My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein: A Fiction
‘In one short and sly book after another, [Levy] writes about characters navigating swerves of history and sexuality, and the social and personal rootlessness that accompanies both’ Atlantic
Who was Gertrude Stein?
Avant-garde American poet and art collector who made her home in Paris, godmother of modernism, queer icon, friend to Picasso and Hemingway, self-declared genius ― a writer who has baffled readers and critics for a century.
And why does she matter?
The narrator of Deborah Levy’s latest, dazzling fiction has gone to Paris to find out. There she meets Eva with the blinding gaze, an artist in a long-distance marriage, and Fanny, a sexually adventurous financier; together they cook, walk, read and argue late into the nights.
As Paris sweeps her along in its ceaseless flow, she thinks – about what we have to lose to become modern, navigating anxiety, living with uncertainty, angry fathers, making a new life in another country, art and language – how all these things looked to Gertrude Stein in the early days of the twentieth century, and how they look to her and her friends in the early twenty-first.
This is a book about how we put ourselves together― an exhilarating, witty, cosmopolitan meditation on the pleasures and challenges of friendship, desire and living with other people. But it is also crashes through genre to create an inspired portrait of Stein herself: a writer who experimented fearlessly with a new way of living and who wrestled herself free from the nineteenth century to invent a brand-new way of looking at the world.

Tears from the Mother of the Sun: A Secret History of the World
Esoteric legends that track history across multiple continents and planes of existence• Synthesizes ancient mythologies across time, space, and cultures to resacralize the human experience
• Written as a novella interspersed with metered quatrains in the tradition of medieval Persian belles-lettres
• Includes full-color paintings of key figures and motifs, including Sita, Yggdrasil, the Minotaur, Quetzalcoatl, and the Three Marys
In this globe-spanning chronicle, Pir Zia Inayat Khan, leader of the Inayatiyya, sets forth an astonishing sequence of legends revealing little-known connections between ancient cultures and spiritual lineages.
Framed as a dialogue between the Iranianepic poet Firdausi and his tutelary daimon, this novella follows the tradition of medieval Persian belles-lettres in which prose passages are punctuated with metered verses. The daimon reveals to the hitherto depressed poet the inner history of the world as reflected in the missions of a succession of sages moving through Earth’s lands and ages. Readers will learn of the creation of the universe, the war of the angels and the jinns, the exile of Adam and Eve, and the deeds of Melchizedek and Enoch. They will also explore the rise of the Nephilim, the advent of ancient civilizations, the origins of the Abrahamic faiths, and the history of the Grail and Emerald Tablet. Beautiful paintings by Amruta Patil bring the legends to life.
The cumulative effect of the traditions synthesized here is a resacralization of the human experience across time, space, and cultures, achieved through an unexpected marriage of myth and history.

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 Nest Los Angeles: America’s Reinfestation… (The Nest Series Book 3)
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.

British Gardens (BBC Books)
What do our gardens say about us?
Monty Don has spent many years travelling the world, from America to Japan, from Italy and the Adriatic to Spain and the Mediterranean, getting under the skin of a country through its gardens and gardening traditions. In British Gardens, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation.
Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbria’s Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter’s Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britain’s first garden gnome, Monty’s account brings in an astonishing range of British experience.
Accompanied by a landmark five-part series on BBC2, and illustrated by stunning photography from Monty’s long-time collaborator Derry Moore, British Gardens is a definitive, and uniquely British, account of a nation like no other.

Trafalgar: Nelson’s Great Victory (The Age of Sail)
A gripping account of one of history’s most famous naval battles: Trafalgar.But why was the battle so important? How did Napoleon’s navy come to threaten English shores? And what truly unfolded during those brutal hours on 21 October 1805?
In this authoritative and engrossing narrative, Donald Macintyre charts the dramatic prelude to Trafalgar — from Horatio Nelson’s rise to fame at the battles of the Nile and Copenhagen, to Pierre-Charles Villeneuve’s bold attempt to unite French naval forces in the Caribbean before slipping past the British blockade to challenge their command of the seas.
The mounting tension is brilliantly captured as Nelson pursues Villeneuve across the Atlantic, leading to a fateful clash off the coast of Spain. Though the outcome is known to history, the battle’s gripping details — the daring manoeuvres, the desperate fighting, and the heroism of individual ships and captains — are vividly brought to life, revealing both the triumph and the tragedy of Britain’s most celebrated naval victory.
Trafalgar is essential reading for anyone fascinated by this legendary conflict of the Age of Sail.

FLICK: A history of female pleasure (Audio Download): Kate Lister, Transworld Digital: Amazon.co.uk: Audible Books & Originals
Brought to you by Penguin.
We like to think of the modern ‘sex positive’ movement as being a radical break from the past; that we are finally sorting out the repression and denial of women’s sexual pleasure that has restricted us throughout history. But women demanding better sex did not arrive with modern day feminism or the Rampant Rabbit. It has been a very long fight indeed.
It is true that women’s sexual pleasure has been heavily repressed, stigmatised, and even denied at various points throughout history, but it has also been celebrated, venerated, and thoroughly, THOROUGHLY, enjoyed. Women have been fighting for their right to enjoy sex all along and theirs is a story that needs to be told.
From the Aztec sex goddesses to ivory marital aids, Flick takes us through history to meet the matriarchal minxes who (quite literally) came before us.

Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage
‘A beautifully written eulogy for the loss of a relationship’ Joyce Carol Oates
‘Strangers reads with all the momentum and colour of water-tight literary fiction’ British Vogue
How do we go on when a loved one betrays us?
On a chilly day in March of 2020, in the early days of the pandemic, Belle Burden’s husband of twenty years announced, with no prior warning, that he was leaving her. His decision shocked Belle to her core: she believed he was a happy man, a committed partner, and a devoted father to their three children. She thought he was a man who had settled into the life he had always wanted: a successful career, summers spent at their beloved home on Martha’s Vineyard, lots of tennis. Overnight, he transformed from her steady companion into a stranger.
As she pieces her life together in the wake of a loss she had never imagined coming, she finds she is much stronger than she ever expected. Exploring the transformation of a shy, quiet girl, nicknamed ‘Belle the Good’ to a powerful, brave, determined woman who has learned to use her voice to expose the patriarchal structures that have forced women to be discreet and compliant for far too long, Strangers is a must-read memoir of self-discovery.

The Broken Signal: A fake dating hockey romance (Pine Barren University Book 6)
A steamy new college hockey romance featuring a shy gentle giant, a fierce punk rock goddess, and a fake relationship that forces them both to face everything they’ve been hiding.
HIS WEAKNESS
Ben Kellerman is the PBU Devils’ gentle giant—a formidable defenseman on the ice who becomes a stammering disaster the moment a pretty girl looks his way. Past humiliations taught him his “jock” self is a coward and his “nerd” self is pathetic. He’s convinced he’ll never be enough for anyone.
So when a gorgeous punk singer propositions him in a bar, his first instinct is to run. His second is to wonder if this is the universe finally throwing him a lifeline.
HER ARMOR
Cassidy “Cass” Vance is the snarling frontwoman of campus punk band Pinebox—all ripped fishnets, combat boots, and weaponized attitude. But her fierce persona is armor against a world that taught her men only want the fantasy, never the real woman underneath.
Now, with aggressive fans crossing lines, she needs a human shield. Someone big enough to intimidate, sweet enough to control, and clueless enough to never see through her walls.
Ben Kellerman fits the bill perfectly. Or so she thinks.
THEIR UNSCRIPTED CHEMISTRY
The rules are simple: he plays the protective boyfriend, she fakes being his girlfriend to get the hockey guys off his back, and absolutely nobody catches feelings. But between stolen glances at dive bar gigs and unexpectedly tender moments, their fake relationship starts writing its own script.
The guy who fixes broken things is falling for the girl convinced she’s beyond repair. And the woman who always strikes first is terrified of what happens when she finally lets someone stay.
Key details:
- Fake dating (what could possibly go wrong?)
- She falls first (but he falls harder)
- Opposites attract (the stammering sweetheart and the punk rock queen)
- Touch her and die (he’s shy until someone threatens his girl)
- Sixth in series (but read as standalone!)
- Steamy ‘open door’ spice level
- Happily-ever-after and no cliffhangers.

Three-time Brit Award winners and six-time Grammy nominees, they have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, including No. 1 hits such as ‘West End girls’, ‘It’s a sin’, and ‘Always on my mind’, and platinum-selling albums Please, Actually, and Very.
Uniquely spanning the worlds of music, art, film, theatre, design, and fashion, Pet Shop Boys have forged an identity as unforgettable as their sound. From the seminal graphic design of their record sleeves to their groundbreaking videos and innovative stage shows, they have set the bar for the visual presentation of pop.
Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the release of their first album in 1986, Pet Shop Boys Volume is the definitive retrospective of the duo’s career. Expanding upon Pet Shop Boys Catalogue, published two decades ago, it presents their entire visual output to date, year by year. Sleeve artworks and packaging, stills from every video, film, and performance, stage sets and costume designs, photoshoots, publications, and even Christmas cards all feature, as does every collaboration with luminaries including Mark Farrow, Wolfgang Tillmans, Martin Parr, Bruce Weber, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Derek Jarman, Scott King, Zaha Hadid, Tom Scutt, and Es Devlin.
Concise commentaries by Chris Heath and Philip Hoare provide illuminating insights into the genesis of each project. Hoare’s original introduction is accompanied by a new introduction from Libby Sellers who considers the importance of Pet Shop Boys within the history of design, while a new foreword by Jeremy Deller reflects on the enduring impact of their music and image.
With a jacket designed by Farrow and a new conversation between Heath, Tennant, and Lowe, Pet Shop Boys Volume is a visual feast and a sumptuous tribute to four decades of creative innovation.

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.

Since You Arrived: a single dad, small town romantic comedy (The Raider Brothers Book 4)
A baby on his doorstep. A couch-surfing woman in need of a place to stay. And one very bad idea…Zane Raider is the last man in Smuggler’s Hideaway anyone would trust with a baby. So, of course, one shows up on his doorstep.
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.
I keep telling myself I’m not falling for the guy who once made “commitment” sound like a prison sentence. But between the midnight feedings, his ridiculous brothers’ pranks, and the way he says our when he talks about the baby… I might be in serious trouble.
This single dad small-town romantic comedy features a man who has no intention of ever marrying – let alone having children – a woman who doesn’t understand the meaning of ‘on time’, a baby who throws chaos into the mix, and a band of prank-happy brothers who treat emotional growth like it’s a full-contact sport.
Since You Arrived is a standalone novel in The Raider Brothers series.
Until it was Real – Rhett and Dakota’s story
For the Promise – Jaxon and Blossom’s story
From the Start – Kai and Harper’s story

THE BLACK WEREWOLF OF DETROIT: An Urban Horror Novel
THE BLACK WEREWOLF OF DETROIT
An Urban Horror Novel
by Allison WoodsBy day, it walks like a man.
By night, it hunts the city.In the alleys behind abandoned buildings, beneath flickering streetlights and the hum of the city, something has been hunting—quietly, patiently, without mercy. People go missing. Sirens come too late. And the city keeps breathing.
Michael comes to Detroit with simple plans: to see his sister, to find work, to start over. He expects a hard city, not a hostile one. He doesn’t expect the fear that seems to cling to certain streets—or the stories no one tells out loud.
Michael never believed in monsters.
Not until one of them looked back at him.As brutal killings begin to surface and Detroit’s streets close in, the line between man and predator starts to blur. The city feels alive, watching, waiting—and the moon is watching him now.
Some horrors aren’t born in the dark.
They’re made there.
And survival demands a price.Gritty, brutal, and unflinchingly atmospheric, THE BLACK WEREWOLF OF DETROIT reimagines werewolf horror for the modern city—where monsters don’t lurk in forests, but in forgotten corners of concrete and steel.
This is not a story about heroes.
This is a story about what the city turns you into.Perfect for fans of:
- Urban horror with a dark psychological edge
- Werewolf stories grounded in realism
- Gritty, atmospheric novels where the city is a character
- Readers who enjoy horror that lingers long after the final page
When darkness falls, Detroit doesn’t sleep.
The hunt begins.Read more

The Next World War: The new age of global conflict and the fight to stop it
“Incredibly well sourced… One of the most plugged-in voices in modern warfare” – THE TELEGRAPH
“Reads like a real-life geopolitical thriller … The fact it doesn’t feel like scaremongering says a lot about the state of the world” – Jonn Elledge, author of A History of the World in 47 Borders
The Next World War takes readers behind the scenes of the most dangerous era of international tensions since the end of the Cold War, as countries and military forces prepare for potential large-scale combat on a scale unseen since 1945.
From the corridors of power in Washington, Whitehall, Moscow and Beijing to the new frontlines of conflict in Ukraine, Taiwan, cyberspace and even the far side of the moon, Peter Apps unflinchingly explores the fault lines where global peace is already starting to unravel.
Featuring the voices of the commanders, diplomats and technologists already shaping history, as well as the nervous conscripts and ordinary people directly caught up in events, The Next World War examines the real-world effects of this new era of global confrontation. For some – including millions of citizens told to stockpile food and water and prepare for potential mass disruption – it still may not feel entirely real. But for Russia, China and their growing ‘axis of upheaval’, today’s conflicts represent a growing opportunity to reshape the world as they would like it – leading to potential disaster for the West if it cannot heed the warnings in time.
From the return of Cold War-style atomic threats to new forms of sabotage and ‘hybrid warfare’, the battle for global dominance is already firmly underway. The Next World War is the book you need to understand the growing precariousness of our current situation – and the unending battle to stop it escalating past the point of no return.
“Gripping and important … A warning order for the future” – General Sir Tim Radford KCB DSO OBE
“Sweeping and compelling, with plenty of human stories that really pull you in. A must-read book from the expert I go to when I really want to get a sense of where things might be going” – Anna-Joy Rickard, Great British Foreign Affairs podcast
