  Our best loved friends may not even be human but animals of the moggy and mutt variety.  Many of us wax lyrical about our friends in the animal world no matter the distractions available in the real and rather more demanding world of partners, children, parents and friends.   
   
  So often then that when the media brings news of appalling tragedies across the globe the distress of cruelty to animals seems to gather more immediate attention.   
   
  In this volume our literary wordsmiths turn their attention to tales that make our hearts wince and our emotions bleed.

  In search of lost glitter is a memoir of love and loss written in many stories, many only 100-words long. It is about how an ordinary and unremarkable life was turned upside down when Sarah lost her husband in 2010.This is how she held things together, not a guide of how to survive grief but maybe some of her stories will give you hope and help you find some lost glitter along the way.When a loved one dies it is often the seemingly insignificant detailsthat stir up the brightest memories.The colour of the top worn for the funeral,the sound of matches rattling in a coat pocket,eating sausages and chips for Christmas dinner.These are the fragments of lost glitter.What other people are saying"Tender and true and beautifully written."Stephanie Butland - Found in a Bookshop“Sarah has dealt with potentially heavy subject-matter – young widowhood, cancer, and the loss of her Dad – with a light touch and sprinkles of humour, giving the reader plenty of space to breathe and reflect. I felt like I had spent a lovely weekend holed up somewhere cosy with her, listening to her stories and getting a real sense of her relationships, and hopes for the future. In particular her honesty about mental health and difficult times is refreshing – it would have been so easy to have fallen into the trap of trying to be ‘inspiring’ non-stop.”Helen Anderson - Sagrada Familia“I read the first few lines and I was hooked. This is a powerfully written memoir, poured out from the heart. Taking the form of short stories, the book makes you feel like a fellow traveller through significant periods of Sarah’s life - the good times, the hard times and the tragedy. Sarah writes so authentically that I felt I was right there with her, witnessing her heartbreak and sharing in her times of joy. This is compelling reading for anyone dealing with grief or wanting to help someone who is going t

  Every Weapon I Had - A Vietnam...

  The story of a Green Beret commander's heroism during the Vietnam War, and the long fight to recognize his bravery.When Col. Paris Davis was selected to lead one of the Green Beret A-teams organizing resistance to Communist incursions into South Vietnam, his commanding officer warned him that some of his soldiers would resent his authority. This was no surprise; there were only a handful of Black officers in the Special Forces. Davis quickly won the respect of his soldiers, and would soon fight beside him as bullets snapped past and mortars exploded overhead.On June 18th, Davis led a group of inexperienced locals and Special Forces soldiers in an attack on a Viet Cong base in Bong Son. They were met by a superior enemy force, and Davis led the charge in a grueling firefight. He was seriously wounded, but he disobeyed a direct order to retreat until he dragged three injured Green Berets off the battlefield to safety.Every Weapon I Had is an inspiring tale of valor and sacrifice, set against the backdrop of major escalations in both the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement. It is also a story of deferred honor and delayed recognition; Davis earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his actions, but his nomination for the Congressional Medal of Honor was repeatedly “lost.” No official reason has ever been given for this oversight, but those who fought to correct it believe that it was motivated by racial prejudice. Davis was finally awarded the Medal in 2023, 58 years after the battle.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  The Lady in the Lake is a real-life murder mystery and true crime memoir that reads like a thriller. A dark secret resurfaces after 21 years in the English Lake District to devastate a family. 
   
   
  With powerful themes of murder and denial, the story spans five decades, from the 1970s to the present day. 
  In August 1997 Jeremy Craddock is a young newspaper reporter in the Lake District. When divers discover a suspicious package weighted down in Coniston Water he is thrust into the heart of the biggest story of his career, a haunting murder mystery that will stay with him for the next quarter of a century. Inside the package is the body of a woman. Police identify her as Carol Park, a young wife and mother missing since 1976. 
   
   
  Now – 21 years later – suspicion falls on her husband, Gordon Park, who is on holiday in France with his third wife. Shocked, he returns to a media frenzy and detectives’ questions. Park is arrested on suspicion of murder. The press nickname the case ‘the lady in the lake’, borrowing the title of Raymond Chandler’s classic detective novel. 
   
   
  As one of the first journalists on the case, Jeremy Craddock bears witness to a strange and dark murder investigation that grips the world’s media. At Park’s later trial, a picture emerges of Gordon and Carol’s open marriage, their infidelities and Park’s controlling nature towards his young wife. Park is convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. But did he really murder his wife and drop her body into the murky depths of Coniston Water? The jury and Carol Park’s brother believe he did. But Park never stops protesting his innocence. 
   
  With his now adult children at his side, he begins a long fight to clear his name. Will he succeed? 
   
   
  The Lady in the Lake is a newspaper reporter’s account of a chilling murder case and his re-investigation a quarter of a century later. Using police and court documents, original press coverage and new interviews with detectives, witnesses, lawyers and members of the victim’s family, Jeremy Craddock tells the full story of this shocking case for the first time.
