‘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.

Alright, where were we? Let’s see… There’s a whole bunch of Scrap Rats. So obviously Ren, the cowardly alchemist, who’s now become Super Ren, caught in this whole progressive fantasy mess of towers and time travel. Mira, a Cryopyre Mage, who runs the Guild—classic LitRPG fire-and-ice power combo. Kanuka, who runs the Patch inside, with the help of Folo. A tinkering genius, who may sometimes put holes in the walls for no reason (because, you know, dystopian future means messy real life). Simms and Davon are also keeping their eye on security. Why? Because… well… those assholes from L7 are still poking around.
Ren, though, has recruited the Church of Purity to help spread the message that Towerbound is not just a game—it’s going to merge. At the end of Book 4, they were discussing the possibility of Ren and the Rats taking over all of District 1, not just the Patch. Oh, and don’t forget Marco! He’s got PopCrates. And now he’s setting up secret bases all around the world, ready for when the Tower actually emerges and this whole dystopian sci-fi nightmare spills over into reality.

The Lakeside Chalet – Complete Series : An uplifting escape filled with second chances, friendship, and finding home
A chalet in bloom. A heart on the mend. And a new beginning she never planned.When London yoga instructor Lucy inherits a grand lakeside chalet in a small Alpine town, she’s certain of one thing: this springtime escape is not the solution to her broken heart. But as wildflowers bloom along the glass-clear lake and the mountains awaken from winter, Lucy begins to feel something she hasn’t felt in a long time — possibility.
Determined to turn the ageing chalet into a boutique yoga retreat, Lucy quickly discovers that life in this beautiful Alpine town — where Europe’s elite hide from the spotlight — isn’t as picture-perfect as it first appears. Clearly, not everyone is pleased to see an outsider claim such a prominent place by the lake.
But as resistance mounts, Lucy also finds a handful of friends who offer humour and support when she needs it most. Slowly, a fragile sense of belonging begins to form, even as old tensions, buried secrets, and one infuriatingly intriguing hotel owner threaten to pull her back into patterns she thought she’d left behind.
As the days grow longer and the chalet fills with life, Lucy must decide whether she’s ready to stop running — and whether this place by the lake could finally feel like home.
Now available in English after becoming a bestseller in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, The Lakeside Chalet box set is a heart-warming women’s fiction escape about healing, belonging, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.
Perfect for readers who love cosy settings, emotional depth, found family, and slow-burn romance.

In Anne’s Shadow: Mary Boleyn’s Tudor Tale of Survival and Love (Women Of The Tudor Court Book 1)
Mary Boleyn has always lived in the shadow of others. First, her ambitious family, then her brilliant, alluring sister Anne. Sent to the French court as a girl, Mary learns early that obedience is expected and silence rewarded. And at Henry VIII’s court, she learns that a woman’s value is measured by what she can give a king.
When Henry VIII turns his attention to Mary, she becomes his mistress, not out of hunger for power, but because refusal is not a language women at court are taught to speak.
Unlike Anne, Mary does not dream of crowns. She dreams of safety. Of love. Of a life not governed by a man’s desire.
After Henry’s interest fades and Anne’s ambition rises, Mary is quietly discarded, left to navigate judgment, loss, and an uncertain future. When she dares to marry for love without permission, she is cast out by her family and erased from history’s grand narrative. Anne becomes Queen of England. Mary becomes no one.
Yet Mary survives.
In Anne’s Shadow is an intimate Tudor novella that reclaims the voice of the forgotten sister – the woman who stepped away from power and discovered the courage to live on her own terms.

The Affinity Collector: A Fantasy Isekai LitRPG Series (Octaeteris Cycle Book 1)
Two deaths, and one life that has an incredible advantage.At only 8 years old, Weldin had just had his dual Affinities bestowed upon him by the Goddess Athera when he ended up in a Nexus Rift far exceeding his Level. To make it worse, the Affinities he ended up with, Light and Energy, weren’t exactly the best when it came to offensive capability, and he struggled to kill any of the higher-Level monsters that stood in between him and his freedom. The lack of a powerful Ability to defend himself, as well as a lack of worldly knowledge, eventually led to his downfall.
But that wasn’t technically the end of Weldin’s existence, as just as his mortal form succumbed to its fatal wounds and his soul slipped away, a soul from another world was slotted into the empty shell to take over his abandoned body. This new soul was from Earth, and with it came a plethora of knowledge that could take advantage of his Affinities, in ways that his current world had never seen before. Even more than possessing otherworldly knowledge, the introduction of a new soul into Weldin’s body had seemed to initiate some other capabilities, such as the unique ability to unlock additional Affinities.
Now, all he has to do is clear a Nexus Rift where everything can easily kill him if he makes a mistake, navigate a world where those in power want to possess him because of his unique Affinities, and somehow survive an Academy full of 8-year-olds who have just learned that they have incredible magical powers – all so he can progress his personal quest to collect all of the Affinities he can.
This story contains LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, as well as isekai/portal fantasy elements. Contains no sexual content or harems.

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…

All Jobs and Classes! I Just Wanted One Skill, Not Them All! (LITRPG/EPIC PROGRESSION): Book II
While barbarians were getting ready to continue the invasion, adults argued and soldiers postured, Ludger with a system in his eyes realized something far more unsettling: if trouble kept coming time and time again, someone would have to meet it head-on.That decision dragged him far from home and straight into the tutelage of a shameless drunkard, an earth mage whose greatest talents were leveling mountains and emptying bottles. Unfortunately for Ludger, the man was also a former guildmaster. Between half-coherent lessons, improvised training, and near-fatal “practical demonstrations, thanks to a troublesome companion” Ludger learned that earth magic wasn’t about raw power, it was about anchoring, endurance, and knowing exactly when to stand firm and when to reshape the ground beneath your enemy’s feet.
As threats escalate and alliances fray, Ludger realizes that reacting isn’t enough. Mercenaries scatter. Lords hesitate. Someone needs to build something that lasts. Something organized. Something strong enough to push back without breaking.
What begins as a reckless attempt to impose order on chaos becomes the birth of a guild forged by necessity rather than ambition. Between northerner incursions, political pressure, and the constant risk of being crushed by forces far larger than himself, Ludger carves out a new role, not as a sheltered prodigy, but as a builder of foundations. Stone by stone, contract by contract, he steps into a future where survival means leadership, and power means responsibility.
Because if the world insists on marching toward war, Ludger refuses to stand still, no matter how scary his mother is when she thinks he’s in danger.

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.
