Sometimes it is exhilarating to let the imagination off the leash and allow it to wander where it will. Most of these little tales explore in one way or another what is real and what is not. They include a view of the world from an angelic viewpoint, a disappearance which may or may not have supernatural origins and a physicist faced with the question of whether anything at all is truly real. Along the way we meet a spy who is forced to become a detective and we venture into mysterious other realities where the usual conventions of what is possible become stretched or even irrelevant. So make a cup of coffee, relax and let your mind roam with me to discover where we may end up.

"We want to wrap this book up with a bow and leave it under everyone's tree this year. Lindsay Maple delivers a confection of holiday charm, small town quirk, tenderly sketched characters, and scorching heat." --Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, USA TODAY bestselling authors of A Merry Little Meet CuteIt's the hottest Christmas on record...Like naughty and nice, Mariah and Ellie are complete opposites. Small-time actress Ellie is thrilled to be back on set of a cozy holiday film, while makeup artist Mariah only views the low-budget project as a stepping stone on her way to more serious movies. The pair definitely don't hit it off when they're introduced, but if they want to survive the summer heat--and Mariah's stifling Canadian hometown--they've got to keep it professional. Luckily, holiday cheer is Ellie's specialty, and she's determined to win stubborn Mariah over.Mariah finds one bright spot in her forced second Christmas: hot hookups with an edgy local bartender. The romance even has her opening up to Ellie--who admits to crushing on her wholesome cottage-rental host. But when Ellie and Mariah realize the guys are cheating on them, they band together to get revenge. It's fun planning their own Home Alone-inspired pranks...until Ellie and Mariah realize they're actually falling for each other.But the film shoot is too short to get serious, so they'll have to decide: Was their romance simply a holiday fling or a real Christmas-in-July miracle?"Full of hilarious hijinks and tenderness in equal measure, this holiday romance had me flipping the pages late into the cozy night. Come for the revenge, stay for the true love." --Ashley Herring Blake, USA TODAY Bestselling Author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care

Doug Palmer was a sceptic when he came to The Finches to work on his Phd thesis but he is soon drawn into the world of a deceased schoolmaster and his pupils. The Finches has existed behind its high walls since the original convent on the site and so much of its dark history of ghosts and murder intrudes upon the present. Just what did happen on the site during the war and why does even time itself seem not to behave as it should? Doug can find no rest until he has sifted myth and illusion from reality and until he has peeled away the last layer of the onion and revealed The Finches Secret.
The Thrifty Witch's Book of Simple Spells
From Wren Maple, the Thrifty Witch, comes an introduction to witchcraft with a variety of spells, tips, and tricks to get the most out of your practice. There’s nothing wrong with simple and straightforward. Easy spells are not less worthy spells. These ideas are central to the practice of the Thrifty Witch. Sick of not being able to easily source (or afford) what she needed for spells, Wren Maple dedicated herself to collecting and optimizing spells that could work for all witches—no matter where they were on their journey and no matter their personal resources. Now The Thrifty Witch is sharing her research and bringing her collection to the page for the first time. The Thrifty Witch’s Book of Simple Spells is part primer, part spellbook. It includes: Getting started/witch basics: Witchcraft as self-care, how to establish a practice, and a handful of super-easy spells to get casting today. Key ingredients for spells: Starter stones and herbs, how to source, what to buy first, and more questions answered! Simple spells for every witch: Just like the spells Wren is known for online, nearly every spell in the book requires five items or fewer, and all ingredients are easy to source. Specific spells: Organized by purpose (e.g. love spells, protection spells), these spells are sure to cover what you're looking to cast. Tips and Tricks for Casting: When to cast for best results, where to cast and why it matters...make your spells count! The beauty of these spells is that they are easy enough and affordable enough to practice daily. Since practice and process are so important, this book provides an invaluable resource—unlocking the ability to try new spells and refine casting methods multiple times per week—even daily.

"Colonel" Dick Maple was the fanciful pen name for Seth McCallen, who penned a great many highly polemical works. He wrote this particular work against alcohol and nightlife. In particular, he guards readers against women in corsets, who drink or otherwise dabble in lifestyles or actions he finds unseemly. The women in his stories often come to sad endings as a result of their desire to enjoy equal opportunities with men in vice and pleasure. McCallen was far from a person anyone should take seriously. He is known for writing and publishing some of the most extraordinarily vile and racist diatribes in The National Rip-Saw. In 1910, McCallen had a stroke, but the publisher hired W. S. Morgan in order to imitate his hateful style. Thankfully, the style and messages were so unappealing and subscriptions dropped so low that the magazine had to send issues to random addresses to fulfill advertising terms.

Elfhaven is exactly what it implies--a haven for elves, governed by a high council of five. It is forgotten by time and hidden from the intrusive present-day human population. There was a time when elves thought of themselves as fearless protectors of the earth and defenders of the innocent, but that time is long past. Elfhaven's council has no choice but to confess their fear, not only for their existence but for the world outside their realm, or so they claim. From the instant of their existence, elves have protected the world from evil, but now there is a new malevolent threat that is beyond their capability. The ruler of the netherworld called Helgrey has never hidden her intent to dominate the earth, thus transforming it into the twisted version of her own world. But the prize she covets most is the destruction of Elfhaven. In the past, she has hidden behind tact and subtle innuendos, but now her threat has become a fear-provoking reality as Widdow enacts her wrathful vengeance by unleashing a horrendously wicked scheme that takes the form of an unholy ally that the council is unable to combat. The council is in dire need of a champion for their cause and finds one in the form of a woman. She is young, inexperienced, and of all things, a human. That is, until a freak accident results in her bizarre transformation.

Refugee Reception in Southern Africa

Refugee Reception in Southern Africa

A comparative analysis of the politics surrounding the welcome afforded to refugees in Zambia and South Africa. While state-based reception is frequently framed as one-off moments such as registration, Refugee Reception in Southern Africa proposes a new understanding whereby reception is a process that reflects the complex dynamics of contemporary refugee arrival. By adopting this understanding, the book demonstrates how reception is a complex and ongoing process of negotiations between refugees and the state. Indeed, the relationship between the refugee and host state often remains fragile and prone to ruptures, especially when less formal reception policies allow refugees to move back and forth between refugee camps and local areas. Nevertheless, through these negotiations, Refugee Reception in Southern Africa shows how reception policies are vital in shaping a refugee's ability to settle and engage with local communities and labor markets. Using the cases of Zambia and South Africa, the book explores why some countries maintain encampment reception policies for refugees and others use a more liberal "free settlement" approach, whereby refugees are granted freedom of movement and permitted to settle in cities and towns. This book offers an original and unique perspective on refugee hosting in southern Africa, one that does not look upon persons who flee across a border as a homogenous group whose movement abruptly ends once they arrive in a host state or refugee camp.
