Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bend Like the Willow by Alberta author Susan Glasier is a many-layered story of a young naïve American girl who sets out for her first year of university and finds instead a shocking introduction into a cross-cultural marriage of contradiction, mystery and eventual heartbreak. "If I take you to my country," he tells her, "you must learn to bend like the willow or you will snap." Along the path to bending like the willow, she discovers that life in post-war Algeria with two babies is as fraught with danger and sadness as is the man she married. Both are burdened with hopes and expectations that can never be fulfilled. When war breaks out in the Middle East, he sends her away with his children promising they can return when there is peace. In the end, Bend Like the Willow is the tale of a woman who loves a man and a man who loves his country. He is so committed to honouring his love of country and tradition that he fulfills the promise he made to his wife's father⿿even though it means breaking apart four lives. "Susan Glasier has written a riveting memoir that reads like a novel. Bend Like the Willow is one of those rare books that gets under your skin and enters the bloodstream. It left me in tears."⿿Wolfgang Carstens, Epic Rites Press "I couldn't put Bend Like the Willow down⿿read it in two nights⿿it really got my attention."⿿Roy Cust, R C Appraisals

Book excerpt: "Beware he who wrestles with monsters, lest he become a monster himself" - Nietzsche ... The suspicious death of an Aerospace Executive, Ted Barber, rocks the Defense giant, Global Defense Analytics. In an attempt to quickly investigate, the firm calls on retired CIA operative, Stanley Wisniewski. Time is of the essence, as the firm is days away from naming Langston Powell, the last person seen with Barber, as their next CEO. Stanley Wisniewski, with demons of his own, is haunted by the three deathbed promises he made some forty years ago to his father, a survivor of the Nazi Auschwitz concentration camp. Activating his old European network, he reunites with the mysterious Jean Paul. Together they begin to unravel this complex story of Good vs. Evil, and the weak suffering at the hands of the strong. Set in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., California, London, Amsterdam and Poland, two stories of Stanley and his father intertwine, creating the incendiary fuse to the climatic events in Warsaw.

Book excerpt: One of NPR’s 50 Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of the Decade: A fifteenth-century palace mapmaker must hide his powers in the time of the Inquisition . . . Award-winning author G. Willow Wilson’s debut novel Alif the Unseen was an NPR and Washington Post Best Book of the Year and established her as a vital American Muslim literary voice. Now she delivers The Bird King, an epic journey set during the reign of the last sultan in the Iberian peninsula at the height of the Spanish Inquisition. Fatima is a concubine in the royal court of Granada, the last emirate of Muslim Spain. Her dearest friend, Hassan, the palace mapmaker and the one man who doesn’t leer at her with desire, has a secret—he can draw maps of places he’s never seen and bend the shape of reality. When representatives of the newly formed Spanish monarchy arrive to negotiate the sultan’s surrender, Fatima befriends one of the women, not realizing that she will see Hassan’s gift as sorcery and a threat to Christian Spanish rule. With their freedoms at stake, what will Fatima risk to save Hassan and escape the palace walls? As the two traverse Spain with the help of a clever jinn to find safety, The Bird King asks us to consider what love is and the price of freedom at a time when the West and the Muslim world were not yet separate. “Wilson has a deft hand with myth and with magic, and the kind of smart, honest writing mind that knits together and bridges cultures and people.” —Neil Gaiman, author of Norse Mythology “A triumph . . . one of the best fantasy writers working today.” —BookPage “A treasure-house of a novel, thrilling, tender, funny, and achingly gorgeous. I loved it.” —Lev Grossman, author of the Magicians trilogy

Book excerpt: “A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling. Her unique approach, which she calls “horticultural how-to and woo-woo,” is a blend of vital information you need to memorize and intuitive steps you must simply feel and surrender to. In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world.

An interrupted phone call and a mysterious disappearance bring a family's secret past crashing into the present... 1969: Small–town girl Faith Taylor leaves her family home in Willow Tree Bend and lands a job at the Angel–Melbourne's most infamous nightclub. While Faith relishes her new–found freedom, she can't help noticing that some things about the club don't add up. So when a policeman reveals that a former waitress was murdered, Faith realises she must help to bring down the shadowy owner behind the club's activities. More than thirty years later, what happened at the Angel remains a closely held secret. When Faith disappears, her sister Hope–now a famous movie star–is left with an intriguing, though frustrating, piece of the puzzle. But with a tell–all documentary film crew constantly by her side, how can she find where Faith is–and what she's hiding–while making sure her own secrets stay hidden? Faith's daughter, Sam, is also concerned by her mother's uncharacteristic behaviour. When she overhears a clue to Faith's past, she's determined to unearth the truth. What is the connection between the Angel and Willow Tree Bend? What does Faith's disappearance mean? And what will happen when the final secret is revealed?
