Cassidy Jordan knows she’ll die a few weeks after her eighteenth birthday, and she can’t wait. This is her second time here, and she knows what’s waiting for her in The Life-After—the place most mistakenly call “the afterlife.” Getting back there is supposed to be easy: she just has to find nineteen-year-old Riley Davis and help him get his life on track. By the time she finds him, though, she has only seven weeks to help him. Riley will die too young if she fails, and she’ll never see The Life-After or this life again.

But no one told her helping Riley would mean dating him; she hasn’t dated anyone since the love of her first life caused her death the last time she turned eighteen. When Cassidy realizes she’s falling for Riley, she’s faced with a choice: give him the life he’s meant for and leave when it’s time, or give up eternity for the true love she’s never had, knowing Riley will die the same way she did in her first life and that her entire existence could end at any time.

“Romantic comedy meets celebrity murder mystery”

Can a barmaid convince a secret agent she can help him solve a celebrity murder mystery?

When celebrities need a crime solving quickly and discreetly they call in the specialists, the Celebrity Crimes Investigation Agency, otherwise known as the CCIA…

One desperate phone call is all it takes to turn Amber’s day from boring to completely crazy.

The call? Her old university boyfriend Ennis, now a heartthrob actor, begs for Amber’s help.
His brother Joel is dead and Ennis has to discover the truth about his death before the world’s media hear about it and batter his door down demanding answers.

The CCIA has already assigned its top agent, Charlie Huxton, to the case.
Amber’s mission? Ennis doesn’t trust a stranger to keep quiet so he pleads with Amber to shadow and help Charlie throughout the investigation. Ennis was her first love and she still has a soft spot for him – how can she refuse?

Scarily out of her depth Amber knows she needs to somehow get Charlie on side with her involvement in the case – and fast.

Plunged into the world of crime Amber’s battling something darker and far more dangerous than she’d imagined – and it has nothing to do with the equally scary chemistry fizzing between her and Charlie.

Will Charlie agree to work with her to find out how and why Joel died?

Can she help uncover the truth before word gets out and an already distraught Ennis is hounded by story-hungry journalists?

Just as importantly, can she keep her sanity and manage to still be alive when the mystery is finally solved?

This is magical poetry that speaks straight to the heart. Spoken word poet Matt Gardner writes in the simple, beautiful style of traditional poets with the exciting devices and clarity of a performance poet. Life is truly a winding road.

About the Author:
Matt Gardner’s poetry is a little untamed, sometimes a little unorthodox and absolutely always packed to overflowing with meaning and story. Then again coming away from those intense and often dangerous years on the frontline of trauma work, rehabilitation, and aboriginal empowerment it’s impossible to not look at things at least a little differently.

Inspired by his experiences Matt’s work is a mixture of uplifting moment, deep appreciation for those small things in our everyday, and crystal clear reflection. His work is highly emotive much like the man himself and his ability to capture a complex feeling in words is second to none.

About the Book
At the age of 30, Tess has had three jobs and three significant relationships with two men and one woman – each lasting three years. Drifting through life, confused about her sexuality, Tess decides to live a life of celibacy and to open up a restaurant devoted to soup. Tess has a talent for making soups with strong medicinal and spiritual qualities – something passed down from her great-great grandmother, a descendant of one of the Salem witches.

In the second week of the restaurant’s opening, an elderly professor of English, Roger Beanstock, comes in at closing time. “Beany,” haunted by his own past has lived a celibate life devoted to his work. He visits the restaurant every Thursday night for the next year to share soup and wine with Tess, which she calls the Year of Soup, before taking his life. Shortly after Beany’s death, Tess meets Jim at the restaurant, a furniture maker with his own reasons for keeping to himself. It is through a series of letters that “Beany” has left for Tess that she learns the truth about the Professor, is able to come to terms with her own sexuality, and discover Jim’s own tragic secret that will change both of their lives.

A Great Summer read and a real A To Kill A Mockingbird story. Tobacco Sticks takes us back to the Southern town of Richmond in 1946. It is the story of a Senatorial campaign, the rise of the unions, and Burke Hartwell, a lawyer and civic minded man who must choose between two worlds. The war is ending and for Lee Hartwell and his family it bodes the end of something they won’t understand until it is too late.

“Explosive racial tension, betrayal and murder, difficult ethical and social decisions, first love and a dramatic denouemont in a sweaty Virginia courtroom are skillfully entwined in this haunting tale which has all the characteristics of a good summer read.” Starred Review Publishers Weekly
Book of the Month Club Selection

“The summer my brother came home from the war was so hot they had to repave the soft tar of Hermitage Street twice. I remember watching the crews, their white t-shirts glowing in the July night with the gravel smoke dancing white under a low moon. It was the last war summer and we received a telegram saying Lucas has been wounded. First we thought he had been shot in the leg, then it became the foot.”

Cambridge University isn’t everything Lewis wanted it to be. Still hung up on a lost love affair from the past and surrounded by friends he loves and loathes in equal measure, Lewis’ life takes a dramatic turn after a chance encounter with homeless Rosie. Desperately seeking meaning among the vacuous student lifestyle, Lewis embarks on a quest to help those without homes and without voices.

Through a string of secret and sordid affairs with strange men he meets online, Lewis tries to raise money for his new homeless friends. Along the way he’ll encounter a transvestite with the lips of Brigitte Bardot, a gorgeous French traveler, and a slew of lonely men willing to pay for satisfaction.

But as Lewis delves further into the depraved, secret life of Cambridge’s backstreets, his faith in humanity and hope for his own future decline rapidly. How low is he willing to sink to make some cash?

Author Bio:
My name is Alex Norris and I am a writer based in Cambridge, UK. My passion for writing stretches longer than does my memory. I vaguely recall sitting in my living room as a child of around four years old, writing a story about a petulant kid who would answer all of his parents’ demands with “if I have to”. It has yet to win the Pulitzer prize, but at least it amused my family. As I grew older, my subject matter ranged from talking bears with a thirst for adventure to various ghost stories, fueled by my childhood love of ‘Goosebumps’ books and my own overactive imagination. I have always been an avid reader, and my own stories have been inspired by everything from the classics to contemporary cult fiction. In 2010 I was lucky enough to be granted a place to study at Cambridge University to study Spanish and Russian. It was after my second year there that I began work on my debut novel, Angel, loosely based on some of my own experiences at the university. Angel was released in 2013, and is currently available in both eBook and paperback formats. Just over a year later, in August 2014, I released my second full length novel, One Week Of Summer, via Amazon. Now I have graduated from university, I am continuing to write as much as I can, as there are so many more themes I want to explore. My stories are primarily driven by real life problems, youth culture and sexuality. I am a keen follower of pop culture and this also plays a big part in my writing. Ever since I was a teenager, I found pop music was able to express my own feelings with much more clarity than I could ever hope for. The likes of Morrissey, Amy Winehouse, PJ Harvey. Pete Doherty and Björk have all had a huge impact on me and my writing.
