But when love fades and ambition rises, can a queen fight for her truth and her daughter’s future?Catherine of Aragon survives years of poverty as a forgotten widow before Henry VIII makes her his queen. She stands beside him as wife, partner, and trusted advisor. She gives him loyalty. She gives him devotion. She gives him a daughter, Princess Mary.
But Henry wants a son.
And he desperately wants Anne Boleyn.When the king demands an annulment – claiming their marriage was never valid – Catherine faces an impossible choice: accept a comfortable exile and declare her daughter illegitimate, or fight for the truth no matter the cost.

A mother’s love. A queen’s dignity. A faith that sustains her when everything else is taken.

Unlock Your Power: A seven-step system to break inner limits and rewrite your future in 2026
A practical, powerful guide to break old patterns, rewire your energy, and step into your next-level future ― no hustle required.
Discover the internal patterns that have been quietly running your life and learn how to take control of what comes next.
Do you:
- Say yes when you really mean no?
- Hold back even when you feel ready for more?
- Sense there’s a bigger version of your life waiting, but feel unsure how to reach it?
That’s not you failing and you’re definitely not broken. Those are subconscious patterns doing what they once learned to do: keeping you safe, accepted, and loved. They were helpful once but are limiting now.
These patterns aren’t your intuition. They’re habitual loops that quietly keep you playing small and stuck at the same level. But here’s the good news: once you can spot a pattern, you can change it. And when you change the pattern, you get to choose a new direction.
Spot the pattern. Shift the power.
In Unlock Your Power, Poppy Delbridge shows you how to uncover the patterns shaping your choices and how to consciously step into your next-level future.
Blending neuroscience, energy work and identity transformation, Unlock Your Power offers a clear, seven-step framework to help you break unhelpful habits, rewire emotional responses and start choosing what you actually want, not what you’ve been conditioned to settle for.
As you work through the book, you’ll begin to feel:
- Less overwhelmed
- More space and clarity in your mind
- More confident in your decisions
- Less reactive to stress
- More aligned with who you’re becoming
- More like yourself, only expanded
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about upgrading how you operate. If you’re ready to stop living on autopilot and step into your next level with clarity and confidence, Unlock Your Power gives you both the spark and the structure to make that shift real.
The life you want isn’t waiting for you to earn it. It’s waiting for you to choose it.
Reclaim your energy. Unlock your power.

Top Shelf: A MM Hockey Romance (Storm Warning Book 3)
Anyone can fall in love. Pickle makes it unforgettable.
Thunder Bay’s favorite chaos gremlin, Noah “Pickle” Piatkowski, is no longer the rookie, but he hasn’t lost an ounce of his wild energy. He’s fast, he’s fearless, and he’s still the guy who shows up late to practice because he got his hand stuck in a Pringles can again. Fans adore him. His teammates have stopped asking questions.
When the Storm gathers at The Drop to watch Hog’s partner, Rhett, land a deal on Shark Tank, Pickle’s world begins to tilt.
Enter Adrian Richter, thirty-four, a polished, quietly intense documentary filmmaker sent the day after the show by a streaming network sensing a story —sharp-eyed and no-nonsense. He’s come looking for an authentic slice of small-town hockey life…and instead he finds Pickle, standing in the parking lot of The Drop in Crocs, holding a broken karaoke microphone, and trying to teach Hog’s dog how to howl along to “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”
Adrian is thunderstruck. Not just by Pickle’s ridiculousness—but by the heat beneath the chaos. The tenderness tucked behind the jokes. The way Pickle lights up a room without even meaning to.
Pickle, for his part, has no idea what to do when someone hot, grown, and deeply competent looks at him like he’s more than the team’s comic relief. Every instinct tells him to deflect with humor, to hide behind being “the funny one,” to pretend he doesn’t care about the idea that someone might—finally—take him seriously. Letting Adrian see the version of himself he’s been protecting? That’s terrifying. That’s impossible. That’s starting to feel inevitable.
When the production company decides Pickle makes better footage as a joke than a person, Adrian faces his own choice: protect the project that was supposed to rebuild his stalled career, or protect the man who’s stolen his heart.
An opposites attract small-town hockey romance, with a guaranteed happily ever after.
A storm is coming to Thunder Bay.
Turns out, it’s love.Read more

The Snow Yeti’s Grouchy Werewolf (Brinnswick: Tales From Gauhala Book 3)
Being shy sucks. Being shy and having a crush sucks even more. But I can’t get the grouchy werewolf out of my head, so I need to do something… as long as it doesn’t include talking…
Step One: Leave my crush a gift. Check.
Step Two: Wait for him to open it. Check.
Step Three: Try to convince him we’re meant to be. Ugh, I definitely have my work cut out for me.
Dain caught my attention the moment I walked into the bookstore. Tall. Broody. Growly in that definitely-a-werewolf way. The more time I spend near him, the more certain I become of one impossible truth:
He’s my viramore. My soulmate.
Too bad I can barely string two words together in his presence.
When I finally tell him about our connection, he doesn’t believe me. But he does agree to a date. Hopefully I can turn one date into two, then three, and then maybe, just maybe, he’ll see that I’m right. We’re viramores, and no matter what trouble comes our way, nothing will change that.
The Snow Yeti’s Grouchy Werewolf is Book 3 in Brinnswick: Tales From Gauhala, an MM urban fantasy romance filled with grumpy/sweet energy, fated mates, gentle humor, and cozy found-family vibes.

KendraNeglected and unloved her whole life, Kendra’s only dream was to have a family of her own—a home, a husband who loved her, and a house full of children.
So when she meets Gideon Maddox, she cannot believe a man as powerful, handsome, and wealthy as him would ever look at her twice, let alone ask her to marry him and have his baby.
After three years of trying, the test finally reads pregnant, and she’s overjoyed…but before she can tell him about their Christmas miracle, her joy quickly turns to sorrow when her husband reveals that he only married her for convenience.
Shattered, Kendra carries her precious secret into the cold, winter’s night, never expecting the man who broke her heart to care enough to find her.
Gideon
As a child, Gideon Maddox knew nothing but duty and abandonment. Raising his three brothers, he became the head of a billion-dollar empire, one he’d bleed and kill for.
But cold, hard cash doesn’t keep him warm or produce an heir, so he marries the sweet, naïve, and utterly guileless Kendra.
To him it’s a marriage of convenience, so when she fails to produce an heir, and his dealings with the Mafia turn sour, he does something truly terrible.
And when Kendra runs, taking a precious Christmas gift with her, Gideon realizes something far more important than all his power and wealth has slipped through his fingers.
Veiled Silence is the second book in the Dark & Silent Night series—dark, emotional romances about the Maddox brothers that explore the razor-thin line between hero and villain.

Am I Normal?: Understanding your place in a complex world
‘The world can feel a hard place at times, who hasn’t asked themselves ‘Is it me?’ How wonderfully reassuring to have Dr Alex ask those same questions with his trademark warmth and honesty. A must read for everyone trying their best at life.’ DR JULIE SMITH‘This is the story of all of the ways in which I didn’t fit in and of all the things I would rather change about the world, than myself.’
How many of us have at some time wondered ‘Am I Normal?’ And yet, our society is set up in such a way that there is very little room for difference or quirks or for us to question what normal really is.
In this powerful, honest, and ultimately comforting book, mental fitness advocate and former A&E doctor Dr Alex George explores what it means to be “normal” in a society that often fails to embrace any kind of straying from the accepted path laid out by the expectations of others.
After years spent trying to fit the mould of what others expected of him, Alex’s ADHD diagnosis became a turning point – not just in understanding himself, or helping him navigate the highs and lows he had experienced in childhood, whilst working in A&E and after the devastating loss of his brother, but in challenging the systems and society that marginalise so many.
This is a book that will give hope to anyone who has ever felt different and help you realise that your version of your normal is enough.

Alone in Japan: A Journey to the Future
From the acclaimed writer and journalist, a vivid and wide-ranging portrait of love, sex and loneliness in contemporary Japan
No sex. No kids. No future?
When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, and a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success. When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come – but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning.
This book offers a unique portrait of life in contemporary Japan, from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the dynamism of its megacities. It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. The country is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the population is shrinking. As things stand, it will fall by a third with each new generation.
Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples’ homes, Feiling meets those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids. He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and considers the risks – and the opportunities – of the rise in solo living in Japan, and beyond.
Clear-sighted and surprising, Alone in Japan is a portrait of love, sex and death in contemporary Japan that should provoke and engage us all. It is an electrifying portrait of a nation on the brink by one of the most original reporters working today.

The Future of Fraud (The FUTURES Series)
Fraud is BIG business – in this latest edition to the FUTURES series, find out the new (and old) ways fraudsters are targeting us, what future technological threats await, and how we can protect ourselves.
Humans have been ripping each other off since they first discovered the concept of lying but in 300 BC, the first ever official record of a fraud case was made. A merchant in Greece took out an insurance policy, borrowed money and planned to sink his boat. Unfortunately for him, things did not go according to plan. Since then, fraud has become more complex and harder to detect, as technology has evolved. So how can we protect ourselves now and in the future, and what new dangers do we need to be looking out for?
Deeply researched and littered with expert testimony, The Future of Fraud will explore interesting fraud cases past and present, and expose how the technology we depend upon today is also perfectly poised to exploit us: from social media, the dark web and gaming, to cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. And as well as parting us from our money, fraud is eroding the trust between humans and the state, and between each other.
The only way to tackle the fraud epidemic, argues Holmes, is head on, via education, language, technology and regulation. We need everyone to understand the dangers and have protections in place to stop the bad guys. Are we fighting a losing battle, or can we make the future a safer place for everyone?

Into the Heart of Middle-Earth: Exploring Faith and Fellowship in J. R. R. Tolkien’s the Lord of the Rings
Are you quite ready for a new adventure?
Into the Heart of Middle-earth is a spiritual companion to The Lord of the Rings–an invitation to journey through J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic tale with fresh eyes and a faithful heart. Written by Kaitlyn Facista, creator of the beloved Tea with Tolkien community, this book guides readers through Frodo and Sam’s perilous quest, revealing the practical and spiritual treasures hidden beneath the leaves of Lothlórien and along the weary miles of the road, and illuminating the eternal truths that give life and meaning to their journey.
Drawing from years of study and Tolkien’s own letters, Facista has helped thousands of readers explore the Catholic heart of Middle-earth. Like the Fellowship of the Ring itself, this book offers companionship for the road ahead–whether you’re visiting Middle-earth for the first time or returning as a seasoned traveler.
Few stories have captured the imagination quite like Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings–a timeless tale of courage, fellowship, and hope. From the green hills of the Shire to the shadowy fires of Mount Doom, generations of readers have felt the mysterious pull of something greater at work in Middle-earth. Tolkien himself spoke of “that one ever-present Person who is never absent and never named”–a divine providence so seamlessly woven into his narrative that readers of every background sense its power.
Though Tolkien did not write The Lord of the Rings as a Christian allegory, his Catholic faith provided a foundation–shaping a world rich with spiritual truth and moral beauty. Great stories like this do more than entertain–they awaken us. They help us discover deeper meaning and purpose in our own lives.
With Facista as your guide, journey alongside heroes of every kind–hobbits and kings, shieldmaidens and wizards–as you explore
- the values and themes that make Middle-earth a deeply human–and profoundly Christian–story world;
- the habits of excellence that drive Tolkien’s characters toward virtue;
- spiritual insights from saints and biblical figures who influenced Tolkien, such as St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s “Little Way” and the hospitality of St. Benedict;
- practical ways to weave the lessons of the Fellowship into your own life, strengthening your soul for the long road of faith.
Throughout the journey, you’ll discover how fellowship, humility, and hope are embodied in heroes both great and small–from Sam’s steadfast loyalty and Éowyn’s bold courage to Aragorn’s sacrificial kingship–and how these same virtues can shape your own path.
Join the adventure. Let Tolkien’s world transform the way you see your own–and return from the journey altogether changed.

The Book of Birds: A Field Guide to Wonder and Loss
From the creators of the internationally bestselling, award-winning, multi-adapted phenomenon The Lost Words: a dazzling celebration of birdlife in Britain, re-imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature lovers
A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last. An almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way –– but we will not save what we do not love.
The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered in Britain. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.
With lyrical precision and playfulness, Robert Macfarlane evokes each bird’s habits and habitats –– their patterns of flight and of song, how they hunt and gather, how they nest and raise their young, the stories and myths which attend them, the threats which shadow them, and how their wild lives intersect with our own. And on every page we encounter Jackie Morris’s exhilarating artwork, painted in watercolour and gold and animated by an extraordinary attention to detail and sense of life. Set among this dazzling flock of species are seven sections celebrating the ‘Seven Wonders’ that together make up the everyday miracle of ‘Bird’: Nest, Egg, Beak, Song, Feather, Flight and Migration.
Seven years in the making, The Book of Birds is a love letter to the splendours and mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt the loss of birds from land, sea and sky. From Dipper to Dunnock and Kestrel to Kingfisher, from mountain to ocean and city to river, Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane conjure the unique spirit and lifeway of each species. This is a book to be treasured by bird-lovers of all ages, and a future classic work of reference.

Kill Dick
ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF FOURTEEN STORIES, NONE OF THEM ARE YOURS, CO-WRITER OF EILEEN
RECIPIENT OF PRESTIGIOUS RONALD SUKENICK INNOVATIVE FICTION PRIZE AND JOAN SCOTT MEMORIAL FICTION AWARD
“If this book were any better I’d cut my own head off.”–Ottessa Moshfegh
“Kill Dick is a fever dream.”–Harriet Armstrong, author of To Rest Our Minds and Bodies
A fever dream, Kill Dick is a literary thriller that plunges into the chaos of Los Angeles where addiction, privilege, and corruption combust.
At nineteen, Susie Vogelman should be coasting: she’s an NYU dropout with no responsibilities, endless prescription pills, and a Brentwood estate to waste away in. But Los Angeles has other plans. A string of brutal murders targeting addicts spreads through the city, and Susie’s ivory tower begins to crumble. The headlines point too close to home: her father’s ties to an opioid empire, a sinister secret society, and her own complicity in the systems holding it all together.
Then there’s Peter Holiday, a disgraced professor running a rehab scam so audacious it’s almost admirable. When their lives collide, Susie and Peter are dragged into a web of privilege, corruption, and violence, where every escape leads deeper into the rot.
Dark, satirical, and razor-sharp, Kill Dick is a modern literary thriller that unflinchingly dissects wealth, exploitation, and the perilous line between survival and self-destruction.

You’re Going to Be OK: (Because You’re F*cked No Matter What)
Social media sensation Darby Hudson offers this collection of encouraging and humorous reflections to encourage others to continue expressing themselves, no matter what.You’re Going to Be OK is a book on art, jobs, magic and muddling through. These hand-typed fragments were gathered by the train tracks at night over ten years, after author Darby Hudson worked meaningless jobs, trying to make sense of a strange world that insisted it was “perfectly normal.” The observations in You’re Going to Be OK are little fragments of collected wisdom that sit somewhere between poetry, comedy and aphorism.

Am I Normal?: Understanding your place in a complex world (Audio Download): Dr Alex George, Dr Alex George, Aster: Amazon.co.uk: Books
‘The world can feel a hard place at times, who hasn’t asked themselves ‘Is it me?’ How wonderfully reassuring to have Dr Alex ask those same questions with his trademark warmth and honesty. A must read for everyone trying their best at life.’ DR JULIE SMITH‘This is the story of all of the ways in which I didn’t fit in and of all the things I would rather change about the world, than myself.’
How many of us have at some time wondered ‘Am I Normal?’ And yet, our society is set up in such a way that there is very little room for difference or quirks or for us to question what normal really is.
In this powerful, honest, and ultimately comforting book, mental fitness advocate and former A&E doctor Dr Alex George explores what it means to be “normal” in a society that often fails to embrace any kind of straying from the accepted path laid out by the expectations of others.
After years spent trying to fit the mould of what others expected of him, Alex’s ADHD diagnosis became a turning point – not just in understanding himself, or helping him navigate the highs and lows he had experienced in childhood, whilst working in A&E and after the devastating loss of his brother, but in challenging the systems and society that marginalise so many.
This is a book that will give hope to anyone who has ever felt different and help you realise that your version of your normal is enough.

Second Sight: A gripping British crime mystery packed with humor and incredible twists (The Magician’s Wife Series Book 2)
He’s seen death coming… but can it be stopped?
When a shadowy figure turns up late one night at the house of police adviser-cum-stage magic expert Mara Knight, Mara and her assistant Clare Deyes know instantly that something is very wrong.
The woman has come to Mara and Clare for help. She claims her young son, Tayte, has begun having a series of extraordinary visions of the future. And that these visions only started after his recent cornea transplant.
In addition, the woman says she has proof that Tayte’s incredible predictions have started coming true. And more worrying still is his claim that – in less than a week’s time – Tayte is certain that a man will kill him.
Can Mara and Clare together uncover the truth behind Tayte’s alarming visions before his final prophecy is fulfilled… with deadly consequences?
