  Miss Seeton is most embarrassed . . .  
  Her every attempt at a portrait of little Effie Goffer has become a chilling picture of a corpse. Is Miss Seeton actually drawing a clue to a series of child murders in rural England? 
  Scotland Yard thinks so, and wants Miss Seeton to turn from sketching . . . to catching a killer skilled in a very deadly art. 
  Retired art teacher Miss Seeton steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles. Armed with only her sketch pad and umbrella, she is every inch an eccentric English spinster and at every turn the most lovable and unlikely master of detection.Editorial reviews: 
  “A most beguiling protagonist!” New York Times 
  “Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce . . . This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting.” San Francisco Chronicle 
  “This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy . . . You can’t stop reading. Or laughing.” The Sun 
  “Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life.” Publishers Weekly 
  “Fun to be had with a full cast of endearingly zany villagers . . . and the ever gently intuitive Miss Seeton.” Kirkus Reviews 
  “Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple.” Ogden Nash 
  “I think, on the whole, Miss Seeton is the most loveable and entertaining of any of today’s fiction detectives. May she live forever.” London Mystery Selection

  Kiersten has always been a fan of personal massagers, and her favorite is the PleasureWand 3000, a powerful vibe that plugs in the wall and brings instant release. Kiersten thinks she loves her wand more than she loves sex, and she can't imagine why she'd need a real girlfriend with the buzzing beast in her bed.
  But when her PleasureWand's cord frays over time, almost blowing a fuse and threatening to electrocute her in the process, Kiersten finds herself in the market for a new toy. The wand isn't cheap, and the website she buys it from takes her money and runs, leaving her out of cash and out of luck. 
  But a local sex toy shop called Amaryllis has the PleasureWand in stock, so Kiersten decides to swing by on her lunch break. She's a little embarrassed to be seen in such a place, to be honest, but sexy owner Amy soon puts her at ease. She introduces Kiersten to her favorite vibe, a lightweight, waterproof, cordless wonder called the Genie 500, and she's more than ready to give Kiersten a demo to prove her point. 
  Can Amy's sales pitch change Kiersten's mind? Will the Genie really make all her dreams come true?

  The Eye of Nefertiti - A...

  Now a New Yorker, the Pharaoh’s cat--the ancient Egyptian feline with human powers--travels back in time to free Egypt’s legendary Queen Nefertiti from a horrific curse, discovering firsthand why her mummy has never been found and her famous bust is missing one eye. 
  As in the first Pharaoh’s cat novel, the cat is quick-witted, wisecracking narrator as well as free-spirited, ever-curious protagonist, and the story he tells is an exotic, imaginative, spell-binding tragicomedy. The Eye of Nefertiti also interweaves feline and human, past and present, natural and supernatural. It too contains numerous surprises, twists and turns, intriguing characters, both human and animal, fascinating revelations about ancient Egyptian history and culture. Added to all this is an ingenious use of the Tarot and Italian opera. 
  The cat is living happily in New York City with the High Priest, Elena, daughter of an Egyptologist, and their infant son, the cat’s beloved Pharaoh reincarnated, when the supernatural gradually intrudes in the form of phantasms, the plot of an Italian opera, a Tarot card reading, and an unexpected summons to present-day Bath Spa disguised as an opportunity for Elena. 
  She and the little Pharaoh travel conventionally while the cat and the High Priest take the little boat they use for time travel and are diverted to ancient Stonehenge for a brief stop-over. The figure at the center of their encounter with the Druids has been prefigured in the cat’s phantasms, the Italian opera, and the Tarot reading, all his uncanny experiences being in accord with a single design. 
  Reunited with Elena and the infant Pharaoh in Bath, the cat and the High Priest discover a secret tomb below the Georgian house where they are staying, and are soon impelled to journey to ancient Egypt in the time of Queen Nefertiti to save her from a horrific curse. They become separated as they search for Nefertiti and the cat has several adventures before finding her on his own.

  Megan West’s Scotland trip is not quite what she was expecting. Three days in and her lost luggage still hasn’t arrived, and she’s already decided her travel buddy, a co–worker she thought would be so easy to vacation with, is actually the most annoying person in the world outside of the hospital. When she stumbles upon a seriously handsome but really strange guy—who carries a sword at his hip!—she decides Scotland is not a good fit for her. If she had luggage, she’d pack it in and call it a day. 
  Graeme MacQuillan knows the witch from his time purposefully sent him forward to another century, though he isn’t exactly sure why. He strong–arms the first person he meets into helping him find his way home—without telling her the hardly credible truth, that he’s from the 14th century. The bonny lass is justly terrified but helping is in her nature so even though she thinks he’s daft, she’s soon introducing him to all the astonishing sights and sounds of the 21st century. 
  When Graeme senses a change in the air signifying the coming of witches, he instinctively takes hold of Megan’s hand. He wants to get back to his time, but he’s not ready to leave the beguiling lass behind. 
  Undeniably, Megan’s vacation just got a lot more interesting. But then her modern life, which she judged as teetering between dull and pathetic, suddenly seems quite preferable to the war and strife into which they’re plunged. Megan is furious with Graeme, who had no right to drag her through time without asking. And now she faces the most important decision of her young life: does she want to return to her own time and never again know the sweet perfection of his kiss? Or is she brave enough to follow the hope in her heart?

  For thousands of years two distinct cultures evolved unaware of one another's existence. Separated by what one culture called The Great Sea and known to the other as the Atlantic Ocean, the course of each culture's future changed irreversibly four hundred years ago. In 1620 the Mayflower delivered 102 refugees and fortune seekers from England to Cape Cod, where these two cultures first encountered one another. The English sought religious freedom and fresh financial opportunities. The Natives were recovering from the Great Dying of the past several years that left over two-thirds of their people in graves. How would they react to one another? How might their experience shape modern cross-cultural encounters?
