jenna is teaching elementary students, working at her local independent bookstore, visiting her twin brother in San Diego, or playing with her service dog, Hamilton.

Most days, you can find Jenna curled up by the fireplace (she's always cold!), reading a good book (most likely kidlit!), munching on a good gluten-free treat, or at a coffee shop with her laptop, working on her next big idea.

"Delicious fun." Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

On a cold day, Mina wants to warm up with a bowl of her Omma's kimchi stew. But when she slides to the kimchi fridge . . . It's empty! Text the aunties and neighbors, it's kimjang time! Soon Mina's home is filled with the warmth of laughter, family, and friendship as everyone gathers to make their own batch of mouth-watering kimchi. But when Mina realizes that her kimchi needs time to ferment and won't be ready to eat for months, what can she do to satisfy her craving?

Mina’s crucial discovery—“We’re all out!”—rallies Omma to text the aunties, tie her hair back, cinch that apron, pull on rubber gloves, and announce, “It’s kimjang time.” Grandparents, aunts, cousins, and neighbors quickly assemble with all the necessary ingredients to boil, split, soak, salt, peel, and slice their way to creating everyone’s “own favorite kimchi.” In between, Mina’s dad shows off his K-pop dance moves and brother Jungsu never puts down his phone (except to do the dishes) while the rest of the chefs chatter on. Mina initially struggles with wrapping her kimchi leaves just right, but Omma assures her that not-so-perfect efforts will still be delicious. Their work yields plenty of kimchi to restock many fridges. The next kimjang might seem far off, but “some things are worth waiting for.” Korean American Cho enhances her exuberantly entertaining text with thousands-of-years-old kimjang history; her author’s note mentions the global growth of kimchi consumption. Korean American Kang’s colorfully energetic spreads are an irresistible invitation to join the delectable party.

Sweetie and her Candy Vigilante squad are back to kick off Volume Two of their SWEET new series with the epic, not-to-be-missed “Sugartown Showdown”! Together with her shape-shifting, licorice-loving lycanthrope Candy Wolf and newly “minted” ninjette warrior Pixie Stix, Sweetie faces off against her “salty” arch-nemesis Bart Volgare and his gang of thugs in the icy, snowy streets of New York City with a violently delicious fury. So, you have chosen salt? So be it! Blood is spilled and lives are changed (including many ended) as an army of fabled supernaturals and sugar-fueled allies hop into action to scramble the bad eggs. Candy Wolf shows the crime syndicate soldiers what big teeth he has, while Pixie gives her newly gifted nunchucks a maiden battlefield test-spin, reducing criminal weaponry to molten scrap metal! Sweetie’s signature Jawbreaker gun also resurfaces, armed with delicious new ammo (can’t you just smell the gingerbread?), but not before she unleashes some brand-new, sweetly sinister confections that wash away the naughty and leave a wicked smile on your face — literally! Isn’t that NICE? What does Bart have to say for himself about the disappearance of Sweetie’s parents? Will a certain supercharged monster truck fueled by ice cream make the scene? When the candy-coated carnage ends, will the bodies be bagged before NYC’s Department of Sanitation barrels down the block to do their rounds? Pick up Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 and find out, gumdrop!

This fantastic omnibus edition collects these three Pathfinder books from Dynamite in single softcover volume:

• PATHFINDER: GOBLINS
The goblins from Paizo’s Pathfinder RPG are pint-sized psychopaths, wreaking havoc across the land. Infamous for their unpredictable attacks, catchy raiding songs, hatred of dogs, and fear of horses, goblins blend mischief and murderousness like no other monsters!

• PATHFINDER: DARK WATER RISING
The warrior Valeros can rely on his sword arm and his friends — the mysterious sorceress Seoni, the quick-witted elven rogue Merisiel, the powerful wizard Ezren, the well-traveled dwarven ranger Harsk, and the courageous cleric Kyra — but nothing can prepare him for the dangers that lurk ahead. The scattered goblin tribes of Varisia are unifying in ways no one has ever seen before. At the heart of this strange evolution is an ancient force of evil looking to establish itself anew in the world of Golarion!

• PATHFINDER: OF TOOTH AND CLAW
When Valeros and his companions are tasked with tracking down a mysterious beast scaring the locals of Sandpoint, they find far more than they bargained for. A seemingly simple monster hunt becomes a twisted tale of danger and betrayal as the Cult of Lamashtu exacts its revenge on our iconic heroes!

Bonus features in this capacious compendium include more than 80 pages of encounters, characters, and world-building details for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, as well as a comprehensive cover gallery filled with astonishing illustrations!]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/238fc7f8-8ccd-441c-878b-b41b0033d284 01 Dynamite Entertainment SIMN538 Dynamite Entertainment 01 01 Dynamite Entertainment SIMN538 Dynamite Entertainment 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 10.25 in 01 260.35 mm 02 6.75 in 02 171.45 mm 08 1.499 lb 08 23.984 oz 08 679.93 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 10 02 79.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 79.99 0.00 20260719 02 89.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 89.99 0.00 20260719 Dynamite Entertainment AU 01 20261110 9781524130060 02 02 1524130060 03 9781524130060 14 19781524130067 15 9781524130060 11 BC B102 B202 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>PUNCH: Is That My Best Friend?</TitleText> 01 267723375 1 A01 Annie Auerbach Auerbach, Annie Annie Auerbach

A colorful flock of pigeons pride themselves on their perfect unity. All except one: a bespectacled pigeon who is happiest doing its own thing.

While the flock all looks the same, this pigeon enjoys wearing cowboy boots. While the flock flies in perfect formation, this pigeon soars like a superhero. When the flock finally confronts their contrary friend, they learn a thing or two about true perfection—and that we don’t all have to be the same to belong together.]]> 13 02 Perfect Pigeons, and Squish Rabbit, a CBC Children’s Choice Book.

A NEW STORY ARC IN THE UNDERWORLD UNIVERSE BEGINS HERE. Detectives McCormick and Miller return in EXIT CITY: VITRUVIAN, a chilling new case set in the lawless techno-metropolis of Exit City. When a celebrated artist is found murdered—his brainstem surgically removed—the investigation exposes a disturbing pattern: artists across the city are being stalked by an enigmatic figure known only as Vitruvian. As bodies mount and the trail leads through Exit City’s avant-garde art enclaves and underground street-art scene, McCormick and Miller uncover a horrifying truth—Vitruvian is not human, but an artificial intelligence harvesting artists in a desperate attempt to create “true” art. And when the machine sets its sights on McCormick’s unique mind, the case becomes a race to stop creativity itself from being consumed. A brutal sci-fi noir murder mystery, EXIT CITY: VITRUVIAN expands the Underworld Universe with a razor-sharp exploration of art, authorship, and the dark cost of unchecked technology.]]> 13 02

This is a story about Ted and Sarah.

Ted, isolated and paranoid, works for a mega corporation owned by the world’s only trillionaire. He suffers from night terrors, obsessively draws the same mysterious figures again and again, all while listening to one track of music on repeat--oh, and the only “person” he ever talks to is a stray cat. His humanity is hanging by a thread. Sarah is a new arrival to the city, fighting her own demons, and her job is to remotely spy on Ted to ensure he doesn’t hurt anyone…or himself. When Ted’s mental state begins to crack, Sarah compassionately intervenes to help, and things go catastrophically wrong. Is Ted OK? mashes up the paranoid existentialism of Severance with the cosmic sci-fi of Akira while exploring what happens when the act of help goes horribly wrong.

From creator Dave Chisholm (Spectrum, Miles Davis & The Search for the Sound), Is Ted OK? is a spectacularly unpredictable yarn--each successive issue shatters the scope of the previous, all without losing its core: a search for human connection in an oppressive, paranoid world.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/b34d6943-c5f6-4e5f-8b03-b3e900383571 01 Mad Cave Studios SIMO864 Mad Cave Studios 01 01 Mad Cave Studios SIMO864 Mad Cave Studios 02 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 10.125 in 01 257.18 mm 02 6.625 in 02 168.28 mm 03 0.6 in 03 15.24 mm 08 1.06 lb 08 16.96 oz 08 480.81 gr 27 15 9781545829998 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20260831 20261110 30 02 34.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 34.99 0.00 20260719 02 39.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260719 Mad Cave Studios AU 01 20261110 9781545831649 02 02 1545831645 03 9781545831649 14 19781545831646 15 9781545831649 11 BB Hardback The Phantom <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Phantom Vol. 1 Deluxe Edition</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Phantom Vol. 1 Deluxe Edition</TitleWithoutPrefix> 01 263450733 1 A01 Ray Fawkes Fawkes, Ray Ray Fawkes CA 2 A12 Russell Olson Olson, Russell Russell Olson 3 A12 Federico Sabbatini Sabbatini, Federico Federico Sabbatini

An easily-distracted young wizard named Hokis is on a magical quest across a fanciful world full of adventure, hijinks and laughs! Hokis is on the road with her frog companion Pokis and will need all the help she can get to find the powerful arcane relic known as the “Yundu!” She’ll need to brave the spooky road through Spiderweave Glade, the icy storms of Sunblister Valley, and the questionable cuisine of Grimlawn. Along the way she’ll encounter talking spiders, talking skeletons, taking flames, and a very well-meaning but chatty ogre named Ugh.

Hokis may command powerful magic, but the elements don’t bow to just anyone (and especially not bratty novice wizards)! Hokis will have to grow and learn a lot in her journey, not just about magic, but about herself and what it means to be a good friend. Lucky for her she’ll be meeting all sorts of great teachers along the way!

Come along for a whimsical romp full of magic, mystery and monsters as we all say: “Hokis, Focus!”]]> 13 02

Our tale resumes with a journey to a fabled location and time, as Tyler has uncovered a startling truth—Henry is not just a loyal butler to the family as the ever-present protector of the Claus lineage and destiny. . . He is Father Time. . . the ancient guardian of history and memories. Now trapped in his vulnerable Baby New Year form, Henry has been kidnapped by the vengeful Von Klon, who has journeyed back through time to capture Tyler’s mythic grandfather, seize the North Pole and rewrite history so that he is never banished.

Chasing Von Klon into a Christmas Eve long ago, Tyler, Herobear, and Elmo infiltrate the legendary factory, joining forces with elves, toy soldiers, and Herbert the Humbug to stop the villain’s mechanical army. As they battle to protect the Holiday heritage, rescue Tyler’s family, and protect the very flow of time, Tyler draws closer to understanding the true origin and purpose of Herobear. And the stakes could not be higher—for if they fail, the past will be rewritten and Herobear may disappear from existence. . .forever.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/b8b5b7c7-b9d0-4dbd-a78c-b4020034b476 01 Papercutz SIMO907 Papercutz 01 01 Papercutz SIMO907 Papercutz 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 10 in 01 254 mm 02 7 in 02 177.8 mm 03 1.1 in 03 27.94 mm 08 2.58 lb 08 41.28 oz 08 1170.3 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 20261110 22 02 49.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 49.99 0.00 20260719 02 59.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260719 Papercutz AU 01 20261110 9781545833773 02 02 154583377X 03 9781545833773 14 19781545833770 15 9781545833773 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Herobear and the Kid! 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Herobear and the Kid Vol. 3 </TitleText> <Subtitle>Saving Time, Part 2</Subtitle> 01 263444899 1 A01 Mike Kunkel Kunkel, Mike Mike Kunkel Mike Kunkel 01 eng 144 00 144 03 JUV008020 YF 2.1 10 JUV008040 10 JUV008080 20 teddy bear; toy bear; toy; family; grandfather; adventure; magic; polar bear; toy polar bear; time travel; family legacy; butler; villain; inventor; Christmas; holidays; wonder; best friends; friends; friendship; superhero; superheroes; imaginary friend; imaginary friends; animation; cartoon; Mike Kunkel; Calvin and Hobbes; Superman for All Seasons; Father Time; mythical figure; mythical figures 93 YF 01 02 17 03 7 04 12 01 02 Tyler and Herobear embark on their most important mission yet in Saving Time: Part Deux, traveling to a magical moment in the past where the fate of Christmas—and time itself—hangs in the balance.

Otto and Nan come to New Orleans for ghost tours, gumbo, and jazz—not to accidentally adopt an anemic vampire. But after splitting up for their own spooky adventures, both siblings cross paths with the same mysterious vampire musician, each uncovering a different piece of a long-buried family secret. What starts as a chaotic brother-sister trip turns into a heartfelt mission to reunite a reluctant undead jazzman with his music, his family, and the life he thought was long gone.

See both perspectives in this award-winning flip graphic novel series, written by real-life siblings Chas! Pangburn and Kim Shearer. TWO stories, TWO unique perspectives, and TWO different art styles--all in ONE book! However, in order to get the full tale, readers have to read BOTH sides of the story. Humor, action, the supernatural, emotional beats, and educational components—it's an adventure for all!]]> 13 02

HIGH STAKES AND LOW NOTES!

Otto and Nan come to New Orleans for ghost tours, gumbo, and jazz—not to accidentally adopt an anemic vampire. But after splitting up for their own spooky adventures, both siblings cross paths with the same mysterious vampire musician, each uncovering a different piece of a long-buried family secret. What starts as a chaotic brother-sister trip turns into a heartfelt mission to reunite a reluctant undead jazzman with his music, his family, and the life he thought was long gone.

See both perspectives in this award-winning flip graphic novel series, written by real-life siblings Chas! Pangburn and Kim Shearer. TWO stories, TWO unique perspectives, and TWO different art styles--all in ONE book! However, in order to get the full tale, readers have to read BOTH sides of the story. Humor, action, the supernatural, emotional beats, and educational components—it's an adventure for all!]]> 13 02

Then, Adrien Agreste hosts a fashion show! It’s going beautifully…until two of his models quit. He needs Marinette and Alya to help out—but Marinette can barely walk across a room in front of her crush. How will she manage a stage in high heels?! Can she channel her Ladybug confidence to put on a good show?

And when Marinette gets the blues, Alya comes up with the perfect way to cheer her up: a chronicle of the many times Ladybug has made a positive impact on people around her! It’s a tour of Ladybug’s most lovable qualities in “Ladybug’s Top Five.”

Grounded in neuroscience and real-world stories, Empathy Leadership teaches leaders how to navigate conflict, build trust, and lead with clarity and confidence.

In today’s workplace, empathy isn’t a soft skill—it’s the competitive edge that distinguishes great leaders and thriving organizations. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and real-world narratives, Douglas E. Noll reveals how calm authority, emotional intelligence, and compassionate communication are strategic advantages in effective leadership. Empathy Leadership is a revolutionary framework that prioritizes emotional connection as the foundation for success.

Through practices like reflective listening and affect labeling, leaders learn to recognize emotions in real time, diffuse tension, and strengthen trust and collaboration in the workplace. For leaders at every level, Empathy Leadership provides the actionable insights and tools to lead with both head and heart—demonstrating how empathy leverages emotional connection to build and maintain high-performing teams and authentic human connection.]]> 13 02 08 02 Empathy Leadership makes one thing clear: empathy isn’t softness—it’s leverage. From prison yards and segregation units to conference rooms and corner offices, results under pressure come down to trust, emotional control, and the ability to shut down friction fast. Noll delivers a practical, neuroscience-informed method to lower defensiveness and build trust quickly when stakes are high. This isn’t ‘be nicer.’ It’s a repeatable way to lead conversations that change outcomes.”]]> <b>Rich Diviney</b>, retired Navy SEAL commander and bestselling author of <i>Masters of Uncertainty</i> 08 02 Empathy Leadership offers a provocative, research-driven challenge to traditional leadership practices.

When Haibu receives a heartfelt letter from a young girl in Africa, everything changes. A rare and magical baby elephant has been kidnapped by a ruthless poacher—and time is running out.

Determined to help, Haibu travels to Africa and joins forces with the girl and her brother, a brave park ranger. Together, they journey deep into the wild and find that the elephant family is frightened and furious, rampaging through nearby villages after losing trust in humans.

To save the baby elephant, Haibu must do more than search—she must restore trust. Along the way, Haibu gathers a team of animal allies, each with their own strengths, as they venture through the jungle. With danger around every corner, the group faces challenges that test their courage, friendship, and determination.

Can Haibu and her friends find the stolen baby elephant and return it safely to its mother…before it’s too late?]]> 13 02 Blake Freeman grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, where his love of storytelling began before relocating to Los Angeles to build his career in film and television.

Best known for his landmark work Crisis and Leviathan: Critical Episodes in the Growth of American Government, Robert Higgs has repeatedly reshaped how scholars and citizens understand the relationship among government expansion, economic crises, and individual liberty. This carefully curated volume brings together his most influential writings, offering readers an unparalleled look at a career that spans civil rights, wartime political economy, the military-industrial complex, the regulatory state, the Food and Drug Administration, and the long-run growth of government power.

Higgs's scholarship stands out not only for its range, but for its intellectual craftsmanship. He boldly challenged conventional economic analysis by probing the reliability of official data—questioning how statistics are gathered, what they omit, and how they shape public understanding. Refusing to treat numbers as inherently authoritative, Higgs incorporated historical evidence, institutional analysis, and human experience to illuminate the complex forces shaping political and economic life.

At its core, Higgs's work centers on the human stakes of political economy: freedom, coercion, and the conditions necessary for human flourishing. The Indispensable Robert Higgs introduces new readers to his groundbreaking insights while providing longtime admirers with a powerful reminder of his lasting influence.

Timely, provocative, and deeply insightful, this collection showcases a scholar whose work continues to shape debates about power, policy, and liberty today.]]> 13 02 Robert Higgs is Retired Senior Fellow in Political Economy, Founding Editor and former Editor at Large of the Independent Institute’s quarterly journal The Independent Review: A Journal of Political Economy.

The Difference between Bullets and Stones is a collaboration between Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha and award-winning American photographer Michael Christopher Brown, with foreword by acclaimed photographer and activist Misan Harriman. The book unites Mosab’s poems from Gaza with Michael’s photographs from the West Bank and Jerusalem, illuminating the grief, resilience, and vitality of Palestinian life: “Those living through siege, dispossession, and the weight of generational memory,” says Mosab Abu Toha. “The book humanizes lives too often reduced to headlines, illuminating the deeper emotional and spiritual story of a people who continue to survive, create, and dream of freedom.”

At its core, the book seeks not to shock, but to invite recognition: here are people, their routines, their grief, their courage. “It is not straight journalism,” says Michael Christopher Brown, “but neither is it pure poetry. It is a hybrid, where images and words together share human truths.” With Mosab Abu Toha’s poems and close to two hundred photographs, The Difference between Bullets and Stones is a fitting tribute to Palestinian resistance and the people’s quest for freedom.]]> 13 02 Libyan Sugar received the Paris Photo—Aperture First Book Award and the ICP Infinity Award for Artist’s Book.

When young Venetian ne’er-do-well Antonio is stricken with love at first sight of the aristocratic Maria, his schemes to win her affections are met with disdainful rejection. Days later, the two are kidnapped by pirates during Carnival celebrations and hauled onto a ship headed to the coast of Tunisia and sold to slave traders. Thus begins their new life as foreign captives (‘iluj) in mid-15th century Tunisia, but on drastically divergent trajectories.

With her natural beauty and noble breeding, Maria finds herself in the royal harem where she will rise as queen consort and mother to two sultans. Antonio drifts from prison to vagabondage, surviving through the kindness of friends and patrons despite his obsessive and delusory love for Maria that leads to failures in business, addiction, and eventual madness.

Hasanein Ben Ammou’s The Foreigners’ Quarter is the saga of a new quarter of late-medieval Tunis medina as site of a European migration of captives, political and religious exiles, pirates, soldiers, diplomats and merchants who navigate their way to a new world that juggles religious and ethnic tolerance, financial opportunities, and the Hafsid dynasty’s battles with rival kinsmen, rebellious tribesmen, and external enemies.

Against the pairing of Antonio and Maria as would-be lovers in the vein of the Arabian romantic legend of Majnun Layla, The Foreigners’ Quarter is a novel that draws from the real-life history of the Mediterranean world rocked by the Spanish Reconquest and the expulsion of Muslims and Jews from the Iberian Peninsula on the one hand, and the subsequent rise of Christian-Ottoman rivalries on the other.

By evoking actual events, places and characters, Ben Amou crafts a novel cast in the shadow of the Andalusian “myth of inter-faith utopia” to tell the story of hostility and the sharing of a common life that foresees a modern, multi-ethnic Mediterranean Tunisian identity and nation.]]> 13 02 Eternal Sunset (al-Ghurūb al-khālid) in 2007.

William Granara, with his deep knowledge of Tunisia and the Mediterranean, renders this journey into English with elegance and fluency. Historical fiction requires not only imagination and literary skill, but also an intimate knowledge of history, customs, and social worlds, qualities that both the author and the translator display with remarkable success."]]> Houssem E. Chachia, Associate Professor of Early Modern History, University of Tunis 08 02 The Foreigners’ Quarter by Tunisian Hasaneen Ben Ammou is the portrait of a vibrant, cosmopolitan Mediterranean city run by an ambitious dynasty in the fifteenth century. On the canvass of this city, we read stories of politics and business, sprinkled with an imaginary of harems and love stories. In the fifteenth century, Tunis was at the heart of Mediterranean politics and commerce and trafficking, and the novel does justice to that. William Granara conveys this time and sense of place to the Anglophone reader in a smooth, fluent read, unencumbered by lengthy notes and commentary. The Foreigners’ Quarter should be of interest to students of the Mediterranean, historical fiction, and the under-translated Tunisian and Maghreb literatures. The writer, Hassaneen Ben Ammou is the leading figure in Tunisian historical fiction, with a celebrity status among readers and the media in his home country. His novel recalls times of ethnic and religious conflict as well as confluence, with an eye on the fractured times we live in."]]> Mohamed-Salah, Professor of Arabic and Comparative Literature, University of Oxford 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/6c49a85a-0301-4e09-ad5c-b3f700343a53 01 Interlink Books SIMO823 Interlink Books 01 01 Interlink Books SIMO823 Interlink Publishing Group Inc 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 8 in 01 203.2 mm 02 5.25 in 02 133.35 mm 08 0.416 lb 08 6.656 oz 08 188.69 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 1 02 37.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 37.99 0.00 20260719 02 42.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 42.99 0.00 20260719 Interlink Publishing Group Inc AU 01 20261110 9781623715397 02 02 1623715393 03 9781623715397 14 19781623715394 15 9781623715397 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Daughters of the Same Secret</TitleText> <Subtitle>A novel</Subtitle> 01 265561478 1 A01 Haneen Al-Sayegh Al-Sayegh, Haneen Haneen Al-Sayegh 2 B06 Michelle Hartman Hartman, Michelle Michelle Hartman The Weight of Paradise, Other Lives, and Wild Mulberries.

Constrained by the confines of her patriarchal, religiously-observant Druze community, Amal dreams of a life outside of her conservative, isolated village in Mount Lebanon, where many of life’s big questions remain ignored and unanswered.

Amal’s father, a shaykh and blacksmith, wields the hammer of his authority over the family to shape the future of his four daughters according to his

understanding of appropriate behavior for women. Her parents’ conservative beliefs stand in the way of her deepest desire—to pursue higher education and study at the American University in Beirut.

To achieve her goal of getting an education, Amal decides to strike a deal with a local, wealthy Druze businessman with a captivating smile. She bargains that Salem will help to secure her freedom. Will Salem keep his promise? Or will Amal face a new struggle to achieve her dream?

In her touching and poetic debut novel, Haneen Al-Sayegh paints a vivid picture of the little-known, isolated religious Druze community of Mount

Lebanon. Daughters of the Same Secret delves deeply into the human cost of the turmoil faced by women searching for their own path in a conservative society.

This novel is a literary contribution to the struggle for freedom in its broadest sense. It is about motherhood—as both a predicament and an

opportunity—and about love that transcends geographical, religious, and cultural boundaries.]]> 13 02

Amid a ban on the Palestinian flag and its colors, one of the artists asked, “What if I were to paint a flower in red, green, black, and white?” The occupiers replied, “Even if you paint a watermelon, we will confiscate it.” From then on, the humble watermelon, which shares its colors with the Palestinian flag, became a symbol of defiance. This powerful statement against oppression embodies the spirit of resistance and creativity.

For us, this symbol reflects our commitment to promoting Palestinian stories and amplifying voices that face repression, marginalization, and erasure.

Empowering those striving for greatness, in battle or in life, this primer speaks one essential truth: greatness begins with attitude.

The selection courses forging our most elite warriors share one common goal: to see what you’re made of when your mind and body breakdown. When that happens, one thing propels you forward. One thing gives you strength to face your enemies. One thing keeps you from quitting and giving up on dreams.

Your warrior spirit.

A warrior spirit is not exclusive to professional warriors. We all have enemies. Apathy, complacency, doubt, fear, and insecurity attack when we pursue our highest goals. Combat these dark enemies by anchoring yourself in attitudes that cultivate your warrior spirit.

Zillig’s twenty years’ experience as a SEAL, thirteen at SEAL Team SIX, taught him that the right attitudes are critical to realizing dreams and achieving success. Drawing from experiences in combat, training, and personal life, he selected Ten Attitudes that strengthen your warrior spirit and crush enemies to your growth and freedom.
  • Devotion
  • Discipline
  • Discernment
  • Trust
  • Courage
  • High standards
  • Ferocity
  • Forgiveness
  • Vigilance

Master the three forces that drive every outcome—energy, emotions, and environment—so you can perform at your best on command, sustain your edge under pressure, and win without burnout.

High achievers often think burnout, inconsistency, or pressure are just the price of ambition. But world-class high-performance coach Jason Stacy knows that’s a myth. In The Pressure Code, Stacy reveals the same framework he’s used to help world champions, Olympic medalists, and elite business leaders perform at their highest level—without sacrificing their health, clarity, or integrity.

Drawing from decades of experience coaching athletes like world no. 1 tennis player Aryna Sabalenka, Stacy distills what he calls the 3 E’s of performance—Emotions, Energy, and Environment—into a practical operating system anyone can use to unlock sustainable excellence. Grounded in real-world experience rather than theory, his approach helps readers reengineer how they think, train, and recover so that success isn’t a one-off moment, but a repeatable state of flow.

Through stories from the locker room, the boardroom, and his own journey from homelessness to global leadership, Stacy guides readers to:
  • Master physical and emotional energy to stay sharp under pressure
  • Shape environments that elevate focus, resilience, and performance
  • Build emotional intelligence and composure when stakes are highest
  • Reconnect ambition with integrity, creating lasting fulfillment

The Pressure Code is not another book of tips or motivational sound bites—it’s a proven playbook for performing at your best when it matters most.

Part memoir and part cultural history, Resident Punk offers a no-holds-barred expose chronicling the iconic and unforgettable music scene that would become defined by bands like the Ramones, Blondie, Television, the Heartbreakers, and Talking Heads.

In 1975 at just 19 years old, Legs McNeil—alongside John Holmstrom and Ged Dunn—cofounded PUNK magazine. In doing so, they inadvertently chronicled the start of a movement. McNeil’s role in the whole thing? To be their resident punk, embodying the zeitgeist the magazine was looking to capture, often by getting f*cked up with musicians, artists, writers, and hangers-on . . . and sleeping with a different girl every day of the week.

Now, just in time for the 50th anniversary of PUNK magazine, Legs tells the stories behind the stories in a sleazy, star-studded adventure. The coauthor of Please Kill Me, Legs invites readers along for the ride as he tussles with musicians and artists, groupies and writers, Golden Age Hollywood film stars and legendary figures of ‘70s New York. Featuring untold stories about Joey Ramone, William S. Burroughs, Patti Smith, Alan Vega, Martin Rev, the Dictators, the Dead Boys, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, and Poly Styrene, this book is an immersive look at the punk music scene as only a true insider can tell it.

What’s more, Legs shares the raw meat of his life, starting with his gritty suburban childhood, and the teenage wasteland years that put him on a path to punk. Join him as he steals David Bowie’s hubcaps, wrestles with Norman Mailer, and lives life on the edge, and wrestles his own demons—eventually setting in a small Pennsylvania town, where he’s very much still the Resident Punk.]]> 13 02 Legs McNeil, the original punk, is the coauthor of the 2.5-million-copy global bestseller Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk (Grove Press, 1996), a book widely hailed as the Punk Bible.

“Having read this propulsive, gasp-inducing mosh pit of memories, I’m not 100% sure that 100% of Legs lived to tell this tale. But what’s left of him has written a knockout book.”
—Patton Oswalt, actor and comedian

“Legs is a true original and he was THERE, baby. Personally, I can never get enough of this . . .”
—John Taylor, musician and author of In the Pleasure Groove: Love, Death, and Duran Duran

“Legs McNeil has made a profession out of inviting mockery. Few have been able to resist accepting, but among his admirers have been Sinead O’Connor, Norman Mailer, and a sexually disadvantaged elderly rich woman in the vicinity of Cheshire, Connecticut. I did love finding out about his childhood. Eddie Haskell (look him up) was a kindred soul. Obsequious ineptitude, with a suburban-swamp dash of surly, as survival tactic and comedy engine. The Legs is still standing. You have to salute him. Viva Legs!”
—Richard Hell, rock star and poet

“Legs tells a story I remember well;
through a haze of heroin and coke-soaked lenses told in utterances that stink of puke and stale beer,
when Times Square was a real red-light district temple to vice and depravity and the Bowery had real ‘dive-bars.’
The music was as raw, violent, and dangerous as the streets.
Literature came out of pulp paperbacks.
Politics came out of Screw Magazine. 
And art came out of underground comix and fanzines.
It was a time when we were all innocent before our fall from paradise.” 
—Joe Coleman, artist

“Legs McNeil has always been the coolest guy in the room. He’s also a brilliant writer. Resident Punk is a heartfelt, hilarious, hell-bent journey through a downtown NYC that’s been lost forever. A fantastic memoir.”
—Elizabeth Hand, award-winning author of A Haunting on the Hill

“The sordid story of a dissolute youth.”
—Roberta Bayley, photographer who shot the Ramones’ first album

“I have known Legs for half a century. Always thought he was a keeper. This funny, wise, autumnal yet still dukes-up autobiography proves it. Punk roots here!"
—Mark Jacobson, author of The Lampshade: A Holocaust Detective Story from Buchenwald to New Orleans

“I’ve been way too busy making a living, but I finally finished Legs McNeil's stupid book. Now I know way more about him than I would ever care to, so thanks for that! Despite the trauma, I really enjoyed it. I still can’t believe Legs can form whole sentences, never mind put enough of them together to make a paragraph."
—Elaine Aaronson, comedy writer for The Larry Sanders Show

“Before there was punk, Legs McNeil was the prototype. When punk was a scene, he was the living embodiment. When punk was a genre, he was the chronicler. Now that punk is an American subculture, Legs is the Godfather, a pop culture superhero who tells his origin story so intimately that you can smell the warm beer. This punk Pilgrim’s Progress speeds by like a song by the Ramones, as stark as William S. Burrough’s Junky and more hilarious than Will by G. Gordon Liddy.”

It’s time to pivot from the relentless cycle of hustle culture to the pursuit of greater inner alignment, leading you to more purpose-driven and fulfilling success.

A history-making NFL player and West Point graduate, Caleb Campbell seemed to have it all—national TV moments, a spotless résumé, and the admiration that comes with wearing both a uniform and a jersey. Off the field, though, he was unraveling, numbing his pain with pills and powder while trying to sustain his public image. When his body and spirit finally hit a breaking point, he realized the truth so many high performers eventually face: success without alignment to your true self will never feel like enough.

Now, Campbell shares the raw story of walking away from a celebrated life to build one that actually felt like his. With the same discipline that carried him through the military and the NFL—and a new commitment to honesty, compassion, and inner work—he offers a powerful blueprint for anyone who’s burned out from doing all the things they’re “supposed” to do and still wondering, Is this really it?

Unstriving dismantles the misplaced role of ambition in today’s rise-and-grind world and offers a healthier approach to achievement—one that will turn your drive into a ramp for passion, fun, and stress-free growth. Leverage your natural ambition for a sustainable, joy-filled way to work as you:
  • Redefine your understanding of excellence and untangle the driving factors behind unhealthy ambitions
  • Understand society’s obsession with success and recalibrate your sense of achievement to meaningful metrics like acceptance, connection, and contentment
  • Trade fatigue, burnout, and dissatisfaction for the pursuit of curiosity, inner peace, and purpose-driven fulfilment
  • Encourage habits that let you slow down and cultivate your sense of self and emotional well-being

—Jennifer Pastiloff, national bestselling author of On Being Human and Proof of Life

“While Caleb Campbell writes with remarkable vulnerability about his own healing journey, this book is ultimately less about his story than it is an invitation into your own. To read Unstriving is to experience the fragments of your own story being gently gathered.”

Embroiled in a years-long legal battle with her former business partner and ex-husband, Carolyn Aronson bought him out and went $100 million into debt, staking her career on the future of the company—a risky gamble for a solo female CEO in an industry dominated by men.

The result was a miracle—or Miracle Leave-In, Carolyn’s 10-in-1 wonder product that has become a go-to haircare line for beauty salons, stylists, and millions of consumers around the world.

In Lift, Hold, Shine, Carolyn traces her business success through the invaluable life lessons that shaped her business savvy today.

Not only is it true, it gives us an actual road map to achieving our own miracle success.”
—Antwone Fisher, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Fish, screenwriter, and foster youth advocate

“The Carolyn I know didn’t shatter a glass ceiling into shards that cut on the way down. She took it apart at its core—back to sand and limestone—and, guided by thought, care, and courage, she rebuilt it as a clear, open highway forward for anyone willing to think, care, and act.”
—Béryl Lacoste Hamilton, global philanthropist and former president of the Lacoste foundation

—Mark Spinks, president of Beauty Systems Group LLC 

“This story is bigger than beauty. It’s about resilience, identity, and what happens when passion meets vision.

More than anything, it’s a reminder that success isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, raising the bar, and giving ourselves permission to shine.”
—Angie Martinez, Hall of Fame radio personality and New York Times bestselling author of My Voice

By treating your relational trauma and healing power imbalances in your relationships, you can create the conditions it needs to begin.

Most people know that controlling relationships can lead to mental health issues. But few people understand that our bodies translate relational trauma into physical, chronic, and even terminal illnesses—autoimmune disorders, cancer, chronic pain, and more.

Building on the Internal Family Systems and Relational Life Therapy models, Relationsick is a trauma-informed recovery plan that will help you rebalance relationships where you give too much and receive too little or where someone is abusing their power—at your body's expense.

Relationsick will help you break free from the fawning behaviors that keep you stuck in toxic relational dynamics. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience, Drs. Lissa Rankin and Jeffrey Rediger place recovery firmly in your hands through grounded, ethical, trauma-informed, evidence-based medical advice.

Regulate your nervous system, protect your heart with good boundaries, and heal your body by learning to:
  • Spot the red flags of narcissism—as well as the green flags of healthy, responsible, health-inducing relationships
  • Understand fawning, over-functioning, and enabling behaviors in a trauma-informed way—so you can take charge of your health
  • Deprogram unhealthy conditioning and set patterns that will help your nervous system begin the process of deeper healing
  • Get to know the parts of you that cause you to give too much and keep you stuck in power imbalances that can make you sick
  • Communicate clear and assertive boundaries, navigate existing relationships with narcissists, and decide if a no-contact approach is right for you
  • Show up for yourself and your other relationships, so you can nurture safe, transparent, and loving connections in your life


With practical self-help tools including quizzes for self-assessment, this radical new approach to healing from physical illness and unhealthy relationships makes it clear that your body has the power to improve or even reverse trauma-inflicted illness. All you have to do is help it do so.]]> 13 02 Lissa Rankin, MD, is an OB/GYN physician and author of 8 books, including the New York Times bestseller Mind Over Medicine.

Lissa Rankin and Jeffrey Rediger name a gnawing truth many of us would prefer to look away from, calling out how many of us are living inside immature oppressive relationships and systems that our bodies experience as unsafe, even when our brains call it love . . . The wisdom they share encourages us and gives us tools to build relationships rooted in consent, dignity, and embodied truth. This book is a call to end the quiet violence of self-betrayal and to create real connection that doesn’t require it—as medicine for the body, mind, and soul.”
—Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP, New York Times bestselling author of My Grandmother's Hands and Monsters in Love

“This is a must-read book about relationships that can go awry, as many unfortunately do. These red flags are a guide to getting out of—or healing—toxic relationships before they make you sick.”
—John Gottman, cofounder of The Gottman Institute and New York Times bestselling coauthor of Fight Right

“Can your intimate relationship make you physically sick? In this book, two accomplished physicians and writers say it’s complicated. It may not be your relationship per se, but the parts of you that overly caretake and don’t let you take care of yourself. They back this up with compelling research, theoretical frameworks, and case examples, and offer a variety of practical options for reclaiming yourself and, in the process, your health.”
—Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, founder of Internal Family Systems and author of No Bad Parts

“Relationsick names a hidden epidemic with the precision it deserves: the way chronic overgiving, fawning, and relational inequality do not merely bruise the psyche, but alter physiology. This is what so many women and sensitive, caregiving humans have lived in their bodies for years without language for it. Lissa Rankin and Jeffrey Rediger have written a brave, wise, and urgently needed book about what happens when love asks you to disappear, and what healing requires if you are to return to yourself without hardening your heart.”
—Sara Szal, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Women, Food, and Hormones

“The authors have integrated many valuable elements from a variety of traditions that offer profound understanding and heartfulness, as well as many practical tools for addressing the complexities of relationships with self, others, and the world. They particularly highlight the role of developmental trauma in the development of illness and relational difficulties. This book is very useful for both clinicians and laypeople.”
—Laurence Heller, PhD, founder of NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), author of Healing Developmental Trauma and Healing Shame and Guilt

“As a cult recovery specialist, I’ve witnessed countless cult survivors experience relationsickness; but we didn’t know what to call it . . . Drawing on both their personal experiences with relational trauma and their knowledge as trauma-informed experts, Drs. Rankin and Rediger have developed an informed and compassionate guide to unpacking toxic relationship patterns, finding your boundaries, and creating new pathways to physical, mental, and emotional wellness. This book is a groundbreaking and much-needed contribution to the recovery space.”
—Janja Lalich, PhD, founder of the Lalich Center on Cults and Coercion and author of Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships

“As a clinician and teacher grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy applied to health and illness, I deeply appreciate how Lissa Rankin and Jeffrey Rediger bring attention to the relational environments that shape both our inner worlds and our physical health. This book thoughtfully highlights how protective adaptations to harmful relationships can become embodied over time—and how change in emotional experiences and relational patterns with use of IFS can open the door to meaningful physiological change. It is a compassionate and clinically relevant book.”
—Nancy Sowell, LICSW, IFS Institute senior trainer, Harvard Medical School teaching associate, and author of IFS Health Therapy

“The authors do a masterful job of weaving together multiple different strands of research and clinical findings about the relationships between trauma and health. The clinical examples that they use to illustrate the science make the book come alive, and will make it accessible to the general public. As we continue to learn about the lifelong effects on our biopsychosocial and spiritual well-being from childhood trauma, particularly the subtle forms of such trauma, a book like this one adds to the resources for clinicians and their clients.”
—Laura S. Brown, PnD, ABPP, retired psychologist, Courtesy Clinical professor at the University of Washington, and former president of the American Psychological Association Division of Trauma Psychology

“Just as the science is catching up to what physicians could see with our eyes, Relationsick describes the neurophysiological link between developmental trauma, perception of relational safety, and chronic disease. Reading this and learning how to get into a relationship with your hurt parts and repair them when possible is a powerful step towards healthy relationships.”
—Christy Gibson, MD, DProf, author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit, and cofounder of Safer Spaces Training

“Relationsick names something I have witnessed in thirty years of teaching intuitive intelligence: the body keeps an exact energetic accounting of every relationship where you abandoned yourself out of fear or to keep the peace. Give too much, too long, to people who take without reciprocating—and the body eventually sends the bill. Lissa Rankin and Jeffrey Rediger have written a brave, medically grounded book that finally connects the dots between chronic overgiving and chronic illness, showing with precision how the relentless drain of unbalanced relationships disrupts the nervous system, dismisses the spirit, and opens the door to disease. This is not self-help. This is a reckoning. And for anyone who has ever given until there was nothing left—it may save your life.”
—Sonia Choquette, New York Times bestselling author of Trust Your Vibes, Walking Home, and Waking Up in Paris

“With such kind clarity and an abundance of trauma-informed compassion for everyone involved, Drs. Rankin and Rediger give us the wake-up call everyone seems to know in our bones but hasn’t quite had the courage to say out loud—that our bodies might speak to us about the safety, quality, and reciprocity in our relationships before our minds ever let us admit the truth. But don’t despair! These docs don’t leave us hanging. They give us a six-step practical model to help us discern which relationships can be transformed to help us heal, and which ones need to get the old heave ho.”
—Nancy Slonim Aronie, author of Memoir as Medicine

“This book names something many people feel but struggle to articulate: the cost of always putting yourself last. Be forewarned: you might recognize yourself in these pages!”
—Chris Guillebeau, author of Time Anxiety and The Happiness of Pursuit

“What a practical book! If we’re praying for healing while also over-giving in unbalanced or oppressive relationships, we’ve got one foot on the gas and one on the brakes. With a clear road map that shows how to either rebalance our relationships—or leave—Drs. Rankin and Rediger help us deeply heal relational trauma. Often our bodies follow with much better outcomes as well.”
—Tosha Silver, author of Outrageous Openness and It’s Not Your Money: How to Live Fully from Divine Abundance

“For every person in a relationship of too much give and too little take, Relationsick offers a compelling reason to change: toxic relationship patterns aren’t good for your health. Filled with a wealth of information on the nervous system’s response to trauma and stress, attachment styles, couple dynamics, and Internal Family Systems, Relationsick urges readers to stop over-giving for the good of the body, mind, and soul. Relationsick isn’t simply an invitation for us to change, it’s also a guide toward change, giving readers a model for transforming a toxic relationship into a more balanced system of give and take.”
—Nicole Wordlaw, PhD, author of Waking Up Alone: Navigating the Narrow Passage Through Master-Slave Narratives

“The courageous authors of this book make it clear that relationships can cause or contribute to physical illness. This idea has been immensely unpopular among most physicians so it’s very gratifying to see two prominent doctors explain the evidence and mechanisms through which this can happen. Despite the difficulty and challenging nature of the subject, this book is so well written that it’s easy to read. A page turner.”
—Robert Falconer, IFS lead trainer and author of Many Minds, One Self

“In a world full of quick-fix promises, Relationsick shows us why trying to hack our way back to health doesn’t work. Instead, it offers us a road map to address perhaps the most critical part of our lives and well-being: our relationships. This is for anyone struggling with emotional or physical symptoms who is ready to take back their boundaries and their bodies in order to heal—at last.” 
—Amy B. Scher, author of How to Heal Yourself When No One Else Can 

“My life’s experience supports all Lissa Rankin and Jeffrey Rediger write about and share. Times have changed due to our experience, and we need to wake up to our power and opportunity and experience the benefits.”
—Bernie Siegel, MD, bestselling author of Love, Medicine and Miracles

“Lissa Rankin and Jeffrey Rediger understand that real healing starts where polite conversations end. They trace that cost into the body, where it stops being theoretical. The science is real, the stories land, and the way through is more possible than you think. Relationsick is honest, uncomfortable, and precise, with a hope that actually feels true. I needed this more than I expected. You might too.”
—Chris Grosso, author of Dead Set On Living and host of The Indie Spiritualist Podcast

“For a very long time, we’ve been in the dark about how to navigate toxic undiagnosed behaviors in relationships. Finally, there’s science-backed evidence to help us understand what happens to our bodies, so we can begin to heal. This book is not just for those who are ‘one down’ in relationships with unbalanced power dynamics, but also for those who are ‘one up,’ so they might emerge from denial about the bodily harm, emotional repercussions, and mental health struggles caused by oppressive behaviors. At first, the title made me uncomfortable . . . but we all know what it’s like to feel like relationsick.”
—Shiloh Sophia, founder of Intentional Creativity and author of Stardust Bones

“Research has long shown that healthy relationships are among the most powerful predictors of longevity, well-being, and happiness. But the reverse is also true: unhealthy relationships can take a profound toll on our bodies. In Relationsick, Lissa Rankin and Jeffrey Rediger shine an important light on how relational dynamics influence our health and offer compassionate guidance for recognizing unhealthy patterns and restoring balance. This book is a powerful reminder that caring for our relationships is one of the most important ways we care for our health.”
—Shasta Nelson, friendship expert, keynote speaker, and author of Frientimacy and The Business of Friendship
 
“I‘ve personally experienced the pain of narcissistic abuse and it literally made me sick. If you can relate, I highly recommend this hopeful book. Lissa provides you with powerful tools to protect yourself and optimize your health, and ways to leave the relationship . . . to save your life.”
—Barbara Stanny Huson, author of Overcoming Underearning
 
“Relationsick is timely, raw, and deeply honest—but more than that, it’s profoundly wise . . . This book challenges our assumptions about what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like and feel like, while offering grounded, compassionate guidance for creating something entirely new. Because the truth is life itself is relationship—and most of us were never given the tools to truly master it. Relationsick begins to change that. This isn’t just a book you read. It’s a book that works on you.”
—Debbie Rosas, cocreator and founder of Nia Technique

“Relationsick is a powerful and much-needed book that bridges the worlds of science and soul in a way few works dare to do. With both compassion and clinical insight, Drs. Rankin and Rediger reveal a truth many of us have felt but couldn’t name: that abandoning ourselves in relationships can quietly erode our health. This book is both informative and liberating, and invites us to reclaim our worth, our voice, and our right to receive as much as we give. A deeply healing read for anyone ready to come home to themselves.”
—Anita Moorjani, New York Times bestselling author of Dying to Be Me

“In Energy Medicine, we teach that the body’s energies follow the heart. Relationsick reveals the darker corollary: when the heart is trapped in a relationship that only withdraws, the body eventually sends the bill. Drs. Rankin and Rediger have written the prescription to balance the account.”
—Donna Eden and David Feinstein, PhD, coauthors of Energy Medicine and The Energies of Love]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/66a39d29-fdae-4191-b8da-b3db004450f4 01 BenBella Books SIMO999 BenBella Books 01 01 BenBella Books SIMO999 BenBella Books 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 08 1.208 lb 08 19.328 oz 08 547.94 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 12 02 52.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 52.99 0.00 20260719 02 62.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 62.99 0.00 20260719 BenBella Books AU 01 20261110 9781637749784 02 02 1637749783 03 9781637749784 14 19781637749781 15 9781637749784 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Life and Lobster</TitleText> <Subtitle>From Shark Tank to a Billion-Dollar Business (And How We Almost Lost It All)</Subtitle> 01 262988028 1 A01 Jim Tselikis Tselikis , Jim Jim Tselikis Jim Tselikis, a Cape Elizabeth, Maine, native, is the cofounder of Cousins Maine Lobster, a thriving food truck and fast-casual restaurant business with over 75 locations.

Stop losing to buyer indecision and stalled conversations, and instead learn how to create urgency, transforming hesitation into momentum that drives faster deals and bigger wins.

In Creating Urgency, Steven Mark Kahan draws on decades of experience helping startups scale to billions in value to show sales and marketing leaders how to replace buyer hesitation with decisive action. With lessons forged in the trenches and proven at high-growth companies, Kahan reveals how to make inaction feel costly, decisions feel necessary, and movement feel inevitable.

Discover how to stop competing against other vendors and start competing against the true enemy: inaction. Through frameworks, tools, and vivid real-world examples, Kahan teaches you to reframe buyer hesitation, uncover invisible risks, and create momentum that gets deals moving. Creating Urgency doesn’t offer theory—it’s a tried-and-true playbook for turning passive interest into urgent commitment. Inside, you’ll learn how to:
  • Expose the hidden costs of waiting and make delay feel riskier than change
  • Use storytelling, contrast, and data to spark “aha” moments that buyers can’t unsee
  • Create deadlines and time-bound triggers that force clarity and accelerate decisions
  • Equip champions to win internal budget battles and overcome organizational inertia
  • Keep urgency alive after the close, turning renewals and expansions into growth engines

With urgency embedded into your sales and marketing strategy, you’ll stop losing to inertia and start winning with speed.

Inherit the magic. Inherit the enemies.

Magus Vermil was a scumbag — the most hated professor at a magic academy. Then someone murdered him. He never would have been heard from again if not for a lost soul from Earth by the name of Noah Vines. Transmigrated into Vermil’s body, Noah assumes the man’s runic powers and extensive list of enemies. There’s just one problem. Noah has to teach class tomorrow, and he has no damn idea what magic is.

The Apocalypse WILL be televised!

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Getting stuck on a sadistic alien game show with her cat. Join Carl and Princess Donut as they try to survive the end of the world — or just get to the next level of a trap-filled fantasy dungeon.

With vibrant art done by Laurel Pursuit to bring action-packed battles to life, join as Carl fights his way through the dungeon in heart-speckled underwear.

And of course, the grizzly scenes are only balanced with the incredibly fluffy, wide-eyed stare of its main character, Princess Donut.

A ton of heart and effort was poured in creating a series with a script and style that would both appeal to WEBTOON readers and also lovers of DCC, all while consulting author Matt Dinniman the entire way about character designs, story, - EVERYTHING!

We couldn’t resist taking the apocalyptic awesomeness of the DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL WEBTOON and adapting it into the FIRST EVER graphic novel series!

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.

This volume collects episodes 1-13 of the WEBTOON edition.

Praise for DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL (eBook/Print):

“Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessed…Princess Donut is my queen.” – Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day

"I don't always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, this series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight." – New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch

“[A] comically cosmic adventure series…often laugh-out-loud funny…Grind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut.” – The Wall Street Journal

"This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night—in their underwear—looking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down." - Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series

“One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while." - Book Riot

"If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it." - Travis Deverell a.k.a. Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights With Monsters

“Dungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read.”—New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson

“Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I’ve read this year. I wish I’d tried it sooner.” – Will Wight, author of the Cradle series

“To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humour of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequences…it is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough.” - Grimdark Magazine

“Dinniman’s Douglas-Adams-but-playing-D&D romp was so much fun that I immediately went out and got the next two books…genuinely joyful.” – LitHub.com]]> 13 02 Dungeon Crawler Carl series along with several other books about the end of the world.

Join the start of this hit action-fantasy LitRPG series and explore a world whose secrets have been buried under decades of war.

Retired from a decade of brutal war, powerful mage John Sutton wants nothing more than a quiet pastoral life while he does his best to stem the steady increase of his Doom Points before they hit 100, signaling the start of the apocalypse.

He’s been given a small farm on the outskirts of the empire as a thanks for his service, but no matter how far he travels, it's impossible to escape the war's devastating effects on the world.

Bandits, suspicious townsfolk, a mysterious pair of siblings, and a secret that lurks in the mountains all threaten John’s peace.

The end is drawing closer, and if the world won’t let him farm in peace, he’ll just have to burn the threats away—one "Doom Point" at a time.

Farming has never been so dangerous…

DOMESTICATION is your entry into the wildly popular BATTLE MAGE FARMER series where slice-of-life meets high-stakes magical action with a protagonist you can’t help but root for.

"It is a common truth in my life that when it rains, it pours.

"The killings that once plagued New Orleans are cropping up again in Seattle. The local office is stumped. I’m called out to lend a fresh set of eyes, and my unique magical touch.

"It’s only when I get there that I realize the Seattle office isn’t stumped at all.

"They’re being silenced by the Mages’ Guild, a corrupt magical institution that doesn't want word to get out of what is plaguing the city. Worse, news of my magic might’ve slipped down to the underworld, hitting the ears of some extremely powerful demons.

"What I thought was a routine murder investigation turns into a fight for my life. With the help of Darius, my stalker elder vampire, and my dual-mage side kicks, I somehow have to dodge the Guild in order to stop one of the most powerful demons I’ve ever encountered. If I don’t? It’ll escape back down below with proof of what I really am.

"My life hangs in the balance, and this time, I can't see a way out." -- Regan Somerset, supernatural bounty hunter

Join Regan as she uses her wits and wiles to get herself out of another magical mess in, Raised in Fire, the second installment in the runaway bestselling series, Demon Days Vampire Nights.

After a botched exorcism, a faithful nun is kicked out of the church and a foul demon is kicked out of hell. Now excommunicated, they must work together to unravel the sinister plot that endangers everything they hold dear.

Sister Josephine, a nun pure of heart and soul, is deceived into attending a deadly and disastrous exorcism. The result? Both she and the demon are cast out of the worlds they know. But things don’t make sense; they must work together to unravel an intricate web of lies and deception that threatens their lives and perhaps the world itself.

Power and possession work both ways, as Sister Josephine and the demon Eddimu soon discover.

The world is full of saints and sinners, angels and demons, good and evil: Pray you can tell them apart.

Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student mage that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely manage any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively. Hugh would be delighted to just keep his head down and avoid bullies.

Unfortunately for Hugh, life's got other plans for him. When an unusual mage chooses him as an apprentice, he's drawn into a morass of deadly tests, political machinations, giant monsters, sand pirates, warring cults, and flesh-tearing sandstorms.

So much for Hugh keeping his head down.

Set in a world filled with intricate magic, diverse creatures, and high-stakes politics, the first hardcover edition of Mage Errant, includes both volumes previously published as Into the Labyrinth and Jewel of the Endless Erg.

For Fans of: The Name of the Wind, the Harry Potter series, The Atlas Six, Red Rising, The Magicians, and The Scholomance Trilogy.

PRAISE FOR MAGE ERRANT:

"A masterclass on writing in all its forms: characters that demonstrate both realism and depth, a vibrantly lived-in world, and a diverse cast with their own goals, all capped by a detailed yet approachable magic system worthy of titans like Brandon Sanderson." –Tobias Begley (author of Mana Mirror and The Enchanter)

"A fantastic exploration of magic as a cultural and political force. The series grows with every book, providing enough detail to satisfy any taxonomist while steadily deepening the fundamental themes." –Sarah Lin (author of The Weirkey Chronicles and Street Cultivation)

"Starts strong with a fantastic cast of colorful characters with unique and engaging magic, then swiftly grows into a unique exploration of how that same magic might shape a beautiful, diverse, and dangerous world." –Andrew Rowe (author of How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps)

"Mage Errant's world-building and magic system stand out above the pack, with fascinating evolutions and battle scenes that will satisfy any anime fan. It's an academy story with a bite and fascinating characters who grow and learn as they progress through the series. Well worth the read." –Tao Wong, Author of the A Thousand Li and the System Apocalypse series

"Highly imaginative, heartfelt, action packed, and utterly addictive. I could not put these books down and went immediately from one to the next, right up through the totally epic conclusion." –Dyrk Ashton, author of The Paternus Trilogy and Kraken Rider Z.

"Wonderful characters, compelling and interesting magic system, and an underdog story that inspires you to binge read every book just to find out what happens next." –J.R.

Growing up in poverty, Sunny never expected anything good from life. However, even he did not anticipate being chosen by the Nightmare Spell and becoming one of the Awakened — an elite group of people gifted with supernatural powers.

Transported into a ruined magical world, he finds himself facing off against terrible monsters and other Awakened in a deadly battle of survival.

What's worse, the shadow powers he received happen to possess a small and potentially fatal side effect.

But that won’t stop him. Born a slave. Destined for the grave. He chooses to survive.

No matter the cost…

One of the most popular web-serials of all time, Shadow Slave has more than 250 million reads and listens. Shadow Slave is the #1 most-read series on Webnovel with more than 102 million reads and thousands of 5-star ratings. Now, the hit series gets a new life and progresses to a deluxe hardcover edition with Book 1: Child Of Shadows!

"One of my favorite new reads! The world and magic system design are unbelievably intricate and impressive, and at each turn I couldn't wait to see what was around the corner." —Will Wight (New York Times bestselling author of Cradle)

About the Series: A dark progression fantasy series known for its deep world-building and complex power system. It follows the story of a shadow-ability wielding young man named Sunny as he navigates a brutal world where humanity must battle terrifying creatures in a nightmare realm to survive. Sunny is a calculating anti-hero who relies on intelligence and adaptability rather than raw power.

Rob didn't think of himself as anyone special. But when a pitch-black portal tried to wrap his best friend in chains, he stepped up without thinking and found himself ensnared instead.

His moment of heroism results in being torn away from everyone he knew and loved, kidnapped by an unknown force that leaves him with a note in his pocket stating: "Good luck."

After being thrown into the wilderness of Elatra, a hostile fantasy world ruled by levels, stats, progression, and bizarre video game logic, he finds himself entirely out of his depth. Armed with nothing but a sword and the clothes on his back, he sets out on his the first day, and almost dies. On the second day, he almost dies again. On the third, he began to notice a worrying trend. And almost dies.

It doesn't get any easier from there.

Follow Rob through the portal into a desperate struggle for survival in a hostile fantasy world in the first graphic novel volume of An Outcast In Another World, adapted from the Tapas Original webcomic based on the hit novel series.

Praise for DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL (eBook/Print):

“Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessed…Princess Donut is my queen.” – Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day

"I don't always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, this series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight." – New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch

“[A] comically cosmic adventure series…often laugh-out-loud funny…Grind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut.” – The Wall Street Journal

"This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night—in their underwear—looking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down." - Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series

“One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while." - Book Riot

"If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it." - Travis Deverell a.k.a. Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights With Monsters

“Dungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read.”—New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson

“Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I’ve read this year. I wish I’d tried it sooner.” – Will Wight, author of the Cradle series

“To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humour of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequences…it is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough.” - Grimdark Magazine

“Dinniman’s Douglas-Adams-but-playing-D&D romp was so much fun that I immediately went out and got the next two books…genuinely joyful.” – LitHub.com]]> 13 02 Dungeon Crawler Carl series along with several other books about the end of the world.

Growing up between Brooklyn and Haifa, Yotam Ben Horn never quite belonged. Too American for Israel, too Israeli for America, too sensitive for the world he inherited, he found his language not in classrooms or synagogues but in the raw urgency of punk and hardcore music. From his first exposure to Nirvana and the Pixies to the DIY underground of 1990s Haifa, music became both refuge and weapon-a way to survive grief, alienation, and the quiet violence of growing up amid cultural fracture.

Set against the backdrop of Israel's overlooked punk scene, Haifa City Hardcore chronicles the birth of bands, friendships, betrayals, and first shows played to half-empty rooms and hostile crowds. It is the story of a kid discovering straight edge, writing songs instead of explanations, and learning-slowly, painfully-how to stand onstage and exist without apology. As bands form and dissolve, and as the pull toward escape grows stronger, Ben Horin captures the fragile moment when adolescence hardens into identity.

At once intimate and kinetic, Haifa City Hardcore is not just a music memoir but a meditation on becoming: how art saves us, how scenes shape us, and how a voice-once found-refuses to stay silent.]]> 13 02 Yotam Ben Horin is a musician, songwriter, and writer best known as the longtime frontman of the influential punk band Useless ID.

When a series of mysterious packages begin arriving at an off-campus house, Michael finds himself drawn into a web of secrecy that forces him to confront not only what his peers are capable of, but what he himself is willing to ignore.

Moving fluidly between memory and present action, Packages is both a coming-of-age story and a reckoning—about masculinity, queerness, guilt, and the ways institutions and friendships fail the most vulnerable. With prose that is sharp, intimate, and darkly funny, O’Dea captures the intoxicating freedom of youth alongside its moral blind spots, asking how responsibility is formed, deferred, or abandoned altogether.

At once tender and unsettling, Packages announces a bold new literary voice and marks the arrival of a writer unafraid to look directly at the cost of looking away.]]> 13 02 Danny O'Dea is a writer whose work examines grief, masculinity, and the quiet violence of looking away.

In an evocative follow-up to his Los Angeles Times bestselling Arroyo, Chip Jacobs returns with a gripping tale of brotherhood, recklessness, and footloose souls in the anything goes of late-seventies Southern California.

As their elite, all-boys prep school turns coed, transforming from suburban Lord of the Flies to gender-roiled soap opera, two unlikely friends—Luke Burnett and Denny Drummond—alternate rescuing each other from self-destruction amid troubled home lives. Eager to maximize their era as invincible seniors at Stone Canyon Prep, they and their pals commandeer Bob's Big Boy, explore the secret world beneath Caltech, stumble into a possibly supernatural lab animal, and grapple with near-ODs at a playoff game. Just as our heroes manage to graduate, their bond is shattered by a wild gunshot that'll haunt them for decades.

Twenty years later, Luke is a high-powered journalist with a nosediving career, while Denny, a visionary software engineer with plenty of explaining to do, is socked with devastating news. Desperate to make amends for that misbegotten bullet while he can, Denny enlists his estranged friend's help, culminating in an unforgettable meeting with Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross that helps them decode what existence means while reconnecting with what matters most.

Later Days is a powerful exploration of the ties that bind and break us. Perfect for readers drawn to rollercoaster friendships, forgiveness, and the raw beauty of life skimming its edges to Near-Death Experience. With insight into Pasadena's buried histories and the psychological baggage of growing up in the shadows of "Great Men" fathers, Jacobs' second novel is as emotionally resonant as it is intellectually sharp.]]> 13 02 Chip Jacobs is a genre-crossing author and prize-winning journalist.

Told by Tyler Hassen, the Houston business executive who became Acting Assistant Secretary at the Department of the Interior, this book reveals the first insider account of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Part memoir, part management autopsy, this is a forensic look at what happens when builders confront Washington’s most entrenched bureaucracy.

Hassen takes readers behind closed doors—from late-night West Wing meetings to high-stakes confrontations with senators. From the California water crisis that ignited a media firestorm to a $830 million contract request for surveys so basic a high schooler could have designed them.

This is a revelation about Washington’s broken incentives and the $39 trillion reality that drains the American future. Rather than just draining the swamp, Hassen calls for “flooding” it with talent.

Hassen’s reflections are a blueprint for the restoration of the American institution.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/28894594-766c-4b00-a247-b43e002445a2 01 Republic Book Publishers SIMN024 Republic Book Publishers 01 01 Republic Book Publishers SIMN024 Republic Book Publishers 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 08 0.762 lb 08 12.192 oz 08 345.64 gr 27 15 9781645721277 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 02 59.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260719 02 69.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 69.99 0.00 20260719 Republic Book Publishers AU 01 20261110 9781646872435 02 02 1646872436 03 9781646872435 14 19781646872432 15 9781646872435 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Sunday Night Factor</TitleText> <Subtitle>How Leaders Create A Workplace Where People Love Mondays</Subtitle> 01 259593992 1 A01 Sean Moran Moran, Sean Sean Moran SEAN MORAN is a media and marketing executive with a track record of building high-performing teams and driving growth across some of the most iconic brands in entertainment.

In Sunday Night Factor, Sean Moran shares a leadership philosophy built not on performance metrics or corporate playbooks, but on something more telling: how people feel on Sunday night. Drawing from years of leading fast-moving teams and navigating complex industries, Moran explores what it takes to build workplaces people genuinely want to be part of—places where they feel trusted, seen, and able to show up fully.

At its core, Sunday Night Factor is a deceptively simple measure of leadership: How do your people feel about themselves on Sunday night? Hopeful or hollow? Motivated or numb?

This book explores what happens when leaders take that question seriously. Through candid stories, quiet revelations, and moments of hard-earned clarity, Moran makes the case for a different kind of leadership—one rooted in trust, clarity, and emotional safety. It’s not about slogans or systems. It’s about what kind of culture you’re actually building—and how it shows up in the emotional lives of your team.

Sunday Night Factor isn’t about pretending every Monday will be joyful. It’s about creating the kind of environment where people want to show up—even when the work is hard. It’s a book for anyone who’s ever felt that creeping Sunday dread and wondered if there’s a better way to lead, live, or both.

Cousins Jorge, Camila, and Siggy never imagined that dusty old puppets and a mysterious book would launch them into a time-traveling adventure. But when they discover their aunt has treasures belonging to Pura Belpré, the trailblazing Latina librarian and storyteller, they’re transported back to 1930s New York City. Their mission? Race against time to return Pura’s puppets and a signed first edition of her book, proving their aunt isn’t a thief.

The past is full of danger, though. A powerful woman will stop at nothing to steal the book, the cousins’ nosy neighbor is snooping around, and the hardship of the Great Depression is all around them. Luckily Jorge, Camila, and Siggy meet Antonia, a fierce Puerto Rican girl fighting injustice against her community.

The cousins will need courage, quick thinking, and a little help from history to protect Pura Belpré’s legacy, clear their aunt’s name, and make it back home. Can they pull it off before time runs out?]]> 13 02 A Sled for Gabo and Martina Has Too Many Tías, the bilingual picture book Martí’s Song for Freedom, and the middle grade novels Sofía Acosta Makes a Scene, Cousins in the Time of Magic, Silver Meadows Summer, and, with Adam Gidwitz, The Madre de Aguas of Cuba, part of the Unicorn Rescue Society series. Visit her at EmmaOtheguy.com.

This was not exactly unusual for sensitive Camila. What was unusual was that Camila was crying about school. As far as her cousin Jorge could tell, quiet, straight-A Camila was an academic whiz.

But there sat Camila, cross-legged in the prickly grass, crying about how much trouble she was in. Jorge was kneeling in front of her, trying and failing to be comforting.

“What’s the big deal?” Jorge said. It was hard to understand Camila between sobs, but apparently it was all about some books she had brought to school. “So your teacher told you to bring the books back home. Who cares?”

Camila burst into an even more hysterical sob. She was clutching a piece of paper, which she held out to Jorge. “That’s not all. The principal sent this letter to the whole school. The principal, Jorge! I can never go back there now.”

Jorge took the paper. It was on very official-looking Sunshine Middle School stationary. But for a change, the letter wasn’t about Camila’s latest honor roll achievement. In fact, without ever mentioning her name, the letter made Camila sound like some kind of criminal. Jorge mouthed the words quietly as he read:

Dear Parents, Students, and Faculty,

Yesterday it came to my attention that a student brought several inappropriate books to school with the intention of distributing them to other students. The books were confiscated in a timely manner, and I wish to reassure you that Sunshine Middle School prohibits the circulation of unapproved books within our school.

Sincerely,

Principal Santos

“Geez, Cami,” Jorge said. “What kinds of books were these, anyway?”

“They were for my friend Marisol.” Camila sniffled.

It was news to Jorge that Camila had friends that weren’t household pets, but he decided to play it cool. “The girl who just moved into that house on Glades Street?”

Camila nodded miserably.

“Sooo… what were the books?” Jorge grinned. “Come on, you can tell me.” It was fun to imagine well-behaved Camila sneaking racy romances into school. He always thought the books she read were about puppies and kittens and that sort of thing, but apparently he had been wrong.

“It’s not like that!” Camila shrieked. “I swear, they were just normal books. In Spanish!”

“Oh, right,” Jorge said. “Marisol doesn’t speak much English yet.” Marisol was one of the immigrant kids who had started at their school recently. Jorge and Camila’s aunt Xía had been going to visit the new families as much as possible, which was probably how Camila and Marisol had gotten to be friends in the first place. It helped that the cousins were bilingual—talking to Marisol in Spanish wasn’t a problem.

“So the books were in Spanish,” Jorge prompted. He tried to think of how Cami could have gotten in so much trouble if the books weren’t about anything scandalous. “Were you using them to pass notes in class?”

“No!” Camila wailed. “Principal Santos said it’s because we shouldn’t read books about race in school!”

“Oh.” Jorge paused. “Were they books about race? How did Principal Santos know what the books were about—does she even speak Spanish?”

“She doesn’t! And they weren’t!” Camila said. “I just brought Marisol a couple of my favorite books in Spanish. You know, about Latino kids. Like us.”

Jorge frowned. It sure seemed to him like Camila had been framed. She hadn’t done anything wrong.

“The worst part,” Camila said sadly, “is that now Marisol probably hates me. She got in trouble too—and she didn’t even get to read the books.”

Suddenly Jorge had a brilliant idea. He knew exactly how he would cheer up his cousin. “Wait here, Cami. I have a great idea.”

He stood up and ran inside the house. It was a Monday, which meant that Jorge, Camila, and their other cousin Siggy were all at their aunt Xía’s house after school. As usual, Siggy was busy recording videos, and Tía Xía was working in her bedroom. Neither of them noticed Jorge beelining it for the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Jorge scrambled up to the counter and stood on it to reach the highest cabinet. This was where Tía Xía stored her prime snacks and desserts, like dulce de leche–filled alfajores from her trips to South America. Jorge spent a lot of time perusing this cabinet, which was how he had found the treasures he was about to bring Camila.

Jorge reached into the back of the cabinet and pulled down an old book and two ratty hand puppets. One of the puppets looked like a mouse, and the other like a cockroach—but both of the animals were dressed in fancy, though now faded, clothing. He jammed the book and puppets under his arm and jumped down from the counter. In a second he was out the front door.

“Cami!” Jorge shouted. “Look! Tía Xía has this cool old book. You could show it to Marisol. It’s in English but it has a lot of Spanish words and it’s pretty easy. Here.”

Camila, who had finally stopped crying, took the book curiously. “Perez and Martina,” she said, reading the title aloud. “Oh! It’s a story about the Cucaracha Martina and the Ratoncito Perez.” Her mom was always telling the famous folktale about a cockroach named Martina and a mouse named Perez. She thumbed through the book, admiring the illustrations and the heavy old paper.

“Let’s bike over to Marisol’s house and show it to her,” Jorge urged. “It’s so cool. She can’t be mad at you if you bring her a peace offering.”

Camila turned the book over. “I don’t know,” she said thoughtfully. “It’s not ours. Do you think Tía Xía would mind?”

Jorge raised an eyebrow. In his best imitation of their aunt, he said, “¡Mi cielo! What’s yours is mine! You never have to ask your tía!”

For the first time since she was called into the principal’s office that afternoon, Camila burst out laughing. “You’re right,” she said. “Tía Xía always tells us to take whatever we’d like, especially her books.”

“Let’s go see Marisol,” Jorge said, relieved that Camila had finally stopped crying.

Camila scrambled to her feet. “Hey, what are those?” She pointed to the puppets, still tucked under Jorge’s arm.

Jorge loaded a puppet onto each hand. “Perez and Martina, at your service!” he squeaked, making the mouse puppet’s mouth move up and down.

“Whoa,” Camila said. “I wonder where those came from?”

“You know Tía Xía.” Jorge shrugged. “She’s always collecting old stuff from thrift stores.” He led the way toward the garage, where there was a jumble of sort-of working bikes for the cousins to use.

But before they got to the garage, a boy stepped in their way, casting a long shadow down the driveway. Jorge groaned. Cooper Tumbor lived in the house behind Tía Xía’s. He was rich, and he was a bully.

“What do you want, Cooper?” Jorge really didn’t need Cooper’s energy in his life right now.

“Got yourself some new gloves?” Cooper smirked.

Jorge looked down at his arms. He hadn’t taken off the hand puppets. Camila stood next to him, clutching the book.

In a flash, Cooper grabbed the book out of Camila’s hands. “More illegal books, Camila? Geez, I never thought a Goody Two-shoes like you would get in this much trouble.”

“You heard?” Camila gasped.

Cooper chuckled. “The entire school heard.”

Camila gaped at him. Cooper was a year ahead of her, in Siggy’s grade. Today had been bad enough, but it was even worse if even the eighth graders had heard about it.

“Give that back,” Jorge snapped. He reached for the book, but with the puppets on his hands, he fumbled, giving Cooper enough time to snatch it away. Angrily, Jorge ripped the puppets off his hands and let them fall to the ground. “I mean it!” he snapped. “That’s our book!”

Jorge lunged forward, but Cooper was too quick. He ducked under Jorge’s outstretched arm and plucked the Martina the cockroach puppet off the ground. “Gosh, what a dirty old rag,” he said with a sneer. “Is this what your aunt uses to clean her house? No wonder the place is filthy.”

Camila’s back straightened. “It is not!” she yelled. Tía Xía, whatever her faults, was never happier than when she was bleaching everything in sight. Her house wasn’t new and fancy like Cooper’s, but it was definitely clean.

But Cooper just grinned. “Guess no one will mind if I drop these in the dumpster where they belong, then.”

By this point, Jorge had thrown his entire body at Cooper, trying to knock him off his feet, but Cooper was a lot bigger and taller than Jorge, and he was holding the book and the puppet high in the air.

“I think it’s my responsibility to make sure your delinquent cousin doesn’t spread around more delinquent literature,” Cooper said with a cruel laugh.

Now Camila threw herself at Cooper too. “There’s nothing wrong with that book!” she shouted at him. “You’re the one who’s a bully!”

Finally, Jorge managed to knock the book out of Cooper’s hands. “Got it!” he shouted triumphantly, racing across the yard and away from Cooper.

Cooper whirled around; the Martina puppet flew off his hand. Camila scooped it up, grabbed the Perez puppet too, and took off after her cousin.

They only had a half-second head start, and Cooper’s legs were a lot longer. “Jorge!” Camila called. “What are we going to do? He’s gaining on us!”

Jorge looked over his shoulder. Cooper was just a few feet behind them. Jorge scanned the yard, searching for something he could climb up, dive behind, or kick in Cooper’s way. They needed to stash this stuff somewhere Cooper couldn’t follow them.

Which was when Jorge thought of it.

The perfect plan.

Jorge knew exactly the place. It was the most secret and hidden place he had ever encountered, and he was pretty sure Cooper wouldn’t be able to follow them. In fact, Cooper probably wouldn’t even try to follow them.

Because while Tía Xía’s yard might have looked just like every other yard in Miami, it was anything but. Tucked away in the far corner of the front yard was an old clay pot called a tinajón. In the olden days, these clay pots had been used to collect rainwater. Now they decorated front yards. But Tía Xía’s tinajón wasn’t just decoration.

It was magic.

And Jorge was running in that direction. “Come on, Cami,” he grunted, picking a fallen coconut off the ground and throwing it over his shoulder.

The coconut landed at Cooper’s feet. He tripped, lost his footing, and fell down hard.

Those thirty seconds were all Jorge needed. He grabbed his cousin’s wrist, tucked the book safely under his arm, and dove into the mouth of the tinajón. For a moment, the cousins were plunged into darkness. They smelled humid earth and briny air. Then an invisible force yanked them forward, and they tumbled down through the tinajón into a world they thought Cooper Tumbor would never find.]]> 41 02
Adventure in the City of Stories

By Emma Otheguy

About the Book

Jorge, Camila, and Siggy are back for another time-traveling journey as they race to clear Tía Xía’s name! She has been accused of stealing valuable artifacts: a signed copy of a picture book by the famous librarian Pura Belpré, and two handmade puppets. The cousins are sent back to 1930s New York City in the midst of the Great Depression when even paper for printing books was considered a luxury. Antonia, an outspoken Puerto Rican girl, rescues the cousins after they’re also accused of theft by a wealthy socialite. With the power of community and storytelling on their side, Jorge, Camila, and Siggy concoct a wild plan to amend the wrongdoings against their family and Antonia’s, but will time turn against them?

Discussion Questions

1. Camila, Tía Xía, Gabriela Mistral, and Antonia are all accused of wrongdoing. What are the similarities in their stories, and why does it matter that they are all women and girls?

2. Cooper seems to have it in for the Hernández family, showing prejudiced behavior and bullying them. How would you deal with bullying and prejudice? Why do you think Cooper acts this way? Use examples from the book and from your own experience to answer.

3. Tía Xía explains that Pura Belpré’s version of “La Cucaracha Martina” was “‘More than impressive. Bold. Radical.’” (Chapter two) Explain what she means by this. Think about the language(s) you and your family speak. How easy is it to find materials in these languages where you currently live? Share with the class.

4. Camila feels anger build in her chest at being wrongfully accused. (Chapter three) Has this ever happened to you? Or have you ever accused someone without knowing the full details? Why does this happen? How can it be prevented?

5. Mrs. Wilson uses the word “unassimilable” when speaking about Puerto Ricans. Describe United States culture and how someone would assimilate to it. Is assimilation possible? Discuss in small groups, then share with the class.

6. Camila remembers this saying about time travel: “If you sew a stitch in time, you pull a thousand threads.” (Chapter five) Think about a moment in history that you wish you could travel to, if you had the opportunity. If you changed something about that time period, how would your life change today?

7. The 135th Street Library is full of people with different skin tones, hair types, and accents. Antonia comments, “‘This isn’t Arturo’s library, this is everyone’s library.’” (Chapter seven) A library is meant to be a space that welcomes all. As a group, discuss your local library. What resources does it have available? Do you feel welcome? If not, how would you feel welcome? Can you share this feedback with the librarians?

8. What purpose does an archive serve? Use examples from the text to explain. Have you ever visited an archive? How is it different from a library?

9. Arthur Schomburg tells Antonia to show Mrs. Wilson evidence of Puerto Rican greatness. What is the evidence she provides, and is it enough to change Mrs. Wilson’s mind? Explain.

10. Why does it matter so much to the Wilsons to have Antonia write a positive review of them and their factory? Why do they expect Puerto Ricans to be grateful even when the Wilsons treat them poorly? Use examples from the text to support your response.

11. Why does Tía Xía show compassion toward Cooper, and what was your reaction to that? Do you think he deserves her understanding? Explain your answer.

12. Beatriz states, “‘When workers read, they have power.’” (Chapter twelve) Explain what she means by that. Use examples from the text, current events and history, or personal experience to respond.

13. What was your reaction to learning about the United States’ ban on flying the Puerto Rican flag in the novel? In small groups, share moments in history you were shocked or surprised to learn about. Did anyone in your group know parts of history that you or others didn’t? How do you learn about history, and why does it matter?

14. Beatriz reminds Antonia to write her perspective because all the workers at Mr. Wilson’s factory are Puerto Ricans, and he can’t afford to lose everyone if he punishes Antonia’s dad. Explain why there is power in numbers and why all the other workers would support Antonia’s family.

15. What makes Camila stop feeling “small and worthless inside” when she thinks about getting in trouble for sharing books in Spanish? (Chapter fourteen) Should she have felt that way in the first place? Explain.

16. Anne Carroll Moore was a librarian who opened the Central Children’s Room at the New York Public Library in 1911. She was a pioneer in changing children’s services in libraries, including advocating for children to borrow books to take home. Why is it important for children to have access to libraries? Why does story time exist?

17. How does Gabriela Mistral’s poem “Miedo” (Fear) make you feel? (Chapter fifteen) Do you agree with Camila’s explanation of “real power”? Explain.

18. Jorge states Pura’s book is “‘evidence that our stories are worth printing in books, and always have been.’” (Chapter sixteen) Find at least three other forms of media, including books, that act as evidence of the impact and greatness of Latinos in the United States.

Extension Activities

1. Principal Santos doesn’t think the kids should read about race in school, and decades prior, Eva Wilson believed books in Spanish shouldn’t exist. Why do these characters want to censor certain stories? Visit your school’s library and your public library, and explore their collection of books about race. How do their collections compare? Write a list of at least five reasons why it is important to learn about the histories and American experiences of ethnicities not your own.

2. In 1996, the American Library Association established the Pura Belpré Award, named after the first Latina librarian at the New York Public Library. Choose one of the books that have won the award, read it, and prepare a book report. ALA’s list of all winners and honor books can be found here: (https://www.ala.org/sites/default/files/2025-09/belpre_winners_coms_1996-to-present.pdf)

3. Gabriela Mistral decides to help the cousins because she also experienced being kicked out of school for writing her truth. Though she grew up in Chile, censorship and freedom of speech are global issues. Write an essay or a poem about what freedom of speech means to you and why it matters. You can reference a piece of history or a personal experience to help guide you.

4. Siggy realizes that the scary newspaper headlines contributed to Mrs. Wilson’s fear of Puerto Ricans, and he wonders, “Did the newspaper never print good stories about Puerto Ricans? Or was it that Mrs. Wilson never bothered to read those stories?” (Chapter six) What do you think? In groups of four, collect current newspapers from school, the library, or family members, and examine the headlines. What messages do they send? Are they targeting specific people? To ensure you have a complete understanding about a group of people or an event, choose one of the articles and find at least three additional sources from different news outlets and alternate perspectives.

5. Adventure in the City of Stories speaks to archives and books like “La Cucaracha Martina” as evidence of Latinos’ amazing history. As a class, think about what you want to leave as evidence of your life. Bring in an artifact that represents your story and present it to the class.

6. Camila thinks, “The Latino kids at Pura’s library were already a part of a great American story, with acting and music and literary stars all their own. They didn’t need to change anything to belong.” (Chapter thirteen) In groups, share your favorite great American stories, including stories you heard from your family. Write and illustrate your version, then compile all the stories into one book.

A new friend for Jazzy?

Ever since Jazzy shared her love for cycling with her town, all the other witches want to learn how to ride a bike, and Jazzy is excited to teach them. She is the best cyclist around after all…until a mysterious newcomer shows up who’s a total whiz on a bike! On top of that, the new kid just might have Jazzy’s best friend Aggie beat as the smartest witch in school.

Jazzy and Aggie are determined to teach their smug new classmate a lesson. But as trading pranks turns into an all-out prank war, Jazzy starts to wonder if revenge really is the answer. Could their cozy town be big enough for more than one book-smart, bike-riding witch after all?]]> 13 02 New American Paintings, Highlights Magazine, The Stranger, and Illustoria Magazine. She’s also the author of the middle grade graphic novels Duel and Dear Jackie (illustrated by Aaron Bagley) and the author-illustrator of the middle grade graphic novel series Jazzy the Witch.

What if we lived in a world with fire-breathing dragons? Or enigmatic, alluring mermaids? How about rainbow-nibbling unicorns? These fabled beasts aren’t as far from us as we think. After all, their legends had to have come from somewhere…

Join us as we weave together legendary tales and new scientific findings to uncover connections between real and mythical creatures. Delving into the past, we’ll see how our ancestors took what they found in the world and created the beloved fantastical creatures we dream about today.

Could the skull of a protoceratops have inspired the hooked beak of a griffin? From manatee to mermaid, heron to phoenix, we’ll trace the truth behind these fantastical creatures and make some new discoveries along the way!]]> 13 02

Cranky Chicken isn’t feeling so hot; she’s got the Chicken Flu, which makes her feverish, fuzzy, and extra cranky. Armed with an out-of-tune ukulele song, some questionable soup, and a very tight worm-knit blanket, can Speedy cheer Chicken up? Then Speedy faces fears and frights when Halloween gets a little too spooky for comfort. Can Chicken help Speedy find some calm? Later, a surprise family reunion of the wormy variety sees the friends taking a festive winter vacation.

With the war between the humans and monsters finally over, the Berzerkers are now fighting to preserve the fragile peace in the land of Bailiwick. When Barb and Porkchop arrive in the city of Skulladune, they find monsters and people at each other’s throats over the silliest things and do their best to shut the conflict down.

But there’s a sinister shapeshifting force at work who seeks to possess the Ghost Blade, and she manipulates Barb into entering Skulladune’s notoriously brutal contest to become the city’s marshal and then tricks Porkchop into entering too. Soon, the Berzerker and the yeti are facing an evil gelatinous cube, a sewer labyrinth, an epic sausage-eating contest, and more. Can the best friends find a way to work together, or will they be forced to take each other out?]]> 13 02 Nickelodeon Comics, The New Yorker), theater (Pilobolus), and digital.]]> 44 02 Moana meets Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man in this sidesplitting graphic novel series about a young Berzerker girl who travels through her world challenging monsters and bullies with her trusty yeti pal, Porkchop, by her side.]]> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/82358937-8c87-4c21-9f43-b396003f7624 01 Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers SIMO333 Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers 01 01 Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers SIMO333 Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers 02 20261027 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.95 in 02 151.13 mm 03 0.6 in 03 15.24 mm 08 1.06 lb 08 16.96 oz 08 480.81 gr 06 15 9781665953535 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20260817 20261027 32 02 22.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 22.99 0.00 20260719 02 26.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 26.99 0.00 20260719 Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers AU 01 20261027 9781665955201 03 02 1665955201 03 9781665955201 13 2025051906 14 19781665955208 15 9781665955201 11 BB Hardback Spirit Service <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Twice the Trouble</TitleText> 01 213304886 1 A01 Sarena Nanua Nanua, Sarena Sarena Nanua Spirit Service, Twice the Trouble, Sisters of the Snake, and Daughters of the Dawn.

Spirit Service is booming, and with “Holloween” night approaching, guiding spirits to the afterlife has never been easier. But all is not well. Raveena Gill and her besties have come across an impossible creation: another phantom phone! Worse, this phone belongs to a boys-only anti-paranormal league, and the boys seem bent on trapping spirits for their own gains.

To keep the copycat phone out of the boys’ hands, Raveena proposes a wager. The first to vanquish fifty spirits by Holloween will get to keep both phones. If Raveena fails, she’ll lose Spirit Service; if she succeeds, she’ll stop the twin phone from being used for evil.

As tensions between and within the clubs rise, a sinister threat stirs in the shadows. To stop it, they will have to band together to uncover the darker origins of the phones themselves…and this time, both the lands of the living and the dead are at stake.]]> 13 02 Spirit Service, Twice the Trouble, Sisters of the Snake, and Daughters of the Dawn.

Harold Bartholomew Jr. wore a black top hat, a burgundy three-piece suit, and a striped bow tie that could only be described as swanky. But his fashion choices weren’t the most captivating thing about him. It was the dazzling blue of his eyes, sparkling under the barnyard lighting in the greenhouse shed, or Spirit Service HQ as my besties and I liked to call it.

Mr. Bartholomew Jr.’s granddaughter (correction: living granddaughter, because one can never be too careful) was currently seated with me and my friends at the round table in our supercool headquarters. Andronica wore equally swanky-looking clothes, but they seemed like they were about to be ruined by the waterfall of tears streaming down her face. The snotty kind. This required experts like us, skilled in handling townspeople who never thought they’d see their deceased loved ones ever again. And thankfully, my bestie Lillian Baxter kept a whole collection of Scotties tissue boxes at the ready.

“Now, Mr. Bartholomew Jr., sir,” Aiko Tanaka began, tapping a fountain pen to her glossed lips, “what did you say you needed again?”

“Music. I need music!” he reminded us chillingly.

“Does he want to take my mom’s old MP3 player?” Blair Ricci asked, teeth chattering as she stared at the ghost. She was still getting over her ghost fright. “Because I think she threw that out, like, before I was born.”

“A ghost of this caliber would prefer vinyl,” Aiko said to the rest of us. Lillian nodded along—as a K-pop fan, she was a thorough collector of albums, including vinyl. Meanwhile, I don’t think I’ve even touched a vinyl record before. Spirit Service President Raveena Gill might’ve been a music aficionado, but I preferred instruments like my flute to old-timey records, thank you very much.

“Only a musical object will do,” moaned the spirit. We’d dealt with a few impatient spirits before and knew if we didn’t act fast, we’d have a big mess on our hands.

Level one spirit, check!

Oh, yeah, did I mention my besties and I have a ghostly business? We basically kick these ghosts’ behinds into the afterlife (affectionately) thanks to an old phantom phone that helped us create our business, Spirit Service.

“I know what he needs!” Andronica suddenly stood, retrieving a small object from the depths of her purse. Seriously, that thing could be a magical well for how much it could hold.

“A music box?” Aiko wondered, inspecting the vintage object. “Well, that’s definitely new.”

Andronica finally found the strength to approach her deceased grandfather. “I know you liked to wind it up and play it every night. Would you play the song one final time? For me?”

The ghost’s eyes turned glassy with tears as he turned the ballerina inside the music box. A warm song filled the air, and it reminded me of Grandmama—her hugs, her smile, her laughter.

Grandmama passed away over a year ago. I was one of the lucky few who got to feel her gentle caress before she departed for the afterlife. Even though she was gone—something both my mother and I had a tough time with, in our own ways—I would always feel her warmth through music.

Once the spirit let out a relieved sigh, he said goodbye and left a faint kiss on his granddaughter’s forehead. He disappeared in a whirl of sparkly dust. The pink phantom phone, which we’d found all chipped up months ago in Yoon’s Antiques, was now newly repainted thanks to Aiko’s artsy skills. It practically shone under the HQ lights, its magical glow appearing almost greenish rather than its typical white. But that was probably because of all the planters we had hanging around the shed. It was a greenhouse, after all!

“Thank you, girls.” Andronica left us with a contented smile and a wad of cash—even though we had a new credit card system set in place thanks to the advice of Lillian’s banker parents. With business booming, Spirit Service could now directly fund the arts program at Hollows’ Peak Middle.

As soon as Andronica was gone, Blair pumped her fist in a cheer.

“That’s our hundredth client to date!” From the base of the phone, she pulled out the Guidebook for Guardians, our handbook for all things paranormal. Our Guardian guidance counselor, the town psychic and formerly reigning scary lady Tía Paola, told us the book was meant for Guardians to keep record of our spirit encounters.

“Well, now that we handled that…” I pulled out my phone. Yes, my cell phone. Mama finally made good on our deal and promised I’d get a phone at the start of eighth grade, which was just a few weeks ago.

I flipped the screen toward me, expecting a string of missed calls. Instead, all I saw was my glowing lock screen, a photo I’d found of me, Mama, and Grandmama visiting the CN Tower before Grandmama got sick. She was even brave enough to step onto the glass floor.

In the last several months, I’d learned bravery could manifest in many ways. Being honest with your friends. Not hiding secrets. And certainly not obsessing over contacting a dead relative.

Or a very much alive friend.

“Did he call yet?” Aiko said as she wiggled her brows playfully.

“Who?” Blair set down the guidebook, her brown eyes widening. “Oh. Ma-te-o,” she overemphasized in a singsong tone.

“Just Mateo,” I reminded my friends. “It’s no big deal. Maybe he forgot.” Sure, Mateo Pérez, my once-frenemy-turned-friend, had been FaceTiming me once a week since his temporary move to Rosemary Heights to live with his dad, and it was pretty much always on a Friday at 8:00 a.m. just before school. It was currently 8:02, but who was checking?

Me. And my besties. That’s who was checking.

“The real juicy part is that he has your number saved at all.” Aiko winked, flipping a piece of rainbow-dyed hair behind her shoulder as she peered over at my brand-new phone. “Do you have pet names yet? Or how about a ship name? Raveo? Mateena?”

“We’re just friends. And friends save their friends as contacts on their phones.” I flipped my phone to show my ghost-obsessed bestie my contacts app.

Aiko gawked. “OMG. You have a winky face emoji next to his name?”

I pulled my phone away, ears burning. I totally forgot I added the emoji.

“We should start planning their wedding!” Blair said with an air of playfulness. “I’ll cater the cookies. Now, should we go with a standard sugar cookie, snickerdoodles, or oat crisps? These are the questions!”

“Seriously, guys,” I told my friends, “I said it’s no biggie.” Although he had missed last week’s call too. “It’s not like he’s ghosting me. Pun intended.”

“There’s no way to be sure.” Aiko’s eyes lit up. “Or is there? Fierce fam, I have an idea.”

“Oh no,” Lillian moaned as Aiko withdrew a six-sided die from her backpack.

“Not the mystical die!” Blair chalked her fingers down her face. “Anything but that!”

“What the heck is a mystical die?”

“A gift from Tía Paola,” Aiko explained. “I showed it to Lillian and Blair before you got here. Pretty neat, huh? All you have to do is ask it a question, roll, and wait for your answer! It’s like an on-the-go fortune teller!”

“Not sure how accurate it is,” Lillian muttered out of the corner of her mouth. “I mean, I can allow for a small margin of error, but I asked if my brothers would ever stop bothering me for one minute at home, and the die said yes. Highly unlikely!”

Aiko waved a hand and rubbed the die between her palms, as if warming it up would enhance its “abilities.” “Oh, mighty mystical die, is the former HP Middle basketball star and Raveena’s totally-not-boyfriend ghosting her?”

I rolled my eyes but secretly took a glance as the die hit the wooden table in the middle of the greenhouse. Instead of having small dots to represent numbers, each side held a word or phrase, like GHOULISHLY NO, PSYCHIC’S CERTAINTY, and MYSTIC MAYBE.

The die landed, spelling out MYSTIC MAYBE.

“See?” Aiko cheered, as if finding out that someone was maybe ignoring you was the greatest thing in the world. “Something’s up with Mateo. He’s, like, off the grid or something!”

“If you say the phrase ‘alien abduction’ one more time…” Blair huffed, looking like she was about to pull out her crown of brown braids at Aiko’s obsessive look.

“Maybe he’s just busy,” I said as nonchalantly as I could, stuffing my phone back in my pocket.

“Let’s be real, besties,” Aiko said, putting away the die as we prepared ourselves for school. “Before long, Raveena and Mateo will be going steady! That’s what they used to say in Harold’s time. Like, totally smitten.”

“I am not smitten!” My cheeks burned. Mateo was my friend. A really good friend. We had magnetic peanut-butter-and-banana friendship charms on each of our arms to prove it. But our phone calls were just to make sure we kept in touch since his move… right?

“Okay, Raveena’s love life aside, we’re gonna be late for the school field trip to Rosemary Heights!” Lillian checked her watch. “I am not missing this one! Remember when Chase and Donovan made me late for last year’s Holloweekend science camp? I missed a whole day of cool science-y stuff! No way am I going to miss out this year. They’re bringing in actual scientists to teach us!”

Lillian shoved her phone in our faces, which displayed a pretty neat flyer and a hefty price tag. I guess science camp didn’t come cheap.

Aiko’s eyes sparkled as she tugged her backpack straps onto her shoulders. “So your parents said yes?”

Lillian fiddled with one of her hair buns. “Well, I haven’t exactly asked them yet. I’m waiting for just the right time. Besides, why wouldn’t they?”

“True,” Blair noted. “They definitely deserve the Coolest Parents of the Year Award.”

Blair was right in saying our bestie’s parents were the coolest couple around. They often hung out with Blair’s parents at Peter’s Roller Palace, and they even let Lillian stay up late to watch their favorite soap opera, Days of the Glorious.

We all got up and headed out the doors of Spirit Service HQ. Our headquarters was located by the best taqueria around, El Grillo, which happened to be owned by Mateo’s moms. Pretty convenient having drool-worthy tacos right next to our headquarters, which was the perfect abode for all things Spirit Service—though we did make our fair share of house calls too, especially with elderly clients.

I shivered as a burst of frigid wind passed by. It was already beginning to cool down here in Hollows’ Peak, which was just a hop, jump, and skip away from the heart of Toronto. Our town was pretty out there, with our weird and wacky ways and, of course, our deep roots in everything ghostly. It was all thanks to the town’s founder, Rose Hollow, who was Aiko’s hero in all things “spirited.”

Lillian fiddled with the BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA pin on her lapel. “I hear in Rosemary Heights, they’ve got tons of pumpkin spice deals this time of year, and I need to try all of them.” Hollows’ Peak was less of a pumpkin spice town and more of an apple cider city. Not that that stopped Blair from creating gourd-centric concoctions.

Aiko added, “Mrs. Yoon said that last year she tried the pumpkin-infused matcha over at Brews and Boos and it was to die for.”

“Considering how we deal with ghosts now, I hope that’s not literal.” We all giggled at Blair’s statement.

Hollows’ Peak lit up like a burst of golden sunshine during the autumn season. The trees were a mix of burnt oranges and burnished browns; the sky was perfectly covered in just a few wispy clouds, not a teardrop of rain to be seen; and every store, house, and building on Main Street was covered head to toe in all things “Holloween.”

That’s right. Here in Hollows’ Peak, we didn’t celebrate “Halloween” but “Holloween,” which was basically the same holiday except with our signature Hollows’ Peak touch. Every autumn, Blair baked her spiced pumpkin cheesecake cookies. They were always a hit at our town’s Holloween Festival—which we took quite seriously. The festival was a chance for us to put out our most spooktacular string lights, gourds, and festive autumnal garlands to signal the season… and face off in a series of games with our neighbors over in Rosemary Heights, all leading up to Holloween night. This year’s theme was “Mediums of the Past,” focusing on everything psychic.

We made it to the school’s gate in record time, and once we found our homeroom teachers, we piled onto the bus. Lillian sat beside me, and Aiko and Blair took up the rest of the row beside us.

The school bus lurched to a start, and we were off to visit the land of pumpkin spice.]]> 44 02 08 02 PRAISE FOR TWICE THE TROUBLE

Ninth House meets Legendborn in this “bold and bloody” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) first book in a dark academia fantasy series about a teen who’s willing to do anything to find her brother—even infiltrate a secret society full of monsters and magical creatures.

When August’s brother disappears before his sophomore semester, everyone thinks the stress of college got to him. But August knows her brother would never have left her voluntarily, especially not after their mother so recently went missing.

The only clue he left behind was a note telling her to stay safe and protect their remaining family. And after August is attacked by a ten-foot-tall monster with fur and claws, she realizes that her brother might be in more danger than she could have imagined.

Unfortunately for her, the only person with a connection to the mysterious creature is the bookish Virgil Hawthorne…and he knows about them because he is one. If he doesn’t find a partner to help control his true nature, he’ll lose his humanity and become a mindless beast—exactly what the secret society he’s grown up in would love to put down.

Virgil makes a proposition: August will join his society and partner with him, and in return, he’ll help her find her brother. And so August is plunged into a deadly competition to win one of the few coveted candidate spots, all while trying to accept a frightening reality: that monsters are real, and she has to learn to master them if she’s to have any hope of saving her brother.]]> 13 02 08 02 Kirkus Reviews, starred review 6/1/25 08 02 Publishers Weekly, starred review 5/12/25 08 02 Booklist July 2025 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/4740d293-9717-49fd-8595-b32a00a541c3 01 Margaret K.

August Black risked everything to find her brother, joining a deadly secret society protecting the chilling truth that monsters are very, very real. She thought when she found him that she would leave the society behind.

Instead, she fought and bled to bond herself to a Monster for life.

Now, despite her efforts to stay unattached, her connection to her Monster partner, Virgil, continues to grow. She can’t stop replaying the memory of their forbidden kiss that Virgil wants to pretend never happened.

Their strained bond is put to the test as they prepare for the Monster’s Ball, a brutal tournament where pairs battle for the coveted title of Master. But despite the danger of the contest, August is consumed with finding her mom’s killer and getting revenge. Her vendetta leads to her accidentally forming a rare second bond with Nolan, a Wild Monster who wants nothing to do with her. And if the three of them can’t work together, they’ll be kicked out of the tournament before it even begins.

But August can’t pull her focus away from revenge—even if it means becoming the worst sort of monster herself. She believes that vengeance will cure her grief, but it may just be the thing that breaks her bonds for good.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/0ecc3b01-535b-42c0-b162-b3380054ec6e 01 Margaret K.

Meera Noorani has spent her whole life playing it safe.

Raised by her single mom, she’s had to—especially in love. After all, it has been proven, generation after generation, that all Noorani women are cursed to have partners who ruin their lives.

And though she tried her best to avoid it, Meera’s fate comes a-calling, and within the span of a week, she’s broken up with, arrested, and then shipped to small-town Canada, where she’ll be completing her community service under the watchful eye of her mom and her new stepdad.

Meera’s spent her whole life being good, and this is the thanks she gets?

If she can pose a threat to Mom’s perfect new life, though, maybe she can get back to the city. And there’s no better way to do that than date one of her fellow teen delinquents. Noah has got the piercings, tattoos, and rumors to prove that he’s the town’s most infamous bad boy…but when the bad boy isn't actually bad, what’s a girl meant to do?]]> 13 02 23 02 No one, no matter how hard they work at it, or how much they want to, can ever—and I mean ever—escape their fate. And, apparently, my fate is to be cursed for eternity.

My eyes blur as I sit alone in the back of a police cruiser, watching a cop put literal handcuffs onto the wrists of my date, Gabe. Not even an hour after my first kiss with him—my first kiss ever.

My grandmother—Nani—has been warning me my whole life about the curse placed on our family four generations ago by a witch doctor in India. Should a girl in Nani’s bloodline choose to romantically involve herself with a boy before her seventeenth birthday, the girl becomes destined for trouble that will haunt her for her entire life.

Mom and Nani gave me a list of rules to follow so the curse wouldn’t ruin me: put my education first, never lie to my family, associate only with people with the same values as me (i.e., high achievers), and most important, don’t date at all until my seventeenth birthday. If I followed the rules, I would be unharmed by the curse and would be the first girl in my family to go to university. I would be the first to be able to live the life that I wanted to live. Of course, I followed the rules with precision—my life goals are way too important for me to risk ruining them.

So, on my seventeenth birthday, when Gabe Bautista, the smartest guy in my grade, asked if I wanted to go for a walk on the weekend, I said yes. I was seventeen—it would be fine. I was tired of being the only one of my friends who’d never been on a date, and I wanted a little escape from worrying about year-end school projects and Mom’s wedding. But to be extra careful I did a ton of research and made an epic avoid-curse spreadsheet, listing methods from around the world of how to stay safe from curses. I zeroed in on methods that are used in South Asian cultures, since this curse started in India, and on the ones that are most practical. (Like, I didn’t think it was a great idea to kill a descendant of the man who cursed my family.) Before my date I ordered a protection talisman online—a black tourmaline bead necklace with an evil-eye amulet on it—then took a bath in salt water and burned a candle while repeating some mantras.

I did everything right.

But on my date, with only one kiss under my belt, I was arrested because of some stupid social media stunt Gabe pulled at a carnival. It turns out that costume jewelry, salt water baths, and waiting until my seventeenth birthday were useless. There was nothing I could have done to escape my fate. This curse has ruined the life of every woman and girl in my family for four generations… Why would it spare me? All the work I did to escape it failed. I wipe the tear on my cheek with the back of my hand.

A back seat door opens, making me flinch, and a woman slides into the car next to me. “I’m Officer Martel,” she says. She’s not in a uniform but in black dress pants and a dark blue collared shirt. She eyes me suspiciously. “How are you doing, kid?”

I’m upset, embarrassed, and angry at Gabe. Mostly I’m furious at the curse. But I don’t say that. I shrug.

“Okay, so your full name is…”

“Meera Parveen Noorani,” I say quietly. I already gave someone my driver’s license (okay, fine, it’s a learner’s permit), so she should know this.

The woman nods. “Your mother’s name is Neelam Noorani, correct? She’s not answering her phone.”

Of course she’s not. “She’s in Italy… on her honeymoon. She’s technically Neelam LeClair now.” I bite my lip. “She’s supposed to be back today.”

The woman’s eyes narrow like she doesn’t believe me. To be honest, I can’t believe my mother got married either, but that’s beside the point right now.

“Where are you staying while she’s gone?” the officer asks. “Can we call your father?”

I shake my head. “I don’t have a father. I moved in with my grandparents after the wedding.” I wince, imagining my grandfather’s reaction to having to pick me up at the back of a police car. “But can we not call them? They’re… harsh.” Nanabapa, my grandfather, will probably ship me off to Vancouver on the next flight. Or ship me farther.

I inhale a shaky breath. Just like I was warned, dating has ruined everything. I want to ask if universities will have access to my criminal record, but I know it’s best to say as little as possible to the police without a lawyer. Do I need a lawyer? How will we afford that?

Another cop sticks his head in the window. “The mother answered her phone. Her flight just landed. She said she’ll pick the girl up at the station in about an hour.”

Officer Martel nods. “One heck of a way to end her honeymoon. You’re going to be apologizing to your mother until you’re fifty.”

I don’t say anything, because really shouldn’t it be Mom apologizing? She’s the one who passed this curse on to me in the first place.

At the station they put me in a little sitting room behind a closed door, telling me to wait for my mother. I put my head in my hands. I cannot believe this is happening to me. I’ve never so much as jaywalked or skipped school, and now I’m worried about a criminal record.

This arrest could affect my university acceptances and my chance of getting into the architecture mentorship program I’ve been counting on. And I can pretty much give up on my dream of being valedictorian next year. I will no longer be the first girl in my family to get a university degree. I won’t be the one to break the curse for future generations, like Nani said I would be. If I had my phone, I’d make a spreadsheet of all the ways that this situation will ruin my life forever, but the cops confiscated everything I had on me—including my mirrorless camera that has all the evidence of Gabe’s failed stunt on the memory card. I clutch the amulet on my necklace.

The door to the little room opens, and my mom walks in. Thankfully, her boyfriend, Jason—wait, her husband, Jason—isn’t with her. She’s wearing leggings and a white Italy sweatshirt, and looks very, very angry. Like, imagine the angriest, the most disappointed a person can appear, and then multiply that by one hundred.

“Don’t be mad,” I say quickly before she can speak. “I told Gabe not to use the paint bomb.”

Mom shakes her head. “Meera, I came straight from my honeymoon to a police station. Please, tell me how I should feel?”

I look down, my eyes welling with tears again. I feel Mom staring at my face for a long time.

“I’m not mad. I’m disappointed,” she finally says. “I thought you were better than this.”

Not mad but disappointed. It’s such a cliché thing to say, but right now I’m the most cliché of cliché good girls gone bad. I’m in a police station because I went along with my date’s plan to create a viral video for his socials. I may even have a hickey on my neck, judging by what Gabe and I were doing on the merry-go-round before he set up his prank. And if they drug-tested me, they might detect the secondhand smoke from the joint Gabe smoked, to my surprise, before he pulled out the—double surprise—paint bomb he had stashed in his backpack.

“It wasn’t my fault,” I say quietly. “It’s the curse, remember?”

Mom should know this wasn’t avoidable. With a sigh she sits next to me. She looks a little tan. I wonder if I should ask how Italy was. “Who’s this Gabriel Bautista, anyway? Someone from school?”

“Yes. We were on a… date. He told me his uncle worked at the carnival and he was allowed to hang out there after closing.”

She sighs again but doesn’t say anything.

“I know I’m not allowed to date until I’m seventeen,” I say, “but my birthday was last week, so I thought I was fine. Plus, I took a salt bath and—”

“You didn’t ask me if you could go out with a boy.”

“How could I? You were in Italy.” I try my best to stay neutral as I mention her honeymoon. “The rule was that I could date after I turned seventeen. And I asked Nani, and she said it was okay.” I don’t mention that it kind of stung that she was on her two-week dream vacation with her new husband on my birthday. Even if she did call me from Rome, it’s not the same.

“What’s going to happen to me?” I ask quietly. “Will I be sent to juvenile jail?” Ugh. I’m not equipped for that. I swallow hard.

She shakes her head. “Not likely. Jason already talked to the family lawyer. He may need to call in some favors, but it’s your first offense. You’ll probably be sentenced to community service—after you plead guilty.”

I nod. What if this had happened before Mom had married Jason, who comes from a wealthy and connected family? Would I have had to finish high school from jail?

“That boy will probably never speak to you again,” Mom adds. “He’s already trying to blame you for all of it.”

“The viral video was his idea. I didn’t even know he was planning it.”

Mom shrugs. “The damage has still been done. Now you’ll have to pay for it.”

I blow out a long breath, realizing that this means I am more like my mother than I ever realized. We’ve both been hit with the family curse. And both our lives have been ruined because of it.

My mother, of course, was pretty much right about everything she said in the police station. I have not been sentenced to a juvenile detention center but instead have been ordered to complete one hundred hours of community service. Gabe hasn’t contacted me or spoken to me again. I still don’t know if this will affect my mentorship or scholarship opportunities, but I don’t need to apply for those for a while, so hopefully not.

But the absolute worst repercussion of my short life of crime is that Mom’s brand-new husband (it feels weird to call Jason my stepfather) pulled some strings and arranged for me to complete my community service in the town where he (and now Mom) lives, Cherrybridge. Away from Nani, away from my friends, and away from Toronto—where I’ve lived my whole life.

“I don’t understand why she’s forcing me to go to Cherrybridge,” I say, flopping onto the floral bedspread in the spare bedroom of my grandparents’ house, where I’ve been living since Mom’s wedding. Nani is helping me pack up my stuff because Mom’s driving down from Cherrybridge to get me in the morning. “She promised I could stay here in Toronto with you when she moved in with Jason.”

Nani lets out a soft sigh. “I know, Meera, but she’s your mother. She wants to keep you close so you won’t get into trouble again.” Nani folds a T-shirt and places it into my suitcase. “Don’t forget your sweaters and blouses.”

I get up and head to the closet. “I’m not going to get into trouble again! I’ve learned my lesson now. The curse wins… I’ll die single.” I take all my sweaters down from the shelf and start refolding them. “You said if I dated before I turned seventeen, the curse would ruin my life. And I waited! Plus, I did all that research, and bought the necklace, and even learned mantras!” I sigh. I didn’t break any rules. I took extra precautions.

Nani knew about my avoid-curse spreadsheet. She even gave me some suggestions to add to it. “I don’t know why it happened, sweetie. I thought you’d be fine too. The curse always hits girls before they turn seventeen. Your mother was sixteen when she got pregnant, I was sixteen when I tried to run away, your aunt—”

“I know the stories, Nani.” I’ve been hearing them my whole life.

The curse started when my great-great-grandmother, then a teenager, pulled a gun on her fiancé to try to escape her wedding. The dude’s uncle was a witch doctor, and he cursed her and all of her female descendants with “lifelong problems” if they were with a boy before they turned seventeen.

And the curse has been consistent. Nani apparently almost ran away with a clown when she was in high school (that’s not hyperbole—the guy was literally a clown with the circus), but Nani’s parents interjected and sent her to Nairobi, where she met Nanabapa. And my mother’s disgrace was getting pregnant with me when she was sixteen and then being abandoned when the “sperm donor” booked a one-way ticket to India the day after she told him. The only women in my extended family who’ve escaped the curse did so by waiting until they were seventeen before they went on a date—or even spoke to anyone they were romantically into.

“Maybe it was because you were born premature?” Nani wonders aloud. “Technically your seventeenth birthday should have been six weeks later.”

I groan, dropping the pink cardigan I was folding. “So my entire life is ruined because of a cosmic technicality? I’m an honor student—I’m supposed to graduate valedictorian and get scholarships. I’m not a juvenile delinquent.” I pause, worrying my lip. “How am I going to get into the BEAD program now?”

I’ve known pretty much since I was thirteen that I want to be an architect one day, and have been planning to apply in grade twelve to an architecture mentorship program through the University of Toronto called BEAD, for “BIPOC Emerging Architects and Designers.” I’ll get paired with a real architecture student, go to lectures on campus, and do a real architecture project assessed by a professor before I even finish high school. It’s pretty competitive, but to help my application stand out, this summer I was supposed to work for a local interior designer that my friend Adanna knows.

But now I’ll be in Cherrybridge.

Is there any point in applying to BEAD anymore, without relevant work experience? Or with a trespassing-and-mischief charge on my record?

“Your life isn’t ruined, sweetie,” Nani says, sitting on the bed and patting the space next to her. I sit and put my head on her shoulder, and immediately feel a little better. I’m going to miss seeing Nani every day. Why would Mom separate me from the only family member that really gets me?

“It’s one summer,” Nani says. “Yes, you will have more problems now because of the curse, but it’s nothing that hard work and guidance from your family can’t manage. Look at me. My life wasn’t completely ruined because of my mistakes as a teenager. And even your mother—she’s been so blessed! She’s married to a successful man now and lives in a huge house. We struggled because of the curse, but we’re not ruined.”

I sit up straight. There’s a way to manage the curse? “What kind of guidance?”

Nani takes my hand. “If you want to date a boy again, get your mother’s approval first, no matter how old you are. My parents approved of Nanabapa, just like we approved of Jason. Be good—no more breaking rules. Don’t lie, and work hard too. You’re the smartest, best-behaved girl this family has ever seen. You can get through this.”

I raise one eyebrow. “Even as a grown woman I’ll need my family’s approval to date?” Does my mother believe this? She’s always talking about women’s rights and feminism. Asking for permission was never Mom’s style.

Nani shakes her head. “This is to help you, sweetheart. Your family only wants the best for you.”

Mom certainly has a funny way of showing it. What’s best for me is to stay in the city with Nani and my friends.

I sigh. “It doesn’t matter anyway. I’m not planning to date ever again. Getting into BEAD, then into the U of T architecture program, is all I care about.”

The door opens. It’s Nanabapa, and he doesn’t look happy, not that he ever does. “Why are you just sitting there? Meera, your mother will be here to pick you up in the morning. This room needs to be back to normal by then. Vacuum and dust, too.”

“I know. I will,” I say.

He’s still scowling. “I expected more of you, Meera. You’ve turned into your mother.” Nanabapa leaves, keeping the door wide open.

“That’s the most he’s spoken to me since Mom brought me back from court,” I say to Nani. My grandfather can be strict, but for the most part he leaves me alone, so I’ve never minded living with him. It’s worth it to be with Nani. I really don’t understand Nani and Nanabapa’s relationship, though. They’re nothing alike.

She smiles and pats my hand. “Don’t worry about him, sweetheart. Keep wearing your necklace and be good. I have no doubt in my heart that you’re going to accomplish all of your dreams, despite the curse.”

I put my head back onto Nani’s shoulder. I’m not as confident as she is, but I am determined. I am not going to let Gabe Bautista, my mother, or this evil curse get in my way.]]> 08 02 Praise for The Bad Boyfriend Curse

Some spirits never leave.

When a new family moves into the creepy old house across the street, sixth-grader Flora finds her wish for a best-best friend has come true. Her new neighbor Mac is sweet and charismatic. With Mac by her side, Flora feels like the upcoming school year will be a fresh start for her—no more anxious or klutzy Flora!

But despite their new friendship, not all is perfect. Mac fits in better with their classmates than Flora ever did. Mac’s family seems to be holding back a big secret, something about a mysterious ex-best friend named Daphne who Mac won’t ever talk about. And Mac’s little brother, Danny, gives Flora the creeps. Strange things keep happening whenever he’s around.

Is Flora’s mind playing tricks? Or could it be that Mac’s house is as haunted as it looks?]]> 13 02 New York Times bestseller The Bellwoods Game and Remember Me, Daphne.]]> 23 02 Thirteen Bly Street was an old house. The haunted ones usually are.

It sat across from Flora’s home, looking terribly large and unfriendly. Thick ivy and shadows hung from the wraparound porch, and the turret loomed over the neighborhood like something out of a fairy tale—the old kind, from before happy endings. A wrought iron fence encircled the house, conjuring images of cemeteries in Flora’s mind. Tangles of roses twined between the bars, dotted with delicate yellow blooms.

The spookiest part of the house was the attic window. It was round like an eye and peered out over the neighborhood, as if keeping watch. Flora often imagined the house was on the lookout for someone who might come inside and call it home once more. Because no one lived in a house like Thirteen Bly. At least, not for long. People had tried. They usually lasted just long enough to mow back the unruly lawn and mend a porch step or two. Some had even attempted to trim the overgrown rosebushes (but ultimately decided against it after their first encounter with the sizeable thorns hidden among the dark leaves). In the end, it didn’t matter how long the people stayed; they always left.

It’s June of 1921 and best friends Mae, Lark, Brigid, and Claret have plans for the perfect summer. Between riding their bikes to the enchanted lake and decorating their fort for its resident ghost, the girls are a busy bunch. But when they discover a door in the forest floor that leads to an alternate world with purple skies and fearsome creatures, everything takes a turn for the worse.

Someone else has already been through that door, and it’s triggered something incredibly dangerous. Maybe deadly.

Back in Blight Harbor, strange disappearances are taking place. The most worrisome being that of Brigid’s cousin, who has been spending an awful lot of time with the unusual and untrustworthy John Jeffrey Pope. As the girls uncover the eerie world that lives right beneath their feet, will they find their missing friend, or will the most treacherous man in Blight Harbor get to them first?]]> 13 02 The Clackity, Bram Stoker Award winner The Nighthouse Keeper, The Loneliest Place, and Pennies. She credits her love of words to her parents and to the public library that was walking distance from her childhood home.

“Another door?” I asked. It was interesting but not unusual. It certainly wasn’t the kind of thing we had to tell hushed secrets about. Doors popped up in Blight Harbor from time to time. In fact, for both me and Lark, it was the family business: Lark’s papa found them and my daddy covered them up for safety. Every now and again someone new to town—or someone with too much curiosity and not enough sense—got the notion to sneak through one of those doors to explore the world on the other side. I related an awful lot to those curious folks, but the problem was, most of them never made their way back to tell us what they’d discovered. Or what had discovered them.

“Yeah, but something else, too. You all need to see it so we can decide what to do.” Lark looked from me to Claret to Brigid, probably trying to size up our appetite for adventure that bright June morning.

“Are you going to get us in trouble?” Claret asked, pulling the collar of her cloak up around her pale jaw. It was a reasonable question to ask Lark. Claret was a lot of mostly wonderful things, but she could also be as levelheaded as an adult and sometimes had to be nudged into shenanigans. Not that we ever had to nudge her all that hard.

“No. Maybe.” Lark’s small size, her big eyes, and the freckles across her light brown face were a disguise. She looked innocent enough to fool most people, but she was always on the verge of finding mischief if she wasn’t already in the middle of making some.

“Lark McCreary, I’m not getting a punishment the first real day of summer,” I told her. Lark’s ideas had landed us all in hot water more than once (but they were usually enough fun to make the punishment a price we were willing to pay). Like that time we’d found a nest of little garter snakes and managed to get yarn leashes on them. We’d brought them home as pets, but it turned out snakes only wear leashes for as long as they want to and are pretty good at hiding in kitchens and sock drawers and beds and whatnot.

“Mae Von Rathe,” my most troublemaking friend said, “there won’t be a punishment if we don’t get caught. Are you girly girls coming or not?”

“I’m not a girly girl,” huffed Brigid, which made us laugh a little. With her raspberry-colored curls and skin like the pink inside of a seashell—not to mention her tendency to read books with lots of kissing and her refusal to wear anything but dresses even on days with no school or church—she was the girliest of us all.

“Fine,” Lark sighed. “Brigid isn’t girly and Mae isn’t a stick in the mud and Claret isn’t going to find a way to make everything feel like homework. Are you all happy? Can we go?”

“Where?” Claret asked. We were in the protective shade of the dense woods. I knew she’d avoid going out into the sun a little longer if she could.

Lark knew it too. “Halfway between here and Brigid’s, and a little deeper in the forest. Lots of shade.”

After pausing a moment, Claret agreed. “Fine.”

“Aren’t we going to the fort? I brought some new things for it,” said Brigid. Our fort was only a few yards away but so well hidden in the trees and brambles that it might as well have been invisible.

“After,” said Lark.

My friends all looked at me. I nodded, making the call.

“Let’s go, then,” Lark said.

We followed her as she made her own path through the woods.

As we walked, I wondered at how I always ended up casting the final vote. We’d all grown up together—friends for longer than I could remember—and it had always been that way. Why did the others look to me to make decisions? I wasn’t as strong or insightful as Claret. I wasn’t as well-read or fearless as Lark. And I wasn’t as beautiful or as kind as Brigid. It was almost remarkable how unremarkable I was. But somehow I always ended up deciding. It wasn’t a question I’d ever asked out loud. Maybe my friends hadn’t caught on to how ordinary I was, and I certainly didn’t want to hang a light over it, because I knew that was going to change. The world was full of adventures to have and discoveries to make, and in my head, I was already exploring it all—I just hadn’t done it yet.

I pushed those loud thoughts away and focused instead on our trek through the trees—something I always enjoyed no matter the reason. The deeper we got, the better the air smelled, cool and damp and earthy. That morning the woods smelled like adventure.

Brigid lifted the hem of her dress off the forest floor and Claret kept her hood down, not needing it in the safety of the thick limbs and leaves (it was direct sunlight that was a problem, owing to the vampire blood she’d inherited). In my boots and overalls, I didn’t have to worry about anything but stumbling over a tree root.

There were no clear paths where we were going, and the walking was slow, but there are worse ways to spend a summer morning than trampling through the forest. We’d spent our share of days doing just that.

At an especially thick clump of trees, Brigid started to ask how much farther we’d have to go, when Lark shushed her (which was unusual, because it was often Lark who needed shushing).

Claret looked at me from under raised eyebrows.

I shrugged. I had no idea what Lark had found or what she was getting us into or why we needed to be quiet about it.

We walked around the thick growth of trees, and there it was.

A new door had indeed opened up. It mostly looked like a regular hole in the ground, maybe seven feet across. What gave it away was that it was perfectly round, like it had been sliced out of the earth by a giant cookie cutter, and the emptiness that remained was pitch-black. Lark had explained that for folks like her papa, the doors tugged at a person like they had a string right in the center of their chest. Lark could feel it a little sometimes. I never did, no matter how much I wished I could. The door in the forest floor was bigger than any that had been found recently, at least the ones my daddy had told me about, and that was definitely enough to make it kind of interesting.

But there was more.

Secured to one of the giant pine trees a couple of yards from the hole was what I first took to be a bunch of rope. Someone had thrown a few leafy branches on top of the coil in a half-hearted attempt to hide it, probably not expecting anyone to come across the tangled heap.

When Lark stepped silently toward the pile and pulled up a handful to show us, I saw that it wasn’t exactly a rope, but a rope ladder. And a really long one, judging by the size of the pile on the ground.

Claret scanned the forest around us, and I knew she was looking and listening for any sign of company. It wasn’t just the sun that affected my friend—all her senses were a little better than the average person (who usually didn’t have even a tiny bit of vampire blood in their veins).

Brigid inched a little closer to my side, worry radiating from her.

I had eyes only for the door. Someone had found a new one. And instead of reporting it, they planned to use it. It was the only explanation for the rope ladder.

Jealousy ran through me like bright electricity. I wanted nothing more than to explore—to climb mountains and walk the bottom of the ocean and sail to both poles on wooden ships. And maybe even more than all that, I wanted to meet the ghosts of those who had died exploring those places. I wanted to learn all the languages I could and talk to those fallen adventurers, hear their stories and write them down so they’d no longer be lost to time. But all those dreams were miles and years away. There were plenty of ghosts to talk to in my own hometown (Blight Harbor was one of the most haunted towns in the nation, according to just about everyone). And there was plenty of exploring to be done right on the other side of Blight Harbor—a whole uncharted world. Only it was completely and totally off limits. To everyone. What I knew about the place beyond the doors was just from stories told and rumors spread to keep the curious away.

I stepped with careful feet to the edge of the hole.

Brigid hissed at me, but I waved her off.

I got down on my knees. I ran my hands around the inner edge of the chasm, smooth like polished stone, then reached down. My arm disappeared at the elbow into the black like it had been cut off. I didn’t dare reach farther for fear of toppling in. If that were to happen, chances were good I’d never find my way back out. Even I knew it was a bad idea to fall in unprepared and unarmed.

Anything could be on the other side.

But that didn’t mean I couldn’t take a look.

I lowered myself to my stomach and gestured for Claret.

She nodded and joined me on the ground.

Claret grabbed both my legs at the ankles, and I pulled myself headfirst over the edge of the hole.

I bent at the waist, half of my body lowered into the dark.

Inside, it was black. Blacker than any moonless night or windowless room. There was the damp earth smell, stronger now, but also something else. Like roses, but sharper and more dangerous, a familiar smell that came with all the doors. The air wasn’t cool or warm or anything else. It just was. I couldn’t see anything in any direction as the hungry black swallowed my vision and pushed the summer light away. I was grateful for Claret’s strong grip on my legs as I reached down into the hole as far as I could, my fingertips grazing the glassy wall, feeling for the other side. It went farther than I could grasp. This wasn’t the first door I’d investigated, not by a long shot, but it was the deepest. I reached, stretching as far as my body would let me. My heart thrummed in my chest. I was so close to getting through to the place beyond the door—I could feel it, a gentle tug on my bones.

Even though I couldn’t see it, I knew what waited on the other side. Part of it, anyway: A landscape of black grass and purple sky with a big, dark sun hanging over it all. But that was just the start, just the stuff that was always there, according to folks who claimed to know. On the other side of the doors scattered around Blight Harbor was a world we’d only just begun to explore, and I was determined to be one of the first to really investigate it. To map it out and maybe even understand it. My pulse was pounding in my temples—partly because I’d been upside down for a while, but mostly because I was thrilled to be this close to adventure.

I lifted an arm and waved back toward Claret to lower me. For a few seconds nothing happened. I could almost see my friend’s face as she thought it through, deciding if it was a good idea. Then I felt her squeeze my ankles twice. She was telling me no.

Dang it.

Claret pulled, and I came up out of the hole and back onto solid ground. Even the dim light of the forest made me squint after the perfect black of the chasm. Stars danced in front of my eyes, but that was just because I’d been hanging wrong side up in the dark.

“It’s deep,” I told them softly. “Real deep.”

Claret glanced at Brigid (whose arms were crossed tight over her chest as she tried to chew a hole through her bottom lip), then whispered to me, “She’s nervous. And I might have heard someone. Far away, but still…”

“Could just be the boys roughhousing?” I asked loudly enough for Brigid to hear too.

Claret shook her head, and that was good enough for me.

“Let’s go.” Lark jerked her head back the way we came.

We started retracing our steps. Quieter now. And faster, too.

We didn’t need to talk about what we did next. We split up. We’d meet at the fort, but we’d each take a different route to get there. If any of the neighborhood boys had followed us, we’d make it as tough as we could for them to find our hideout.]]> 44 02 Coraline and Katherine Arden.]]> 08 02 The Clackity in this imaginative prequel set 100 years prior, telling a story that beautifully balances fantastical and frightening elements with a wonderfully nuanced and heartfelt portrayal of friendship.

A cricket-loving Pakistani girl stifled by patriarchal expectations disguises herself as a boy to get a job to pay her sister’s medical bills in this “lyrical action-packed debut full of determination and grit” (Reem Faruqi, award-winning author of Golden Girl).

Living with her aunt and patriarchal uncle in Karachi, Pakistan, recently orphaned twelve-year-old Aarzu detests the way she and her younger sister get treated like extras and excluded from all the fun stuff. Aarzu dreams of playing cricket, just like her male cousins and the neighborhood boys in the streets, but her uncle will hear nothing of it. According to him, girls ought to master the art of making round rotis, not play sports.

When her sister requires urgent medical treatment but finances are tight, Aarzu decides to earn money herself. She hears of a part-time job at a bungalow near her school—but it’s only open to boys. Aarzu has no choice but to disguise herself as a turban-wearing boy to get the gig.

Now, Aarzu must find a way to balance school, work, chores, and secret cricket practices—all without burning out or getting caught by her uncle—or else her dreams of making the girls cricket team and her quest to save her sister will crumble around her.]]> 13 02 Aarzu All Around.

Aarzu All Around

By Marzieh Abbas

About the Book

Twelve-year-old Aarzu is passionate about playing cricket in Pakistan. After losing their parents in an earthquake, Aarzu and her younger sister live under the strict watch of a controlling uncle who believes girls belong on the sidelines. Longing to play cricket like boys, and desperate to help her ailing sister, Aarzu secretly takes on a job meant exclusively for boys. As she juggles school, chores, and secret cricket practice, Aarzu must avoid being discovered, or she’ll lose everything: her sister’s health, her shot at a girls’ cricket team, and her dream of a life beyond limits. At the same time, she struggles to mend her broken friendship with her once supportive best friend, who is now giving her the silent treatment.

Discussion Questions

1. In what ways is Aarzu’s life different from the lives of her male cousins? How does it make her feel about herself? How might your life be different if you were a different sex? How could this affect your experiences at school, at home, or within your family?

2. Aarzu’s Khaloo, her uncle, has strong opinions about what girls should and shouldn’t do. How do you feel about that? Is it fair to have different rules based on gender?

3. Are you familiar with any women in history who challenged gender roles? Who were they, and what obstacles did they face while pursuing their goals?

4. Aarzu must choose between spending money on her sister’s treatment or buying cricket gear for herself. Why do you think it’s important to help others, even when we have to give up something we care about? Besides money, what are some other ways we can support or care for people in need?

5. Do you think girls and women still face unfair treatment today, like Aarzu does in the novel? Does this happen only in some countries or all around the world, including the United States? Provide examples.

6. What sacrifices does Aarzu make to help her sister? What helps her go from feeling afraid and sad to becoming determined to earn money for the treatment?

7. Aarzu’s mom used to say when people “stay close / for long enough, / they rub off on each other.” (p. 78) Aarzu finds herself agreeing with her mother. Why is it important to choose friends wisely?

8. Aarzu and Nazia were best friends, but they grew apart. What could have happened if Nazia had told Aarzu how she felt? How could they have saved their friendship with better communication?

9. In what ways was Aarzu also unfair to Nazia? How can you maintain healthy boundaries and talk to friends if you feel ignored or left out? How would you try to resolve a conflict?

10. At the end of the book, Aarzu apologizes to her friend. Why do you think saying sorry matters? Why can it be hard to apologize when you know you made a mistake?

11. Playing cricket helps Aarzu feel calm and deal with tough things in her life. Describe something you do, like a hobby or activity, that helps you feel more relaxed or peaceful.

12. Zoya’s family and Aarzu’s family keep track of different things. Have you ever thought about some of these things they pay attention to? If your family struggled financially, what would you want others to understand about your life?

13. Aarzu wears a hijab (head covering) as part of her identity. How might hijabs help empower the women who wear them?

14. When Aarzu feels nervous, she scratches her leg. What are some habits or things you do when you’re feeling stressed or anxious? What are some ways we can help one another feel better during tough or stressful times?

15. Why does Aarzu journal? Why might it be helpful to write your thoughts in a journal? What would you write about?

16. Aarzu feels stronger and more at peace when she prays and learns about inspiring Muslim women. What things do you do—such as praying, reading, drawing, or talking to someone—that help you feel calm or confident when you’re feeling stressed or worried?

Extension Activities

1. Poetry: Write a poem using the theme “If I Were a Girl/Boy” using one of the poetry styles from the book. Reflect on how gender might shape someone’s experiences.

2. Letter to a Trailblazer: Choose a woman from history who challenged gender barriers, and write a heartfelt letter thanking her for her courage and achievements. Reflect on how her efforts helped shape the world today and inspired you personally.

3. Journaling Party: Plan a fun and creative journaling party where students personalize and decorate their notebooks with stickers, markers, and washi tape. After decorating, guide them to write personal goals that support both academic growth (book smart) and everyday life skills (street smart). You can also include prompts that encourage emotional expression and self-awareness, helping students reflect on their feelings and build confidence.

4. Identity Collage: Aarzu describes wearing a hijab as an important part of her identity. Create a collage that represents your own identity, including things like family, culture, hobbies, traditions, clothing, and more. Then present your collage to your class or group, explaining why you chose those images.

A “thrilling, alliterative…dryly comedic” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) picture book about a quiet-loving bear who accidentally invents the world’s first roller coaster, perfect for fans of Ryan T. Higgins and Jon Klassen.

The world’s first roller coaster
was invented almost entirely by mistake.

Bear calls it the Honey Runner and builds it as a quick and easy way to get to his beehives. It is a bit steep. The corners take some getting used to. And it is way too fast.

So imagine Bear’s surprise when a gaggle of curious neighbors ask to try it out. Then another. And another. Before Bear knows it, foxes fly, squirrels squeal, and hedgehogs howl through the dips and turns. Bear cannot understand it. His invention is incredibly fast and not at all fun… Why is everyone lining up for more?]]> 13 02 Incredibly Fast and Not at All Fun.

Put a nickel in the jukebox, assuming you can locate a jukebox, and that you remember what a nickel is. Here's legendary Beach Boy Brian Wilson singing lead and ten-part harmonies on “Speed Turtle.” The incomparable Neil Sedaka crooning “Your Nose.” B. B. King brings you a wistful “One Shoe Blues,” Gerry and the Pacemakers offer “Mersey Lullaby,” and Broadway great Patti LuPone sings—what else—the “Rabbit Tango.” And then there’s the hit single from Boynton’s Your Personal Penguin sung by the impossibly cute Davy Jones of The Monkees. I mean jeepers, even Sha Na Na is here.

And OH! The book! Boynton has filled it with all things 50s and 60s. And, well, golly, it’s so happy and colorful and just terrific, Mister!

When Sydney heads to a sleepover birthday party at a wildlife center, she’s sure it’s a terrible idea. Not only because she’ll be staying in a creepy cabin surrounded by wolf enclosures, but because she wasn’t actually invited to the party. Instead, her mom asked Ari’s mom if Sydney could join, and now she’s crashing the event with a group of kids she barely knows. Ugh.

It turns out she isn’t the only party crasher when a strange, wolf-like creature bounds out of the woods and throws the night into chaos. In the rush to escape, Sydney hits her head, is knocked out cold…and wakes up back in the car, headed to the party.

Sydney realizes she’s living the same night again and again and again. Why is the evening stuck in a loop, and what is the creature prowling around the center? And—most importantly—how can she break the loop and finally see the morning?]]> 13 02 23 02 INSIDE HER IMAGINATION, SYDNEY VOLKE lived through the same night nine hundred different times. In each scenario she played out, the sleepover birthday party she was supposed to arrive at in five minutes would end in catastrophe. The worst part was that she hadn’t been personally invited to the party. No, her mom had gotten the invitation for her, and she’d done so all because she was trying to be nice and help Sydney make new friends. But Sydney didn’t want new friends. She liked the two she had just fine.

Mom turned backward in the front passenger seat of their car, interrupting Sydney’s scattered thoughts. A halo of dyed blond hair frizzed around her face, as if she’d run her fingers through it on the drive. “I’m glad I was able to get you an invite for this party.”

I’m not. I hate this so much, Sydney thought.

“Can we hurry?” asked Dianette, who sat to Sydney’s left. Dianette was older than Sydney by only ten months, and right now, she flipped a page in her Dungeons & Dragons book, oblivious to Sydney’s irritation.

“I’d rather we didn’t,” said Sydney.

“I have to be at Cass’s in fifteen minutes, and it’s a twenty-minute drive from here.”

Their parents were dropping Sydney off before bringing Dianette to a friend’s house for a Dungeons & Dragons session. As dungeon master, Dianette was in charge of the whole campaign—a fact Dianette was proud of but that Sydney’s two friends thought was super weird.

“We’ll get there when we get there,” said their mom.

Their dad turned up the radio, and immediately both he and Mom started singing along to some oldies song. The car slowed and took a left onto a long gravel drive, passing a brown, iron sign that read, WILDLIFE SCIENCE CENTER: The Wild Science of Saving Lives. Panic slipped up Sydney’s sternum and into her throat. Turns out, she didn’t have five minutes before she arrived. She had about two seconds.

She knew “of” Ari, the girl whose party she was heading to, but she couldn’t help but know “of” everyone in school when there were only 112 kids in the seventh grade. Everyone had gone to the same school since first grade, which meant that friend groups had been solidified for… well, the last seven years. There hadn’t been any place for Sydney to belong when she’d moved in last September.

Not so secretly, her mom was hoping that eighth grade would be the year that Sydney would find a solid friend group. That was half the reason for the party invite. The second half was that her mom loved making friends herself, and she’d always wanted to know Ari’s mom better.

The science center was located in Stacy, Minnesota, just twenty minutes from Sydney’s house, but an hour from Minneapolis, where she’d lived up until a year ago. She’d thought last summer would be the worst one of her life, with moving from a city of skyscrapers to a town of flat fields. This summer, though, was turning out to be even worse, beginning with this party.

“We’re here!” Sydney’s dad announced. He pulled the car to a stop at the end of the gravel road, right before a tall, gated fence.

“Is it closed?” Sydney asked hopefully.

“Nope!” Her mom held up her phone and pointed to a message. “Jae Park, Ari’s aunt, messaged and said you can come in. She’s walking through the park to come and meet you. Now, out you go.”

Mom opened her car door, and at once, a sound slipped inside—wolves howling, their voices climbing on top of one another’s as they sang into the dusk. The eerie wails made Sydney feel the same as when she’d visited the ocean with her family and had gotten stuck beneath a wave for a moment too long, as if she couldn’t breathe.

“What a beautiful sound,” Mom murmured. She stood outside the car, clearly waiting for Sydney to join her.

Sydney hauled her body out of the seat, dragging her backpack and a birthday present after her. A blast of summertime humidity fogged up her sunglasses, made her armpits sweat, and glued her jeans shorts to her thighs. Far above, the sky shifted, turning a dusty lilac that spoke to the increasingly late hour. Past the fence was a squat building, as well as the fenced enclosures that held the wildlife animals she did not want to meet. As if punctuating that thought, the wolf howls rose in pitch and sent prickling goose bumps running over her arms. It made her body forget, for the briefest of moments, that it was stiflingly hot out.

“I’m sorry we can’t walk you in. Remember that Ari’s aunt is in charge. Listen to the adults.” Mom took hold of Sydney’s shoulders and brought her in close for a hug. Into her ear, she said, “Remember to stay open to new opportunities and experiences. These kids might be really nice. You might surprise yourself and have more fun than I know you’re currently expecting.”

I won’t, Sydney thought, but she pulled away and plastered a smile to her face so her mom wouldn’t know how miserable she was. It would only make her mom worry, and the last thing she wanted was for someone to worry about her.

“MOM,” shouted Dianette.

“We’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. Nine a.m. sharp!” Mom shut herself back into the car and, through the smudged window, gave Sydney a happy little wave.

Sydney gave a limp, grumpy little wave back. Nine p.m. to nine a.m. was twelve whole hours for everything to go wrong.

Pressure built in Sydney’s chest, a feeling she well knew. It expanded in her lungs and surged against her rib cage and felt like a suffocating burp she couldn’t release. She considered her choices: go to the birthday party and be humiliated because everyone knew she’d received a pity invitation, or run into the woods and disappear to live as a hermit. Somehow, the second option sounded more appealing.

As she watched her family drive away, she realized her hands were clenched into fists, fingernails etching little moon marks into her palms. She forced herself to stretch out her fingers and take a slow, steadying breath in an attempt to clear out the gross feelings that suffused her body. She turned to enter the grounds, but as she did, her eyes caught the shape of a person crouched in the woods to the left of the gate. They blended into the foliage, squatting in the shadows of long-limbed trees and razor-leafed bushes.

Unmoving. Alert. Staring at her.

Sydney stood unmoving, alert, staring back at them, and as she did, a thick, rotten scent rose on the breeze. The person shifted. What had been hidden by foliage came into view—an extended snout, wiry hair that feathered their shoulders, claws that protruded from oddly jointed fingers. The creature’s marble-black eyes fixed on her own. It leaned forward, no longer crouching on hind legs but bending over onto all fours, the stance predatory and alien.

It was definitely not a person!

A jolt of fear launched Sydney into motion. She grabbed the latch of the gate, ripped it open, and threw herself inside. With one swipe, she locked the fence back up, then bolted toward the building before her.]]> 08 02 <I>School Library Journal</I> 6/26/26 08 02 <I>Kirkus Reviews</I> April 15, 2026 08 02 <I>Booklist</I> 6/1/2026 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/af47620f-3fee-4f81-ac1d-b32d00513a93 01 Aladdin SIMO009 Aladdin 01 01 Aladdin SIMO009 Aladdin 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 03 1 in 03 25.4 mm 08 0.865 lb 08 13.84 oz 08 392.36 gr 06 15 9781665981880 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 36 02 42.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 42.99 0.00 20260719 02 49.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 49.99 0.00 20260719 Aladdin AU 01 20261110 9781665983426 02 02 1665983426 03 9781665983426 13 2025023916 14 19781665983423 15 9781665983426 11 BB B221 Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Daisy Helps with the Dress</TitleText> 01 233990146 1 A01 Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich Rhuday-Perkovich, Olugbemisola Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich The Hero Next Door.

Daisy loves helping her family and she knows the best kind of helpers never wait to be asked. That’s why she doesn’t ask before adding finishing touches to her family’s special reused, re-tried, remixed things, like a leftover broccoli topping for Auntie Fontie’s cakes or a good bath for Nana DJ’s “back-in-the-day, rusty, dusty” vintage albums—much to their chagrin.

But what Daisy wants most is to help give her cousin Simone’s recycled wedding dress a little razzle dazzle. She knows just what the vintage dress needs: a little glitter here, a few stickers there to give the dress some flair.

But Daisy’s cousin Simone and the rest of the family are not so happy with her decorations. Can Daisy make things right and help find Simone a new re-lived, re-loved wedding dress?]]> 13 02 The Hero Next Door.

From award-winning author Margarita Engle comes a “spellbinding” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) novel in verse about first love, hidden cultures, and ancestral connections that follows a teen’s journey to uncover her late grandmother’s roots in Cuba.

Just before she was transformed
into an invisible spirit
my grandmother whispered her last wishes
into my ear:

Sprinkle my ashes in a patch of girasoles,
wait patiently, harvest the seeds,
fly to la isla, find el jardín,
plant las semillas.
Then and only then—
read my diaries.

Evamar has arrived in Cuba with her abuela’s ashes and her mother’s warnings: Don’t talk politics, boil the tap water before you drink, y por favor absolutamente, don’t fall in love. But then she meets Río, a captivating drummer whose music and presence she can’t ignore.

Río bears his own scars, separated from his family in the United States. As their bond deepens, Evamar discovers an ancestral treasure that could change her future—and the lives of millions of Caribbeans.]]> 13 02 Rima’s Rebellion; Your Heart, My Sky; With a Star in My Hand; The Surrender Tree, a Newbery Honor winner; The Lightning Dreamer; and Wild Dreamers, a Pura Belpré Young Adult Author Honor book.

Nothings brings family together like attempted murder.

There are three things Jayshree Devi can count on happening at her annual family reunion: 1) her cousins will forget she exists, 2) her aunts will try to set her up, and 3) her uncles will get into a fight. What she doesn’t expect? An accident that lands her grandmother in a coma, throwing the family—and their matriarch’s sizeable fortune—into chaos.

When Jay discovers Grand Mom’s “accident” might not have been so accidental after all, she’ll have to dig through decades of secrets to find the truth. With the help of her (annoyingly perky) cousins and one of their (annoyingly hot) friends, Jay finds herself knee-deep in a mystery that’s even more tangled than her family tree.

But the closer Jay gets to answers, the closer she gets to finding her place amongst the relatives who once felt so distant. With Grand Mom’s life and fortune hanging in the balance, can Jay save her family and maybe hook up with a hottie while she’s at it?]]> 13 02 Into the Sunken City and My Killer Family Reunion.]]> 08 02 <I>Kirkus Reviews</I> 08 02 Into the Sunken City) injects Knives Out theatricality into a simultaneously tense and humorous mystery. . . effervescent characters, dynamic interactions, and a dash of frothy romance ensure that spirits remain high throughout.

In 1932, after years of fundraising and flurries of letters back and forth, an archaeological team from Princeton University gathered in Antioch, Syria. They expected to find sculptures, frescos, palace walls, and busts. Instead, all across this ancient Roman metropolis, they stumbled upon one site after another of extraordinary mosaic treasure, incomparable in number, quality, and historical significance.

There were some three hundred of them in all, glories of color and design, stones and pieces of glass heaped up into spectacular images. Many of them were vast, room-sized tableaus, commissioned by wealthy Antiochenes for their villas. They depict banquets, drinking contests, olive harvests; lions, leopards, peacocks, and gazelles; legends, scenes from mythology, Cupid and Psyche, Narcissus and Dionysus. Though dated to early in the Christian era, they are unabashedly pagan; the animals and plants they depict are so life-like scholars can often identify them by species. A vast, collectively obsessive outpouring of industry and effort, art and artisanship, they stand for beauty, the drive to make it, and the human need to have it as part of life.

The eight-year dig at Antioch was an astonishing human enterprise, one that survived Depression-era financial downturns, interpersonal conflict, and the looming threat of World War II. Gained were mosaics that ultimately ended up in museums around the world—Harvard University, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, The Baltimore Museum of Art, New York’s Metropolitan, Paris’s Louvre, and more than a dozen others. But while an archaeological triumph, shedding new light on the ancient world, it also raised profound questions about the nature and progress of art. Who has a right to a work of art—the country of origin or the archaeologists who dig it up? Is art more interesting for its beauty, its history, or the craft and intelligence that goes into its making? What elevates a craftsperson into an artist? Robert Kanigel tackles these questions and more, breathing life into this landmark adventure of intellect and discovery.]]> 13 02 The Man Who Knew Infinity, Eyes on the Street, The One Best Way, Hearing Homer’s Song, and six other nonfiction books—in biography, history, history of science, and memoir. He has been a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and a recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar award as well as a Guggenheim fellowship.

What is it about giant pandas that makes them nearly impossible for humans to resist? Brandie Smith, director of the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, DC, and a true expert in giant pandas, gives readers a front row seat to these miracles of nature, these bamboo-devouring carnivores, describing what it’s like to feed them, train them, cherish them, and help them survive.

Pandas, like people, have strong individual personalities, quirks, habits, likes, and dislikes. Through Smith’s eyes, we get to meet several generations of pandas who have called the National Zoo home. Smith addresses many misconceptions about giant pandas, including surprising truths about panda biology, evolution, and the challenges involved with taking care of them. Giant pandas have a unique reproductive style that has worked perfectly for millions of years in the wild but has made it challenging for them to respond to climate change and habitat destruction, and makes propagating them in zoos extremely difficult.

With chapters on raising baby pandas, the diplomacy involved in exchanging pandas with China, and the ongoing quest to keep giant pandas from going extinct, In the Company of Pandas is the ultimate guide to these irresistible creatures and why we love them, written by one of the world’s leading experts.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/990a2913-118a-4315-a8c3-b3e90038ca19 01 Atria Books SIMO237 Atria Books 01 01 Atria Books SIMO237 Atria Books 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 03 0.745 in 03 18.923 mm 08 1.06 lb 08 16.96 oz 08 480.81 gr 27 15 9781668027738 06 15 9781668027776 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 20 02 59.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260719 02 69.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 69.99 0.00 20260719 Atria Books AU 01 20261110 9781668030400 02 02 1668030403 03 9781668030400 14 19781668030407 15 9781668030400 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Gun Man Jackson Swagger</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Gun Man Jackson Swagger</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle>A Western</Subtitle> 01 203722883 1 A01 Stephen Hunter Hunter, Stephen Stephen Hunter The Washington Post, where he won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism, he has also published two collections of film criticism and a nonfiction work, American Gunfight.

In the frying pan of a drought-scorched 1890s Southwest, an old man shows up at the region’s only prosperous spread, the Callahan Ranch, seeking work. Jack is flinty, shrewd, tough, and a natural with a gun. As an incentive to be taken on at his age, he shows the foreman an uncanny skill with one of Mr. Winchester’s latest models. He knows a sharpshooter would be valuable to Colonel Callahan and head gun man Tom Voth.

But he has his own mission. Aware that a young cowboy on the ranch has died mysteriously, Jack begins to investigate. He soon realizes that the death and the source of the Callahan wealth are dangerously entwined and that many of the dark forces of the American West are at play on the ranch.

In 1872, a new Japanese government’s first diplomatic delegation to the United States was greeted with rapturous welcome in San Francisco. For over ten days of lavish parties, the city’s elite admired the emissaries’ silk robes and noble bearing and began forging what they expected would be a special relationship between ascendant Pacific nations. Three decades later, a young Japanese immigrant disembarked at the very same waterfront to a different reception. “I was baptized with horse dung,” Nisuke Mitsumori recalled. “This was my very first impression of America.” Mitsumori arrived in the first angry days of America’s war on Japanese immigrants, a populist convulsion that became one of the nation’s darkest episodes of ethnic strife. In the early 1900s, Japanese immigrants faced mob violence and property destruction. Exclusionary laws restricted Japanese immigrants’ rights to own property, vote, and marry outside their race. Tensions intensified until 120,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned in camps during World War II.

The Distance Between Our Names is the story of the early battles over Japanese immigration—the less dramatic, more insidious chapter. Esteemed journalist Paul Richter researched hundreds of memoirs, public records, news reports, and oral histories to deliver an urgent account of immigration history. This highly relevant book is enlivened by intimate stories of the newcomers—high and humble—such as the children banned from public schools, farmers struggling in a system rigged against them, the women who were swindled into marriages resulting in lifetimes of hardship, immigrant leaders battling to forestall punitive laws. Taken together, The Distance Between Our Names is a stunning narrative of resilience and struggle, a gripping story of one community’s brave fight for dignity in the face of savage discrimination.]]> 13 02 Los Angeles Times, he was based in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, DC, and reported from sixty countries.

Award-winning journalist Irin Carmon follows five women in New York City and rural Alabama through an American system that can turn the most ordinary human event—pregnancy—into a fight for your life, your freedom, and your dignity. What happens as these women seek respectful, high-quality medical care for their pregnancies, whether wanted or not, is a uniquely American story, one that also includes a heroic doctor fighting for the better reality that everyone deserves.

Eight months pregnant herself when the Supreme Court allowed states to ban abortion, Carmon spent years reporting what she felt in her bones: that the typical story of pregnancy had been radically incomplete—and that the story is bigger than one court case or one experience of pregnancy. Going beyond the headlines and any one experience or choice, Unbearable illuminates the buried history of American obstetrics, the disappearance of pregnancy care options across the country, and the ever-proliferating laws that treat a fetus as a person and a woman as a vessel.

A profound call to action, “Unbearable exposes the devastating reality: that in today’s America becoming pregnant can mean losing your basic human dignity and autonomy. With meticulous reporting, riveting storytelling, and profound compassion, Carmon reveals how our healthcare system fails women at their most vulnerable moments, and why we must do better” (Hillary Rodham Clinton).]]> 13 02 New York magazine, where she covers gender, law, politics, and more.

“A magnificent book that I was blown away by—the deep reporting, the incisive political analysis, and most of all the stories that Irin tells that moved me to enraged tears.”
—Kate Mann, author of Unshrinking

“A gripping page-turner: revelatory, horrifying, infuriating, sometimes inspirational, always informative….Required reading.”
—Rebecca Steinitz, The Boston Globe

“This disquieting exposé reveals the inadequacy of maternal healthcare in the U.S….Carmon presents a vision of a healthcare system where ‘no matter who you are, or what privileges you enjoy, nothing can guarantee your personal safety or security.’ A passionate and potent wake up call.”

With meticulous reporting, riveting storytelling, and profound compassion, Irin Carmon reveals how our healthcare system fails women at their most vulnerable moments, and why we must do better.”
–Hillary Rodham Clinton]]> 08 02 —Kathleen McBroom, Booklist (starred review)]]> 08 02 Unbearable, Irin Carmon does the urgent work of chronicling the challenges facing America's pregnant people and reproductive healthcare providers as they seek the resources, attention and protections they require. Carmon treats the stories of pregnancy—stories marked by hope, expansion, restriction, grief, fury and love—with tenderness and respect. It shouldn't be so astonishing to read about those laboring to bring forth another generation as fully human and therefore worthy of better policy and more accessible care, but it is. To crib from Carmon's own description of pregnancy itself, Unbearable is by turns euphoric and excruciating, above all a radical call for a brighter and more dignified future for people and their families."
—Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad

 "An inspiring, agonizing, and enraging chronicle of what it means to be pregnant in this America, told with a novelistic eye for detail and texture. A great read."
–Chris Hayes, author of The Sirens’ Call

“In Unbearable, Irin Carmon draws on journalistic rigor, historical insight, and the powerful stories of five women from different walks of life to expose how intensifying fetal protection policies deny women’s autonomy and assault their humanity. With a holistic view of our reproductive lives, she reveals the deep, often overlooked connections between policies that turn pregnant bodies into political battlegrounds. This is essential reading for anyone committed to reproductive justice and building a more humane, compassionate world.”
–Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body and Torn Apart

“Every once in a while, a book comes along that shifts the way we see something we thought we already understood. With intellectual rigor, fierce clarity and uncommon empathy, Unbearable, is one of those books. In the process of writing about the lives of five women in America, Irin Carmon reveals the urgency of understanding every pregnancy as a matter of our politics.”
—Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her and All We Want Is Everything

“Pregnancy and childbearing may be the oldest things human beings do, but Carmon tells a new and bracing story of what pregnancies actually cost those who carry them in a nation that values women very little. Wrenching, deeply reported, and particularly urgent in an era of abortion bans, I wish Unbearable was required reading for every lawmaker, every voter, and every person in America.”
–Jill Filipovic, author of OK Boomer 

“Irin Carmon has written a deeply nuanced and moving book that is both a painful reality check and a love letter to women left behind and rendered invisible in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.  Unbearable breaks the silence on the tragic perils of pregnancy in America.”
—Michele Bratcher Goodwin, author of Policing the Womb

“Irin Carmon brings together powerful and intimate stories of people navigating the spectrum of pregnancy in America. From racial biases and restrictive laws, these narratives describe the deeply fraught system that makes being pregnant anything but easy or safe. Unbearable reminds us that we are not alone and that when we stand up for the pregnant people and their families, we make the world better for all of us.”
—Meera Shah, Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic and author of You’re the Only One I’ve Told

On her first day of second grade, a group of older girls surrounded Michaela. The ringleader drafted her little sister, armed her with a pair of scissors, and shouted a command: cut Michaela’s big blond pigtails off or face her fury. Michaela and her braids survived the attempted “jump,” but she never saw the world and hair the same way again.

Recognizing how her light skin, light eyes, and light hair facilitated her access to the explosive intersections of hardcore, house, and hip-hop culture, Michaela angela Davis’s Tenderheaded is the coming-of-age story of a stylist and editor who hustled during the golden age of the downtown NYC scene of the ’80s, established a career through the hip-hop–fueled ’90s, and reckoned with the media industry in the “post-racial” Obama years while being in service to Black women every step of the way.

With a life and career as complex and textured as her hair, Davis has written more than a memoir.

Joan Crawford burst out of her poverty-stricken youth to become a bright young movie star in the 1920s, drawing the admiration of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the attention of audiences worldwide. She flourished for decades, working across genres, from romance to westerns (Mildred Pierce, Johnny Guitar) to musicals and noir (Torch Song, A Woman’s Face). Along the way she accumulated four husbands, an Academy Award for Best Actress, and the undeniable status of a legend.

One of the greatest Hollywood biographers of all time, Scott Eyman draws on never before seen documents from the Crawford estate delivering the first full telling of the movie star’s dazzling, turbulent life which is “a cinematic experience in itself” (Salon).]]> 13 02 John Wayne and Pieces of My Heart and You Must Remember This with actor Robert Wagner.

He and his wife, Lynn, live in West Palm Beach.]]> 23 02 THE FILM IS 16MM Kodachrome, so it has those “nice, bright colors” Paul Simon sang about. The cans were stacked in the back of Joan Crawford’s closet when she moved back to New York in 1955. After she died in 1977 they sat in the closets of her daughter Cathy, and of Casey LaLonde, her grandson.

The expectations were that they would be the usual movie star home movies—birthday parties with the kids in Brentwood, some behind-the-scenes shots from the studio, etc. There was some of that, but there were also several cans sealed with masking tape on which was written “Charles and Me.”

They were Joan Crawford home movies all right, but they weren’t what anybody had expected. From her look, and from the cars on view, the bulk of them were made in 1939 or 1940 outside New York City. There are shots of the Dakota apartment building, of Central Park in the winter as well as the spring, but mostly the atmosphere is country—a glamorous movie star on strangely unglamorous vacations: trudging through the woods, lugging a rifle on a hunt for pheasant, having a cigarette by a dying campfire.

The Kodachrome reveals Crawford’s russet hair, her freckles, even her impromptu dance moves, as she does an enchanting little sideways shuffle while playing with her dachshund. She’s relaxed, coquettish, glowing, completely unguarded. In one shot, she’s sunbathing nude.

There are two startling factors revealed by the footage. Most obviously, there is the way Crawford pops through the screen without the intervention of a script, editing, or even rudimentary lighting. She loves the camera and the favor is returned—she was born to be captured on film, any film, under any conditions. And the rifle, the earnest trooping through the woods, means she’s obviously shaping herself to fit in with her man’s predispositions.

Despite her reputation as an imperious diva, this was always Crawford’s pattern. When she was married to Douglas Fairbanks Jr., she immersed herself in fiction and philosophers, albeit with a singular lack of enjoyment, while her marriage to Franchot Tone meant a conversion to the gospel of Stanislavsky.

The man behind the camera some of the time, in front of the camera most of the time, is pushing middle age, has a widow’s peak, and sports a Bertie Wooster-ish set of hunting togs indicating a charge account with Hammacher Schlemmer. From Crawford’s body language and the intimacy of the footage it was obvious they were a couple.

Casey LaLonde asked me if I had any idea about the man’s identity, but I was stumped. He wasn’t a director, although he could have been a producer. But why meet up outside New York City when Palm Springs was only a few hours away from Crawford’s home in Brentwood?

I turned to A Portrait of Joan, Crawford’s autobiography, published in 1962. I didn’t expect much, but I found something dating to shortly after her divorce from Franchot Tone in April 1939: “In New York, I had met a marvelously mature man, one of the best people I’ve ever known. This man must be nameless because he was never able to get a divorce. He is a business executive, and I respect him thoroughly. Again I had to settle for a long and lovely friendship. He taught me to hunt and fish, we used to go on these expeditions with a whole group of men. The first time, I’m sure, their reaction was, Oh No, not a dame tagging along! Carried my own gun and my own camera, waded through streams in the vanguard, and at noon when we’d camp, I’d help fix lunch and surprise them with all sorts of snacks packed away in my knapsack just in case they didn’t catch any fish. This friend introduced me to politics, to banking, big business and public affairs.

“He says I taught him to be brave, to stand up for what he thought was right, to be considerate of other human beings, especially those with whom he was working, and to be generous in giving of himself. I didn’t teach him. Those were his instincts. He merely needed someone gently to remind him.”

That told us some of what the film had already told us, but it didn’t offer any hints about Charles’s last name. That came through the back door—an item in a Hedda Hopper column from 1940 that carried a whiff of sulfur, as many Hopper columns did. Hopper included the name of Charles McCabe in the cast list of an upcoming Crawford movie. Charles McCabe? Who the hell was Charles McCabe?

There were no actors in Hollywood with that name. Perhaps a New York actor? Nope. A quick glance at Wikipedia, and there he was—the same man with Crawford in the footage. Charles McCabe was the publisher of the New York Daily Mirror, a Hearst paper that Woody Allen called “a sparse rag that would have gone out of business were it not for the fact it housed Walter Winchell’s column.” Unfortunately, irrelevance can only be withstood for so long—the Daily Mirror died in October 1963.

Hedda Hopper had found out about the affair and wanted Crawford to know she knew.

Casey LaLonde called one of McCabe’s surviving sons, who told him that after their father’s death in 1970, his sons had gone through his papers and found letters from Crawford that made the relationship obvious. McCabe’s wife hadn’t known about the affair, or about any of McCabe’s numerous extramarital entanglements. In any case, McCabe had never asked his wife for a divorce. McCabe’s sons didn’t want their mother to find out about the affair, so they burned Crawford’s letters.

Joan Crawford died seven years after Charles McCabe; there were no letters from him in her papers.

A relationship with a public figure such as Crawford must have been risky for McCabe, but the footage clearly indicates neither of them cared, while the fact that Crawford kept the movies for the rest of her life indicates the affair was far more than a passing fling.

The home movies are a glimpse into the unexpected emotional accessibility of a woman often regarded as ferocious even by other ferocious movie stars. How did Crawford and McCabe meet? How long did the affair last? We can’t be sure, because Joan Crawford could keep a secret.

As one of hip-hop’s legendary figures and an indispensable fixture in Atlanta’s vibrant rap culture, Gucci was on an upswing in his career when he sold his “captivating” (Pitchfork) debut memoir, The Autobiography of Gucci Mane in 2016. He had just been released from prison, sporting a slimmer physique and health-conscious diet; he announced his ninth album, the platinum-selling Everybody Looking; and became the face of a global campaign with the luxury Italian designer that inspired his name and persona. But underneath all that, he was hiding some of his darkest struggles from the world. Now he is ready to tell his full story.

In Episodes, Gucci revisits his life and shares what was really going on for the first time. The mental anguish, the pitfalls, the triggers no one speaks about. Each episode is Gucci experiencing something—something you may remember from the news or even heard in his music—and giving you the background of where he was mentally. He reveals how his fascination with money got the worst of him, why he committed certain crimes, the story behind his ice cream cone tattoo, and how his wife felt watching him overdose. Along the way, he interviews medical professionals and mental health experts to provide insight into mental health awareness.

Episodes is Gucci’s way of reaching beyond the “each one, teach one” approach of discussing mental illness behind closed doors, opting instead to cultivate a discourse amongst a culture that, while steadily improving how it regards mental health, still stigmatizes public discussions around the topic. This compelling memoir sheds light on both his inner struggles and his triumphs, offering an unflinching account of a man who defied the odds to leave a lasting legacy on music, culture, and conversations around mental health.]]> 13 02 New York Times bestselling author of The Autobiography of Gucci Mane.

Often writing landmark opinions in pivotal cases, he affirmed and redefined liberty for our nation—protecting political speech, upholding a woman’s right to choose, abolishing the death penalty for minors, and legalizing gay marriage.

How did a devout Catholic, conservative in both temperament and politics, and a 1988 Reagan appointee to the Court, end up delivering some of the most consequential decisions of our time? To understand Anthony Kennedy is to know that, for him, judging is independent of personal politics, preferences, and religious beliefs. His conviction that legal decisions must be driven by neutral principles led him to rulings that were both celebrated and criticized across political lines. He was sometimes called a “swing vote,” but the term misunderstands his approach. In Justice Kennedy’s own words, “The cases swing, I don’t.”

In Life, Law & Liberty, Kennedy tells his story—filled with personal heartbreak and incredible accomplishment—and reflects on the nuanced
role of a judge. A product of the American West, he became a deeply principled guardian of the justice, fairness, and liberty our Constitution guarantees. The last justice to be unanimously confirmed to the Court, Justice Anthony Kennedy shows us that thoughtful, respectful discourse is necessary in these otherwise fractious times.

Tracing a journey that includes a half century of service to our nation, Kennedy’s memoir reminds us what it means to live with optimism and decency, and inspires us to cherish our democracy.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/6dcaed4c-6e0d-4de7-bf16-b3f8003632a7 01 Simon & Schuster SIMO001 Simon & Schuster 01 01 Simon & Schuster SIMO001 Simon & Schuster 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 8.375 in 01 212.72 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 03 0.88 in 03 22.352 mm 08 1.083 lb 08 17.328 oz 08 491.24 gr 06 15 9781668052747 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 40 02 45.00 AUD AU Z 0.00 45.00 0.00 20260719 02 55.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 55.00 0.00 20260719 Simon & Schuster AU 01 20261110 9781668063101 02 02 1668063107 03 9781668063101 14 19781668063108 15 9781668063101 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Auston Matthews</TitleText> <Subtitle>A Life in Hockey</Subtitle> 01 219266638 1 A01 Kevin McGran McGran, Kevin Kevin McGran The Toronto Star.]]> CA Kevin McGran 01 eng 304 00 304 03 SPO020000 10 BIO016000 10 SPO052000 20 Hockey; Auston Matthews; NHL; Austin Matthews; Austen Matthews; Canada; sports; Toronto Maple Leafs; centre; captain; biography; draft; goals; champion; ZSC Lions; athletics; memoir; NHL draft; hero; American; Arizona; hat trick; Rocket Richard; phenom; scoring; William Nylander; Mitch Marner; Morgan Rielly; Toronto; Stanley Cup playoffs; hockey; hockey book; desert; rollerblading; Arizona Coyotes; Switzerland; ZSC Lions; 01 01 01 02 INSTANT BESTSELLER

He shoots, he scores! From Arizona to Toronto, the definitive unauthorized biography of hockey’s hottest scorer

For those growing up in the American southwest, playing football, basketball, and baseball (and perhaps pickleball) are the stuff of childhood dreams. For Auston Matthews, however, the unlikeliest of desert sports—ice hockey—captured his imagination. From the first time he watched professional players when he could barely stand up on rollerblades or skates himself (if his parents could even find a rink), he was completely mesmerized by the speed and action on the ice. No one had high hopes that Auston, who also excelled at baseball, would make it to a rep team, let alone the NHL, but somehow the American team found an unorthodox journey to the NHL, from Arizona to Switzerland to Toronto.

The first pick in the 2016 NHL entry draft, Matthews is quite simply a scoring phenom. It’s almost as if he can’t not score. In his first NHL game he scored a record four goals against the Leafs’ mortal enemies, the Ottawa Senators. He’s been scoring at a torrid pace ever since, breaking records as he blasts pucks past startled goalies. The red light has become his good friend, a beacon to the success of one of the most prolific scorers in the history of the league. What he wants more than any scoring record, however, is a championship win, something all Leafs’ fans have pleaded for since their last Stanley Cup win in 1967.

Veteran sports reporter Kevin McGran, who covers the Leafs for the Toronto Star, talks to Matthews just about every day in the dressing room and at practices. McGran has spoken to dozens of Matthews’ coaches, rivals, friends, teammates, and others in Auston Matthews, the first book about the sometimes enigmatic star of hockey’s most storied franchise.]]> 13 02 The Toronto Star.]]> 23 02
CHAPTER ONE A Four-Goal Debut
Auston Matthews carried the puck down the right wing into the Ottawa zone, leading to a mad scramble in front of the Senators net. Matthews chopped at it. William Nylander took a shot that ricocheted to Zach Hyman, who carried the puck behind the net and fed Matthews on the right side of the crease. And in the blink of an eye Matthews shovelled a one-timer past the Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson.

Auston Matthews, the can’t-miss rookie, didn’t miss. He had his first NHL goal. It came on his first shot, at 8:21 of the first period of his first NHL game, the first goal by anyone of the 2016–17 season.

There may be no greater feeling in hockey than scoring. For goal scorers—players who make their living as the go-to guys for their teams—it’s the adrenaline rush that drives them. For the fans who watch, seeing their team score, or their favourite player score, is another form of elation, validating all the time spent loving their team and reading about the player in the off-season. For the media covering the game, it’s the story they want to tell: the kid making good, getting that first goal.

It had all fallen into place in the first period of the first NHL game Auston Matthews played. There would be no waiting. An easy, feel-good story to tell for Leaf fans all too accustomed to bad things happening to their favourite team. For the twelfth time in league history, the first overall pick from the previous draft scored in his first game.

And then Matthews scored again.

The second goal came with 5:42 left in the first period, on his second shot of the game. He won a puck battle with Mark Stone at the blue line, lost it briefly but got it back from two-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson, then lifted the puck over Marc Methot and beat Craig Anderson with an odd-angled forehand.

“What a goal, Matthews, magnificent,” play-by-play caller Paul Romanuk told his Hockey Night in Canada audience. “You see that second goal he scored? Not many guys do that,” Coach Mike Babcock said after the game. For just the second time in NHL history, the first overall pick scored twice in his first game. Matthews joined Alex Ovechkin with the honour.

But Matthews wasn’t done rewriting the NHL Official Guide and Record Book.

Another goal, his hat-trick goal, came on a one-timer from inside the right circle on a feed from Morgan Rielly 1:25 into the second period. The game was in Ottawa, but Leaf fans travel well, and the ice at the Canadian Tire Centre was showered with hats. He had scored three goals on three shots.

“Oh my goodness, what a debut,” Romanuk told viewers.

He was already acting like a veteran. The first two goals got big-time “cellys,” or celebrations. The third was more muted, pointing at Rielly to thank him for the pass. In the stands, Matthews’s mother, Ema, was jumping up and down, giving out high fives.

Matthews had become the first number-one overall pick to score three times in his debut. Four other players had done it as far back as 1943, what the NHL calls the onset of its modern era.

The Montreal Canadiens forward Alex Smart scored January 14, 1943, against Chicago.

Quebec Nordiques forward Réal Cloutier did it October 10, 1979, versus Atlanta. He’d already played five years in the WHA.

Dallas Stars forward Fabian Brunnström accomplished the feat October 15, 2008, against Nashville. He was twenty-three and undrafted but had been a pro in Sweden.

Impressively, New York Rangers forward Derek Stepan did it October 9, 2010, against Buffalo. He was twenty, two years removed from being a second-round pick in 2008, after spending two seasons at the University of Wisconsin. Matthews was the youngest to have done it, having turned nineteen on September 17.

Sportsnet’s cameras turned to Auston’s parents, Brian and Ema. Ema was wiping tears from her eyes. At the second intermission, rinkside reporter Christine Simpson caught up with the parents.

“Those were tears of joy,” Ema Matthews told Sportsnet’s viewing audience. “I feel very excited. This is what Auston has been dreaming since he was six, to be playing right here in the NHL.”

“I hope that nobody’s going to wake me up here anytime soon,” Brian Matthews said. “This is unbelievable.”

Christine Simpson—perhaps only half jokingly—wondered to the parents if Auston had a fourth goal in him.

He did. The fourth goal followed a give-and-go with William Nylander. Matthews lifted the puck past Anderson after blowing by a defender in the slot. “You are looking at the first player ever to score four goals in an NHL debut,” gushed Romanuk.

“I think everybody was like, ‘What’s going on here?’?” Matthews told reporters that night. “Like I said, you don’t really draw it up like that.”

Zach Hyman, his left winger that night and for most of their time together on the Maple Leafs, recalled the evening in wonder. “It was a surreal experience. I think it was surreal for him. I remember being in the locker room with him. After the second period, he had three by then. I think he was a little bit in shock himself. Like, how can you not be? Pretty special. You got four goals, or they’re all scored a different way, right. Just a great debut.”

Karlsson—just about as gifted a player as there was in the NHL at the time—was equally impressed.

“He got four scoring chances, and he scored four goals,” said Karlsson that night. “Two of them, most people probably can’t do. Good for him, and good for Toronto having a player like that.”

Most rookies get one souvenir puck for their first NHL goal. Matthews got four. “I’ll probably give them to my mom. She usually does something nice with them.”

It’s not like the Senators didn’t know what Matthews could do. They, more than any team, should have been prepared. Their assistant coach was Marc Crawford, who had coached Matthews the season prior in Switzerland. “He said, ‘This guy is good. He can do this, and he can do that,’?” said Anderson. “It’s not like we didn’t believe him. But there wasn’t an extra emphasis on him.

“Him able to do the things we talked about—pickpocketing, stealing the puck, quick release—that night, everything went right for him. Every time the puck was on his stick, he made something magical happen. He lived up to the hype.”

Earlier in the day, Matthews’s teammates had been talking about his maturity level, given he was just nineteen and the youngest player on the team.

“He’s not like a kid,” said veteran forward Leo Komarov. “He’s more like a guy who’s played in this league already.”

“He’s not afraid of anything,” said veteran defenceman Roman Polák.

“He’s a man,” Coach Mike Babcock told the media gathered in Ottawa for the game. “He’s nineteen years old, but he acts like he’s twenty-seven. He has great maturity. If you meet his mom and dad, you’re thoroughly impressed with the kind of people they are, and the respect he has for his mom and sisters, the kind of guy he is. Don’t get me wrong, we would have drafted him anyway, but that makes him more special.”

After the game, Matthews joked the last time he scored four times was probably “in mites.” But he showed his colours with his next comment.

“It’s really something you can’t write up,” Matthews said. “And it was pretty special having my parents here for them to share the moment with me.”

Family, for Matthews, is everything. His father, Brian, was a technology officer who played college baseball and encouraged his kids to play sports. His mother, Ema, was a former flight attendant who left Mexico to pursue her dreams and encouraged her kids to do the same. She worked two jobs, including as a barista, to help make ends meet. Older sister Alexandria was trying her hand at being a social media influencer with lifestyle, beauty, and fitness videos, and younger sister Breyana would pursue golf. They’re a tight-knit group.

“They’ve been a huge part of my career, it was only right for them to be there for the first one,” said Matthews.

In fact, Brian Matthews—ever the dad, the coach, and one-time college athlete—would usually talk to Auston after a game, just to check in.

“When the moment’s right, he does a pretty good job separating hockey from life in general,” Auston said to the Toronto Sun. “It’s not always hockey, hockey, hockey. That helped when I was younger, to let go a little bit. I can only imagine how emotional my mom was getting up there. I saw a couple of videos of them.”

As the goals piled up, the reaction from fans was understandably excited. But it was the reaction from current and past NHLers that really stood out. Twitter, as X was called then, was abuzz.

“What a way to start a career,” posted Maple Leafs great Doug Gilmour.

“Feels like I’m watching mite hockey where there’s that one kid who’s just way better than everyone else,” posted Martin St. Louis.

“Welcome to our beer league,” tweeted Penguins defenceman Kris Letang.

“Since the start of this game, I didn’t even get a chance to drink four beers, and he’s got four goals,” said LA Kings sniper Marián Gáborík.

“Most guys would be thrilled to score four in a month,” posted ex-Leaf Viktor Stålberg.

“I feel like I’m watching one of the 99 overall created players I used to make in NHL 2002,” wrote Marlies goalie Garrett Sparks.

Ryan Callahan tweeted to his ex-Rangers teammate Derek Stepan that his three-goal debut against Buffalo “is not looking so impressive anymore.”

Paul Bissonnette: “Would pay money to see Auston Matthews’s DMs right now.”

And Aaron Ward: “That moment Auston Matthews gets four in first career game, causing you to reflect on your NHL career and wondering if you even got four in practice.”

But the best deadpan probably belonged to the best deadpanning goalie in the league in that era: Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo. He declared, “I’ve just decided that Reims [James Reimer] will play all of the games versus the Leafs this year.”

“What’s the big deal? I scored four goals… in my career. #matthews #bust,” said Frazer McLaren. In fact, he scored two of his four career goals (over 102 career games) with the Maple Leafs.

Canadian actor Stephen Amell, star of the TV show Arrow, which was going head-to-head with the Leafs game on TV that night, also chimed in. “After Auston Matthews’s fourth goal, I’m just going to accept that the only person in Toronto watching Arrow is my mom.”

Even Craig Anderson got into it. The next time the two teams faced each other, the Ottawa netminder asked Auston to autograph his goalie stick. “Thanks ‘four’ making my first game memorable,” Matthews penned.

Matthews had the world’s attention. The NHL tried to put it all into context with North America’s other major league sports. Citing the Elias Sports Bureau, the league said: “No player has ever hit three home runs in his MLB debut; the last to hit two was Trevor Story on April 4, 2016. The last player to record three touchdowns in his NFL debut was Marshall Faulk on September 4, 1994. The most points recorded by a player making his NBA debut is 43, achieved by Wilt Chamberlain on October 24, 1959.”

What might have mattered to Matthews more was happening back in Arizona. The people who were close to him, his former coaches and teammates, were gushing with pride. His minor hockey Arizona Bobcats tweeted they’d seen it before, posting the score sheet of a four-goal game by Matthews when he was fourteen.

There was Sean Whyte, a journeyman pro hockey player from the Ottawa Valley, who settled in Scottsdale and ran Ozzie Ice, which featured the synthetic surface where Matthews took skating lessons.

“I was in my office at the hockey rink, and I had the TV on. I was putting my skates on, and he ended up scoring, and I was just like, ‘Oh my God, that is so amazing. First game, he scores a goal. How unbelievable is that?’ So I’m beaming. And I go on the ice, coaching my team in practice, and then someone came running out, someone said he just scored another one. And I was like, ‘Oh my God, how cool is that?’ A little while later, they tell me he just scored a hat trick, and I turned to my team and said, ‘You know what, guys? Free time. Do what you want. I’m going in.’ And I went in and started walking in my office and got to see the fourth goal. I was like, ‘This is history right now.’ Some of my players came up as well and started watching, too, so it was a pretty cool moment.”

Boris Dorozhenko, a Ukrainian Russian hockey player who was coaching in Mexico when the Matthews family approached him to teach their son his skating techniques, said, “For me, it was normal. When he was a youth, he did it many times, scoring four or five goals a game. So nothing changed for him.”

Justin Rogers, one of Matthews’s first teammates in minor hockey, said, “We knew from the start he was going to be special. And it was so exciting. We all got goose bumps. Part of you thinks maybe we are frauds down in the desert playing hockey, but then you see him produce the way he does and to have the love of the game. You don’t have to be born in Minnesota or Toronto. You can be born anywhere.”

Pat Mahan, a Minnesotan transplant who coached Matthews on the Bobcats along with his own son and put Auston up in hotel rooms to help the Matthews family defray the costs of a travelling team, said, “On one hand, obviously, it was surprising. On the other hand, it wasn’t surprising at all. For anybody to do that in any game, much less your first game, it’s unreal. But after the fact, what I thought was, ‘The world is now going to realize who they’re really dealing with.’?”

“I was watching, and I was incredibly happy for Mom and Dad,” said Stanley Cup champion Claude Lemieux, who ran a hockey academy in Scottsdale when Auston was a youngster. “I couldn’t believe it. And I knew it was the start of something special.”

There was Laurence Gilman, who would become assistant GM of the Leafs in 2018, but had heard of Matthews when he was a youngster and Gilman was assistant GM of the Coyotes. “When he scored when he went down the left side and then drove the net, I thought, ‘My God, this kid is for real,’?” said Gilman. “He displayed some spectacular, not just skill, but speed, strength, and courage to drive the net as hard as he did. And that’s been a hallmark of his game since day one.”

On the Ottawa bench was Marc Crawford, Matthews’s coach the season prior in Switzerland, now an associate coach with the Senators. “It was amazing, such a great happening,” said Crawford. “Such a debut for Auston.”

His former billeting teammate in USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program, goalie Luke Opilka, was with the Kitchener Rangers. “I thought it was amazing. I was so happy for him. I was super excited. Like, that’s the way to make a splash.”

Ryan Shannon, the former NHLer who became close to the entire Matthews family in having Auston as a neighbour and teammate in Zurich, was more taken in by the reactions of Brian and Ema. “It still gives me goose bumps,” said Shannon. “It started with fist pumps and hugs, and they were crying. And then the second one went in, and it was kind of like, ‘Yes.’ And then they kind of got used to it after the third. And then it was like arms up in the air and shock and astonishment after the fourth.”

The Swiss like their coffee and cake, and at the next day’s practice in Zurich, Auston’s four goals were the talk of the breakfast table.

“It was so fun to just be around the Swiss guys and the imports that had played with him,” said Shannon. “There were jokes, like, ‘He never scored four goals here. The NHL’s a joke.’ Like, ‘This league is better.’ But no one was surprised. Obviously you got to be shocked at four goals in a debut. That doesn’t happen, right? But you can see it. He is special and works really hard at it.”

Mike DeAngelis, a much-travelled defenceman from Kamloops, BC, who had become the director of the Jr. Coyotes at the Ice Den where Matthews got his start, added, “For me, it was the defining moment, that whatever path he took was the right path.”

Four goals in an NHL debut. It simply hadn’t been done in the NHL’s modern era. Not by Connor McDavid, the Newmarket phenom who’d been chosen first overall the year before Matthews. Not Wayne Gretzky, who held the NHL’s all-time leading scoring record for thirty-one years with 894 career goals. He’d famously learned the game under the tutelage of his father in a backyard rink in Brantford, Ontario. Not Alex Ovechkin, the Russian son of two Soviet Union–era athletes who surpassed Gretzky’s seemingly unbreakable record in 2025.

No one.

The first to do it was a nineteen-year-old American raised in the desert community of Scottsdale, Arizona, the son of a Mexican mother and an American father, a boy who only became a hockey fan of Canada’s sport because a team in Winnipeg relocated to Arizona and the NHL adamantly ensured it stayed there—at least for a while.

To be fair to history—and for those who would like to split a few hairs—Reg Noble of the Toronto team (they played without a nickname) scored four goals in his first game in the newly formed National Hockey League in its first season of 1917–18. Harry Hyland of the Montreal Wanderers scored five against Noble’s team in that same first NHL game, a 10–9 win by the Wanderers over the Toronto team. And Joe Malone scored five for the Montreal Canadiens that same night, December 19, 1917, when the Canadiens beat the Ottawa Senators 7–4 in the new four-team circuit.

The NHL had formed the season after the National Hockey Association had folded, playing under the same constitution and same rules, and mostly the same players. So pretty much everybody had plenty of professional experience. Noble had been with the Toronto Blueshirts. Malone had already won the Stanley Cup a couple of times (with the Quebec Bulldogs) and had been the leading scorer in the NHA three times. Hyland had started his career in 1908 with the Montreal Shamrocks and spent eight seasons in the NHA with the Wanderers. His “first” season in the NHL was his last in professional hockey.

In other words, none would be considered rookies in the professional sense back then. In fact, the Calder Trophy for the rookie of the year wasn’t even created until 1936.

So technically speaking, Matthews had done something that hadn’t been done since the absolute dawn of the league, a span of 36,092 calendar days.

Split hairs if you must.

And yes, the Leafs lost the game 5–4 in overtime to Ottawa. Matthews—showing a maturity beyond his years—took the blame for the loss, on a goal by Kyle Turris thirty-seven seconds into the extra period.

“That last play was 100 percent my fault,” Matthews told reporters after the game. “We came here to win, and we didn’t get that done. It’s a learning point for me and my team. It would have been nice to get the win.”

Still, Matthews didn’t just live up to the hype that preceded the Maple Leafs taking him first overall that June. He exceeded it. In his first game in the NHL, which propelled him forwards to an awards-filled, multimillion-dollar career. He was on his way to becoming one of the greatest goal scorers of all time and the greatest Maple Leaf ever.

Think about it: If you were going to create the greatest Maple Leaf of all time, perhaps you’d try to duplicate the upbringing of Dave Keon, who, in 2016, was named the greatest Maple Leaf of the franchise’s first hundred years. The Maple Leafs took over sponsorship of a team to buy the rights to the kid from Noranda, Quebec, in the days before the draft, developing him in their own feeder system starting with the St. Michael’s Majors.

If you were going to create the greatest American hockey player of all time, perhaps you’d try to duplicate the path of Mike Modano, the first overall pick of the Minnesota North Stars in 1988 who went on to a 1,499-game career. Modano was born in Livonia, Michigan, a fan of the Red Wings, and wore number 9 in part because of Gordie Howe. His family had to move to Westland, Michigan, just so he could play in one of the best minor hockey programs in the United States with AAA Little Caesars.

If you were going to create the greatest goal scorer of all time, you’d try to copy the path Alex Ovechkin took. His mother, Tatyana Ovechkina, is a two-time Olympic gold medallist (1976, 1980) and world champion (1975) in basketball. His father, Mikhail, was a soccer player.

If you were going to create the greatest player of all time, then it’s Wayne Gretzky’s path you’d want: backyard rinks in the cold winters of Brantford, Ontario, and a father who coached not just games but skills. Drills included skating around bleach bottles and tin cans, and flipping pucks over scattered hockey sticks in order to be able to pick up the puck again in full flight. Walter Gretzky gave the advice to “skate where the puck’s going, not where it’s been.”

All those greats have a few things in common: growing up in a northern, snowy climate. Rinks at the ready. Hockey on television. Playing in highly competitive leagues filled with other great players. Growing up in a community that lives and breathes the game.

One thing you might not want to do if you’re creating the greatest Maple Leaf of all time, or greatest American hockey player, or greatest goal scorer, is to start things off the way things started for Auston Matthews.

That is, in Mexico.

Stirling continues the new timeline where Rome never fell into ruin and, indeed, is reaching for the stars!

Rome Never Fell.

To save mankind from nuclear doom, time travelers brought future technology to a faltering Rome (as chronicled in To Turn the Tide). This Roman Empire conquered the world and united mankind before spreading across the solar system and beyond—where they discovered they hadn’t united all of mankind. Nor was Rome the only civilization expanding into the galaxy. For the first time in centuries, Rome is both challenged and once again facing barbarian hordes.

When a Roman colony world is invaded by the Gra’ak, an alliance of Fallen Empire barbarians, Emperor Marcus Verus Augustus Caesar charges what can be spared of the Roman Navy and Legions with reclaiming it. Because once a world was beneath the wings of the Eagles, it was guaranteed the protection of their talons.

Commander Aquila Amphion is tasked with leading the fleet, and she embraces the responsibility for both professional and personal reasons. The Gra’ak threatened to extinguish three million Roman citizens, among them the one man who meant more to her than any other—Evander Triarius, the scion of one of Rome’s noblest families . . . and her fiancé.

Driven by duty and love, Aquila devises a bold plan to not just save their colony, but to take the fight to the Gra’ak home world and conquer it for the Roman Empire.

In Honor Harrington’s day, the Star Kingdom of Manticore is the wealthiest star nation on a per capita basis in the entire galaxy. It is home to magnificent cities. Its planets’ oceans and seas—and skies—are open to its people, yet they have maintained the beauty and the magnificence of their natural habitats.

But that was not always true. Pioneers, especially interstellar pioneers, must be tough, smart, and self-reliant, and the people who built the Star Kingdom knew that. They prepared carefully for their enormous voyage, incorporated every measure they could think of, and even so, their new worlds did their best to kill them all. They very nearly succeeded, as the Plague Years pushed the human interlopers to the very brink of survival, forcing them to grow and change in ways they never could have anticipated.

In the process, they became the people who could one day produce Honor Harrington, Elizabeth Winton, and the remarkable people willing to stand in the path of the People’s Republic of Haven’s insatiable advance . . . and then to ally with the Republic when both of them learned who their true enemy was. In many ways, that fortitude was the inevitable result of a star nation that learned early on that what truly matters is the way one faces the challenges the universe throws at one.

These are the stories of people who learned that lesson, and met—and triumphed—over every challenge of their new homes.

All original stories by: David Weber, Marisa Wolf, Jacob Holo, Dan Butler, Thomas Pope, and Jane Lindskold.

Dumped in an alleyway as a baby and raised in one of the most vicious inner cities this country has to offer, Michael Edwards' life changed forever when he acquired Earth powers and heard the words, “The Storm is Coming.” He trained those powers, forged a team with the other Junior Supers, and took down a vicious criminal. Then, he disappeared to hunt down the remains of that creature's gang on his own.

Now, he's back in New York City. Not only is he looking for justice—no, vengeance—for what was done to his mother, but he also seeks the inheritance that's his due.

Blocking the path to Michael's inheritance is The Society, a secret organization which runs most of the world and can best be described as pure evil. No teenage boy alive could possibly hope to bring down The Society on his own. Except, perhaps, for one Michael Edwards, aka Stone Tactical, aka Boogie Knight.

The Society is about to get a visit, and they won’t know what hit them.

In this thrilling true story, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jake Tapper uncovers an investigation—unlike any other in American history—to lock up a dangerous terrorist before he’s set free.

June 2011: The case has been cold for nearly ten years when a terrorist fleeing the Arab Spring turns himself in and confesses to killing American soldiers in Afghanistan. This brazen act sets off an unlikely chain of events that puts the entirety of the American justice system to the test. They have the killer, but no evidence to prove the murders happened.

Determined to deliver justice, a team led by federal prosecutors Dave Bitkower and Shreve Ariail must traverse the globe, uncovering facts across thousands of miles and tracing shocking plots of terror in order to prevent tragedy from striking again.

Through intense reporting and meticulous recreation, Race Against Terror shows a man radicalized to enact violence, courageous soldiers who risked their lives for each other, and the diverse set of men and women who work tirelessly to stay one step ahead of disaster.

“Incredible…riveting.” —Dax Shepard, Armchair Expert podcast

For fans of The Glass Castle and The Liars’ Club, a tender, heartbreaking, and hilarious memoir written with “unwavering affection” (ELLE) chronicling the challenges of growing up with a desperately scheming father, a mother plagued by an acute hoarding disorder, and parenting parents while seeking independence.

The Long family’s love was fierce, their lifestyle bizarre, and their deceptions countless. Once her parents were gone, Amanda Uhle realized she was closer to them than anyone else, yet she found herself utterly confounded by the lives they had led.

Amanda’s striving fashion designer mother and her charismatic wheeler-dealer father wove a complex life together that spanned ten different homes across five states over forty perplexing years. Throughout her childhood, as her mother’s hoarding disorder flourished and her father’s schemes crumbled, contradictions abounded. They bartered for dental surgery and drove their massive Lincoln Town Car to the food bank. When financial ruin struck, they abandoned their repossessed mansion for humble parish housing, and Amanda’s father became a preacher. They swung between being filthy rich and dirt poor, devious and virtuous, lonely and loved, fake and real.

In this “iconic, only-in-America fable of desperate Midwestern dreamers” (Dave Eggers, bestselling author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), Amanda sets out to document her parents’ unbelievable exploits and her own hard-won escape into independence. With humor and tenderness, Uhle has crafted a heartfelt and utterly unique memoir, capturing the raucousness, pain, joy, and ultimately, the boundless love that exists between all parents and children.]]> 13 02 The Washington Post, POLITICO, The Boston Globe, and Newsweek.

PROLOGUE
As I was FaceTiming with former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert recently, I asked the seventy-nine-year-old statesman a poignant question: “Do you consider the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas your friend?” Sitting in front of shelves full of well-worn books, he thought for a moment before responding that he created an atmosphere with the Palestinian president that developed into a “friendly relation.” He went further to speculate that Abbas probably regards him as more of a friend than not a friend. His response reminded me of the ancient adage “The mightiest of the mighty turns an enemy into a friend.”

I asked him about recent proposals to clear out the Gaza Strip, transfer the population, and annex the West Bank. He sounded indignant. Practically, he pointed out that Jordan or Egypt might collapse. Morally, he did not want to live in an “apartheid” state.

Ehud Olmert has been called many things by many people. By his detractors, he has been described as corrupt and even a traitor for seeking peace with the Arabs. To admirers like former Israeli foreign minister and renowned historian Shlomo Ben-Ami, he was a good prime minister who was unfairly targeted by investigations because he compromised with the Palestinians.

Militarily, the low point of his time as premier was the prosecution of two wars, in Lebanon and Gaza, against Hezbollah and Hamas respectively; in both cases, Israel’s actions were condemned internationally, and its adversaries dug in deeper. The high point of his military achievement was unquestionably the destruction of Bashar al-Assad’s plutonium reactor in 2007 in an area of Syria that had been taken over by the Islamic State terrorists seven years later. Few regional governments today would admit the truth: that they secretly welcomed the loss of Syria’s nuclear weapons program. One can legitimately criticize Olmert’s conduct in war; but as this single operation in Syria suggests, a traitor who went soft on security he was not. It is precisely because of Olmert’s aggressiveness in military affairs—and in the case of Syria his destruction of their nuclear reactor—that his peacemaking efforts should be taken so seriously. In fact, the former prime minister’s most significant diplomatic failure turns out to be one of the most significant diplomatic accomplishments in modern Middle Eastern history. While he and Mahmoud Abbas did not consummate a peace deal for reasons that will be explored later, the two former enemies demonstrated clearly to the world that the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was not intractable. Olmert’s map (see page 249), which at the time was unavailable to the public, has now been revealed; two states, land swaps, a shared Jerusalem, multinational oversight on holy sites, peace and security. Abbas could not say no and he never did. No other Israeli prime minister—not Begin, not Rabin, not Barak—ever cracked this core code, presenting a deal that would be acceptable to Israelis, Palestinians, and the broader Arab and Islamic world.

Whenever the subject of peace in the Middle East arises, I think of this plan. While I have disagreed with many actions undertaken during Olmert’s time as premier, there is no other plan that has been demonstrated to be viable. The secret sauce is that it enables both nations to express their right to self-determination with dignity and security. It seeks to establish a modicum of fairness and justice, however unfair and unjust the situation actually is. I have every reason to believe that the vast majority of Jews and Palestinians would overwhelmingly support this plan—if they understood it—and if they understood that the other side was serious. For any world leaders looking to solve this conflict, starting with Olmert’s plan is a good place to begin.

The View from Below


Behavioral ecologists will tell you that hornets are terribly misunderstood insects. They are beautiful and indeed wonderful creatures, part of the diverse family of wasps, capable of building elegant social geometries, and vitally important to the global ecosystem. Most of us know only what happens when they and their homes are attacked. I thought this to be an apt metaphor for America’s engagement in the Middle East over the past eight decades—and also how the subject itself might be approached empathetically.

I have decided to begin with brief commentary on the events of October 7, 2023, and the events that followed, along with an autobiographical reflection, so that the reader might better understand some experiences, which I believe to be unique, that have been influential in shaping the questions I have asked as well as the manner in which I have drawn my conclusions.

Unlike many of my generation, I had first visited the Middle East as an impressionable child and witnessed firsthand the devastations wrought by war. But like many of my generation, my interest in U.S. foreign policy was shaped in the most basic way as a teenager, as I witnessed broadcasts of the Twin Towers collapsing on September 11. Subsequently, I watched my country, blinded by rage, stumble into two failed wars, the effects of which persist to the present. In college, the topic seemed to grow all the more important. By 2006, the UC Berkeley campus was brimming with anger over the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and then Lebanon. As an undergraduate, I did not feel I could add much value to campus arguments and so did not attempt to. I felt that I had too much to learn.

It was said of Eleanor Roosevelt that she would rather light a candle than curse the darkness. I wanted to do the same. And so I launched a campaign against one of the greatest killers in the Middle East region: type 2 diabetes. Few people I spoke to in the region understood how destructive this disease is to virtually every organ and bodily function. Few doctors were prepared to deal with the enormous public health and economic implications of type 2 diabetes and its associated co-morbidities. I thought then and still think that the global noncommunicable disease pandemic is a threat to regional stability and also constitutes an international security threat.

I traveled to the West Bank and, using funds I won through the Haas and Strauss Scholarships competitions, worked to improve public health for refugee and low-income communities. My trips would result in the invention of the “microclinic” model, which my colleagues and I eventually scaled throughout the Middle East, with the aid of Queen Rania of Jordan and her Royal Health Awareness Society, the Jordanian Ministry of Health, and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which was requested by the Israeli government to serve refugees with its full cooperation in the West Bank and Gaza.

Over a decade ago, my colleagues and I ended up training tens of thousands of lay health-care workers, who serve millions of refugees and low-income individuals in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. Despite the many terrible things occurring in the political arena, as a matter of empirical fact we knew that our work had improved metabolic health and saved lives. And in the process, I had learned lessons that could not be gleaned from books.

When I started my humanitarian efforts in 2005, I did so at a basic level, working with individuals and their families in the West Bank before branching out to other countries. I was pained as I met ordinary Palestinian families—grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, and especially beautiful children and babies, many of whom had lost aspects of what I would consider a “normal” childhood.

I visited people in their homes and, despite rampant poverty, was welcomed to meals with great hospitality and inspired by stories of resilience—of births under curfew and near misses with bullets. I visited the local university, where I also saw a worrying rise in support for Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Most troubling of all, I saw what happens when politics fails: the supporters of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a small but growing group, were gaining traction.

This latter organization, while thus far espousing nonviolence, shares objectives with Al Qaeda and ISIS insofar as it wishes to resurrect a global caliphate and bring Muslim and non-Muslim societies under the rule of Islamic Law. Interestingly, it is opposed to all Middle Eastern governments, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Hamas, and the Palestinian Authority. I considered the possibility that misguided U.S. foreign policy in Iraq and Afghanistan had made nostalgia stronger for a selective reading of Islamic history. My worry was that if things got desperate enough, Hamas and Islamic Jihad could one day be replaced with something even more extreme, such as a violent version of Hizb ut-Tahrir.

My fears would be actualized, not in Palestine in 2005, but in 2014 in Iraq and Syria, where the so-called Islamic State (a.k.a. ISIS or ISIL) would desecrate the legacy of two powerhouses and historic seats of the Islamic “Golden Age”—Iraq and Syria—committing genocide against religious minorities and hijacking vast oil resources. ISIS came close to seizing Syria’s chemical weapons, and as mentioned previously, had Olmert not destroyed Syria’s nuclear program, they may have seized a plutonium reactor as well.

In a failed attempt to secure a meeting with President Bashar al-Assad, I had visited Syria in late 2010, standing in awe of its beautiful landscape, culture, and history. Soon thereafter, the uprisings of 2011—known to the wider world as the Arab Spring—left the government so severely compromised that al-Assad had to be propped up by Hezbollah, Iran, and Russia. In a failed attempt to meet with former prime minister Fouad Siniora, I had also visited Lebanon, where I saw posters of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah plastered across the country. When Hamas sided against Assad and Hezbollah during the Syrian Civil War, it occurred to me that most American policymakers did not grasp the enormous significance of this fissure and therefore would not factor it into their decision-making. Put plainly, the Syrian Civil War had set at odds two of the Middle East’s most notorious Islamist movements.

Throughout my sojourns in Palestine, I encountered the rare Communist Party member, as well as supporters of secular Arab nationalist parties—but the pendulum was clearly swinging in the direction of a politics based on religious nationalism. One observed during the middle of the 2000s decade, and one still observes, large complexes, run by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, dedicated to caring for orphans, providing education, and administering religious activities. To learn more about the vital role of Islamists organizations in providing social services, I decided to interview senior members from these groups.

I was surprised when one Hamas official told me that his organization would in fact agree to a two-state solution. I came to realize that Hamas was a big, decentralized organization that, yes, engaged in horrific terrorist acts indiscriminately targeting civilians in their most vulnerable moments, and, yes, was committed to an Islamic state, which by definition is a threat to secular and non-Muslim communities. But I learned, too, that the organization provided critical welfare services to much of the Palestinian population, and had therefore enmeshed itself in the people’s DNA, just as its parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, had done in so many other countries. Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad are also political parties, including among their members many nurses, doctors, garbage collectors, shopkeepers, construction workers, bakers, teachers, and so on—ordinary people who cannot simply be eliminated from Palestinian society. And just as importantly, the members of huge Palestinian families often span multiple parties, even those that are ideologically opposed. For example, the imprisoned secular Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, who is described by some Palestinians as their “Mandela,” is related to Abdullah Barghouti, a prominent Hamas bombmaker. This is a fundamental reason why Hamas cannot simply be eliminated through brute force.

From my research, I learned that Hamas, and to a lesser extent Islamic Jihad, was effectively running a shadow government; I realized that, as with any organization, it contains more extreme elements as well as perhaps more levelheaded individuals willing to make hard compromises. I recall the aforementioned Hamas official telling me something profound: “jihad” for him was about putting food on the table. He did not seem keen to dwell on the topic of suicide bombings. He also got along with his Christian neighbors.

On another occasion I met an Islamic Jihad supporter. He was not an official, but a poor man whose child had been killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and was therefore designated a “martyr.” The man just wanted to sell me some groceries from the sparse shelves of his store. While he identified with Islamic Jihad, the shopkeeper clearly did so in the same way as one might identify as Democratic or Republican in the United States. I later learned that many poor families like his receive financial handouts from Islamic Jihad or Hamas and therefore are ingratiated to them and their Iranian sponsors.

As I observed all this in the summer of 2005, I considered the possibility that the United States and its allies could learn something from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Iran: chiefly, that they should engage in development in a more serious way regionally. If Iran and its proxies could deliver foreign aid in such a way that would incentivize people to die, surely the United States could help give desperate people a reason to live. We needed a way to engage supporters of extremist organizations, especially those individuals who were less ideological and more concerned with satisfying basic needs. What would it take for this poor man, who had lost a child, to have a more positive view of the United States? It would not be easy; yet he seemed quite encouraged by the American pilgrims who purchased items from his store as they made their way to the nearby Church of the Nativity. Improving health care and providing economic opportunity seemed like vital ingredients to any lasting political solution.

My mind was absorbing all this anthropological data when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was truly at an inflection point. Israeli settlers were being pulled out of the Gaza Strip, where they had illegally established residential compounds and farms. Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was on the decline, as was Israel’s Labor movement, as was the “peace process.”

Here, a bit of history is helpful. During the 1990s both “peace parties” had a moment in the sun, before being sabotaged, in large part by Hamas’s wave of suicide bombings, on the one hand, and by the Israeli right-wing extremist campaign to blow up the Oslo Accords, on the other. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, a former general, was killed by a Jewish Israeli extremist for pursuing negotiations. Hamas, initially supported financially by Israel’s right wing as a counterweight to the PLO, had maintained this unholy alliance throughout the years. In a very real sense, Hamas and Israel’s right wing were collaborators, the best of enemies. As EU foreign minister Josep Borello recently summarized, “Hamas was financed by the government of Israel in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Authority led by Fatah.” And this collaboration is not a thing merely of the past. As explosive revelations in 2023 now prove, suitcases of cash were recently delivered to Hamas with the Netanyahu government’s blessing and an Israeli escort. And in addition to Hamas, Iran would also remain a direct collaborator with the Israeli right wing, even up until the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023. Iranian foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian summarized the unifying principle of this alliance on December 11, 2023: the only thing that they agreed on, he said, was that they were all against the two-state solution.

This general sense that peace was undesirable by the extremists was further solidified by other conversations. Israel’s former foreign minister Dr. Shlomo Ben-Ami confirmed mutual sabotage of the peace process, telling me that Israel’s right-wing prime minister Ariel Sharon provided the spark for the Second Intifada in 2000 by visiting the Temple Mount with a legion of snipers. But then, during his time in office, and with President George W. Bush’s blessing, Sharon did something far more reckless. During the 2005 unilateral withdrawal of Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip, an area of minimal cultural or religious importance to Israel, Sharon refused to properly coordinate the security handover with the Palestinian Authority headed by the secular and democratically elected Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas. Unilateralism meant that a security vacuum ensued; Hamas filled the void, launching a propaganda campaign and claiming that violent resistance had achieved what years of negotiations could not. The message was well articulated and the cornerstone for October 7 was laid.

Contrary to the official messaging, Israel had not given the Palestinians an opportunity to build a democracy, together with the opportunity to build an economic engine like Dubai or Singapore in Gaza; they instead promoted Hamas to the position of sub-warden of the world’s largest open-air prison, with air, sea, and land borders essentially controlled by Israel. The only thing Hamas borrowed from Dubai and Singapore was an authoritarian system.

As the Hamas-Fatah rivalry heated up, I suspected that Hamas and Islamic Jihad would have a good chance of winning the 2006 parliamentary vote, and I questioned whether the United States was acting in its own interests by forcing an election that Fatah would lose to Hamas. Ambassador John Negroponte, one of the United States’ most prominent diplomats and the first director of national intelligence, later confirmed that George W. Bush was obsessed with elections.

There were four indicators that the election might swing toward Hamas, instead of Fatah. First, Hamas strategically deployed its message that their resistance had finally forced the Israelis out of Gaza and would soon do the same in the West Bank. Second, I saw that Hamas had secured a good showing in the 2005 Bethlehem municipal elections and in Bethlehem University’s student elections. As the birthplace of Jesus Christ, Bethlehem is a town with a sizable Christian minority, and Bethlehem University is a Catholic Jesuit institution. The strength of a party intent on establishing an Islamic state was surprising to me, especially after a local Hamas official suggested that the organization would impose a special jizya tax on the few Christians who remained.

The third reason I felt that Islamic extremists would win was because the message was compelling to many disaffected Palestinians. This propaganda seemed to be at least partially borne out by the facts. The Oslo peace process had indeed failed to improve the lives of the average family; instead, extremist Israeli settlers had built over one hundred new illegal outposts on Palestinian land, including under an Israeli Labor government. It did not seem well understood by the Palestinians, as previously detailed, that Hamas, alongside its Israeli counterparts, had been the principal arsonists behind the Oslo dumpster fire.

The final reason for Hamas’s popularity was because it had gained a reputation for providing social services and health care, on the surface at least—their vast portfolio of buildings was plain to any citizen walking down the street. They were also viewed as more pious and honest than the corrupt Fatah Party.

So when Hamas ended up sweeping the election in 2006, I was hardly surprised, even if U.S. policymakers were befuddled as to why the Palestinians would not vote for George W. Bush’s favored Fatah Party. What did in fact surprise me was that the policymakers themselves were so surprised. The United States had forced a fair and free election, monitored by the Carter Center, and it would now look hypocritical by boycotting the winner—Hamas. This petulance was furthered when the U.S. helped instigate the 2007 civil war in Gaza, a conflict that was devastating for Palestinian nationalism. It led to the total takeover of the strip by Hamas, with the support of its Iranian overlords. The lack of a secure transition of the strip to the PLO, the suitcases of cash being delivered to Hamas, and the periodic Israeli attempts to “mow” the metaphorical lawn in Gaza, in other words its failed military operations there, all were foundational to October 7, 2023. Over a decade and a half, rather than feeding the hungry, Hamas used external funds to build up a vast military “metro,” tunnels capable of transporting weapons and even vehicles for miles. And they did so with North Korean and Iranian assistance.

I believe my skepticism of U.S. democracy promotion in the Middle East more broadly, and especially of U.S. democracy promotion under military occupation, is now validated by the facts. Upon assuming control of Gaza, Hamas showed what it would do if it were put in charge of the entire Palestinian polity. With respect to elections, it has been as bad as, if not worse than, Fatah and the PLO; there has not been a competitive, multiparty election in Gaza since 2006. The age-old adage that those who storm the Bastille will eventually build a replacement of their own certainly rings true in the Strip. Just as the PLO had used its political power to enrich its party leadership at the expense of the Palestinians, Hamas built a successful business model around “resistance,” sending desperate young Palestinians to their deaths in the name of jihad.

Hamas also engaged in torture and violence against its own people, claiming that the real collaborators were those who opposed it. When Muhammad Abed, a West Bank Palestinian Preventive Security agent, called Hamas an Iranian proxy, the group tracked him down and shot him in the leg. Reports of vast stores of foreign wealth tied to shell companies that enrich a few families as they live in luxury abroad debunk any notion of Hamas as an organization fighting on behalf of the common man. Even a Hezbollah-allied journalist mocked Hamas leader Khaled Meshal’s detached calls for jihad, made from five-star hotels in Sunni Arab Gulf capitals. That Hamas had sided against Assad and Hezbollah in the Syrian civil war was not to be soon forgotten by the Shi’ite Iranian proxy.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas demonstrated a capability that seemed more sophisticated, shocking, and debased than the suicide bombings that it had previously carried out during the 1990s and 2000s. It was willing to besmirch the legitimate Palestinian cause by committing shocking atrocities and acts of terror. Its fighters raped and maimed: they abused elderly Holocaust survivors, babies, and disabled persons—even peace activists who had devoted their lives to Palestinians. They also killed and kidnapped fellow Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel, including one paramedic who bravely gave his life trying to save his Jewish compatriots from the violence. Another Palestinian Arab Israeli, Samer Talalka, and two Jewish Israelis were accidentally killed by the IDF as they escaped Hamas captivity in Gaza. One brave Palestinian Arab Israeli Druze woman used her Arabic to trick Hamas attackers and save her family; others were not so lucky. Gazan political scientist Mkhaimar Abusada, who personally knew the late Hamas prime minister Yahia Sinwar, calls it like it is: “taking women and babies hostage… that is definitely not compatible with Islamic or even Arab teachings.” While massacres are not new to the Middle East, those who perpetrate them generally try to cover their sins, rather than celebrate them on TikTok.

In a response to these events, Israel and the United States reacted exactly as Hamas and Iran had anticipated. As historian Avi Shlaim is fond of saying, the U.S. gives Israel money, weapons, and advice. Israel takes the money and weapons, but rejects the advice. President Biden failed to anticipate this basic point and wrote Israel a blank check for Gaza, earning him a new nickname that helped sink his reelection: “Genocide Joe.” Israel unleashed an attack so fierce one fails to see any reasonable level of proportionality being used. As Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has succinctly concluded, Gaza has become a “demolition site.”

While this Israeli bombardment played out, President Isaac Herzog of Israel dismissed the idea of there being innocent civilians in Gaza at all. Yet Palestinian political scientist Amaney Jamal’s Arab Barometer has shown empirically that of the roughly 53 percent of Gazans who are not children, the majority despise Hamas. The fact that half of the adult population voted badly seventeen years ago is largely irrelevant; a poll conducted prior to October 7 showed that three-quarters of the population saw Hamas as corrupt. About as many reported trouble finding adequate food.

In the weeks and months after October 7, there was no shortage of incendiary and explicitly genocidal rhetoric being used in Israel. One politician called for Gaza to be nuked; another suggested the “voluntary” depopulation of the strip; and still another floated the idea of emptying it like Auschwitz. Graphic videos depicting sexual abuse, this time against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, prompted a rare State Department condemnation. With these sobering facts, together with estimations of at least 45,000 direct casualties and 180,000 indirect, it is little wonder that U.S. foreign policymakers have been worried about Israel being brought before the International Criminal Court to answer charges of genocide.

In February 2025, in the pages of one of Israel’s most esteemed newspapers, conservative Israeli historian and public intellectual Benny Morris published an essay with a shocking title: “Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza. But It May Be on the Way There.” Amos Goldberg and Daniel Blatman, two distinguished Israeli Holocaust scholars from the Hebrew University and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, went a step further with their essay’s title: “There’s No Auschwitz in Gaza. But It’s Still Genocide.” Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch came to a similar conclusion. To think that Israel, a country established in the wake of a genocide, would be brought alongside Hamas, while its hostages were being held by them, to answer charges of genocide, and that these charges would be bolstered to varying degrees by world-renowned scholars of Israel and the Holocaust, is truly remarkable.

Still more remarkable is the fact that despite Hamas’s attacks being widely viewed as an attempted genocide against Jewish Israelis on October 7, 2023, and despite the fact that many of the 251 hostages were taken and held in conditions that left them looking like Holocaust survivors, Bibi Netanyahu did not appear to make their release his top priority. Israel’s former defense minister Yoav Gallant has now alleged that current minister of national security Itamar Ben-Gvir, minister of finance Bezalel Smotrich, and Netanyahu’s people intentionally sabotaged his attempts to get the hostages released earlier and has stated categorically, “I do not believe that the government of Israel did everything it could to bring the hostages home.”

At the time of writing, things have taken a turn for the worst. Removing the population of Gaza has gone from the fringe to mainstream discourse. As Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, stated at Harvard University in March 2024: “Gaza is waterfront property…. I would do my best to move people out and clean it up.” Trump went further, suggesting that the Palestinians would not be allowed to return and that the U.S. would own the strip. Proposals for relocation have included Somalia, Somaliland, Sudan, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Trump also appeared to endorse annexation of the West Bank. Journalist Tom Friedman best summed up the challenges associated with this view: “As much as Israelis hate Hamas, I am confident that many soldiers, outside of those on the far right, will refuse to be part of any operation that could be compared with the rounding up and transferring of Jews from their homes during World War II.” The largest U.S. Jewish denomination put a finer point on it:

The transfer of two million Palestinians from Gaza to undetermined locations as well as the imposition of U.S. control over Gaza will cause additional regional instability. It poses grave security risks to Israel. It undermines Palestinian self-determination. It jeopardizes the current ceasefire and hostage release deal, as well as their future phases. And it impedes the longstanding principle of a negotiated two-state solution, which, despite everything, still holds the best possibility for peace, stability, and a secure, viable future for all those in the region.

Indeed, if the transfer plans were actualized, it could pose an existential threat to Jordan, Egypt, and other allies who are at risk of being overthrown by the Muslim Brotherhood. There would be a risk of turning their borders with Israel into conflict zones. Even if this transfer plan were never to be actualized, it could still set a dangerous precedent for other global or regional powers that the solution to ethno-religious conflicts in the twenty-first century is demolition followed by transfer and annexation. Conceptually, this takes us back to the era of world wars.

Despite the Iran-backed October 7 attack, this all could have played out very differently with strategic U.S. leadership. Again, some historical context is important. When Jewish Israeli settlers, incited by one of Netanyahu’s ministers, attacked the Palestinian village of Hawara in 2022 and 2023, all major U.S. Jewish organizations unequivocally condemned these acts of terrorism, as did Palestinian Muslims and Christians. I was hoping for a similarly rare moment of consensus to be brought to bear on the events of October 7, and those that followed, at least by Americans and American organizations. Are not babies still babies and preschoolers still preschoolers, whether they were born in Kibbutz Kfar Aza or Khan Younis?

Alas, my hopes for a commonsense response were in vain. Hamas and Israel, and their respective supporters, fell into one another’s traps. Predictably, the former’s attack fed the right-wing Israeli propaganda machine, which has for years strived to conflate legitimate Palestinian national aspirations with terrorism, Al Qaeda, and ISIS: #HAMASISIS trended on social media while, at the same time, ISIS sympathizers launched attacks against Western targets in response to Israel’s actions. Even Joe Biden could not help but make the comparison, before he appeared to give Israel free rein in Gaza:

More than 1,300 innocent Israelis killed, including at least 31 American citizens, by the terrorist group Hamas. Hundreds—hundreds of young people at a music festival of—the festival was for peace—for peace—gunned down as they ran for their lives. Scores of innocents—from infants to elderly grandparents, Israelis and Americans—taken hostage. Children slaughtered. Babies slaughtered. Entire families massacred. Rape, beheadings, bodies burned alive. Hamas committed atrocities that recall the worst ravages of ISIS, unleashing pure unadulterated evil upon the world.

Israel also took Hamas’s bait, hook, line, and sinker when they fell victim to the Islamic movement’s grassroots global propaganda machine and responded with disproportionate violence. Here again Tom Friedman is insightful: Israel did exactly what Hamas wanted them to do. On October 7, most reasonable people unequivocally condemned Hamas’s actions, even if they also unequivocally condemned the background violence of Israel’s siege and occupation of the Palestinian territories.

The point is that on October 7 Israel enjoyed the sympathy of the vast majority of the world. Yet within weeks, Israel went from being another “Ukraine” to being another “Russia,” from victim to aggressor. Put another way: in just a few weeks, Israel went from being the United States on September 11, 2001 (a victim with a questionable history in Afghanistan) to being the United States on September 11, 2006 (an aggressor). Israel failed to anticipate that while most Westerners were horrified by the October 7 carnage, most reasonable people were equally horrified by the thought of a six-month-old Gazan baby being killed as she sheltered with her grandparents in her hometown church, or by the news that power was cut from a hospital as helpless lives perished. As importantly, just two months into the war, most U.S. leaders understood that Israel’s actions, powered by U.S. weapons, were imperiling American military and economic interests and could possibly even trigger war with Iran—or World War III.

Instead of supporting collective punishment, the United States could have acted with an ounce of enlightened self-interest; surely Biden understood that the world, including many living within Arab and Islamic societies, was appalled on October 7, especially when it became clear that Arabs had been targeted, and women raped by doped-up fighters. Surely he understood that Russian citizens had also been held hostage and Russia might cooperate to get them back. Even China had reluctantly condemned the attacks. For once, most of the world was behind Israel and the United States. What would have happened if the United States had conditioned military shipments to ensure Israel only acted in self-defense, not retribution, surgically sealing the border and protecting against rocket fire—all while tasking the ICJ (International Court of Justice) and ICC to investigate Hamas and Iran for war crimes?

Let us imagine a different path. What would have happened if the U.S. tasked the UN Security Council with authorizing a NATO peacekeeping force to disarm Hamas before Israel lost the support of the world? Former Israeli prime minister Olmert, who knows a fair bit about challenging wars against Hamas and Hezbollah, seemed to think that could work. What if Turkey, as an Islamic country with strong ties to both Hamas and Israel, had been publicly asked by Biden to lead this UN-sanctioned peacekeeping mission? Turkey is after all occupying Cyprus next door and has a formidable army in the neighborhood looking to regain the glories of the Ottoman Empire. Turkish troops serving under a NATO banner would have been protected against the Israeli military owing to Article 14—an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all. On behalf of NATO, Turkish troops could have served—and may still yet serve—as a transitioning force to a peaceful Palestinian state.

What if the United States used the moment, with Israel pacified and Hamas disarmed, to push through the Saudi-Israeli peace deal, combined with a Palestinian state consistent with the terms that Mahmoud Abbas and Ehud Olmert practically agreed to in 2008?

What if the United States tried to get Syria’s Assad to be part of a peace deal, an achievement that nearly occurred in 2009? This may be possible, even now that Assad is out of power; if post-Assad Syria transforms into a stable U.S. ally, then perhaps history will look kindly upon the efforts to oust him. If what follows in the years to come is anything similar to the chaos in Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, or Iraq, then the efforts to oust Assad and replace him with a former ISIS commander may prove to be yet another long-term miscalculation on the part of the U.S. I hope that reports of massacres against Alawites and Christians, together with a five-year interim government, do not suggest the latter outcome.

The positive alternatives outlined above would constitute an unprecedented win for U.S. interests and a catastrophic loss for Iran and its allies. The U.S. would win hearts and minds regionally, stabilize its allies, and weaken Iran. Even if the United States’ efforts to create an immediate international solution were blown off, it could have at least showed that it seriously tried to mobilize the world to deal with Hamas diplomatically before Israel went it alone.

As the failures of the Netanyahu government’s go-it-alone strategy are now apparent, it is becoming equally clear that his failures did not start on October 7. He failed to act upon clear intelligence warnings, and his government is increasingly coming under scrutiny from its Western supporters for Israel’s military aggression. And assault on democracy. Netanyahu and his vision of “Judeastan” on the West Bank is analogous to the problem of “Hamasistan” in Gaza. In both cases, fanatics seek to weaponize religion to achieve eschatological victory.

To be clear, the Israeli Iron Wall doctrine, the doctrine of a Greater Israel, and the doctrine of peace through war, were utterly decimated on October 7. As has also become clear, tunnels go under walls, paragliders and drones go over, and nuclear arsenals can do little to deter attacks from the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, and other Iranian proxies. As Kissinger once observed, the guerrilla wins if he does not lose. Hamas is alive and well and has reconstituted its forces. Hezbollah is alive and well. The Houthis are alive and well. Syria is now led by a former ISIS commander. And as for Iran, major attacks from the U.S. and Israel have done significant damage; but as a result of the conflict, its near bomb-grade uranium is presently unaccounted for by IAEA inspectors. One hopes that intense diplomacy can rectify this dangerous situation, which resulted in a U.S. base in Qatar being attacked. But diplomacy does not appear to carry much value these days. In Netanyahu’s own paraphrase of the Bible, “You think there is a magic wand here, but I disagree. I’m asked if we will forever live by the sword—yes.” Netanyahu should have kept reading what was actually answered in the Book of Samuel to which he referred: “Knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end?”

With Iran a threshold nuclear state and Islamist movements engaged in a long campaign to draw a nuclear Pakistan into the region, Israel is stuck between a rock and a hard place. In the future, when Israel comes under attack, it will be forced either into capitulation via a ceasefire or combat in densely populated civilian areas, leading to global condemnation, war crimes investigations, and possibly dangerous nuclear ultimatums. In the future, weapons will be even more deadly, more technologically advanced, and more easily masked. Had Israel supported the first Iran deal, Iran’s nuclear program would be far, far less advanced than it is today.

As former CIA director Leon Panetta told me in July 2025, there is not much question that after the U.S.-Israel June 2025 attack, the Iranians moved enriched fuel around and put them into secret locations. And so, Iran still remains a threat. Trump’s walking away from the nuclear agreement in 2018 was a pivotal moment. For all its limitations, Iran was abiding by the JCPOA; but when the U.S. withdrew, it gave Iran a license to proceed with enrichment. Prior to the June 2025 attacks, Iran’s leaders do not appear to have made the decision to build a bomb from the fissile materials in its possession. Panetta warned, now that they have had the “hell kicked out of them,” they have every reason to build a bomb. And one should remember that a sophisticated delivery system is not required for detonation.

And while the future looks bleak for Israel, so does the outlook for the Palestinians. Hamas ostensibly wanted to free Palestine, but their incompetence and recklessness have only served to “free Palestine” of roughly 180,000 Palestinians who died directly or indirectly as a result of this war. By one of their own leader’s admissions, Hamas has done immeasurable damage to the Palestinian national cause; if left unchecked, they may well destroy what is left of Palestinian society. Hamas’s broadcasting of its fighters’ heinous crimes using GoPros and social media resembled ISIS’s deft use of social media. Objectively, even their most fervent supporters cannot deny this. Any Middle East scholar knows that Hamas is not ISIS and Hamas is certainly not the Taliban. Conflating the two prevents one from understanding differing motivations. But Hamas is nevertheless a jihadist movement that employs terrorism and seeks to hold a referendum on the creation of an Islamic state in Palestine.

One can of course blame the Iraq War for the emergence of ISIS, or the U.S.-Soviet Cold War for the emergence of the Taliban. As this book does, one can also blame U.S.-Israel policy for the emergence of the extreme Hamas government in Gaza and the socioeconomic desperation that leads zombified young men to enact such carnage under the influence of drugs. Yet Hamas is increasingly doing a very poor job of distinguishing its agenda from those of other jihadist groups. Educating women and tolerating Christians is not enough to clearly distinguish Hamas from the Taliban; and Hamas’s limiting of its mission geographically to liberating Palestine is not enough to distinguish it from ISIS’s global ambitions. Assimilating Palestinian national interests to those of Iran is not an act of brave resistance, but a cowardly act of capitulation to a foreign theocracy.

To be clear, it is inconceivable that October 7 was done without Iranian support. Hamas would not risk blindsiding their principal backer, especially given the risks of Iran being drawn into a regional war. On December 27, 2023, Iran confirmed this obvious fact, finally claiming responsibility for the attacks, noting that it was retribution for Donald Trump’s assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani. After the attacks, Iran started to increase production of highly enriched uranium, suggesting the logical conclusion that the attack also may have served to divert attention from Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

It is likely, and in fact probable, that Hamas and Iran expected Israel to overreact and destroy Gaza. For starters, Hamas prime minister Yahya Sinwar had spent years languishing in Israeli jails, spoke Hebrew fluently, and knew the Israeli mindset well. Plainly and simply, this was a suicide mission that Sinwar launched on behalf of 2.4 million unwitting Gazans who were at once hostages of Hamas and inmates within an Israeli open-air prison sealed by air, land, and sea.

Now, as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 45,000, no one has summed up this terrible reality more eloquently than the imprisoned Hamas minister of communications Yosef Almansi:

The [October 7] achievements of Hamas are the killing and destruction of more than 60% of the buildings, infrastructure, streets, and public facilities [in Gaza]. This is a group of lunatics that [Hamas leader] Sinwar leads…. They destroyed the Gaza Strip; they set it back 200 years.

Renowned Palestinian intellectuals Edward Said and Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, Christian and Muslim respectively, put it more succinctly in 1994. Referring to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Abu-Lughod stated that “they are losers and in the end have nothing to offer.” After the moderate PLO was sidelined by the Oslo Accords, Edward Said concurred, also extending the same treatment to Arafat’s PLO. It did not take three decades for Abu-Lughod and Said to have been proved right; but October 7 was the most convincing empirical evidence that Hamas, like their partners on the Israeli right, have “nothing to offer” except death and destruction.

It has become common to hear foreign politicians and commentators articulate some version of the French psychiatrist Frantz Fanon’s or even the Egyptian Islamist Sayyid Qutb’s thesis that oppressed peoples can make themselves free from the violence of colonialism through the use of greater violence. Less often articulated is what one will be free for the day after, and whether one would be willing to sacrifice one’s own life, livelihood, and loved ones to escalate a conflict.

After one hundred years of war, it is important to remember that entire Palestinian families have been wiped out, vast numbers of homes lost or destroyed, and multiple generations of children damaged physically and psychologically beyond repair. War has only given Israeli extremists a pretext to act and overreact, as it did after October 7. After the war of 1948, Palestinians became a nation of refugees. In the 1967 war, the West Bank and Gaza were occupied. After the 1973 war, Palestinians were sidelined for Egyptian peace. In 1982, Lebanon was heavily damaged. During the First Intifada, which was largely nonviolent, Palestinians gained the sympathy of the world. During the Second Intifada, which was largely violent, they lost this sympathy. As a result of the latest war, most Gazans’ lives have been destroyed, and half the population faces starvation. Gaza has been demolished, and the present discussion is about where to transfer the Palestinians who remain. I earnestly ask, what has been achieved through terrorism, suicide bombings, and massacres? Dispossession, death, and destruction. What was gained through the nonviolent resistance exhibited during the First Intifada? The sympathy of the United States, the world, and the historic recognition of Palestinian national aspirations at Madrid. There is a pattern that does not work, and one that does.

It has become common to hear comparisons between Hamas and the African National Congress. Certainly, comparisons can and should be made between apartheid South Africa and where Israel is headed in the occupied Palestinian territories. In fact, such analogies are nothing new; Israelis have been warned about apartheid by none other than four former Israeli prime ministers, David Ben-Gurion, Yitzhak Shamir, Ehud Barak, and Ehud Olmert.

In fairness, it is important to recognize that Israel’s Arab citizens who live within its 1967 borders have sometimes achieved high positions of prestige and power, even while struggling with numerous forms of discrimination such as the Nation State Law; there are many Palestinian Arabs, Muslims, Christians, and Druze who are full Israeli citizens and serve as top doctors, judges, politicians, renowned scientists, university administrators, and titans of industry. Israel’s Palestinian Arabs are a critical swing vote in national elections, when they choose to exercise that tremendous power. The resilient Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel, comprising 20 percent of the population, show what the Palestinian people are capable of and prefigure what peaceful coexistence could start to look like. Their relatives in Gaza, starving and unhoused, prefigure the alternative.

While there are indeed legitimate parallels between Israel’s conduct in the occupied Palestinian territories and South African apartheid, the differences between Hamas and the ANC are vast. As detailed in Mandela’s statement at the Rivonia Trial, the South African leader specifically prioritized a path of nonviolence, and when this path was closed by the white South African regime, he carefully evaluated different types of violence—sabotage, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, and open revolution—and chose the first option, which would minimize loss of life, especially civilian. Mandela shunned terrorism as a strategy precisely because he defined what he wanted his people to be free for—that whites and Blacks would one day live with each other in peace—an ideal for which he was “prepared to die.”

I am often asked by students and colleagues, “What do you think the solution is? Are you for one state or two?” In response, I often joke that I am for two states: one for all the people who want to live in peace and the other for those who do not. Or I say I am for as many states as it takes to stop the bloodshed. If I respond more seriously, as I will do here, I simply say that this conflict is unlikely to be resolved as long as the core issue is overlooked, ignored, and, as is the case on both sides, flat-out denied: this conflict is about nationalism—the idea that the individual’s highest loyalty belongs to the nation. If one wants to argue that this is about dueling nationalisms with either settler-colonial or jihadist-terrorist undertones, so be it. If one wants to argue it is about nationalism with ethnic cleansing or genocidal overtones, so be it. But it is still fundamentally about nationalism. Nationalism is arguably the most powerful political force in the history of humanity: 120 million people died in one cold war and two world wars largely because of it.

As political scientists John Mearsheimer and Steve Walt have argued, one should not try to defeat nationalism. It is a variable with staying power, and, I would argue, one that explains why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will not be another example of white Westerners leaving the Middle East with their tails between their legs as they did in Algeria, Yemen, Egypt, and elsewhere. Even if one considers Ashkenazi Jews to be merely nonindigenous colonizers akin to the British or French, the Holocaust, the mass displacement of Middle Eastern Jews after 1948, two-hundred-plus nuclear weapons, an Israeli state composed mostly of Middle Eastern Jews, an Israeli military populated in large part by Jewish Arab, Jewish Iranian, and Druze Arab indigenous peoples, helps us understand why this is likely not going to end up like South Africa, where less than 10 percent of the population were Europeans, with zero historical connection to Africa.

As will become apparent in the introduction, in 1917 the British Balfour Declaration offered a one-state solution—a Jewish state with a Palestinian minority. In 1939, the British rescinded this, offering another type of one-state solution—a Palestinian state with a Jewish minority. In 1947, the United Nations offered a two-state solution, which has since been the only realistic hope of resolving this conflict insofar as it satisfies both parties’ needs for national self-determination.

There is a commonly told myth today: the two-state solution is dead. It is not. The Olmert-Abbas negotiations, which resulted in the 2008 map previously mentioned, is a good attempt at what a viable deal might look like today given the power dynamics in the world. The West Bank might be sliced and diced, but Olmert and Abbas nearly un-sliced and un-diced much of it. In 2005 Israel showed it could evacuate settlements, and in 2023 it quickly relocated large portions of its northern population for security reasons. If extremist settlers wish to remain in what they consider to be Judea and Samaria, they could always be given citizenship in the new Palestine and live as minorities, just as the Samaritan community does in Nablus and the Palestinian Arab community does in Israel. Providing a passport is a lot more appealing than apartheid, ethnic cleansing, civil war, and genocide in a nuclear-armed Greater Israel.

Without displacing the Palestinian population, the creation of a tourism economy off the stunning Mediterranean coast of Gaza via the construction of Dubai-esque artificial islands, would add land and much-needed jobs to the Palestinian state—a feat that is achievable via new construction technologies. As part of a grand bargain, numerous Palestine refugees in neighboring countries could be given vested title to the homes they have lived in for decades, unlocking tens of billions of dollars in dead capital. What if the global Palestinian diaspora voted in a referendum on the Palestinian state and contributed to an investment fund? What if major art, science, and innovation hubs were built in the new Palestine, providing collaborative opportunities similar to those currently provided to Arab-Palestinians in Israel? For example, in 2024, Palestinian neurobiologist Dr. Mona Maroun was appointed rector of the University of Haifa. Palestinians in the West and in the Gulf are among the most educated and prosperous communities in all the world and could play an integral part in building a state.

The leaders of the world need to listen to the Israeli and Palestinian people who are tired of war and want genuine peace. In Yertle the Turtle, Dr. Seuss reminds the powerful to consider the view from below, for the stability of their thrones depend upon it. In my opinion, the view from below is the most important view. Be it within a national or international context, the power of the powerful is contingent on what happens at a grassroots level. World War I was sparked by the Black Hand’s assassination of Archduke Ferdinand; the global War on Terror was sparked by the 9/11 attacks launched by Al Qaeda. The Arab Revolutions starting in 2011 by an act of self-immolation entirely changed the political dynamics in both the Middle East and the European Union. To adapt an insight from anthropologist Margaret Mead, never doubt that a small group of disaffected, committed individuals can change the world; indeed, it is often the only thing that ever has.

The View from Above


In addition to investigating Middle East affairs from the perspective of the poor, the powerless, and the disenfranchised—the view “from below”—I have also put considerable effort into learning about the perspectives of those in power, the view “from above.” My first engagement with politicians occurred in 2006, prior to my graduation. I had met former World Bank president A. W. Clausen at Berkeley, and struck up a friendship with him and his wife, Helen. He became a personal mentor, telling me stories about his career leading Bank of America and the World Bank, as well as his relationships with U.S. presidents Carter, Ford, Reagan, and Bush Sr. Mr. Clausen’s stories piqued my interest in presidential decision-making. More and more, I wanted to understand policymakers as human beings with human motivations, rather than as abstract figures.

My second engagement with politicians was much briefer and a result of my selection as a Marshall Scholar from the Bay Area in 2006. As a new scholar on my way to the University of Oxford, I was invited by the British consulate to the San Francisco penthouse of former U.S. secretary of state George Shultz, whose wife was hosting an intimate reception for a special visitor: Prime Minister Tony Blair. I had never met a former secretary of state before, much less a British prime minister, and knew not what to expect.

After passing through minimal security, I took the elevator up to the Shultz penthouse and there found myself amid a who’s who of Silicon Valley, including the CEOs of major companies; Mayor Gavin Newsom; George Shultz and his wife, Charlotte; Nobel laureate Steve Chu; and Stanford president Gerhard Casper. The Lebanon War of 2006 was raging. For different reasons, people in the Bay Area and across the world were outraged. Condoleezza Rice was trying to put out the fire, but due to the Bush administration’s unpopularity, she was persona non grata in Lebanon and could not even land her plane in Beirut.

After completing the Marshall Scholarship, I then earned a Weidenfeld scholarship to embark on doctoral studies at Oxford under the direction of Avi Shlaim, a renowned Israeli-Iraqi British scholar. Throughout the course of my research, I got to know Lord (George) Weidenfeld, for whom the program was named. I learned that Lord Weidenfeld was a former chief of staff to the first president of Israel, Chaim Weizmann, and throughout his life established relationships with everyone who was anyone—from Pablo Picasso to Pope John Paul, and from Henry Kissinger to King Hussein of Jordan. He was also very close to Shimon Peres and Teddy Kollek, founding fathers of Israel’s nuclear program and Mossad, respectively, and a dear friend of Harold Wilson, the British prime minister who was a staunch ally of Israel. During Wilson’s premiership, Britain not only backed Israel in the 1967 war but also sold plutonium and other materials that may have helped advance the country’s nuclear program during a crucial period.

One of the principal skills I have tried to develop as a researcher is empathy. As I reflect on my research subjects, I often ask myself what I would think or do if I were in X or Y or Z situation. What would I think or do if I were born in Gaza under siege? What would I think or do if I were born in Iran and lived under the brutal SAVAK? In this situation, I asked myself what I would think or do if I had escaped the Holocaust, as Weidenfeld had done, leaving behind family members who perished. I have come to know and understand the perspective of individuals descended from Holocaust survivors who are anti-nationalism. Given his background, I could also understand why Lord Weidenfeld had a partisan view of the Middle East and devoted himself to a nationalist cause. Given the unprecedented academic achievements of the Germanic civilization he escaped, however, I wondered why he felt so strongly that education could be relied upon to improve the world.

But he did. Despite Lord Weidenfeld’s partisan commitments, he believed, as his personal motto suggested, that arms must give way to the gown. For this reason, he ensured that the Weidenfeld scholarship program be offered to students from across the globe, including predominately Arab and Muslim countries. The program did not, and could not, prescribe what scholars should believe or study; it simply provided unrestricted financial support for graduate studies at Oxford. Before Lord Weidenfeld died, his last project was to support 150 Syrians who were seeking safe haven from ISIS. He had received aid from British evangelicals during the Second World War; his final act therefore was to repay this debt.

The main lesson I learned from Lord Weidenfeld was the importance of networking, an art he had mastered. Throughout my research, I tried at every opportunity to supplement my understanding of the view from below with an understanding of how and why global figures make the decisions they do. I cast the net wide and sought out all sorts of people. For example, I was once at a birthday party for Lord Weidenfeld hosted at famed architect Lord (Norman) Foster’s château in Switzerland. In attendance was legendary journalist Barbara Walters, the Begum Aga Khan, Princess Firyal of Jordan, Lord Rothschild, and, one of my dinner partners, former British deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine. After Walters gave the toast, everyone played musical chairs and switched dinner partners. I wound up sitting next to an Israeli ambassador’s wife. And seated across from me was James Wolfensohn, a former president of the World Bank and, more importantly for my interests, the former U.S. envoy to Gaza.

I followed up with Wolfensohn, requesting an audience, and he graciously agreed to an interview at his office in New York. When my first book was published, he provided a warm endorsement, saying that it provided “readers an understanding as to why America and the international community at large cannot afford to turn their backs on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—or even worse, be indecisive about it.” I thought that he captured my point perfectly, but given the relative calm over the past fifteen years or so, one could have been forgiven for wondering if the conflict really did still matter. President Trump’s Abraham Accords seemed to bypass the matter totally, as did Biden’s efforts to conclude an Israeli-Saudi peace treaty. It was not until October 7, 2023, that Wolfensohn’s words “cannot afford” hit home. As this present book also shows, the conflict not only still matters, but is also interconnected with everything else. Most importantly, there is and has been for some time clear escalatory pathways to global nuclear war. In virology, there are pathogens with pandemic potential (PPPs); SARS-CoV-2 is one of these. In international security, there are conflicts with extinction potential (CEPs). The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of these.

I learned a great deal from my interaction with James Wolfensohn, and over the next few years I had the extraordinary privilege of meeting many other global leaders who, like him, helped me learn more about U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. As I did in the refugee camps and in my everyday interactions with street vendors, taxi drivers, and students, I came to my meetings with an open mind and a desire to learn, listen, and empathize. All in all, I interviewed fifty-one prominent individuals, speaking to secretaries-general of the United Nations and the Arab League, to presidents of the World Bank, to secretaries of state and defense, to prime ministers and foreign ministers, to intelligence chiefs, and to the archbishop of Canterbury.

The present book is the culmination of nearly two decades of research. It reflects lessons I learned walking the sewage-filled streets of Middle East refugee camps, and lessons learned in the marbled palaces of power. But it is built first and foremost upon an extensive evidentiary record of archival, newspaper, and academic sources, which all point to a singular conclusion: that the one who desires peace should not only prepare for war but also for peace.

During a Robin Hambro seminar in England, I was faced with tough questions posed by Sir Isaiah Berlin (borrowed, of course, from St. Paul of Tarsus) in Two Concepts of Liberty. In that study, he argues that it is very easy to be free from something. I thought about all the things modern societies want to be free from: communism, capitalism, monarchy, dictatorship, occupation, or even bad American foreign policy. But there is an equally if not more important question: What is one then free for? It occurred to me that many books on U.S. foreign policy and the Middle East focus on the former question. In this book I try to grapple more seriously with both and to do so in a realistic way.

At the same Robin Hambro seminar, I also spent time with Professor Nicholas Rengger, to my mind one of the most brilliant political theorists I have ever encountered. Nick’s intellect was matched only by his kindness and humility. He helped me to think through what answering that second question might entail. As we were discussing my work one evening, he related to me a conversation he took part in with Kenneth Waltz, one of the most influential international relations theorists of the last century. When asked to sum up his political philosophy, Waltz humbly quoted the theologian and philosopher Reinhold Niebuhr: “The children of light must be armed with the wisdom of the children of darkness but remain free from their malice.” It struck me that if Nick Rengger, Kenneth Waltz, and Reinhold Niebuhr thought this lesson to be important, I should take it to heart. And so it is in the spirit of this lesson, which forms the epigraph for this book, that I begin.

“This book is a must-read for those wanting to understand the complexities involved in Middle East conflicts and the reasons why our policies have failed.”
—General Anthony Zinni, USMC (retired), former commander in chief of CENTCOM, and former US special envoy to Israel and the Palestinian Authority

“Daniel E. Zoughbie tracks the tensions in foreign policy—the incidentals of urgent personalities and the fundamentals of enduring national interest—between the shallow and the deep. Most importantly, he underscores the need for wisdom and reflection when interfering in the affairs of other nations. I wish I had read his book years ago.”
—Sir Mark Allen CMG, former head of MI6 Counter-Terrorism and honorary fellow at St. Antony’s College, Oxford

“I strongly encourage you to read this thoroughly researched study from Daniel E. Zoughbie.”
—Admiral Bobby R. Inman, US Navy (retired), former director of the National Security Agency, and former deputy director of the CIA

“An engrossing account of how the blunders, indecisiveness, and exalted hubris of 12 presidents from Truman through Trump’s first term have transformed the Middle East into a destabilizing force…A stimulating, well-researched examination.” 
—Kirkus, starred review

“A thought-provoking examination of American policymaking in one of the world’s most volatile regions. Whether readers agree with Zoughbie’s conclusions or not, his book will force them to reconsider whether decades of intervention have done more harm than good.”
—The Washington Post

"Full of keenly observed historical detail and trenchant critiques of US policy gone wrong."
—The Financial Times

"Kicking the Hornet’s Nest, a sweeping history of American diplomacy in the Middle East, is an important contribution to understanding this challenging region and the difficulties US presidents have faced in dealing with the endemic internal problems and persistent conflicts that wrack this area. Author Daniel Zoughbie is tougher on the US and lighter on criticism of regional parties than some will argue is warranted. But this is an important book both for beginners and veterans of the study of US diplomacy in the Middle East."
—Daniel Kurtzer, Former US Ambassador to Israel and Professor of Middle East Policy Studies, Princeton University 

"An enlightening tour de force of America’s Middle East policy from 1945 to the present. While scrutinizing the misconceptions that informed the policies of most US presidents, Dr. Zoughbie’s book is also a timely call to abandon the politics of domination through sheer hard power in favor of wise diplomacy and the advancement of human and physical development."

Forty-four-year-old chocolatier Lotte Bonnet has been living happily in South Limburg for years with her husband Emil, a former refugee from Bosnia. But when Emil unexpectedly dies by suicide while walking the Camino de Santiago, or Way of Saint James, Lotte is devastated.

Shocked and confused, Lotte resolves to follow Emil’s exact path on the Camino one year later, hoping for answers, or at least insights into what could have compelled him to take his own life. While walking the arduous trail through central France, passing idyllic villages and meeting fellow pilgrims, Lotte’s thoughts are also elsewhere, in Sarajevo, as she learns the terrors of a war and shocking secrets about her husband’s identity.

Inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her, forming new friendships, and possibly a romantic connection on the Camino, Lotte is distracted as the trail grows more treacherous, and as it becomes clear someone is following her, someone who does not want her to know the truth.

Fans of Louise Penny’s Inspector Armand Gamache will be delighted by Lotte’s easy charm and enthralled by the revelations on her journey.

Few countries or civilizations are as big or as old as China. In the minds of Americans whose job it is to contemplate international affairs, the present-day superpower has always been more than just the “ultimate place”: quite simply, it is the essential foreign policy challenge—one frequently thought incapable of being solved.

Enter the China Whisperers—those of the past and the present. A hundred years ago, they were American missionaries, travelers, journalists, linguists, and foreign service officers who were on the ground, fluent in Mandarin, and enamored of the culture. They were the true China experts, and over a period of a few transformative decades they had front-row seats to the formation of both the Nationalist and Communist parties; crossed the Gobi Desert; searched out the young Mao Zedong in the wilds of Yen'an province; provided visionary analysis on the American predicament in Asia; bore witness to China’s World War II; and made invaluable contributions to journalism, diplomacy, and American foreign policy in East Asia.

The China Whisperers’ ranks have been filled more recently not so much by nomadic journalists and explorers as by multi-lingual policy experts who’ve had the ear of the person occupying the Oval Office. Often, their voices have proved critical, counseling engagement over precipitous moves. Across the decades, China Whisperers is the story of how Americans interpreting China have both succeeded and failed—for while some proved prophetic others were shown to be dupes. The book paints a full-bodied portrait of the drama of trying to understand a radically different and age-old culture—and of the US-China rivalry that constitutes the most dangerous element of geopolitics.]]> 13 02 China Whisperers, Waste Land, The Loom of Time, The Tragic Mind, The Revenge of Geography, Asia’s Cauldron, The Coming Anarchy, and Balkan Ghosts. For three decades he reported on foreign affairs for The Atlantic. He is a distinguished senior lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin.

“BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN. Kaplan examines those few Americans who took the trouble to understand China in depth during the 20th century and shows how their skills helped to bring the two countries together and their flaws helped to drive them apart.”
—Rana Mitter, professor at Harvard Kennedy School and author of Forgotten Ally: China’s World War II, 1937-1945
 
“A PANORAMIC TRAVELOGUE. Kaplan shows that America has deep experts on China—but too often fails to heed their advice. Illuminating, insightful, and essential for understanding America’s relationship with its most formidable competitor.”
—Chris Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology
 
“DEEPLY REWARDING. Robert Kaplan has found a fascinating way to understand China, our mysterious and fearsome rival. He takes us into the lives, hearts, and minds of the ‘China whisperers,’ Americans who tried to make sense of China over the past century. Kaplan is a wonderful writer, lively and perceptive.”
—Evan Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Road to Surrender and coauthor of The Wise Men
 
“WELL-INFORMED HISTORY. At a moment when the risk of US-China miscalculation is particularly high, China Whisperers shows that deep expertise is a strategic necessity.”
—Ian Bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group and New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Crisis
 
“A BOOK EVERY CHINA WATCHER SHOULD READ. Why does America think the way it does about China, its most important competitor? Robert Kaplan's compelling book answers that question by telling the stories of an intriguing collection of writers, soldiers, and dreamers who have shaped what has become the key U.S. relationship—the one with Beijing.”
—John Pomfret, award-winning author of The Beautiful Country and the Middle Kingdom: America and China, 1776 to the Present
 
“FASCINATING, ENTERTAINING, AND INSIGHTFUL. This book reflects the authorial verve, on-the-ground reporting, and deep reading in musty volumes that are characteristic of Kaplan's work. A stark warning about the frustrations of communicating findings to the people in power.”
—Max Boot, New York Times bestselling author of Reagan: His Life and Legend
 
“SOBERING AND TIMELY. This beautifully written book is about expertise. Strikingly, the most knowledgeable observers are the most fearful about the US and China stumbling into war.”
—Valerie Hansen, Professor of History, Yale University, and author of The Year 1000

“SINGULAR. A lifetime of seeing clearly enables Kaplan to deliver particularly perceptive portraits of those who have spent their lives deciphering China. No one is better at rendering the drama of two nations testing each other’s strengths and weaknesses.”

“Devious and diabolical, Herculine is a jaw-dropping and completely unpredictable literary bewitchment about trauma, desire, and identity.” —Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

A “witty, often-chilling, compulsively readable” (Vogue) horror debut following a woman who seeks refuge at an all-trans girl commune only to discover that demons haunt her fellow comrades—and she’s their next prey!

Herculine’s narrator has demons. Sure, her life includes several hallmarks of the typical trans girl sob story—conversion therapy, a string of shitty low-paying jobs, and even shittier exes—but she also regularly debates sleep paralysis demons that turn to mist soon after she wakes and carries vials of holy oil in her purse. Nothing, though, prepares her for the new malevolent force stalking her through the streets of New York City, more powerful than any she’s ever encountered. Desperate to escape this ancient evil, she flees to rural Indiana, where her ex-girlfriend started an all-trans girl commune in the middle of the woods.

The secluded camp, named after 19th-century intersex memoirist Herculine Barbin, is a scrappy operation, but the shared sense of community among the girls is a welcome balm to the narrator’s growing isolation and paranoia. Still, something isn’t quite right at Herculine. Girls stop talking as soon as she enters the room, everyone seems to share a common secret, and the books lining the walls of the library harbor strange cryptograms. Soon, what once looked like an escape becomes a trap all its own.

While trying to untangle the commune’s many mysteries, the narrator contends with disemboweled pigs, cultlike psychosexual rituals, and the horrors of communal breakfast. And before long, she discovers that her demons have followed her. And this time, they won’t be letting her go.]]> 13 02 The New Yorker, New York magazine, The Nation, and Vogue, among other outlets.

“What do you have left after losing everything you know?”

You’ve been told that it’s the cumulative impact of everything you’ve built: home, relationships, career, health, community.

But the truth is much deeper.

In you still have yourself, debut poet Fernando Samalot shares a contemplative collection of poems and reflections that follows an inner journey through loss, transformation, and return.

As the poet writes,

“The best thing I ever did for my heart
was allow myself
to begin again”

Set within both inner and natural landscapes, the book moves through forests, rain, nightfall, dawn, and shifting light, using nature as a living mirror for impermanence, healing, and renewal.

“Samalot’s debut poetry collection paves the way for humanness in a way that we don’t see often anymore. He has made triumph romantic and the process of healing? Entirely possible” (Brianna Pastor, author of Good Grief).]]> 13 02 08 02 Yung Pueblo, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Lighter</i> 08 02 Brianna Pastor, author of <I>Good Grief</I> and <I>Bellyache</I> 08 02 Ron Lim, author of <I>Twenty Something</I> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/97bfa879-39c1-436b-a69a-b3e600364f8e 01 Atria/Primero Sueno Press SIMO993 Atria/Primero Sueno Press 01 01 Atria/Primero Sueno Press SIMO993 Atria/Primero Sueno Press 04 20261013 01 AU NZ 01 8.375 in 01 212.72 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 03 0.72 in 03 18.288 mm 08 0.399 lb 08 6.384 oz 08 180.98 gr 11 15 9781668239643 27 15 9781668089378 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261013 40 02 39.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260719 02 45.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 45.00 0.00 20260719 Atria/Primero Sueno Press AU 01 20261013 9781668093184 02 02 1668093189 03 9781668093184 14 19781668093181 15 9781668093184 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Last Day</TitleText> <Subtitle>How to Stop Losing Our Loved Ones to the Opioid Crisis</Subtitle> 01 232271841 1 A01 Stephanie Wittels Wachs Wittels Wachs, Stephanie Stephanie Wittels Wachs Last Day, Lemonada’s Webby, Gracie, and Third Coast Award–winning flagship show.

—Gabor Maté M.D., New York Times bestselling author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction

 

“A brave, tender book about addiction, grief, and the love that refuses to give up. Last Day calls us toward compassion, evidence-based care, and the practical hope we need to walk through the darkest moments with the people we love.”

—Kate Bowler, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason and professor at Duke Divinity School

 

“We have to talk the talk before we can walk the walk — and Last Day gives us every word we need. As an addiction medicine physician, I have spent my career trying to explain what Stephanie Wittels Wachs conveys here with devastating clarity and grace: addiction is a disease, treatment is not thirty days, relapse is not failure, and the goal is not just survival — it is a beautiful life. Stacked with experts and lived experience, this book moves from Education to Compassion to Hope, which is exactly the sequence that saves lives. Last Day is the book I will hand to every patient, every family member, and every colleague who is ready to stop doing what hasn't worked — and start doing what will.”

—Dr. Nzinga Harrison, addiction medicine physician, co-founder of Eleanor Health, and author of Un-Addiction

 

“An honest, empathetic and ultimately encouraging examination at the biggest public health crisis of our time. Steph manages to be funny without being glib, to educate without being preachy and hopeful without being naive. There's not a person in America who hasn't been touched by the opioid crisis, whether they know it or not. This book is both a mirror showing us how we got here, and a rallying cry to move us towards change.”

In the near future, “high-value” intelligent women are recruited by a mysterious start-up called Hatch to become traditional wives to combat the historically low birthrate and the supposed male loneliness epidemic. In return, you’ll no longer have to work and you’ll get a subsidized house, land, and a robot butler that’ll do all domestic labor for you.

You simply trade in your corporate labor for child labor—through being inseminated with a male match’s sperm.

Lena Do is one of those women. She’s been stuck in corporate America for far too long. She hates her life. She has no nuclear family, no cousins, and no support system. The world is shrinking, and it’s not just the men who are lonely.

So when she receives an invitation to Hatch, she’s wooed by their promises of connection and happiness. But when women start disappearing and dying around her, she races against the clock to uncover the truth behind the company before she’s trapped forever—all the while trying to discern whose side her robot butler is really on.

With biting social critique, Fetal Position examines survival, complicity, artificial life, bodily autonomy, and the chilling reality of an increasingly data-driven world that optimizes who deserves love—and who deserves to live.]]> 13 02 The Fortunes of Jaded Women, was a Good Morning America book club pick and picked as one of the best books of the year by NPR.

When George Washington and the Continental Army faced starvation, he turned to Gouverneur Morris to help devise a plan to provision the troops. When the fledgling nation needed a financial system to sustain the Revolution, Morris again was called upon to help design its first national bank and currency. When the compromises between North and South, large states and small, had to be stitched into a single governing document, the task of shaping the Constitution’s final language fell largely to him. At the Constitutional Convention, Morris spoke more often than any delegate save James Madison—and more forcefully against slavery. When Alexander Hamilton died in a tragic duel, his widow insisted that Hamilton’s closest friend, Gouverneur Morris, deliver the eulogy.

Morris continued to serve the republic after its founding as envoy to France during the Revolution and Reign of Terror, and as an early visionary who grasped that New York, not Philadelphia, could become the nation’s economic capital if a canal opened the interior to the sea.

And yet, despite these achievements, Morris’s legacy is little known today. In this deeply researched biography, The Forsaken Founder, Scott Greenberger restores this indispensable figure to history and asks why one of the most prescient and principled founders faded from memory. Was it his uncompromising opposition to slavery? His unapologetic aristocratic style? His belief that liberty required structure as well as passion?

Moving from the battlefields of the American Revolution to the salons of Paris and the blood-soaked streets of the French Revolution, this book restores Morris to his rightful place in history. It is the story of a man admired by giants, resisted by factions, and ultimately forsaken by memory—and of a republic still grappling with the truths he dared to speak.]]> 13 02 is coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis and author of The Unexpected President: The Life and Times of Chester A.

For fans of Rebecca Serle and Elizabeth Acevedo, a “lyrical, poignant, and powerful” (Yamile Saied Méndez, award-winning author of All Roads Lead to Rome) work of magical realism about a woman’s journey to Colombia to discover her roots and what it means to carry our ancestors with us.

Dolores Moore’s dead relatives refuse to stay quiet. They trail after her like a Greek chorus with no respect for personal boundaries, filling her crumbling Victorian with unsolicited advice, family gossip, and increasingly urgent opinions about her return to Colombia—the birthplace she barely remembers.

Dorrie would rather stay in Minneapolis, where the problems are manageable: an ex she hasn’t forgotten, a cartography career that’s evaporated overnight, a creaky inherited house, and two needy orange cats. But when a cryptic hand-drawn map surfaces and an old flame offers to watch the house, the voices leave her no choice.

So begins a journey to Colombia guided by photographs of her mother, half-remembered stories about her father, and a little bit of magic as Dorrie searches for the truth about her family origins, her ancestral roots, and what’s been calling her to her rightful place.]]> 13 02 Magical Realism for Non-Believers, What If a Fish, Meet Me Halfway, and The Many Mothers of Dolores Moore.

“Ghosts?” repeated Jane.

“Hear them?” asked Elizabeth.

My mothers were in the midst of their annual winter holiday decorating blitz, which involved equal measures of Midwestern traditions like the Norway pine and spritz cookies, and also kente cloth and a menorah. Jane had gone to an art fair and bought a Guatemalan nativity scene, which—despite being from the wrong country—was supposed to function as a connection to my roots. They knew their quasi-hippie holiday practice was both culturally appropriative and embarrassingly stereotypical for two middle-aged lesbians, but they had wanted to expose their daughter to as many rituals as possible.

“Right. People who are gone? Do they ever talk to you?”

“I don’t think so.” Elizabeth lit a candle in the menorah, and the smoke danced into the highest corners of the twelve-foot Victorian ceilings.

“Like who?” Jane was rearranging the nativity scene on the mantel.

“I don’t know.” I ran my fingers over the wooden ornaments. Mary, Joseph (whose staff was broken), a cow, a manger, and a donkey. “Just… just people who aren’t around anymore.”

“Dorrie, honey, do we need to take you to see Scottie?” Elizabeth had asked. Scottie was a New Age therapist to whom my mothers had taken me several times during my childhood. “Just a tune-up,” they would say brightly, and I would sit on his scratchy sofa and insist that I didn’t mind having two moms, that I wasn’t scarred from my unusual origins, and that I would tell someone if I felt like hurting myself.

“Never mind.”

The wooden ass clattered to the floor. Elizabeth extinguished the match in a vintage bubble-glass ashtray and bent to retrieve the figurine.

“I was just wondering.”

Even now, I can still smell the tree—a real one, of course—in my mothers’ Minneapolis house, see the lights twinkling like a miniature solar system. When I first studied the work of Claudius Ptolemy in college, I had been comforted by the geographer’s certainty, by his theory that the arrangement of the stars and planets overhead at the time you were born not only determined everything about you as a human but also situated your place in the world.

voices are real or “all in her head”? Can you relate to these voices,
especially the fact that her chorus is all female? What role does the
chorus of voices play in her life? Does it help or hinder her?

2) Dorrie’s college boyfriend Franklin Liu reappears in her life just as
she’s at an inflection point. Her mothers have died, she’s unemployed,
and she’s recently broken off a long-term relationship. She doesn’t
think it’s a good time for a new relationship. Do you think she would
have been better off alone? Have you ever gotten back together with
a former partner? Do you believe in “the love of your life”?

3) Despite her history, Dorrie’s never left the US before she returns
to her birthplace of Colombia. What gives her the courage to do
something so out of her comfort zone? What do you think she thinks
she’ll find there? Does she find it? Have you ever traveled outside of
the country? What did you learn about the place or yourself?

4) In many ways, the Victorian house Dorrie inherits from her mothers
is another character in the novel. How would you describe the
Victorian? Is it a heroine? A villain? How does the house help or
hinder Dorrie’s journey? Have you ever lived in a house that felt like it
had a personality?

5) All her life, Dorrie has wondered about her past and her lineage,
but she’s never gone in search of it until she’s encouraged to by
a deathbed promise. Why do you think she hasn’t sought out her
ancestry before? How does knowing where she and her family came
from impact her life? Her self-image? Have you ever done genealogy
or used DNA testing? How has learning about your ethnic/racial/
family background affected you? Is there ever an instance in which it
would be better not to know?

6) While the Victorian holds a lot of memories for Dorrie, it’s also a big
responsibility. She not only has the memories it holds, but she also
has the physical remains of her mothers’ lives from old clothes to the
cats. Is she lucky to own her childhood house or is it a burden? How
might her kitchen remodel affect her relationship with the house?
Have you ever embarked on home improvement projects? How do
they usually go?

7) Dorrie has a long history of relying on the advice of many people
in her life: her mothers, the voices of her chorus, her best friend
Becks, and even Franklin. Why do you think she’s so dependent on
other people’s opinions? Does it serve her? What spurs her to start
listening to her own inner voice? Do you seek advice or prefer to
forge your own path?]]> 08 02 The Many Mothers of Dolores Moore is a beautiful story of the different meanings on home, family, love, and belonging.

In the tradition of books by Albert Woodfox and Angela Davis, this “riveting” (Wilbert Rideau, author of In the Place of Justice) memoir of a wrongful conviction and time spent on death row in Angola prison shows how incarcerated people care for each other and fight for justice.

In 1975, seventeen-year-old Gary Tyler was sent to Angola prison to die. A year earlier, he had been wrongfully charged with the killing of a white teenager and found guilty by an all-white jury, making Gary the youngest prisoner on death row in the United States. Three times Gary was recommended for a pardon; three times Louisiana governors refused to accept the political risk. After more than four decades in prison, Tyler was released in 2016—but he was never exonerated.

This is not a story of mistaken identity or circumstantial evidence, but one of systemic injustice from an institution hard-wired into a legacy of slavery—in effect, a legal lynching. While detailing the injustice, Gary’s memoir is also a remarkable story of pride, forgiveness, community, and triumph. With insight and heart, he shows how he learned to reject bitterness and fight for freedom, helped by activists such as Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace on the inside and relentless support from a mass movement on the outside. Stitching Freedom is the page-turning narrative with which Gary reclaims his power and “is a powerful testament to resilience and the transformative power of community and storytelling” (Cyntoia Brown-Long, author of Free Cyntoia).]]> 13 02 Stitching Freedom is his first book.

Ellen Bravo’s connection to Gary Tyler began in July 1976, when she marched with two thousand others in New Orleans demanding his freedom. A long-time activist, Bravo has written three nonfiction books about working women and two novels, Again and Again and Standing Up. Among Bravo’s commendations is the Ford Foundation’s Visionary Award.]]> 08 02 Stitching Freedom is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the idea that people can endure great hardship without being hardened by it. This is a moment of unparalleled peril to the nation’s democratic institutions as well as to its aspirations of being a beacon of liberty. There will be many battles. Some will lead to victories, some to defeats. And there will be people like Gary Tyler, who will find reasons to fight these battles with courage, purpose, and even joy in their hearts."
—The Progressive

“A riveting memoir of Tyler’s survival under harrowing conditions…. His powerful story is one of an undeniable inner strength and a willingness to speak out against injustice.”
—Philip Zozzaro, Booklist [starred review]

“Tyler infuses this devastating memoir with hope and passion, deftly using his story to shine a light on the racism embedded in the American prison system. Although he does not shy away from the horrific details of being sentenced to death as a teenager, he also refuses to be seen as a victim, taking control of his narrative through trenchant analysis and self-reflection.”
—Kirkus Reviews]]> 08 02 —Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow

“People have always wondered why Gary Tyler didn't become criminal, bitter, or insane. This riveting book shows why. He refused to let the system take his life, his spirit, his intelligence, his humanity. I watched Gary find mentors and then become one to many inmates. He became an actor, playwright, and director. He turned fabric into art. He eased the passage of dying men. He let nothing deter his march to justice, to freedom  – and we are all the beneficiaries.”

“In my life I have had the opportunity to speak up for five men who were wrongfully convicted and watch them walk out of prison. In each case, they have taught me something about what freedom means. Gary Tyler’s account of his own experience is another lesson in freedom—one we sorely need in this moment.”
—Rev. William J. Barber, II, author of White Poverty

"Gary Tyler's story is a powerful testament to resilience and the transformative power of community and story telling." 
—Cyntoia Brown Long, author of Free Cyntoia

“Stitching Freedom is both compelling and incisive in its ability to bring the reader in real close. This is not only a story of great courage and humility, but of an unparalleled patience fueled by a fiery zeal to NOT BE BROKEN by the conditions of institutional injustice. Gary Tyler had to live with his certain innocence and his commitment to freedom, methodically, one day at a time… for 15,180 days. His resilience is contagious.”
—Kate Capshaw, Artist and co-founder of the Hearthland Foundation

“Something in Gary Tyler’s nature led him to become a man described by his attorney as ‘a remarkable human being’ who not only endured the torture and horror of a hell-hole designed to destroy human beings deemed ‘lesser,’ but become a leader, a teacher, an artist, a man who was escorted to Angola’s gate at discharge by the warden who said goodbye ‘with tears in his eyes.’ Stitching Freedom imbues one with hope for the human race.” 
—Mike Farrell, “BJ” from “M*A*S*H” and author of Just Call Me Mike

“As moving and important a book as I have read in eons. Tyler's struggle to hold onto his humanity and emerge battered but triumphant is a powerful story unto itself, but that's not why people should read this book. Tyler’s journey urgently matters given the ways that dehumanizing prisoners and debasing constitutional due process have become a central feature of US politics. His story acts as a bracing condemnation of an administration off the rails; an administration that regularly mocks and debases those trapped in a deeply racist prison industrial complex. Tyler and his co-author Ellen Bravo have gifted us all a chance to look in the mirror. May we be brave enough to open our eyes." 
—Dave Zirin, author of The Kaepernick Effect

“Some people do become extraordinary beings, but we are rarely witness to this alchemy. In Stitching Freedom Gary Tyler has offered us a record of such an evolution of consciousness. Having suffered monstrous cruelty, he has emerged as an astute and resilient person of deep empathy and creativity. His story is devastating but ultimately triumphant. And we are so fortunate that he has chosen to share it with us.”
—Carol Becker, Dean Emerita of the Columbia School of Arts and author of George’s Daughter

“Despite decades of wrongful incarceration, Gary found strength and hope. Stitching Freedom is a powerful testament to his resilience, unwavering spirit, and his fight for justice. Gary's story reminds us that the human spirit can persevere even when facing the worst. This book is a crucial part of the ongoing conversation about changing our criminal justice system."
—Norris Henderson, Executive Director, VOTE (Voice of the Experienced)

"Stitching Freedom arrives as a timely and heartfelt gift, offering strength and inspiration amid turbulent times. An anchor of hope and courage, Gary Tyler’s story is not just one of injustice but a powerful testament to love, kindness, and the resilience of the human spirit. It demonstrates that truth and justice will ultimately prevail because even in darkness, the light always shines through."

Throughout his five-decade career, film director Abel Ferrara—now in his seventies—has been one of cinema’s most provocative and critically revered figures. Since beginning as an independent filmmaker in Manhattan in the early 1970s—before “indie films” were a genre—and refining his craft as a director for the TV show Miami Vice, he has directed more than thirty feature films, most notably the cult classics Bad Lieutenant, King of New York, and Dangerous Game.

His work, often controversial for its depictions of sex, violence, and drugs, has been praised for its sincerity and depth, with critics noting that his films take spirituality and morality more seriously than most films do. In Scene, Ferrara opens up about the inspiration for his creativity detailing his dramatic life journey, from his rough upbringing in the 1950s Bronx to reaching the pinnacle of his career while struggling with addiction. This memoir is not just a recounting of his life but a manifesto on what it means to be a true artist—one who refuses to compromise and continues to create boundary-pushing work.

Scene is a profound, beautiful, and inspiring account of an artist’s relentless pursuit of creativity, making it a must-read for film fans and anyone interested in the gritty realities of the entertainment industry.]]> 13 02 Bad Lieutenant, King of New York, and Dangerous Game.

Work has never been more connected—or more lonely. Endless pings and virtual meetings create the illusion of collaboration, but these exchanges are fast, incessant, and hollow. With only shallow interaction among colleagues, today’s teams are less engaged, less aligned, and less able to deliver their best.

What we’re missing is social capital: the deep bonds that make it easier to work together, share information, and turn ideas into action.

In Social Capital at Work, organizational social scientists John Burrows and Seth Rachlin explore how top companies set themselves apart by investing in this overlooked asset. When leaders intentionally build social capital, trust grows and results improve; when they don’t, silos harden, progress stalls, and even the strongest strategies fall apart.

Drawing on decades of research and real-world experience, Burrows and Rachlin offer a practical playbook to help you develop the workplace infrastructure that boosts social capital. They explain how to strengthen the networks that drive results, prioritize depth over volume, communicate with purpose, design environments that spark interaction, foster belonging, bridge divides, measure impact, and stay human in an AI-powered world.

Filled with field-tested strategies based on scientific research, Social Capital at Work reveals that relationships are the foundation everything else rests on—and why deliberately cultivating them is the most important thing a leader can do.]]> 13 02

From TikTok and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mayci Neeley, a deeply personal story of love, grief, motherhood, and resilience.

Mayci Neeley and the women of MomTok burst into the center of pop culture when Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives took the world by storm. But the show barely scratched the surface of Mayci’s personal story. From becoming a mom at twenty, to losing her son’s father in a tragic car accident, to going back to college as a single mother, she’s only ever given us glimpses of the challenging things she’s been through. Now, finally, she’s ready to tell us everything.

In this inspiring and darkly funny memoir, Mayci lifts the veil for readers on what growing up Mormon is really like and how it’s strict standards completely blow up for many young people when they get to college. When Mayci arrived at BYU on a tennis scholarship, she was unprepared to manage the temptations she’d been taught were sins. She found herself drinking too much, stuck in an abusive relationship, and on the verge of falling down a dark and dangerous path. Suddenly, she was pregnant at nineteen and mourning a boyfriend she’d been building a future with. Mayci captures the period from college to adulthood with brutal honesty, grace, and humor, offering up a heartfelt portrait of a woman finding her voice and her strength.

All of these trials led to her current love story, her journey with IVF, and of course the inside story of MomTok. Fans looking for a juicy play-by-play on the friend group drama will get everything they want—and then some—but more than anything, readers will walk away with a sense of confidence in themselves and an ability to wear their scars proudly.]]> 13 02 23 02
ONE
THE DAY MY BOYFRIEND DIES, he texts me to say he’s sorry. He loves me. He’ll never forgive himself for hurting me while I’m pregnant with his baby.

Arik’s text ends with a typo. A single letter J. I don’t understand why he hasn’t finished his thought until my mom takes me out to lunch that afternoon. While scrolling Instagram at our usual table, I see a picture of Arik on my timeline with the caption “R.I.P.” He’s crashed his car while texting me.

That night, three hundred people follow me on Instagram. Hunched over my phone on my parents’ couch, I scroll past dozens of posts about Arik: pictures of him playing baseball, grinning at the camera, laughing with his family. There are screenshots of news stories about the crash that killed him, photos of people sobbing, and broken-heart emojis, all mixed in with the usual Instagram content—blurry selfies, food porn, a mediocre sunset. Those happy photos feel like they’ve been posted from another universe. Reminders of a time before I got pregnant and had to move back in with my Mormon parents in Southern California. Before I had to leave my scholarship and Division 1 tennis career at Brigham Young University behind.

I feel like I have to post something. But I have no idea what to write. I don’t want to admit that hours before Arik died, I’d learned he cheated on me. Devastated, I’d said the cruelest things I could think of: that he wouldn’t meet his baby unless it was in court; that he would never see me again; that I would never forgive him.

How could I explain via Instagram what it felt like to learn—at that dingy restaurant with my mom—that Arik died while texting me to ask for forgiveness, to tell me that I deserved better, to say that he loved me? How do you write a post about that?

WHEN YOU’RE FOURTEEN WEEKS pregnant and your boyfriend dies, people say a lot of things. “You’ll meet someone else. You’re still young.” “You have plenty of time to find a father for your baby.” “You don’t look that sad in the pictures you post on Instagram.” “God has a plan for you.” I’ve known all along that God has a plan for everyone. I just don’t know why mine is so shitty.

By twenty, I’ve already been drugged and raped. I’ve escaped an abusive relationship, only to fall in love with someone amazing and get pregnant unexpectedly. The night Arik dies, my mom is so worried about me that she drags an extra mattress into her bedroom so she can keep an eye on me while I sleeplessly stare at the ceiling.

THE NEXT SEVEN MONTHS are a gray, depressive blur. The easiest tasks—getting up, eating breakfast, taking the online classes that will allow me to keep my NCAA tennis eligibility—feel impossible. More than once, I think about dying.

You wouldn’t know it from my Instagram feed. I don’t post any shots of me sobbing to sad music in the shower or writing that I want to die in my journal. Instead, I upload pictures of me holding a starfish to obscure my massive belly. And another of me smiling on a cruise ship, pretending I’m not thinking about jumping overboard.

When I look back on that twenty-year-old gripping the railing and debating drowning herself in the ocean, I want to tell her that things will get better. That she’ll forgive herself. That even though this pregnancy is unexpected, she’ll love her baby more than anything in the world and fight hard for her next ones.

I want to tell her that she’ll fall in love again, in a big, beautiful, dramatic way, that she’ll learn to live her life without fear of judgment, and that at some point she’ll hear the phrase “soft swinging” and not only know what it means but understand it’s the scandal that brings her to reality TV.

Most of all, I want to tell her that the tragedies and trauma she’s experienced won’t define her. That there’s no reason to feel shame about any of her mistakes—that the only shame is in hiding them.

Welcome to Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley’s unfiltered, hilarious guide to the next stage of motherhood. You thought you were in the trenches when your kids were toddlers? That was the kiddie pool. Now things are getting real.

In The Middle School Mom’s Survival Guide, the viral sensations behind the #IMomSoHard web series are back to tackle the beautiful, messy, and often absurd collision of raising middle schoolers while your own body stages a hormonal rebellion.

Kristin and Jen thought they’d hit their stride. They’d survived the baby years, built a massive online community of millions by sharing their parenting fails, and even wrote a New York Times bestselling book about those early years. Then midlife crashed the party like an uninvited, sweaty uncle—with hot flashes, unrelenting chin hair, itchy skin, brain fog, constant irritability, and a body that suddenly seems determined to make every situation more complicated—just as their kids transformed into emotional, eye-rolling roommates who communicate primarily through “bruh,” “crashing out,” and achingly slow eye rolls.

In the book, they get real about marriage, parenting through text messages, spending hours in the car, handing your kid a smartphone, navigating changing friendships and social pressures, dealing with aging parents, and learning to let go while still somehow staying in charge.

If you’re tired of pretending to have it all together, The Middle School Mom’s Survival Guide is a candid, laugh-out-loud look at the years nobody warns you about. Equal parts survival guide and equal parts hilarious, this book gives women what they need, A BREAK.]]> 13 02 #IMomSoHard web series.

Few people make more of an impact on young people’s lives than teachers. Parents, of course, are vital for a child’s future, but it is our teachers who choose to devote their daily lives to illuminating the world around them, selflessly spending their careers changing the trajectories of the young people in their charge. Teaching can be a thankless job, but these homeroom heroes dedicate themselves not only to following the curriculum but to protecting their students, recognizing their struggles, and intervening when necessary, helping to shape them into productive members of society and the leaders of our future. From elementary and secondary schools, to post-secondary and even in hospital and prison settings, these stories will inform, entertain, and grab you by the heart.

Through dozens of profiles of teachers, and some students, Canada’s most authoritative news voice, Peter Mansbridge, along with veteran journalist Mark Bulgutch, recount true stories of teachers on the front lines of this vital profession as they contend with students’ challenges with their course material, mental health, language skills, sexuality, and many other matters.

A Noble Profession celebrates the experiences of teachers and students, making an ideal gift for any teacher in your life and any students and parents who want to understand the challenges and witness the triumphs in the classrooms that dot the country.]]> 13 02 The National, CBC’s flagship nightly newscast where he worked for thirty years reporting on national and international news stories; and host of Mansbridge One on One.

An incredibly evocative and action-filled story of one man’s fight in the First World War, rich and raw with remarkable detail.

As he tended to the chores on his homestead, Lester Harper never imagined that he would turn in his hoe for a Lee-Enfield rifle on the Western Front. But the farmer from Pouce Coupe, in northern British Columbia, found himself at a party agreeing to help form a small-town regiment headed for France and the Great War. Lester left behind his wife, Mabel, in the shadow of the loss of their infant daughter, Hilda. A marksman before he even volunteered for the Canadian Army, Lester joined his cousin and friends, thousands of miles from his home, mere yards from the bayonets, bullets, and gas bombs of the feared Boche. In Till We Meet Again, the First World War comes to life in unprecedented detail, drawing on Lester’s letters as well as meticulous historical research.

Not since Timothy Findley’s The Wars, Tim Cook’s magisterial works about the First World War, or Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front has a book about a soldier’s life at the sharp end been told with such humour, gravitas, and in a heart-pounding narrative that drops you behind enemy lines. For at one point, Lester was trapped in a shell hole, a heartbeat away from the Germans setting up their machine gun to mow down his comrades.

This is a remarkable story, remarkably told. This book will be heralded by historians as a new approach to telling a soldier’s story and will become beloved by readers of military history and anyone who wants to understand what life was like for our boys behind the wire.]]> 13 02 23 02

Back pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States—yet misinformation about its causes and treatment is rampant. Too often, people default to medications or surgery, even though these approaches can be unnecessary, ineffective, or even harmful.

Christine Goertz, PhD, leading researcher in low back pain at Duke University, was looking for a book to recommend to patients and clinicians but couldn’t find one that encompassed all the most up-to-date research and treatments. So, she decided to write the book herself.

Blending clinical expertise, patient examples, and the in-depth research, Take Your Back Back empowers you to take control of your healing journey. Dr. Goertz explains the physical and psychosocial causes of back pain, debunking common myths, and clarifying pain mechanisms. She explores a wide range of treatment options that start with a holistic, self-care and whole-care approach (including acupuncture, massage, yoga, exercise, spinal manipulation, and cognitive behavioral therapy) before medications and medical procedures. Throughout, she provides questionnaires, charts, and photographs of easy-to-implement exercises in a step-by-step program to help you find what works best for you. She also takes you through finding the right clinician, advocating for yourself, and building a personalized action plan in this “required reading for any person with acute or chronic low back pain” (Chris Shaffrey, MD, chief of the Duke Spine Division).]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/e1b2f002-2066-497c-8997-b3f00034832e 01 S&S/Simon Element SIMO830 S&S/Simon Element 01 01 S&S/Simon Element SIMO830 S&S/Simon Element 04 20261013 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 03 0.8 in 03 20.32 mm 08 0.668 lb 08 10.688 oz 08 303 gr 27 15 9781668211649 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261013 20 02 39.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260719 02 45.00 NZD NZ Z 0.00 45.00 0.00 20260719 S&S/Simon Element AU 01 20261013 9781668212462 02 02 1668212463 03 9781668212462 14 19781668212469 15 9781668212462 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Welcome to the Afterlife</TitleText> <Subtitle>A No-Nonsense Tour for Those in Mourning or the Merely Curious with Denise, Heaven's Receptionist</Subtitle> 01 240302917 1 A01 Taryn Delanie Smith Smith, Taryn Delanie Taryn Delanie Smith Welcome to the Afterlife is her debut book.]]> 2 A12 Maria Krasinski Krasinski, Maria Maria Krasinski Art Hiding in New York, Art Hiding in Paris, and I’m Not Your Muse.

For millions of followers, Denise has become a guide to the great beyond: welcoming new arrivals at Heaven’s front desk, answering their most pressing questions, and offering reassurance with humor, grace, and a knowing wink. What is there to do in Heaven? Can our loved ones still sense us? What about our pets? Do we get to choose our eternal outfit? Denise has heard it all—and she’s ready with answers that are as thoughtful as they are disarming.

In Welcome to the Afterlife, Smith expands the world that has captivated those who know her from social media, inviting readers on a richly imagined tour of the “Upstairs.” From horseback riding and bingo nights to flying lessons and long-awaited reunions, Heaven is revealed as a place of joy, restoration, and deep connection. But Denise doesn’t shy away from the harder questions: What happens to unfinished business? How are babies cared for? How do we forgive ourselves—and each other—once we’ve crossed over?

Along the way, we meet unforgettable souls, and with each encounter, Denise gently reminds us that love endures, and that those we’ve lost are never truly far away.

Behind the humor and sparkle lies Smith’s own grounding in philosophy and religion, lending depth and nuance to Denise’s voice. The result is a work that is at once playful and profound—a comforting meditation on grief, grace, and the invisible threads that bind us to one another.

Warm, funny, and unexpectedly wise, Welcome to the Afterlife offers solace to anyone who has loved and lost—and a hopeful reminder that what awaits us may be far less frightening, and far more beautiful, than we imagine.]]> 13 02 Welcome to the Afterlife is her debut book.

It’s been seven long years since Everett Johnson set foot in the wilds of Killdeer, Montana. But his father, the sheriff, is missing, and Everett is determined to find him…or bury him.

In the weeks before he vanished, Sheriff Dale Johnson was investigating the murder of Orsie Armel, a beautiful young girl found naked in the woods, shot with her own gun. Orsie came from a family of reclusive, powerful women whose prime acreage has long been the target of many people’s speculation – and ire. She also happened to be the cousin of Bernadine Armel, the only woman Everett ever loved. His return thrusts him headfirst into the minefields of estranged family and neglected friendships, and back into the arms of Bernadine, who is still as beautiful and mysterious as ever.

But as he delves deeper in the family’s past, he uncovers a sinister pattern of murders and hints of supernatural phenomena he can’t explain. In the end, Everett’s search for truth forces him to confront the past that has haunted him all these years—and the impossible secret beneath it all.]]> 13 02 #1 New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen novels for adults and young readers.

There is no other job in professional sports more dynamic than that of a general manager in the NHL. Every day—all day—a GM deals with the team's owner and financial staff; the coaching staff; the players, their families, and their agents; the office staff; the sponsors; and the luxury-box holders, season-ticket holders, and corporate boxes. And then there’s the media: news-hungry no matter where the team is based, from Toronto and Montreal to Miami and Los Angeles. GMs are responsible for free agency and salary caps, as well as their number one job: team construction. GMs make the final decisions on all hires, fires, trades, and buyouts—after, that is, they have cleared all this with the owner. Through it all, GMs need a thick skin, and they make for easy targets. Keeping the entire fanbase happy is impossible, and their job—while they may enjoy every minute of the experience—is always at risk.

In Game Day, MacLean shares insights from GMs current and past, finding out what makes these hockey executives tick. What trades do they regret making? Which player(s) do they wish they’d drafted? What coaching hire seemed wrong from the first practice? What’s it like to hoist the Stanley Cup or, conversely, miss the playoffs and head for the links? Game Day is a must-read for anyone who wants to know the secret moves made behind closed boardroom and locker-room doors.]]> 13 02 Hockey Central at Noon radio show and regularly appearing as a panelist on Hockey Central television.

Chemistry isn’t only for cocktails in this lightly magical, enemies-to-lovers rom-com about the owner of a speakeasy supplying magical drinks and an enforcer of the ban on magic who must team up when potions begin to go awry—from acclaimed author Martha Waters.

In an alternate version of 1920s London, vestiges of England’s magical past exist, but the use of magic has been outlawed, leading families still with powers to operate illegal speakeasies for a public still hungry for magic. Vesper Holloway runs her family club, where a dash of spell powder or an enchanted cocktail can add a little extra intrigue to the evening. But when a spate of accidents strikes these establishments, she worries patrons will flee her family’s business.

Enter Maxwell Ashbridge, a onetime friend of Vesper’s brother, who has joined the government agency tasked with enforcing the ban, and who has a personal vendetta against the magical elite. But he does not have a vendetta against Vesper; in fact, he finds her rather enticing. He promises immunity for her club if she teams up with him to investigate, which does little to quell the growing chemistry they share. As accidents continue and the fight to repeal the ban gains ground in Parliament, Vesper and Max will have to decide—is the magic between them worth fighting for?]]> 13 02 And Then There Was the One, Christmas Is All Around, and the Regency Vows series, which includes To Have and to Hoax, To Love and to Loathe, To Marry and to Meddle, To Swoon and to Spar, and To Woo and to Wed.

As New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey reunites the Murphy crew just in time for pumpkin spice season, “we dare you not to wish you were a member of this family” (E!).

Eldest sister Caroline has never been happier. The family business is thriving, her kids are great, and her sister Emerson’s hunky costar has absolutely swept her off her feet. But when her not-quite-ex-husband decides it’s high time he begged Caroline for a second chance, she is thrown into the midst of a love triangle she never saw coming. Caroline is the family fixer and, when her sisters Sloane and Emerson and daughter Vivi need her help with their troubles, she has to decide whether to swoop in and save them—or if it’s finally time to focus on what she wants.

Matriarch Ansley and her new husband, Jack, have finally hit their stride. But when a scandal rips through Peachtree Bluff—and Jack just might be at the center of it—Ansley is left questioning whether the man she has loved since she was sixteen years old, the man she fought so hard to be with, is actually who she thought he was at all.

The air is crisper, the water is calmer, but, when it comes to the Murphy family, nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems... Through it all, these Southern women must rely on their powerful family bonds and the quirky characters and small-town charm of the place that, no matter what, always calls them home.

Taylor’s Bobiverse series catapults the sentient clones into their most perilous adventure yet, confronting fractured alliances, runaway AI experiments, and a galaxy-shaking mystery that could topple everything they’ve worked to protect.

Life after the Starfleet War is anything but simple for the Bobs. Gone are the days of endless debates and camaraderie in a unified moot. Now they’re spread thin across the cosmos, grappling with interplanetary mistrust, brewing anti-Bob sentiment, and the unpredictable antics of the Skippies, who are tinkering with something dangerously close to an AI apocalypse.

Just when some Bobs start longing for a quieter life, Icarus and Daedalus return after a 26,000-year mission to the galactic core with news that rocks the Bobiverse to its core. Their findings might hold the ultimate answer to the Fermi Paradox—but solving one of the universe’s deepest mysteries comes with a price. What they’ve uncovered is more than a revelation; it’s an existential threat that could upend everything.

From laugh-out-loud moments to thought-provoking dilemmas, the Bobiverse continues to deliver its trademark mix of humor, heart, and high-stakes adventure. Will the Bobs rise to meet their most formidable challenge yet?]]> 13 02 44 02 The blockbuster space exploration series from Dennis E.

When a soldier steps forward to take on a difficult task, they say they are going "into the breach," and few Canadian senior military leaders have jumped into the breach more often and with such conviction as our most recent Chief of the Defence Staff. General Wayne Eyre led the Canadian Armed Forces through multiple, overlapping crises and its most challenging period in generations. He was the most senior Canadian military officer ever permanently stationed in the Indo-Pacific region when he became the first non-American Deputy Commander in Korea of United Nations Command. He commanded the reconnaissance platoon in the Battle of the Medak Pocket, Canada's largest battle between the Korean and Afghanistan Wars. And he commanded the unit mentoring the Afghan National Army in Kandahar, up to that time Canada's largest ever combat advisory mission.

Not since Roméo Dallaire’s Shake Hands with the Devil and General Rick Hillier’s A Soldier First has a top Canadian general told his story, as Canadian generals do not have a tradition of capturing the history of their service. In Into the Breach, he recounts jumping right into the fire: leading peacekeeping missions in Cyprus, Croatia, and Bosnia, the Afghanistan evacuation, supporting Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression, confronting Chinese intimidation in the Pacific and spy balloons over North America, and leading Canada’s contribution to the international effort to defend South Korea in a time of rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics. At home, he describes battling floods and forest fires across Canada, supporting the country during the worst of COVID, and, behind the scenes, fighting in the halls of power to get the resources needed to defend our nation as the threat levels increased every day, especially to our arctic sovereignty.

Into the Breach illuminates and is a tribute to the rich history of our military and its members in a changing age dominated by increasing threats, global disorder, and unrelenting operational demands for the Canadian Armed Forces.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/04c12695-307f-4d38-95ce-b3ff00354950 01 Simon & Schuster SIMO001 Simon & Schuster 01 01 Simon & Schuster SIMO001 Simon & Schuster 04 20261013 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 06 15 9781668222775 27 15 9781668222768 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261013 20 02 59.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 59.99 0.00 20260719 02 69.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 69.99 0.00 20260719 Simon & Schuster AU 01 20261013 9781668225226 02 02 1668225220 03 9781668225226 14 19781668225223 15 9781668225226 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Madeline McKnight Signs Off</TitleText> <Subtitle>A Novel</Subtitle> 01 245144470 1 A01 Evan Brooke Brooke, Evan Evan Brooke The Threepenny Review, The Baltimore Review, Cutleaf Journal, Passages North, and elsewhere.

It’s Never Too Late to Make Amends

Madeline McKnight is writing her final annual report. A former Wall Street power player, she uses a pie chart to rank her most hated rivals, a line graph to follow the trajectory of her net worth and reputation, and even a formula to predict when the metastasized cancer will kill her. But there’s no equation to solve for whether Bri Davis, Madeline’s ex-best friend’s daughter, will agree to take care of her at the end of her life. Bri is a nursing student fresh off a breakup, ambivalent about her future, and drowning in debt. She accepts Madeline’s strange proposal, mostly for the obscene payday, only to find herself face-to-face with a force of nature rather than an ailing patient. Madeline McKnight has never gone away quietly, and soon she ropes Bri into teaming up with her to handle her unusual bucket list.

Priscilla Hart does not do regret—except maybe for the spectacularly disastrous choice of fleeing her own wedding in a cloud of magical fireworks. Now the town’s most infamous runaway witch, she’s determined to rebuild her reputation on the Witchery Council and prove she’s more than a scandal in designer heels.

Agatha Vanderbilt Voisin, the newly elected council president, is everything Priscilla can’t stand: composed, proper, and infuriatingly perfect. But when a string of dangerous magical explosions points to Priscilla as the culprit, Agatha makes an impulsive move—announcing that they’re dating—to save her from exile.

Faking a relationship in public should be simple even for such opposites…until late-night arguments turn into slow-burn attraction, and the two discover that something wicked is brewing in Hallowcross. To survive the magic—and their feelings—they’ll have to stop pretending and risk falling for real.

Can they outwit a magic powerful enough to destroy them, or will trust be the most dangerous risk of all?]]> 13 02 and an English teacher with the enthusiasm of Valerie Frizzle, but for secondary education.

Every summer for over five decades, more than fifty members of the Shalhoub family have gathered in Door County, Wisconsin, for a week of home-cooked meals, fiercely competitive card games, old stories, new memories, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

Written with his daughter Josie Adams, We Thought They’d Never Leave is Tony Shalhoub’s warm and deeply personal reflection on the people who shaped him. Through stories spanning four generations—from an orphaned Lebanese boy who survived wartime hunger to the sprawling family he would one day help create—Tony traces the Lebanese American family traditions, meals, and rituals that continue to bring the Shalhoubs back together year after year.

Along the way, the beloved actor known for Monk and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel reflects on growing up as one of ten children in a lively Lebanese American household in Green Bay, Wisconsin; navigating family life, work, and parenthood; and helping preserve a reunion that has become a beloved family institution. Also included are twenty treasured family recipes, ranging from stuffed grape leaves and tabbouleh to Midwestern chili and cherry pie.

Filled with unforgettable characters, deeply moving stories, and Tony’s signature humor, We Thought They’d Never Leave is an invitation to join the Shalhoub table, where everyone has an opinion, everyone is expected to pitch in, and there’s always room for one more.]]> 13 02 Monk, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Wings, and has appeared in dozens of acclaimed films and television projects.

Now in a stand-alone edition, Alice Elliott Dark’s celebrated and masterful work of literary short fiction, In the Gloaming depicts a loving mother, Janet, caring for her adult son, Laird, in the last months of his life during the early AIDS era.

The gloaming is the hour of changing light at dawn or dusk, when the world is as purple as the Scottish Highlands on a summer night. As mother and son sit together in the gathering darkness, a powerfully intimate conversation unfolds between them that shifts their understanding of each other and gives them strength for their final farewell.

In austerely beautiful prose, Dark lays bare the emotional turmoil and deep familial bonds between her characters, revealing the ache of adoration and devotion that so poignantly marks our inner lives.

Fear. Fury. And Fire.

To Know is Never Enough.

Summer Tuatha De Daanan reluctantly returns to Avalon University for her second year after spending the summer with her vampire best friend in Draculea. She’s a shell of her former self, and the peace promised to her has never felt further from her reach. All Summer wants is to keep her head down and get through the year cloaked in her depression, but looming threats linger, and she quickly finds herself thrust into a dangerous position once again; entangled with a friend turned enemy, the protector of her beloved family, and the target of two very powerful kings.

Unwilling to suffer any further loss, Summer must push through her emotions to prepare herself for the enemies who threaten everything she holds dear. Through runic training with the revered and brooding Headmaster Emrys, combat with the aloof and strong-willed Max, and improving her mental walls with the dark and mysterious stranger, each step pulls her further from the edge of despair. Yet, nothing will be simple for Summer, and the more she trains, the more she discovers who she truly is, forcing her to confront her inner darkness. The beast within that purrs for her enigmatic stalker.

A darkness that is waiting to be explored. A darkness that will not be denied.

Authorized by the Estate of Earl “DMX” Simmons and carefully curated by co-administrators Desiree Lindstrom and Sasha Simmons, and featuring a foreword by Rakim.

DMX was celebrated for his brutally honest lyrics and raw, emotional delivery. Beneath that intensity was a man of deep and unshakable faith, relentlessly searching for grace while openly wrestling with temptation, suffering, and redemption. His prayers, whether whispered in solitude or spoken before thousands, revealed a soul determined to reconcile pain with purpose and anger with surrender. Through that vulnerability, he transformed hip-hop into testimony.

In quiet moments, DMX recorded his spiritual reflections wherever he could—on napkins, receipts, and hotel notepads—capturing his faith in its most immediate and unfiltered form. The Gospel According to DMX gathers this legacy into a posthumous collection of his prayers, sermons, spiritual writings, and selected lyrics. Presented in a beautifully designed edition crafted to echo the enduring form of a Bible, and including a moving foreword from Rakim, the book features never-before-seen handwritten pages that offer an intimate window into the private devotions of a man whose faith was as fierce as his artistry.

Despite its title, The Gospel According to DMX is not a religious or doctrinal text. Readers should note that some portions of this book contain profanity, explicit language, and mature themes. Earl Simmons's archival materials are presented in their original form and should be considered in the context of the complete body of work.]]> 13 02 It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot catapulted DMX to super-stardom.

A strange affliction is haunting the good people of Dublin. It roots beneath the skin—blooming, entangling—before claiming its victims. No one knows how it started. No one can find a cure.

Atta Morrow has spent years pursuing the truth behind the plague. A graduate student at Trinity College, her covert research has grown into a quiet obsession that could cost her more than her academic future. When Atta’s latest risk catches the attention of Sonder Murdoch, Trinity’s infamous but brilliant morbid anatomy professor, she gains an unexpected ally—and a dangerous temptation.

A celebration of one of the most electric and magnetic hockey players of all time—the incomparable Guy Lafleur—in the words of his peers and admirers, from Joe Sakic to Chris Nilan.

Foreword by Wayne Gretzky.

Guy Lafleur. The name alone sizzles on the tongue, eliciting memories of Lafleur’s tremendous flow (in Quebec he is nicknamed “The Demon Blond”), his on-ice flair, his fiery play, and his incredible touch. He was fast and furious, the modern-day version of the legendary Maurice “Rocket” Richard. Lafleur played for the Canadiens during the Habs’s fabulous seventies era when they won multiple Stanley Cups. Lafleur was the ’70s, from his wardrobe to his hairstyle to his sideburns. He not only fought for the league lead in scoring—he was known to go to discos and even put out his own disco album. He absolutely mesmerized a generation of fans, changed the culture, and has influenced future draft classes ever for a generation.

For the first time, authors Steven Finn (who played with Lafleur) and Pierre Gince reveal an intimate portrait of Lafleur, the player and the man, in the words of those who enjoyed him, or who spent all their ice time pointlessly chasing him down the wing. Every chapter evokes different memories of the man nicknamed in English Canada as The Flower. Gilbert Perreault, who battled Lafleur at centre for almost two decades, is here. As is Scotty Bowman, who coached Lafleur, and Larry Robinson and Serge Savard, the Hall of Fame defencemen who skated behind him. Joe Sakic and Steven Finn recount their days playing with Lafleur when he was a Quebec Nordique. Lanny McDonald and Darryl Sittler share their thoughts on Lafleur’s rivalry with the Toronto Maple Leafs. In all, there are forty profiles by forty prominent players, coaches, family, and media, all of whom admired le Demon Blond.]]> 13 02

There’s an old saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Scarborough definitely raised me as a hockey player, and I’m so proud that I get to be a part of that community.

Some of my earliest memories are of my dad taking me skating at our local outdoor rink in Scarborough, Ontario. Every Saturday morning, without fail, my dad would knock on my bedroom door.

“Wayne, let’s get going! We’re going skating.”

“It’s freezing out there, Dad,” I’d say, covering myself in a warm blanket. “I don’t want to go.”

“You’ll have fun once you get out there and get moving. And we can get some hot chocolate afterward, okay?”

Yes, hot chocolate, the magic words. Somehow the thought of it would always get me out of bed, into the car, and onto the rink. And my dad was right. Even though it was so cold I could see my breath in front of me, once I’d laced up my skates and done a few laps, I was the happiest kid on the ice. It was there on that little outdoor rink with my dad that my love of hockey began.

But playing the game wasn’t always easy. My family is African Nova Scotian, and I often wondered if I fit in the world of hockey, which was, and still is, a very white sport. On Saturday nights, our family would crowd around the TV to watch the hockey game, and I’d wonder if guys who looked like me could play in the NHL. There weren’t many, but when I saw what Jarome Iginla or Mike Grier could do on the ice, I started to believe it was possible.

And the tipping point came when I attended a hockey camp in Scarborough run by Kevin Weekes, who at that time was playing for the Tampa Bay Lightning. I always looked up to Kevin. He was a black guy who grew up in Scarborough, just like me. Meeting guys like Kevin and Anson Carter, another black NHLer from Toronto, was incredible—these were professional hockey players and they were talking to me! That day, I started thinking about my future, and I allowed myself to believe that the colour of my skin wasn’t a barrier and if I gave the game my all, I could play in the NHL, too.

I had been playing AA hockey for five years when I went to try out for the Wexford Raiders, an AAA team in the elite Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL). I remember walking into the dressing room and seeing that all the other kids there had brand-new equipment, including these sweet composite sticks. I knew I was a good player and that I had talent, but I couldn’t help but notice that all my gear, from my skates to my wooden stick, was secondhand. I’m from a big family of seven, and my parents, Cyril and Wanda, are some of the hardest-working people I know. My dad was in construction and my mom worked for the city of Toronto and went to school full-time. They did the best they could for us, but by the time the bills were paid, there wasn’t a lot of money left over for things like new skates and sticks, so I was used to wearing hand-me-downs.

As much as I wanted a new composite stick like the other guys, playing hockey with my buddies was more important, and I had to focus on the tryout if I wanted to move up with them in the league. I took a deep breath, pushed the image of all that flashy new gear out of my mind, and skated my heart out. And I made it! I made a team, and a really good one at that. My dream of playing for the NHL was that much closer.

As I came out of that rink, one of my friends, and now a fellow Raider, told me that our coach had asked to see me. I walked up to our car, where my mom was waiting, and started putting my equipment into the trunk.

“Hey Mom, I gotta go back up. Coach wants to see me.”

“Okay, but before we go in, I need to talk to you about something.”

“This sounds serious,” I said, hopping in the front seat.

“It is.” She looked down at her hands. “Honey, we are so proud of you and your accomplishments, but AAA is a lot of money and your father and I aren’t sure we’ll be able to afford it this year.”

“Oh.” It was all I could say.

My mom explained some of the realities of our family’s finances, how the cost to register to play AAA was so much higher than AA, how even then my coaches were helping my parents out by lowering rates and my teammates’ parents were helping with rides to tournaments. Even with all that support, we didn’t have the money for AAA.

“Do you still want to go and talk to the coach?”

“No, I don’t think so,” I said. She started the car and we drove home in silence.

As disappointed as I was in that moment, I was determined to make it to AAA someday. I worked every job I could to save the money. I even sold chocolates one summer, but it still wasn’t enough. Five years went by. When I turned sixteen, I was asked to try out for the Toronto Junior Canadiens, which is one of the best AAA teams in the GTHL. I went to my parents to have a heart-to-heart.

“Mom, Dad, I need to talk about the tryouts next spring.”

They exchanged a look. This had been on their minds, too. I plowed on.

“I know we haven’t been able to pay for AAA in the past, but is there any way we can make it work this year? I feel like this is my last shot to get noticed by scouts from the juniors. And if I got drafted to a junior team, you wouldn’t have to pay for any more fees.”

Back then, once you were in Junior A, the league offered sponsorships.

My dad let out a sigh. “We’ve discussed this before, Wayne. It’s a lot of money.”

“What if I can pay half the fees? I can work construction with you, Dad, to make the money. I know if I get into AAA, I’ll get to the juniors.” And one step closer to the NHL, I thought.

My mom put a hand on my dad’s arm. “Cyril, maybe we can make this work. Maybe we can get sponsors. Every time we’ve asked for help, people come through. That’s what this community is all about.”

“All right.” My dad smiled. “Let’s do it.”

“Yes!” I cheered. “Thank you so much! I won’t let you down.” I turned to leave, but my mom’s voice stopped me.

“Wayne, we know you want to play in the NHL. If you do make it, there are two things I want you to do.”

“Okay.”

“I want you to give back to your community, and I want you to give to your church.”

“Yes, Mom. Of course. When I make it to the NHL, I’ll give back.”

The NHL was still a ways off, but it meant so much that my parents believed in me.

I was busy, to say the least. I was waking up at five a.m. to go to work with my dad. In between high school classes and hockey practice, I was squeezing in extra construction shifts whenever I could. I saved every dollar, and when I tried out for the Junior Canadiens that spring, I not only made the team, but I had my half of the money—$3,000—to pay the fees. The manual labour had the added bonus of getting me in great shape, and I had a strong season—nobody pushed me off the puck that year!

Here I am with the Toronto Aces celebrating our city championship win against the Vaughan Panthers. This was the year before I moved up to the AAA level.

Our hard work paid off, too. At our all-Ontario playoffs, Mike McCourt, the head coach for the Brockville Braves, saw me play and asked me to come to Brockville for a tryout. After I did, he offered me a spot on his team. I was in the juniors! My parents were thrilled that we’d made it this far together.

It all felt a little surreal. I remember walking into the dressing room for the first time and seeing my sweater hanging on my stall. We had new equipment, too—all the composite sticks a guy could want!

From there, things started happening for me. In 2006, I was drafted by the Owen Sound Attack, a really good team in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Even when I was playing in the OHL, I couldn’t forget about Scarborough, though. My buddies were part of a summer league ball hockey team, and it looked like so much fun that I joined them. In the off-seasons, I’d stay fit by chasing a ball inside a local rink on a hot and humid day—the opposite of those freezing-cold mornings with my dad when I was a kid.

It was on one such summer Saturday in 2007 that I received a phone call that changed my life. It was from Mike Futa, the former GM of the Owen Sound Attack and the current head of amateur scouting for the LA Kings.

“They want you, Wayne. You can score goals and skate fast. And you’re tough enough to stand up for your teammates.”

“This is a dream come true, Mike! Thank you.”

It took a moment to sink in that I had made the LA Kings as a twenty-year-old rookie and that I was being paid to play hockey.

As soon as I heard the news that I had been drafted, I called my parents.

“I have big news! I got into the NHL! The LA Kings want me.”

All I could hear was a big sob on the other line. “Oh, Wayne,” my mom started. “I’m so proud of you.”

There was a cough, then my dad spoke. “Way to go. I knew you could do it.” His voice was eerily calm.

Was he trying not to cry? I wondered. “Just think, a few years earlier we couldn’t afford AAA. Now I’m in the NHL,” I said. “I couldn’t have done this without all your support, guys. You sacrificed so much for me.”

“You worked hard, Wayne. You earned this,” my mom said.

I couldn’t stop smiling. Anything was truly possible.

I had so much to thank my parents for, but if it wasn’t for the help from those in our hockey community in Scarborough, I would never have made it to the NHL. They gave me the chance to play the game I love. I knew I had to honour my promise to my mom to give back, but at first, I didn’t know what I could do.

After my fourth year in the NHL, I was traded from the LA Kings to the Philadelphia Flyers. By then, I was an established professional athlete making a good living. I got in touch with Brandon Sinclair, a friend of mine from my minor-league hockey days in Scarborough. Both of our families struggled to put us through hockey, and it was the support of the community that allowed us to continue to play. The costs have only risen since then.

We got to talking about how great the hockey camps we went to as kids were, how seeing the NHLers motivated us, and we decided that we should do something similar to grow the game and support the next generation of Canadian hockey players. We wanted to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged kids and give them the opportunity to learn and play hockey.

I was also inspired by Willie O’Ree, the first black player in the NHL and the head of the league’s diversity program, so one of my personal goals for a hockey camp was to get other NHL players who look like me involved in the camp and show the kids from visible minorities that hockey is an option for them, that hockey is for everyone. Inclusivity will only make the sport itself better.

Together Brandon and I started Wayne’s Road Hockey Warriors, a charity ball hockey tournament for Scarborough kids to meet and play with NHL stars. The summer of 2012, we launched our first event. I’ll never forget that day.

I walked into the Scarborough Gardens Arena—where years earlier I had played—nervous about how the day was going to go, but excited to meet the kids and the parents who were huddled in little groups around the arena. I went over to one.

Posing with the winning team at the fifth annual tournament.

“Hey, guys, I’m Wayne. How are you all doing today?” I held out my hand to fist-bump one of the boys who looked to be about eight or nine. He shyly nudged my hand back.

The rest of the group exchanged furtive looks and whispers until one of the moms behind the kids stepped forward.

“Sorry, I think they’re a little starstruck.”

“Oh.” I was shocked. To me, it didn’t feel that long ago that I was their age and at a hockey camp.

“It’s okay. I’m sure they’ll loosen up,” she continued. “Wayne, we’re all just so thrilled about what you’re doing here. Thank you!”

“It’s my pleasure. This community has always taken care of me, so it’s important to me to give back.” I looked down at the kids. “Okay, are you guys ready to play some hockey?”

“Yeah!” they cheered.

After we introduced the kids to Drew Doughty and Chris and Anthony Stewart, we gave them new gloves, helmets, sticks, jerseys, and a good bag. Then we divided them up into groups to play hockey. In no time, the arena was filled with the sound of sticks slapping the floor, and man, did we have fun. It was so rewarding to see the smiles on their faces when they mastered a stickhandling move or scored a goal. The best moment was awarding the Wayne’s Road Hockey Warriors’ trophy to the winning team.

Throughout the day we hosted raffles for equipment and other prizes, signed autographs, and took lots of pictures. Everything went off without a hitch, and we’ve never looked back since. We’ve now hosted six tournaments and raised approximately $100,000. We’ve been able to sponsor over forty kids so they can play hockey without worrying about equipment or registration fees. And with all the donations from the NHL Players’ Association, Bauer, and Warrior Sports, we’ve given over 550 kids free equipment.

I’ve invited Tyler Seguin, Darnell Nurse, Jordan Subban, Joel Ward, Devante Smith-Pelly, and many other guys from all over the NHL to come to our tournament, and they always say yes. They want to give back, too. As do the kids. A lot of them come back to work as counsellors. The cycle of hockey is like the cycle of life. As you gain more experience, you try to pass that knowledge on to others.

This candid photo was taken during the celebrity game finale at the second annual Wayne’s Road Hockey Warriors tournament. I had just scored a goal and was celebrating my victory.

Whenever parents tell me how much they appreciate the camp, I think of how these parents belong to the same community that stepped in to help me when I was growing up, donating used equipment, taking me to games and practices. Hockey is so much about the togetherness of a community. It was through them and through hockey that I learned I could do anything if I put my heart and soul into it. And that’s the real goal of the camp: to show the kids that they can do whatever they put their mind to.

I was able to keep my promise to my mom and give back to the community that helped me achieve my dream. Now my new dream is to see someone from the camp make it to the NHL. Someday I hope one of the kids skates by me during an NHL game and says, “Do you remember me? I went to one of your camps.” And then gives me a big cross-check in the back.

There’s an old saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Scarborough definitely raised me as a hockey player, and I’m so proud that I get to be a part of that community.

Sigismond, Prince of Poland, has been imprisoned in a tower since the day he was born by his father, King Basilio, following a grim prophecy that the prince would bring disaster to the country and death to the King.

When King Basilio has doubts thirty years later, he finally frees his son. But, with his newfound liberation, the prince goes on a rampage, behaving like a wild animal. Captured and imprisoned once more, Basilio is able to convince Sigismond that his experiences of freedom were but a dream.

The citizens of the kingdom, however, remember the truth. Now viewing their king as monstrous for his actions against his son, they rebel, potentially setting the kingdom's fate at Sigismond's feet, a "man among wild beasts, and a wild beast amongst men.]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/71260054-96cb-44f4-abe8-b3e30034fd0a 01 ABLAZE SIMN711 ABLAZE 01 01 ABLAZE SIMN711 ABLAZE Publishing 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 10.25 in 01 260.35 mm 02 6.75 in 02 171.45 mm 08 0.407 lb 08 6.512 oz 08 184.61 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 48 02 39.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260719 02 46.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 46.99 0.00 20260719 ABLAZE Publishing AU 01 20261110 9781684973590 02 02 1684973597 03 9781684973590 14 19781684973597 15 9781684973590 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>POPEYE: MAN OVERBOARD HC</TitleText> 01 263827104 1 A01 Antoine Ozanam Ozanam, Antoine Antoine Ozanam 2 A12 Lelis Lelis Lelis Antoine Ozanam 01 eng 104 00 104 03 CGN018000 WHC 2.1 10 CGN020000 10 CGN034000 20 Popeye, Graphic Novel 93 XA 01 01 01 02
But this isn't exactly the Popeye you know. In this graphic novel there are other layers. A melancholy and beauty that only the exuberant watercolor art of Lelis and the sharp, sensitive script of Antoine Ozanam could express.

Unlike the famous cartoons, the Popeye of this tale is an unlikely hero who could be found in any port around the world. In the story, a strange girl with flowery language arrives to hit him in his healthy eye. He's too old for her, but Olive is his girl, without a doubt. Like any man in love, reason disappears, and Popeye agrees to go on an adventure with Olive's brother...in search of a fabulous treasure.

ABLAZE is proud to bring this acclaimed work of French writer Ozanam and multi-award-winning Brazilian artist Lelis to English readers worldwide. A brilliant reinterpretation of the origin of the character. And a magnificent adventure story!]]> 13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/f48d1b3e-cd51-45f5-a9ce-b3e30035063c 01 ABLAZE SIMN711 ABLAZE 01 01 ABLAZE SIMN711 ABLAZE Publishing 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 10.25 in 01 260.35 mm 02 6.75 in 02 171.45 mm 08 0.833 lb 08 13.328 oz 08 377.84 gr Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 24 02 32.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 32.99 0.00 20260719 02 37.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 37.99 0.00 20260719 ABLAZE Publishing AU 01 20261110 9781684975167 02 02 1684975166 03 9781684975167 14 19781684975164 15 9781684975167 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback Get Schooled 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>GET SCHOOLED VOL. 6</TitleText> 01 263828533 1 A01 Yongtaek Chae Chae, Yongtaek Yongtaek Chae 2 A07 Garam Han Han, Garam Garam Han Yongtaek Chae 01 eng 284 00 284 03 CGN018000 WHC 2.1 10 CGN004050 20 Get Schooled, Graphic Novel 93 XAB 01 01 17 03 16 04 99 01 02

Another middle-grade novel, The Doll Snatchers, was published in 1969. In addition, Norma was the author of numerous books and short stories for adults. Norma’s daughter Sue Kassirer was thrilled to recently rediscover the original manuscript for The Knitting Witch, a story she had loved as a child. Wanting to share it with today’s children, Sue proceeded to edit and gently update the story, drawing on her many years of experience as a children’s book editor at Simon & Schuster, The Viking Press, Random House, and Harper Collins.

And this question seems to require continuous revaluation with each major technological shift. …

This book is concerned with the aesthetic facets of “artificial life”. It argues that the boundary between the living and the non-living, the real and the fake, the natural and the artificial, are continuously constructed and re-constructed via aesthetic means. These boundaries determine the content of the category of “life”, and it is the realm of the aesthetic that determines our understanding of these boundaries.

When cinephile Jamie Prescott attends a speed-dating event, she expects to meet some mediocre men and have a laugh – she doesn’t expect one of her dates to have his throat slit at her table during a blackout. When the lights come back on, there are more bodies on the floor and the doors are locked.

Armed with makeshift weapons and her extensive knowledge of what not to do in a slasher, Jamie must figure out how to make it out of the building alive. But as the night progresses, she begins to suspect the killer is committing the slayings to woo one of the daters. Whatever happened to roses and perfume?

And why can’t Jamie stay focused on the important thing here, which is obviously not getting murdered, instead of being distracted by a few hot guys? Especially if one of those hot guys happens to be the bad guy…

Oops. 

Laugh-out-loud funny and hide-under-your-bed scary, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates puts the killer in killer love story.

One dark winter night, a young woman – barefoot, in silk pyjamas and holding a hotel room key – collapses in the carpark of a Tasmanian hospital. The only witness is Liv, an exhausted emergency nurse who fails to save her.

Haunted by her mistake and determined to discover the woman’s identity, Liv's search takes her to remote wilds of Macquarie Heads. There an exclusive health resort rises from the coastline: the Aonaran, where the ultra-wealthy come to reset, renew, and remake themselves.

For Liv, whose 'self-care' involves sneaking Valium mid-shift and burying everything she feels, this promise is almost enough to distract her from her search.

But the deeper Liv goes, the more unsettling the resort becomes. A staff member has vanished. The guests seem to be watching her. And beneath the Aonaran’s serene surface, a different kind of transformation is taking place – one that will force Liv to ask: what is the true cost of a better life, and is she prepared to pay?

In this fascinating new work by the beloved chronicler of women’s lives, Kaz Cooke uncovers the extraordinary stories of women who conjured ghosts, delivered prophecies, read minds and performed miracles – whether by genuine belief, theatrical flair, calculated fraud or sheer survival instinct. From the Victorian séance parlours of the Fox sisters to the enduring legend of Bess Houdini, these women built careers in worlds dominated by male rationalists, using wit, spectacle and audacity to make their own way.

Featuring an unforgettable cast of characters – including Madame Blavatsky, Helen Duncan, the last woman tried for witchcraft, Girardelli the Fireproof Lady, Adelaide Herrmann and the ‘Wild Colonial Girls’ of Australia’s spiritualist scene – Spooky Ladies explores the blurred line between performance, belief, feminism and deception.

Rich with astonishing true stories and fabulous archival photographs, this is a spirited journey through the lives of women who ignored convention, embraced mystery and lived gloriously unladylike lives. By turns funny, thought-provoking and utterly spellbinding, Spooky Ladies asks whether today’s astrologers, TikTok witches and modern mystics are simply the latest in a long line of independent women making magic from their own ingenuity.

Parker;  93 FMR 93 FMB 93 FJ 01 02 A sweeping romantasy debut about sisterhood, rebellion, and the danger of forbidden love, featuring ancient immortal clans, hidden spells, morally grey love interests, and a war that threatens to fracture the realms – for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Penn Cole and Victoria Aveyard.

Exiled to the mortal realm of Asterra for a crime their mother committed, Siren sisters Adriana and Estelle have spent their lives as outcasts in an underwater clan, forbidden to return to the immortal realm of Eryndor.

While Adriana is determined to win back the favour of the immortals who banished them, Estelle is increasingly drawn to the rebellion – which seeks to overthrow the immortal ruling class. 

As monsters from the underworld slip through a breach in the gate between realms, the rebellion makes their move, forcing the sisters to take sides. Adriana must choose between upholding the laws or standing with her sister. But Estelle isn’t just chasing danger – she’s falling for it. Her connection to a rebel leader threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about loyalty, love, and the price of freedom.

As war breaks out, the sisters will be forced to use their Siren songs – but who will surface triumphant, and who will sink down to greater depths?

In Trinidad, a mother sends a final letter to her son overseas. In the Southern Ocean, a migrating bird spots land after a gruelling 11,000-kilometre flight. In Amsterdam, a community stands together, resolute against ideologies that seek to divide them. 

Spanning continents, generations and perspectives, these are the voices of some of the world’s most exciting literary authors. In twenty stories and twenty distinctive voices, Bright Side reveals one enduring belief: that hope can be found in even the most troubled times.

Over 1 billion women around the globe are navigating menopause. Many are sexually active, yet their deeper desirous nature is barely represented in mainstream media. They feel misunderstood and invisible. I don’t feel like myself. My libido has disappeared. Why does sex feel different? Women who have never been given permission to understand ageing with agency.
Sexy Menopause is a holy disruption of everything women were taught to believe about desire, ageing and worth.
Drawing on decades of experience as a physiotherapist and pelvic and sexual health educator, and her own initiation through menopause and betrayal, Lisa Fitzpatrick blends storytelling, clinical insight, and evidence-based pelvic wisdom to help women navigate the biological event and spiritual threshold of midlife.
This book is a radical reframe of menopause as an erotic, psychological and spiritual awakening. Women deserve to feel sacred and undeniably sexy.

Thought odd by the locals, she is tolerated for her rare gift with animals. Engaging with her fellow humans is difficult, with one exception: goatherd Lukas, who shares her love of storytelling.

The peace of Heartwood is shattered when a group of soldiers descends, under orders from the Ruler of the Northlands. Their mission: to hack a path through the forest and find the fabled treasure said to lie deep within. Under the gruelling decree, Stasya's village falls into chaos. The task is clearly impossible. The forest is alive with bears and wolves, and the old tales speak of evil spirits, monsters and uncanny beings. Nobody has ever gone deep into Heartwood Forest and returned safe and well.

When Stasya raises her voice in protest she is removed from her beloved home and transported to court - a different world. Word of her special skills has reached the Ruler's ears, and Lady Elisabeta has a job for her. But Stasya will not break her vow to protect the forest, even under the most appalling threat. Help comes from an unlikely quarter.

Secrets abound; dangers lie everywhere; and it is hard to tell friend from foe. As Stasya and her band of unlikely allies embark on a perilous mission, it becomes apparent that uncanny forces may indeed be involved. Maybe the old tales of the Hermit are true.

Banks writes direct, accessible poems with strong allusions and 100% certified “fresh” images so seasoned poetry fans and those not accustomed to the genre can both find something to enjoy. He reminds readers that everyone needs “a bushel of smiles” or “a first aid / kit of laughing gas” to poison our anxieties with joy, and he does not shy away from difficult topics like toxic masculinity or mental health struggles. “Beauty is not beauty / without the ugliness surrounding it,” Banks says.

In Bureau of Useless Splendour, Banks lets his imagination roam across the science of DNA sequencing, internet memes, space-time physics, Canadian nationalism, a lunar discussion between Canadian poet Gwendolyn MacEwen and American poet Frank Stanford, and even reimagined fortune cookie “fortunes” — as if to illustrate that tucked away among the allusions to pop culture and Shakespeare, poems about Johannes Gutenberg and the Martian mountain Olympus Mons, there exists a dusty old office where the poet sits, creating vivid, delightful pieces and mischievous “invoices” dedicated to the beauty and wonder of this world.]]> 13 02 Chris Banks is a Pushcart-nominated Canadian poet with eight collections of poems. He has won two national awards, and his poems have appeared across Canada and the United States. Banks runs The Woodlot, a Canadian poetry reviews and essays website.

    From his beginnings in public housing in Ottawa to building acclaimed brands like Sully & Son Co., House of Hayla, and Black Designers of Canada, George Sully’s journey defies the odds and the gatekeepers of an industry slow to embrace diversity.

    Through unflinching honesty and hard-won insight, Sully reflects on his triumphs and setbacks, navigating systemic exclusion, building his own platforms, and reimagining what it means to succeed on one’s own terms. His story extends beyond fashion to entrepreneurship, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to keep building when no one is watching.

    From creating the iconic Starfleet Boot for Star Trek: Discovery to mentoring the next generation of designers, Sully has left an indelible mark on Canadian culture. But Designing in the Dark is not just a memoir of success, it is a blueprint for creative survival and self-determination.

    Poignant, inspiring, and deeply human, Sully’s narrative illuminates the tension between legacy and reinvention, urging readers to rise above the darkness and design a life that endures beyond it.]]>         13 02 George Sully is an award-winning designer, creative director, and entrepreneur based in Toronto, ON.

    Immediately upon his release from a 25-year prison sentence, former veterinarian Trevor Westmore gets his first surprise as a free man: A guard gives him a German shepherd puppy. While Trevor anxiously tries to build a new life, his dog, Libby, provides the routine and responsibility he needs to navigate his re-entry into society.

    All Trevor wants is to earn a living, to stay out of trouble, and to be left alone — until he meets and falls for local veterinarian Laura Fenway. But they both have their secrets. When she learns the truth of Trevor’s past will she consider a future together? And when he discovers the lengths she’ll go to rescue dogs, will he jeopardize his long-awaited freedom?

    When The Hills debuted on May 31, 2006, the world was unprepared for its shiny, cocktail-fueled, and unprecedented success. Seemingly overnight, fans were either Team Lauren or Team Heidi, although everyone could agree that Justin Bobby was the worst. In You Know What You Did, culture writer Lisa Whittington-Hill charts the explosive rise of one of television’s first polished (and possibly scripted) docusoaps, one that set the trajectory for how women who were “famous for being famous” — from the Real Housewives to the Kardashians — would be seen by the world for the decades to come.

    The Hills followed Lauren Conrad as she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams of working in fashion. At the show’s peak, 4.8 million viewers tuned in to watch Lauren and her friends Heidi, Audrina, and Whitney intern at Teen Vogue, spill tea over sushi, and lounge by the pool at the Roosevelt Hotel. As their popularity grew, they became bona fide celebrities, experiencing the same vicious tabloid culture as other young female stars, navigating familiar rumors about sex tapes, plastic surgery, and addictions. Soon, slick docusoaps focused on the lifestyles of the wannabe rich and almost famous were everywhere and encouraged their female leads to stay skinny, behave badly, and, above all else, keep their names in the headlines.

Steeped more deeply in symbolism and surrealism, Farhang: Book Two binds the natural world through which Woodcock walked to his need to artistically archive a life before memory distorts it — before truth turns to fable, and fable to forgetting.

    In Farhang: Book Two, Patrick Woodcock continues to celebrate, honor, and mourn the world he’s witnessed during three decades as a migrant writer. After expanding upon the Farhang character in the book’s opening section, he then turns inward — abandoning the lyric “I” for an intimate, universal “you.” In this voice, “you” may become a boat, a raven, a wooden cross fashioned from a transport skid — or even a beloved Rubens painting drifting across Frobisher Bay.

    Structurally, this collection departs from the geography of its predecessor, no longer dividing its poems by country. Instead, it threads together fragments from more than 40 nations, interwoven within each poem to evoke the shared pulse of humanity — the universality of joy and mourning, of celebration and loss — revealed in the ways we honor our dead and the instruments we raise to praise the living.]]>         13 02 Patrick Woodcock is the author of 10 books of poetry and one collection of short stories. His work has been translated and published in 14 languages. He works for United for Literacy and divides his time between Toronto and Nunavut as the instructor/coordinator for its Nunavut Justice Program, for which he won the Council of the Federation Literacy Award.]]> 08 02 Farhang: Book II, Patrick Woodcock’s eleventh book of poetry, is a striking and immersive collection that moves with rare confidence between geographies, inner weather, and moral tension. Built on a disciplined structure yet alive with restless motion, the poems carry the reader across ice, sea, and memory, where landscape is never passive.

Tech can amplify our feelings, foster ‘emotional contagion’, and help us to build close relationships. Our emotional intelligence has already been expanded, from the nuanced expression of a well-timed GIF to the ways we treat Siri and Alexa more like friends than computer programs. 

    But could the next wave of tech rewire the way we express ourselves and understand others even further? And, with computers now able to read and express sentiments too, how can we best navigate this new landscape in which our emotional lives have become inextricably entwined with our digital lives? 

    We’re often told just to ‘switch off’, but that’s becoming more difficult. Instead of raging against the machines, we could learn how to live with them. Tech no longer stands apart from who we are; it is reshaping our inner lives. In this groundbreaking and much-needed book, Pamela Pavliscak provides the toolkit we’ve been waiting for, encouraging readers to look forward to a healthier, more emotionally diverse future. It’s time to harness the power of technology to lead emotionally rich lives – both online and off.

    Former Good Food Guide editor Andrew Turvil was there, tasting Marco Pierre White’s three Michelin starred food, clocking Jamie Oliver’s first TV take, and fielding volcanic phone calls from irate chefs. In sparkling prose and a veritable feast of 1990s food, Blood, Sweat & Asparagus Spears charts the wild ride from the cigarette-fueled ‘SAS of kitchens’ to Nobu’s celebrity glamour via the £5 recession lunch and the arrival of conveyor-belt sushi.

    What you’ll find inside:
     First-hand stories from Marco Pierre White, Paul Heathcote, Vineet Bhatia, Heston Blumenthal, and more.
     The 1990s trends that shaped today - coffee outlets rose 847% and monthly eating-out nearly tripled by 2015, while organic sales doubled.
     A tasting tour of 33 iconic dishes that still shape restaurant menus now, from Black Cod Miso to Triple-Cooked Chips.
     Insight into how the 1990s forged the careers of current headline chefs and set the template for Britain’s modern, multicultural food identity

    Fast-paced, funny and meticulously researched, this is a love-letter to restaurants—and the people who bled to make them great. If you’ve ever yelled “Yes, chef!” at a TV, queued for ramen, or Instagrammed a marrow bone, this is your origin story. This is the ultimate feast of 90s nostalgia.

From Australia to the Caribbean to Afghanistan, they explore the way cricket developed across the globe, examining its role in colonialism, education and politics; where it flourished and where it failed to take root. 

    In its earliest forms in the 18th century, cricket was a commercial entertainment, a vehicle for gambling alongside cock-fighting or wrestling. In the Victorian era, the sport was rejuvenated as a means of keeping order in England’s public schools and increasingly became linked with ideas of virtue and manliness. Exported by empire loyalists abroad, cricket took root across the globe – wildly successfully in some countries, indelibly linked with racism and violence in others, and failing to thrive in certain regions. At all times, the authors argue, cricket either evolves or dies. Today, the monetisation of cricket suggests it has returned to its original purpose – less a sport or self-mythologising value system than a commercial enterprise to be ruthlessly exploited.

    In the early 1920s, China’s boy ruler Puyi and his child bride Wanrong were sequestered within the ancient citadel: a city-within-a-city, a haven prohibited to all except the imperial family and its scheming courtiers, fawning servants and corrupt eunuchs. An emperor without an empire, Puyi did not know from one day to the next whether he would experience restoration or assassination. Two years later, the couple was expelled into eternal exile, bringing an end to the centuries-old Manchu Dynasty.

    This extraordinary story has captivated us for generations – but we have never before seen the full picture. Now, Paul French draws upon previously unpublished sources, including memoirs, diaries and letters, to dispel the myth of a loveless marriage between an impotent emperor and a neglected empress. He takes us deep inside the hidden world of Puyi and Wanrong, and the cast of colourful characters that surrounded them, from tutors Reginald Johnston and Isabel Ingram to Wenxiu, the oft-forgotten chief consort to the emperor kept in the shadows of the Forbidden City.

    What emerges is a sweeping tale of tradition and revolution, of duty and intrigue – and a young married couple facing a hostile world. It is a mesmerising portrait of a dying regime: the final days of the Forbidden City as they have never been seen before.

    The war is just beginning.

    When the city fell, Maris lost everything--her freedom, her future, and the man she loved. Now, with Luca trapped behind the gates of Isara, she makes a choice that will change her life forever: to don the armor of the enemy and march back into the heart of the city she was forced to flee. Every step brings her closer to Luca, but also deeper into the blood-soaked machine of war.

    Inside Isara's walls, Luca wrestles with a truth more dangerous than any sword. Once the symbol of the Loyal Legion, he has lost the thing he was truly fighting for--Maris. The shift of the war has left him to question whether he has become a pawn of the gods, and with betrayal lurking in every shadow, Luca must decide who he is: the dutiful soldier forged by rebellion, or the man willing to risk everything for love.

    Across battlefields and through broken temples, Maris and Luca's treacherous paths through Isara are set to collide. And when the gods demand sacrifice, it comes in a form no one could have expected.

Ever since her goblin parents ripped her away from the human family that raised her, Toast has struggled to find security in the transactional world of the fabled goblin market, where anything can be bought and everything has a price. As a guide for humans that stumble into the Market, she’s learned that the fae world is cruel to the unwary.

    The only fae friend she trusts is the enigmatic Kulm, the ageless guardian whose existence anchors and protects the Market. But when the wayward human Sam stumbles into the Market and Kulm is found murdered, Toast will have to barter harder than ever before. Sam is accused of the murder though Toast knows she’s innocent. With the begrudging help of a goblin fruit-addicted artist, a reluctant kelpie, and a fae princess with her own agenda, Toast will traverse the strange, fluid and twisting halls of the Market in search of the rarest commodity amongst the fae: the truth.

    When the high fae courts take advantage in the power vacuum left by Kulm’s death, it’s Toast’s home and her strange community that is threatened by stakes greater than one murder. What’s more, the abduction of Sam’s sister by the high fae—which caused Sam to seek the Market in the first place—makes their role in Kulm’s death suspect. Exactly what trade are the power-hungry fae scheming? And can any of Toast’s market-bound family afford the dangerous cost?

    Ultimately, when bartering for the very heart of the Market itself, Toast will have to decide where her loyalties lie, the value of a home, and what’s not for sale.

Victorious, he turns his attention on Aglea in the north, where pagan berserkers rule over inhospitable, monster- infested marshes. Prince Nassar and his entourage have also fled to Aglea to rally his supporters against Bataar—spreading a ghoulish plague wherever they go.

    Princess Nohra is soon to be married to Bataar. Nohra has not forgiven the rhah’s sins against her country or her family, but her thirst for vengeance wars with her feelings for Bataar’s wife, Qaira. Now, as Bataar forces her to participate in the conquest of her mother’s country, wielding her best friend Darya’s terrifying demonic powers as a weapon, Nohra’s conflicted loyalties threaten to tear her apart.

    Nobody knows what Darya is capable of. Bataar’s strange supernatural gifts are growing more powerful by the day—and beginning to slip from his control. Only one thing is certain: everywhere, the eyes of monsters, gods, and djinn are watching. One wrong move could tip everything into chaos.

    Determined not to let anyone else die, Kitt gathers a mismatched group – including Two Tongue Derna, her childhood friend and now a renowned street duellist, and Sulian the Swallowmage, powerful but plagued with intrusive visions of futures – and sets off across the Timeless Lands to warn the destiny’s recipient. 

    However, unbeknownst to Kitt, she has her own destiny; one which might spell disaster for everyone.

    In the great walled city of Isara, political turmoil ignites a rebellion one hundred years in the making. But when a legionnaire falls in love with a Magistrate's daughter, their love will threaten the fate of the city and the will of the gods.

    Luca Matius has one purpose―to carry on the family name, maintaining its presence in the Forum once his powerful and cruel uncle dies. But his noviceship with the city's Philosopher places him in the middle of a catastrophe that will alter the destiny of his people.

    Maris Casperia was raised amidst the strategic maneuvers of the Citadel's inner workings, and she knows what her future holds―a lifetime of service to a corrupt city. But her years of serving as a novice to the last Priestess who possesses the stolen magic of the Old War has made her envision a different kind of future for the city. When she meets Luca, a fated chain of events is set into motion that will divinely entangle their lives.

    As a secret comes to light and throws the city into chaos, Luca and Maris hatch a plot to create a calculated alliance that could tip the scales of power. But when an execution forces Luca to become the symbol of rebellion, he and Maris are thrown onto opposite sides of a holy war. As their fates diverge, they learn they are at the center of a story the gods are writing. And even if they can find their way back to each other, there may be nothing left.

    Marion is in deep. She’s stolen money in a desperate bid to help her sister escape an abusive marriage, but when the bus breaks down late at night, in the middle of nowhere, the only vacancies are in an old set of cabins on the outskirts of town. Norm Billings, the young innkeeper, is handsome, charming and a touch hung-up on his elderly mother. 

    Back in her room, scrubbing off the late-summer heat in the shower, the curtain is pulled back and Norm is there with a knife. But before he can strike, Marion knees him in the balls, grabs the knife, and stabs the life out of him. Now, she’s covered in blood, and she’s a woman on the run—not just a thief, but a killer, too.

    In Psycho, Hitchcock shocked audiences when he killed off his protagonist. But what if the leading lady had fought back? What if the knife is in her hands—and she’s no victim?

    Monster Hunter and Empire of the Vampire collide in the adventurous sequel to Seven Recipes for Revolution, guaranteed to make you crave delicious fantasy dishes.

    Three years after eating the rich, Paprick Bessa is an infamous warchef known as the Butcher. Numbed by grief and war with the ousted rulers, Paprick no longer enjoys cooking and can’t create new recipes. So when Ranch finally reaches a tenuous ceasefire with the Rare, Paprick seizes the chance to reheat his passions, opening a restaurant with a menu all his own.

    But conspiracy interrupts the opening night, his own emphon destroy the restaurant, and all signs point to the neighbouring Empire of the Badgeboar. Whoever orchestrated this threatens to destroy everything Paprick and Ranch’s common fought for, and the Butcher leaves no threat breathing. To find the attacker and stop another all-out war, Paprick, his partner Cori, and his kitchen brigade journey west to curry favour with the Empire’s questionable elite and investigate its mysterious religions.

    Elān’s life changed forever when the loud-mouthed raven chose him to go on a journey to save his people. Now returned from his quest, Elān is changed, withdrawn—and will not touch the weapon he is destined to wield. Raven knows that Elān must take up the weapon for his people, or cast it back into the Koosh world through the Door. But Elān will not budge. The invading Koosh loom ever closer, and Elān’s people have no hero to fight for them.

    So raven turns to Kwa, Elān’s sour yet tough companion.

    Kwa is determined to prove herself, doing whatever it takes to become the warrior leader her people need her to be. With Chetdyl the wolf by her side, she prepares an attack against the Koosh. But she knows that what she really needs is the weapon Elān refuses to use. If he won’t use it, she will. But the weapon will not bow to her – unless she does as raven says and pushes Elān through the Door herself.]]>         13 02 08 02 well, when they feel fresh and unexpected.

    Britain, 2019.

    The secluded rural village of Harrowvale holds a dark past: years earlier, on a farm bordering the woods, a cult—led by the charismatic Jasper Hillman—sought to escape civilisation and find purity in the old ways, namely worshipping an ancient deity called Thistlebone. The cult’s pagan beliefs grew so deranged that they kidnapped a young girl, Avril Eason, with the intention of sacrificing her. But Avril escaped… and now, so many years later, she returns to Harrowvale to face the demons of her past.

    Haunting and visceral, the Complete Thistlebone collects volumes 1-3 of the acclaimed folk horror series by T.C. Eglington and Simon Davis.]]>         13 02 T.C.

    When Benedikt Bösel took over his family’s 3,000-hectare farm and forest estate in Brandenburg, Germany, he set out to prove that regenerative, multifunctional land use isn't just possible – it’s essential. Through a bold mix of forestry, research, cows and compost, agroforestry and agriculture, he and his team are working to restore broken nutrient cycles, build climate resilience and reimagine how we use the land.

    Driven by curiosity and courage, Benedikt built a team of talented, energetic and innovative doers, in order to explore whats possible in one of Germanys driest areas. Along the way, he drew inspiration from both pioneering innovators and time-honoured traditions that all shared the same truth: it all begins with soil.

    Food & Farm Revolution is the inspiring story of that journey – a call to action for anyone concerned about the future of food, farming, and our planet.]]>         13 02

    In this thoughtful and provocative book, Elbæk explores many of the challenges and contradictions that define our time – especially the urgent question: What kind of world are we leaving for future generations?

    Chapter by chapter Elbæk confronts the planetary endgame we face. A collapse of both outer and inner structures. From climate collapse, epidemics and violent social, political and technological conflicts, through the weakening of democratic institutions, right-wing radicalisation and fighting over resources, to regional warfare and the reemergence of something looking very much like old-fashioned imperialism.

    He refuses to accept despair. Why? Because he knows that another world is possible. And that it is already here in the values-driven entrepreneurs, democratic businesses, citizen groups, cooperatives, cultural initiatives, organic farming collectives and a whole new generation of progressive political voices. Every one of them is a pledge that a green, democratic, post-capitalist society is possible.

    Blending sharp social analysis with heartfelt optimism, Doubt, Hope, Action urges progressive movements and all people to recognise their shared purpose—and to unite, mobilise, and act.

    “Michelangelo's David of the genre” Record Collector

    “A compelling retelling of the story” Mojo

    The definitive oral history of Pink Floyd as told by friends, associates, family members and the band themselves through exclusive, never before published interviews.

    Bestselling music author Mark Blake has been an associate and collaborator of Pink Floyd for over thirty years. Shine On takes on the behemoth task of capturing the most comprehensive history of the band ever compiled, drawing on huge amounts of new, archive and unpublished interview material with Gilmour, Waters, Mason and Wright. No other writer has interviewed the members of Pink Floyd as often nor as thoroughly, which is candidly apparent in this textured, gripping and consistently surprising biography. For the first time, the band's story is told as an oral history with each chapter presented through the words the band, their friends, contemporaries and supporting musicians. The accessible structure and high level of detail means that the narrative is both approachable to casual readers and magnetic to the committed.

    Shine On is comprised of a significant amount of previously unpublished material, including a rare interview with Rosemary Breen lamenting that her younger brother Roger, aka Syd Barrett, should have never become a musician as well as exclusive new interviews with the band and their associates, reflecting on their enduring legacy and rather more complicated recent twists and turns in the bands story.

    Shine On is a skilful retelling of one of the most turbulent and enduring groups in rock music history, a complex history that only someone as skilled and insightful as Blake can navigate.]]>         13 02 Pigs Might Fly (2007) and more recently Magnifico!

    “A tale of pop life well lived” Shindig

    “Winningly captures the devil-may-care optimism of adolescence” Guardian

    An evocative coming of age story from one of the UK’s first ever female post-punk musicians.

    Debsey Wykes was the bass playing singer in the first all girl punk group Dolly Mixture. Thrown into the musky, misogynistic, male dominated world of the UK music industry in the late 1970s, they enjoyed unlikely #1 success alongside Captain Sensible of The Damned on1982’s even unlikelier cover version of ‘Happy Talk’, whilst fame and success on their own individual terms alluded them.

    Debsey went onto greater prominence with Saint Etienne with who she has performed since 1992, whilst in 2025, desirable Dolly Mixture reissues sell out around the world as quickly as they are printed.

    Featuring a cast of contemporary post-punk heroes – rom Paul Weller and the Jam (their first record label boss) to Madness and the Pogues – Teenage Daydream is a unique coming of age story of youthful ambition, enterprising DIY musical ethics and how an unlikely bunch of school-girl friends ended up on Top of the Pops in home made hula skirts.]]>         13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/1a64394c-3019-4232-96db-b44500289b32 01 New Modern SIMN357 New Modern 01 01 New Modern SIMN357 Putman Publishing 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 7.795 in 01 198 mm 02 5.079 in 02 129 mm Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 02 24.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 24.99 0.00 20260719 02 28.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 28.99 0.00 20260719 Putman Publishing AU 01 20261110     9781917923491 02 02 191792349X 03 9781917923491 14 19781917923498 15 9781917923491 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Truly Gifted Kids</TitleText> <Subtitle>A Book About a Band Called Prefab Sprout</Subtitle> 01 257405019 1 A01 Nige Tassell Tassell, Nige Nige Tassell The Guardian, The Sunday Times, GQ, Esquire, FourFourTwo, The Blizzard and When Saturday Comes among others, and his previous books include non-league football classic The Bottom Corner, Three Weeks, Eight Seconds, Boot Sale, Butch Wilkins and the Sundance Kid and And It's a Beautiful Day. ]]> 01 eng 400 00 400 03 MUS029000 AVGN 2.1 10 BIO004000 10 MUS050000 12 BGF 12 AVH 20 Steve McQueen, Jordan the Comeback, Paddy McAloon, Martin McAloon, Wendy Smith, Swoon, King of Rock n Roll, Hot Dog, Jumping Frog, Alberqueue, When Love Breaks Down, Cars and Girls, Megahertz, Motorbike, Crimson, Beard, Recluse, Kitchenware, Cult, Guitars, Mysterious, Idiosyncratic, Singular, Langley Park, Memphis, County Durham, Geordie, Jimy Nail, Newcastle, Unreleased, Prolific 93 AVLP 93 DNBF 93 AVP 01 02 Stuart Maconie

    A celebration of a much-cherished pop group and a long-overdue companion to their unique musical output.

    Rolling Stone called him ‘the last pop genius’, while Richard Osman claimed he is ‘the most unfairly overlooked lyricist of his generation’.

    Paddy McAloon is undoubtedly one of the great songwriters of the last half-century. As the leader of Prefab Sprout, he’s overseen ten heavily praised albums, including the classic Steve McQueen, along with a trail of hit singles, among them ‘When Love Breaks Down’ and ‘The King of Rock ’n’ Roll’. His songs have been sung by Kylie and Cher. Others were written for Madonna, Sinatra and Streisand.

    But despite the commercial success and abundant critical acclaim, McAloon remains an enigmatic figure within the bright, brash world of pop. The semi-reclusive Prefab Sprout have seldom followed paths trod by others. They rarely toured. They took their time to make records. They always danced to their own drum.

    A lifelong fan of the band, acclaimed writer Nige Tassell attempts to illuminate the mystery, to uncloak the enigma. Truly Gifted Kids is the deepest dive ever made into McAloon’s craft, exploring the motivations and methods of a man who, 13 years since the band’s last album, still obsessively marries melody to words on a daily basis, in the process building up an enormous stockpile of songs that no one will hear.

    Occasionally esoteric and freeform, and always original, Truly Gifted Kids pulls together stories, interviews, analysis, history and travelogue to fashion a fulsome portrait of the band, with its chief creative force at the very centre. During his investigations, Tassell both acts as an ad-hoc roadie for solo Sprout Martin McAloon and goes undercover in search of pop music’s most famous motorbike.

    At its beating, romantic heart, Truly Gifted Kids is a celebration of a much-cherished pop group, a long-overdue companion to their wonderful music.]]>         13 02 The Guardian, The Sunday Times, GQ, Esquire, FourFourTwo, The Blizzard and When Saturday Comes among others, and his previous books include non-league football classic The Bottom Corner, Three Weeks, Eight Seconds, Boot Sale, Butch Wilkins and the Sundance Kid and And It's a Beautiful Day. ]]> 08 02 Stuart Maconie 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/f3527de2-68e5-4fe2-ac65-b45000248c43 01 New Modern SIMN357 New Modern 01 01 New Modern SIMN357 Putman Publishing 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 9.213 in 01 234 mm 02 6.024 in 02 153 mm 27 15 9781917923507 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 02 52.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 52.99 0.00 20260719 02 62.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 62.99 0.00 20260719 Putman Publishing AU 01 20261110     9781917923538 03 02 1917923538 03 9781917923538 14 19781917923535 15 9781917923538 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Stay Alive: The Life and Death of Stuart Adamson</TitleText> <Subtitle>The Authorised Biography: A Sunday Times Bestseller</Subtitle> 01 257459798 1 A01 Scott Rowley Rowley, Scott Scott Rowley Scott Rowley is content director for Future PLC, working across their stable of music publications from Classic Rock to Metal Hammer to Guitar World.

    'Perceptive analysis (and) also a fundamentally human story... this superb book rues Adamson's absence while celebrating his music’s still audibly beating heart.'5/5 MOJO

    The official biography of former Big Country frontman chronicling his career highs and tragic death.

    This is the story of Stuart Adamson, co-founder of not one but two seminal Scottish post-punk groups, The Skids and Big Country. But this is a book that is about much more than music.

    Stay Alive is about alcoholism, abuse, family, fame, addiction, depression and working-class pride. And along the way there are stories of drug busts, debauchery, flag burning, fist-fights, prison escapes and riots, with a revolving cast of characters from The Clash to the Rolling Stones.

    ‘Pretty marvellous. A fabulous autobiography’ Irvine Welsh

    ‘Full of beautiful, mad stories’ Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 6

    The long awaited autobiography from the musical maverick, polymath and Beta Band front man.

    ‘Self-destructive pop saboteurs who did it all wrong in all the right ways. Utterly brilliant’ —NME

    Steve Mason is a Scottish singer songwriter and founding member of the Beta Band. Formed in 1996 the band were quickly embraced in the media as The Next Big Thing and hailed by famous fans from Radiohead to Noel Gallagher. They were an idiosyncratic, self-contained, Dadaist counterpoint to the bloated Britpop corpse as it metastasized in the late ‘90s.

    The band split in 2004, owing their record label £1.2m. Since 2004, front man and songwriter Steve Mason has forged a singular, highly lauded solo career, releasing 5 albums under his own name and in April this year the Beta Band reformed to announce their first shows and the UK and U.S in over twenty years.

    ‘I see this book as a picture of someone who was lost, with zero confidence and had no idea what he was supposed to do to with his life. But through music, he found something approaching belief in himself which carried him over the next 30 years into all manner of success, failure and adventure. All the while battling the demons on constant patrol in his mind until, after they nearly finished him off, he focused his full attention on purging them from of aspect of his life.

    'Rodge has been absolutely brilliant. He's a big fan but not too close. He was very much a fly on the wall' Brett Anderson

    'The candid biography of Suede we've all been waiting for' Steve Lamacq

    The official, intimate and candid biography charting the second act of Suede during their remarkable second act.

    This year will mark thirty-three years since Suede released their debut eponymous album and sixteen since their glorious and unexpected comeback in 2010.

    Their two most recent albums - Autofiction in 2022 and Antidepressants in 2025 - both reached number two in the UK charts.

    Based on exclusive and extensive interviews with the band, their family and friends, As One is an intimate and candid biography of one of the UK’s biggest band’s during the unlikely second act of a career that spans four decades. It is a book that studies the band from close up and afar, written by award-winning author Rodge Glass, who has been granted unprecedented access to the members at home, on stage, backstage, in the studio, rehearsing and promoting over the past three years.

    It is an honest, long-term interrogation of what it is really like to be in Suede. The book asks difficult questions about how great bands survive and thrive over time, many years after their first flush of success. How do you build back up from nothing? How do you reconnect with your audience, while avoiding simply rehashing old ideas? How do relationships in a band change with time? How do you remake Suede?]]>         13 02 No Fireworks, Hope for Newborns and Bring Me the Head of Ryan Giggs, the collection Stories for the EasyJet Generation, a graphic novel, Dougie’s War: A Soldier’s Story (with Dave Turbitt) and Alasdair Gray: A Secretary’s Biography, which won a Somerset Maugham Award for non-fiction.

A lynchpin of the UK punk scene, Marco’s first appearance on stage was with Siouxsie and the Banshees at the 100 Club in 1976. He went on to join bands the Models and then Rema-Rema before teaming up with a little-known punk outfit – Adam and the Ants – in 1979 and within a year the band was on the brink of worldwide acclaim.

    An integral part of the band, Marco acted as lead guitarist and co-songwriter with Adam. Marco’s work with Adam left an indelible commercial and creative stamp across the 1980s and pop music in general. Marco went on to work with other artists including Sinéad O'Connor and had become regarded as an authority on the punk movement.

    In the mid 1970's, Marco Pirroni was a shy Kings Road punk kid. He played guitar with a nascent Siouxsie and the Banshees at their debut 100 Club gig in 1976. Future Sex Pistol Sid Vicious could often be found round at Marco's parents with a bag of laundry and a cup of tea. But as the early promise of punk rock's cultural liberation quickly soured, Marco's dreams of proper pop stardom only grew.

    In a few short years, alongside an ambitious fellow punk survivor called Adam who was also looking to break out of the musical ghetto and onto Top of the Pops, Marco became the musical architect of the global Antmusic phenomenon. By the time he was 21, Marco was the co-writer of the two classic number one singles - ‘Prince Charming’ and the Ivor Novello-winning ‘Stand and Deliver’ - alongside the million selling, idiosyncratic new pop masterpiece 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' and its follow up album 'Prince Charming'.

    Your Money or Your Life is Marco’s long-overdue and much-anticipated account of his time amidst the maelstrom of Antmania. It chronicles the breakneck period in Pirroni’s life which ends in March 1982, when Adam and the Ants split up amongst heartbreak and acrimony. Revelatory, caustically hilarious and with a cast of the biggest names in entertainment including Liberace, Liza Minelli and David Bowie, Your Money or Your Life is one of the unforgettable music stories of the 1970s and 1980s.]]>         13 02

    Why do penguins make us smile, pandas melt our hearts, and polar bears symbolize the fight against climate change? Penguins, Polar Bears and Pandas explores the emotional connection between humans and the animals we find irresistible—and why that connection matters more than ever.
    Blending accessible science, storytelling, and extraordinary photography, this book introduces readers to iconic species such as penguins, polar bears, pandas, whales, seals, elephants, big cats, giraffes, monarch butterflies, and great apes, revealing the psychological and biological reasons we respond to them so strongly. From cuteness and familiarity to intelligence and shared behaviours, these animals become ambassadors for conservation, drawing our attention to fragile ecosystems and inspiring action far beyond their own survival.
    Each chapter pairs stunning, close-up wildlife photography with engaging explanations and real-world conservation stories. Readers discover how charismatic animals create a “halo effect,” helping protect entire habitats, and how hope—not fear—is one of the most powerful tools in environmental change.
    Written by conservation communicator Dr Wiebke Finkler and illustrated with award-winning photography by Scott Davis, this book is as thoughtful as it is beautiful.
    In an era dominated by climate anxiety, Penguins, Polar Bears and Pandas offers something rare: a visually luxurious, intellectually engaging, and genuinely hopeful reminder that connection leads to care, and care leads to change.

But something about him is going to make him stand out!
    Barry is very excited about starting at the finest school in the Jurassic world — the Brontosaurus Academy. Best of all, he’s going to buy a beautiful new tie so he can look like all the other students. But when Barry visits the shop of Mr Bruno, the most famous Brontosaurus tailor in the land, he discovers he has a very short neck … and all the ties are very long!
    This makes Barry so scared of standing out that he loses heart. But with the help of his friend Luna, he decides not to give up. What Barry eventually finds is that, with a bit of creativity and a lot of determination, being yourself is not only okay, it’s fabulous!
    A Tie for Barry is a delightful story about friendship, kindness, imagination, and the power of creative thinking to help you discover your unique self.

As Head of Remote, he led workplace strategy and operations at GitLab, the world’s first fully distributed company to IPO.

    A roadmap to what excellence looks like in the future world of work.

    This ground-breaking book challenges the modern company to build healthy and productive remote teams, to ensure they are attracting the best talent. To do this, they must look to a ‘distributed’ model – based on remote-first principles of communication, culture, productivity, and leadership.

    Distributed questions every element of the corporate status quo; challenges where and how culture is formed and grown; and takes a systems-level approach to running a people-driven company, which leans on a shared way of working and an intentionally selected digital tool stack to create cohesion in the absence of a physical office.

    This innovative book is for employees who want more agency and freedom in where/how they complete their work, and for employers who need to revise their mindsets to create an environment where modern work can thrive.]]>         13 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/62119b1a-56d0-4294-b6ee-b41a002e7c96 01 Major Street Publishing SIMN728 Major Street Publishing 01 01 Major Street Publishing SIMN728 Major Street Publishing 02 20261027 01 AU NZ 01 9.213 in 01 234.01 mm 02 6.024 in 02 153.01 mm 08 0.515 lb 08 8.24 oz 08 233.6 gr 27 15 9781923186460 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261005 20261027 30 02 34.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 34.99 0.00 20260719 02 39.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260719 Major Street Publishing AU 01 20261027     9781923232723 02 02 192323272X 03 9781923232723 14 19781923232720 15 9781923232723 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Italian Obsession (House of Ferrara)</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Italian Obsession (House of Ferrara)</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle>ANZ Exclusive</Subtitle> 01 270726686 1 A01 T L Swan Swan, T L T L Swan 01 eng 464 00 464 03 FIC027620 10 FIC027340 10 FIC027570 20 Contemporary Romance; Billionaire; grumpy sunshine; luxury lifestyle; Miles High Club; Italy; Italian mafia; mafia romance; Tiktok; dark romance; slow burn; opposites attract; secret identity; family saga; casino; double life; touch her you die; protective hero; secret relationship; ONS; royalty; mafia; fatal attraction; Amalfi Coast; Rome; dangerous; 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 #1 bestselling author T L Swan comes the first instalment of her fan favourite series House of Ferrara - in bookstores October 2026.

    Olivia Reynolds went to Italy to find herself... but instead Enrico Ferrara found her.

    Like a fairy tale, their eyes met across a crowded room.

    He asked her if she needed help reading the menu.

    They laughed, they danced, and then they fell.

    Hopelessly.

    But before their story could really begin, fate ripped them apart.

    Two years later, Olivia returns to Italy for her dream job in fashion. She’s determined to build a new life…until Enrico walks back into it. But the man she thought she knew is different now. He’s colder, harder, and yet somehow, even more enticing.

    The closer Olivia gets, the more she understands why she should run. Enrico Ferrara isn’t just a powerful billionaire—he’s now the ruler of Italy’s most feared empire. His passion for Olivia burns hotter than ever, but loving him means stepping into a dynasty of danger and desire, and enemies who won’t stop until their world is torn down.

    She’s his greatest weakness, he’s her eternal love…

    Will their obsession destroy them both?

His career included criminal investigations, covert operations, diplomatic postings, and long service at the rank of Commander.

    McEwen was a strong advocate for proactive disruption strategies, successfully influencing senior policing leaders and coordinating multi-agency efforts across Asia. Known as an innovative thinker, he consistently challenged conventional approaches to enhance operational effectiveness and adaptability.

    Following the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka in 2019, McEwen deployed to Colombo to lead the establishment of AFP assistance to the Sri Lanka Police, supporting the subsequent investigations. In 2018, he served as AFP mission commander during the Tham Luang Cave rescue in Thailand and was later awarded the Knights Grand Cross (First Class) of the Order of the Direkgunabhorn (KCD) by the Kingdom of Thailand.

    McEwen was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2003 for his response to the 2002 Bali bombings and received the AFP Commissioner’s Medal of Excellence in 2013.  McEwen is recognised for his leadership in high-pressure environments and his contribution to modern policing strategy.

    For thirty-five years, Glen McEwen built a career making decisions when the answers weren't clear. Rising from a young Australian Federal Police recruit to one of its senior operational commanders, he confronted organised crime, terrorism and international crises at the highest levels of policing.

    From the Bali bombings and international drug syndicates to people smuggling, corruption, cybercrime and the Tham Luang cave rescue in Thailand, McEwen worked alongside police, intelligence agencies and governments across Australia and the region. Drawing on more than three decades of operational experience, he takes readers inside the investigations, leadership decisions and international operations that rarely become part of the public record.

    Yet the greatest challenges were not always found in the operation itself. They emerged over time, as years of responsibility, leadership and difficult decisions accumulated beyond the headlines.

    Through McEwen's journey from young recruit to senior operational commander, readers witness the evolution of the Australian Federal Police and gain an insider's understanding of the decisions, pressures and responsibilities that define a life in modern policing.

    'Leadership is not always about standing apart. It is about knowing when to guide, 
    when to follow, and when to simply stand alongside others.'

A bullet-pierced diary. A 22-year quest to uncover the truth.

    When museum curator Colin Reid is handed a bullet-pierced diary for a Great War exhibition, it sets him on a 22-year search to uncover the fate of its owner, Corporal Claude Nuttall MM.

    Written in the trenches of France, the diary offers a rare and deeply personal glimpse into the life of an ordinary Australian soldier — his endurance, his faith, and the quiet courage required to survive the horrors of war. Yet this small, fragile book raises as many questions as it answers. Who was Nuttall? What became of him? And how did his diary survive when so many did not?

    Determined to find out, the curator follows a trail that stretches from the industrial heartlands of England to the battlefields of Europe and on to Australia. Piece by piece, he reconstructs a life long lost to history, uncovering a powerful story of love, resilience, and extraordinary bravery — and forging an unexpected connection between families separated by a century.

    The Digger’s Diary is more than a military history. It is a testament to the enduring power of memory, and to the humble objects that carry our stories through time, waiting for someone to listen

    Captured at Dunkirk in 1940, accomplished musician Drum Major Henry Barnes Jackson promised his wife he would return home to serenade her again. Instead, he was marched through a brutal system of Nazi prison camps where survival was never guaranteed.

    In 1942, Jackson was transferred to Auschwitz IV—part of the notorious concentration camp complex where Allied POWs were also imprisoned. There, he was ordered to become the camp’s Music Maker, leading performances for his captors.

    But what began as an act of control became an act of quiet defiance.

    Through music, Jackson lifted the spirits of fellow prisoners, created moments of hope in unimaginable conditions, and even helped conceal escape attempts. All the while, he risked everything to keep a secret diary—recording the truth of life inside the camps.

    When liberation finally came in 1945, Jackson emerged gravely ill but alive. Hidden among his belongings was the diary that would bear witness to five years of courage, suffering and survival.

    Written by his granddaughter, The Music Maker of Auschwitz is a powerful true story of resilience, love and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of darkness.

    ‘Byrne transforms her grandfather’s war diary into a powerful testament to the extraordinary strength of mind.’

    ‘What a story and what a moving book! … This is an outstanding book.’
    Windscreen Magazine, The Military Trust

    The Mekong Delta was one of the most dangerous and fiercely contested theatres of the Vietnam War. Into this volatile arena came a small group of Australian Navy aviators, embedded with the US Army’s 135th Assault Helicopter Company.

    Operating as an experimental unit known as the EMUs, these Australians flew combat missions at the sharp end of the war, commanding American helicopter crews into heavily defended landing zones, often under relentless fire.

    Drawing on firsthand accounts, Just Another Day in the Delta brings to life the intensity, danger and camaraderie of helicopter warfare, with stories of missions flown, aircraft hit, and crews lost. It reveals a little-known chapter of the war — the closest operational collaboration between Australian sailors and the US Army.

    At the same time, the book confronts the wider truths behind the conflict, questioning the political narratives that sent thousands to fight and die.

    Both a gripping combat narrative and a sobering reflection on war and its causes, this is a powerful and timely account of courage, alliance and the cost of decisions made far from the battlefield.

    ‘A timely reminder as the world is facing yet increasing political turmoil. The drums are beating and enemies are being created where none may exist.’

    ‘Inspiring and timely. I commend Just Another Day in the Delta for its honesty, its clarity, and its contribution to our national understanding of service, sacrifice, and alliance.’ – The Hon. Kim Beazley

    Inspired by NFL legend and cultural icon Marshawn Lynch, Beast Mode 510 is an action-packed graphic novel set in the heart of the 510. Blending explosive action, sharp satire, and West Coast swagger, this is Beast Mode like you’ve never seen him before.

    From Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch comes a bold new graphic novel rooted in Oakland, loyalty, and community.

    Beast Mode 510 transforms the larger-than-life “Beast Mode” mentality into a mythic, street-level hero. In this world, Beast Mode is Oakland’s legendary fixer — a freelance sleuth who handles the problems no one else will touch. No contracts. No invoices. Just results.

    What begins as a surprise birthday celebration for his mother spirals into a globe-spanning conspiracy involving missing young women, Silicon Valley corruption, Yakuza assassins, reptilian billionaires, and a million-dollar bounty on his head.

    Written by NAACP Image Award–nominated author Sheldon Allen and brought to life by Eisner Hall of Fame artist Denys Cowan, with inks by Dexter Vines and colors by Chris Sotomayor, Beast Mode 510 delivers cinematic action, biting humor, and unapologetic cultural energy.

    Oakland isn’t just the backdrop. It’s the heartbeat.

    Roots of Grace is a powerful, intergenerational memoir that weaves personal history with the untold story of Eritrea. Through vivid storytelling, Dawit Gebremichael Habte traces his journey from childhood in Asmara and Addi-Hayo, through war and diaspora, to leadership in America, showing how family, faith, and community form the foundation of the identity we carry forward.

    The book also explores Eritrea’s ancient history, colonial past, the post–World War II federation and annexation, the long struggle for independence, and the global forces that shaped one nation’s fate. Yet at its core, this is an intimate story: a mother’s sacrifice, a father’s wisdom, a community that raised its children together, and the enduring belief that education, integrity, and resilience create generational wealth beyond money.

    Blending memoir, history, leadership reflection, and cultural preservation, Roots of Grace speaks to immigrants, parents, leaders, and anyone searching for meaning in a fractured world. It asks: What do we inherit beyond piece of land? What do we protect?

    In Extraordinary Encounters: Collected in Motion, Found in People, the author takes readers on an inspiring journey across continents, cultures, and connections. Through deeply personal anecdotes and vivid storytelling, she reveals the transformative power of basic human interaction—how the simple, random encounters with strangers can yield profound insights and lasting bonds.

    With the rise of social media, Adaobi Oniwinde found a platform to document her travels and encounters, which have taken her to all seven continents. What began as a way of chronicling her travels and engaging her children—and pull them away from social media noise—evolved into a community of followers inspired by her stories. From Uber drivers sharing heartfelt confessions to strangers met during adventures in Antarctica, Lima, Zanzibar and beyond, her posts became a testament to the beauty and resilience of the human spirit. Even more rewarding was witnessing her children embrace this openness to strangers and develop a deeper appreciation for the world and people around them.

    Extraordinary Encounters is a celebration of connections made in unplanned moments. It’s a collection of stories that highlight the richness of everyday interactions and the lessons they offer. Whether it’s a fleeting exchange or a lasting connection, the author demonstrates how encounters—no matter how brief—can leave an indelible mark on our lives.

    Through these pages, readers will meet people from all walks of life, each with their own unique story to tell. From service providers who share their joys and sorrows to co-adventurers on epic journeys, these narratives showcase the universal threads that bind us all. At its core, Extraordinary Encounters is a testament to the art of storytelling and the boundless potential of human connection.

    This book invites readers to pause, listen, and appreciate the world around them.

    In Restoration, an American architect travels to rural England in 1984 to restore a centuries-old barn, only to discover that the project will require far more than architectural skill. As hidden family histories emerge through letters, memories, and the landscape itself, she must confront the truths her family buried long ago.

    What does it mean to rebuild something that time has nearly erased?

    In 1984, an American architect travels to rural England to oversee the restoration of a centuries-old barn. The assignment promises professional challenge and a welcome escape from the unresolved tensions of her life at home.

    But the work quickly becomes something more complicated.

    As she begins uncovering the building’s layered history—old foundations, forgotten rooms, and the stories embedded in its beams—letters from the past begin to surface, revealing a family history she never fully understood. The deeper she goes into the restoration, the more the project begins to mirror her own reckoning with grief, inheritance, and identity.

    Set against the quiet beauty of the English countryside, Restoration is a richly textured literary novel about the ways the past lives inside the structures we inherit—both the physical ones we restore and the emotional ones we carry with us.

    A sweeping historical and cultural examination of how women–and particularly, heroines–have been represented, interpreted, and reimagined throughout art history.

    From the patient Penelope to the invincible Wonder Woman; from the cruel Medea to the pious Geneviève; from the warrior Mulan to the lover Juliet; from activist Rosa Parks to the symbol of Lady Liberty: who are these women who inhabit the imagination of artists?

    Heroines in Art explores the women who populate artists’ imaginations and our shared visual memory. Tracing the evolution of female heroism from myth to modernity, thirty-seven works reveal how painters, sculptors, illustrators, and performers have negotiated the tension between celebrating female strength and containing its threat.

    Throughout, you’ll explore the works of Peter Paul Rubens, Utagawa Hiroshige, Nam June Paik, Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Cassatt, Faith Ringgold, and more—alongside icons such as Cleopatra, Baba Yaga, Joan of Arc, Shéhérazade, and Joséphine Baker. Inside, you’ll also find:
    • A curated selection of essential and unexpected works
    • Timelines, maps, and charts
    • Anecdotes, historical context, and varied sidebars
    ]]>         13 02 Cats in Art and Women in Art, among others.]]> 08 02 Cats in Art) spotlights artworks featuring famous female muses “from Cleopatra to Joséphine Baker.” Each work is paired with a timeline, relevant quotations, and literary references, along with an analysis of the piece and how portrayals of its subject have shifted throughout history. Peter Paul Rubens’s 1616 painting of the mythical Atalanta, for example, depicts her as a beauty receiving the decapitated head of a wild boar, straying from earlier portrayals of the heroine as an athlete or huntress. Elsewhere, Giorgio di Chirico’s 1973 oil painting Antigone Consolatrice imagines Antigone and her father as faceless mannequins, drawing on previous artists’ renderings of the pair while “planting doubt” in the viewer’s mind (“Which figure is Antigone, really?”). While the topic can feel overly broad, Paré surveys a unique mix of historical, fictional, and mythological subjects, and intersperses enjoyable bits of trivia throughout (Gustave Flaubert wanted no illustrations to appear in his novel Salammbô, but artists’ versions kept popping up after his 1880 death). It adds up to an illuminating and accessible portrait of women’s place in art and society. ]]> <I><B>Publishers Weekly</B></I> 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/e8b12142-987b-40bb-80be-b41e0024dc4f 01 Tra Publishing SIMO669 Tra Publishing 01 01 Tra Publishing SIMO669 Tra Publishing 02 20261027 01 AU NZ 01 9.4 in 01 238.76 mm 02 6.7 in 02 170.18 mm 08 0.736 lb 08 11.776 oz 08 333.84 gr Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20260914 20261027 20 02 42.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 42.99 0.00 20260719 02 49.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 49.99 0.00 20260719 Tra Publishing AU 01 20261027     9781962298513 02 02 1962298515 03 9781962298513 14 19781962298510 15 9781962298513 11 BB Hardback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Apocalyptic Horseplay</TitleText> 01 270495200 1 A01 Boredman Boredman Boredman 01 eng 204 00 204 03 CGN014000 10 CGN004030 10 FIC016000 20 Apocalyptic Horseplay; Eliott Ventadour; Boredman; WEBTOON graphic novel; supernatural comedy; horsemen of the apocalypse; fantasy humor comic; British small-town fantasy; teen graphic novel; collected webcomic, Rocketship Entertainment 01 05 01 02 A supernatural comedy graphic novel about the retired Horsemen of the Apocalypse whose quiet small-town life is upended by a student journalist and a child who may trigger the end of the world.

    Twenty years together. One chance to begin again.

    It begins with a message from an old flame. Max Owens, Cassandra’s high school boyfriend. The one heartbreak she never quite outgrew. For months, they exchange messages that bridge decades of silence, until Nashville beckons with the promise of reunion.

    En route, Cassandra stops in Sims Chapel, hoping to walk in the footsteps of Sara Hastings, whose words once altered the trajectory of her young life. She arrives armed with memories and questions, anticipating answers, perhaps even peace. What she doesn’t anticipate is Conrad, the man at the marina, his eyes holding stories that mirror the fracture lines of her own heart.

    In Conrad’s company, Cassandra glimpses a startling truth—that the comfort she seeks may not lie in looking backward, but in daring to imagine a future unlike anything she’s ever known. Then Max appears without warning, disrupting the delicate cadence she and Conrad have begun to create. Caught between the legend of her first love and the raw, uncharted territory of new possibilities, Cassandra must navigate which narratives are worth keeping and which are meant to be rewritten.]]>         13 02

    At least, that's what they tell us it is. It's basically a glorified prison and asylum for the deranged with good alibis.

Start finding solutions. Discover the systems thinking tools that actually work.

    In Signals & Levers, Elisabeth Hendrickson—former VP R&D at Pivotal and author of the enduring Explore It!—and Joel Tosi—who has spent 25+ years delivering software and a decade helping teams stop “change theater”—teach you to see through the illusions that plague every software organization. Using tools from statistical process control, systems thinking, and economic theory, they show you how to identify real problems and find the levers that create lasting change.

    Each chapter delivers practical techniques. Learn to spot critical illusions that derail delivery, build causal diagrams that reveal system dynamics, and uncover hidden connections that make obvious solutions backfire. See how to separate signal from noise, frame problems as testable hypotheses, visualize trade-offs as continuums, build cultures that learn instead of repeating mistakes, and ultimately choose the right path forward given your context. Plus, “Better in 30 Minutes” exercises let you practice immediately.

    Along the way, you’ll meet Theresa, an engineering director. She learned that her teams are late delivering the next release. Again. Frustrated, she digs into the data only to discover that she’s been suffering from illusions that readers will find all too familiar. You’ll follow Theresa's journey as she learns to read signals and find the right levers to fix systemic issues.

    Whether you're a developer tired of death marches, a CTO struggling with predictability, or a PM wondering why everything takes longer than planned, this book provides the systems thinking skills that transform software organizations.]]>         13 02

    Your company just spent $2 million on digital transformation. Six months later, IT still can't get production data, OT won't allow cloud connections, and the only thing transformed is everyone's patience.

    While every conference preaches convergence and every vendor promises seamless integration, Information Technology and Operational Technology remain locked in a cold war that costs industries billions. And somewhere between these two worlds, digital transformation dies a slow, expensive death.

    The IT/OT Handbook is a practical guide written by practitioners who've actually bridged this divide—through midnight plant crises, million-dollar-per-day downtimes, and systems built where metal meets code.

    In this book, you'll discover why IT/OT convergence really fails (hint: it's not the technology), seven patterns of collaboration that show where you are and how to evolve, and battle-tested frameworks drawn from Lean, Agile, DevOps, and Team Topologies—adapted for operational realities.

    Stop treating IT/OT integration like a technical problem. Start treating it like the organizational evolution it really is.]]>         13 02

    Being a mixed-race Japanese person isn’t easy, and that’s especially true for Kazumi Mandanda Yoneyama and her brother.

    When the pilot aired to instant success in 1976, Charlie’s Angels ushered in a TV revolution—for the first time, a network show featured three single female detectives whose stories revolved around fighting crime, not around supporting men. Jaclyn Smith, as Kelly Garrett (the only Angel to lead all five seasons of the show), was propelled into international fame and became an icon to girls and women everywhere. Now, for the first time, she shares the behind-the-scenes story of the origin and making of the iconic show, along with her longtime friendships with her co-stars including Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, and Cheryl Ladd.

    But, as Smith writes, she wasn’t born the first day she put on Kelly Garrett’s tiny white bikini. Before Charlie’s, she was a dancer on Broadway from Texas and a prolific commercial actress. After Charlie’s, she channeled her childhood love of design when she pioneered the concept of celebrity-branded clothing lines with a mega-successful K-Mart partnership. She now sells her clothing lines as a commercial branding partner on HSN. While balancing acting and entrepreneurship, and bravely facing breast cancer, she also found love and raised two beloved children.

Hitchcock, a riveting, revelatory portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the lead-up to World War II, tracing his—and America’s—awakening to the threat of fascism.

    How did FDR and the American public respond to the rise of dictators across Europe and Asia on the eve of World War II? The familiar narrative is that they reacted with indifference and embraced isolationism. Only with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor were Americans reluctantly drawn into the global conflict. But distinguished historian William I. Hitchcock reveals a far more complex and surprising story.

    From the time Mussolini came to power in 1922 to America’s entry into the war in 1941, Americans engaged in a fraught national debate over the rising threat—and for some, the lure—of fascism. At the center of this debate was Roosevelt himself. When he took office in 1933, Roosevelt was determined to avoid foreign entanglements that would harm his ambitious domestic agenda of the New Deal. But over the course of his first two terms, a network of journalists, activists, advisers, and diplomats gradually awakened him to the global dangers of fascism.

    Roosevelt’s transformation was part of a larger national reckoning with authoritarianism around the world. A Shadow Over the World shines a light on a time when a coalition of courageous humanists gathered around a visionary leader to forge a new purpose for America: to protect democracy, oppose imperialism, support human rights, and lead a global fight for freedom. Their successful struggle against the dark forces of fascism holds powerful lessons for our own perilous times.]]>         13 02 New York Times bestselling author and award-winning teacher who has published numerous books relating to World War II and the Cold War, including The Bitter Road to Freedom: A New History of the Liberation of Europe, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and a winner of the George Louis Beer Prize from the American Historical Association.

Ryback, author of 53 Days: How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy]]> 08 02 A Shadow Over the World is a superb book. Even those readers who know the story of the 1930s in a general way will be enthralled and surprised by Hitchcock's marvellously written, and deeply researched, narrative, which tells the story of how America gradually entered the fight against fascism. Rather than focusing simply on the isolationists, Hitchcock sheds light on how anti-fascists such as Dorothy Thompson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Robert Sherwood mobilized American sentiment to combat the Axis. Essential reading to understand the origins of World War II.

Roosevelt’s lonely struggle to awaken his isolationist countrymen to the menace of fascism as the world plunged toward the catastrophic cauldron of World War II. In William I. Hitchcock’s richly nuanced telling, leader and led alike moved only reluctantly and fitfully toward the conclusion that the American experiment in democracy was inexorably linked to the fate of democracy in the broader world. Indeed, in a powerful corrective to the usual emphasis on 1930s isolationism, Hitchcock gives the legions of journalists, broadcasters, writers, street-corner preachers, and classroom teachers at least as much credit as the President for nurturing the eventual resolution to shoulder arms. Virtually every page of this important book sheds fresh light on once-familiar ground."

    Witchcraft was just a game. Until the bodies started piling up.

    Cinnamon Christine Carmichael doesn’t remember the killings. Not at first. But the blood on her hands, the whispers in her head, and the smile on her best friend Hedda’s face say enough. Something has been unleashed—and it’s using them to grow.

    Two teenagers are burned alive in a corn maze as the crowd watches, paralyzed, filming every second. It’s the latest in a string of ritualistic murders that defy explanation. Sheriff Henry McGinty has seen a lot in his time—but nothing like this.

    So he calls in Sister Eve.

    Eve sees what others can’t: echoes of the dead, glimpses of the future. But this time, the visions are fragmented. Wrong. As if something is blocking her sight. Something old. Something evil. Something wearing the face of her mother, reincarnated in the body of a teenage girl.

    As Halloween nears, Cinnamon’s coven races to complete a ritual that could bring the Devil himself to earth—and Eve, Henry, and irreverent deputy Fink may be the last line of defense between our world and utter damnation.

    Welcome to North Shore Township.

    Where you can never dig a grave too deep, and you can never keep a secret for too long.

    The Foreman family has made their fortune burying the dead (and not just funeral services, allegedly). Mary Foreman fled North Shore Township years ago to escape her family’s legacy. But when her estranged mother reappears during a local election, reigniting rumors of corporate corruption and criminal activity, Mary’s uncle summons her to help with his campaign.

    Mary leaves Toronto and takes up residence in Foreman House—the now-vacant gothic mansion once home to the Foremans and their infamous funeral business. She also secures a teaching job at her alma mater, St. Joseph’s School for Girls, set to unearth the time capsule her great-grandmother helped mastermind. But when the time capsule is opened, the family’s legacy rears its ugly head once again.

    Embroiled in a criminal investigation—one with eerie parallels to several cold cases—Mary begins to unravel a truth rooted in her cursed matrilineal line, the haunted funeral home she grew up in, and the crime her mother stood trial for decades earlier. Crushed by the weight of the township’s suspicion, Mary must fight to prove her own innocence. Not only of recent crimes, but past ones, too. For this is the North Shore of Lake Huron, and the past is always present where the dead don’t die.]]>         13 02 08 02 Tamara L.

    In 1985, the world finally took notice of Madonna, and she met Ken Regan, one of the most versatile professional photographers of the 20th century. This trove of his beautiful, timeless images, most never before published, follows her through an array of unforgettable moments—studio poses, bedroom positions, fitness routines, onstage performances—highlighting her raw, magnetic sexuality. The accompanying text by Rolling Stone writer Tomás Mier brilliantly traces the development of her signature style. He shares exclusive new interviews with producer Nile Rodgers, choreographer Brad Jefferies, stylist Maripol, and others. He offers fresh insights into Madonna’s whirlwind romance with Sean Penn, why the Mondrian session became the most successful shoot of Regan’s career, and even how the infamous Penthouse and Playboy photos affected her performance at Live Aid, where, behind the scenes, Regan shot her at the center of one of the most remarkable group photos of all time. This definitive collection of their work together captures in detail exactly how the Queen of Pop grabbed the world’s attention and never let go.]]>         13 02

This stunning art book will give fans a way to treasure their memories forever.

    In 1986, Transformers: The Movie changed the course of the TRANSFORMERS franchise forever. Released just two years after the popular Saturday morning cartoon made its debut, the animated feature film took the saga in a startling new direction that thrilled and shocked young fans in equal measure. Featuring an intense storyline in which several key characters met their demise—including heroic Autobot leader Optimus Prime—the film blended an electrifying story with sumptuous visuals to create an adventure that would become a pop culture phenomenon and the blueprint for future TRANSFORMERS storytelling.

    Forty years after its release, Transformers: The Movie – The Ultimate VisualHistory will take an in-depth look at the creation of the film and the impact of its ongoing legacy. Told through interviews with key creatives, including story consultant Flint Dille, the book will explore the journey that brought TRANSFORMERS to the big screen, and the decisions that took the feature film in a bold new direction. From casting legends of the screen, including Orson Welles and Leonard Nimoy, to commissioning the film’s riotous heavy metal soundtrack, each aspect of the production will be explored with unique insights from a range of experts.

    Central to the film’s legend is its eye-popping visuals, with beautifully rendered vistas, imaginatively conceived characters, and scenes of glorious no-holds-barred destruction. Illustrated with concept art, storyboards, and other visuals, this deluxe book will showcase the incredible design work that went into the film, bringing together a dazzling wealth of never-before-published imagery.

    Also featuring sections on the film’s music, its influence on subsequent TRANSFORMERS stories, from comics to feature films, and the ongoing toy lines it has inspired, Transformers: The Movie – The Ultimate VisualHistory is a must-have purchase for the film’s legions of fans.

    STAR-STUDDED CAST. Before the days when Oscar winners voicing animated roles was commonplace, the voice talent assembled for this film was truly groundbreaking. Orson Welles completed his dialogue shortly before his death. Other cast members include Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, and Robert Stack.

Stine—now with a brand-new look!

    Mike loves hanging out in his father’s weird little museum on Fear Street. It’s full of cool stuff like a guillotine, a mummy, and a bunch of spooky wax figures. Mike’s favorite part of the exhibit is a full suit of armor.

    Or at least it was until he saw a pair of glowing eyes inside the helmet. Until the knight lifts its arm and pointed its sword at Mike’s chest.

    The knight is challenging Mike to a battle. Will it be a battle to the death?]]>         13 02 23 02 More blood!” I ordered. I slowly stepped back from the guillotine.

    I gazed down at the body kneeling at the bottom of the guillotine. His hands were tied behind his back. I spotted the head on the floor, a few feet away.

    The blank eyes stared up at me. The mouth gaped open, frozen in a scream of terror.

    I walked over and nudged it with the toe of my sneaker.

    “This is nowhere near scary enough,” I said.

    “Right you are, Mike.” Mr. Spellman squirted more fake blood on the wax dummy. A long stream of the sticky red stuff dribbled over the gleaming steel blade of the guillotine.

    It looked great—just right for the Museum of History’s Mysteries.

    “Yu-u-uck!” My sister, Carly, let out one of her earsplitting squeals. She’d been so quiet, I had almost forgotten she existed.

    No such luck.

    She started to jump down from her seat on the old mummy case. Salem, our big black cat, leaped off her lap with an angry meow. Then Carly’s feet hit the floor.

    “You guys are gross!” She gave us the famous “Carly look” and rolled her eyes.

    Carly has the same blue eyes as me. Her hair is shoulder length and mine is buzzed short for the summer. But it’s the same hair. Red. We even have the same freckles all over our noses and cheeks.

    My dad has red hair too. In the pictures I’ve seen, my mother had brown hair and was kind of small, like me. I don’t remember our mom at all. She died when we were really little. For as long as I can remember there’s just been Dad, Carly, and me.

    I’m twelve and Carly is eleven. We’re practically the same height, too. A lot of people think we’re twins.

    It’s enough to make a guy hurl.

    My dad says not to worry. Girls grow faster than boys. He promised that someday I’ll tower over her.

    I dream of that day.

    “How can you get so excited over something so gross?” Carly shivered. “All that phony blood. It’s… it’s—”

    “Terrific!” Dad ran into the room. I could tell that he had been dusting the mummies again. Big gunky cobwebs trailed from his clothes. Clouds of dust puffed out of his red hair.

    Dad dashed over to the guillotine. He checked it from every angle. His grin grew wider and wider. “Excellent work!”

    Mr. Spellman smiled proudly. He took his job as museum caretaker very seriously. Dad gave me and Mr. Spellman a thumbs-up. “But maybe just a little more blood…,” he added.

    Dad took the plastic bottle and squirted a red puddle all around the head. When he was done, he nodded. “Perfect! It’s really horrible now.”

    “Way to go, Dad,” I said.

    Carly made a soft gagging sound.

    He looked right at her. “Don’t forget, scary is exactly why people come to Fear Street.” Dad’s hands were covered with fake blood. He scratched his ear, and a red glob smeared across his face.

    Cool! The blood looked even creepier on a live person than it did on a wax dummy. And it will look totally awesome smeared all over me on Halloween.

    “That’s why the Museum of History’s Mysteries is such a stroke of genius.” Dad glanced around the old place and smiled.

    “I can’t fail. Not this time,” Dad vowed. “This is the perfect business for Fear Street. It’s why we decided to move here to Shadyside in the first place.”

    I thought back and remembered—remembered the very night Dad had his great brainstorm to move here and open the museum.

    So many weird things happen in Shadyside that the town was on the news almost every night. Dad figured people would want to come here to find out for themselves if the stories were true. Which made it the perfect place for a scary museum.

    “Where else could you find ghosts playing hide-and-seek in the cemetery?” Dad asked, thinking back to a recent ghost sighting.

    “And don’t forget that haunted tree house in the woods,” Mr. Spellman added.

    Dad sighed. “How could I ever forget that?”

    I know Mr. Spellman tries to be helpful. But reminding Dad about my friend Dylan and his haunted tree house only made Dad sad. He had missed out on meeting any of the ghosts and was still sort of bummed out about it.

    “All we need is something special that people will be… well, dying to see.” He chuckled at his own joke. “Then people will come. And the Museum of History’s Mysteries will be a big success.”

    “You mean like the alien tracking station you set up in Grandpa Conway’s backyard, Dad?” Carly whined. She didn’t give Dad time to answer. She went right on whining.

    “Or that freaky petting farm that you bought? Let’s see—there was the two-headed llama and that stupid unicorn. Couldn’t you tell it was a goat with a cardboard horn tied to its head?”

    Dad cringed. “I almost forgot about that one,” he admitted. “Hey, I thought it was real. Everybody did. It looked real, didn’t it, Mike?”

    “It looked real to me,” I agreed.

    Carly made a really mean face at me. I call it her “rodent face.” It was one of the things she did best.

    But I made a better face back at her.

    “I think it’s going to be great,” I said. “All my friends say this place is totally awesome.”

    “Totally awesome—” Carly imitated me in a squeaky little voice. “Bunch of nerds,” she mumbled to herself.

    I glared at her. But before I could answer, she turned to my dad again.

    “Come on, Dad. What normal kid wants to live in a place that has mummies in the living room and coffins in the dining room and catapults and swords in the kitchen?” she complained.

    “How would you know what normal kids like, Carly?” I asked.

    Besides, she wasn’t even right. Well, not exactly. All those things were in what used to be the living room and the dining room and the kitchen. That was before Dad turned the downstairs of the big old house into the museum.

    We lived upstairs. Our living room, dining room, and kitchen were pretty ordinary compared to down here.

    “All right, you two.” Dad stepped between us. “No time to fight. Halloween is only two short weeks away. And Shadyside will be crawling with tourists. We’ve got to be ready for them. We haven’t had many customers yet. But Halloween’s the perfect time to improve our business.” Behind his black-framed glasses Dad’s eyes grew serious. I knew what the look meant. He was worried. “They’d better come,” he added very quietly. “Or I will have to close.”

    I knew the thought of closing the museum made Dad sad. It made Mr. Spellman and me sad too. The Museum of History’s Mysteries was a one-and-only kind of place. A place where people could see all sorts of great, spooky stuff. Wax dummies lurked in the basement in the Hall of Wax. Terrifying instruments of torture hung on the back porch. A totally awesome bunch of medieval weapons decorated the front hall. There was no place like it in the whole world.

    “Don’t worry, Dad,” I said. “People will line up and down the street when that special exhibit gets here from England.”

    Dad cheered up in a flash. “That’s right! Uncle Basil sent it weeks ago. It should be here any day. I can’t wait. Imagine how lucky we are! Owning our very own suit of armor!”

    I couldn’t wait either. I’m crazy about knights in armor. That was one of the main reasons Mr. Spellman and I were such good friends. He could hardly stop talking about them.

    Mr. Spellman had worked as the caretaker of the museum since it opened. We have been real close ever since. I couldn’t guess his age, but he looked way older than Dad. He was tall and thin. He wore his white hair long, and he had a bushy white mustache. His bright blue eyes lit up whenever he talked about his favorite subjects. Like guillotines or how mummies were made.

    He knew everything about really important stuff like that.

    Most important, he knew all about knights and swords and castles and dragons.

    We talked about knights for hours. He taught me the names of all the weapons—and all about the rules of chivalry. The rules of chivalry told a knight how to behave. How to fight fair. How to be a brave knight.

    Mr. Spellman walked over to me and smiled. “And don’t forget,” he reminded us, “in his letter, Basil said he was sending along something extra special just for Mike.”

    Carly didn’t need to be reminded. Uncle Basil wasn’t sending a present for her.

    Her face got all puckery. Like the time we had a contest to see who could eat a whole lemon.

    Carly won.

    “Aren’t you guys forgetting what else Uncle Basil said? That suit of armor is supposed to be haunted!”

    “I sure hope so. That’s the best thing about it, Carly.” Dad wiped the fake blood from his hands with an old rag. “If it is haunted, we’re sitting on a gold mine!”

    A shiver skipped up my back. The kind of trembly feeling I always felt waiting for something great. My birthday. Or the last day of school.

    Or when I felt scared.

    But I wasn’t scared. I just felt excited. Yeah, that was it. That’s why I had a weird, jumpy feeling in my stomach. Sort of like I’d accidentally swallowed a live bug.

    “Mr. Conway?” someone called from the front porch. The guy sounded nervous. A lot of delivery and repair people did when they came to the Museum of History’s Mysteries. “It’s Stanley’s Moving and Storage. Got a delivery here for you!”

    We all raced out to the front porch. I spotted a giant moving van parked in front of our house. Two deliverymen were pulling a huge crate out of the back. I skidded to a stop in the middle of the porch. Carly slammed into my back. She peered over my shoulder to see what was going on.

    The wooden crate had a long, rectangular shape. The rough, dark wood looked very old and knotty. A few of the planks were warped and cracked.

    I saw odd-looking stamps all over it. The printing on them looked weird, with strange, twisted letters that I could hardly read. But one big stamp that I could read said FRAGILE in bold red letters.

    The deliverymen tipped the crate on its side to stand it up. It towered over them.

    Dad and Mr. Spellman walked all around it. I scrambled over to them. Carly followed me.

    The two delivery guys grunted as they hoisted the crate up on their shoulders. From down where I stood, it looked bigger than ever.

    “It’s the armor, isn’t it?” I asked. I peered through the cracks between the planks of wood, but I couldn’t see a thing. I hopped up and down. I couldn’t help it. Dad didn’t have to answer. I knew his answer from the smile on his face.

    “Now be careful. Not too fast. Easy does it, fellas,” Dad directed them. “Carry it over to the front porch. We’ll drag it inside from there. Carly, out of the way. Mike, you’d better be careful. Not so close. You’ll—”

    Dad’s last words vanished in a kind of choking sound as something sliced through the crate. It gleamed in the sunlight.

    It was a giant ax. A knight’s battle-ax.

    And it came right at me.

    The huge blade zipped through the air. As if an invisible hand had taken aim. The blade fell down.

    I screamed and jumped out of the way.

    But not far enough.]]>         44 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/9c2761aa-4f87-4e4c-9f5a-b32c003e6889 01 Aladdin SIMO009 Aladdin 01 01 Aladdin SIMO009 Aladdin 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 03 0.6 in 03 15.24 mm 08 0.53 lb 08 8.48 oz 08 240.4 gr 06 15 9798347100682 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 60 02 39.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260719 02 46.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 46.99 0.00 20260719 Aladdin AU 01 20261110     9798347100712 03 03 9798347100712 13 2025945823 14 19798347100719 15 9798347100712 11 BB Hardback Ghosts of Fear Street 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>The Ooze</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The</TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix>Ooze</TitleWithoutPrefix> 01 76950 1 A01 R.L.

    Al isn’t impressed with his new chemistry set. The stink bomb he made doesn’t explode. And it doesn’t smell. It just sits there.

    Then it starts to ooze. It oozes all over the cat. It oozes all over Al’s best friend. And everything the ooze touches seems different somehow, dumber—as if the ooze were making their brains turn to ooze.

    Al doesn’t know what to do when the ooze starts coming for him. Can he find a way to stop it before it's too late?]]>         13 02 23 02 Most kids don’t have to beg their dogs to chase a ball. But Tubby isn’t like most dogs.

    “Get the ball, Tubby!” I pleaded as I wound up for the throw. “You can do it!”

    Tubby wagged his tail. Then he noticed it moving and tried to bite it.

    “Come on, Tubby!” I shouted. I hurled the yellow tennis ball. It flew right by his face.

    Tubby plopped down on the grass. He didn’t even blink as the ball whizzed by.

    The sliding back door slammed. I turned and saw my older sister, Michelle, walking toward me. As usual, she had a textbook tucked under her arm.

    “When are you going to face reality, Al?” she asked as she sat down under the apple tree. “Your dog is a total moron!”

    “No, he isn’t,” I protested. “He just doesn’t feel like playing now. Right, Tubby?” I dropped down next to him and patted his big head. His shaggy brown and white fur felt warm from the sun.

    Michelle snorted and opened her calculus textbook.

    “You’re studying?” I asked. “On a Saturday? And you call Tubby stupid?”

    “I want to graduate with the highest grades in my whole ninth-grade class,” Michelle said.

    Michelle is fourteen, just three years older than I am. But she’s already doing college-level math.

    If you haven’t figured it out already, being smart means everything to her. And to my parents, too. The three of them are geniuses. I mean it. They are really geniuses.

    It’s a pain. Teachers are always asking me if I’m Michelle Sterner’s little brother. When I say yes, they expect me to study twenty-four hours a day. The way she does.

    I’m smart. Probably as smart as Michelle. But I don’t want to spend my whole life with my nose in a book. I like to have fun.

    All Michelle likes to do is study, study, study. If you ask me, she’s too smart for her own good.

    Tubby rose slowly to his feet with a big sigh. He wandered over to the hedge that runs along the side of the yard and began to dig.

    Then he trotted over to Michelle and started a new hole there.

    A few minutes later he had another hole going by the back fence.

    Michelle shook her head. “Your dog is so stupid he can’t even remember where he buried his bone. You should get a cat,” she told me. “Cats are very intelligent.”

    “Like Chester?” I asked. Chester is Michelle’s cat. Michelle thinks he is brilliant.

    “Did I tell you he can count up to eight now?” Michelle asked.

    “Can he multiply and divide too?” I joked.

    Michelle stuck her tongue out at me. “He can snap up the window shade when he wants some light. And he knows how to jump on the electric can opener when he’s hungry. And—”

    “Who cares if he’s smart?” I interrupted. “That’s not what pets are for.”

    But Michelle paid no attention to me. “I saw a cat on TV who learned how to flush the toilet,” she continued. “I’m teaching Chester how to do it too.”

    “Boy, are you lazy, Michelle. Why can’t you flush the toilet yourself?”

    “He won’t be flushing it for me, you jerk. I’m going to teach him how to use the bathroom—the way we do. And then we won’t need kitty litter anymore!”

    “Michelle, you’re losing it. You’re totally losing it.”

    “You’re just jealous because you can’t even teach Tubby to fetch. Face it, Al. Chester is a billion times smarter than your dog. He’s probably even smarter than you.”

    “You’re a riot, Michelle. A real riot.”

    “If you ask Chester nicely,” Michelle went on, “I’m sure he’ll teach you how to flush the toilet too!”

    “Let’s go inside, Tubby,” I called out to my dog. “We don’t need to listen to this!”

    I crossed the lawn and grabbed Tubby’s collar. I had to tug on it three times—hard—before he figured out I wanted him to come with me. Then we went inside.

    Mom stood at the kitchen counter, icing a cake. “Don’t look, Al!” she said, waving a spatula with chocolate all over it.

    Little flecks of chocolate dotted Mom’s face. They looked like extra-big freckles. Mom and I both have a ton of freckles and the same red hair and brown eyes.

    “But, Mom!” I exclaimed. “Today’s my birthday. I already know that’s my birthday cake.” You don’t have to be a genius to figure this one out, I thought.

    “I still want it to be a surprise,” she said firmly. “Go wait in your room. And don’t come out until you hear us singing. You can work on memorizing all the capitals of South American countries for school.”

    I sighed. “I know every single one of them by heart, Mom.”

    “How about studying for Wednesday’s Science Bowl?” Mom suggested.

    I shrugged and headed down the hall to my room, dragging Tubby behind me. Around my house, if you aren’t studying for one thing, you’re studying for another.

    Mom and Dad are research scientists. Which is how I came to be named Al, after Albert Einstein himself.

    I guess I can’t blame them for hoping I’d turn out to be some kind of scientific genius. But I wish they could understand that playing baseball and hanging out with my friends isn’t a waste of my “wonderful brain,” as my mom says.

    Tubby yawned and collapsed onto the floor the moment we hit my room. I reached for my copy of Super Blades magazine and dropped down onto my bed.

    I wondered what Mom and Dad had planned for my birthday this year. They always take Michelle and me to something cultural on our birthdays. Sometimes it’s a concert, or if I’m really out of luck, we go to an opera.

    They always give us presents that are educational too. Boring. Totally boring.

    I wanted this year to be different. So I hinted for a pair of in-line skates. And I was pretty obvious about it. I left the ads for my favorites all over the place.

    Plus, I never missed a chance to mention them—making them sound real educational. I told my mom that in-line skates were excellent for eye-motor coordination.

    I told Michelle that they improved your split-second decision-making process.

    I told my dad about the big skate sale at Dalby’s.

    I hoped they figured it out. For three brilliant people, they can be pretty dense sometimes.

    As I flipped through Super Blades, I heard footsteps stomping down the basement stairs. That meant they were almost ready to start singing. We always use the basement for celebrations.

    I dropped my skating magazine onto the floor and jumped off the bed. “Ready?” I yelled down the hall.

    “Almost, Al!” my father called.

    I was really excited. I could almost feel those in-line skates on my feet!

    “Say when!” I shouted.

    I couldn’t stand the suspense one more second.

    “Now?” I yelled.

    “Now!”

    I broke into a run.

    I jerked open the basement door and saw Mom and Dad at the bottom of the stairs. Michelle stood in front of them, holding the cake. All the candles were lit.

    They started to sing “Happy Birthday.”

    I walked down the steps slowly, gazing around the basement, trying to spot my present.

    My eyes darted to Mom’s computer station.

    Nothing there.

    I glanced at the big table in the middle of the room. It had one of Michelle’s experiments on top. That’s all.

    Then I glimpsed the solar motorboat my dad was working on. Thousands of high-tech tools surrounded it. No present.

    Nothing.

    I don’t believe this, I thought. I’m not getting skates—I’m not getting a birthday present at all.

    I had three more steps to go. I shot one last look around, but I didn’t see anything with wrapping paper on it.

    I finally reached the bottom of the stairs, right where Michelle and my parents stood—and got the biggest surprise of my life.]]>         44 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/1ab6bd50-b803-43bc-bbc5-b32c003e7110 01 Aladdin SIMO009 Aladdin 01 01 Aladdin SIMO009 Aladdin 04 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 03 0.8 in 03 20.32 mm 08 0.53 lb 08 8.48 oz 08 240.4 gr 06 15 9798347100705 Harper Collins Publishers IP 20 20261110 60 02 39.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 39.99 0.00 20260719 02 46.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 46.99 0.00 20260719 Aladdin AU 01 20261110     9798347101603 02 03 9798347101603 14 19798347101600 15 9798347101603 11 23 BC B102 Trade Paperback Doll Island <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Perdidos en la isla de las Muñecas (Lost on Doll Island)</TitleText> 01 239365925 1 A01 Cassandra Ramos-Gomez Ramos-Gomez, Cassandra Cassandra Ramos-Gomez 2 B06 Eida Del Risco Del Risco, Eida Eida Del Risco Cassandra Ramos-Gomez 01 spa 208 00 208 03 JUV011030 10 JUV001000 10 JUV018000 20 spanish edition; supersticion; ciudad de mexico; la isla de las munecas; divorcio; atrapado; frustracion; machismo; masculinidad texica; acoso escolar; ansiedad; miedo; vulnerabilidad; amistad; juguete de la infancia; munecas que cobran vida; embrujado; compartir suenos; magia; deseos; leyenda local; salud mental; folclore; horror; espeluznante; historias de fantasmas; mexican; chicano chicana chicanx; latino latina latinx; xochimilco; middle grade book novel for 8 9 10 11 12 year olds grades 3 4 5 6 7; short; fast-paced; reluctant readers; goosebumps; rick riordan presents; chucky; The Storm Runner j.c. cervantes; Night of the Living Dummy; r.l. stine; Doll Bones; The Clackity Lora Senf; The Forgotten Girl India Hill Brown; Hide and Seeker Daka Hermon; Whispering Pines Lang Bartkowski; The Collector K.

    A girl who doesn’t know she’s in witness protection accidentally reveals her identity and puts her life in danger in this twisty upper middle grade thriller.

    For as long as Lydia can remember, it’s been her and her dad against the world. But while she loves him, her dad is so overprotective. Well-versed in the dangers of the internet from his job in cybersecurity, he refuses to let Lydia be online without heavy parental controls, and social media is out of the question.

    One day, when all Lydia’s friends are invited to a movie night at her crush’s house—except her because she’s not in the group chat—Lydia gets fed up with her dad’s rules and makes a social media account. Then an armed intruder shows up at her home. Clearly, there’s more to her family’s past than she knows.

    On the run and separated from her dad, Lydia will need to uncover the secrets her dad has been keeping if she wants to reunite with him. But how can Lydia know who to trust along the way when she doesn’t even know who she is?]]>         13 02 Lydia Cooper Is a Lie, Cheat Code, Movers, and The Bear House.

    In Hide and Shriek, new kid in town Randy discovers that there’s much more at stake than usual in the town’s annual after-dark game of hide-and-seek. Turns out, the seeker is the ghost of a long-ago kid from the town, and if he tags you “it,” you’ll turn into a ghost as well! Even worse, the ghost has a particular fondness for new kids…

    In Who’s Been Sleeping in My Grave, Zack Pepper thinks there is something very wrong with his substitute teacher. Not only does she seem far too interested in him, she’s also super creepy. But no one else seems to think so. Zack is going to have to get rid of her all by himself—but how can he destroy someone who is already dead?

    When Scott and Glen decide to use water from Fear Street Lake to grow their Aqua Ape, they had no idea that the tiny little creature would keep growing…and growing…and growing. And its teeth keep getting sharper…and sharper…and sharper. Will Scott and Glen be able to contain their destructive new pet before it’s too late?

    Take a peek in Sal’s Five and Ten. He sells great stuff. Wes Parker buys a 3-D poster there. He spends hours trying to see the hidden picture. Then he wishes he hadn’t. Because the thing inside the poster saw Wes too. Now it wants out—and it wants Wes.

    This spooky paperback boxed set includes:
    Hide and Shriek
    Who’s Been Sleeping in My Grave?
    The Attack of the Aqua Apes

    Milton is a curious little pug who loves adventure—especially when it involves snacks, stinky smells, and playing with his dog friends. He’s heard that some dogs go off to live with forever families… but that kind of adventure feels a little too big for Milton.

    So when Milton finds out he’s moving to a new home of his own, he packs his tiny suitcase (stuffed toy included) and does his best to be brave. He's surprised to find that his new human friend, Jonathan, seems nervous too! But as Milton settles into his new home, he and Jonathan will learn that being brave means giving new things, and new friends, a chance.]]>         13 02

    In this first book, a looming volcano eruption leads to a flaming-hot competition in the skull-shaped Chrome Dome. Includes awesome illustrations throughout!

    When the ultra-futuristic planet Futerra and the Stone Age–style Retrovia smashed together, they formed one world with two very different populations who must find a way to live in peace. Their solution? The Chrome Dome, where danger is the name of the game and kids compete in wild and wacky challenges to settle domestic and interplanetary disputes.

    It’s a battle to the fiery, lava-filled death when a giant volcano on Retrovia is about to explode and destroy the entire planet. The winner will have to get past the hot-snot-dripping, pointy-toothed Boarger, scale the Slippery Sock Slide of Ultimate Shame, traverse the Exploding Toilets of Doom obstacle course, and pass the Excuse Me, Your Zip Line Is on Fire challenge.

    In each interactive book in the Craniacs series, it’s up to the reader to make the correct choices and outlive the competition. Good luck! You’ll need it.

    In this second book, a school field trip ends in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with a dangerous beast. Includes awesome illustrations throughout!

    When the ultra-futuristic planet Futerra and the Stone Age–style Retrovia smashed together, they formed one world with two very different populations who must find a way to live in peace. Their solution? The Chrome Dome, where danger is the name of the game and kids compete in wild and wacky challenges to settle domestic and interplanetary disputes.

    The kids of Futerra and Retrovia are taking a break from Chrome Dome challenges to pile on the skull buses for a school trip to the skull dogs eating contest on Boney Island. By the end of the competition, every single skull dog on the island has been eaten. Unfortunately, the local beast Rhinobino loves snacking on skull dogs, and with none left, he’s ready for his second favorite food: Craniacs! Making it to safety means getting past other dangerous cranimals: saber-toothed hamsters, lava lizards, a Bonosaurus Rex, and more!

    A princess with hidden abilities must train to become a Valkyrie, an elite guardian, without being tempted away from duty by an alluring fallen warrior with no loyalty to the realm in the first book in a Viking fae romantasy trilogy.

    She wants to earn her Valkyrie wings. He wants to burn every Valkyrie to ash.

    Princess Madivia is the fae Ice Court’s best kept secret; only her family knows what she can really do—and how dangerous it is for her to leave her tower. Then destiny comes for her. Maddy has been selected by the gods themselves to train at Featherblade to become a Valkyrie, an elite guardian of Odin against the lethal Frost Giants.

    Trainees, or rooks, have a series of trials to pass to earn their wings. Maddy must get stronger, bond with an ancient animal gifted to her by the gods, and survive the Wild Hunt—all without revealing her hidden powers. Above all, she must determine who she can trust. At the bottom of that list is Kain the Ruinous, disgraced fire fae, villain of Featherblade…and Maddy’s obsession.

    She knows she should avoid him. He’s lethal, unhinged, and feeds on fear. But when he’s standing before her, fire in his eyes and heat blazing from his cursed skin, Maddy fears she would let the world go up in flames if he told her to. And if she’s not strong enough, that may be exactly what happens.]]>         13 02 44 02 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/6d1ebb3b-6ddf-446e-90eb-b3b00053b123 01 Scarlett Press SIMN619 Scarlett Press 01 01 Scarlett Press SIMN619 Scarlett Press 02 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 8.25 in 01 209.55 mm 02 5.5 in 02 139.7 mm 03 0.745 in 03 18.923 mm 06 15 9798347116577 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20261005 20261110 48 02 32.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 32.99 0.00 20260719 02 37.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 37.99 0.00 20260719 Scarlett Press AU 01 20261110     9798347117079 03 03 9798347117079 14 19798347117076 15 9798347117079 11 BH B212 Board book <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Halloween, Baby!</TitleText> <Subtitle>Lap Edition</Subtitle> 01 248412897 1 A01 Karen Katz Katz, Karen Karen Katz Where Is Baby’s Belly Button?. After graduating from the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, she attended the Yale Graduate School of Art and Architecture where she became interested in folk art, Indian miniatures, Shaker art, and Mexican art.

With Dusty’s brains, ReRe’s muscle, and Scraps’s gadgets (please don’t tell him he’s almost definitely an opossum), the Binses are determined to leave no garbage bin unturned in their pursuit of the tastiest, most delicious trash they can find.

But a critter-despising CEO, Jeff Beans, and the high-tech defense system he’s installed means liberating that trash is going to take all the skills the Racc Pack has…and maybe some help from a cat burglar with a mysterious past.]]>         13 02 ParaNorthern, Oh My Gods!, and The Racc Pack, with bestselling creator, Whitney Gardner.

    About the Publisher
    Many great things begin with a tiny spark, and for Manuel H. Barron that spark came from a mimeograph machine in the basement of his Brooklyn, NY, bookstore in the late 1930s. People from the community asked Mr. Barron for books to help their children study for the New York State Regents exams. After realizing there wasn't anything available, Mr. Barron created his own study guides.

    Now, more than 80 years later, Barron’s continues to help millions of learners worldwide prepare for their next steps.

    • Anchor their business or family legacy in timeless, universal principles

    Technology service providers know how to keep systems running. But technical excellence alone no longer guarantees client loyalty or sustainable growth. When every provider offers similar tools and response times, clients default to price comparisons. The result is a race-to-the-bottom pricing dynamic that threatens profitability and limits potential.

    MSP to MVP provides the missing methodology. Author Chris Day draws on more than twenty years of experience building and scaling technology service businesses to introduce the Six Disciplines of Customer Success, a practical operating system for managing and growing long-term client relationships.

    Inside, you will learn how to:
    • Understand what clients need at different stages of their business journey
    • Measure relationship health before small issues become big problems
    • Deliver value that resonates with business leaders
    • Build repeatable processes that drive retention and growth

    — Marc Capobianco
    Former COO, Thrive

    "This book reframes Customer Success from a role or department into a way of running an MSP. It reflects the same patterns Chris and I have seen firsthand while building one of the most progressive MSPs in Canada—where success comes from being proactive, intentional, and aligned around customer outcomes."
    — Martin DesRosiers

This book challenges our industry to put the customer first and build true strategic partnerships."

    "Customer Success isn't a moment—it's the disciplined orchestration of the entire lifecycle from sale to measurable value realization.

    CEO, Integris

    "Customer Success has matured into a real operating discipline in SaaS, but MSPs have struggled to apply it in practice. MSP to MVP does the hard work of translating Customer Success into a service-based world and shows what it actually takes to make it scale."
    — Nick Mehta
    Former CEO, Gainsight

    "MSPs fail at Customer Success, not because they don't care, but because they don't execute in clear, practical ways. This book makes it approachable and actionable for teams at every scale."

    "For the past decade, the MSP industry won by focusing inward—tightening operations, standardizing services, improving efficiency. The next decade will be defined by those who focus outward, aligning people, process, and technology around customer goals. As a participant and witness of this industry for three decades, I've seen firsthand that the ITSPs who have led during each transformation have succeeded.

    “Ryan Dewey Smith captures the essential problem common to human service providers—the belief that hope alone will carry them through crisis. His approach is honest and bold as he presents the conversation many providers find uncomfortable to embrace: the need to create financial stability to accomplish mission. We overuse the term “thinking outside the box,” yet the Inperium model Ryan has developed accomplishes just that … an alternative business strategy utilizing unique approaches that challenge the reader to rethink long-held assumptions.”

    President & CEO, RCPA

    "Ryan Dewey Smith demonstrates that building durable human service organizations at scale requires discipline, structure, and far more than good intentions.”
    — Jeffrey Sachs
    CEO, The Sachs Policy Group

    "At a moment when the organizations we depend on—from farms to hospitals to nonprofits—are under pressure from every direction, Ryan Dewey Smith offers something rare: a proven model for how mission-driven organizations not only survive—but thrive. Sustaining the Mission is essential reading for any leader building something that matters.”

    “I have raised capital for hundreds of not-for-profit organizations over the past twenty-five years. The most successful organizations are mission-focused with an emphasis on financial discipline, creating scale, and access to capital. In Sustaining the Mission, Ryan Dewey Smith captures these principles perfectly and outlines a replicable road-map for other not-for-profits to follow.”

    Managing Director, Cain Brothers

    "The emphasis on the value of shared resources is compelling. In an environment where organizations are often overly dependent on government funding, operate with narrow margins, and have limited payer diversity, the model makes strong practical sense and is likely to resonate with organizations struggling to sustain their missions year to year — or in some cases, month to month . . . [Ryan's] description of the challenges he faced . . . highlighted his leadership skills, but not without acknowledging mistakes . . . I found the book informative and very supportive of the Inperium affiliation model and Ryan's qualities as an impressive leader and innovator."

    "[Sustaining the Mission] details the journey of taking an idea/concept that is typically applied in the for-profit sector and tailoring it to the mission of a nonprofit . . . There were detailed/specific operational realities used throughout, but had authentic components that I enjoyed . . . Autonomy vs. independence [is] a useful tool for boards considering affiliation without feeling 'consumed' . . . If an organization fails it doesn't just end the organization, the impact is felt even more so to the people it serves . . . The book is practical, but I found it engaging and entertaining. Real world application and execution of a model that creates organizational sustainability."
    — Joshua Hocker
    EVP & Market President, Orrstown Bank

    "This book reads as an entrepreneur's memoir within the nonprofit sector . . . demonstrating that nonprofit work requires the same strategic thinking, business acumen, and adaptive leadership as any entrepreneurial venture, while maintaining fidelity to mission and the people served . . . [Sustaining the Mission] demonstrates that affiliation, network models, and strategic partnerships offer viable alternatives to struggling alone or closing doors.

    • Provides context and history for the traditional Irish lament known as the keen, examining the origins of the ritual and its history from paganism through Christianity

    • Explores keening’s shamanic dimensions and mythological connections to the Otherworld, including the world of Faerie while drawing on archaeology and traditional Irish folklore

    • Looks at the practicalities of keening, considering the wake as a rite of passage, the role and burden of keeners, the structure and music of the keen, and the contemporary rebirth of the practice

    Combining scholarship, storytelling, and embodied wisdom, Mary Mc Laughlin offers an authoritative yet accessible guide to the Irish keen as both an ancient funeral rite and a modern tool to help you navigate bereavement.

    A singer and instructor of Irish singing and Gaelic song, Mc Laughlin reveals the keening lament as a ritualized practice that bears aspects of ancient shamanism as well as the pre-Christian spiritual traditions of Ireland. She draws on her own personal experience, interviews, and historic texts to provide a comprehensive and inspiring study of this Irish practice.

    As she examines the origins of the keen in pre-Celtic Ireland and its mythological connections to the fairies, she compares its similarities to archetypal lamentation rituals in North America and Asia. Mc Laughlin also explores the keen’s transformation over time—the influence and integration of Christianity, its subsequent suppression, and its rebirth in recent years.

    But the true magic of the keen goes beyond its role in expressing grief. In addition to comforting the bereaved and honoring the deceased, the keeners aided the soul of the departed in making its journey to the Otherworld. Contemporary death doulas and hospice workers bear some similarities to keeners as they too help provide tools to process the transition from life to death amid the pain and sorrow at the loss of loved ones.]]>         13 02 23 02 1

    What Is the Irish Keen?

    The prevailing question that underpins this book seems on the surface relatively simple but, as I found, the answer is highly complex!

    The question is: “What is the Irish Keen?” A simplistic answer would go something like this: The keen is an improvised Irish lament sung over a dead body within the context of a wake and funeral, partly in the Irish language and partly in vocables.

    An extension of that definition could read:

    Traditionally it was an improvised vocalization, consisting of speech and singing that was governed by certain conventions. Sometimes performed by relatives, it was more usually performed by hired keeners and would be sung throughout the wake, funeral procession, and burial. At times keens, although improvised at the wake, would be remembered and sung over and over as a form of comfort for the bereaved. The shadows of the keen are also to be found in Irish poetry and song.

    The truth is that there is a great deal more to it than that. The Irish Keen has had a long and tumultuous history going back thousands of years and cannot be captured in a couple of sentences. There have been periods during which it was celebrated as an integral part of Irish culture; other times where it was denigrated and encased in extreme secrecy; a time where it became intertwined with Christianity; another where it was not practiced but its echoes were woven through Irish tradition; and now in the twenty-first century it is experiencing a renaissance of sorts both within and beyond the island of Ireland.

    At each stage of its evolution, it has borne the marks of the society that practiced it, and as such, is somewhat of a historical document. The essential focus of the keen has always been about lamenting the dead but what that lament was specifically intended to achieve, and how, is in many ways the greater question!

    Lamentation is universal and more often than not led by women. Ireland is no exception and the keeners are usually noted as being female. This doesn’t mean that men did not also keen; in fact, there are specific references to male lamentation that I discuss later. It is women, though, who are associated with keening, as Donegal singer Gearoidín Breathnach pointed out in our conversation when talking about the different roles taken in the early part of the twentieth century (see chapter 3).

    An interesting aspect of the keen is that a great deal of mystique has grown around it. The principal keener—the leader of the ritual—was known as the Bean Chaointe (Ban Kweencha—Keening Woman), although there are different spellings of her name throughout the available literature. In times gone by, the Bean Chaointe was a very powerful woman who orchestrated and controlled the “death rite of passage.” Her cry was legendary and this is one area where there is confusion. There is a particular woman in Irish mythology called the Bean Sidhe (Ban Shee—woman of the fairy tribe known as the Sidhe) who wails for certain families when death in that family is imminent.1 Some have heard this wail and likened it to the wail of the Keening Woman; others have heard it differently.

    The Bean Sidhe is a separate entity to the Bean Chaointe, but given the common denominator of death, it’s easy to see how these two characters became entwined. It is even more complex than that, though, as spiritually there is a kind of synthesis between the two, and in terms of the voices of women being heard, their wails were emblematic of the importance of the keen throughout the ages.

    Over the course of this book, I will be addressing all of these aspects to try to unpick the complex web of what we know as keening and how it has developed in Ireland, while sharing characteristics with the death laments of other cultures.

    Having been born in a time when the keen lay fallow and underground, I was in my early forties when I woke up to it and began to realize just how much Irish tradition was driven by it. I discovered this in my own work as a recording singer/songwriter, especially during the recording of Celtic Requiem,2 an album dedicated to my mother, who had passed a few years previously. That album was permeated with the keen, although I did not appreciate it at the time.

    The original theme of the album had been Celtic chant, but as I wrote and arranged the older songs that I had collected, I realized that they all had to do with death. It was another decade before I discovered that the keen is Ireland’s version of chant. The project was a joint one with William Coulter, a very fine guitarist and aficionado of Irish music—or as it was called in the United States, Celtic music. The rough recording of three songs that were on the original demo (which I seem to remember we did in a garage to save expense) found themselves in the hands of a recording company executive—a Californian record company that dealt in folk-based music. I was stunned as I couldn’t believe, after decades of disappointment and rejections, that I was finally getting a record deal! So Celtic Requiem was born and I buried myself in the project researching and arranging material for the next several months.

    Some years later, I recorded an album called Crystal Shoe that was themed as esoteric and contained magical fairy-tale songs. One of them was called “The Light of the Darkness,” a song that I wrote after an exceptionally powerful dream where my mother—who had passed in 1995—appeared to me. It was probably around then that I began to understand what Celtic Requiem had actually been about. In 2009 I returned to Ireland to study the keen in depth as part of an MA in Chant and Ritual Song, offered by the World Academy of Music and Dance based at the University of Limerick. During the course of my studies, I revisited what had happened to me in 1995 and set a steady path of investigating the influence of the keen on the Irish tradition that I had loved so dearly since my initiation into Gaelic singing at eleven years of age.

    The significance of 1995 was that was when my beloved mother was enduring a traumatic death.

    The Passing

    Eighteen hours before she passed my mother said to me, “I’m scared, will you come with me?” There was no point in being dishonest—it wasn’t “going to be grand,” as we Irish say, so I answered her honestly. “I can only come so far but I will come with you as far as I can.”

    I had a vivid impression of taking her to the shore of a river and knowing that she had to cross that river but that I couldn’t. In Greek mythology the river is called the River Styx—the boat is guided by Charon the ferryman. A coin was placed in the mouth of the person passing over to “pay” the ferryman.

    In pre-Christian Ireland, it was believed that the soul (ideally) went to Tír na nÓg, the land of plenty in the Otherworld and the abode of fairy folk. Some believed that fairies are actually the spirits of the dead.

    That week when my mother was dying changed my life. I knew at the time that it would, but I didn’t comprehend in what ways or how far-reaching the effects would be. It all sounds calm when I write this down, but to say I was in turmoil at the time would be an understatement. I loved my mother so much that the thought of losing her was too heartbreaking to even consider.

    This was the week when my dream of being an Irish singer (an ambition declared by my eleven-year-old self thirty years previously) looked like it was finally going to happen. I had just had my initiation into the Gaelic language and singing in the Donegal Gweedore Gaeltacht (Gwayl-tokht—Irish-speaking area). The Donegal Gaeltachts held summer schools lasting three weeks at a time for children from all over Ireland to help support the learning of Irish language and traditional culture.

    On my return from this life-changing three weeks, I had announced to my mother, “I know what I’m going to be when I grow up—a famous Irish singer,” and expected her to be as excited as I was. Her reaction was rather the opposite. “Over my dead body,” she said. “There’s no money in music, you’re a smart girl. . . .” She wanted me to be a teacher, and the height of her ambition, dictated in many ways by the country and era we lived in, was that I would one day be a school principal. While I did end up training as a teacher, my path has not been the usual predictable one, and certainly not the one that either myself or my mother had envisioned. My aspiration, though, was still about achieving recognition as a singer, so like many of my peers at that time, I led a double life. Teaching was the aspect that supported my musical ambitions and it continued to do so in different forms throughout my life.]]>         04 02 Rite of the Keen by Seren Bertrand

    There comes a time in each soul’s journey when the ache
    to remember becomes louder than the fear to forget.

    Dear Soul Tribe,

    This book is a call to remembrance, to the truth of who you are and the luminous codes you carry deep within your soul. It is a return to love—not earthly love but the keycode of purpose carrying the vibration that pulses through all creation.

    This love is not temporary, the fleeting love shaped by ego or circumstance; it is the eternal love that transcends time, space, and form. This love aligns us with divine timing, unifies us with our chosen family, activates our inner compass, and points us toward home. It calls us back to our original agreements, those “soul contracts” we made before we incarnated, the lessons we chose to learn, the gifts we came to offer, and the connections we agreed to make.

    It ignites the meaning behind why we choose all of it. All confusion fades in the presence of this love, as it illuminates our path and we stop chasing struggle in life and learn to live and embody it.

    Sweet friends, this love is not separate from you; it is you. It lives within your cells, your breath, your memories, your dreams. When you attune to it, you begin to dissolve the false layers that say you need to relive painful memories or get stuck in cycles of fear, shame, scarcity, and lack. Instead, those illusions fall away as you easily return to love. What remains is clarity, connection, and remembrance.

    To remember who you are is to lift the veil of illusion, layer by layer, and to come home to the truth that has always been there. Remembrance is not about becoming something new; it’s about letting go of what you are not.

    Your Birthright Codes is both an offering and an invitation. It is an interactive guidebook for the soul, meant to stir your ancient remembrance, awaken your energetic blueprint, and activate the divine frequencies encoded within your being.

    When we “return to love” we return to ourselves, and we remember why we came. Love doesn’t just heal wounds; it translates them into wisdom. Love doesn’t just open the heart; it awakens the soul. Love is the portal through which our birthright codes become activated, the sacred geometry of our divine design.

    These sacred imprints are not just metaphors; they are the living architecture within your lightbody that hold divine keys to your purpose, passion, and highest potential. These keys are in all of us and act as a roadmap to unlock profound ways to heal even the most painful experiences. You simply need to know how to unlock them.

    Throughout these pages, I share not only my earthly journey but also fragments of a life before this one—a premortal existence in what I call the “City of Light.” For the longest time I couldn’t understand why I remembered my premortal life, but I’ve learned my purpose is to share the wisdom of Spirit and the luminous beings that have guided us from beyond since the inception of time.

    I understand now that Spirit has always walked by our side, and as a medium and life path intuitive I’ve spent much of my life remembering the importance of those connections. I’ve used my memories to help others reconnect with their loved ones, and I have empowered others to reawaken to their own true purpose through their own spiritual gifts.

    This book is filled with Spirit’s hope for us as humanity—the keys and codes from the angels, our ancestors, soul family, and ascended team members who consistently guide us from the beyond. It is not meant to be read passively. Instead, it is an interactive soul experience filled with channeled healings of love, lightbody activations, meditations, and sacred teachings designed to help:

    ◊ Clear inherited and karmic templates

    ◊ Awaken your spiritual gifts

    ◊ Align with divine timing and soul contracts

    ◊ Heal core wounds and break cycles of lack, fear, and separation

    ◊ Reclaim your place within your chosen soul family

    ◊ Remember a life of love and live from the uninhibited innocence available to all of us

    ◊ Unlock the birthright codes, the sacred template each of us is born with

    ◊ Quantum leap manifestations and learn to live as the creator of your world

    I believe we are living in a pivotal time, what many call the Ascension Era. This is a moment of profound energetic expansion, a shift through which more souls than ever are awakening to their divine origin and purpose. If you are reading this book, you are most likely part of the collective who choose to be part of this prolific time to help others rise and step into purpose. If you’ve ever felt different from your family or peers, have been called to healing work or other creative arts, or simply feel curious about your own spiritual gifts, you are on the right path to return to new conscious awareness.

    It is my belief that we were never meant to live separate from Source nor toil through suffering and isolation. We were never meant to be without the cherished memories of our souls; neither should we have forgotten the blueprint that thins the veil between our soul’s earthly existence and the premortal realm before this one.

    We can, and must, learn to access the guidance of our soul family and teachings of our higher self. Too many of us find ourselves entrenched in a solitary, pain-filled journey, struggling with trauma and perpetuating destructive behaviors that ensnare us in cycles of lack and heartache. Many of us choose to dim our light after we are hurt, inadvertently disconnecting from a life filled with transformative happiness. But we have the power to reshape our lives and it starts with learning how to play the energetic game.

    In this book, I introduce readers to new concepts I learned while living in the City of Light. I talk about The Halcyon Thread, the etheric lifeline that connects you to the Creator, to your soul linage, and to your multidimensional self. You will learn how to restore and use this sacred thread as a conduit for divine remembrance.

    I will also introduce you to the concept of The Seedpoint of Innocence, a metaphorical “ground zero” that holds the purest form of your soul’s origin. It marks the beginning of the soul’s journey, when every potentiality lies before you. It is a moment that encapsulates the time of your creation, defined by impeccable timing, purpose, and a reflection of the life lessons you have chosen to undertake.

    These two concepts were foundational to a soul’s purpose and health in The City of Light, and they, and many other healing modalities, also exist here in the earthly realm and are available to you to “recode” at any time. They are the building blocks and the genetic makeup that Spirit and your reality interact with. They are vibrational truths, soul-level agreements, and divine instructions that reveal beautiful insight and guidance regarding your life journey. They align with your soul’s curriculum, your sacred contracts, and your gifts, all of which are waiting to be remembered, activated, and embodied.

    When these sacred designs align, they begin to reflect the truth of your spirit. They remind you of the love you are born from and destined to return to.

    I invite you to read this book with an open heart and follow what resonates with you. This book is meant to ignite your life and stop the cycle of slumber. When we align and awaken, the body comes alive. As you heal, energy begins to flow freely, no longer tangled in outdated patterns or suppressed truths. The nervous system softens and finally feels safe in the presence of inner clarity, synchronicities increase, dreams return, intuition sharpens, and the path that once felt hidden becomes illuminated with signs, symbols, and sacred nudges from The Universe.

    Now alive with purpose, your life begins to glow from the inside out, relationships shift (often dramatically), things that no longer serve you fall away, and what’s meant for you begins to arrive twofold.

    Let this book be a homecoming for your spirit; the moment you say yes to your divine remembrance and return to joy and electrifying purpose. You are the creator of your most marvelous life, and I feel honored to walk beside you.

    With love and light always,

    About the Author    ]]>         08 02 Your Birthright Codes is the latter. From the very first pages, I felt something stir. Not the usual excitement of a new spiritual book, but a deeper recognition. A cellular remembering. This is not another addition to the self-help shelf; it is a homecoming wrapped in paper and ink.

    What makes this work different is its audacious premise: that you were never broken, never lost, never separate from the love that created you. You have simply forgotten. And forgetting is not a sin—it is an invitation. The invitation extends with every chapter, every channeled healing, every lightbody activation woven into the pages of this book. I found myself pausing mid-paragraph, tears rising unbidden, as familiar as old friends. The Halcyon Thread. The seedpoint of innocence. These are not concepts to understand but frequencies to inhabit. And somehow, miraculously, this book helps you do exactly that.

    For anyone who has ever felt like the strange one in their family. For anyone who has cycled through the same painful patterns and wondered, why am I still here? For anyone who suspects their gifts are real but doesn’t know how to trust them. This book is your permission slip. Your activation key. Your soul family calling you home.

    Your Birthright Codes does not promise to fix you. It promises something far more radical: to help you remember you were never broken to begin with. Read it slowly. Let it work on you. And prepare to come home to the love you have always been."]]>     CHRISTOPHER BUCK, cofounder of Humanity Healing International and Cathedral of the Soul and coauthor     08 02 “Your Birthright Codes is a powerful reminder that our soul already holds the blueprint for our healing, purpose, and evolution. Emi’lea beautifully bridges intuitive wisdom with practical tools, guiding readers to reconnect with their inner truth and awaken their divine potential. This is a deeply activating and heart-opening journey of remembrance.”]]> GEORGE LIZOS, bestselling author of Change Your Karma and Ancient Manifestation Secrets 08 02 “Your Birthright Codes offers a refreshing and empowering perspective on intuition, purpose, and healing. Emi’lea provides readers with both insight and language to understand their inner world more clearly, making this an accessible and inspiring guide for personal transformation.”]]> PETER HANSEN, intuitive angelic channeler, healer, and ascension guide 08 02 Your Birthright Codes is the latter. Each page carries a frequency—one that gently dissolves the noise of the world and guides you home to your truth, your gifts, and your divine design.”]]> LIZA DAVIS, spiritual entrepreneur and chief creative officer for a premier Napa Valley wine brand 04 03 01 https://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/hostedcover/c201ea26-1dd5-43d4-bf58-b3f10035fe16 01 Findhorn Press SIMO562 Findhorn Press 01 01 Findhorn Press SIMO562 Inner Traditions/Bear & Company 02 20261110 01 AU NZ 01 9 in 01 228.6 mm 02 6 in 02 152.4 mm 03 0.6 in 03 15.24 mm 08 0.62 lb 08 9.92 oz 08 281.23 gr 27 15 9798888504116 Harper Collins Publishers NP 10 20260803 20261110 48 02 32.99 AUD AU Z 0.00 32.99 0.00 20260719 02 34.99 NZD NZ Z 0.00 34.99 0.00 20260719 Inner Traditions/Bear & Company AU 01 20261110     9798888504680 02 03 9798888504680 14 19798888504687 15 9798888504680 11 BC B102 Trade Paperback <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText>Ibogaine and the Bicameral Mind</TitleText> <Subtitle>The Transformational Potential of the World's Most Complex Psychedelic Medicine</Subtitle> 01 263962960 1 A01 Jonathan Dickinson Dickinson, Jonathan Jonathan Dickinson 2 A23 Rick Perry Perry, Rick Rick Perry 01 eng 512 00 512 03 OCC039000 VXA 2.1 10 OCC036030 10 PSY038000 20 VISIONARY PLANTS;ENTHEOGENS;IBOGAINE;PSYCHEDELIC MEDICINE;ADDICTION INTERRUPTIONS;TRAUMA HEALING;SHAMANIC MEDICINE;BWITI TRADITION;PLANT CONSCIOUSNESS;AFRICAN INDIGENOUS SPIRITUALITY;PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY;TRAUMA INTEGRATION;INTEGRATIVE HEALING;NEUROPLASTICITY;HOLISTIC RECOVERY;PLANT TEACHERS;CONSCIOUSNESS EXPANSION;SPIRITUAL AWAKENING;TRANSFORMATIONAL HEALING;HEROIC DOSE;MENTAL HEALTH;ADDICTION SCIENCE;CEREMONIAL MEDICINE;HEALING ADDICTIONS;SPIRITUAL MEDICINE;END-OF-LIFE CARE 93 VXA 93 VXWS 93 QRRV 93 MKZR 01 01 01 02 A comprehensive guide to ibogaine’s healing power, cultural roots, and clinical potential

    “A compelling call for further research into the potential of ibogaine therapy”—Kirkus Reviews

    • Explores how ibogaine works, including how it boosts cellular function,
    increases neuroplasticity, and interrupts habitual behavior patterns and trauma

    • Discusses the ritual roots of iboga in the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon

    • Shares case studies showing ibogaine’s healing effects for addiction recovery, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and Parkinson’s

    Ibogaine is an alkaloid derived from the iboga plant, native to Central Africa. Its healing effects are revered within the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon. International ibogaine expert Jonathan Dickinson explores how this psychedelic substance is now emerging as one of the most promising tools in neuro-regenerative medicine, addiction recovery, and treating trauma.

    Grounded in fieldwork and more than 15 years of clinical observation, Dickinson shows how ibogaine interacts with the body and mind, inducing a “bicameral state” of consciousness. This is a liminal mode of being in which ancient voices, archetypes, and internal guidance systems emerge, often catalyzing a profound reorganization of memory, identity, and behavior.

    He details how ibogaine boosts cellular function and shares impressive case studies to demonstrate how ibogaine has successfully treated PTSD, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s, neuropathic pain, and multiple sclerosis.

    As a clinician scientist, Dickinson has helped a multitude of veterans with their post-traumatic mental health struggles. As a Bwiti initiate, he is able to present in this book a unique understanding and new framework for engaging with this transformational psychedelic medicine.]]>         13 02 23 02 1

    The Spark That Lit the Thunder

    In the secret places inaccessible to laymen, the Black Magi,

    heirs of Balthazar, teach there the mysteries of existence

    and non-existence.

    Prince Birinda de Boudieguy,

    The Secret Bible of Africa According to the Bwiti

    Gabon’s sweltering heat began to envelop me from the moment I disembarked onto the jet bridge and into the musky air of the jungle. Cool beads of sweat were already collecting under the shoulder strap of my carry-on as I descended the first stairwell inside the terminal. This equatorial weather evoked memories of my recent summers living in Mexico, but the moisture here hung heavier and hotter. After growing up in Canada, this kind of climate was still exotic.

    I struggled through customs with my poor French and made my way through the airport. After picking up my luggage, I was greeted with a hug from Hughes Poitevin—better known by his nickname Tatayo—a French-born Gabonese citizen, long-since integrated into local culture as deeply as a white man possibly could be. On my path to learning about the root bark of the iboga shrub, which contains one of the world’s most powerful naturally occurring psychedelics, he kept coming up as the obvious next person to know. Over the years, several of my friends had visited him for initiation into Bwiti, the main Gabonese tradition that administers iboga in ceremonies of healing and rites of passage. Between the stories that they shared and Tatayo’s numerous appearances in National Geographic and on the BBC documentaries about Gabon, he already felt like a familiar face.

    “Hi! Ho! A fresh Canadian Pygmy,” he shouted with his usual style of irreverent humor. He was slender and wrinkled with age but beamed with youthful energy and a disarming smile. He originally came to Gabon for a two-week vacation back in 1971 at the age of twenty-one and fell so deeply in love with the open-hearted and artistic spirit of the people that he skipped his return flight and made it his home. He still wore subtle remnants of his hippie roots, like the beads hanging from his neck and wrapped around his wrists. I couldn’t help but note his vest layer over a loose-fitting long-sleeved shirt and his red wool beanie, all of which looked like overkill to me with the perspiration already dampening the back of my shirt. After loading my luggage into the trunk of his 1985 Land Cruiser, we made our way to Ebando, the home of the nongovernmental organization (NGO) that Tatayo founded decades earlier. The word Ebando is a Tsogho term that means “the beginning,” and the retreat center embodied its name as a starting point for countless international travelers interested in exploring Gabon and the Bwiti tradition.

    The truck rumbled through the streets of Libreville, the coastal capital, with the windows rolled down and Fela Kuti blasting from a Bluetooth speaker on the dashboard. The deep sky and dark green of the palms and flora accented the aging signage on cinder block shops and faded Western clothes, a muted background for the brightly colored and intricate prints of traditional African dresses. Along the way Tatayo talked about the cultural changes he’d witnessed in the country, and why he found the colorful synthetic hair extensions that many of the local women used distasteful. It sounded a bit problematic because they were almost ubiquitous on the city streets, and I didn’t share his opinion, which he reluctantly appreciated.

    Gabon is a small country with just over two million people, about a third of whom live in Libreville. The pace of urbanization and cultural change has been staggering, with many leaving hunter-gatherer lifestyles in the villages to enter the pursuit of careers and modern households in less than a generation. I asked Tatayo how many Bwiti temples made their home amid these kinds of urban neighborhoods, compared with the rest of the country.

    “It’s hard to know this,” he thought for a moment. “Maybe one hundred? But they are mostly new. Some of them come for a time, and then they go. It’s more in the countryside where you find Bwiti that continues for many generations. You will see. We will go and visit the countryside too.”

    One of the roads wound along the shoreline away from the city center, passing tall palace-like government buildings and some newer developments. Before long we arrived at Ebando’s small fenced-in plot next to the ocean, just on the outskirts of the city. We pulled into the yard of the naturally sheltered compound and parked in front of the entrance to a hangar-like structure with a metal roof. Several other weathered buildings surrounded an open grassy square. Outside the hangar, in a dry patch at the center of the grass, a campfire burned in broad daylight, surrounded by logs where several young people sat. One of them worked on a pile of palm leaves, carefully stripping lengths of fiber from the stems and collecting them in a pile next to a metal bucket.

    On the opposite side of the clearing, along the south wall of the compound, rested a trailer raised up on metal supports. It had a covered platform strewn with unique wooden artifacts and masks and a narrow path that led through the trinkets to the small room where Tatayo lived.

    We toured part of the hangar, which contained a kitchen and eating area decorated with similar artifacts and artwork and a lounge area with several couches and shelves spilling over with books left behind by visitors from all over the world. Out through the back door and down a shaded path behind the building, Tatayo handed me the key to the first in a series of small wooden guest cabins. The room had an empty shelf, a table, the necessary luxury of a floor fan, and a single bed draped with mosquito netting. I unpacked my bags and made the space my own. After the long flight, I welcomed a moment of rest. I couldn’t sleep yet, but with the faint sound of the ocean in the background, I spent some time reflecting on the winding journey that brought me here.

    A LONG ROAD TO GABON

    Five years before visiting Ebando, I immigrated to Mexico to work at a clinic that administered ibogaine, a psychedelic compound derived from the iboga shrub and used in centers around the world to help people detox from opioids and other drugs. For people who genuinely want to stop using illicit substances it can dramatically ease this notoriously challenging transition, removing most of the harrowing withdrawals from opioids and minimizing cravings afterward. Partly due to this association with heroin users in the throes of withdrawal, ibogaine remains the dark horse of the psychedelic world, a reputation further complicated by a number of deaths among people who have taken it, mostly attributed to preexisting cardiac complications or interactions with other drugs.

    Despite the inherent risks, I found ibogaine therapy amazing to witness. For the most part, people feel a kind of inner gravity that brings them to lie down and to close their eyes. To an observer who didn’t know any better, it could appear that a patient under the effects of ibogaine was simply asleep or at least resting very quietly. But during the process people often find their attention drawn to an inner tapestry of dreamlike visualizations. This parade from the inner depths can be highly personal or highly impersonal, sometimes banal, sometimes exquisite. Many find the effects to be quite challenging, physically, mentally, or emotionally, but most remain in a prone position and gravitate to a state of neutrality, witnessing visual reveries and processing through a kind of self-psychoanalysis.

    Depending on the dosage, the acute ibogaine trance can continue for upward of ten to fifteen hours, often followed by what ibogaine providers affectionately refer to as a “gray day.” Recovering from this, ibogaine’s aftereffects gradually taper off over the course of days, weeks, and sometimes months, leaving a sense of quiet, clarity, and ease. For those coming off drugs, the enduring benefits completely transform detox. The visions sometimes inspire valuable insights, but even when people don’t see anything clearly, the treatment provides physiological relief from withdrawal and cravings. This release is otherwise unheard of in early addiction recovery, where many continue to struggle with post-acute withdrawal and depression that can last a year or more.

    My own interest in ibogaine came about somewhat differently. I had never used heroin or most of the things that people came to the clinics to detox from, but I did pass through a deep and dangerous depression. When I was sixteen and going through a difficult period in high school, a doctor handed me a nine-item questionnaire printed on cardstock with a Zoloft logo in the header. Unsurprisingly, my answers landed me a prescription for Zoloft, a standard selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) designed to increase the amount of serotonin in my system.

    Two years and two different SSRI medications later, as the doctors fiddled with my prescription, I realized the professionals didn’t know what they were doing and quit cold turkey. The long valley of the withdrawal left me in a state of depersonalization, or derealization, during which I had difficulty grasping whether I or the world around me was real. Psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms and LSD helped me to emerge from that broken state and come alive again, but remnants of confusion and mental obsession continued to impact my life as I moved forward.]]>         04 02 Foreword by Rick Perry

    • Reveals the living consciousness of the four elemental beings and how their qualities reflect untapped human potential

    • Shares practical methods for engaging elemental energies through meditative exercises and direct inner experience

    • Shows how working with elemental spirits fosters empathy, willpower, clarity, and grounded presence—tools for personal transformation and spiritual growth

    The elemental spirits of nature are sentient beings composed of water, air, earth, and fire. Drawing on the teachings of Franz Bardon, and over four decades of direct clairvoyant experience, spiritual anthropologist William R. Mistele presents a practical guide to understanding their psychology, powers, and shows how their energy can help us reach our full potential.

    Each elemental spirit carries distinct qualities: undines offer radiant empathy and emotional healing; sylphs convey harmony and mental clarity; gnomes embody endurance and creative mastery; and salamanders transmit willpower and transformational fire. By studying their traits and consciousness, you will learn how to access these qualities from within yourself.

    The author explains how to perceive and interact with elemental beings, how humans differ from them through the fifth element of spirit, and how the elements correspond to psychological and spiritual development. With clarity and practicality, Mistele guides readers to experience elemental energies directly through meditation, imagination, and the cultivation of virtue.

    Sylphs, Salamanders, Gnomes, and Undines offers a unique synthesis of spiritual anthropology, Western magical tradition, and inner transformation. It reveals that when we integrate the elemental forces of nature into ourselves, we learn not only how to listen to the world, but how to change it.]]>         13 02 The Hermetic Tree of Life and Encounters with Mermaids.

    • Presenta 45 cartas dedicadas a símbolos, deidades y misterios del Nilo, ofreciendo claves concretas para el trabajo de autoconocimiento y sanación

    • Integra mitología egipcia, astrología y práctica espiritual contemporánea, facilitando lecturas oraculares aplicables a decisiones cotidianas, rituales y procesos terapéuticos

    • Incluye invocaciones y rezos a diosas como Sekhmet, Bastet, Isis y Maat, que sirven como guías para meditación, ritual y conexión devocional

    Este libro introduce un sistema oracular de 45 cartas centrado en símbolos, deidades y arquetipos del Antiguo Egipto. Cada entrada desarrolla el trasfondo mitológico de figuras como Ra, Isis, Sekhmet, Maat, Hathor u Osiris, junto con emblemas sagrados como el Ankh, el Ojo de Horus, el escarabajo, la pluma de Maat, el cartucho o la pirámide. El lector encuentra, para cada carta, una palabra clave, una idea-fuerza y una descripción clara de su energía, lo que facilita la lectura inmediata tanto para principiantes como para practicantes con experiencia.

    Además de la dimensión simbólica, la obra incorpora correspondencias astrológicas específicas (por ejemplo, Sol en Leo, Luna en Cáncer, Marte en Escorpio, Saturno en Tauro) que amplían las posibilidades de interpretación. Estas asociaciones permiten integrar el oráculo con cartas natales, tránsitos y trabajos de astrología psicológica, ofreciendo un puente entre la cosmovisión egipcia y herramientas habituales en la práctica contemporánea. El enfoque se orienta a la aplicación: cada carta señala actitudes internas, decisiones posibles y focos de conciencia para el momento presente.

    El libro también incluye rezos e invocaciones canalizadas a diosas centrales del mazo, como Sekhmet, Bastet, Isis y Maat. Estos textos pueden usarse en voz alta, en rituales simples en casa o como meditaciones guiadas para atravesar duelos, cambios vitales, búsquedas de equilibrio y procesos de empoderamiento. El lector aprende a consagrar espacios, objetos y gestos cotidianos como templos vivos, utilizando los símbolos del mazo para crear prácticas sostenibles de autocuidado espiritual.

    La autora expone el origen del oráculo en un viaje iniciático por templos como Philae, Karnak y Dendera, y muestra cómo esa experiencia se traduce en un sistema organizado, claro y accesible. La colaboración con la ilustradora aporta una capa visual que refuerza la comprensión de cada arquetipo. Así, Oráculo del Sagrado Egipto: Símbolos, deidades y misterios del Nilo se presenta como una herramienta estructurada para integrar la sabiduría egipcia en la vida cotidiana.]]>         13 02 Vibrar Alto y Manifestar, y ha creado otros oráculos dedicados a hechizos, animales de poder y arcángeles.

    Academic research is a powerful source of innovation, but turning a discovery into a real-world product is a complex process. From Lab to Launch gives scientists, inventors, and innovators a clear, candid look at how to navigate that path.

    Davis Farmer draws on decades of experience in biotech startups, licensing, and global dealmaking to help researchers understand what to expect when science meets business.

    You’ll learn:
    • How to approach invention disclosure and intellectual property
    • What tech transfer offices actually do, and how to work with them
    • When it makes sense to launch a company, and how to build one that lasts
    • Why most startups fail, and how to avoid common traps
    • What role you should play in the process, and how to choose wisely

    Whether you're licensing an invention, starting a venture, or advising someone who is, this guide brings clarity to a high-stakes journey.]]>         13 02 DAVIS FARMER is a biotechnology executive, advisor, and company builder with more than three decades of experience in the global life sciences industry.

    What truly sets Davis apart is not only his deep worldwide knowledge of the interface between industry and academic research, but his extraordinary gift for solving problems at this interface. His success stems from the affection he inspires and his strategic insights and uncanny instinct in identifying technologies with real potential. Any reader will understand why Davis has become an invaluable friend. I cannot recommend him as a mentor highly enough."
    — Christopher Hentschel, PhD
    Former Head, MRC Collaborative Center and Malaria Medical Ventures

    "What a remarkable book! Nothing like it has been done before, and it will be an invaluable part of my library. I have personally travelled the journey that Farmer describes multiple times and often reflect on the recipes for successes and failures in my experience and share these with colleagues, founders, and first-time CEOs. My insights, shaped by over twenty-five years in biotech, might have been foreshortened and facilitated if I had Farmer’s book earlier. Farmer and I worked together on several ventures, and he knows what he’s talking about! The anecdotes in the book are enormous fun and provide great insights."

    "Davis Farmer is that rare individual who can understand science and apply that understanding to evaluating the commercial opportunity the science represents. Equally important—he can relate to both inventors and investors to help realize that opportunity.

    I have worked with Davis for more than thirty years. During that time, we started a number of companies and closed a number of deals in the biomedical space. It has been a rewarding experience."
    — Jerry Balter
    Cofounder & Managing Partner, the Ulysses Advisory Group; Former Manager, the New Zealand Seed Fund

    "Having worked with Davis to create university spin-outs and later on governance boards, I am impressed by his ability to adeptly embrace and guide the unique process of commercializing intellectual property. His relationship skills, in particular his genuine interest and empathy for researchers’ objectives, coupled with his understanding of the requirements of investors, brings a clear and strategic approach to project leadership. Davis was a pleasure to work with; his way of working gave me confidence as head of the tech, transfer office."
    — Colin Dawson BVSc, MBA, CFinsD
    Former CEO, Otago Innovation Tech, Transfer Office

    "My friend and business partner, C. Davis Farmer, Jr., has a unique way of treating people, seeing the world, and navigating the inevitable challenges of building a successful life science start-up.

    I worked with Davis for over a decade in two ventures and constantly admired his friendliness, kindness, and generosity. As Board Chairman, he would spend his lunch hours reading Winnie-the-Pooh to an employee working to improve his English so he could read the book to his son. He hosted themed dinners for the team and organized unforgettable retreats at his summer home on Lake Winnipesaukee, even flying the national flag of each guest. This genuine care for people has been central to his success in negotiations and in shaping diverse, strong-willed founders into principled, mission-driven teams.

    Davis’s perspective is equally distinctive. An avid student of art who has visited nearly every major museum in the world, he once told me his favorite painter was J. M. W. Turner —an inspired, unconventional choice that reflects his own forward-looking sensibility. His office walls are covered with photographs he has taken around the world, and he delights in turning them into puzzles for visiting partners, breaking the ice with curiosity and playfulness. In tense startup moments, he often invokes the old British principle, 'innocent until proven guilty,' diffusing blame and redirecting energy toward solutions. That instinct—to preserve dignity while pressing forward—builds loyalty and camaraderie.

    And then there are his stories. He’s witty, improbable, and always instructive. No matter the subject, his moral is simple and unmistakable: never stop trying. In this book, Davis shares the mindset behind turning novel scientific ideas into thriving companies. Read it, and you’ll understand why working with him has been both a privilege and an education."
    — David Kreimer, PhD
    CEO & Founder, Younger Phenotype Inc.

    "I first met Davis thirty-five years ago after being recruited by the UK Medical Research Council to develop a more effective technology transfer function. Access to his expertise and experience proved extremely helpful. I learned a lot. In addition to his wealth of relevant knowledge, Davis’ personal style demonstrated a constructive approach alongside key skills needed in negotiation between the different worlds of academic researchers and investors."
    — Dr. David Owen, FRSB, OBE
    Former CEO, Medical Research Council Technology Ltd.

    "Innovation has powered humanity’s greatest advances, and today academic research drives much of this progress, turning bold ideas into discoveries that reshape society. This book offers a clear, comprehensive roadmap for transforming academic science into a start-up—from the first spark of invention through the hard realities of building, funding, and ultimately exiting a company—while preparing founders, investors, collaborators, and tech-transfer professionals for the hurdles and high failure rates inherent in this journey. For anyone considering launching, joining, or supporting a science-based venture, this guide is an indispensable place to start."

    The Drs. Rouben and Violet Jiji Endowed Professor of Pediatrics and Chair, Department of Pediatrics, Univeristy of Maryland School of Medicine; Director, University of Maryland Children's Hospital

    "Davis and I worked side by side to set-up Pacific Edge Ltd., a publicly listed cancer diagnostics company originally spun out of the University of Otago in New Zealand. Davis was remarkably knowledgeable about all aspects of company start up, ranging from staff job descriptions to laboratory fit-out and recruitment of the Scientific Advisory Board. Davis’ magic was his ability to work with people from all walks of life, to build cohesive teams, and distill the essence of meaningful new biotechnology ventures."

It is the decisive competitive advantage.

    In The Human Connection, enterprise transformation advisor Anthony E. Tuggle challenges conventional leadership thinking by proving that organizational culture drives performance. Drawing from more than twenty-five years at AT&T, where he led teams of up to thirty thousand employees, Tuggle reveals how leadership development, workplace trust, and psychological safety directly impact employee engagement strategies and high-performance teams.

    Through candid storytelling, Tuggle shares pivotal moments:
    • Confronting a manager’s misconduct early in his career
    • Realigning a failing Kansas City leadership team during a mandatory Saturday reset
    • Guiding thirty thousand employees through a global shift to remote work during COVID

    He also shares his private journey through a kidney transplant and how revealing his vulnerability reshaped executive leadership skills and corporate leadership coaching approaches within his teams.

    Readers will learn practical tools including the GROW coaching model, the LEAP framework, the 3×3 Check-In, and alignment diagnostics that strengthen organizational culture and team alignment. These strategies are designed for immediate application across industries.

    For executives, managers, HR leaders, and emerging decision-makers, this book provides a clear blueprint: when leaders build environments where people feel seen, heard, and valued, performance accelerates naturally.

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]]>         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 01 02

    Memory is in the blood.

    In the shadowed world beneath the city’s music, masks, and midnight rituals, Vlad Dracul reigns. Ancient and bound by blood and magic, he is the original vampyr—protector of his daughters, the Casket Girls, and keeper of a fragile peace among rival clans. His past is carved by centuries of desire and loss, and by one woman he has never forgotten.

    Enter Reine.

    A bartender with an artist’s eye and a soul older than it should be, Reine is drawn into a forbidden night where vampire politics, Otherworlders, and dangerous magic collide. One glance is enough. Vlad sees the echo of a buried love—and a temptation that could ignite war.

    What follows is not a simple romance, but a collision of obsession, memory, and fate. Desire turns lethal. Blood becomes intimate. Loyalties fracture as ancient rivalries flare, and the line between protection and possession dissolves. Reine doesn’t remember Vlad—but her dreams and art betray a bond that refuses to stay buried.

    Spanning centuries and pulsing with heat, Blood & Bedlam is a decadent, high-stakes paranormal romance where love survives lifetimes—and New Orleans becomes a gothic playground for monsters who refuse to remain in the dark.]]>         13 02 T.C.

    Unearthing the network that hid the Angel of Death, the infamous Nazi doctor who escaped justice for more than three decades.

    In 1985, six-year old Betina Anton watched Brazilian authorities apprehend her kindergarten teacher for allegedly using documents to bury in secrecy the remains of Josef Mengele, known worldwide for cruel human experiments and for sending thousands to the Auschwitz gas chambers. Decades later, as an experienced journalist disturbed by the mysteries surrounding the departure of Austrian expat Liselotte Bossert, Anton set out to find her and see if the rumors were true. She could not imagine how deeply into Mengele's life-on-the-run her investigation would take her.

    Josef Mengele was a fugitive in South America for thirty-four years after World War II, sought by the Israeli secret service and Nazi Hunters. Hidden for half that time in Brazil, thanks to a small group of expatriate Europeans, Mengele created his own paradise where he could speak German with new friends, maintain his beliefs, stay one step ahead of the global manhunt, and avoid answering for his crimes.

    Translated from the Brazilian Tropical Bavaria edition and based on extensive research, including revelatory interviews and never-before-seen letters and photos, Hiding Mengele is a suspenseful narrative not only haunted by the doctor's horrific actions but also by the motivations driving a community to protect an evil man.]]>         13 02 Betina Anton was born in São Paulo, graduated in journalism from the School of Communications and Arts of the University of São Paulo (ECA/USP), and holds a master's degree in international history from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

    Each story follows a distinct agent of the Speculative Detective Agency as they confront cases that defy conventional logic: haunted environments that resist documentation; a Bloody Mary sighting at an elementary school; half a demon terrorizing a neighborhood; an office staffed entirely by functional zombies; and a deeply personal mystery involving a husband who has inexplicably become the moon. Together, these stories create a mosaic of strange investigations grounded in emotional stakes, wit, and sharp storytelling. The anthology boasts 16 stories blending classic investigative elements with science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

    The knuckleball is the only skill that can elevate an athlete without a superjock’s speed, strength, or explosive power to the Hall of Fame. Thrown without spin, it darts around unpredictably for reasons physicists and engineers labor to explain. It’s a secret weapon every pitcher should want to master, so why is the knuckleball close to extinction?

    When a father discovers his baseball-crazed sons have the knack for the knuck, they begin a decade-long, cross-country quest to perfect the pitch. Along the way they meet the greatest to throw it, the scientists investigating its mysterious movement, sabermetricians, and executives who hope to resurrect it.

    When freedom is denied by governments, can it still be carried—hand to hand, heart to heart—by people?

    Nizam Missaghi was seven years old when he was expelled from school for the first time in Tehran—not for misbehavior or poor grades, but for belonging to a faith the Islamic Republic refused to recognize. In post-revolutionary Iran, being Baha’i meant fractured futures: no university, no profession, no way to support a family.

    Yet hidden in a dresser drawer was a golden ticket: a United States passport quietly renewed every five years in secret.

    Born in the United States and taken back to Iran as an infant, Nizam grew up free on paper and trapped in practice, watching his possibilities shrink with each passing year.

    As adolescence gave way to urgency, Nizam had to decide whether hope was worth the risk of escape. With surveillance closing in and many doors slammed shut, he faced an unthinkable choice: remain invisible or gamble everything on a document that could save or destroy him.

    Passport to Freedom is a gripping memoir of faith, identity, and the fragile line between belonging and exile—where freedom is never guaranteed, and survival depends on who dares to help you carry it. At a time when authoritarian regimes cloak oppression in the language of culture and faith, Nizam’s unbelievable journey reminds us what is lost when conscience is outlawed—and why America remains a refuge worth choosing.]]>         13 02

    Twelve extraordinary people. Twelve completely different origin stories. One unifying outcome.

    Some were teachers. Some were entrepreneurs. Some were pastors, parents, innovators, business leaders, or unlikely reformers. None set out to become heroes.

    Yet each confronted a problem that others accepted as inevitable—and chose to do something about it.

    In The Education Avengers, Jeanne Allen tells the stories of twelve remarkable individuals who transformed the lives of children and communities by refusing to accept the status quo. Their journeys reveal how courage, purpose, persistence, and hope can overcome seemingly impossible obstacles.

    Through compelling storytelling, Allen explores what happens when ordinary people answer an extraordinary call: to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

    More than a book about education, The Education Avengers is a book about leadership, innovation, resilience, and the power of one person to change the trajectory of countless lives.

    At a time when many Americans feel powerless, these stories remind us that heroes are not born. They are summoned.

    Feminism promised women happiness.

    But decades later, women are more anxious, lonelier, and more unhappy than ever.

    The movement that vowed to liberate us has left a generation of young women without direction, clarity, or peace.

    In We Can’t Do It: 50 Reasons Feminism Failed and Why Tradition Is the Ultimate Rebellion, authors Lily Kate and Huntley Jett expose one of the greatest cultural deceptions of our time: the belief that feminism is a success. Through fifty powerful insights, they reveal how the feminist movement radically redefined womanhood, distorted feminine strength, broke down societal stability, and quietly stole the very joy it promised to deliver.

    Instead of resentment and rivalry, this book calls women to embrace peace, purpose, and divine feminine design. It’s a bold invitation to rediscover a heart posture of biblical femininity without the costume: where strength is not lost in gentleness, family is not an obstacle to success, and womanhood is regarded as sacred rather than a burden.

    For women who feel caught between cultural pressure and biblical truth, We Can’t Do It offers clarity, courage, and conviction for a new generation ready to live counter to the current.]]>         13 02

    A powerful, firsthand account of a woman’s fifty-day struggle to protect three generations of her family while held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.

    For fifty days, Dr. Shoshan Haran was held captive alongside her family—including her three-year-old granddaughter—under the constant threat of terrorists and the horror of IDF bombardments.

    After their release, words began to pour out of her. Mission in Captivity is a story of physical and psychological survival in a place where the threat of death looms over every moment. It is an account of the determination to look pure evil in the eye through long, harrowing conversations with her captors.

    This firsthand account also documents the ongoing struggle to return all the hostages, describes the depths of entrenched hatred within Gaza, and issues a wake-up call to the free world to act against a murderous ideology that threatens its very existence. Mission in Captivity is a powerful testament, written with a sensitive hand, that will haunt the reader long after the final page.]]>         13 02 Mission in Captivity, she shares a profound story of survival and resilience that transcends politics.

    Garrett Adelstein, widely recognized as the best high-stakes cash game player on earth—and the alleged mark in “Jack-Four,” the most controversial hand in poker history—flips the deck in Beneath the Cards.

    This gripping memoir charts Garrett’s up-and-down journey to the pinnacle of poker—from online poker prodigy to livestream superstar—until one hand threatened to destroy everything he’d built. He pulls no punches, taking readers through his turbulent career and offering a riveting insider account of underground games where compulsive gamblers, seasoned grifters, and millions of dollars collide in minutes. Garrett comes clean on drunken binges, death threats, financial ruin, and public backlash. Along the way, he shares accessible poker insights and delves into the mindset required to navigate this cutthroat, unforgiving arena.

    Garrett also candidly discusses his life beyond the table. He exposes his deeply personal battles with perfectionism, depression, body dysmorphia, and even his demoralizing appearance on Survivor. Through these experiences, the book examines connection, identity, and what happens when winning is no longer enough—universal themes that resonate even with those who’ve never played a hand.

    Powered by the perceptiveness and humor that endear Garrett to poker enthusiasts worldwide, Beneath the Cards is an unforgettable ride appealing to poker fans, business professionals, sports and true crime readers, and anyone intrigued by the price of extreme competition.]]>         13 02 Beneath the Cards, a memoir chronicling his successes and setbacks on and off the table.

    When newly divorced fifty-year-old Grace Callahan spies a fixer-upper historic home for sale in Ojai, California, she decides to fly out from the Midwest to take a look. Grace immediately falls in love, with both the ramshackle old adobe and the little town. It’s just the change she’s been looking for—but once she moves in, she wonders if she’s bitten off more than she can chew. The house needs a lot of work, as do the orchards and the ranch animals. Luckily, support soon arrives: Emilio, a handsome contractor, helps restore the house; Juan and Carlos gently bring the orchards back to life; Rosa does housekeeping and becomes a friend; and Jane Anne offers to care for the animals, just as she did for the previous owner.

    When Emilio asks Grace on a date, she’s excited. But as much as she enjoys his company, the spark isn’t there—and between the steep learning curve at the ranch, her new job, and her friendship with Jane Anne, there isn’t much time for romance in her life anyway. But as her relationship with Jane Anne grows closer and deeper, Grace wonders if there might be room in her life for love after all.]]>         13 02 Sara Elliott is a queer fiction author and a divorced mom of three grown daughters.

    When a crow swoops down on a smoky August afternoon and starts speaking with her, mythology professor Catherine Moss assumes someone is playing a joke. Stuck in the anger stage of grief ever since the disappearance of her daughter, Sierra, Catherine does not tolerate tricksters easily. But she does suffer from face blindness, which renders her unable to recognize even familiar people. Crows excel in facial recognition.

    Soon this crow—whom Catherine dubs Veronica—is serving as her support animal, perching on her shoulder to whisper the names of students and colleagues in her ear. She also introduces Catherine to her other human friend, an unhoused young artist named Mari. Together, the two lead Catherine to confront her deepest fear: not that Sierra is dead, but that her daughter may one day return radically changed and emotionally damaged.

    Set amid the yellowed skies and swirling ash of a California city during fire season, Catherine Over Water addresses the near-unbearable task of dwelling in limbo.]]>         13 02 Nancy Schoellkopf is a California poet and novelist who writes stories with spiritual themes.

    Jen Thompson rose to the heights of politics in her early thirties as a celebrated Republican strategist—a rarity for a young woman. For years, success and power were her only ambitions, despite the drumbeat of her inner voice warning that her life was wildly off course.

    It was only when a car accident nearly killed her on the campaign trail of a nationally watched Senate campaign that Jen finally decided to walk away. Her sudden alienation from the life she had always known set into motion cascading events that carried her across the world and deep into a reckoning with her own soul.

    A memoir in vignettes, Wild Pivot explores how blind loyalty develops and shapes a woman with the craving to fit in and feel celebrated. With a piercing ability to explore just how jarring change and evolution can be, Thompson moves with unflinching honesty and razor-sharp wit between snapshots of her life as she grapples with the demons of her past and commits herself to doing what is required to live a life of truth and freedom—no matter the cost.]]>         13 02 Jen Thompson is a former political campaign manager and counsel in the US House and Senate.

    Georgine had built a life of careful control. As a wife, mother, and college professor, she minimized risk and played by the rules. Her attorney husband was successful, her four grown daughters were thriving, and her students knew that hard work and deadlines mattered. Having survived a turbulent adolescence marked by poverty and substance abuse, she believed in the safety of well-ordered environments.

    Then the pandemic upended everything. When classrooms and offices closed, Georgine and her husband Mark relocated to Puerto Rico, where she discovered a flourishing—and often outrageous—cryptocurrency community. As she navigated the mysteries of crypto trading and uncovered the political complexities woven into the fabric of the beautiful Caribbean island she now called home, Georgine embarked on a journey that would shatter her orderly existence—and force her to revisit the dangerous youth that had shaped her complicated relationship with home, risk, and money.

    A memoir about facing past mistakes and embracing second chances, Crypto Island reminds us that personal growth never stops, and that living authentically often demands both resilience and reinvention.]]>         13 02 Georgine Hodgkinson is a professor of communication studies at Cosumnes River College in Sacramento, where she also served as program coordinator for Re-Emerging Scholars, a program for formerly incarcerated students.

    At the age of ten, Rosanne Annoni had a vision of Christ calling her to become a nun—only to have her devout Catholic mother respond to this news with a slap across the face. Traversing the time between that childhood vision and a solitary winter in Pema Chodron’s cabin at Gampo Abbey, Unfolding the Heart weaves together raw personal storytelling, spiritual discovery, and psychological insight. Through the highs of spiritual clarity and the depths of trauma, she searches relentlessly for her true path—and finds it not in renunciation, but in presence.

    Spanning decades of grief, motherhood, cancer, and healing, this memoir explores the messy beauty of a life lived with courageous self-inquiry. Through the Diamond Approach, Buddhist practice, and deep personal relationships, Rosanne unearths wisdom from adversity and uncovers grace in the ordinary. For spiritual seekers, healing professionals, or anyone navigating loss, midlife change, or a desire for inner truth, Unfolding the Heart is a cathartic, hopeful story of letting go, leaning in, and discovering that spiritual path isn’t somewhere far away—it’s right here, within.]]>         13 02 Rosanne Annoni was a successful psychotherapist for thirty-five years in the Bay Area before becoming an ordained teacher of the Diamond Approach in 2000.

    “Rosanne Annoni takes us with her on her quest for true nature, navigating childhood wounds, missteps and misadventures, marriage and motherhood, and friendship and grief with honesty, grace, and forgiveness. We can all learn from Annoni as we, too, stumble through our messy lives on our own paths to true nature.”—Ann Hood, New York Times best-selling author of The Knitting Circle

    In 1950s Turkey, against the backdrop of the social and political unrest that will culminate in Turkey’s 1960 military coup d'état, a dutiful daughter is torn between family expectations and her dream of becoming a modern Turkish woman.

    Forty-eight-year-old Grammy winner Renn Walker is a fallen country music star. Years ago, he was canceled following allegations of sexual misconduct, and he has lived in seclusion ever since. Once a beloved figure, he seems to have lost it all.

    When Emerson and Renn meet, sparks fly. Against all odds, a star obsessed with popularity and a recluse shunned by the world fall in love. Everyone in the public and media has an opinion and thinks they know Emerson and Renn. But in a world dominated by social media—a world that blurs the lines between what’s public and private, what’s real and what’s illusion—do we ever really know anyone?]]>         13 02 Patricia Leavy is an award-winning, best-selling author.

    “What begins as a glamorous, high-heat romance opens into something heavier and more tender . . . the meaning of Sugar Sand Land itself, gave the book a deeper emotional center than I expected at the start.

A smart take on life, art, and social media.”—Jessica Smartt Gullion, author of October Birds

    “This book is about that space between appearances and reality, love and hurt, social media and illusion, and how a couple in love can navigate that space while remaining true to their art and themselves.

    Living in the Long Shadow is a poignant memoir told in dual timelines: the formative years of Suzanne’s childhood and the two weeks following her mother’s suicide when Suzanne is eighteen. With honesty and grace, Suzanne traces what it means to grow up in the shadow of mental illness—navigating her need for guidance and belonging, the fear of inheriting her mother’s illness, and the journey of loving a mother unable to live with or without her medication.

    Ten years after her mother’s passing, an extraordinary sign affirms the enduring presence of her love—and Suzanne’s grief begins to make room for acceptance.

    When her elderly mother shoots her abusive husband—Deborah’s father—in their Arkansas home, Deborah is thrust into a storm of media frenzy, grief, and caregiving. As she fights for justice, supports her paralyzed wife, and battles personal demons, Deborah begins to unravel a deeper legacy of generational trauma—and realizes the need to rescue herself.

    Told with gripping honesty, Grace Through Fire follows Deborah’s odyssey through murder trials, chronic illness, financial collapse, and spiritual reckoning. From the chaos of the rural South to the stillness of yoga studios and the healing waters of Lake Powell and Crater Lake, Deborah rediscovers her strength, sobriety, and purpose.

    This is a narrative of transformation and fierce resilience—a memoir for anyone who has ever questioned their worth, carried the pain of their family, or longed for a fresh start. At the heart of it all is a bold love story, a leap of faith, and one woman’s courageous choice to create a life of freedom, service, and light on the California coast.]]>         13 02 Deborah Samuel was born in Rogers, Arkansas, and spent two decades as an award-winning educator for at-risk youth before being named National Physical Education Teacher of the Year.

    Katie Trexler was at the top of her game—thriving in her high-profile job as a local television news anchor, raising healthy young twins, and a leading a nearly idyllic life with her husband in the suburbs of Denver. Then believing it was the right decision for her family—and unaware of the toll it would take on her well-being—she gave up her dream career.

    Years later, unsatisfied with where her path has led, Katie wonders, What do I tell my daughter about the choices I’ve made as a woman and mother? With raw honesty, What Do I Tell My Daughter? delves into the real and sometimes hidden costs of sacrificing parts of ourselves for the people we love—a reality Katie confronts first as a young mom and then again almost a decade later when her seemingly ideal life unexpectedly shatters.

    Punctuated by hard-earned lessons about inner strength, self-love, and equality in relationships, this unflinchingly candid memoir is for any woman, any person, who has ever lost themselves while caring for others—and who is determined to reclaim their voice, redefine success, and model courage and awareness for the next generation.]]>         13 02 Katie Trexler is an Emmy Award–winning television journalist turned PR professional.

    What is the half-life of O’Toole family secrets?

    In 2013, Saige is stuck living with her Granny Rosamond in her beige wasteland of a hometown. Desperate for a diagnosis and cure for her mysterious ailments, she uncovers more than she bargained for—a hot rock that shouldn’t exist and a past Rosamond refuses to explain.

    That past takes place in the 1940s, when 50,000 people move to an eastern Washington town that doesn’t exist to build something they can’t name. Rosamond is one of them, eager to do her bit for the war effort—and find a husband. When she falls for a charming engineer, she envisions a perfect life. But as the hot war turns cold and her ever-expanding family becomes increasingly troubled, she discovers this nuclear town is no utopia, and she must decide whether to cling to the destructive facade of domestic bliss or face the truth that could save them all.

    When Rosamond’s past collides with Saige’s search for healing, half-buried secrets—from the most contaminated place in the Western Hemisphere to the wounds within their own family—can no longer be ignored. Can Saige discover the truth and heal herself without destroying her grandmother’s life?]]>         13 02 Shannon St. Hilaire writes about forgotten histories and the fascinating women who lived through them.

    For years, Lisa Cheek believed commitment wasn’t in her genes. Her dating patterns were clear—date a lot and widely, but never settle down. When anyone wanted to marry her, she backed away. So even she is surprised when, at forty-nine, she finally says “yes” to a proposal and commits fully to her boyfriend, Big Johnson. But when she finds out on their wedding day, after the vows, that they aren’t actually married, she hesitates. Should she take this as a sign to run while she still can?

    In The Big Day, Lisa Cheek invites us to witness her wedding day, with all its hilarity, chaos, and unexpected turns. Throughout, she reviews both her past relationships and the marriages of her family and friends, analyzing the choices of others and reliving the biggest ups and downs of her own love life.

    Silas John Edwards—a charismatic Apache medicine man—was known as a controversial figure on Apache reservations in Arizona and New Mexico, where white authorities determined to maintain control over reservation life. When his wife, Margaret, was brutally murdered in 1933, Silas John was tried and convicted—receiving a sentence of life in prison. The key piece of evidence against Silas John was a rock found near Margaret's body, scratched with his initials, “S. J. E.".

    Were the scratched initials an attempt to frame a man whose independent path was deemed troublesome? Eighteen years into Silas John’s sentence, the celebrated writer of the Perry Mason mysteries, Erle Stanley Gardner, received a desperate letter from the incarcerated medicine man. Gardner and Silas John met in prison and joined forces to reinvestigate the case. Under the auspices of Gardner’s Court of Last Resort, an organization like today’s Innocence Project that investigated cases of wrongful conviction, Gardner traveled through Arizona’s varied reservation landscapes to hunt for clues.

    Together Silas John and Gardner attempted to unravel the flimsy evidence—including dubious footprint casts and questionable claims of Apache custom—to shatter the "cement silence" of prison and fight for the freedom of a historically important spiritual leader. The Case of the Autographed Corpse details a dramatic and little-known episode in American history and two men’s unwavering commitment to the truth.]]>         13 02 Jack El-Hai is an author and journalist who has written for The Atlantic, Smithsonian, GQ, Wired, Scientific American, Discover, and many other publications.

    On a stormy summer night in 1891, a young Dutch widow left her home and went for a walk outside alone in the rain. It was the anniversary of the death of her brother-in-law, Vincent van Gogh, and she was at the beginning of an improbable decades-long journey that would transform the ridiculed and unappreciated painter into one of the most beloved artists of all time.

    Johanna "Jo" van Gogh-Bonger is a critical piece of the puzzle in understanding the life and posthumous fame of Vincent van Gogh, but most have never even heard her name. Jo was the wife of Vincent’s younger brother Theo, and when Theo died just six months after Vincent, she found herself with an extraordinary inheritance that included a treasure trove of Vincent's drawings, letters, and some four hundred paintings. Family, friends, and critics considered it largely worthless. Vincent’s life’s work might well have wound up lost, casually dispersed, or relegated to the family attic. But Jo, who was convinced Vincent was a misunderstood genius, had other ideas.

    The Widow Van Gogh takes a fresh and illuminating approach to the Van Gogh story by placing Jo at the center. While they had every intention of being good to each other, Vincent, Theo and Jo found themselves in a tragic love and financial triangle. Theo was torn between his love for Jo and his duty to Vincent; Vincent was a threat to the happiness of Theo and Jo; and Jo was a threat to Vincent’s relationship with Theo. Joan Martelli offers new insight into the burning questions that have long puzzled art lovers—why Vincent cut off part of his ear, why he shot himself, and how, after selling one painting in his lifetime, he achieved such worldwide fame.

    With vivid prose and intimate details, Joan Martelli details the last tumultuous years of Vincent’s life and the three decades following his death as Jo struggles to be a good mother and a noble person, while also trying to find personal happiness. Jo would take on the role of dealer, publicist, and editor, and remain true to what she saw as her duty to be the Vincent's champion.

    The Widow van Gogh might be set in another era, but family tensions and issues of loyalty, guilt, financial hardship, misunderstanding, loneliness, mental illness, and ambition resonate today as an all too human story and invite readers to see Vincent’s life and work anew, through the loving eyes of the Widow van Gogh.]]>         13 02 Joan Martelli is a multiple-award-winning American storyteller, investigative journalist, and author.

    Family is the most ubiquitous and persistent human social group. Everyone across the world has a family, even if that family has been lost, broken, or transformed. Acclaimed anthropologist Meredith Small, author of Our Babies, Ourselves, examines the very roots of the family and why this particular type of connection is the bedrock of human interaction in all cultures—and how this understanding can help us navigate our rapidly changing world.

    Previous books about family are self-help books designed to start, build, or repair broken families. Family: How the Human Need for Belonging Shapes Our Lives is something different. Why do we form families? Why do people place such importance on their family relationships? And what is the reality of family life—does it live up to our expectations? What do families provide for each of us at all the stages of our lives?

    Small takes the reader on a journey from the evolutionary roots and fossil evidence of family three million years ago to its present-day varied expression. Across the globe, various forms of marriage, parenting, and types of family differ from the Western template of a family of Mom+Dad+kids. People have always adapted the notion of family to their own worldview, religious beliefs, and economic necessities.

    In a narrative that is both sweeping and intimate in scale, we see how family is not a fixed notion, but something has evolved with us as a species, from our days as hunter-gatherers to the establishment of agriculture, and later, cities. Family is as varied as the human experience itself. Illuminating and thought-provoking, Family shows how our innately human need for belonging can be drawn upon to navigate the uncertainties of today's world.]]>         13 02 Meredith F.

    Tampa Bay, Florida, 1992. Javier—a Spanish-speaking street-smart cop who had grown up in the South Bronx—is a decorated cop who produces results. Recently awarded Officer of the Year, he is married to a beautiful and brilliant attorney, Elizabeth. Javier knows exactly what he’s getting into when he goes undercover in Operation PROMO, infiltrating a savage Colombian drug cartel. He lives on the edge every day, with shotguns pressed against his forehead, threats of torture, and constant fear of being discovered and disappeared.

    Things are not as they appear in the wilderness of mirrors that is the reality of an undercover narc. Javier becomes mired in a living web of lies, deceit and betrayal, where surviving the day is a victory. As the strain increases, the cracks begin to appear yet Javier's calls for help are dismissed. The black-and-white lines that governed his life and made him a coveted undercover cop blur. Javier begins to sympathize with the people he is supposed to be targeting.

    While straddling the fence between good and evil, Javier makes a decision that will haunt him forever . . .

    Riptide is a raw, unflinchingly honest, and action-packed page-turner. Filled with drug cartels, undercover police work, heroism, death, romance, and the ultimate betrayal, Riptide begs the reader to answer the question: Does Javier Guzman deserve redemption?]]>         13 02 Javier Guzman began writing his memoir while in Federal Prison.

    “Dr. Joseph Webb combines his years of experience with his scholarly viewpoint to offer up an insightful solution to challenges faced in the US health system. In The Remedy, Dr. Webb presents strategies proven successful in his decades of experience. This is a must-read for any student of healthcare management and leadership!”

    “In The Remedy, Dr. Joseph Webb delivers a compelling demonstration of his strengths as a visionary, strategist, and operational leader. This timely and insightful work offers a clear framework for addressing and navigating the complex challenges of the US healthcare delivery system, especially those related to achieving equitable care for underserved populations. It should be considered essential reading for stakeholders across every sector of the US economy.”

    “The Remedy delivers a bold, honest look at what is truly possible for America’s healthcare system. Drawing on over four decades of leadership, Dr. Joseph Webb exposes the realities facing underserved and marginalized communities while offering a clear, actionable path forward through his Webb Health Equity & Sustainability Model.

    With powerful storytelling and real-world solutions—from his early leadership journey to his tenure as CEO of a major medical center—Dr. Webb reveals how our system works today and how it can be transformed. The Remedy is an essential read for healthcare professionals, students, and anyone seeking meaningful change in a system long in need of it.”
    — Jeshahnton V. Essex, FACHE

    “The Remedy by Dr. Joseph Webb truly captures what it means to rethink how we approach health and wellness in the US. His vision of a movement to heal America’s healthcare is both practical and inspiring, reminding us that lasting change starts with everyday choices. What stood out most for me was how honestly Dr. Webb addresses the reality that unhealthy habits can quietly become generational.

    This book also reinforces something I deeply believe: quality care should never depend on where someone lives, their income, race, or gender. Dr. Webb offers a thoughtful and pragmatic path forward that benefits patients, providers, and entire communities. It’s easy to see why Dr. Bruce Siegel commented that Dr. Webb has ‘cracked the code’ for healthcare delivery.

    I consider The Remedy to be a must-read for consumers and supporters of healthcare in the US!”
    — Annette Bridges, EdD
    Former Superintendent, Harvey Public Schools, Harvey, IL

    “The Remedy by Dr. Joseph Webb is a rare healthcare book that feels immediate and relevant. Rather than relying on dry policy analysis or abstract theory, Dr. Webb immerses readers in the complex, deeply human realities of American healthcare. His book is written with clarity, urgency, and the insight of a leader who has spent decades inside the system. His message is direct and compelling: ‘we can fix this, but only if we stop pretending the system isn’t working exactly as designed.’”
    — Jonathan E. Watkins, MPA, FACHE
    President/CEO, City of Hope Atlanta

    “As someone who worked directly with Dr. Webb, I noticed that, in my twenty years in the healthcare industry, he was the only hospital CEO with a Doctorate in Healthcare Management who used evidence-based population health models to lead his hospital. In The Remedy, he uses his distinctive style to provide a historical context for how we came to inherit today’s fragmented healthcare landscape. He then provides us with the moral compass we need to move forward equitably. He also weaves in his personal experience and offers a model to help us get on the path to quality and sustainability. The Remedy is a great read and valuable resource for healthcare leaders, community leaders, faith leaders, and policymakers.”

    “As an electrical engineer by trade and an ordained minister by calling, this book was penned for anyone to understand, even those outside the medical field. Each congressperson, senator, and public servant needs to read this book to further define their role in this work. I gained new information and insight to better my understanding. Dr. Webb has offered the solution to our healthcare problems in the United States.”

    “Dr. Joseph Webb embodies a rare combination of qualities that I know firsthand from being his college roommate and basketball teammate at Tennessee State University. Joe brings a fierce competitive spirit, a relentless drive to win, and a people-centered leadership style grounded in excellence and accountability. His disciplined approach to personal and organizational success enables him to develop, articulate, and execute a proven strategy for repairing America’s broken healthcare system.

    This engaging, common-sense work strikes a powerful balance between exposing systemic failures in healthcare and presenting clear statistical evidence, scientific tools, and a practical, results-driven model—one that prioritizes the health of every human being in America, regardless of income.”
    — Kevin Cooper
    Executive Chairman, InfraPros, LLC

    “The Remedy is just that. A powerful remedy for our broken healthcare system.

    Dr. Joe Webb hits it out of the park in a nonpartisan way. ‘There is enough blame to go around,’ he observes. He offers a remedy for taking the US healthcare system where it is right now and weaving evidence-based innovations into its structure and processes that strengthen not only the 400+ safety-net hospitals across the country, but all providers who face the challenge of caring for uninsured, underinsured, and marginalized populations.

    The result will be new accountability among leaders at every level. Dr. Webb demonstrates that this works with his forty years of leading successful efforts to rescue distressed hospitals, and with these tools, he has been batting a thousand. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Webb for raising his voice at this time, showing us how all of our noble goals and aspirations can come true, even in the politically divided cultures that haunt solving these problems: a remedy for what ails all of us.”

    "Wow! I just love those maps that you guys send to me." It is a phrase the staff of the American Battlefield Trust hears every week, referring to one of the organization's cornerstone initiatives: mapping the battlefields of the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the American Civil War.

    The American Battlefield Trust is the premier battlefield preservation organization in the United States. Over the last forty years, the American Battlefield Trust and its members have preserved nearly 65,000 acres of battlefield land across more than 160 battlefields, in 25 states — at sites such as Lexington & Concord, Brandywine, Yorktown, Shiloh, and Gettysburg. Other than physically walking the battlefields that the American Battlefield Trust has saved, the best way to illustrate the importance of the properties we have preserved is through our battle maps.

    Through the decades, the American Battlefield Trust has created hundreds of maps detailing the actions at major battles. Now, in time for America's 250th birthday, we have collected the maps of some of the most iconic battles of the Revolutionary War. In this Revised and Expanded Vol. 3 of our Battle Maps of the American Battlefield Trust series, you can follow the course of the war from Lexington & Concord to the British surrender at Yorktown. Study the major actions of the Revolutionary War from start to finish, utilizing this unparalleled collection of maps.

    Introduction



    While the topic of pelvic health and the research to support it is rapidly evolving, the current awareness (or lack thereof) is limited in scope and reactive in nature. Too often—and in many cases unknowingly—pelvic floor dysfunction in athletes is dismissed as an inevitable byproduct of high-level training or reduced to isolated symptoms as opposed to being understood as a dynamic system that directly influences performance, recovery, and long-term well-being. Traditional assessment pathways tend to overlook the unique biomechanical demands placed on athletic bodies and the associated nuance the pelvic structures respond to load, stress, and adaptation. Athletes train tirelessly to optimize their strength, speed, endurance, and skill. They fine-tune nutrition, optimize recovery, and push limits. Yet, this system remains chronically overlooked despite its central role in both the body and in sport.

    A responsive and adaptive pelvic floor is not optional for athletes. It is a critical part of the kinetic chain that determines not only how efficiently force moves through the body, but also how the body is protected against injury. For too long, pelvic health has been relegated to postpartum women or clinical settings when it is inherently fundamental to sport well before the point of symptoms. The goal of this book is to change the narrative. It’s time to call the pelvic floor muscles off the sidelines and into the starting lineup of training and performance. We’ll explore how the pelvic floor functions in movement, breath, and sport. We’ll discuss the reality of pelvic health challenges that athletes contend with and the research that illuminates their lived experiences. We’ll review solutions—from training strategies and rehabilitation to prevention, performance optimization, and a shift in mindset from bounce back to come back.

    I’d like to pull up to add a quick note regarding the fact that this book is written for athletes. If your immediate reaction is “I’m not an athlete,” or “I work full-time,” or “I don’t look like an athlete,” or “I don’t lift heavy enough or run fast enough for this to apply to me,” I want you to reconsider. Dr. Stacy Sims identifies anyone who is “exercising on purpose” as an athlete. So I’m thinking it’s safe to say, You are, in fact, an athlete. While I have worked with a fair number of professional and college athletes in my career, I remain equally as impressed by the recreational athletes who work hard to stay active despite the demands of life when sport is not their career. Once I have convinced my clients that they are athletes, it allows them to be more intentional, more understanding, and more focused on the work we do together, which makes my job easy. I often joke that I boss people around for a living as the reality is I cannot do the work for you. The approach I will share with you depends on your understanding, compliance, and discipline. It’s up to me and/or the providers on your team to explain the how and why in a way that prompts you to want better for both your present and future selves. When you consider yourself an athlete, you will be more successful at implementing the approach.

    If you are reading this book either for your own development or to triage a problem, understand that as with anything, finding a provider who shares your goals and can help you progress is critical. Nothing in this book is medical advice – it is educational material to help you better understand your body and the way it reaches for the goals you put in front of it. You lead the draft of your healthcare team. While the pelvic health realm is vastly underserved, I hope this book gives you a foundational knowledge to address the stigma, better understand your experience, and challenge the narrative that we must accept the aches and pains of an athletic lifestyle. I worked hard to write this book in a way that made sense both to the athlete and to the coaching or treating professional, but if you come across a concept that doesn’t click for you or terminology that feels confusing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to someone you trust—and that can include me. Every athlete—regardless of level, age, gender, or sport of choice—deserves providers and coaches who understand this muscle group.

    For any professionals who might be along for the ride, coaches or fellow practitioners, you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t want better for your athletes and clients. I hope that you will have the power to empower and equip the population you work with by the end of this book. Elite athletes will have different training demands and volumes that can and should be taken into consideration with the techniques presented in this book, just as you would do with programming for any other muscle group. My goal here is not to relay strength and conditioning or rehab principles, but instead to teach you about the role of these muscles in a way that allows you to implement the principles you already know and use for the rest of the body.

    Finally, I want to acknowledge and appreciate the fact that you care enough about yourself or the clients you’re working with to read this book. That’s an incredible indicator of how much you honor the work you do and the level at which you expect yourself to perform. Pelvic health is an easy topic to brush off and assume that the responsibility belongs elsewhere or that it isn’t actually affecting you. It’s easier to ignore or delay work for muscles you can’t see. It’s less daunting to assume you’ve reached your peak than to question if there are bigger goals just waiting to be pursued. You’re choosing to pull this topic into the light, challenge the status quo, and do better, both for our own health and performance and for that of generations to come. Thank you for being here.

    In Luisa of the Sea, children rally alongside an art restorer to gather the broken fragments of the mural that once watched over their town. Together they learn the delicate craft of piecing something precious back together—brick by brick, brushstroke by brushstroke—and discover that healing what’s broken can make a community stronger than before.

    Blending masterful storytelling with art history, Luisa of the Sea introduces young readers to mermaid mythology, ancient fresco traditions, and the real-life heroes who restore and protect art.

Barker's wildly popular 4MK series...

    Before he was known as the Four Monkey Killer, he was just a boy trying to survive.

    Charleston, 1999. Fifteen-year-old Anson Bishop didn't mean to kill—not the first time, anyway. Raised by parents who taught him that murder was simply survival, Anson thought he'd escaped his dark past when his home burned and his mother vanished with stolen mob money.

    He was wrong.

    Someone is hunting Charleston's forgotten children—the runaways, the addicts, the ones no one will miss. When the few people Anson has come to care about vanish into the night, he discovers a truth more horrifying than anything his parents taught him: there are monsters in the world far worse than the one he sees in the mirror.

    Behind a door the color of spilled blood waits a killer who has perfected his craft over two decades. To save his friends, Anson must walk through that scarlet door and face a monster. But in doing so, he may become something more dangerous than what awaits him on the other side.

    Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
