  A good Healer, they say, must use his Gift professionally. Really? No one in my past world would spout such nonsense! Everyone there knew full well what a Healer from the Order was capable of . . . And they also know that a Healer doesn't have to kowtow to anybody. 
   
   
   
  But now, I'm no longer in that world. And in this world, I am not only a great Healer, I am also a great count, one that can do far more than heal, as my enemies know full well. But little do they know that I've only just begun! 
   
   
   
  I'm on my way to restoring the Bulatov Family's fiefdom, and I have everything I need now, including forces from another world. Yes, why wouldn't Offworlders want to serve me? After all, the benefits I provide are excellent, especially the health care. 
   
   
   
  Of course, in return they must work hard . . . What can I say? Either work, or keep out of my way!

  In the course of one ordinary day, Atlanta fast food worker Calvin loses his girlfriend, his band and his best friend. Suddenly, everything he had planned to spend the rest of his life doing seems to have flown away. 
  Told with insight, sensitivity and deep respect for what it takes to make a life in music, King Cal is a coming-of-age novel about a determined young man who starts with little, aims to earn a little more and has to decide whether success, or even clinging to his dream, is worth the sacrifice. 
  “King Cal is a glorious and gripping story of the early days of a musician's life: that uncertain, chaotic time when a young dreamer begins to transform into an artist. I have never read a more accurate or emotionally affecting portrayal of that transformation. Warmth, humor, sadness, grime, joy, feeling broken, being broke — they’re all in the mix. 
  Having lived through my own musical coming-of-age, I’m often dismayed by just how wrong most music-themed books get it. Not King Cal. This is one of the few novels about music that has felt utterly real to me. As the book wound its way to a deeply moving end, I was both desperately hoping that it would all work out for Calvin and at the same time thanking Pete McDade for getting it so right.” 
  —Dan Wilson, singer (Semisonic), songwriter ("Closing Time," "Not Ready to Make Nice," "Someone Like You"), Grammy-winner 
  "When I am asked by parents of kids who are considering a life in popular music if I would recommend that path, I say that if their child can even imagine doing anything else with their life, they should do that. But if the kid can't conceive of any future but music, I urge them to offer encouragement. Now I can just tell them to read this book." 
  —Elliot Easton, lead guitarist for the Cars and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

  Little Matsue and other tales

  Larry Boyd

  Little Matsue and Other Tales encompasses a magnificent thread of entangled journeys of acceptance and resignation, but also longing, and resolution. The uniqueness of each story comes from Larry Boyd’s intricate and vivid storytelling, which allows the reader to effortlessly step into the point of view of the characters and connect to their most nuanced emotions. From the graphic, imaginative way a little girl interprets the world around her, to the surprisingly relatable dynamics displayed by a family of fish, Little Matsue and Other Tales brings about the perfect blend between realistic and fictional narratives.  
  ‘Boyd boldly dances through that liminal space between child and adult until your eyes leak and your body aches. Fiercely imaginative, Little Matsue, will have you whizzing through kingdoms and time, writhing with rage, seduced by new love and building with dinosaur bones. You will laugh at the Oceanic Olympics as much as you will mourn for the strong woman you’ve just met lying in the grave. This book is insightful, a little mad and deeply enjoyable.’ Kate Liston-Mills, Dear Ibis  
  ‘A gifted storyteller with a wry, original view, Larry Boyd is equally at ease in the worlds of 12th century China or the hip-hop community. His wonderfully diverse stories are full of sly humour and unexpected twists. There’s the tragedy of a daughter of a Polish migrant navigating Australian Christmas at its ugliest, the misadventure of a servant in feudal Japan and even an ironic take on fishy tales. Boyd gets inside his characters; a child fantasising to escape feuding parents, a father struggling with his role as his baby son’s primary carer, a teenage music student inspired by his first sexual experience. This is story telling at its traditional best.’ 
  Sally Blakeney, journalist

  When the ill-fated maiden voyage of the Titanic leaves Olivia Davenport orphaned, she’s sent to live with her guardians, the Fairchilds, in their huge Jacobean mansion. But the Fairchilds have more to worry about than a grieving young girl – with war in Europe imminent and four sons to protect. 
  Olivia feels alone and friendless. Until she hears a voice from behind the wall in her tower bedroom. A voice from a man called Seth. Convinced he’s merely a product of her grieving imagination, it’s not until after the heartbreak of war that Olivia discovers that he exists in an overlapping world, just a shudder in time away from her own. A world where the Titanic never sank… Where everything since has been just slightly… different.

  After a decade of Earthly exile, Captain John Carter is inexplicably pulled across the void of space back to the dying red planet he once called home. But the Barsoom he returns to is not the one he remembers. 
  Instead of the welcoming arms of his beloved Dejah Thoris, Carter materializes in the terrifying Valley Dor—the mythical Martian afterlife that is no paradise, but a gruesome slaughterhouse guarded by monstrous plant-men and towering white apes. 
  Reunited with his fiercely loyal friend, the green Martian warrior Tars Tarkas, Carter must slash his way through the lethal labyrinths of the Golden Cliffs. Here, the cruel and beautiful Holy Therns feast upon the devout, and an entirely new, insidious enemy attacks from the skies. The gods of Mars is a masterclass in planetary romance and swashbuckling adventure, delivering pulse-pounding swordplay, incredible alien landscapes, and an undying love story that spans the solar system. 
  Sharpen your long-sword and step into a world of breathtaking peril and unimaginable wonders!
