Seven
‘What a writer.’ ALI SMITH
‘One of the most brilliant British writers working today.’ SpectatorWho decides the rules of the games we play?
In August 2007, or thereabouts, a young philosopher leaves Oslo, heading for Greece, on a mission to find Theodoros Apostolakis, the head of the Society of Lost Things. Fortunately, Apostolakis isn’t lost, but everything else is: ancient libraries, entire civilisations, priceless books and a beautiful box, once used to play the world-famous game of Seven. The hunt for this small thing, among the countless lost things, becomes an absurdist quest through time and space: from the earliest human societies to the advent of AI.
Told, shared and mythologised by our narrator, along with a wild cast of dreamers, philosophers, poets, rebels and optimists, Seven is an extraordinary, uplifting journey through an ever darkening 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.

Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories from a Sore Winner
From the award-winning composer/co-lyricist behind such iconic projects as Hairspray, Sister Act, Mary Poppins Returns, and Smash comes a wickedly funny, no-holds-barred memoir.In Never Mind the Happy, musical dynamo Marc Shaiman looks back on five decades of Broadway triumphs, Hollywood hijinks, and unforgettable collaborations. Along the way, he charts the personal highs and heartbreaks that have shaped him—spending his teenage years in community theater, starting a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the ’70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the ’80s, his award-winning film music career in the Hollywood of the ’90s, right up to the peaks (and valleys) of creating Broadway musicals from 2000 on.
Candid, hilarious, and deeply human, Shaiman’s story is a tribute to the power of music, the pull of the spotlight, and the beat that never stops.
Part showbiz tell-all, part love letter to the melancholy that fuels creativity, told with perfect comic timing—along with a few wrong notes, and plenty of standing ovations.

plastic
Set during a single twelve-hour night shift in a factory, plastic is a book-length poem exploring the life of the industrial worker turned poet.
Bringing together memoir, ekphrasis and satire, Bplastic is based on Matthew Rice’s experience working in a plastic moulding factory for ten years. Illustrating alienated twenty-first-century Irish labour in poetic form, plastic engages with the inflictions and implications of a ‘post-industrial’, ‘post-Troubles’ society, all while weaving in depictions of factory work from literature, film and the visual arts.
Time-stamped to highlight the claustrophobia of the worker’s experience, this is a poem about feeling a calling while being submerged in the world of menial labour – making plastic airplane parts by night, making poetry by day, uniting what Jacques Rancière calls the ‘labourers in love with the intellectual nights’ and those ‘intellectuals in love with the toilsome and glorious days of the labouring people.’ plastic’s evocation and lucidity moves with grace through working class realities and hopeful imaginings.

In Her Own League: the new sports romance from Liz Tomforde
He’s used to being the boss. But she’s in her own league…
As the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing for this role. With a sharp mind and years of experience working behind the scenes, she’s more than qualified. But the public only sees a woman in a man’s world – not the person who’s earned their place on the field. Under constant scrutiny and pressure to prove herself, Reese can’t afford distractions.
Especially one that comes in the form of the team’s tempting field manager who questions her every decision.
Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. After years of running the team his way, the last thing he wants is a new boss – let alone one who seems ice-cold and laser-focused on business. But forced to spend long hours – and too many away games – side by side, he begins to see the fire beneath Reese’s control, the heart behind her ambition and the unwavering determination to prove herself.
When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist. But Reese is constantly reminded of how many people are waiting for her to fail, and the safest move is to keep Emmett at arm’s length – for the sake of the team, the season and her career.
But keeping their distance is one game neither of them can seem to win…
Coming 3rd March 2026 and available to pre-order NOW.

The Way of Excellence: A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World
‘A powerful alternative to burnout culture and digital distraction’ CHARLES DUHIGG, author of the bestsellers The Power of Habit and SupercommunicatorsAre the conveniences and distractions of modern life undermining your personal growth and ability to realise your true potential?
Each of us has an innate drive for progress and growth. It’s why we feel alive and fulfilled when we channel that drive into meaningful goals, be it starting a business, writing a book, learning an instrument, studying a craft or training for a marathon. Excellence is not a destination so much as an energising process of growth and becoming – one that yields our best performances and, every bit as important, our best selves. Except too often the hustle of our demanding, distracting and fad-driven lives works against us, leaving us frustrated, unfulfilled and unable to focus on what really matters.
Performance coach and international bestselling author Brad Stulberg offers a fascinating new theory of excellence and why our pursuit of it is integral to personal growth, satisfaction and lasting well-being. Stulberg will help you reclaim your excellence by teaching you how to define, live and work in alignment with your values, cultivate focus and concentration, prioritise consistency over intensity, build durable confidence, and develop the courage to care deeply.
Eye-opening, informative and empowering, The Way of Excellence will give you a new perspective on prioritising excellence and building a more fulfilling life around it.

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.

Death on the Lanai: A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery (Golden Girls Cozy Mystery Series)
The New York Times bestselling series that began with Murder by Cheesecake continues with an all-new Golden Girls cozy mystery!When the Girls accept a very strange invitation to a lavish party on a remote island estate, they find that murder has a way of ruining even the most glamorous of evenings.
The invite delivered to 6151 Richmond Street was short on details, only promising to celebrate “the greatest artist of the century” and accompanied by a jewel-encrusted brooch–the whole package a brand of mysterious opulence that another Saturday night of gin rummy just can’t match.
Blanche Devereaux’s passionate dalliances are as plentiful as hot Southern nights, and surely one can’t be expected to remember all of one’s suitors. But when the Girls disembark the party’s ferry at a small Biscayne Bay island and meet their secretive host, the memories come flooding back: she a Radio City Rockette in her twenties, he the poor artist who could offer her nothing but his love. Fate drove them apart, but Declan, now a famous artist El Toro, professes that Blanche has always been his muse.
Featured prominently in his artworks and central to El Toro’s return to the apex of the art world, Blanche is thrilled to have been such an inspiring figure to this man. But looking around at a party filled with those who have made their livings off the artist’s fame–his assistant, his art dealer, his greatest critic, and more–Dorothy isn’t so sure they’re welcome on the island after all.
When a tropical storm knocks power out across the island, an optimistic Blanche proclaims that everyone looks better by candlelight anyway. But when Declan is found dead the next morning, all eyes are on her, his supposed muse of thirty-plus years. Trapped at the estate with the other guests–suspects all–the Girls must band together to find the true killer and get back to pleasant evenings of card games and cheesecake.

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.

Medium Rare
Phil is ordinary. A mid-level Washington lobbyist for a decidedly unsexy organization, unhappy in the way all mildly successful, minimally influential men are. That is until the spring of 2019, when Phil’s picks for the NCAA March Madness Tournament start panning out, and heads begin to turn his way. He really may do it: predict a perfect bracket, for a billion-dollar prize. At first, Cassandra is just along for Phil’s soaring rise – she had foreseen it happening, after all. Despite moving in different circles since their shared university days and Cassandra never much liking him, she recognizes in Phil the making of a legend worthy of the highest art. What Cassandra fails to predict, though, is just how much she’d grow to care about Phil’s wife, Raleigh – and that the grandest narrative arcs sometimes unfold at the steepest of personal costs. Dazzling in its absurd comedy, Medium Rare is not only a gambol through the upper echelon, but also a shrewd examination of madness, desire, and credibility – why don’t we listen when prophetic women speak? A. Natasha Joukovsky delivers a story as layered and incisive as it is high-flying fun.Read more

‘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

“I grinned like a lunatic from page one to the end.” —Shannon Baker, award-winning author of Stripped Bare
Verona Montero loves calling herself a private dick because it makes her sound like she’s in a 1940s detective movie. And she gets to say “dick” a lot. So when Miami—a walking Barbie with an emoji addiction—needs proof her billionaire husband Javier is cheating, Verona’s all over it. Bonus: it means working with divorce lawyer Quentin, whose cologne gives her “crotch headaches.”

Between conning hotel staff and recruiting a drag queen to go undercover in a secret sex club, evidence suggests that the wrong person might be taking the fall. Now Verona’s facing her toughest moral dilemma yet: pursue justice for a dead predator, or let a killer with excellent taste in victims walk free.
