  The Heads of Cerberus - The Book...

  This book, set in a dystopian Philadelphia in 2118, invented a new, creepier kind of dystopian Sci Fi.Perhaps the first science fantasy to use the alternate time-track, or parallel worlds, idea. -Groff ConklinA pioneering variation on the parallel worlds theme. -Boucher and McComasA highly imaginative work, one of the classics of early pulp fantastic fiction -Everett F. Bleiler“Stevens, to her credit, manages to keep her story taut and suspenseful, at the same time that she injects pleasing snippets of humor here and there, mainly thanks to the character of Arnold Bertram, a portly thief who had tried to rifle Trenmore’s safe back home and had also been thrown into the year 2118 as a result.The author presciently posits the coming of a second World War, and yet her Philadelphia of two centuries hence still somehow contains “clanging street cars,” shooting galleries, and “movie” theaters. (I love that fact that Stevens puts the word “movie” in quotes; first used around 1911, it must have still seemed a newish, slangy word by 1918!) A pseudo-scientific explanation, at the novel’s end, for all the mishegas that had come before goes far in claiming for the book its place of pride in the early sci-fi field... a most entertaining and atmospheric read.”-Sandy Ferber, fantasyliterature.com

  Imagine one day, a group of charismatic strangers stumble into your life. They tell you stories of their travels and adventures, igniting your imagination and feeding your desire to run away. 
  Imagine they invite you to come along. To see a side of life most will never see, to do things most will never do, and to experience life with no limits, no rules and no safety net. 
  Would you go? 
  Beth always dreamed of being popular. Of living a life filled with fun, travel, and adventure. A life without rules or expectations. A life worthy of sharing online. These hopes and aspirations were nothing more than distant dreams until a chance encounter with a young drifter. 
  Beautiful, outgoing, and brimming with confidence, River is everything Beth wishes she could be. She introduces Beth to her tight-knit family of misfits and vagabonds; Zac, the strong, watchful protector; Cash, a charismatic con man always ready with a witty remark; Finn, feral is the word the others used to describe him. His disdain for outsiders is a barrier for most; and Teague, thoughtful and calm with his funny Cajun accent, he is the light against Finn’s darkness. 
  Enthralled by their stories of adventure and travel, when they invite Beth to come along, she jumps at the chance. 
  They show her a world of hidden beauty, petty theft, cheap whiskey and limitless freedom. A world where the next grand adventure is only a train hop away. A world without safety, where darkness roams freely, unrestrained by rules or authorities. When all hell breaks loose, Beth wonders if she made a horrible mistake. Who are these people? Was she really safe with them? Would she be willing to give up her budding online fame for safety?

  'A slew of satisfying narrative twists' Barry Forshaw, Crime Time
  It appeared that Helen McAllister – for whatever reason – had simply got out of the car sometime the previous morning, taking her keys and bag and phone with her, and walked away…
  Ten years later there has been no trace found of the teacher who went missing from a small village on the last day of the school year.
  Her lover Alice Hauser's accusations of impropriety on the part of the senior investigating officer, DI Thomas Maitland, led to his early retirement, his life in disrepair.
  Maitland now lives alone, consumed with grief over the death of his wife two years ago.
  Then he's involved in a road accident in which a man is killed. The victim's twin, John, is convinced that Maitland is to blame for his brother's death.
  And when John meets Alice, they are determined that Maitland should pay the price they demand of him…

  When banners proclaiming the innocence of James Stewart spring up at the gravesite of his famous namesake—a clan leader who was falsely accused of murder and hanged almost three hundred years ago in a miscarriage of justice that still resonates—investigative reporter Rebecca Connolly smells a story. 
   
   
    
  The publicity stunt was clearly meant to draw attention, but what's behind it and why now? The young Stewart has been in prison for ten years for the brutal murder of his lover, lawyer and politician Murdo Maxwell, in his home in Appin, near the site of the Stewart monument. Rebecca soon discovers that, prior to his murder, Maxwell believed he was being followed, and his phones were tapped. What would justify a government phone tap against a public figure? And why is a Glasgow crime boss so interested? As Rebecca keeps digging, she finds herself in the sights of Inverness crime matriarch Mo Burke, who wants payback for the damage caused to her family in a previous case. 
   
   
    
  Set against the stunning backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, A Rattle of Bones is a tale of injustice and mystery, and the enduring echo of the past in the present.

  Fanged trouble comes to the magical small town of Crimson Cove. Who's getting bitten? 
   
   
   
  How did the werewolf lose his head? 
   
   
   
  No, it's not a joke. Crimson Cove is awash with warring werewolves. And I'm not purring. Werewolves mean trouble. 
   
   
   
  And then there's the continued invasion of non-magicals. Why are they here? How do they keep sneaking in? It's another thing that has my fluffy murder mittens twitching. 
   
   
   
  When top werewolf negotiator, Emron Laker, loses his head, the trouble bubbles and risks boiling over as werewolves rampage and demand justice, putting my wonderful witch and all the non-magicals at risk. 
   
   
   
  As reluctant as I am to put my witch in harm's way, we want the werewolves gone, so offer our services as part of our animal control duties to sniff out the killer (well, I'll do the sniffing!) 
   
   
   
  We find troubled packs, unhappy bonds, and a den of issues to hunt through. Things are about to get frisky. Want to tag along and see what clues we discover?
