Dark of Winter
The people of Sumner are odd. Their village, far to the north where the weather is worst, is lost to a world of snow and ice and freezing death. No one trusts Sumner. No one goes there...until now. King Fialsun’s soldiers are battle weary. They have spent years carving an empire that starts from the south and rises up like an inexorable branch, twisting east and west and now to new territories in the north. Despite growing dissent, Fialsun’s power remains absolute and his might infinite. But one village remains outside from his sovereignty: Sumner. Fialsun sends one hundred of his soldier veterans to find and to decimate the village. To bring an end to its stigma and to quash the dreaded...

Princess Maritza
A breezy morning after a night of rain. Fleecy clouds, some in massive folds and fantastic shape, some in small half-transparent wisps like sunlit ghosts, were driven rapidly across the blue. Hurrying shadows flecked the swelling bosom of the downs, and where the grass was long it rippled like a green sea, making rustling music. Overhead the larks fluttering upward, ever-diminishing specks to the empyrean, caroled their joyous song, and a thousand perfumes filled the air. It was a morning to live in, to enjoy, to take into one's lungs in deep, intoxicating draughts, until the sorrows of life and its cares were forgotten; a morning that lent strong wings to ambition, filling the future with hope and the promise of realized desires.
The Language of Elk
"Benjamin Percy is a force." -- Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See This debut collection of stories, The Language of Elk, by the award-winning author of Red Moon, assembles its cast from the mountain towns and low life taverns and high desert ranches of Oregon--a state that in isolated pockets remains a still-unfinished place, the frontier. Here nature exists as a source of wonder and a force to be conquered. Here myths haunt the moss-laden woods and Benjamin Percy shines his light on them, revealing bearded ladies and Bigfoot and marijuana colonies and elk hunting ranches and haunted Indian burial sites, the underside of contemporary western America. With a salty mystical voice that partners the landscape and a vision as wild as his characters, Percy explores a world of surprising violence and gentleness, hilarity and heartbreak, loveliness and ugliness, and in doing so emerges as a beautifully raw voice of the West.
Heather the Conqueror
When the MacBlethers sail to France for some routine maintenance work on their local ferry they are not banking on the mystery of the lost treasure of the Normans, or an escaped wolf looking for lunch, crossing their path. Nor does their windswept and wayward son, Dornoch, expect to be brought face-to-face with what life is really about. Is France ready for that most Scottish of Scottish Families, the MacBlethers? Can Dornoch, proud piping son of Hughie and Moosie, summon up the courage to find the treasure in his heart? Will Heather, their plucky westie find the courage to pluck him from the jaws of death?
Footnotes
Running is not just a sport. It reconnects us to our bodies and the places in which we live, breaking down our increasingly structured and demanding lives. It allows us to feel the world beneath our feet, lifts the spirit, allows our minds out to play and helps us to slip away from the demands of the modern world. When Vybarr Cregan-Reid set out to discover why running meant so much to so many, he began a journey which would take him out to tread London’s cobbled streets, climbing to sites that have seen a millennium of hangings, and down the crumbling alleyways of Ruskin's Venice. Footnotes transports you to the cliff tops of Hardy's Dorset, the deserted shorelines of Seattle, the giant redwood forests of California, and to the world’s most advanced running laboratories and research centres, using debates in literature, philosophy and biology to explore that simple human desire to run. Liberating and inspiring, this book reminds us why feeling the earth beneath our feet is a necessary and healing part of our lives.
Heather the Westie Sea Dog
Wee Heather MacBlether, a beautiful and lovable West Highland terrier, lives happily on the enchanting Isle of Lismore off the west coast of Scotland with her proud and doting human parents, Hughie and Moosie. But her world is severely shaken one day when someone makes unkind comments about her ears, which flop over rather than stick up in the usual westie way. Thanks, however, to the unconditional love and support of Hughie and Moosie, this becomes a turning point in Heather's life. She 'digs deep' and, overcoming her doubts and fears, finds who she really is: a sea dog - a wayfarer upon the waves with salt in her whiskers. Brave Heather is soon to become a heroine, the toast of the Isle of Lismore...
