Sinopsis

"
"Terrific and one of the best books I have read this year." Mark Ellis
The Great Freeze of 1963. A brutal reckoning for the residents of Glanmorfa, caught in the grip of an ancient curse. Or so it appears to Daphne Morgan and her friends who, attempting to navigate the confusing currents of the adult world, find themselves engulfed in mysteries far deeper and more painful than they expected.
An enthralling thriller about memory and the power of imagination…
"This coming-of-age murder mystery, set in an estuary town in south-west Wales, is a must-read for anyone who relishes a compelling page turner."  Jane Frase

    GLASS SLIPPERS MEET COMBAT BOOTSJoin the kids and siblings of fairytale characters in the magical world of “Book,” where citizens train to be the next generation of main characters in stories. In this nine-book series, Cinderella’s daughter and friends challenge their realm’s “Author” and powerful villains across epic worlds to write their own destinies. Sassiness, action-adventure, and plot twists abound!ABOUT BOOK ONE:I was going to be a great protagonist. At least that’s what my mom, Cinderella, kept telling me. I, however, had my doubts.Unlike most main characters at Lady Agnue’s School for Princesses & Other Female Protagonists, I was opinionated, bold, and headstrong. Moreover, for a princess, I had a lot of issues. I’m talking vicious nightmares about people I’ve never met, a total stalker prince, and a Fairy Godmother for an enemy.But I digress. Because here’s the thing about living in an enchanted realm of fairytale characters, crazy junk you never planned on happens all the time. One minute you could be practicing fainting exercises in Damsels in Distress class, sword fighting in a field, or flying on a Pegasus, and the next, BAM! Your book has begun and you’re saddled with a prophecy that changes everything.I still don’t know if I will be a great protagonist one day. But I do know one thing about my fate, for certain. Despite what The Author and the antagonists have in store for me, whatever it costs . . . I’ll be the one taking charge of my own story.READERS LOVE CRISANTA KNIGHT:“Crisanta Knight: Protagonist Bound is an outstanding book the writing, pace and premise are very well done the story keeps you turning the page in anticipation of what will happen next.” - Books in Brogan“There is so much intrigue sprinkled throughout the book that has the reader wanting to know more! The author does an amazing job at setting up the series in this book along with seamlessly tying parts of this book into later books. A must read!” - Amazon“Tween Gold - Should be a movie series. If you read this book, you will see that not only is it EASILY as good as anything Rowling delivered, but offers more realistic inner dialogue and better imagery (more visceral, less whimsy).” - BookBub“I loved this book, mainly because it was so much fun, but also because it was well written, richly developed, and exciting. Fans of reading and fantasy, particularly those with a fondness in their hearts for fairy tale princesses, will likely enjoy this book. The youthful tone will likely appeal to both young adults and the young at heart.” - NetGalley

    Like many teenagers, Will is haunted by the question: 'When are you going to grow up?' 
    During his parents' separation, Will is sent away from the city to live with his grandparents among the rugged Cumbrian fells and lakes. This is a place with no colour TV or mobile phone reception and, worst of all, nowhere to use his computer games. But far from being bored, Will soon uncovers well-kept family secrets and other local mysteries that will threaten the lives of those he loves. 
    Through his bitter-sweet encounters with a colourful array of local characters, Will finds, in the most unexpected places, real 'grown-up' giants-upon whose shoudlers he can lean in his quest for manhood-and the key to true love, real contentment and lasting happiness. This is the first book in the 4-part Will Houston Mysteries series for teens, adolescents, and upwards to adults. 
    More subtly, the nine parts of this novel explores the nine 'fruits of the Spirit' from Scripture (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Humility, Self-Control, etc.).

    A majestic novel of Florence Nightingale, whose courage, self-confidence, and resilience transformed nursing and the role of women in medicine 
     
     
     
    Sweeping yet intimate, Flight of the Wild Swan tells the story of Florence Nightingale, a brilliant, trailblazing woman whose humanity has been obscured beneath the iconic weight of legend.

Overcoming Victorian hierarchies, familial expectations, patriarchal resistance, and her own illness, she used her hard-won acclaim as a battlefield nurse to bring the profession out of its shadowy, disreputable status and elevate nursing to a skilled practice and compassionate art. 
     
     
     
    In lush, lyrical detail, Melissa Pritchard reveals Nightingale as a rebel who wouldn't relent—one whose extraordinary life offers a grand lesson in inspired will.
