Book Description
A modern day fairy-tale for people of all ages from 6 upwards. When Stefan digs up a mysterious amber stone on a deserted beach he releases the powerful forces of the hideous sand witches. Their mission, to appear as beautiful young women, infiltrate society and live long and happy lives supported by wealthy businessmen who have no idea what they actually are. However, to keep the illusion going involves eating children. Being mistaken for trolls doesn't help, and Stefan and his friends meet the awful Sandman and are captured by the witches. The gem dragged them into this, but can it get them out again, or will they become supper rather than getting home in time for it?

Book Description
Tom, Two-Dan $mith (sic) thought his life couldn't get any worse, until a gorgeous alien turns up at his door, and drags him off on a quest to sort out the company responsible for all the troubles in the galaxy. But as is usual with Tom, what glitters is nothing more than polished coal. His guide has another agenda, using him as cannon-fodder. Taken in by her charms, he follows her directions, surviving by sheer luck and circumstance only, to the very end of Time itself, and discovers a confluence of unimaginable universes and an alien plot to take over the lot. If that wasn't bad enough, Tom has to challenge a super-intelligent being, created by a brewing accident and a lot of radiation... and our man's not even sober by now.

Book Description
Swallows and Amazons meets The Famous Five for the 21st Century. Springtime: Terry and Paul are looking forward to getting their beloved dinghy, Orinoco, back on the water. Perhaps, this year they can concentrate on sailing without running across criminal gangs or having another adventure searching for treasure. Unfortunately the criminals have other ideas. As witnesses, the boys and their older siblings, BJ and Graham, are a possible link to putting them behind bars, and anything might happen before they come to trial. All the youngsters have to do is lie low at their new cottage in the Lakes, keep out of trouble and not use social media... easier said than done. Their cover is blown, and they have to make a desperate escape, ending up in a remote village in Norway. Safe now? Not this bunch of youngsters. It's a case of frying pans and fires! Danger, intrigue and treachery follow... and that's just a normal day's sailing.

Book Description
National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

Book Description
In this powerful entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Mercy Thompson must face a deadly enemy to defend all she loves… My name is Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic. And a coyote shapeshifter. And the mate of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack. Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn’t stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who lived in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats, and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae. The reality is that nothing and no one is safe. As generals and politicians face off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death. But we are pack, and we have given our word. We will die to keep it.
