This latest re-issue from the "Original" series was the title which saw the series branching out into motorcycles, starting with the most desirable of classic British motorbikes: the Vincent. Covering all post-1945 versions - the twin cylinder 1000cc Series B, C and D Rapides, the incredibly fast and sought-after Black Shadow, the Black Knight and Black Prince, and the 500cc Meteor and Comet singles - the book offers the same detail and excellent full colour photography that is found in the rest of the series.
Howard Vincent's Police Code, 1889 is a republishing of the famous guide for Metropolitan Police of the Victorian era, with an extensive introduction by Neil Bell and Adam Wood. The Police Code was compiled by Howard Vincent, Director of the CID, and first published in 1881. It was an invaluable resource to Metropolitan Police officers and was updated regularly over the next 50 years. The version being reprinted is for 1889, written in 1888 and in use by officers at the time of the Whitechapel murders. Over 200 pages, Howard Vincent carefully described in simple terms the legality of more than 900 incidents which might occur in the daily life of a police officer, from baby farming and wandering lunatics to illegal burials and the identification of prisoners. Originally, a share of proceeds from sales were donated to the Metropolitan and City Police Orphanage, and we are proud to announce that we will continue this tradition by donating an equal share of profits to the Metropolitan and City Police Orphans Fund - every copy sold therefore contributes to the Orphans Fund.

The Luna family faced one of the worst what-if scenarios in life when they were told that their unborn son had a fatal chromosomal disorder, Trisomy 18. The Luna's were suddenly faced with one of the hardcase examples usually given to justify the need for abortion. When the rhetoric became real and a choice for life was made, grace and love poured into their lives abundantly. The desperate feeling of being unable to find the words to discuss what was happening with their young children inspired the family to share their experience in a book to help other families facing a similar struggle.
The Life of St Vincent de Paul. c. 1581-1660 His Legacy continues today. Written for teens and young adults. Excerpt: Chapter 5 MISSION WORK THE incident which had given rise to Vincent's first mission at Folleville had never been forgotten by Madame de Gondi. It seemed to her that there was need to multiply such missions among the country poor, and no sooner had Vincent returned to her house than she offered him a large sum of money to endow a band of priests who would devote their lives to evangelizing the peasantry on her estates. Vincent was delighted, but considering himself unfit to undertake the management of such an enterprise, he proposed that it should be put into the hands of the Jesuits or the Oratorians. Madame de Gondi, although convinced in her own mind that Vincent, and Vincent alone, was the man to carry out the enterprise, obediently suggested it to one religious Order after another. In every case some obstacle intervened, until the Countess was more than ever persuaded that her first instinct had been right. Knowing Vincent's loyalty to Holy Church and his obedience to authority, she determined to have recourse to her brother-in-law, the Archbishop of Paris. An old house called the Coll ge des Bons Enfants was at that moment vacant. She asked it of the Archbishop, whom she had interested in her scheme, and who proposed to Vincent to undertake the foundation. There was no longer room for hesitation; the will of God seemed plain; indeed, Vincent's love of the poor had been for some time struggling with his humility. The new Congregation was to consist of a few good priests who, renouncing all thought of honor and worldly advancement, were to devote their lives to preaching in the villages and small towns of France. Their traveling expenses were to be paid from a common fund. They were to spend themselves in the service of their neighbor, instructing, catechizing and exhorting; and they were to take nothing in return for their labors. Nine months of the year were to be given to this kind of work; the other three to prayer and preparation. In March, 1625, the foundation was made, and Vincent de Paul was named the first superior. It was stipulated, however, that he should remain, as he had already promised, in the house of the founders, a condition which seemed likely to doom the enterprise to failure. Vincent could hardly fail to realize how necessary it was that the superior of a new Congregation should be in residence in his own house, but he confided the little company to God and awaited the development of events.

I have been trying to tell the Karl Vincent origin story since 2012. I have two incomplete projects which I am presenting in this volume. It is my hope that my current artist, Rodolfo Ezequiel, will take up this project when we are done with Dracula Rising. But for now, I present the origin story part one: The second book in the "Karl Vincent: Vampire Hunter" series. This is the story of how Karl became a vampire hunter in the first place. Dead bodies are showing up behind the night club "First Impressions" decapitated and drained of blood. Is there a vampire loose in Boston? David Reynolds, a serial killer that Karl arrested years ago has escaped. Is he behind the murders? The second victim was Paul "Sweetheart" Sachitella, a mobster with ties to club owner Leo "The Freezer" Kowalski is Leo involved?
In this tale from prominent nineteenth-century literary realist Henry James, an effort to resuscitate a foundering theatrical work serves as the backdrop for a burgeoning love triangle between the playwright, the lead actress, and the playwright's married confidante and mentor.
Henry James, OM (15 April 1843 - 28 February 1916) was an American author regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of Henry James Sr. and the brother of renowned philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
This story is about Allan Wayworth, a struggling playwright, who has written a play titled "Nona Vincent". This is his first play and he is not quite sure of it's worth, nor how to go about getting it accepted and produced. But he has the strong support of Mrs. Alsager, a wealthy lady who believes in him and believes in his play. After a lengthy series of rejections, the play, with the help of Mrs. Alsager, is finally brought to the stage. Violet Grey is the young actress who is selected to play Nona Vincent. What happens then is the basis for the 2nd half of the story and I won't give that away. It's easy to see that Wayworth is the alter ego of Henry James, an aspiring playwright himself. James first play was a failure, being booed off the stage on the first night. Wayworth, and his play Nona Vincent, faired much better.
