Having taken redundancy from his bank trading career on very generous terms before the economy came crashing down, Phillip Everett made the decision to become a private detective. His new career leads him into the brutal world of dog-fighting and then searching for the missing daughter of a Russian billionaire in the streets and brothels of Amsterdam. He is ambushed by angry pimps who think he is trying to undermine their influence and faces the fact that he is likely to be the next body found floating in one of the canals. His many and varied love encounters, including his accidental visit to a degrading sex party, were followed by a nerve-wracking test to see if he had contracted AIDS. His next case takes him to Moscow and an unpleasant death faces him after being trapped by the Russian mafia boss. Might this have been a journey too far?

Shortlisted for the Saltire Society Scottish History Book of the Year Award James VI and I was arguably the most successful ruler of the Stewart Dynasty in Scotland, and the first king of a united Great Britain. His ableness as a monarch, it has been argued, stemmed largely from his Scottish upbringing. This book is the first in-depth scholarly study of those formative years. It tries to understand exactly when in James' 'long apprenticeship' he seized political power and retraces the incremental steps he took along the way. It also poses new answers to key questions about this process. What relationship did he have with his mother Mary Queen of Scots? Why did he favour his kinsman Esmé Stuart, ultimately Duke of Lennox, to such an extent that it endangered his own throne? And was there a discernible pattern of intent to the alliances he made with the various factions at court between 1578 and 1585? This book also analyses James’ early reign as an important case study of the impact of the Reformation on the monarchy of early modern Europe, and examines the cultural activity at James' early court.
"The Incarnations of Mariela Pe a is unlike anything I have ever written. It started life (pardon the pun) as a zombie tale and very quickly became something else: a story about love and the fictions we tell ourselves. During its writing, I felt the ghost of Charles Bukowski looking over my shoulder. I made the conscious decision to not censor either the characters or myself but to write freely and with brutal, sometimes uncomfortable, honesty. I was betrayed by someone I cared deeply for, and like Poet, I had to tell the story, or at least this incarnation of it. A story about how the past refuses to die." -Steven J Dines

The government calls for a full lockdown, and Paul and Margaret are forced to find into the nearest, and only, place of refuge available to them: a dilapidated farm in Spear Creek.

The book of Genesis is about beginnings. A beginning is a point in which something starts. Genesis means beginning. This book begins the Holy Scriptures and shows us the beginning of very important things. It serves as a foundation for all the Scriptures which follow. Do you know what a foundation is? A foundation is the basis or support for something. It could be an idea or fact which serves as a foundation for a belief or teaching. For example, being friendly is a foundation for having friends. An unfriendly person will likely not have friends (Prov. 18:24).
Genesis not only introduces us to the beginning of creation, but also the beginning of God's plan to solve the problem of sin. In the lives of Abraham and Lot, we see what faith looks like as it journeys with God. We will see many lessons from the lives of these two men and others as God plan unfolds.
