Beschreibung

For readers of Paulette Jiles and Gil Adamson, a 19th-century tale of a father’s greatest regret and path to redemption
		 
Devastated at his wife’s death and stricken at raising two girls and a boy on his own, Arthur Delaney places his children in a Halifax orphanage and runs off to join the Union Army in the American Civil War. The trauma of battle and three years in a disease-ridden prisoner-of-war prison changes his perspective on life and family.
		 
After the war, Delaney odd-jobs his way up the American east coast and catches a schooner to Halifax. There he discovers the orphanage has relocated to a farm in rural Nova Scotia. His children are not there. They and others had been sold and resold as farm workers and house servants through the Maritime provinces, as well as Quebec and Ontario. Their whereabouts is unknown. Arthur Delaney sets out on a punishing 20-year journey across Canada to find them.
		 
This is a heartbreaking, beautifully told story of a father’s attempt to reconnect with his children

    They swore they were done. Fate has other plans. 
    Desperate for help raising his kids after his wife dies, Tom hires a live-in housekeeper sight unseen—only to open the door to Lacy Wilson, the girl who broke his heart seventeen years ago. 
    She was his first love. The one who walked away. 
    Now she’s back—broke, newly divorced, and needing this job as badly as he needs to fill it. Tom wants to send her packing, but he can’t afford to. So they strike a truce: she’ll stay in the apartment above his garage, cook, clean, and care for his kids... without stirring up the past. 
    But proximity has a funny way of reigniting old sparks. And while they try to pretend they’re nothing to each other, the heat between them says otherwise. Add in two matchmaking children, one cozy ranch, and the scent of pumpkin spice in the crisp mountain air, and resisting temptation might just be impossible. 
    Can they learn from old mistakes—or will history repeat itself? 
    A flirty, feel-good second-chance romance full of heart, healing, and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice.

    The ghost of Dick Turpin meets a man in the forest and follows him home. Becoming a tech expert and ghost writer posing as the man. Although the man doesn't know this is a crossover story with characters from my The Magicians series guest starring. 
    "Dick do you know why Amazon, Redbubble, Audible, and someone called Zazzle are paying me?" asked James one day suspecting it had to do with him. 
    "I wrote a book," said Turpin. 
    "You wrote a book?" said James. 
    "It's selling on Amazon and Audible, and I promote my work on Redbubble and Zazzle," said Turpin. 
    "Why am I being paid by them?" said James 
    "I used your details and name to sign up and as a name. I couldn't sell without real details what would people say if I said I was a ghostwriter!" said Turpin. 
    "You lousy identity thief!" grumbled James "Great I'm being haunted by a computer genius from before computers." 
    "Thief I'm paying you!" said Turpin. 
    "I thought Audible needed real voices to be eligible to have your work put on Audible?" said James. 
    "I read the book on to the computer as John Palmer," said Turpin. 
    "How? I thought I was the only person who could hear you?" said James. 
    "I did an E V P," Turpin said. 
    "A what?" asked James. 
    "Electronic Voice Phenomena or a ghost audio recording! Ghosts can be recorded with a microphone, so I read it." Turpin said. 
    "So you are haunting Audible now, are you?" James said. 
    "And YouTube, iTunes, and Soundcloud, among other things if you put it like that?" said Turpin exasperated. 
    "What am I supposed to have written!" asked James.

    The second son of the Baron of Fox Keep, Gerin never wanted title or responsibility, but both were thrust on him when his father and brother were ambushed and slain by enemy Trokmê raiders. Leaving behind the urban bustle of Cassat and his studies in philosophy and magic, Gerin the Fox returned home to accept his place among the other barons of the Northern marches—a region secluded from the rest of the Empire of Elabon. But now word is spreading that the Trokmê are returning, led by a powerful new wizard whose magic makes them unstoppable. Keeping his lands and people safe may prove beyond the young lord's capabilities. Only one choice remains for the Fox: He must set out into the wild and make his way back to the city—for only there can he hope to find a new form of sorcery with which to fight the coming of the Werenight, when men will become monsters. 
     
     
      
    Before Hugo Award winner Harry Turtledove became known far and wide as the king of alternate history, he introduced himself to the world with Werenight, carrying readers into a remarkable realm of war and magic.
