Little Girls Sleeping by Jennifer Chase

Little Girls Sleeping by Jennifer Chase

She looked at the smiling, eager face of the little girl in the photograph, with dark hair, bright-green eyes, a missing front tooth, and her entire life ahead of her. Chelsea was last seen walking back from a friend’s house one summer afternoon. She never made it home…

An eight-year-old girl, Chelsea Compton, is missing in Pine Valley, California and for Detective Katie Scott it’s a cruel reminder of the friend who disappeared from summer camp twenty years ago. Unable to shake the memories, Katie vows she won’t rest until she discovers what happened to Chelsea.

But as Katie starts to investigate – her PTSD flashbacks kept at bay with the help of her loyal ex-military dog, Cisco – the case reveals itself to be much bigger and more shocking than she feared. Deep in the forest, she unearths a makeshift cemetery: a row of graves, each with a brightly coloured teddy bear.

Tracing the silk lining the coffins, Katie links the graves to a stack of missing-persons cases involving young girls – finding a pattern no one else has managed to see. Someone in Pine Valley has been taking the town’s daughters for years, and Katie is the only one who can stop them.

And then another little girl goes missing, snatched from the park near her home…

Compulsive and gripping crime fiction for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh. Katie Scott’s first case will have you on the edge of your seat and gasping with shock.

Phaedra, a Minoan princess, marries out of duty and to safeguard her precious home. She falls in love with Hippolytos, her husband’s son and asks the Goddess Aphrodite for help. He spurns her affections.

The Trojan War, one of history’s greatest stories ever told. What if the legend as told is wrong? History is told by the victors, and facts changed to twist the truth. Is it possible Helen of Sparta never went to Troy?

Hera, Queen of the Gods, is the most powerful goddess on Mount Olympos. For the first time ever in a candid interview, Hera shares what it’s like to be a goddess and wife to Zeus, the King of the Gods.

Created by the gods as a gift to humanity, Pandora is the first woman on Earth. Did she know what Zeus intended when he presented an urn as a wedding dowry to her husband? Neither she nor Epimetheus knew what it contained, but they were told never to open it.

All Medousa wanted was a life of love and acceptance but one fateful night it changed. While she’s alone in the Temple of Athene tending to the sacred fire, Poseidon pays a visit. No human can stop an immortal from taking what they want.

They hatch a plan to head out into the watery ruins of humanity in search of lost technology and materials.

Participant/Observer: An Unconventional Like in Politics and Academia

About Participant/Observer: An Unconventional Like in Politics and Academia

​​Participant/Observer
An Unconventional Life in Politics and Academia
by Henry Milner
www.participant-observer.com
Some engage in politics; others observe it, but the author of this political memoir is among the few that have had the chance to do both. In these pages, Henry Milner shares his experiences as a student and community activist, an anglophone insider and strategist in the Parti Québécois, and a close observer over several decades of social democracy in practice in Scandinavia and beyond.

Participant/Observer is a political autobiography of a generation, one that reached maturity in the 1960s and 1970s, told through one person’s story. In concluding, Milner holds out hope that this account of his generations’ successes—and failures—can be of use to current generations as they face the threat posed by populist and authoritarian forces. www. Participant-observer.com One of Canada’s leading public intellectuals, Henry Milner recounts his life as a committed thinker and activist. He is a practical idealist in the best sense. This book deserves a wide audience in schools and in the halls of power on how to live a life of value and meaning.
–Derek Shearer, Chevalier Professor of Diplomacy, Occidental College, and former US ambassador to Finland

Henry Milner has been both an actor and a close witness in the evolution of social democratic ideals, ideas and actions in Québec, in Canada and in Sweden. His intellectual contributions over 3 generations have been and still are relevant, expert and experienced. His commitments and advice have also been courageous and wise. His depiction of the evolution of Québec is to the point.
–Pierre Marc Johnson Former Premier of Québec
Henry Milner, a public intellectual and activist whose interests roam from public education, and electoral reform to language legislation and fundamental rights, provides readers with a rich tapestry of life over the past half-century. This is much more than a memoir. Milner’s encounters with political movements and their personalities in many parts of the world makes this a source of precious insights and, perhaps, a cautiously positive perspective on the post-Trump world.
–William Schabas, OC MRIA, Professor of international law Middlesex University; Professor emeritus, Leiden University and National University of Ireland Galway,
A delightful memoir of Sweden and the Scandinavian model as it was conceived and has developed, with the added value and insight brought by the perspective of a dedicated transatlantic observer and friend.
–Anders Mellbourn, former editor in chief of Sweden’s main daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter and director of the Swedish Institute for International Affairs

About A Stranger in Sorcererstown: A Fantasy Western Adventure (The Stranger Trails Saga Book 1)

Desperation can drive a man to do crazy things. Justice can drive him to do worse.
The Stranger came to Sorcererstown hoping to find a way to fix his rapidly failing health. What he found was a town in the grip of full-blown war.
Not a sorcerer has drawn breath there in years. Only sorceresses fill the Great Schools of Magic. Hired killers from all corners of the map have come in answer to the call of thrown open money vaults and arcane armories.
Blood flows freely in the streets and peace is a distant memory for what remains of the honest citizens.
The Stranger was brought to Sorcererstown by desperation. He will stay to see justice done. No matter what it takes and no matter how dangerous a game he needs to play.
But with the arcane arts being thrown around like sling stones and the looming threat of a supposedly unbeatable warrior on his way to the battleground—It doesn’t take much for a wanderer’s plans to win him nothing but an unmarked grave.
It’s all or nothing in Sorcererstown and everyone is playing for keeps.

FORCED TO MARRY HIM: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It by Davinder Kaur

In the late 1980s, Davinder Kaur was forced to marry a man she didn’t know. When she was only fourteen years old, the marriage was arranged and set to occur when she turned eighteen. After four long years of internal turmoil and despair, she had two choices: adhere to the customs and traditions of her family, or risk bringing dishonor to their home. Davinder didn’t like either option, so she made a plan—a plan to survive.

In Forced to Marry Him: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It, Kaur tells of the pain, lies, and betrayal she suffered at the hands of those who were meant to protect her the most. But her story doesn’t end there. Davinder’s willingness to speak out and fight not only saved her life but the lives of many other women and young girls over the years. She offers courage and strength to those who can’t advocate for themselves, and she works with organizations all over the world to help end arranged and forced marriages. Kaur gives a voice to the voiceless as she breaks down walls to eradicate cultural and traditional abuse.
