Sinossi

In "An Apache Princess: A Tale of the Indian Frontier," Charles King immerses readers in the dramatic intersection of Native American and settler cultures during the tumultuous period of the American West. This historical novel, rich in vivid description and engaging narrative, reflects the complexities of frontier life through the eyes of its formidable female protagonist, who navigates the challenges of her dual heritage. Kings's prose strikes a balance between lyrical quality and accessibility, making this tale resonate within both the literary and historical contexts of the 19th century, a time marked by violent conflict and the struggle for identity amidst a rapidly changing landscape. Charles King, a veteran of the U.S. Army and a skilled observer of life on the frontier, draws upon his own experiences to lend authenticity and depth to his narrative. His deep understanding of Native American cultures and the sociopolitical dynamics of the era informs the story, allowing for a nuanced portrayal of both Native and settler perspectives. This background not only enriches the narrative but also highlights King's commitment to presenting a balanced view of a often glamorized and oversimplified historical period. "An Apache Princess" is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history, literature, or the cultural exchanges that have shaped modern society. King's deft storytelling and his focus on themes of resilience, identity, and the human spirit make this novel an essential addition to the canon of frontier literature, appealing to scholars and casual readers alike.

    A shooter takes deadly aim, and throws a city into panic 
     
     
     
    Psychologist Daniel Rinaldi is no stranger to trauma. A survivor of not one, but two attempts on his life by a deranged killer, the therapist also counsels trauma patients in his private practice, and contracts with the Pittsburgh Police to help victims of violent crime cope with their experience. When a sports mascot is gunned down mid-field by a sniper at a college football game he attends, Rinaldi becomes an accidental yet integral part of the investigation. To begin with, the victim in the costume is not the person who was supposed to be wearing it. 
     
     
     
    When the actual "Teasdale Tiger" hears the news, he suffers a crippling panic attack and calls on Rinaldi to talk him through it. From there, Rinaldi seems to be in all the wrong places at all the wrong times, as the sniper continues his killing spree. Meeting with resistance from members of the Pittsburgh Police force and taking dangerous risks in pursuit of the killer, Rinaldi puts his career and his life in harm's way as he races to find a connection between the victims before the shooter strikes again.

    'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield' The Mirror  
    On the day that her youngest child leaves home, Alice Hatton discovers two disturbing truths in a matter of hours. 
    The Empty Nest cliche is true. 
    And she does not love her husband Peter at all.  
    Now in her fifties, Alice is appalled to realise that she is no longer considered her own person, but is instead defined by her relationships – mother to her adult children, wife to her husband. Horrified by the thought of spending another thirty years with Peter in their North London suburb, Alice decides to take matters into her own hands. 
    What follows is a triumphant and liberating breaking of all the rules. But when Alice must cope with loss for the second time in as many years, she discovers what even the most apparently ‘respectable ‘woman is capable of. 
    Join Amanda Brookfield as she revisits her first novel, Alice Alone, and rediscover how she got her well-deserved reputation for writing about women’s lives with humour and honesty. Includes a brand new foreword from the author
