  Has love found him everlastingly too late? 
  "Judith Hale Everett is one of the most original authors in the Regency genre." —Mary Kingswood (author of the Silver Linings series) 
  As childhood playmates, Geoffrey Mantell and Emily Chandry forge a lifelong bond building a secret world where they can escape their unloving families. Then Geoffrey is sent away to school and goes into the army, and does not see Emily again until they are both grown. The disparity in their situations is then patently clear, and Captain Mantell cannot think of Miss Chandry as anything but a dear friend. He is called back to his regiment with few regrets. 
  Only after the horrors of Waterloo does Geoffrey comprehend all that Emily means to him, and he vows to confess his love at his earliest opportunity. But by the time he is healed enough to write to her, she does not answer. Has his realization come too late, or has something dreadful occurred? Geoffrey cannot rest until he discovers what has become of Emily, for his greatest battle will be for a second chance at love.

  Legends are somewhat deceitful. Leaving no room for sequels. Books never written. Stories never told. Until now. 
  It is the late 1800s, and Paul Cunningham is about to establish himself as one of the most iconic American folklore figures of all time by logging his way through the northern United States. What he doesn't realize is the ruinous cost of his conquest. 
  From singer songwriter David Nash, a heart felt reimagining tale of the folk legend Paul Bunyan. This is a novel that was meant be heard. Read by the author, The Man in the Pines is Nash's first novel. It is a tale of demi-god strength, love lost, hubris, and destruction. It is a story of conservation and, hopefully, redemption. It is the life of Paul Bunyan you've never heard before. 
  Included is a special rendition of the song that started it all, "Paul Bunyan's Lament," introduced and performed by the author.

  Lord Charles Sheridan and his American wife, Kate, have heard some truly awful things about Britain’s most notorious prison. But Dartmoor and its mist-shrouded environs hold special appeal for both Sheridans. Kate hopes to find inspiration for her new Gothic novel while Charles plans to implement a fingerprinting program at the prison—and arrange a meeting with one of its most infamous inmates, Samuel Spencer. He’s convinced that Spencer—a Scotsman who admitted to killing his wife—is, in fact, innocent. What’s more, he believes he has the evidence to prove it. But Spencer continues to maintain his own guilt—and, as if to confirm it, he soon stages a daring prison escape. Lord Charles and his acquaintance Arthur Conan Doyle are most perplexed by this odd turn of events. And when a body turns up on the moor, it’s up to the two men—and the clever Kate—to discover if the missing convict is connected to this murderous new case…
