  An absorbing and often hilarious account of the author's 12 years as closeted cabin crew for British Airways.  It's a story of love, creativity and acceptance, the transformative power of lesbian love and more.  Told with the wit and verve that characterised her debut novel, Karen's memoir of flying as cabin crew offers a fascinating insight into the profound impact of long-haul life.  Having come out as a lesbian she is forced to go back in as colleagues advise her that it is not ok to be gay, unlike male cabin crew. Brimming with vertiginous loops and extreme globe-trotting, against a backdrop of exotic locations, hotel bars and nightclubs, Karen slowly unravels as the inability to truly be herself reverberates. This is the story of how Karen finally came into land. How she learned to look after herself and discovered her true strength. "Atmospheric and idiosyncratic, this is a memoir that entertains and emboldens" Observer

  Brother Hermitage's Christmas Gift

  Howard of Warwick

  In a modest little tale for the season, Brother Hermitage heads for London. 
  William Duke of Normandy is to be crowned King of England on Christmas day 1066, and he expects presents. 
  For reasons beyond reason the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle is invited to the ceremony and the only ones who can be let out on their own are Brother Hermitage and Wat the Weaver. 
  But it will be a rush to get there. With only 7 days to travel over 100 miles, the pair must cross a frozen and largely lawless country if they are to make it to Westminster alive. 
  And then there's the problem of Wat's attitude towards gifts in principle. He doesn't mind a reasonable exchange but simply giving sounds like a very poor deal. 
  Perhaps the days of the journey will give Brother Hermitage the opportunity to breathe the spirit of the season into his weaving friend. 
  Or perhaps not. 
  Recent reviews for Howard of Warwick continue a theme:

  Do you dare to question what’s real, who’s in charge—and what they’re willing to sacrifice to stay there? 
  Think Fargo meets Fight Club, with a dash of Bad Monkey and a side of Dexter. This story delivers sharp commentary and strange bedfellows: sophisticated internationalists, drone pilots in bunny slippers, assassins on banana seat bikes, and network news anchors with God complexes. 
  Meet Leroy O’Malley of Apalachicola, Florida: a naive and hopeful dreamer. All he wanted was a shot at the good life—a steady job, maybe even a dental plan.  
  This is the story of a man who made the mistake of believing the lies we are all told.  
  Always down on his luck, a chance encounter with a foul-mouthed - though oddly charismatic - out-of-towner at a roadside oyster shack suddenly launches Leroy on the fast-track to the life he’s always wanted.  
  But as the stakes rise, he finds himself swept into a tangled mess of black ops, corrupt officials, and media puppeteers who see him as the perfect fall guy. He thought he was chasing purpose and a 401K plan—until purpose chased him back with a surgical saw and an igloo cooler. 
  Will he choose himself or America?  
  The only way to find out is to read the series.
