Written in a fluid and engaging style, Wells delves into the life of the titular character, Ann Veronica, a young woman who defies convention and seeks independence in a patriarchal society. The novel's narrative is both thought-provoking and entertaining, making it a captivating read for those interested in early feminist literature. 'Ann Veronica' stands out as a seminal work that challenges the traditional gender roles of its time. Wells' attention to detail and character development brings the story to life, painting a vivid picture of the struggles faced by women in the early 20th century. H. G. Wells, a prolific writer known for his contributions to science fiction, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of society to write 'Ann Veronica'. As a vocal advocate for social and political change, Wells infused the novel with his beliefs in gender equality and personal freedom. His nuanced portrayal of Ann Veronica reflects his progressive views and commitment to challenging societal norms.

The Beverly Malibu

Katherine V. Forrest

On Thanksgiving Day, LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield and her partner, Ed Taylor, are called to an apartment building on the edge of Beverly Hills to investigate a premeditated and pitiless murder. 
 
 
 
No one appears particularly grieved by the shocking end to old-time Hollywood director Owen Sinclair. Surely not three other tenants of the Beverly Malibu, who worked in the motion picture industry during the blacklist years and loathed Sinclair. 
 
 
 
Nor is Sinclair's latest ex-wife grieved or even his children. Nor film actress and former paramour Maxine Marlowe. Nor Dudley Kincaid, whose brilliant screenplay Sinclair stole. Nor landlady Hazel Turner, whose husband, Jerome, is deceased but not exactly gone . . .  
 
 
 
Kate sifts through tantalizing clues: a set of handcuffs fastening the murdered man to his bed of death; an album of a Wagner opera; a bourbon bottle lightly dosed with arsenic; a silver frame missing its photo. 
 
 
 
She is also in a quandary over her fascination with Paula Grant, who discovered the murdered man. Until she is suddenly confounded by a wholly new aspect of herself uncovered by Aimee Grant, Paula Grant's remarkably beautiful young niece . . .
