Book Description
PRAISE FOR BOOK 1 OF THE MERROW TRILOGY: WAKING THE MERROW "A prickly and memorable protagonist fights to protect her family from wily merfolk in this promising debut contemporary fantasy." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "You know what's great about Rigney's horror-ific (that's horror-filled and terrific), hysterical debut novel? Besides the bloodthirsty merfolk, our antihero protagonist is an overweight, drunk, subpar mother, who also happens to be a funeral director. I can't even describe the premise of this book without getting giddy, because how many times does a plot involve both vicious mermaids and Rhode Island colonists?" - Nicole Hill, Barnes & Noble Book Blog "Rigney has struck gold with her first novel. It's humorous - hysterical at times - descriptive and has a nice flow to it." - Bobby Forrand, Motif Magazine "WAKING THE MERROW is a horrifying, addictive, and intriguing twist on the mermaid legend, and takes the reader on a bone-chilling ride through colonial and current times in Rhode Island. This is a fabulous debut novel by Heather Rigney. Read it if you dare." - Penny Watson, Bestselling Author of APPLES SHOULD BE RED *** In 1772, angry Rhode Island colonists set fire to a British ship, sparking the American Revolution. Taxation without representation was a motivator. So was the vengeful, man-eating mermaid who had it out for the commanding officer. That was then. This is now. Mermaids, or merrow, still hunt in Narragansett Bay, but these days they keep a lower profile. At night, centuries-old Nomia seduces smutty frat boys, lures them into icy waters, and feeds them to her voracious kin. By day, she and her half-breed daughter attempt to blend in at the coastal Village Playground. But Nomia slips up. She makes a friend. Then she makes that friend disappear, and someone notices. Thirty-something Evie McFagan just wants to make it through working motherhood. But she's a blistering stew of issues-snarky alcoholic and a friendless funeral director who just witnessed Nomia dismembering a guy at the nearby yacht club. When Evie believes a mermaid stole her baby, who will help? The merrow of Ireland? Or maybe anti-hero Evie will surprise everyone, including herself, and summon the strength to save her own family. Intertwining the stories of two primordial families with the colonial history of Narragansett Bay, Waking the Merrow is a dark historical fantasy.

No one likes to surrender. Warrior Jaemus McAlator will never forgive his selfish brother for turning him into a werewolf. He was quite happy being a man—one who had known great success in battle and enjoyed the glory that came with his victories. Now his own anger and that of a Celtic goddess have ripped him from the life he knew in Ireland only to dump him first on a desolate tropical island and then, even worse, on his brother’s damn doorstep. His brother wants forgiveness. Jaemus just wants a normal life again, but is that possible with fangs and fur? Maple Ridge Trading Post owner Nika Skarvinski is in trouble. Her father’s shop in the woods of Canville, Vermont had always been a tourist hotspot. Until her father died. Now she struggles to keep it—and the memory of her father—afloat while businessman Robert Senclair pesters her to sell the land to him. He also wants her to be Mrs. Robert Senclair. Nika doesn’t want to do either, but when the one thing bringing in money at the post—The Wolfman Show—loses its star, her only choice might be to accept defeat. But no one likes to surrender. Can Jaemus make life as a werewolf work? Is forgiving his brother possible? Can Nika keep her trading post away from Robert? Will she lose her father’s memory?

Book Description
A Porthkennack Contemporary Novel South London mechanic Devan Thompson has gone to Porthkennack to track down someone he's been waiting all his life to know. But Dev's distracted from his quest by Kyle, a broodingly handsome local of only a few months, who's already got a reputation as an alcoholic because of his strange behaviour--including a habit of collapsing in the street. Kyle Anthony fled to Porthkennack to escape from the ruins of his life. Still raging against his diagnosis of narcolepsy--a condition that's cost him his job as a barrister, his lover, and all chance of normality--the last thing he wants is another relationship that's doomed to fail. But Dev's easy-going acceptance and adaptability, not to mention his good looks, have Kyle breaking all his self-imposed rules. When disaster strikes Dev's adored little sister, Kyle steps up to the plate, and Dev sees a side of his lover he wasn't prepared for: competent, professional--and way out of Dev's league. With one man determined that they don't have a future, and the other fearing it, life after Porthkennack is starting to look bleak for both of them.

Book Description
Winner of a British Medical Association Book Award A Brain Pickings Best Science Book of the Year Early birds and night owls are born, not made. Sleep patterns may be the most obvious manifestation of the highly individualized biological clocks we inherit, but these clocks also regulate bodily functions from digestion to hormone levels to cognition. Living at odds with our internal timepieces, Till Roenneberg shows, can make us chronically sleep deprived and more likely to smoke, gain weight, feel depressed, fall ill, and fail geometry. By understanding and respecting our internal time, we can live better. “Internal Time is a cautionary tale—actually a series of 24 tales, not coincidentally. Roenneberg ranges widely from the inner workings of biological rhythms to their social implications, illuminating each scientific tutorial with an anecdote inspired by clinical research...Written with grace and good humor, Internal Time is a serious work of science incorporating the latest research in chronobiology...[A] compelling volume.” —A. Roger Ekirch, Wall Street Journal “This is a fascinating introduction to an important topic, which will appeal to anyone who wishes to delve deep into the world of chronobiology, or simply wonders why they struggle to get a good night’s sleep.” —Richard Wiseman, New Scientist
