The Bigamist
In April 2006, Mary Turner Thomson received a call that blew her life apart. The woman on the other end of the line told her that Will Jordan, Mary's husband and the father of her two younger children, had been married to her for fourteen years and they had five children together. The Bigamist is the shocking true story of how one man manipulated an intelligent, independent woman, conning her out of £200,000 and leaving her to bring up the children he claimed he could never have. It's a story we all think could never happen to us, but this shameless con man has been doing the same thing to various other women for at least 27 years, spinning a tangled web of lies and deceit to cover his tracks. How far would you go to help the man you love? How far would he go to deceive you? And what would you do when you found out it was all a lie?
The Psychopath
In 2006, Mary Turner Thomson's world shattered when she discovered her husband Will was a bigamist, con man and convicted sex offender. Unbeknownst to her, this would be the start of a bold new chapter in her life, fighting to protect other women from his heartless gaslighting campaigns -- and putting a stop to his endless deception. Mary thought her story would end with the revelation that Will in fact had several families -- and numerous children. But when she discovered that he had continued to prey on new victims, she vowed to turn his betrayal into a force for good. On her mission to protect these women and others, Mary also learned more about the psychopathy behind Will's duplicitous b...
The Psychopath Test
What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness. Along the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting. A skill which seemingly reveals that madness could indeed be at the heart of everything . . . Combining Jon Ronson's trademark humour, charm and investigative incision, The Psychopath Test is both entertaining and honest, unearthing dangerous truths and asking serious questions about how we define normality in a world where we are increasingly judged by our maddest edges. 'The belly laughs come thick and fast – my God, he is funny . . . provocative and interesting' – Observer
The Sociopath Subtext
Humour book - light relief with a deeper point to be made. Sociopaths/Psychopaths/Narcissists are devoid of conscience or remorse, they can lie and cheat without any hint of guilt or emotional response. As a result they tend to come across as charming and considerate ... until you find out the truth about them, usually from a debt collector, their other wife/husband or the police! It is only then that you realise that sociopaths often see people with emotions as weak and worthy of their disdain. Sociopaths/Psychopaths/Narcissists make up 1% of the population! So the chances that you have NOT met one is very remote.Ever wanted to know what a sociopath thinks? Or what a psychopath means when they say something?This book is your reference manual to look back on what they said, and realize what they actually meant. It is a humour book (the kind of thing you might keep in the smallest room in the house!) and it is meant to make you laugh, but it'll also make you cringe ... because you know it's true. "Be warned. Sociopaths, Psychopaths and Narcissists are out there. They might even be one right beside you!"
The Other Mrs Jordan
The woman on the other end of the line calmly told her that she and Will Jordan, Mary's husband and the father of her two younger children, had been married for fourteen years and had five children together.

Teaming up with his newest fiancée in the US, Mary attempts to put an end to Will's devastating activities. But will she and her fellow victims succeed in their ultimate goal: to bring down Will Jordan forever? Mary Turner Thomson began telling her story in her first book, The Bigamist. Now, in The Psychopath, she delves deeper into Will's betrayal, telling an entirely new story of how she moved on, and helped others do the same.
The Pioneering Life of Mary Wortley Montagu
The first biography to look at the early feminist and radical Mary Wortley Montagu, who successfully introduced Britain to the inoculation against the smallpox virus. 300 years ago, in April 1721, a smallpox epidemic was raging in England. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu knew that she could save her 3-year-old daughter using the process of inoculation. She had witnessed this at first hand in Turkey, while she was living there as the wife of the British ambassador. She also knew that by inoculating - making her daughter the first person protected in the West - she would face opposition from doctors, politicians and clerics. Her courageous action eventually led to the eradication of smallpox and the...
The House Beside The Cherry Tree
1959 was a different time, when gender roles were fixed and one naive mistake can change everything. Diane found this out the hard way and not only loses her future but also herself and eventually her mind. Diane's husband Richard, barely a man when he put the ring on Diane's finger, struggles to understand and keep the family together. Ultimately it is their daughter, Frankie, who pays the price and learns that not all mothers are as loving as they should be. The House Beside the Cherry Tree tells the story from each family member's perspective - that of Diane, her husband Richard, and their daughter Frankie - in a very personal and intimate way. 'Fascinating, haunting and heart-breaking, but ultimately uplifting, giving us hope for a better future.' Catherine Simpson (Author of When I Had A Little Sister)'The one thing that kept me going through all my troubles was a love of a wonderful mother. It is the one thing I thought was a constant in life. The House Beside the Cherry Tree showed me that not everyone has that start in life. A brilliant and eye-opening read.' Mary Turner Thomson (Author of The Bigamist and The Psychopath)

I'm Still Standing
In I’m Still Standing, Mel Carnegie vividly recounts how she has fought adversity since childhood, beginning with the death of her father when she was just four years old and culminating with the discovery that her ten-year marriage had been nothing but a sham. She now believes that the man she called her soulmate was a sociopath.Sociopaths, or psychopaths as they are also known, live and breathe among us. They have no conscious. No empathy. No remorse. And there is no easy way to tell them apart from other people. Sociopaths are expert manipulators, and they are real – not just the fantasy of some Hollywood filmmaker. They look normal and they sound normal. Typically they come across as...
