  Inspired by the true story of the last women to be hanged for witchcraft in England 
  The Village of Bideford, 1682 
  A woman rises from a shipwreck with nothing but a silk shift, a stolen name, and a necklace worth a fortune. She is taken in by three outcasts the town calls witches—an old beggar woman who laughs at The Devil, a foul-mouthed widow, and gentle Mary. 
  But fear is rising. A witchfinder has arrived. And the woman from the sea carries secrets darker than any spell… 
  A blazing story of survival, sisterhood, and fear – and of the women who refused, gloriously, to be silenced. 
  For fans of Kelly Rimmer (The German Wife), Kristy Cambron (The French Kitchen), Shari J Ryan (Broken Over), Ellie Midwood (The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz), and Lily Graham (The Last Restaurant in Paris).

  Now I'm Photogenic and Other Stories I Tell Myself is a collection of ten playfully strange and unsettling stories, some realistic and some surreal. The characters in these pages feel alienated: from their communities and relationships, on the streets of wealthy suburbs, at the doctor's office, in classrooms and swimming pools, in their own homes and their own skin. They wonder: is it better to be alone, imagining the life you want, as fantastic and strange as you wish, or is it better to be in the real world with real people, even if that means you might be hurt, embarrassed, and misunderstood? What if the intensity of it all feels equally threatening and glorious?In these stories, an angry father wishes he could be loving and gentle; a seven-year-old girl wants to be better at school and thin like her sister; an uncoordinated, awkward teenager is training to be an Olympic athlete. What would happen, we are left to wonder, if these characters brought their wild sides out into the light? What if they stopped trying to be normal?

  Bukpa had a layer of sweat on his face that he hadn’t wiped for a long time. He didn’t want to get distracted. There was a vague pain in his chest. The moment he paid attention to it, it increased. It was fear. He didn’t think it would be this frightening. He had imagined it very differently. He thought he would go there with immense bravery in his heart and they would all attack the elders’ huts of the Jandunga tribe and return with immense pride back to their own tribe. What he felt in his heart was anything but bravery and he couldn’t see pride anywhere in the distance. All he could see was doom. Chaos, pain, and death. Step into the world of the Ancient Anarchist like never before with this immersive audiobook adaptation.

  Their paths have crossed before, but not like this. Will one night together in an unlikely destination be enough? 
  What begins as an inconvenience becomes an opportunity when Seth Weston, en route to his hometown on Lake Ontario, finds himself stuck in Utica, New York, and in the company of Iris Björnsdóttir—a friend of a friend and a fascinating and beautiful woman. 
  Iris Björnsdóttir is in Utica to meet a new client. Treating herself to the old-fashioned luxury of the Wild Rose Inn takes on a new meaning when Seth walks through the door. She's always liked him, and there's no arguing his charm and good looks, or the haunting sadness he tries to pretend he isn't carrying. 
  Neither Seth nor Iris expected spending the night together would unleash feelings they don't want to ignore. 
  Collision & Coincidence is a tender, steamy one-night story with an implied future reunion. It can be read on its own, but readers familiar with Thornton may recognize the Seth and Iris from previous books.

  Virginia Woolf - Six of the Best...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
