Sinossi

'I blame Literature. All those f*cking lovely writers who made me want to be a writer. Toby Literature.'

A Writer's Diary is a year in the life of a man called Toby Litt. Day by day, Toby offers intimate details about his family and well-being, insights into creative writing, and other fascinating reflections, ranging from the immediate surroundings of his desk and study out into the world and on to infinite possibility.

As the year unfolds an increasingly urgent narrative starts to build. A Writer's Diary becomes a compulsive page-turner, full of stories and characters we have grown to love – and full
of questions we need answered. W ill Toby Litt find the perfect pencil sharpener? Will everyone he loves make it through the year? And will he be the same person at the end of it?

Blending fact and fiction, invention and memoir with joyful creativity and remarkable ambition, A Writer's Diary is a year in a life and a life in a year.

    Northanger Abbey follows Catherine Morland and family friends Mr. and Mrs. Allen as they visit Bath, England. Seventeen year-old Catherine spends her time visiting newly-made friends, such as Isabella Thorpe, and going to balls. Catherine finds herself pursued by Isabella's brother John Thorpe (Catherine's brother James's friend from university), and by Henry Tilney. She also becomes friends with Eleanor Tilney, Henry's younger sister. Henry captivates her with his view on novels and his knowledge of history and the world. General Tilney (Henry and Eleanor's father) invites Catherine to visit their estate, Northanger Abbey, which, because she has been reading Ann Radcliffe's gothic novel The Mysteries of Udolpho, Catherine expects to be dark, ancient and full of fantastical mystery.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
In this Century of profound change for women our Atlantic neighbours produced authors of extraordinary ability that dazzled us all with a range of ideas, characters and stories of such magnificence that literature would never be the same again.  Genius is written in their names.

    Detective Norman is out of retirement and back on the beat in a rainy Welsh seaside town. Llangwelli might be short on sunshine, but it’s certainly not short on murders . . . Norman is a bit old-fashioned, but he’s also willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits. 
 
On a freezing November morning a man jogs down to the shore at a small Welsh beach. He strips off all his clothes and strides out into the icy water. 
 
No one knows who he is. But locals say only a fool — or someone with a death wish — would go into the sea at this time of year. 
 
With no body, Detective Norman’s young team are baffled. Who was this man? And why would he go into the water that day? 
 
Then builders in town make a gruesome discovery. A skull is found in a shallow grave. 
 
Llangwelli Police now have two unsolved deaths on their hands. And things only get stranger when it seems the two are connected . . . 
 
It’s going to take all Detective Norman’s experience to whip his band of misfits into shape to crack the case. 
 
This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

    What if everything you believed about the world was a lie? 
Ephraim and Gwen have to face this possibility as they struggle to correct seemingly nefarious and nonstop variations to their timeline. 
Gwen Navarro has come back to life in so many ways now that she is a time traveling agent with the FBI’s black op, the Transtemporal Agency. Together with her new found love, Ephraim, she is determined to keep the timeline safe. Ephraim is thriving in his work and his relationship with Gwen, keeping his own demons in the past. Everything seems to be going perfectly. However, things get complicated when the timeline starts to shift. Extra people keep appearing, and others disappear entirely. The team can’t keep up with the constant flux. 
Without any real clues, or tangible evidence, Ephraim and Gwen set out to discover the cause of the variations to the timeline. But when they are separated by time and space, their love and their work is threatened. How can they fix the variations when they aren’t even in the same place at the same time? Roaring through the timeline, the second installment of Gwen and Ephraim’s story comes full circle, as they work with the TA agents to try and fix the variations before the timeline disappears altogether, taking them and everyone they love with it.
