  Frank's problems grow exponentially with each sunrise. After the storm passes and the water recedes, every flooded house must be reoccupied by its owners, leaving endless opportunities for criminals to sneak in. Squatters appear everywhere. Chaos builds upon chaos. And, guess what? There are no police cars, fire trucks, or FEMA trailers coming to the rescue . . . The prize called survival will go to whatever subdivision can pull itself together first. 
   
   
   
  It won't be easy. Borders between groups of residents are forming. To the south, where most of the people live, gun battles echo on the wind, and roadblocks are already going up to keep them away. To the north, the shady town of North Pointe has been making new friends in the adjacent subdivisions. And to the west, on the coast, the storm has brought in a new and unpredictable neighbor. A beached container ship with a mysterious cargo . . . To the east, however, there might be hope. A crashed plane in the forest deposits a resource that might help get the lights back on for Clownfish Cove. 
   
   
   
  All Frank has to do is gather his people, drive into the unmapped forest, deal with armed strangers and criminal teenagers, and then get the resource back home to Clownfish Cove . . . He's living the retirement dream. The day-by-day saga continues on day six after the EMP.

  Reclusive magazine exec Ethan Talley is furious when his business partner hires a photographer—a gorgeous photographer who insists on speaking her mind—to take pictures for an upcoming article. No matter how badly he wants the woman . . . under him, over him, against the nearest wall . . . he has reasons for not wanting to be on camera anymore, and his scars are only one of them. 
   
   
   
  It takes approximately two seconds for Lissa Kingsman to recognize Ethan as the popular YouTube gamer who fell off the planet years ago. But this Ethan is different than the charming man she used to watch, and the crush she had on him then is nothing compared to the way she's lusting after the brooding man he is today. If sex is all he can give her, fine. Why not use that bearskin rug in her studio for something other than a prop? But she's determined to put a chink in his armor, no matter how much he resists. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Stella Benson was born on the 6th January 1892 in Easthope, Shropshire to parents who were landed gentry. 
   
  Her early years involved frequent household moves which was difficult for the child as she suffered from ill-health.  Some of her early education was spent at schools in Germany and Switzerland and by 10 she had developed a lifelong habit of keeping a diary. 
   
  In the following years her parents separated, and she rarely saw her father. When she did, he encouraged to pause her writing until she had further experience and could better make sense of the world.  When he died, she learned he had been an alcoholic. 
   
  A winter spent in the West Indies provided material for her first novel ‘I Pose’ published the following year in 1915. 
   
  During the War years she became involved in the women's suffrage movement and dedicated time outside of writing to support the troops and help the poor. 
   
  In 1918 she decided to travel spending much time in California, where she also tutored at the University of California, and continued to write.  In China she met her future husband and after marrying in London, journeyed with him to his various Custom postings through Nanning, Beihai, and Hong Kong and the Far East. 
   
  The works continued to flow novels, short stories, travel essays all helped to build a deserved and burgeoning reputation. 
   
  Although her works are now in the forgotten and neglected department her writing style, characters, and narratives more than capably demonstrate her obvious talents.   
   
  Stella Benson died of pneumonia on the 7th December 1933, at Hạ Long in the Vietnamese province of Tonkin.  She was 40.

  On the terrace of an elaborate hilltop apartment overlooking a Central American capital, four people sit making polite conversation. The American couple -- an elderly physician and his young wife -- are tourists. Their host, whom they have just met, is a young man of striking good looks and charm. The girl, his mistress, is very young and very beautiful. Sitting there, watching the sunset, the Slades seem to be enjoying the sort of fortunate chance encounter that travelers cherish. But amid the civilities and small talk, the host's casual remark to the American woman proves prophetic: ""It's not exactly what you think."" 
  Masterfully -- with the poetic control that has always characterized his work -- Paul Bowles leads the reader beneath the surface of hospitality and luxury into a tortuous maze of human relationships and shifting moods, until what seems at first a merely casual encounter is seen to be one rooted in viciousness and horror.

  A mission to find a needle in a haystack . . .  
   
   
   
  Will's made Ezekiel a promise he intends to keep. Will may have promised to find the woman he loves, but first, he's going to look for Moira, the woman who changed Ezekiel's life. Delivering a letter in an apocalypse? Certainly not the strangest thing Will's decided to do since the ascension began. 
   
   
   
  A haunted city . . .  
   
   
   
  Finding a single person in Leeds without mobile phones or the internet is bound to be difficult. Doing so with ascension-mutated local fauna, even more so. But when the entire city is haunted by legends far too alive for dead things? Will's up for a challenge as much as the next guy with a baby dragon at his side. 
   
   
   
  His own personal haunting is enough without literal ghosts making mince of the populace. Will's as surly as he is stubborn, and even he can't ignore it when rumors of hundreds disappearing into Kirkstall Abbey reach his ears. Especially when he learns that's exactly where the woman he seeks has gone. 
   
   
   
  Will thought he'd gotten away from the corruption that caught his uncle and his friend, but the memories of Bamford aren't all that have followed him northward. 
   
   
   
  Leeds is about to be something far worse than haunted.
