  The gang from the Crafternoon Sewcial Club are back for another adventure! 
  The Crafternoon Sewcial Club’s going from strength to strength, although Charlotte Newman is far from resting on her laurels. And why would she? After all, she’s living her perfect life. 
  So when a chance encounter highlights the sorry plight of parents unable to afford school uniforms, Charlotte is itching to develop a solution. And before too long, she’s initiated a clothing exchange program christened ReCyCool. 
  Unfortunately, news of her fledgling enterprise is painfully slow to travel around the Isle of Man, putting it in real danger of falling at the first hurdle. So if it has any chance of succeeding, Charlotte will have to arrange something spectacular to raise the profile and get the word out. 
  Then, after considerable deliberation, the solution presents itself, and the wheels of the island’s very own Sewing Bee competition are set in motion. And who better to help Charlotte host the hottest event in the island’s crafting calendar than Joyce, Beryl, Larry, and the rest of her Crafternooners?

  A collection of more than fifty tales by one of Ireland's liveliest and most popular story writers. Drawing on the rich folk culture of County Kerry, John B. Keane brings new life to old customs in his portrayals of the special holiday dreams and everyday shortcomings of not-so-ordinary country people during the Christmas season. With enough good cheer to warm the heart throughout the holiday season and all the long nights of winter, Keane's congenial volume revisits the Christmases celebrated by characters like Dotie Tupper and Johnny

  The Gang is back for another crazy adventure. The idea of the maverick racer, Dave Quirk, winning a TT was as probable as a seaside donkey winning the Grand National… But he'd been trying to do exactly that. 
  An unlikely victory would also secure the TT Farm for Frank and Stan’s charity, but it was a crumbling, financial black hole and filled with asbestos. Dave and Monty quitting their jobs to work there wasn’t fantastic timing, either. The charity needed a truckload of cash, and fast. 
  They had to go big on their fundraising ideas, so, the Isle of Man – home of the famous TT Races – would play host to a twenty-four-hour racing extravaganza and they’d need a high-profile celebrity for maximum exposure. 
  The object of Stella’s darkest desire, Guy Martin, was kidnapped was willing and eager to offer his services for the inaugural Isle ‘Le Mans’ TT. 
  They were full of good intentions, but, as usual, the path was rarely smooth for Team Frank and Stan. 
  Particularly when romance was also thrown into the mix...
