     Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit:

A Jeeves and Wooster novel The beefy 'Stilton' Cheesewright has drawn Bertie Wooster as red-hot favourite in the Drones club annual darts tournament - which is lucky for Bertie because otherwise Stilton would have beaten him to a pulp and buttered the lawn with him. Stilton does not, after all like men who he thinks are trifling with his fianc�e's affections. Meanwhile Bertie has committed a more heinous offence by growing a moustache, and Jeeves strongly disapproves - which is unfortunate, because Jeeves's feudal spirit is desperately needed. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia is trying to sell her magazine Milady's Boudoir to the Trotter Empire and still keep her amazing chef Anatole out of Lady Trotter's clutches. And Bertie? Bertie simply has to try to hold onto his moustache and hope he gets to the end in one piece.

    To Have

     To Have

Librarian's Note: This is an alternate/new cover for ASIN B00EFDNTNI *Author's Note: This novella is no longer available. I combined all of the Dumont Diaries novellas into a standalone novel, which was rewritten, expanded, and retitled as Trophy Wife. * I step on the dark stage, the cheap plastic of my platforms cutting into the top of my toes, every step bringing a pinch of pain. I keep my eyes down, following the flecks of silver on the unforgiving stage, waiting, exhaling a breath in controlled anticipation, my abs tightening. Then, the lights come on and I have almost three minutes to forget. Welcome to my life, a drained bank account and six nights a week spinning around a greasy strip club pole. When salvation comes in the form of six feet of drop-dead-gorgeous, complete with a limo and a thick wad of cash, my stilettos run happily out the door to freedom. They say that money doesn’t buy happiness. But it does buy escape. Happiness is an overrated fairytale. *To Have is a novella, 15,000 words in length, and was part 1 of a 4-part series. Their titles are: To Have To Hold Till Death Do Us Part

     Sympathy for the Devil

When Detective Catrin Price returns to Cardiff after 12 years of self-imposed exile she is determined to lay to rest the ghosts of her unhappy past. Then her ex-boyfriend Rhys, once a promising young policeman but now a washed-up junkie, is found dead on one of her first nights on patrol. The official verdict is an accidental overdose, but Cat is convinced that there is something more to his death, something that will explain why the man who saved her life was so unwilling to save his own. Rhys had always been haunted by the mysterious disappearance of Owen Face, the troubled lead singer of rock band Seerland, who was last seen at a notorious suicide spot. No body was ever found and when Cat joins forces with one of Rhys' former colleagues, now a wealthy business man obsessed with all things Seerland-related, they begin to wonder whether the rumours that Face is still alive may be true. But when Cat is stalked by a meancing figure with a striking resemblance to a serial rapist Rhys famously put away, she begins to realise her life may also be in danger.

    Making an Elephant

      Graham Swift
     Making an Elephant

In his first-ever work of nonfiction, Graham Swift—Booker Prize-winning author of Waterland and Last Orders—gives us a highly personal book: a singular and open-spirited account of a writer’s life. Here Kazuo Ishiguro advises on how to choose a guitar; Salman Rushdie arrives for Christmas under guard; Caryl Phillips shares a beer with the author at a nightclub in Toronto. There are private moments with Swift’s father and with his own younger self, as well as musings—on history, memory, and imagination—that illuminate his work. As generous in its scope as it is acute in its observations, Making an Elephant brings together a richly varied selection of essays, portraits, poetry and interviews, full of insights into Swift’s passions and motivations, and wise about the friends, family and other writers who have mattered to him over the years. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Some common sense DOs and DONT's by a successful online language teacher.My name is Enrique Kates! I’m a highly experienced conversational English and Spanish teacher with many years offline experience. And several thousand online lessons since 2008.My name is Enrique Kates! I’m a highly experienced conversational English and Spanish teacher.I was born with a blessing. But, I didn't know about it until years later. I have been speaking two languages (English and Spanish), all my life. About two weeks after graduating from High School, I landed in Berlitz Language Schools. I didn't really want to go there. I went because of a misunderstanding. Anyway, I began teaching English and Spanish. After a while, I realized I loved it. It was there that I came across my blessing. There was something about myself that I could share with others, and help them reach their own goals and dreams. I could teach another person to speak a new language. I also soon realized that this was not going to make me rich....at least, not economically. But, the other rewards were much more. Besides, they would go with me the day I left this earthly life. Through the years, I've seen some of my students on News Headlines, Talk Shows, Conferences, and other different places. It fills me with tremendous joy, to know that I had something to do with their success. It was my success also. And nobody can take that away from me. Eventually I formed my own Language Instruction company. A new stage began in my life. Suddenly, I was training and working with teachers to reach their own goals and potential. At the same time I was helping students. I was helping people, help others. I was helping people on two sides, reach their own goals. At the same time, I was making a living. I'm still in touch with students and teachers that worked with me years ago. Some of these teachers have built a successful career. Its always touching when they contact me.I’m very proud to know that I’ve helped so many people achieve their goals because of my help in learning to speak English or Spanish.This is the most rewarding aspect of my career.In 2008, I began building my online business. My students and teachers come from all parts of the world. I invite everybody to come and join me. If you're a student in need of learning a language...call me. If you love languages and want to share your knowledge by teaching...call me. Teaching is a beautiful experience, full of rewarding moments. Join me!

Soon afterwards Richard, his girlfriend, Nancy and the Professor, his mentor and best friend find themselves thrust into a scenario where they could quite possibly have triggered the end of our world.This is a Serial Novel, a series of six episodes that unfolds to a conclusion through cliff hanger endings, much in the vein of the old Republic Serials like Flash Gordon, Batman, Superman and many other golden tales of early Hollywood.
