The Secret Life of Aphra Behn
'All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn; for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds,' said Virginia Woolf. Yet that tomb, in Westminster Abbey, records one of the few uncontested facts about this Restoration playwright, poet, novelist and spy: the date of her death, 16 April 1689. For the rest secrecy and duplicity are almost the key to her life. She loved codes, making and breaking them; writing her life becomes a decoding of a passionate but playful woman. Janet Todd draws on documents she has rediscovered in the Dutch archives, and on Behn's own writings, to tell a story of court, diplomatic and sexual intrigue, and of the rise from hum...

Janet Cardiff
This book documents Janet Cardiff's 1999 audio project, The Missing voice (Case Study B), and includes the full audio CD as well as images from this exploration of London's inner city. Part urban guide, part fiction, part film noir, her audio walk entwines the listener in a narrative that shifts through time and space. Intimate, even conspirational, Cardiff has created a psychologically absorbing experience for an audience of one at a time. You find yourself transported back in time. What was that sound? Who is speaking to you? Where does reality end, and what's imagined begin? Also included is an extended essay analyzing the artist's career to date. Born in 1957, in Brussels, Canada, Cardiff works and lives in Alberta and has shown internationally in, among others, London, New York, Berlin, and Vienna. Her work has been included in significant group exhibitions, notably Skulptur Projekte Munster, 1997; Present Tense: Nine Artists in the Nineties, at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the 1999 Carnegie International; and the Museum as Muse at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Broken Sparrow
Has someone ever hurt or treated you so badly that you had to beg God to help you to forgive them, and to take away the pain? Or did you ever love someone so much that everything in your life was turned and flipped upside down? Or maybe you wanted something so much, but it seemed too far out of your reach for you to even begin to think that it was possible? Life doesn't come with a book of Instructions, unfortunately. We'll be the author of most of the people we allow into our lives, business or personal. It doesn't matter how good we try to be or if we're religious enough or even faithful; there will come a time in everyone's life when they'll have to cry, rich or poor. Sometimes we'll get dealt a hand in life that we can't win, but someone else can take that same hand and annihilate their opponents. Well, for Evelyn, that hand was dealt, and someone did take it and win. The unfortunate part is, she came from within. As a child, Evelyn developed multiple personality disorder. I can't begin to tell you about all of the hurt and pain she suffered at the hands of her alters and the people who claimed to love her.

Fat Boy
** 2020 Foreword INDIES Gold Award Winner ** The innocence of a child can sometimes be mistaken. Way out west, in the tumbling greens of England, something's going down... "Fat Boy" is a treacherously fictitious rhapsody, taking a tongue-in-cheek look at the best and the worst of humanity and treating it with the disrespect it deserves - love and hate, corruption and extortion, car chases, gunfights and high jinks, all set against the green and pleasant landscapes of the English countryside. It's a circus - a raucous ride into the unknown. "Fat Boy really was something else; refreshing, different and quintessentially British. I will certainly be following this author with some interest in the future." - Grant Leishman, Readers’ Favorite "The best thing about this book is the descriptions the author employs to create character and scene. It is so scrumptious that I found myself lost in its delicacy and sad when it had gone." - Nicole Howard, Writer's Digest
