Psychological Essays
Alfred Richard Orage (1873-1934) was born in Dacre, West Riding, Yorkshire, and was a schoolteacher in Leeds for twelve years, during which time he helped found the Leeds Arts Club. He moved to London in 1906, where he worked as editor of The New Age: A Weekly Review of Politics, Literature and Art, to which many well-known writers and intellectuals contributed. He was involved in socialism for a time, and was a supporter of the social credit system of C.H. Douglas. During the years 1922 to 1930, Orage worked with G.I. Gurdjieff in France and the United States, after which he returned to England, where he became editor of The New English Weekly. He died suddenly during the early morning of 6th November, 1934, having given a radio talk for the B.B.C. on Social Credit the evening before, apparently in good health.Orage wrote wrote fifteen short Psychological Essays in the 1920s. They encompass such subjects as thought power and mental development, dealing with dark moods, the relationship between thought, feeling and body, the importance of active curiosity, observation, and so on. Although these can be read as stand-alone essays, they are very much connected with each other in the sequence given, and in their totality give a kind of recipe for living life to the full.

The Queen Who Walked Away: A Tudor Tale Of Anne Of Cleves (Women Of The Tudor Court Book 3)
She crossed the sea to become Henry VIII’s queen. Instead, she became something far more dangerous: a woman who refused to die for a king.
When Anne of Cleves arrives in England to marry the notorious Henry VIII, she expects duty, obedience, and a crown. What she does not expect is the king’s immediate revulsion toward her – or the deadly atmosphere of the Tudor court, where queens who fail are discarded, disgraced, or destroyed.
Surrounded by whispers of execution and haunted by the fates of the women who came before her, Anne quickly understands the peril she faces. To fight for the crown is to risk her life. To surrender it may cost her everything she was raised to believe she must be.
In a court where survival is never accidental, Anne of Cleves makes an unthinkable choice: she agrees to her own annulment. But this is not defeat. It is strategy. By becoming the king’s “beloved sister,” Anne secures wealth, independence, and the one thing no other wife of Henry VIII achieved – her freedom.
From the treacherous splendor of the Tudor court to the quiet power of a life reclaimed, this intimate historical novel restores the voice of a woman history dismissed as merely “lucky.” Anne of Cleves was not lucky. She was brilliant. And she won by knowing when to walk away.
Perfect for readers who love Tudor historical fiction, strong heroines, and clean, character-driven stories about women who survived history on their own terms. Meant to be a short escape, this book is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.

The Case of the Shipwreck Locket: The Parker Sisters & the Talking Bunny
The Case of the Shipwreck LocketWhen a mysterious fire threatens to destroy The Curious Cove antique shop, Lily discovers that some secrets are worth killing for—even after 170 years.
Three days after an electrical fire nearly destroys her beloved antique shop, Lily finds a tarnished locket hidden among the salvaged jewelry. The moment her fingers close around it, Sir Nibbles—her psychic rabbit companion—erupts into terrified warnings about death, drowning, and souls trapped beneath the waves.
The locket bears intricate engravings of sailing ships and carries the weight of maritime legend. According to local historian Harold Fairfield, this is the Beatrice’s Heart, supposedly lost when Captain Penistone’s ship went down in 1847, taking his bride and all hands with it. But if the locket went down with the ship, how did it survive in Lily’s shop?
When Harold reveals that the fire was deliberately set, the sisters realize someone was willing to commit arson to find this particular piece of jewelry. Their investigation uncovers a conspiracy involving insurance fraud, murder, and some of Seafern Cove’s most prominent founding families—secrets that powerful people will kill to protect.
With the help of Rose’s practical wisdom, Harold’s academic expertise, and Sir Nibbles’s supernatural insights, Lily must decode the locket’s true significance before the mysterious arsonist strikes again. But when they finally open the antique clasp, they discover evidence of crimes that stretch back centuries and threaten to topple the carefully constructed reputations of half the town.
In Seafern Cove, the past never stays buried for long—and some treasures are worth more than their weight in gold, secrets, and blood.

Murder Bimbo: A gloriously deranged, stylish, debut literary thriller: ‘Flays the political moment’ Torrey Peters
‘Flays the political moment. At all levels, it is a blast’ Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby‘Brimming with acidic humour . . . perfect for fans of A Certain Hunger and Boy Parts. Murder Bimbo is surely going to be the book everyone is talking about in 2026’ Jessie Elland, The Ladie Upstairs
I’m a 32-year-old sex worker who just killed a politician. Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero . . .
A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life.
Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily-typed series of emails, the newly-minted “Murder Bimbo” explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck.
But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be.
In a time where ‘truth’ is more flexible than ever before – who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next?
Introducing an unforgettable character for our times: hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical – this is . . . MURDER BIMBO.

Death in a Green Room: A 1920s Murder Mystery (The Maeve Morgan Historical Cozy Mystery Series Book 10)
Bad acting is forgivable. Murder is not!Strathfulton Castle is many things—ancient, imposing, and never dull for long—but when a troupe of temperamental London actors descends upon the estate, even Maeve Morgan isn’t prepared for the drama that follows.
What begins as a harmless rehearsal for a touring production quickly spirals into real-life tragedy when a celebrated actress collapses in the castle’s green room. At first, it looks like theatrical excess gone too far. But Maeve, former police officer turned reluctant countess, knows the difference between make-believe murder and the real thing, and this is most definitely the latter.
With the police frustratingly absent, Maeve finds herself navigating a castle full of oversized egos, secret grudges, and actors who all seem to be performing even when the curtain is down. As tensions rise and another death shocks the household, it becomes chillingly clear that someone is rewriting the script—and they’re not done yet.
Surrounded by poison pens, prop daggers, and a company where everyone has a motive and no one is entirely trustworthy, Maeve must uncover the truth before the final act claims yet another victim.
Witty, atmospheric, and delightfully twisty, Death in a Green Room is a classic British cozy mystery packed with sharp dialogue, theatrical intrigue, and a heroine who proves that murder is far harder to conceal than bad acting.

Preorder the BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud, feel-good read for ladies of a certain age! 👓 📚🍷
‘Uplifting, funny, poignant, resonant, this is a pacy tale of friendship, frolics and solidarity.’ Judy Leigh
Welcome to the Widows’ Book Club, where the wine flows freely and the gossip is irresistible…
Janet, Viv and Zelda’s monthly meet-ups have been a safe haven over the past few years: a chance to share life’s ups and downs and laugh their way through widowhood with a glass of wine in hand. But when Janet’s old flame Lewis walks back into her life – still charming, still handsome, and still very much married to his formidable wife Christobel – the widows find themselves caught up in unexpected drama.
Keen to show they are as cultured as Lewis and Christobel’s other friends, Janet fibs that the widows have a book club. So they set one up. But when Christobel demands she join and then promptly starts to take over, real life becomes much messier (and more exciting) than fiction…
What will this next chapter bring for them all?

Trust No One: A Thriller – A Treacherous Hunt Across Europe to Unlock the Secret to Immortality
From the #1 New York Times bestselling master of international intrigue comes a shocking new stand-alone thriller that thrusts a group of university students, falsely accused of murder, into a treacherous hunt across Europe, all to unlock the secrets buried within a centuries-old book that could change humankind forever.
Knowledge can be magic—until it falls into the wrong hands.
The ritualistic murder of a British professor at the University of Exeter points to a startling cast of suspects: his own students. All are enrolled in a postgraduate program covering the history of witchcraft, folklore, and spiritualism.
All evidence points to Sharyn Karr—an American student. Prior to the professor’s death, he had thrust a centuries-old book upon her. It appears to be the handwritten and encrypted diary of an eighteenth-century mystic and occultist, the Comte de Saint-Germain. The professor begged her to keep the text safe, ending with a warning: Trust no one.
Such a responsibility forces her into cooperation with Duncan Maxwell, a fellow postgrad and the sixteenth in line to the British Crown. Already, Duncan has proven himself a savant with encryptions. Unfortunately, the pair clash at every level, but they both need one another. Especially when they discover the book’s opening words: Herein lies the secret to my immortality. Come find me, if you dare.
As dark forces close upon the pair, she and her friends are forced to flee, pursued by law enforcement and hunted by a powerful cabal. In an explosive chase across Europe—from the Tower of London to Parisian chateaus to a fortress in the Italian Alps—Sharyn must learn the true secret hidden in Saint-Germain’s text. It will send her and the others across history and deep into the heart of one of the world’s greatest mysteries, a secret buried at the roots of Western Civilization, a discovery that could topple empires and change humanity forever.
For what lies at the end of Saint-Germain’s diary is as shocking as its opening words.

The Dirty Swallow: An Extreme Horror Novella
Eleven years ago, an inbred, cannibalistic family lived in the tiny hamlet of Hanow in West Cornwall, consisting of three tumbledown cottages and a pub. Nestled in the sprawling wild countryside before the cliff edge, miles away from the nearest village or town, the family dwelled in squalor, their properties in Hanow passed down from generation to generation.
The pub hadn’t been a pub for many years. Not officially, anyway. A cousin of the family who owned a B and B in the neighbouring town of Penzance occasionally sent tourists their way, especially if they were young and pretty. Those that tackled the fifteen-mile hike along the cliff path to Hanow were rewarded with a pub lunch and a pint.
Most of them ended up as the pub lunch.
But, that is all in the past. Hanow has since undergone a makeover, courtesy of ambitious couple Brian and Jenny Cartwright, the new landlord and landlady of the infamous pub, The Dirty Swallow. They have bought the entire hamlet and have big business plans.
Three old school friends are doing the fifteen-mile hike from Penzance to Hanow.
A father and his estranged teenaged daughter are also making the pilgrimage for a ploughman’s and a pint.
These five innocents are about to stumble straight into Hell.Although The Dirty Swallow could be labelled a sequel to Suffer Hard, in that the events in this novella take place eleven years after those in Suffer Hard, it can absolutely be read as a standalone story.
