Beschreibung

Heu-Heu is a short story featuring Allan Quatermain that explores themes of superstition, fear, and the unknown within the African wilderness. The narrative follows Quatermain as he recounts a strange and unsettling experience involving mysterious forces and local beliefs. During his travels, Quatermain encounters a situation influenced by tribal traditions and unexplained phenomena. The story delves into the psychological impact of fear, as well as the tension between rational thinking and deeply rooted cultural beliefs. As events unfold, Quatermain must navigate both physical danger and the influence of superstition among those around him. The atmosphere is marked by uncertainty and suspense, creating a sense of unease that distinguishes the tale from more conventional adventure stories. Though brief, Heu-Heu offers insight into the broader world of Allan Quatermain, highlighting his role as both observer and participant in unfamiliar cultures. The story combines elements of adventure with hints of the supernatural, reflecting Haggard's interest in the mysterious aspects of African settings.

    There’s an inner strength buried somewhere inside of you, Lizzie. When you find it, it will change your life forever. I wish with all my heart that I was going to be here to see it, but of course here lies the irony: it’s only when I’ve gone that you’ll discover it. 
    Just four days ahead of her wedding, Lizzie Lavender receives a letter her mother wrote for her, a year ago, just before she died. 
    Shocked into realising life is passing her by, she runs away, heading for the West Country, where she plans to clear her head and reconsider her options. 
    Fate, however has its own ideas and Lizzie has no idea that a tiny village, two guardian angels and a host of new friends are exactly what she needs. And then there's Tom – who she can’t help but feel she's met before... 
    As she rediscovers the magic in life, will she at last take a chance to find the happiness that has so far eluded her?

    Cal McCorkle has lived in Bluewater Bay his whole life. He works two jobs to support a brother with a laundry list of psychiatric diagnoses and a great-uncle with Alzheimer’s, and his personal life amounts to impersonal hookups with his boss. He’s got no time, no ambition, and no hope. All he has is family, and they’re killing him one responsibility at a time. 
    Avery Kennedy left Los Angeles, his family, and his sleazy boyfriend to attend a Wolf’s Landing convention, and he has no plans to return. But when he finds himself broke and car-less in Bluewater Bay, he’s worried he’ll have to slink home with his tail between his legs. Then Cal McCorkle rides to his rescue, and his urge to run away dies a quick death. 
    Avery may seem helpless at first, but he can charm Cal’s fractious brother, so Cal can pretty much forgive him anything. Even being adorkable. And giving him hope. But Cal can only promise Avery “until we can’t”—and the cost of changing that to “until forever” might be too high, however much they both want it.

    For fans of Douglas Adams, PG Wodehouse, Monty Python, and Dennis Taylor. 
    It’s one thing to know that the End is coming, quite another to know the exact date and time right down to the nanosecond. 
    Such is the unhappy fate of the inhabitants of Rexos-4, a once-thriving planet that has lived under the doom of an inevitable apocalypse for millenia. Their entire philosophy of life may be summed up by the phrase “Mxtlpicam’ bnak ooligapn,” which in most languages translates to something along the lines of “What’s the bloody point?” 
    Unbeknownst to the poor Rexans, their predicament has also been the subject of the longest-running and most successful reality television series in galactic history, now translated into over 200 million languages, with closed captioning. With the end of the world just around the corner, the show is entering its all-important final season. Everyone knows how difficult it is to pull off a satisfying finale–such stakes fill even the most hard-boiled Gallywood executives with fear and trembling. 
    Join Gumpilos Tfliximop, Elvie Renfro, Rufus Camford and a cast of colorful characters as they battle the notorious showrunner (and subverter of expectations) Betty Neezquaff, all while tackling the big questions of life’s meaning and purpose with wit, warmth, and–dare I say–optimism. 
    The Final Season is The Truman Show meets the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, with just a dash of PG Wodehouse.

He never felt worthy of her and she hardly notices him, but could he be the one cowboy she can learn to trust?Jess Thompkins is a former rodeo queen who returned to her hometown to take care of her widowed father. Once, she had it all—she was popular and beautiful, and a brilliant career was hers for the taking.

All she wants is a quiet life and real love, but the only men who notice her see her looks and not her heart.Dusty Walker has a secret. A poet at heart, there are things he hasn't told his family.

But when Austen Conrad, the rich new rancher in town discovers Dusty’s hidden talents, he asks for his help to woo beautiful Jess Thompkins. The trouble is, Dusty has been in love with Jess for years, and she barely knows he exists. Dusty agrees, because he'd do anything to see her happy—even if it means she'll fall in love with someone else.Jess begins to fall for the heartfelt words that keep finding their way to her, but she's torn between her hopes that she's finally found The One, and the nagging feeling that there's more to her mysterious poet than meets the eye. As Dusty struggles with his loyalty to Austen and his own feelings for Jess, he becomes determined to prove to her that he's the one cowboy who will always be there for her. But will Jess give him a chance, or will she always see him as the quiet cowboy she's always overlooked?
