Aphrodite
From the author of Herc, a Waterstones Best Book of the Year ‘Particularly skilled in evoking the strangeness and contradictoriness of Greek myths’ Sunday Times ‘A joyful exploration of one woman's quest for home, power, identity and ultimately, freedom from fate. A genuine pleasure to read!’ Clare North, author of Ithaca * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ‘I’m a liar, to begin with.’ I wasn’t always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty – you’ll have heard. It’s legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me. It took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was that good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back. But of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when you’re ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldn’t live at someone’s mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit’s not a lie… I intended to win. A wonderful tale set in Ancient Greece where a being with no power rises to the very top by outwitting other gods all while maintaining a sense of exactly who she is – a goddess who intends to always do it her way. Perfect for fans of Ferdia Lennon, Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Authors and readers ADORE Aphrodite: 'Sparkles with wicked humour and boundless imagination' Kate Heartfield, Sunday Times bestselling author ‘Welcome the Real Housewives of Olympus. Stunning, brilliant, witty, so delicious it could only be divine’ Reader review 'Wit and verve, contrasting laugh-out-loud humour with moments of surprising tenderness' Luna McNamara, author of Pysche and Eros 'With sharp dialogue and dynamic scenes, it plays like a divine reality show' Woman&Home 'I can't emphasise enough how much I adored this version of Aphrodite – wickedly funny, caustic, fierce, playful and cheeky yet with a soft centre' Reader review 'Aphrodite gives a human voice to the inhuman goddess that you can’t help but love' Lizzy Tiffin, author of Bad Girls of Ancient Greece 'If you’ve ever wondered what Tina Fey retelling your favorite myths would be like, Phoenicia Rogerson has the answer' Ian Doescher, author of the William Shakespeare's Star Wars series 'Greek Mythology has never been so engaging, witty and clever as now!'

Edinburgh: The Autobiography
Relive the history of Edinburgh through the eyes of those who witnessed it. From one of the earliest mentions of its name in the sixth century to the Covid lockdowns of the twenty-first, this is a magnificent portrait of one of the world’s great cities in its many iterations, from ‘Edinburgh, the sink of abomination’ to the Athens of the North and everything – including the home of the Enlightenment, the Festival City, the Aids Capital of Europe and a Mecca for tourists seeking tartan tat – in between. As the nation’s capital it has been critical to its progress and a witness to epochal events, such the tumultuous reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, the Reformation, the Forty-Five rebellion, the Disruption of the Church of Scotland and the reconvening of the Scottish Parliament. All of these and more feature. But this is not simply a book about the great and good, the famous and infamous. There is testimony aplenty from ordinary folk who may not have made their mark on history but who have contributed to Edinburgh’s ever-expanding tapestry. There are stories of body snatching and murder, drunkenness and drug-taking, sex and shopping, as well rants against inclement weather and the city council.

Ramsholt is both love letter and lament, a powerful meditation on memory, nature, and the importance of home.
