  Ethel Lina White was born on the 2nd April 1876 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in Wales. 
  Her family were wealthy due to her father’s invention of a waterproofing material used, initially, for the London Underground. 
  Ethel started writing when she was only a child and published essays and poems in children’s papers.  She was also a talented artist. 
  As an adult she began to write short stories and, some years later, she started writing novels.  At the time she was working for the Ministry of Pensions in London but resigned in order to accept an advance of ten pounds and begin a career as a novelist.  It was this determination that helped her become one of the best-known crime writers in the English-speaking world during the 1930’s and 40’s. 
  Perhaps her best-known books are the ‘The Lady Vanishes’ and ‘The Spiral Staircase’ both of which were originally entitled differently but were republished with new names after being filmed.  Whilst today she lacks attention, in her day she was as popular and as highly regarded as Agatha Christie. 
  Ethel Lina White died in London on the 13th of August 1944 of ovarian cancer.  She was 68. 
  In her will she made a bizarre condition in order for her sister to receive her estate of £5737.  It read: "I give and bequeath unto Annis Dora White all that I possess on condition she pays a qualified surgeon to plunge a knife into my heart after death."   In life she had a fear of being buried alive.

  No human being is perfect. But suppose we were able to create machines which are like humans only better? Cleverer, more beautiful, more empathetic, more rational....
  The Universal Robotics Corporation is busy greening the desert but empathetic humanoid robots are also in development. The decision to trial them to resolve a dysfunctional marriage ends in catastrophe. When the experiment is extended to three young, single employees it exposes their differing attitudes to relationships and the opposite sex. Agronomist Stella Mayfield's concerns aren't shared by the male participants. Seven years on, Stella is back in the UK. Humanoid robots are everywhere and a robot is caring for her elderly mother. The unease Stella felt in the desert returns.
  HC Denham gives a unique, often humorous insight into the attitudes of males and females to relationships with the opposite sex and to humanoid AI as it permeates society. But the question hangs in the air:
  Are we creating our own evolutionary successors?

  A woman abandons her city life and marriage to return to the place she grew up, finding solace in a small religious community hidden away on the stark plains of the Monaro. 
   
  She does not believe in God, doesn't know what prayer is, and finds herself living this strange, reclusive life almost by accident. As she gradually adjusts to the rhythms of monastic life, she ruminates on her childhood in the nearby town. She finds herself turning again and again to thoughts of her mother, whose early death she can't forget. 
   
  Disquiet interrupts this secluded life with three visitations. First comes a terrible mouse plague, each day signalling a new battle against the rising infestation. 
   
  Second is the return of the skeletal remains of a sister who left the community decades before to minister to deprived women in Thailand - then disappeared, presumed murdered. 
   
  Finally, a troubling visitor to the monastery pulls the narrator further back into her past. 
   
  With each of these disturbing arrivals, the woman faces some deep questions. Can a person be truly good? What is forgiveness? Is loss of hope a moral failure? And can the business of grief ever really be finished? 
   
  A meditative and deeply moving novel from the Stella Prize-winning author of The Natural Way of Things and The Weekend.

  Danica Grey and her fae dragon partner, Jilly, are ready to put their lives on the line for one last stand. Zoey, a brilliant savant, is their charge, but Moriarty and his deadly partner, Solene, are just as determined to capture her—and kill anyone who gets in their way. 
   
  Danica thought the answers to their enemies' intentions were within reach, but the truth only opens a floodgate of new questions. 
   
  They know their foes' names, but little else. The final showdown is looming, and their survival depends on uniting everything they've got—brains, brawn, magic, and cutting-edge technology. 
   
  Moriarty is no longer lurking in the shadows—he's stepping into the field for the first time, armed with magical tech that's unlike anything Danica's seen before. And to make things worse, Solene, his partner in poison and death, is right by his side. It's going to take more than just strategy to win this fight. It's going to take a miracle. 
   
  But if anyone can defy the odds, it's Danica and her crew. They've been battered, bruised, and pushed to the edge before, but they've always come out on top. 
   
  The question is–– can they do it one more time to save Zoey and themselves?
