The Immortal Twin
Ancient vampires residing within the Hollow Earth known as The Omniscients impose a strict conduct for all vampires-guidelines Razvan and Bianca Torok, commanders of The Realm, have followed for centuries. But not all immortals abide by these ancient laws. After failing to save the Crenshaws from an explosion and attack of renegade vampires, the Toroks adopt the couple's surviving twins, Celeste and Nick.
Celeste and her twin brother Nick could not be more different. Celeste is a straight A student while Nick lives life on the edge, and she is as introverted as Nick is charismatic. When people ask if they really are twins she knows what they wonder is how one can be so perfect and the other be such a dud? There is one thing, though, they have in common: they are mortal. Their adoptive parents will make sure of that.
When Nick's rebellious ways place Celeste in danger, she is forced to seek safety in the Midwest. As if the familial alienation isn't enough, she's tormented by her forbidden desire for Tristan, The Realm's supreme warrior. With her future uncertain and her past shattered, she follows in her biological father's footsteps and joins law enforcement.
As the lead investigator on several bizarre child abduction cases, Celeste soon discovers that bullets and modern weaponry will not stop these criminals, and that a war is brewing with the renegade vampires. Celeste joins Tristan, her parents, and the rest of The Realm to destroy the renegade vampires once and for all.

So I Wrote You a Poem
In January 2021, Instagram followers were invited to message author David Tensen with a life story they wanted made into a poem. More than 60 people wrote in with stories spanning divorce, loss, trauma, parenting, ableism, same-sex attraction, suicide, PTSD, parenting, religious shame and more.
Drawing from deep empathy, and with a desire to give dignity and voice to those often shamed and ostracised, David wrote a collection of poems every day for twenty-one days. This special collection of 25 poems is a tribute to the common loss and hope we all share.
This is David's second poetry collection. His best-selling debut 2020 collection, 'The Wrestle', is also available worldwide
The following is a poem from the collection. It features in the chapter, 'On Marriage':
FOR THE ONE WHO WAS BETRAYED
(To the betrayer)
There is a tree by our home
that fell in a storm
on the path
I walked to belonging.
I assumed this was our path,
and perhaps it was,
but the storm -
that was your betrayal.
Torn from the earth.
Branches broken.
Leaves strewn like confetti
on our wedding day.
Roots, now exposed,
shamefully waving at passers-by,
remind me
of what was sown in secret.
Trunk, now splintered,
piercing those who dare to pry,
remind me
of your unrepentant reasoning.
I've been tempted,
more than once,
to nest in the wreckage
but you won't find me there.
Instead, I'll be in the forest
forging new paths
through forgiveness
and a fog of grief,
vowing to love myself
more than you ever did.

The Philosophy of Modern Song
The Philosophy of Modern Song is Bob Dylan's first book of new writing since 2004's Chronicles: Volume One - and since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016.
Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over 60 essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyses what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan's unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work's transcendence.
In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years and, like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement.

Women Street Artists
If street art is, in itself, an act of rebellion, it is tragically ironic that the genre seems dominated by men. This exciting book is an important first step in shedding light on the substantial number of women who are gaining fame in the street art world.
It brings together the work of 24 artists, through dazzling photographs of their work and intimate portraits of their lives based on interviews collected by award-winning journalist Alessandra Mattanza. On walls, sidewalks, prison cells, grain silos and other nontraditional canvases, these artists tackle ideas around empowerment, feminism, the pink revolution, body shaming and body imagery, racism, and the climate crisis.
From Oklahoma City and Brooklyn, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh makes site specific work that considers how people experience race and gender within their surrounding environments. South African multidisciplinary artist Faith XLVII imbues her narratives with a longing for a deeper connection to nature, and a resurrection of the divine feminine. Italy's Camilla Falsini incorporates joyful, bold colors and simple shapes to deliver serious messages about the environment. Shamsia Hassani, one of Afghanistan's first female street artists, makes vibrant murals and paintings in which women play musical instruments as a vehicle for self-expression.
Bursting with colorful photographs of works in situ as well as in detail, this thrilling and incisive book proves that street art is not only female-it's the essence of conceptual rebellion itself.
Light in the Darkness
As featured in THE EDGE OF ALL WE KNOW - the new Netflix documentary about Black Holes
For readers of Stephen Hawking, a fascinating account of the universe from the perspective of world-leading astrophysicist Heino Falcke, who took the first ever picture of a black hole.
10th April 2019: a global sensation. Heino Falcke, a man "working at the boundaries of his discipline and therefore at the limits of the universe" had used a network of telescopes spanning the entire planet to take the first picture of a black hole.
Light in the Darkness examines how mankind has always looked to the skies, mapping the journey from millennia ago when we turned our gaze to the heavens, to modern astrophysics. Heino Falcke and Jorg Romer entertainingly and compellingly chart the breakthrough research of Falcke's team, an unprecedented global community of international colleagues developing a telescope complex enough to look directly into a black hole - a hole where light vanishes, and time stops.
What does this development mean? Is this the beginning of a new physics? What can we learn from this about God, the world, and ourselves? For Falcke, astrophysics and metaphysics, science and faith, do not exclude one another. Black Hole is both a plea for curiosity and humility; it's interested in both what we know, and the mysteries that remain unsolved.
