  People come to the guest house for fresh air and views across the Atlantic. But if they're lucky, they might just leave with the second chance they didn't know they needed... 
   
  Esme has run the guest house for as long as anyone in Ballycove can remember. But in her declining years, her sight is failing, and when she has a fall on the eve of the summer season, she is forced to take a back seat for the first time in her life. 
   
  From her chair in the entry hall, not much passes Esme by. There's Cora, the wife visiting indefinitely... without her husband; Niamh, the city professional with a life-changing decision to make; and Phyllie, the grandmother whose family is slipping away from her. 
   
  Esme's guests provide the colour that helps her keep her grip on the world. All of them have something they want to escape – or to hold on to. But can Esme help them find their way before the summer is over? 
   
  From bestselling Irish writer Faith Hogan comes a new, uplifting story about discovering love, friendship and the healing power of the Irish sea air. It will charm fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Heidi Swain and Susanne O'Leary.

  Death Reports to a Health Resort 
  or The case of the case of withdrawal 
  When his uncle is accused of an impossible crime by the wary and weary and ever leery Inspector Wittersham, Anty’s mum sends him to the wilds of Epping Forest to sort out who could have managed to murder the universally disliked taskmaster of a health resort dedicated to the repression and suppression of the best of the seven sins. 
  And things only get worse for Anty’s Uncle Pim when his nemesis dies in another murder that both eye-witnesses — Anty Boisjoly and Inspector Wittersham — swear was impossible.  
  Voice of Anty Boisjoly Tim Bruce is literally beside himself as multiple multi-faceted members of a motley cast, including a basset hound, a bee, boundless Boisjolys, and a pie-eyed valet singing music hall favourites.

  He’s not a hero. He’s just a policeman trying to survive. 
  Steve Jackson has seen too much. After enduring trauma and personal loss, all he wants is a quiet life and to be left alone. But fate has other plans. 
  This is the gritty, gripping story of a year in the life of Steve—known to his colleagues as "Steady Eddy"—and Felicity Oakshott, his fiercely loyal, quick-witted partner, better known as "Fu*k Off." Together, they navigate the highs and lows of police life with sharp humour, raw honesty, and an unflinching look at what it really means to serve. 
  Blending dark comedy with real-life policing, this is no ordinary crime story. It’s an unconventional tale about two unforgettable characters—and the messy, meaningful lives behind the badge.

  A dark comedy about how to live your best life, even when you're dead.  
   
  Stacey was trying to live her best life, but now she’s dead. But why hasn't she passed on? Could it be her fatal car accident is actually murder? 
  Detectives Ed Beaufontaine and Rose Garafino have a long list of suspects, chief among them Stacey's fiancé, Liam. His business dealings and new relationship with Emily Jackson are raising a few eyebrows. As the detectives dig deeper, so does Stacey. 
  With nothing but time on her hands, she forensically examines her past relationships – her pathological ex, unreliable father, controlling psychologist, and toxic girlfriends – realising she might have been better off without them. She's hoping she can steer the detectives in the right direction before she's doomed to wander for eternity. 
  Because in the city of angels and 12 step programs, even the dead need a little help from time to time.

  Locus Amoenus

  In this dark comedy, a 9/11 widow and her son, Hamlet, have retreated from Brooklyn to the idyllic rural countryside upstate, where for nearly eight years they have tried organic farming. Unfortunately, their outrageously obese neighbors, who prefer the starchy products of industrial agriculture, shun their elitist ways (recycling, eating healthy, reading). Hamlet, who is now eighteen, is beginning to suspect that something is rotten in the United States of America, when health, happiness and freedom are traded for cheap Walmart goods, Paxil, endless war, standard curriculum, and environmental degradation. He becomes depressed when, on the very day of the 8th anniversary of his father’s death, his mother marries a horrid, boring bureaucrat named Claudius. Things get even more depressing for Hamlet when his friend Horatio, a conspiracy theorist, reveals that Claudius is a fraud. The deceptions, spying, corruption, will ultimately lead, as in Shakespeare’s play, to tragedy. 
  Locus Amoenus uses hilarity and conspiracy theories to present the tragicomedy of a contemporary America that is beyond belief. An important contribution to contemporary American fiction. -William Irwin Thompson, Wild River Review 
  This is Hamlet reimagined as a truther. The protagonist isn’t just feigning madness–he’s genuinely losing his mind. -Kirkus 
  A witty novella that unflinchingly examines the dark roots of industrial agriculture, pharmaceutical conglomerates, and standardized curriculum. A brilliant modern parallel to Shakespeare’s timeless work. –Literary Fiction Book Review 
  Until now, the only 9/11 themed novel of high literary quality was Thomas Pynchon’s Bleeding Edge. Locus Amoenus is the best fictional treatment of 9/11 yet. It’s hilarious, darkly ironic, playful, deeply moving. –Kevin Barrett
