Killer Crust
A pizza-making contest turns into a race to catch a killer when a frozen dough mogul is murdered in this Southern cozy mystery novel. Eleanor Swift and her sister Maddy, proprietors of the best little pizzeria in Timber Ridge, North Carolina, are not at all amused when the frozen pizza baron Laughing Luigi walks into their establishment. Past experience with the sketchy businessman left a decidedly bad taste in their mouths. But now Luigi is planning a pizza-making contest right in Timber Ridge. And with a first prize of $25,000, the offer to take part is downright irresistible. It doesn’t take them long to realize that Laughing Luigi’s contest is seriously rigged. But someone else gets the last laugh when Luigi is murdered with a poisoned slice pizza. Did other contestants need the dough so badly enough they’d kill for it? Eleanor and Maddy are out to solve the case before the killer comes back for more. Includes delicious pizza recipe! "Another fun pizza romp." —Publishers Weekly

Edge of England
Lincolnshire is England’s second-largest county–and one of the least well-known. Yet its understated chronicles, unfashionable towns and undervalued countryside conceal fascinating stories, and unique landscapes: its Wolds are lonely and beautiful, its towns characterful; its marshlands and dynamic coast are metaphors of constant change. From plesiosaurs to Puritans, medieval ghosts to eighteenth-century explorers, poets to politicians, and Vikings to Brexit, this marginal county is central to England’s identity. Canute, Henry IV, John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford all called Lincolnshire home. So did saints, world-famed churchmen and reformers–Etheldreda, Gilbert, Guthlac and Hugh...

Almshouses in Early Modern England
This book is an examination of early modern English almshouses in the 'mixed economy' of welfare. Drawing on archival evidence from three contrasting counties - Durham, Warwickshire and Kent - between 1550 and 1725, the book assesses the contribution almshouses made within the developing welfare systems of the time and the reasons for the enduring popularity of this particular form of charity. Post-Reformation almshouses are usually considered to have been places of privilege for the respectable deserving poor, operating outside the structure of parish poor relief to which ordinary poor people were subjected, and making little contribution to the genuinely poor and needy. This book challenges these assumptions through an exploration of the nature and extent of almshouse provision; it examines why almshouses were founded in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, who the occupants were, what benefits they received and how residents were expected to live their lives. The book reveals a surprising variation in the socio-economic status of almspeople and their experience of almshouse life.
After the Flames
“A fast-paced, compelling narrative that goes far beyond the headlines.” — KEVIN DONOVAN, author of The Billionaire Murders On the morning of March 10, 1988, in Orillia, Ontario, a house fire engulfed fourteen-year old Joey Philion in flames. He suffered third-degree burns on 95 percent of his body. Doctors didn’t think he would make it through the night. After the Flames is the story of one of the world’s most famous burn victims: his incredible survival, his nightmarish path to recovery that helped revolutionize medical treatment for burn victims worldwide, the fame thrust upon him after he was declared a hero by the media, and the tumultuous years that followed, most of which were spent under the microscope of an unforgiving public eye. Intertwined with Joey’s story are those of his family, including his mother, Linda; stepfather, Mike; and younger brother, Danny, all of whom endured their own tremendous hardships in the wake of a fire that changed their lives forever
