Summary

Fairy tales are real. 
 
Rose Briar is a diabetic college student without insurance. She’s been scraping by through a combination of maxing out credit cards and relying upon the kindness of strangers.
 
Unfortunately, she’s spent every dollar at her disposal. There’s no money left to buy her life-saving insulin.
 
Without her medication, Rose falls into a diabetic coma. She tumbles into a deep slumber and wakes up in a fantastical place called the Dream Realm, where fairy tales and legends of old are still very much alive.
 
She has one chance to wake up.
 
She must trek across the world, visit the most powerful object in the land, the Obsidian Spindle, and entreat with the fates; the only beings powerful enough to send her soul back to Earth.
 
But evil forces don’t want her to leave. They will stop at nothing to capture her and make sure she never goes home again.
 
Now, with the help of her half-gorgon girlfriend and a mysterious red rider, Rose must race across the land fighting dragons, monsters, and the forces of the Wicked Witch, Nimue, in order to reach the Obsidian Spindle before her body dies on Earth and she’s trapped in the Dream Realm forever.
 
Will she be able to wake up? Can she survive? Find out by reading The Sleeping Beauty today. If you love mythology, fairy tales, and dark fantasy, then you’ll love the first book in The Obsidian Spindle Saga.

    'I am a big fan of Jenny Kane' Katie Fforde. 
 
Thea Thomas needs to get away from her old life... and the interfering ex who won't leave her alone. When she lands a job heading up the restoration of Mill Grange, a stunning Victorian manor in Somerset, it feels like the perfect opportunity to start afresh. 
 
What she didn't anticipate was how hostile the volunteer team – led by the formidable Mabel Hastings – would be about accepting new leadership. And with the deadline looming before the grand opening, Thea is in desperate need of more volunteers. 
 
A broadcast appeal on the local news attracts the interest of troublesome but undeniably attractive celebrity historian Shaun Cowlson, who wants to make a TV programme about the restoration. It's hard enough adding one more big personality to the mix – but then her ex turns up as one of the volunteers! What seemed like a dream come true is fast becoming a total disaster! Can Thea find a way to save the manor? 
 
A warm-hearted, feel-good romance from Jenny Kane, a Kindle #1 bestselling author.

    "The Adventure of the Creeping Man" (1923) is one of 12 Sherlock Holmes short stories (56 total) by Arthur Conan Doyle in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes first published in Strand Magazine October 1921 - April 1927.
A man named Trevor Bennett comes to Holmes with a most unusual problem. He is Professor Presbury's personal secretary, and Mr. Bennett is also engaged to the professor's only daughter, Edith. Professor Presbury is himself engaged to a young lady, Alice Morphy, a colleague's daughter, although he himself is already 61 years of age. Their impending marriage does not seem to have caused a great scandal, so that is not Mr Bennett's problem. Nonetheless, the trouble seems to have begun at about the time of Professor Presbury's and Alice's engagement. First, the professor suddenly left home for a fortnight without telling anyone where he was going. He returned looking rather travel-worn, and it was only through a letter from a friend sent to Mr Bennett that the family learnt that Professor Presbury had been to Prague.

    She’s 118 years old, four steps from glory and now she’s done playing nice. 
Sister Agatha has lived a long, saintly life across three centuries—only to be told, during a routine 
check–up, that she’s got just one week left to live. It’s a bit of an inconvenience, really. You see, 
Sister Agatha once made a vow: to be the oldest person in the world. At last count, she was in fifth 
place. So close . . .  
But where there’s a will, there’s a way, and the super-centenarian creates a bold Plan B. 
Armed with little more than rosary beads, a fertile imagination and old–fashioned determination, 
Sister Agatha sets off on one final mission: to meet the four people standing between her and 
immortality and to gently expedite their demise. After all, vows are sacred. 
And Sister Agatha? She will not go quietly . . .
