  Emmanuel Carrère is a renowned writer. After decades of emotional upheaval, he has begun to live successfully―he is healthy; he works; he loves. He practices meditation, striving to observe the world without evaluating it. In this state of heightened awareness, he sets out for a ten-day silent retreat in the French heartland, leaving his phone, his books, and his daily life behind. But he’s also gathering material for his next book, which he thinks will be a pleasant, useful introduction to yoga.
  
  Four days later, there’s a tap on the window: something has happened. Forced to leave the retreat early, he returns to a Paris in crisis. Life is derailed. His city is in turmoil. His work-in-progress falters. His marriage begins to unravel, as does his entanglement with another woman. He wavers between opposites―between self-destruction and self-control, sanity and madness, elation and despair. The story he has told about himself falls away. And still, he continues to live.
  
  This is a book about one man’s desire to get better, and to be better. It is laced with doubt, animated by the dangerous interplay between what is fiction and what is real. Loving, humorous, harrowing and profound, Yoga hurls us towards the outer edges of consciousness, where, finally, we can see things as they really are.

  While over to Ella's house on a visit, Maxi discovers, what he considers to be a treasure map. He, Ella, and two of her two girlfriends embark on a hilarious adventure to find the hidden treasure. Their search takes them from a scrapyard to a gay bar on an exclusive Island with many upsets in between. They hire actors from a drama class as decoys. They employ sex as a distraction. Everybody tells lies… because nobody wants to know the truth. Should they find the treasure, will it be all they hoped it would be?

  Eight childhood mates—connected through golf, friendship, and deep-seated lies—face their betrayals. 
   In small towns, there is always that group. The privileged kids—the ones who appear to have it all. But beneath the deep bond between the ‘Master’s Eight’ lies deceit. On a beautiful Australian seaside, the Master’s Eight gather once yearly for a round of golf. When a national TV network gets wind of their tradition, cameras roll to create a documentary. Little did the filmmakers know the explosive and devastating secrets this production would reveal. 
   Through dark humour, the sins of parents and their influence on family dynamics bubble on and off the course. Delving into a world of children becoming adults, the Master’s Eight must face emotional growth and, ultimately, enduring friendships despite the trauma buried for decades. 
   In Peter Dickson’s debut fiction novel, find intoxicating mystery, wit, unforgettable characters, and a childhood alliance within the pages of The Embedded Lie, as you laugh until you cry.

  In When East Met West, W.C. Tuttle brings his signature blend of wit and Western action to the story of a polished Easterner who finds himself out of his element in the rugged frontier. When city manners collide with cowboy code, sparks—and laughter—fly. What starts as a culture clash becomes an unlikely alliance as both men confront local trouble, outlaws, and misunderstandings that can only be solved with grit, charm, and a whole lot of humor. 
   With Tuttle’s trademark storytelling and a keen eye for comic timing, this Western is both a tribute to and a light-hearted twist on the genre.
