  A heartwarming story of friendship in an imperfect world, this is binge-worthy, feel-good fiction at its best. 
   
  Meredith established the Copeton Crochet Collective (no knitters please) because it would be like having friends, only with her in charge, and because there would be no men. It comes as a nasty shock, then, when Luke, the handsome grandson of no-nonsense Edith, decides to stay and learn to crochet. 
  Claire has five children, which is why people sometimes look at her with mild concern. She longs for an Insta-perfect life like her online hero, Siobhan, but she’s drowning in domestic failure. She joins the Copeton craft group in the hope of making some non-virtual friends. 
  Yasmin is Muslim and proud. But sometimes it would be great if people stopped asking her about her hijab and instead asked who she thought was going to win MasterChef. Pregnant with her first child, she should be elated. So why can’t she stop panicking? Perhaps crocheting a set of baby clothes can get her in the right headspace. 
  With plans for a new mosque and the resettlement of refugees in the retirement village, Copeton becomes a breeding ground for Islamophobia. Together with the other members of the group, this small band of fibre-arts enthusiasts battle racism and bigotry with colour and creativity, but will the fragile threads of community be enough to bind them when more than one member has something to hide?

  Dynastic Legacy explores the far-reaching influence of three of China’s most remarkable dynasties—the Song, Ming, and Qing—each of which played a pivotal role in shaping Chinese society, governance, innovation, and culture. From the artistic brilliance and technological advances of the Song, to the maritime exploration and architectural wonders of the Ming, to the imperial dominance and eventual collapse of the Qing, this book offers a comprehensive look at how dynastic leadership shaped the trajectory of Chinese history. 
  The Song Dynasty is renowned for ushering in an age of innovation, commerce, and cultural richness. It laid the foundation for modern banking, expanded printing technology, and saw a flourishing of Confucian philosophy and visual arts. The Ming Dynasty, famous for the Forbidden City and the voyages of Zheng He, emphasized stability, infrastructure, and defense—leaving a powerful legacy of order and cultural refinement. The Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty, extended China’s borders to their greatest historical extent and governed through a complex yet effective administrative system—before internal decay and foreign pressure brought about its end. 
  With detailed accounts of key emperors, political shifts, societal structures, and enduring cultural contributions, Dynastic Legacy paints a vivid portrait of the challenges and triumphs that defined imperial rule. This volume offers readers an engaging and educational journey through the dynasties that shaped modern China, highlighting both the brilliance and the burdens of centralized power.

  It’s every parent’s nightmare—getting a call during the school day from their teenager, huddled in a classroom as the sound of bullets echo in the background. When gunmen invade a Brooklyn school, that nightmare becomes a horrific reality. Talking a suspect into sending his hostages out alive is NYPD Detective Gemma Capello’s specialty. Alerted to a school shooting at her nephew’s high school, she is one of the first officers on-scene. Detective Sean Logan and the Apprehension Tactical Team arrive next and immediately enter the school to apprehend the two shooters, while Gemma remains outside to help students evacuate. But as time stretches on, and there's no word of her nephew, her fear builds that he is one of the lost. Instead of a quickly-resolved mass shooting, one of the two shooters holes up with a group of students and their teacher as hostages, and Gemma steps in to negotiate for their survival. Floors away and armed with only her wits and the sound of her voice to convince him, Gemma fights for control of the situation even as tactical leadership pressures her for a more aggressive strategy. But for Gemma, it’s not about a quick solution. It’s about moving heaven and earth to bring everyone in that classroom home. And she’ll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.

  For the Unchipped, safety is nothing but an illusion... 
  Bill is one of the lucky few. While the other Unchipped near the City of California scavenge for food amid the constant threat of gunfire, Bill's spent the last two years at the Mansion--a haven for the select few who design products to be sold in the green city. He's safe for now... unlike his friend Kaarina, who is leading a revolution on the other side of the world. 
  Bill is the Mansion's CEO, but he's haunted by the act of violence that got him the job. Danger lies beyond the protective gates of this repressive sanctuary, but a carefree existence inside the City of California remains mysterious, intriguing... and unattainable. 
  When he discovers the trailer just outside the fence, Bill is forced to make an impossible choice. Defend the Mansion by killing the intruders... or let them live and risk everything he has?
