    Will Father Brown discover who killed the well-to-do ne’er-do-well? It appears as though he was stricken with the hammer of God. Is that a thing?  
G.K. Chesterton is most notable for his creation of Father Brown. This unlooked for, and often unwelcome, detective is actually not a detective. But rather, an individual self-trained to think as criminals think, for he has heard so many of their confessions. He knows how their minds work, and can piece together many things that others cannot.  
This story is from the first collection of Father Brown Stories, The Innocence of Father Brown.

What remains of humanity whispers about a plan to evacuate some of us. They claim that scientists hid away in a bunker somewhere where they retro-fitted one of their spaceships. 
We don't know if it's true, but as we watch them lead away groups of humans from the nearest habitats, we decide to chance our escape.

    This collection of short stories and poems ranges from mysterious fires that spring up from the earth to ghostly spirits roaming in a long-forgotten home to true love that is found and lost way too soon. 
There are tales of gods who have gone mad and those who have forgotten what it feels like to create and love with empathy. There are encounters that seem like normal everyday situations, but they are anything but normal. Dispersed throughout are poems that tie together the ideas of worlds within worlds and galaxies within a grain of sand.

 Featuring: "An Abyss Below Every Floor": Years of research… decades of study… and it’s all led up to this. But even with the eyes of the world upon him and the backing of the world’s most powerful billionaire, he never could have predicted the horrific truth that lies at the heart of everything.

"Buried, Frozen": The only thing that made those seemingly unending days in prison bearable was knowing what was waiting for him on the outside… but he never could have imagined what he’d find waiting for him, cold and dark at the bottom of that hole. 
"Dry Eye Syndrome": Midland City's resident superhero can fight off his nemeses all day and night... but his ultimate vulnerability might be his all too human heart.

    Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent.  Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men.   
 
In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne.   
 
After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire.  She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness. 
 
During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883.  She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge. 
 
Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life.   
 
Louisa Baldwin died in 1925.
