My Double Life
'As gripping as Mark's greatest races' – Zoe Ball'Incredibly brave and uplifting' – Rebecca Adlington The moving story of one of Britain’s best-loved sportsmen, and his thirty-year coming out journeyWITH A FOREWORD BY CLARE BALDINGAs a five-time Olympian, six-time World Champion and eight-time World Record holder, if anyone was going to be openly gay at the height of their sporting career it should have been swimmer Mark Foster – a confident, laid-back guy who doesn’t care what anyone thinks. So why did it take him half a lifetime to come out? From a Southend Jack-the-lad expelled from one of the most prestigious schools in the country to becoming the fastest man through water on the planet and a television favourite, Mark’s journey is extraordinary. With humour and honesty, he takes readers through his unprecedented 20-year career in the pool and shows how he hid his sexuality for so long – and convinced himself he was happy doing so. Alongside his sporting achievements, Mark recounts his glittering appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, his growing broadcasting career and the other-worldliness of being an Olympian in the public eye. But his experience makes us stop and reassess where we really are in terms of society’s approach to homosexuality and diversity in sport. Inspiring and moving, My Double Life is the tale of one man’s pursuit of sporting prowess and finding the freedom to live his truth.

White Cat - The Curse Workers 1
Meet the Curse Workers - the fan favourite urban fantasy trilogy by global phenomenon Holly Black - now reborn in these unmissable new editions with stunning reimagined covers and updated texts never before published in the UK!
Cassel grew up in a family of curse workers - people who can rewrite your emotions, your memories, your luck-with nothing more than a touch. It's the kind of magic that got outlawed generations ago. Everyone who has it is considered a criminal.
But Cassel isn't like the rest of them. He hasn't got magic. That means he's always been an outsider - the only straight-laced kid in a crooked family. At least, that's what he believed, right up until three years ago, when he murdered the girl he loved, Lila, who was also heir to the Zacharov crime family.
Now he's started sleepwalking, waking on rooftops, chasing a white cat through his dreams. The more he digs, the more his past begins to unravel. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he realises the only way to find out the truth is to outcon the conmen.
Murder mystery meets contemporary fantasy in the cutthroat world of the Curse Workers, where a single touch can bring love - or death - and your dreams might be truer than your memories. Brimming with high-stakes deception, jaw-dropping twists, and a dash of romance, this beloved series is perfect for fans of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and Vicious by V. E. Schwab.
The Will to Live
An unforgettable memoir about love, loss, resilience, the power of community and most importantly, hope. This inspirational work is something that anyone concerned about the mental health of a friend, loved one, or family member should read and share. John Trautwein’s life seemed perfect. An ex-Boston Red Sox player turned corporate executive, he had a loving marriage with four beautiful children. This all changed in October 2010 when his 15-year-old son Will died by suicide. John thought his life had ended, too. What he eventually discovered instead was that even in the midst of unimaginable grief, there is a way forward—through faith, family, friendship, and the healing power of helping others. With raw honesty and unwavering compassion, John shares how his darkest days revealed a new calling: to spread awareness about mental health, to break the silence around depression, and to deliver hope to those who need it most. Drawing on his personal and professional experience, and as co-founder, with his wife Susie, of the nonprofit The Will to Live Foundation, John turns a tragedy into a positive and successful source of hope through his “Life Teammates” concept and programs. Through inspirational stories, he demonstrates our ability to improve our own will to live by delivering hope to one another. He reveals to us how to recognize the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of mental illness. His story emphasizes that love, not time, is what truly mends the heart. The Will to Live offers both inspiration and practical insight into how we can be there for each other in times of need. It is a story about courage. About community. About choosing to speak up, to reach out, to listen, and to remind each other that it’s always okay to not be okay.
Without Prejudice
Harvey Brownstone''s story is a tumultuous, sometimes hilarious, and uplifting journey from bullied child to outcast after coming out to his parents, to trailblazing lawyer, to distinguished judge. Brownstone colourfully details his momentous and inventive judicial career marked by his numerous innovations of the justice system, particularly revolutionizing Ontario''s child support enforcement programme. In retirement, he is no longer shackled by the restraints traditionally imposed on the judiciary, and thus Brownstone provides a frank, unfiltered, and refreshing glimpse into the inner workings of the justice system, boldly delineating the strengths and weaknesses of criminal and family courts, both of which he claims are sorely in need of comprehensive reform. His remarkable story, reinventing himself from high-profile judge to highly acclaimed talk show host, is a testament to the resilience and triumph of the human spirit.

Attempted Bibliography of the Works of Barbara Livesey Barbara Livesey
The Eden Book Society was a publishing house that produced horror novelettes for a private list of subscribers. It was established in 1919 by the Eden family, handed down through the generations issuing short horror novels to a confidential list of subscribers. Eden books were always written under pseudonyms and were rumoured to have been written by some of the greatest horror authors of their day, many of whom had strong ties to the mysterious Eden family.

Although unpublished by Eden outside of the famed anthology Best Short Stories: 1952, the work of Barbara Livesey forms a part of The Eden Book Society''s story. The first yellow envelope to show Livesey''s return address in Norwich is postmarked December 1949; a cover letter accompanying the manuscript within is signed ''M.G.W.'' Further correspondence in the record is signed with the same initials and continues through the autumn of 1955, concluding in the manner detailed herein. Livesey''s writing career survived the end of her dealings with Eden by four years, through July of 1959, after which the trail goes cold.

Power and the Glory
''Glamour, scholarship and superlative storytelling [...] an enthralling read.''LUCY WORSLEYAdrian Tinniswood opens the doors on the excess, intrigue and absurdities of life in the late Victorian and Edwardian country houseIn the decades before the First World War, the owners of the nation’s stately homes revelled in a golden age of glory and glamour. Nothing lay beyond their reach in a world where privilege and hedonism went hand-in-hand with duty and honour.This was a time when the ancestral seats of ancient nobility stood side-by-side with the fabulous palaces of Jewish bankers and Indian princes, when dukes and duchesses mixed with aristocratic society hostesses who had learned to dance in the chorus line and self-made millionaires who had been raised in the slums of Manchester and Birmingham.The Power and the Glory explores the country house during this golden age, when Britain ruled over a quarter of the world’s population, when its stately homes were at their most opulent and when, for the privileged few, life in the country house was the best life of all.''A wonderful book.''JUDITH FLANDERS''Scintillating and brilliant, from a master of the subject.''GARETH RUSSELL
