Journalist Laura Ackroyd is on the move after a painful but all too familiar parting of ways with her sometime boyfriend, Yorkshire DCI Michael Thackeray. She's headed for London in the hopes of clearing her mind and focusing on her work for a change. When she witnesses the murder of a teenaged immigrant boy, however, Laura's quick getaway turns into a drawn out nightmare, which is simultaneously the professional opportunity of a lifetime and a personal catastrophe in the making. Her plan is to write a feature article for a London paper on the murder and its social and cultural implications, but revisiting the bloody memory of that night is taking a psychological toll. Meanwhile, DCI Thackeray is biding his time back in Bradfield. He's depressed at Laura's absence and faces a baffling missing persons case. A beautiful local high school girl has disappeared, and conflicting stories about her last known movements have Thackeray scratching his head. Safi Haque is by all accounts a dutiful Muslim daughter, but her parents don't want to admit what might have happened to her. When days go by with no trace of the girl, Thackeray begins to fear the worst. Neither Laura nor Thackeray are very far from the other's thoughts, despite the geographical distance between the erstwhile lovers. As they separately go about strikingly similar tasks, neither can imagine the ways in which their seemingly unconnected situations may ultimately bring them together...or perhaps tear them viciously apart.

Arrival in the Stars is a product of the aftermath of the Great War, and it deals directly with one of the widespread psychological effects of the war: a resurgence of interest in spiritualism. It is an extended conte philosophique seriously addressing the question of life after death as it was conceived at the time by scientifically-enthused psychic researchers, and as it bears upon human psychology under stress. Also included in this volume are eleven stories from Rameau’s collection Fantasmagories, which represent one of the more exaggerated developments of the conte cruel genre. These tales are extreme both stylistically and thematically, combining the cynicism and irony definitive of the subgenre with grotesque black comedy.

What if a wimpy kid was born in the Stone Age? Turning thirteen is when caveboys miraculously change from skinny, hairless, squeaky-voiced cowards (like me) to thick-browed, hair-covered, deep-grunting cavemen (like my best friend Ug). That's when we're tested. It's called the Arrival. You're supposed to disappear into the woods and return with something big, dangerous or rare - preferably all three. Except I can't even lift a club above my shoulder. Even with my friends Ug and Saleeka trying to teach me to hunt, I don't have a chance. If I fail the Arrival, there'll be an extra line on my family's stone tablet saying: Helix was banished to the Dark Side because he was a massive embarrassment to his family, as well as any self-respecting caveman on the mountain. So my story might as well end here, but I'll keep telling it anyway. Charcoal meat on a stick, anyone?

A proper quest based adventure with a curious sense of realism and a love story that doesn't grate. With new twists on creatures we've seen before, and brand new creatures. The battles were some of the best I've read, and I read a lot! As a whole, this trilogy is a phenominal piece of fantasy literature. I cannot recommend it enough.' NetGalley Reviewer 'The characters are incredible, the story is entertaining as well as well written, and the world building is amazing!  The love story twisted in with the magic and the fantastical creatures is great.  It is an all around MUST read!' The Wormhole (Blog) Reviews'This book is an adventure and a half. ...Think Lord of the Rings meets a really interesting and witty chick lit book' Sweet Tea & Book Reviews'An entertaining read ... fans of this genre will be particularly enthralled with the girls adventures.' LindyLouMac Reviews'Once you get past the author's unconventional story telling style--swapping to another point of view--this is a great read. I enjoyed enough to go on and buy the next two books in the trilogy, and after a reading splurge on a three week holiday, Nicole MacDonald's characters and world were those that have stayed with me the longest.' NetGalley Reviewer'It is a good quest based story. Those fond of paranormal romance will most likely enjoy the story' Tiffany's Bookshelf Reviews 'AWESOME!! Despite being skeptical of the fantasy genre I was pleasantly surprised and left wanting more. I struggled to put this book down and despite my busy schedule found myself trying to read it any free moment, I had to find out what happened next!' Amazon ReviewerFrom the AuthorI wrote this book as a way to address my own frustrations at the frequent downplaying of female characters in action/adventure/romance stories. I wanted girls who did it all! And it took me on some interesting journeys--including six months of long sword training combined with self defence and bare knuckle fighting (not so great for the thin skinned ;p). Do check out the sample as I write in a not-so-common style and if you do read it, I hope it whisks you away to a magickal place with griffons, dragons, and kick-ass girls who aren't afraid to stand up for themselves. Screw being the damsel in distress!

A British detective must find the killer of a much-despised villager in this mystery from "a modern-day version of Agatha Christie" (Booklist). Det. Inspector Luke Thanet's stomach clenches up as soon as he hears the phrase "head bashed in." Even after countless homicides, the mild-mannered country cop has never gotten comfortable with murder, and his latest case is particularly upsetting. The dead man is found in bed, apparently the victim of a single blow with a blunt object.
