Book excerpt: Now in paperback, the hugely acclaimed, authorised biography of Britain's most popular playwright Alan Ayckbourn is Britain's most popular playwright and its most private. He has won numerous awards for his plays and has worked with some of theatre's most celebrated names, yet he spends most of his time away from the limelight in a Yorkshire seaside town not writing at all but running a small repertory theatre. This is a portrait of a man who - from Relatively Speaking in 1965 to his double play House and Garden at the National Theatre in 2000 - has chronicled human behaviour, our aspirations and insecurities, while shaping the theatrical experience of millions. "Mr Allen's book makes me want to start reading the entire Ayckbourn canon over again...splendid stuff" Hugh Leonard, Sunday Independent "Paul Allen has come up with a wise, well-informed book that not only persuades us of Ayckbourn's genius but also helps to explain this complex, driven man" Michael Billington, Country Life "Lucid, meticulously researched ... this impressively detailed account benefits from Paul Allen's rich inside knowledge of theatre" Terry Eagleton, Times Literary Supplement "Thorough and enjoyable" Christopher Hirst, Independent

That is, until he has the misfortune to witness a murder in the alley behind Jolly's Deli -- and worse, to be seen witnessing it. With all of his nine lives suddenly at risk, Joe's got no choice but to get to the bottom of the heinous crime -- because his mouse-hunting days are over for good unless he can help bring a killer to justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as a classic of speculative fiction, Marge Piercy’s landmark novel is a transformative vision of two futures—and what it takes to will one or the other into reality. Harrowing and prescient, Woman on the Edge of Time speaks to a new generation on whom these choices weigh more heavily than ever before. Connie Ramos is a Mexican American woman living on the streets of New York. Once ambitious and proud, she has lost her child, her husband, her dignity—and now they want to take her sanity. After being unjustly committed to a mental institution, Connie is contacted by an envoy from the year 2137, who shows her a time of sexual and racial equality, environmental purity, and unprecedented self-actualization. But Connie also bears witness to another potential outcome: a society of grotesque exploitation in which the barrier between person and commodity has finally been eroded. One will become our world. And Connie herself may strike the decisive blow. Praise for Woman on the Edge of Time “This is one of those rare novels that leave us different people at the end than we were at the beginning. Whether you are reading Marge Piercy’s great work again or for the first time, it will remind you that we are creating the future with every choice we make.”—Gloria Steinem “An ambitious, unusual novel about the possibilities for moral courage in contemporary society.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer “A stunning, even astonishing novel . . . marvelous and compelling.”—Publishers Weekly “Connie Ramos’s world is cuttingly real.”—Newsweek “Absorbing and exciting.”—The New York Times Book Review

Book excerpt: When the girl with the golden hair manipulates betrayal, her people may be given their only hope of surviving. The stories say the Goldilocks stepped into the Baers’ roles, only finding her perfect fit at the end, but they never said what she would have to go through to discover where she belonged or that she would have to step away from everyone’s plans for her life in order to create her own and save her people from the Society. Having found a stronghold amongst the soldiers trying to end them, the Baers will use their hold over Magistrate Canton to control the Society and free their people—if Shadoe’s hunger for power doesn’t destroy them all and cause their plans to crumble. As Dov and Auluria race to the Camps to free the young men and women being held here in hopes of finding new allies for their ongoing war, they uncover just how deep the Society’s hold is on their country. In their greatest battle yet, Goldilocks and the three Baers will have to fight for the fate of an entire country, bringing down the corrupt government, deciding who is friend or foe, and toppling the Wall in the fight for their freedom, but no one will make it out unscathed—if they make it out at all. When allegiances align and battle lines are drawn, her destruction might be the only thing to save them all.

Book excerpt: Under tennis courts at a ruined Suffolk abbey, archaeologists make a thrilling find: the remains of St Edmund, king and martyr. He was venerated for centuries as England's patron saint, but his body has been lost since the closure of the monasteries. Culture Secretary Marina Spencer, adored by those who don't know her, jumps on the bandwagon. Egged on by her downtrodden adviser Mark Price, she promotes St Edmund as a new patron saint for the United Kingdom, playing up his Scottish, Welsh, and Irish credentials. Unfortunately these credentials are a fiction, invented by Mark in a moment of panic. As crisis looms, the one person who can see through the whole deception is Mark's cousin Hannah, a dig volunteer. Will she blow the whistle or help him out? And what of St Edmund himself, watching through the baffling prism of a very different age? Splicing ancient and modern as he did in The Hopkins Conundrum and A Right Royal Face-Off, Simon Edge pokes fun at Westminster culture and celebrates the cult of a medieval saint in this beguiling and utterly original comedy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychological drama with a masterful, pulse-quickening plot revolving around two seemingly very different men, who have more in common than they know. Thomas Clarin is a divorce lawyer whose profession has fostered a deep and abiding distrust of marriage, preferring instead to "play the field." Thomas Loos is a somber widower intensely mourning his wife's death. With Clarin's flirtatious, roving eye and Loos's complete disenchantment with the world around him, it would seem these men had nothing in common. But after a fateful meeting in a crowded Swiss restaurant, the two strike up a conversation that unearths unnerving coincidences. With brilliant ease, Werner's meticulously rendered story begins quietly at first, then grabs its reader, refusing to let go. On the Edge, widely acclaimed by reviewers as a treasure of contemporary German literature, has been published in 15 different countries, and has sold over 400,000 copies in Germany alone since its publication in 2004.

Book excerpt: Tanya Singha needs to prove that she is not just a screw up. A chance meeting in Goa lands her a prestigious job which just might turn her life around. But things get complicated when she falls for her new boss like a ton of bricks who is already engaged to someone else. A long suppressed financial fraud, a massive scandal and she finds herself betrayed and branded a criminal on the run! Whom to trust? Where to run? And how to save the man she couldn’t help but fall in love with? Welcome to a New Series- the Edge of Precipice Dive into a world of the ultra rich with their glittering lives, love triangles and betrayals..... PROLOGUE Her heart sank. She could feel the tingling in her nose which signalled the onset of tears. The first drop spilled out just as she heard voices to her right. Ilario! Her feet moved of their own volition towards the voices as the volume increased. A shout halted her in her tracks. “How dare you?" Mateo De Russo. Mateo is here! Panic set in and turned her cold. Mateo is with Ilario. Uncaring about the sharp cobblestones stinging her already injured feet, she rushed forward even as the argument increased in volume. This time it was Ilario. “How dare I? How dare you? You put papa in danger. And after everything he did for you. Isn’t it enough to have you as the bad egg of the family, did you have to drag down all of us?” “You brought it on yourself, Rio.” The hissing voice had just that hint of madness that Tanya had come to dread in the last few months. Mateo was mad, real mad. She came to a halt only a few meters from them, in the shadow of the veranda shade. She could see their silhouette, one tall, another a little shorter, standing dangerously close to the edge of the precipice. Mateo had his fingers on Ilario’s collar as he continued shouting at him. “I offered you to be a part of it, you refused. You interfered in my business, turned my own staff against me.” “You needed to be stopped Mateo.” Ilario’s stern voice was measured. “I warned you again and again. Papa warned you. But you never listened.” “So you sent her to spy on me.” Mateo’s laugh was full of scorn this time. “You thought I’d never find out, eh?” Tanya’s heart stilled. They had to be talking about her! “You knew?” Ilario’s asked quietly. “You bet I knew. I saw you two. I saw you!” Silence, except the muted thump of the stereo from the party. Tanya waited with bated breath. “Where is she, Mateo?” Ilario’s tone didn’t change, it was still soft, still measured. “Where is she really?” Mateo didn’t laugh this time. “Gone.” For a few moments nothing happened. Then suddenly, a growl erupted from Ilario as he clutched Mateo’s shirtfront and bodily lifted him off the ground. “Dov'è Tanya?” He roared at his sibling. Insane as Matteo was, he didn’t even try to struggle against Ilario’s hold. “It hurts. Doesn’t it, Rio? It hurts to know you’ll never see her again.” Ilario dropped him. A single whispery “No” was all that came out of him. Her senses returned. With a sharp cry, she rushed forward, all her concentration on her lover, the love of her life. “Rio!” Even as she stretched out her hand towards the man who was her everything, Mateo’s fingers curled around the trigger. The single shot rent the still night air, yet the music didn’t stop. No one heard it, no one witnessed what unfolded right at the edge of that cliff.

Book excerpt: Through her engaged and articulate essays in the Village Voice, C. Carr has emerged as the cultural historian of the New York underground and the foremost critic of performance art. On Edge brings together her writings to offer a detailed and insightful history of this vibrant brand of theatre from the late 70s to today. It represents both Carr’s analysis as a critic and her testament as a witness to performances which, by their very nature, can never be repeated. Carr has organized this collection both chronologically and thematically, ranging from the emphasis on bodily manipulation/endurance in the 70s to the underground club scene in New York to an insider’s analysis of the Tompkins Square Riot as a manifestation of the cultural and social conflicts that underlie much of performance art. She examines the transgressive and taboo-shattering work of Ethyl Eichelberger, Karen Finley, and Holly Hughes; documents specific performances by Annie Sprinkle and Lydia Lunch; and maps the development of such artists as Robbie McCauley, Blue Man Group, and John Jesurun. She also describes the “cross-over” phenomenon of the mid-80s and considers the far-right backlash against this mainstreaming as cultural reactionaries sought to curb the influence of these new artists.

Book excerpt: ‘The Edge is a scathing portrait of the music industry, and a love letter to Los Angeles – but most of all it's a meditation on growing up and letting go.’ Janelle Brown, author of Watch Me Disappear ‘Insightful and true, The Edge is the real deal.’ Alan Parks, author of Bloody January WHAT COMES AFTER THE HIGH? Los Angeles. Sex and drugs, and rock and roll. It’s the life we all dream of, right? Brit Adam Fairhead has everything he ever wanted. At least he thought he did. But the life he now leads and the music industry he works in feel increasingly vapid and the comedowns he’s experiencing are harder to come up from. Disillusioned with what once seemed so pulsatingly cool, Adam has to decide what he actually wants, and more importantly, how to get it. The Edge is a hilarious and candid novel about how things can go wrong even when all your dreams come true.
