Alan Opts Out
After successful ad exec Alan Anderson bombs the biggest pitch of his career, he has an epiphany. His entire career has been about making people buy stuff that they don't need so they feel perpetually unsatisfied and less-than. After a lifetime of striving for capitalism, Alan is opting out.
He retires to the ridiculously extravagant playhouse in his family's suburban Connecticut garden (a classic example of something the Andersons didn't need), gives up showering, shoe-wearing, and purchases of all kinds. He might even read a book! This is all very upsetting for his wife Vivian, who is on the verge of being accepted into the insanely elite Queen's Anne Club - guaranteed to make all her insecurities disappear and her children popular.
But maybe everyone will want to buy what Alan's not selling? And, in losing his ambition, might he find what we're all looking for?
For anyone who has ever cared more about how it looked than how it felt, ALAN OPTS OUT is a hilarious take on consumerism, capitalism and wellness.

But Doncaster's also the home of Rach, Shaz and Kel, bezzies since childhood and Donny lasses through and through. They share everything, from blagging their way into nightclubs to trips to the Family Planning clinic when they are late. Never mind that Rach is skeptical of Shaz's bolder plots; or that Shaz, who comes from a rougher end of town, feels left behind when the others begin charting a course to uni; or that Kel sometimes feels split in two trying to keep the peace - their friendship is as indestructible as they are. But as they grow up and away from one another, a long-festering secret threatens to rip the trio apart.
The Keeper of the Camphor Tree
Imagine an ancient tree by a famous shrine, so powerful that visitors come from far and wide to commune with it by moonlight .
When a run of bad luck lands Reito in prison, about to be sentenced, a distant aunt he has never met offers him a surprising way out: he must become the next keeper of the camphor tree.
In his strange new job, Reito welcomes the people coming by nightfall to commune with the tree, all of whom are lost and all in need of something. There is the stern, middle-aged man who hums to the tree for hours; and his glamorous daughter, who has been secretly following him. Then there is the rich, disaffected young man who seems to come grudgingly, with no faith that the tree will even help.
What is the secret of the camphor tree? Can its power be more than just a myth?
Reito begs his aunt Chifune to explain, but she assures him that when he is ready for them, the answers will come to him.

The Rebel and the Peacemaker
A relationship takes work, compromise and trust in one another. But in order to make it a special relationship, a little more diplomacy may be required…When it came to Charles and Mary Bagot, the gossips of Regency England had more than their fill. The marriage, initially the toast of high society, was one marked with scandal and adultery. And when rumours of a particularly salacious affair broke through London, the couple were banished to the New World. Having sailed across the ocean, Charles and Mary settled into their new home among the mudflows of Washington. It was here that they would serve their penance as the first British Ambassadors to America, at a pivotal moment in the new nation's history. But against the odds and in spite of their misfortune, the Bagots would emerge as the leading diplomats of their day. Their innate gift for politics, culture and social affairs was a tonic to the Anglo-American tensions and would lay the groundwork for modern global diplomacy. Their trailblazing work, first in the United States and then later in Russia and Canada that would forever change the power dynamics on the world stage. Meticulously researched, The Rebel and The Peacemaker is the untold story of romance, scandal and the art of diplomacy.
