  One part jealousy. Two parts rage. Somewhere in Abby's sleepy little village, the perfect murder is brewing . . . 
   
   
   
  Abby enters the Maybridge Flower Show, never dreaming for one moment that she'll win the gold. Or an invitation to appear on telly, alongside gardening legend Daisy Dashwood! Some people say Daisy's a tiresome diva. But starry-eyed Abby can't wait for the cameras to start rolling. Until . . . 
   
   
   
  Daisy staggers out on stage. Only to collapse at Abby's feet. 
   
   
   
  Her demise might seem like a tragic accident, resulting from a cocktail of booze and hay-fever medicine. But Abby's not so sure. She starts digging, to uncover shifty suspects at every turn. From snarky costars to a toy-boy lover, they all had reason to want Daisy dead and gone. 
   
   
   
  And that's not the only puzzle playing on Abby's mind . . . 
   
   
   
  In life, Daisy went nowhere without her trusty caddy of healing teas. Now it's vanished. 
   
   
   
  What if someone's been tampering with Daisy's favorite cuppa?

  In this gripping novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a top Hollywood executive seeks a new beginning when his career takes an unplanned turn.  
   
  As the head of a prestigious movie studio for nearly two decades, Andy Westfield has had every conceivable professional luxury: a stunning office on the forty-fourth floor, a loyal assistant who can all but read his mind, access to a private jet and company cars. The son of Hollywood royalty,  
  Andy always put his career before his marriage, and now, besides his daughter and young grandchildren, it’s the only thing he truly loves. 
   
  But then Andy’s world is upended. The studio is sold, and the buyer’s son demands the top seat. Out of a job and humiliated, Andy spirals. When his head clears, he decides to get as far away from Los Angeles as possible until the dust settles and he can find a new way forward. 
   
  Andy signs a six-month rental agreement for a luxurious home in a tiny, forgotten coastal town two hours from London. When he arrives, he hires a local woman to help get his affairs in order. A former journalist, Violet Smith is at a crossroads as well, and this temporary job is exactly what she  
  needs to tide her over. But when Violet leaves the manuscript of her unfinished novel behind after work one day, Andy lets his curiosity get the best of him and is captivated by a story that begs to be adapted for the big screen. Could this be the miracle they’ve both been looking for? 
   
  In Second Act, Danielle Steel presents a heartening tale of how challenging times give way to opportunities and an original outline does not always contain the perfect ending.

  Monster Hunting 201

  Since the day I turned into a Venator, I had been doing everything on my own. From tracking monsters to setting traps, I could count on no one but myself. 
   
   
   
  Luckily, things have changed. With the creation of the first Lodge in centuries, I now have recruits to follow in my footsteps, recruits who each have their own special class and abilities. 
   
   
   
  Still, that doesn't mean that I can slack off. The Zinoss Jungle is far from a safe place. There are myriad other monsters roaming the surface and Mulrand, the terrifying Titan who's reigning over this particular region. 
   
   
   
  If we want to have a chance to defeat him and bring villagers to the surface, we need to grow our ranks and power. Thankfully, as I push further into the jungle, I stumble upon a few new villages that might give us that edge that we lacked: new technology, miners, metal, engineers, as well as a few more recruits. 
   
   
   
  The more I hunt down those monsters, the more I can feel the malicious effects of the Hunter's Stare, the condition known to drive a Venator insane until he turns into a Dread Beast. I will need to find answers to that sentence, especially now that I have other fellow hunters who could fall victim to it.

  sideways from the mortals around them. Many are connected; some are puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit. Spanning a decade of writing, Still So Strange is Amanda Downum's first collection of short fiction, and includes stories originally released  
  in Strange Horizons, Realms of Fantasy, and Weird Tales, as well as original, unpublished work.

  Revenge has no deadline...and endless rage. 
  Dr. Autumn Trent returns to Virginia after successfully assisting the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit yet again. Part of her heart remains in Florida with her long-lost sister whose trail has evaporated, but she moves forward to focus on her work as a forensic and criminal psychologist. 
  Intent on doing just that, she heads to Virginia State Hospital, where the prodigy of The Preacher awaits her return. Justin Black becomes the least of her worries when a new case practically falls in Autumn’s lap. 
  Murder has its grip on the mental institution, and all signs point toward one suspect. Even though the case appears to solve itself, Autumn thinks the team is being led astray. Uncovering the truth is only half of Autumn’s battle. She must first catch the killer before the killer catches her. 
  Autumn’s Rage, the fourth book in Mary Stone’s Autumn Trent Series, is a topsy-turvy ride through twisted criminal minds that will take your breath away.
