Book excerpt: *Please note: this is part three of Hattie’s story. The series is best read in order. Her adventure starts in Sandwiches in Seabury.* This is Seabury - where everyone knows everyone, the average tourist hasn't got a clue it even exists, and that's just how the locals like it! Another day, another full house of bookings at the new Pebble Street Hotel restaurant. Head chef Hattie Barclay is thrilled – and completely exhausted. Things are going well. Maybe a little too well… She hasn’t really had the chance to explore her new home much… or her new boyfriend, come to that. In fact, she’s not even sure she can call Ben her boyfriend when they haven’t had the chance to do much more than escape for an occasional walk on the beach. Hattie’s quickly discovering that living in a hotel room doesn’t lend itself to… well… you know! And Ben doesn’t seem too keen on inviting her to his place for some reason. When Lionel lets slip about a potential rival for Ben’s affections, Hattie realises that she might have bigger problems on her plate than her ridiculously busy schedule. Just to complicate matters further, there are rumours of another chef in town. One with a ridiculous orange top-knot and a notoriously short fuse... it seems that Marco Brooks is in Seabury and determined to stir the pot! Can Ben survive the roasting that’s coming his way? Will things between him and Hattie finally start to sizzle? Or is Hattie’s newfound happiness destined to boil over? A small town, seaside adventure full of friendship, fun and laughter! For fans of Holly Martin, Polly Babbington and Heidi Swain. Surprises in Seabury is the sixth novella in the Seabury series - and the final part of Hattie's story.

Book excerpt: Alice Merryfield’s plans for revitalising Upper Bamton Vineyard are starting to unravel… The new visitors’ centre is nowhere near being finished… She might have made a mistake when she hired her ex-boyfriend for the job… And now he and his team of builders have done a bunk! With the first Knit One Pour One wine and wool evening looming, Alice doesn’t have anywhere to host it – and her nerves are fraying fast. When she discovers a trespasser parked near the river, Alice’s first instinct is to kick the unwelcome visitor off their land. The only thing that makes her pause is the loud snoring coming from the back of the beaten-up old van. Maybe she’ll come back later! The vineyard has always been Alice’s home and she’s determined to make it the centre of the community again – just like it had been when her mother was alive. It has taken a lot to convince her father that it’s finally time to let people back into their little world. Now that she has his - rather grudging - blessing, she’s determined to make it happen… somehow. Is it too late for Alice to unpick the tangle she’s in? Could her ex spin a convincing enough yarn to win her back? One thing’s for sure – the vineyard’s future is hanging by a thread, and change is coming whether Alice is ready for it or not!

Patricia’s not one to easily loose her temper, but with the most important deadline of her career fast approaching - she’s back to square one and her stress levels are at an all-time high. She’s due to present her new knitwear collection to buyers in London, but all she’s got right now is a room full of wet wool, and pile of precious patterns that have turned into papier-mâché. Patricia is at her wits end and more than ready for a good rant! Desperately searching for the right gear as she wobbles her way along the rain-soaked, riverside path towards her cottage, Patricia spots a random bloke lurking on her private land. Bingo – the perfect target! As she reaches for the bell to get his attention, the bike starts to skid and suddenly she’s sliding straight towards the deep, swirling waters of the river Bamton. As the rain continues to fall and the river threatens to burst its banks, will a pair of strong arms wearing a beautifully knitted jumper manage to put Patricia back on track? Or is she simply in for a dangerous dunking? The perfect summer story for those cosy, rainy days. Rainy Days in Upper Bamton is the second standalone novella in the Upper Bamton series.

Book excerpt: Holly Billingham is in seventh heaven - it’s her favourite time of year – and she’s determined to celebrate it properly. Her pine-scented house is festooned with tinsel and dripping with mistletoe… and no, she won’t apologise! All this sparkle is for her. Just her. And that’s okay. Really it is. Holly had almost forgotten what it felt like to celebrate Christmas. Her ex-husband, Colin, was the biggest scrooge she’d ever met. Now that she’s finally free of him - she's got a lot of making up to do for all those barren, tinsel-free years. Bouncing into Billingham’s Finest Chocolates, Holly can’t quite wrap her head around why everyone else looks like they’ve been bitten on their behinds by something far less fun than the festive spirit. Her grandad’s gorgeous little chocolate factory is her favourite place on earth. Sure… it’s taking her a while to get to grips with the fact that it’s her factory now… but she’s sure the rest of them will warm to her… eventually! Her grandad’s old workforce is a well-oiled machine – admittedly one that still runs on steam power – but they know better than her how to handle the holiday rush. Holly’s determined not to get in the way… until she hears something less-than-festive muttered on the breeze… something to do with Colin. Cue one seriously cute locksmith, an ancient Labrador with a thing for Christmas jumpers, and a whole lot of yuletide chaos as Holly makes it her mission to ensure that even the most ardent grump feels the full force of her season’s greetings. A feisty, funny, festive romance... for anyone in serious need of some holiday spirit! For fans of Heidi Swain, Holly Martin and Polly Babbington.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the removal of sexual orientation as a bar to ordination in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), pending approval of a majority of presbyteries, and the Episcopal Church’s 2009 General Convention calling for the development of theological and liturgical resources for same-sex blessings, sexual orientation—especially with regard to marriage—is a central issue. Secularly, too, the topic is front-page news with the recent California same-gender marriage ruling and subsequent Proposition 8 vote and the update of the Massachusetts same-gender marriage law. This book sets forth the case for religious institutions’ blessing of same-gender marriage, positing that same-gender marriage does not detract from the sacredness of heterosexual marriage, but rather enhances and nourishes the institution. Chapters include: • Claiming the Blessing • Deeper Than Scripture • Traditional Family Values • The Sacred Source of Marriage • Sex and the Body of Christ • Marriage As a Spiritual Discipline “Marriage is a spiritual discipline in which we come to know ourselves as beloved, trustworthy, redeemed, forgiven, and blessed, and at the same time learn how to love, be faithful, redeem, forgive, and bless the partner as well as the community.” —Chris Glaser

Book excerpt: From Samuel Tilden's fight against Tammany Hall to George Bush's references to Willie Horton, politicians have routinely exploited issues of crime to achieve success at the polls. Nowhere has this been more evident than in New York City in the 1930s. Fighting Organized Crime brings to life the dramatic interplay between crime and politics in New York City during this period, and in the process provides the first major examination of how politicians manipulate the justice system for their own ends - all in all a colorful saga of major New York figures jockeying for headlines and political gain in their battles against notorious gangsters.

Book excerpt: In this twisty Victorian detective thriller from the author of The Darwin Affair, Inspector Charles Field hunts a serial killer with a sinister signature targeting Florence Nightingale’s nurses in Crimea and women in London. Who is stalking Florence Nightingale and her nurses? Is it the legendary Beast of the Crimean, or someone closer to home? In 1855, Britain and France are fighting to keep the Russians from snatching the Crimean Peninsula from the Ottoman Empire, and Nightingale, a wealthy young society woman, has made it her mission to improve the wretched conditions in the British military hospitals in Turkey—despite fierce objections from the male doctors around her. When young women start turning up dead, their mouths sewn shut with embroidered fabric roses, Inspector Charles Field (the real-life inspiration for Charles Dickens’s Inspector Bucket in Bleak House) is sent from England to find the killer among the doctors, military men, journalists, and others swarming Turkey’s famous Barrack Hospital. Here Field meets both the famous Nightingale as well as Nurse Jane Rolly, the woman who will become his wife, and as he races to protect them, the prime suspect takes his own life. Case closed. Or is it? Twelve years later, back in London, amid the turmoil surrounding the expansion of voting rights, women again start turning up dead, their mouths covered by that telltale embroidered rose. Did Field suspect the wrong man before, or is he dealing with a deviant copycat? Either way, he must race against time to stop the killer before more bodies are discovered, and before his own family gets pulled into danger. Populated by real figures of the day, from Benjamin Disraeli to novelist Wilkie Collins to, of course, Florence Nightingale herself, and steeped in historical details of 1860s London, The Nightingale Affair plays out against a backdrop of a rapidly changing society. Most of all, it is a pure reading delight, offering shocks, unforgettably vivid scenes, and surprising twists.
