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.

Intriguing, compelling, beguiling – I was completely at the mercy of our slippery heroine, and loved every minute of it. Gloriously, riotously unhinged’ Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body
‘What a ride! A self-mythologizing, feminist heroine for our awful age, a political assassination, and lesbian longing – I did not want this bloody clever and acerbic novel to end’ Charlotte Vassell, author of The Other Half

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.

Read Between the Lies: A Novel
“Read Between the Lies is a dark, delicious takedown of cancel culture and the publishing industry—I read it in two sittings because I had to stop midway and go google my own name. Highly recommend.” —Mindy Kaling
In this claustrophobic psychological suspense from USA Today bestselling author Jesse Q. Sutanto, the line between victim and villain blurs with every chapter. Because in the end, everyone has their own version of the truth—but only one will make it onto the page.
Fern’s dream of becoming a published author is finally coming true. After years of rejection, her debut novel has sold, and she’s ready to join the supportive online community of fellow debuts. But when she discovers her high school bully, Haven, has landed a major book deal and will be debuting alongside her, old wounds reopen.
As the pandemic forces everyone online, tensions escalate in their writing community. While Haven seems to succeed effortlessly, Fern watches her own career crumble. Yet beneath their polished personas lies a darker truth about their shared past—one involving a lost friend, Dani, and secrets neither wants revealed.
Fern isn’t the same person Haven bullied all those years ago. She’s learned that the best revenge stories aren’t written—they’re lived. And she’s been plotting this one for years.
What begins as online rivalry escalates into dangerous obsession. Because neither woman is telling the whole truth about what really happened to Dani…or about who’s the real victim in this story.

Which is how I end up in his kitchen, holding a bottle while trying not to stare at the way his T-shirt clings to all those muscles. I’m supposed to be the temporary nanny – just until he figures things out. He gets childcare. I get a roof over my head (and my dog gets a yard).
Easy.
Except Zane is a hot single dad with a bad boy past, a wicked smile, and a knack for making my heart race faster than his motorcycle. He smells like leather and trouble, grins like he knows exactly what I’m thinking, and somehow manages to look even better while rocking a baby at three a.m.

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.

The Nest: Los AngelesThey thrived beneath New York. They devoured London. Now… they come for Los Angeles.
Deep beneath the sprawling streets of LA, in forgotten storm drains and abandoned subway tunnels, something ancient and monstrous is breeding. The homeless are disappearing without a trace, dragged screaming into the dark by huge, carnivorous nutria rats that have evolved into a perfect killing swarm.
At first, the authorities dismiss the reports, but they realise it’s happening again. It’s the nightmares from New York and London on their doorstep. Body parts begin surfacing in flood channels. CCTV captures shadows moving too fast to be real. Until the first attack happens above ground… in broad daylight.
As the nest swells into the millions, the city becomes a feeding ground.
Hospitals, malls, underground car parks, movie theatres, nowhere is safe. The rats are no longer hiding. They are hunting.
With Los Angeles teetering on the brink of collapse, a small, desperate task force races to uncover the nest behind the infestation. But the deeper they dig, the more horrific the answers become. The Covenant of the Nest are back and it’s a disaster.
This is weaponised evolution.
Relentless, brutal, and terrifyingly fast-paced, The Nest: Los Angeles plunges readers into a nightmare where survival is measured in seconds, and the darkness beneath the city is alive with teeth.
Millions of rats. One city. No escape.
Perfect for fans of James Herbert, Stephen King, and apocalyptic creature horror.

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.

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.

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.
