Paul Bradley's Galaxy of Stars
Until now you may never have heard of Paul Bradley, a quiet unassuming gardener from Yorkshire. Paul is a sufferer of Asperger's syndrome which leads to passionate, some would say obsessive, behaviour. However Paul's indomitable spirit has enabled him to channel his enormous energy into amassing a truly remarkable collection of autographs and photographs of movie stars, producers and directors. That he has done this on a shoestring budget with savings from his gardening jobs is even more remarkable. Taking the overnight coach (to save money) from Yorkshire to London, he has met and rubbed shoulders with a galaxy of stars . He is on first name terms with more Oscar and BAFTA winners than you could imagine possible. The book traces Paul's family history in Scarborough and commences with a photograph of Sir Winston Churchill taken by his great-grandfather. What a start This is going to be the Rainman of the book world and before you ask, yes, Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman are both featured.

The billionaire predators of Silicon Valley always get what they want. Now someone is giving them what they deserve. "An engrossing murder mystery with strong female characters" - Kirkus Reviews Journalist Lou McCarthy has spent her career exposing powerful predators in Silicon Valley. Her crusade has cost her everything: Her apartment, friends, relationships, and any hope of promotion. And for what? Readers don't care, her boss and workmates pity her, and the billionaire bro-ciopaths she writes about continue to fail upwards. But when two of her highest profile subjects are killed on the same night, their deaths staged as gruesome public suicides, Lou's work is suddenly and violently thrust into the spotlight. Blamed for the deaths, fired from her job, and pursued by vengeful trolls who have already attacked her mother, Lou has only one chance of survival: To find the killer obsessed with her work, and stop them before anyone else dies. Or perhaps not. Because the more Lou discovers about the ingenious killer's past, and their methods, the more she becomes determined to help them succeed.

Wherever possible, light shines through.
