Sinossi

"This book about learning to love oneself will both sadden and gladden the heart, so prepare for lots of tears as well as uplifting surges of joy." Jon Gower
Gwawr, secular celebrant, single and in her thirties, knows all too well how life can change in an instant. Well practiced at keeping her composure, she keeps on smiling, even though her own life is falling apart behind the scenes. A victim of online sabotage, an unknown perpetrator is trying to destroy Gwawr and her business. Prone to unwise relationships, we follow her as she becomes hopelessly embroiled with an attractive client, thwarts the advances of another, and tries to survive as her business dries up and her money runs out. All while finding a way to acknowledge her own, very private, grief.
This is a tale of friendship, love, unbearable loss and how we overcome the dark depths to find the light again. We all carry secrets and sometimes only solidarity and the trust of another will unlock them.
A heartfelt novel exploring what it means to be human when we are at our most vulnerable.
"A highly entertaining and surprising novel, expertly treading the fine line between tragedy and comedy - Rebecca Roberts has a distinct, memorable voice." Fflur Dafydd

From Whose Bourne - A Murdered...

Edward Richardson

What if you woke up to find yourself dead, only to discover you were the victim of a calculated murder? 
On Christmas Eve, wealthy businessman William Brenton retires to his room feeling indisposed, leaving a vibrant holiday party downstairs. He wakes not to the morning sun, but to the horrifying sight of his own lifeless body on the bed. Navigating the disorienting, invisible realm of the recently deceased, Brenton uncovers an even darker nightmare: he was poisoned with morphine, and his beloved, innocent wife Alice has been arrested for his murder. 
Helpless to speak to the living, Brenton must ally with eccentric spirits from the world beyond—including a fiercely determined deceased Chicago journalist and the legendary French detective, Monsieur Lecocq. Together, this phantom investigative team must decipher the clues of the mortal world, untangle a web of jealousy and hidden revenge, and find the true killer before Alice is sent to the gallows. 
Edward Richardson's From Whose Bourne is a brilliant twist on the classic locked-room mystery. Blending supernatural suspense with gripping courtroom drama and sharp investigative thrills, this clever whodunit proves that some mysteries are so compelling, they transcend death itself.

The Way We Fight

As one of the first women to referee in the NFL, Charleigh has a lot of pressure on her shoulders and a lot of eyes watching her. But no one is watching Charleigh harder than the head coach of Atlanta's football team. 
 
 
 
Levi Peyton has made a name for himself, becoming the youngest coach in the NFL to win a Super Bowl. His achievements didn't come without a price, and the last thing Levi needs is a rookie referee standing in front of him on the sideline.

But there's a history between Charleigh and Levi that neither of them can erase, much less forget. It's a feeling they have to fight for the sake of their jobs. Of course, that'd be easier to do if the fight stayed on the field. But it carries over to the locker room, the gym, and the middle of a boxing ring. 
 
 
 
Their feelings get complicated, and it's getting harder to deny that what they have is no longer a fight. It's real. 
 
 
 
And the only way for it to work is for one of them to throw in the towel.
