    A powerful bestseller from the country’s number one storyteller. 
    Read by Carole Boyd. 
    In a 1930s setting, LIVE THE DREAM tells the story of three people caught up in a tangle of love and hatred which threatens to tear them apart forever. 
    Handsome, wealthy and fair-minded, Luke Hammond could have the world at his feet. Instead, he has the world on his shoulders. Consumed by sadness, Luke’s only respite from his respectable life is on a Tuesday, when he heads off to seek solace in a hideaway deep in the calm heart of the woods. 
    Locked in his thoughts and dreams, living his humble ‘Tuesday’ life, Luke’s quiet sadness intrigues Amy Maitland, a bright young woman whom Luke seems at first not to notice. Amy finds herself wondering more and more about this elusive man. 
    But Amy worries too about Daisy, her beloved best friend, who masks the misery of a difficult home life. Amy knows that under the bravado and humour there is a desperate woman, searching for stability and love – seemingly at any cost. Calling Luke her ‘Tuesday Man’, Daisy falls head over heels in love with him. Although he’s aloof and appears to have little time for romance, she means to have him. 
    As Amy grows increasingly uneasy about Daisy, she fails to realise that Luke is quietly falling in love with her. And unwittingly she finds herself drawn into a dangerous position, not of her making… 
    In this riveting work of fiction, Josephine Cox, the Sunday Times bestselling author, weaves a tale that is as captivating as it is heartbreaking. The characters struggles and triumphs will keep you on the edge of your seat, making LIVE THE DREAM a top pick for any reader. 
    For fans of Lesley Pearse (A Lesser Evil), Anna Jacobs (Replenish the Earth), Lizzie Lane (Tough Times on Coronation Close), Annemarie Brear (The Riverside Maid), and Pamela Kavanagh (THE LONELY FURROW a spellbinding historical family saga).

    Valerie's Tale is a story about a little girl with a heart filled with courage and strength, living in a world plagued with war and where magic is divided by clerics, who believe in using magic conservatively, and mages, who use it for whatever their heart's desire.  
    Valerie is forced to grow up quickly when her mother contracts a life threatening illness, one that a cleric cannot heal. With hopes of saving her, Valerie seeks out an old wizard, a gentle man with a silly personality and unusual powers to heal her. But she ends up getting frozen and brought to the future filled with odd machines powered by steam. She meets an old friend, who offers to help her through this dark new world, mostly occupied by dark mages who dominate the land with their dangerous magic, and find the kindly old wizard who helped her in her childhood.  
    In her adventure, she must learn to accept things that she can't control, and she learns of patience, death, and the price of messing with forces they don't understand. But could magic really be such a dangerous force to mess with?
