  Seventy-Five Men, A Shipwreck and Me is the true story of a daring race to recover a treasure trove of silver from a torpedoed wreck lying one-and-a-half miles beneath the Indian Ocean. The quest unites seventy-five seasoned seafarers, each skilled in navigating the ocean's mysteries. However, they face an unexpected challenge: adapting to Catherine, an English woman aboard their converted drill ship.
  
  "Catherine Bailey's true story of a salvage expedition to the Indian Ocean is a vivid account of her own experience aboard a salvage vessel, the only woman in a large crew of hard men hungry to locate a vast fortune of sunken treasure. Told with energy, wit and unflappable composure, Bailey's account of the voyage is by turns exhilarating, comic and fraught with tension. A marvellous account of an extraordinary adventure."
  
  – Patrick McGrath, author of Asylum and Martha Peake.

  The colorful true adventures of an unexpected "pot-star" turned cannabis CEO in the new Wild West of California's green rush.
  Don't give anyone your real name.
  
  Never say anything to your loved ones.
  
  Always have a full tank of gas, a jump starter, and an alibi.
  The year is 2008, and the green rush is taking root in Humboldt County, California. Born and raised in this "Emerald Triangle" famous for its natural beauty and perfect cannabis-growing conditions, Ty Kearns wants no part of it. He has seen too many friends and acquaintances lose or derail their lives for the green dream, always feeling the itch for more cash and more power.
  But as a college student with tuition to pay—and few options in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression—Ty is willing to try almost anything.
  When his eccentric Uncle Bob introduces him to some local growers, the rules of the industry start to dominate Ty's double life. He spends his days taking notes in lecture halls and his nights and weekends five hours north at his secret farm in the mountains, where danger and beauty are as tangible as the plants themselves.
  Soon, he is more successful than he ever could have imagined—more successful than just about any other grower on the mountain. But he faces natural disasters, animal encounters, the gossip mill, the authorities, the highs and lows of first love, and a crowd of "trimmigrants" and pot-star groupies as he grapples with the damage that growing does to his mental health and the land itself.
  Today, Ty is the CEO of SEVEN LEAVES, a fully licensed cannabis cultivation operation with product in over four hundred stores and a commitment to 100 percent green energy. But his path to sustainable growing was long and gnarly. Growing pot wasn't Ty's plan, but he found his calling when he stepped out of the shadow of the mountain.
  A coming-of-age journey where the truth is stranger than fiction, Five Hours North tells the story of the lost pre-legalization weed scene, when the characters were larger than life and the growers were always one step from disaster.

  'I want absolutely nothing to do with this book.' – Owen Farrell 
  THREE RUGBY MEGASTARS. 
  ONE EPIC BOOK. 
  Welcome to the wild world of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.  
  They say what goes on tour stays on tour…but not this time. 
  Dive headfirst into the banter, bruises and brilliance of rugby with the team behind The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast. Packed with shenanigans, laugh-out-loud stories and a little chaos, this book offered a behind-the-scenes pass to the lives, laughs and legendary matches of three rugby megastars – on and off the pitch. 
  'There's rugby, laughter and, of course, more of me' – JAMES HASKELL 
  'The lawyers are once again on standby' – ALEX PAYNE 
  'I have no idea how this book deal was signed, but in the spirit of GBR -"One in, all in"' – MIKE TINDALL 
  Among the key questions answered are:What happened when Mike took their shambles of a podcast inside the walls of Windsor Castle to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal?How did James end up nearly killing himself on the way to the DJ set, find himself forced to save Payno from Tins and get confronted by irate fan?Why did Alex's broadcasting career sink to such depressing depths? And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert – it won't.) 
  In this epically no-holds-barred book, all three of them go behind the scenes of the hugely successful podcast, pulling back the curtain to reveal their most outrageous antics on tour – the ups, the downs and the sideways – and leaving no story untold. 
  All is unleashed. 
  This autobiography is a non-fiction account of the world of rugby, filled with humour and the kind of insider information that only comes from being on the inside. It's a memoir that takes readers on a journey through the sport, the podcasting world, and the lives of three of its biggest stars. 
  For fans of Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Christopher Andersen (Jackie After Jack), Robert Jobson (Diana), Luke Upton (Hard Men of Rugby), and Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer).

  Stetson Jeff never realized that his brain was so special, but it's true that he can learn complex, obscure languages in just a few weeks. He heads off to Oxford University for a semester to get hooked up to brain scans and learn Korean for a chance at an honorary degree. But is being a smart person something Jeff has time for right now? Heck no. Hot on the trail of A.S.P. now, Jeff leaves England headed for Egypt and then ... well, we wouldn't want to spoil the story now, would we? Will Jeff have the guts to uncover everything? And once it's all out in the open, will he be able to get past the Dallas Cowboys to save the world? Can he patch it up with May Daisy Cook? The Stetson Jeff Adventures reaches a final climax. Will Jeff be able to fulfill his wildest dreams, while coming to terms with the thing that shames him most? If you're thinking that somehow we would do that to you, turn a great modern American tall tale with a true hero (none of this antihero stuff for us) into a tragedy, you probably need to go sit in the corner for a few minutes and think again, partner.
