Book Description
The acknowledged 'Queen of Crime', P. D. James, was a past master of the short story, weaving together motifs of the Golden Age of crime-writing with deep psychological insight to create gripping, suspenseful tales. The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories contained four of these perfectly formed stories, and this companion volume contains a further six, published here together for the first time. As the six murderous tales unfold, the dark motive of revenge is revealed at the heart of each. Bullying schoolmasters receive their comeuppance, unhappy marriages and childhoods are avenged, a murder in the small hours of Christmas Day puts an end to the vicious new lord of the manor, and, from the safety of his nursing home, an octogenarian exerts exquisite retribution. The punishments inflicted on the guilty are fittingly severe, but here they are meted out by the unseen forces of natural justice rather than the institutions of the law. Once again, P. D. James shows her expert control of the short-story form, conjuring motives and scenarios with complete conviction, and each with a satisfying twist in the tail.

Book Description
Fun friendships, high school romance, and intense competition are at the heart of book one in Tamara Girardi's swoon-worthy, young-adult contemporary series. Julia Medina, dubbed Jules by her closest friends, wants to be the new, starting quarterback of Iron Valley High School's football team, and no one is going to stand in her way. That is-until her boyfriend, Owen Malone, steps up to the challenge. Wanting to maintain her relationship with her boyfriend, Jules is torn. But while Owen is in her heart, football is in her blood. Once the idea takes root to quit her championship volleyball team and join the leagues of Iron Valley's toughest teenage boys, there's no stopping Jules from pursuing her dream. In her mind, expectations that the position will go to a male player have gone on long enough, and, even as her decision creates controversy among the booster parents, school coaches, family members, and team members themselves, Jules holds strong in her beliefs. Which is good-because when parents hear that Jules plans to participate in overnight pre-season camp with a staff of male coaches and eighty high school boys, her tryout is threatened more than ever before. Yet, nobody can deny Jules' skills. As the youngest sister of three former high school quarterbacks, Jules knows the game. She knows what it takes to outsmart opponents, and she's not about to let anyone count her out for being a girl. But as the competition intensifies, Jules must choose what she wants more-to embrace girl power and lead her team on the field, or be a girlfriend on the sidelines. Gridiron Girl will inspire you to follow your vision, instead of those dictated by others. Perfect for fans of Better than Perfect by Simone Elkeles and On the Fence by Kasie West.

Book Description
Ranging from quick-fire questions for us to ponder to provocative longer works drawing on classical themes, this highly entertaining collection will surprise and inspire with its wit and honesty Lean, yet vivid, Jeremy Robert’s style can be sensuous, graphic or outspoken. He weaves in and out around Pop Culture icons such as James Dean & Andy Warhol, as well as making irreverent commentaries on Kiwi culture. Whether ‘seeking answers’ in Auckland’s Western park, hanging out with crazies at LA’s Venice Beach, contemplating a cheap Margarita in a Texas bar, observing human tragedy on a Paris street, reflecting in steamy Bali evening, or contemplating a piece of rubbish in London, Roberts articulates with truth and honesty during his journey of discovery. Roberts does more than put his cards on the table – he lines up his targets and then hammers the poetic nails in.

Book Description
The oddity of words, the parables in daily situations, and the metaphors that always seem to fit until one thread is broken, bring a simplicity to human existence that stabilizes the most harried executive, educator, engineer, and everyone from A to Z. Daily groundings can offer a new light for the halogen-blinded mind, leading to better thinking. Author Rosanne D'Ausilio provides a variety of unique, pithy, and just plain outrageous bits of out of the ordinary observation. Lay Your Cards on the Table provides the perfect prescription for otherwise tenuous times.

Book Description
This is a history of my relationships from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. As a black man in America, I was forced to take God and my world around me seriously because I came from a dysfunctional background. I was the youngest of six children of my absent biological father, who I felt did not care for the five black sons he created. My book deals with all factual encounters with reference to my understanding of my relationships. It is important for me to explain to the world that God had my back when I left my home at a tender age to attend this prestigious university. I had no family whatsoever in the Chocolate City, and I was only twenty going on twenty-one by myself. These are my memoirs, my history, and my experiences that God helped me write. I believe I can change the way we look at relationships because many black people in America come from dysfunctional backgrounds, such as a single-parent household. My mother was the father and mother to six children: five boys and one girl. God was clearly in this equation. My book will bring more people together with reference to their newfound relationships. The key to a successful relationship is getting to know a person first before anything else happens, such as sex. In short, there are no perfect persons on earth, and there is no Utopia on earth, so the person you meet may not be the person that is meant to be with you. There should always be a six-month dating period. My book expresses the importance of getting to know their baggage before you make a commitment. My book is the history of my relationships that God allowed me to experience to grow as a black man in America.
