  The first time I met her, Jacinthe Gauthier-Laframboise was running screaming after an escaped donkey while covered in manure.It wasn't exactly a meet-cute, but luckily, I'm not looking for a relationship. Dating has been on the backburner ever since life threw a wrench and left me to raise my daughter on my own.I'm finally finding my feet again, and they've led me to the charming small town of La Cloche. It's the perfect place to grow my business as a farrier and create some stability for me and my kid.Unfortunately, Jacinthe makes me feel anything but stable. She's a chaotic whirlwind of a woman who doesn't know the meaning of the word quiet, but somehow, I can't get her out of my head. Or my house.She's my new landlady's daughter, and living on the same farm together means there's no escape: not from her devious dark eyes, her surprising moments of softness, or the way she's cracking open my heart just as fast as she's falling into my fantasies.Letting her in means risking my new life, but letting her go means giving up what might just be the very best thing in this town.I've gotten used to making tough choices, but this could be the most impossible one of all.

  '"O, Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth!"
  
  And so was I, which plainly signified
  
  That I should snarl and bite, play the dog.'
  Henry VI, Part 3
  Christopher Marlowe – rockstar of Elizabethan theatre and notorious spy for the Crown – danger and seduction combined. William Shakespeare – jobbing actor and promising young playwright – dazzled by Marlowe, but with ambitions of his own.
  When the pair meet in the backroom of a pub to collaborate on a cycle of history plays, tensions rise as they navigate the perils of art under an oppressive regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose…
  An explosively entertaining duel of wits, words and powerplay, Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth is a playful and daring imagining of the relationship between two literary icons. The play was first performed in Houston, Texas, in 2022, where it won several major awards. In 2025, it received its European premiere at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, produced by Playful Productions, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Grain of Sand Productions, directed by RSC Co-Artistic Director Daniel Evans, and starring Ncuti Gatwa as Kit and Edward Bluemel as Will.

  A vampire on guard. A psychic on the run. A cabin with one bed.
  Jameson Whitlock trusted the wrong person. Again. As a walking lie detector, he should be able to tell when he's being played, but so far, he hasn't had the best of luck. After yet another kidnapping attempt, he leaves town in a hurry and runs to his uncle's fishing cabin to hide. 
  Harland Duke comes back after having fed only to find a light on in the cabin. Had he known there would be takeout, he wouldn't have bothered to go into town. 
  No one is happier than Harland that he didn't snack on the man sleeping in his bed when it turns out he's his boss' nephew. Jameson isn't pleased with having to share the cabin with a vampire, but it's not safe to return home yet. To pass the time, he spends his days fishing, but what's easiest to catch -- a fish or a vampire?

  Shortlisted for the Atwood Gibson Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize
  		 
  Homage to Jean Genet’s antihero and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of the Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.
  		 
  As a millworkers’ strike in the northern lumber town of Roberval drags on, tensions start to escalate between the workers—but when a lockout renews their solidarity, they rally around the mysterious and magnetic influence of Querelle, a dashing newcomer from Montreal. Strapping and unabashed, likeable but callow, by day he walks the picket lines and at night moves like a mythic Adonis through the ranks of young men who flock to his apartment for sex. As the dispute hardens and both sides refuse to yield, sand stalls the gears of the economic machine and the tinderbox of class struggle and entitlement ignites in a firestorm of passions carnal and violent. Trenchant social drama, a tribute to Jean Genet’s antihero, and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of France’s Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.

  Sequel to Twelve Letters
  
  In the autumn of 1814, the Honourable Percy Havilland is generally content with his sheltered existence in London's exclusive Mayfair. As a society beau, renowned for his fair and youthful beauty and an object of desire to other well-born gentlemen, Percy is slightly miffed his personal life is not running as seamlessly as he might wish.
  
  
  His good-natured lover from the spring season, Jo Everett, has inexplicably lost interest, and his replacement, Nathaniel Brooks, is far too hard-headed to be cajoled and manipulated into pandering to Percy's every whim.
  
  
  But these trifles are cast into proportion when, out of the blue, a family scandal of immense proportions threatens Percy's peace of mind and his standing amongst the ton. Fearing rejection or even social banishment, to his surprise, Percy discovers a small, unconventional band of friends, including Jo, who are prepared to stick by him. And more importantly, he finds Nathan is utterly reliable in a crisis.
  
  
  Will Percy remain spoiled, immature, and pampered? Or can he grow from this disaster to appreciate the value of true friendship? Might he even learn to love?

  I wish I knew why I was born with the mark of a half-moon, but I was abandoned at the edge of a forest as a baby. Leading my forest army into war and fighting for my people is all that matters. I don't need family and friends because I love my bow and arrow and I certainly don't have time for relationships or sex.
  
  
  At least, it's how things used to be. Nothing has been the same ever since the pretty witch Marwa chased me until we fought. Now I can't sleep without thinking about how she kissed me or the embarrassing way she played with my body. And I allowed her to do those things! I should be ashamed of myself, but I can't stop thinking about her.
  
  
  There's more. The river and trees are dying and the moon had cracked into two. Everyone says the witches are to blame. How can the rift be healed? My people and Marwa's have been enemies since time began. Is it too late to stop the rot?
