The Book Witch
Rainy March is a proud third-generation book witch, sworn to defend works of fiction from all foes real and imaginary. With her magical umbrella and feline familiar, she jumps into and out of novels to fix malicious alterations and wrangle characters that go off-script. Book witches live by a strict code: Real people belong in the real word; fictional characters belong in works of fiction.... Do not eat, drink, or sleep inside a fictional world, lest you become part of the story. Falling in love with a fictional character? Don't even think about it. Except Rainy has fallen hard for the Duke of Chicago, the dashing British detective who stars in her favorite noir series. After their illicit romance is exposed, Rainy is forbidden from ever seeing her fictional lover again, lest she be expelled from her book coven-and forced to give up the magical gifts that are as much a part of her as her own name. When a priceless book is stolen from her home, there's only one person she trusts to help her get it back: the Duke. Thus their shared quest begins through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, The Great Gatsby, and other classics that will reveal hidden enemies and long-buried family secrets.

Suddenly at the heart of a nation-wide manhunt, Evie finds that her mysterious companion, who refuses to speak, has quickly become the most important person in her upside-down life.

Britain's Revolutionary Summer
Midnight, 30 April 1926. Mineowners lock out a million miners. In response, British workers across the country down their tools. Britain’s first General Strike has begun. The government feared that the country was teetering on the brink of revolution. Trade union leaders thought they’d be shot by the end of the week. For nine days, trains, buses and trams stopped running. Lorries could only leave the docks protected by military convoy. In Birmingham, the police hunted down city councillors, and in London they raided trade union headquarters. And for those in the coalfields, from South Wales to Scotland, the strike would not last nine days, but nine months. On the strike’s centenary, Edd Mustill tells the story of why millions of workers came out on strike, and why the government did all it could to quash them.

The Party to End All Parties
***** Readers LOVE TO HATE the Morlands! ***** “I now feel like I need a bath and a long lie down…” “If ever there was a warning not to do drugs, this novel is it” "What in the Saltburn did I just read?" “A master class in family dysfunction” “Oh my God what in the what?” "Gloriously deranged. And yes, the goat absolutely steals the show" The disgustingly rich and grossly dysfunctional Morland siblings are throwing one of their infamous parties, before it's decided which one of them will take over their ancestral family home. Despite their rivalry, Kassie, Caitlin, Paul and Steven are determined it's going to be a night to remember. But by the morning, one of their guests isn't just hungover: they're dead. The Morlands each have a motive, and they all have dubious morals. But which of them is actually a murderer? While all of them suspect the others, the siblings face a choice: call the police (but risk investigation into their other illegal dealings) or work together to hide the body in the wine cellar. They choose badly. Unfortunately, teamwork doesn't come naturally to this family. With Grandma on her way and the inheritance decision looming, old traumas re-surface and new threats start to claw their way out of the shadows… Who will survive until the afterparty? ***** More reader reactions! ***** “Family drama so toxic it should come with a biohazard label. […] Characters you love to hate: petty, venomous, and so self-absorbed they’d probably step over your body on the way to brunch”

She thought she'd accounted for every risk. But some consequences you can't predict - no matter how carefully you draft the terms.
