  Prudence - The Shackleford...

  In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
  Prudence Shackleford had not expected to be a spinster at three and twenty, but unfortunately, as she’d quickly discovered, very few men were prepared to tolerate either her ghoulish sense of humour, or her macabre taste in literature. And those were the ones she’d got as far as holding a conversation with. 
   
  When invited to London by the Duke and Duchess of Blackmore to witness the Coronation of King George IV, she was equal parts horrified and intrigued. Especially after a chance meeting with a Bow Street Runner on the trail of conspirators it was feared were planning to murder the King. 
   
  Jamie Fitzroy had been a Bow Street Runner for five years. In that time he’d risen swiftly up the ranks, gaining a reputation for both ruthlessness and guile. Such were his successes in ridding London's streets of thieves and murderers, his name had become almost legendary. 
   
  But in the wake of the Cato Street Conspiracy, he was now on the trail of a gang intending to assassinate the King during his own Coronation. And with less than two weeks to go, and a London packed to bursting, the stakes had never been higher. 
   
  The last thing he had time for was a russet haired chit who was too ripe and ready by half – even if she did haunt his dreams every night… 
   
  Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...

  The ghost of Ambrose Bierce, American writer and civil war Union soldier, has been displaced from the home he had been haunting. Enlisting the aid of a "haunting agent," he finds a new residence that has the requisite dark history and terrible secret that makes it appropriate for haunting. Here he meets new spirits who reside in this version of the afterlife, a middle place between life and the ultimate destination. Against his intentions, Bierce becomes caught up in the unsolved mystery of his new haunt. In partnership with an old friend, a Buddhist priest named "Sid" who has inhabited the spirit world for 25 centuries, he reluctantly involves himself  in the matters of still living people. Bierce and his friend also become aware of the presence of mysterious "others" who are spirits who never held human form. Bierce, Sid, and other new spirit friends ultimately find themselves as part of a quest to save a human life, rescue another spirit from oblivion, and discover the identity of the "others."

  I live in Springfield, Ohio. (Don't worry - my cat is safe.) 
  I'm pushing thirty. 
  Anndd . . . my career sucks. 
  On top of all that, my elderly although well-meaning landlady has made it her life's mission to make sure I walk down the aisle. But this time - she's gone too far! She rented the other side of my duplex to a guy she claims is hot eye candy, and get this: he has his own business! 
  Yep! He is 'The Bug Guy - Licensed to Kill.' 
  He and I did not get off on the right foot for a slew of reasons. But then - my 30th birthday bash happened and in a rare departure from my normal behavior, I totally lost all social inhibitions (with the help of tequila) and awoke to . . . total confusion! Did I mention I was totally naked and The Bug Guy's tee shirt was under my bed? 
  Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder - well, I was proven oh-so-wrong!

  The Women's Festival

  Aristophanes

  In The Women’s Festival, Aristophanes crafts a hilarious and provocative comedy centered on gender conflict, theatrical satire, and religious ritual. The play follows the famous tragedian Euripides, who fears that the women of Athens will punish him at the Thesmophoria, a secret female-only festival honoring Demeter, for his unflattering portrayals of women in his plays. To counter this, he enlists his relative Mnesilochus to disguise himself as a woman and infiltrate the gathering. Chaos erupts when Mnesilochus is discovered, leading to a series of farcical escapes, mistaken identities, and witty parodies of Euripides’ own tragedies. Through sharp dialogue and slapstick humor, Aristophanes critiques both Athenian misogyny and the dramatic arts, offering a bold commentary on gender roles, social customs, and the power of satire in classical Greek society.

  Celebrate Adrian Mole's 50th Birthday with this new edition of the FIFTH BOOK in his diaries, where Adrian faces divorce, fatherhood and (short-lived) television stardom . . . 
   
  Adrian Mole is thirty, single and a father. 
   
  His cooking at a top London restaurant has been equally mocked ('the sausage on my plate could have been a turd') and celebrated (will he be the nation's first celebrity offal chef?). 
   
  And the love of his life, Pandora Braithwaite, is too busy as the newly elected MP for Ashby-de-la-Zouch to notice him. 
   
  Frustrated, disappointed and undersexed, Adrian despairs until a letter from his past changes everything . . . 
   
  'With the Mole books, Townsend has an unrivalled claim to be this country's foremost practising comic novelist' MAIL ON SUNDAY 
   
  'Adrian Mole really is a brilliant comic creation. Every sentence is witty and well thought out, and the whole has reverberations beyond itself' THE TIMES 
   
  'One of the greatest comic creations. I can't remember a more relentlessly funny book' DAILY MIRROR 
   
  'Three cheers for Mole's chaotic, non-achieving, dysfunctional family. We need him' EVENING STANDARD
