What Do You Do When Your Dog Grows Old?
An inspirational poem about those friends who have loved us unconditionally
What Do You Do When Your Dog Grows Old? is a tender, poetic tribute to the dogs who've walked beside us through the seasons of life. With soft, heartfelt verse and emotional depth, Jackie Short gently guides readers through the bittersweet journey of loving-and eventually letting go of-an aging dog.
This beautifully written poem captures the quiet changes of time: tired paws, fading sight, and the wisdom in a graying face. Yet in every line, there is love-unwavering, devoted, and full of grace.
Perfect for dog lovers of all ages, this book is both a celebration and a farewell, a comforting companion for anyone facing the inevitable goodbye. A timeless keepsake. A love letter. A healing balm for the heart.

Our Metaphorical Bodies
This book offers a fresh examination of the significance of metaphorical thinking in comprehending human bodies and actions. It delves into numerous examples illustrating metaphor's role in conceptualizing body parts, illnesses, and various mundane and artistic bodily performances, fostering a deeper appreciation for metaphor's impact on human life. One key objective is to challenge the implicit dualism prevalent in much metaphor research, where the body is often considered in nonmetaphorical terms, with metaphors arising solely from cross-domain mappings involving abstract concepts. The book exposes the flaws in this traditional perspective, emphasizing the intrinsic connection between metaphor and understanding our bodies. Recognizing this connection is essential for grasping the extensive influence of metaphor across all realms of human cognition and behavior. Additionally, this book underscores cultural variations in how we conceptualize our bodies through metaphorical frameworks, enriching our understanding of diverse perspectives on bodily experiences.

Odyssey Moscow
INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS BOOK AWARD (IPPY) GOLD MEDAL FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY‘In his captivating memoir, Calvey describes the routine of his two-month incarceration in a cell shared with seven other inmates, as well as the often absurd constraints imposed on him.’ – Maria Lipman, Foreign AffairsIt is dawn on Thursday, 14 February 2019, and armed FSB agents are raiding Michael Calvey’s Moscow apartment. He is being arrested for a crime that never happened. Twenty-eight years earlier, Calvey – a newly graduated, aspiring Wall Street hotshot – made a short trip from America to the recently collapsed USSR to look at potential investments. Sensing huge opportunity, he soon based himself in Moscow, where he lived through the ‘Wild East’ years and went on to build several billion-dollar funds – earning enormous returns for Western investors as Russia opened up to international business. He gained a reputation that would lead to Bloomberg describing him as ‘a legend in the Russian market, with a reputed aversion to any kind of foul play’. But now, he finds himself thrown into Moscow’s notorious Matrosskaya Tishina prison on charges trumped up by local business rivals. As the White House and Kremlin argue about his incarceration, Calvey is caught in a Kafka-esque trap, denied access to evidence proving his innocence. Odyssey Moscow is the story not just of Michael Calvey, but of how Russia’s era of hope and aspiration finally died, and how light can be found in the darkest of places. ‘His spirited memoir, Odyssey Moscow: One American’s Journey from Russia Optimist to Prisoner of the State, is an Icarus story of how a man seen as a legend in the Russian market ended up behind bars for an imaginary crime.’ – Anne Mcelvoy, Financial Times

The Bewitching
'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches': that was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva - stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales.
In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch.
Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.
