Eighteen months ago, drummer Jude Colburn made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked away from his band just as they were on the brink of success. Now, he’s got a second chance. The band’s bassist just quit, and Jude plays bass almost as well as he plays drums. The other band members aren’t thrilled, but they are desperate. Running with Scissors needs him, but there’s one condition: no hooking up with bandmates. That’s what ruined things eighteen months ago, after all. Jude’s on board, but no one warned him about the drummer who replaced him. A.J. Palmer is shy and unassuming . . . until he hits the stage. He gets Jude’s attention from the first beat, and suddenly that “no hookups” rule isn’t so easy to follow. Keeping secrets on a tour bus isn’t easy either, and it’s only a matter of time before the band catches on. When everything hits the fan, Jude has to choose: a second chance at the career he’s always regretted leaving, or a shot at the man of his dreams?Zum Buch

Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master. 1 - Six of the Best - Edgar Allan Poe - An Introduction 2 - Edgar Allan Poe - An Introduction 3 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe 4 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe 5 - The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe 6 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe 7 - The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe 8 - The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe 9 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe 10 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - Part 2 by Edgar Allan PoeZum Buch
