  Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith was born in Birkenhead, Merseyside in England on the 7th August 1902 into a privileged family steeped in titles and politics. 
   
  Part of her education was at Miss Douglas's school at Queen's Gate.  Here she met and befriended several other young women that the British tabloid press would later call the ‘Bright Young Things’, a group of bohemian young aristocrats and socialites in 1920s London. 
   
  Smith's paternal great-grandmother, was said to have been a Gypsy, and this sparked an early and life-long interest with the Romani people, she even went so far as to learn to read and speak the language, which she called ‘musical and broken.’ 
   
  Her life was full of adventure and mishaps.  A mistaken encounter with a man she thought could help her into the film business turned out to threats of marriage and death from a man wanted for the murder of his father.  She was even arrested twice.  Once for listing her career as a journalist and another, in Rome, for walking around in a sleeveless dress. 
   
  Smith began her career writing society gossip columns for various newspapers but later received an offer to write for the newly-formed Great Carmo Circus, with which she travelled for several years and was the source material for many of her books. 
   
  Her first novel, ‘Red Wagon’, was published when she was 28 and it was an immediate bestseller.  A prolific writer several of her works were also adapted for films. 
   
  Smith also wrote ghost stories and others flavoured with evil.  Her support for the Conservative party may be forgiven but her attributed quote to be a ‘warm adherent of General Franco’ less so. 
   
  Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith died on the 20th October 1945 in Westminster after a long illness. She was 43.

  She was born a slave—but her sword will shape history. 
  1002, Attundaland, Sweden. A harsh winter grips the northern lands, where Norse warriors raid and powerful jarls scheme for dominance, their lives ruled by the sword and the old gods. 
  Sot, rescued as a child from the brutality of Danish slave markets, grows up under the fierce protection of Roar Bjornsson, a famed warrior and trader. Known for her dark skin and amber eyes—marks of a distant land she cannot remember—Sot is both admired and feared, called witch and warrior in equal measure. But beneath her poised exterior, she wrestles with a restless heart and an aching desire for identity. 
  When she leaves the comfort of Roar’s protection to follow the enigmatic Saxon warrior Eadric, Sot plunges into a world fraught with treachery and bloodshed. Thrust into deadly political intrigues and battles with ruthless enemies, she must confront not only external threats but also the deep-seated fears and prejudices against her unique heritage. 
  But betrayal comes swiftly, and unexpected alliances and forbidden attractions test Sot’s loyalty, courage, and resolve. As tensions rise and old powers clash, Sot's quest for recognition and honour places her at the heart of a conflict that could alter the fate of the Norse kingdoms forever. 
  In a world where destiny is forged in blood and ice, Sot’s fight for freedom and identity will ignite a legend. 
  This gripping saga of courage, betrayal, ambition, and survival is perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, and Viking-inspired tales. 
  She will defy gods and kings to forge her own fate.

  WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN meets THE VEGETARIAN in this chilly and chilling epistolary novel of four characters locked in a frightening cycle of vengeance and comeuppance. Mira is a desperate young woman, hired by a wealthy single mother to tutor her lonesome son, Yuchan. But Mira is not who she presents herself to be; she is haunted by the death of her own family and motivated by the dark pulse of vengeance. Yuchan was cruel to Mira’s mother. A kind of cruelty she can’t ever forgive.   And then there is Jiwon, the boy’s mother, a bad mother, Mira thinks—or so Jiwon tells herself she must not be.   But as Mira spends more time in the family’s sprawling home, she begins to suspect Yuchan is not the culprit she’s after. Someone else in the family has been pulling the strings. Someone with a deviant plan she can’t begin to imagine.   Structured around four different letters and journal entries: Mira's, Jiwon's reply, Yuchan's younger brother's diary entry and, finally, Mira's own written recollection. Each new section brings us deeper into a web of cruelty, consequence, and closer to the truth.
