Psychotherapist Heather Delaney is shocked by the death of a client, Phoebe, with whom she had a special rapport. She knows it was not an accident or suicide as the police claim and is determined to find out what happened. She contacts a former colleague who is a private investigator. She also becomes involved in a relationship with the detective assigned to the case, DI John Kelly, who warns her against pursuing her own investigation. Despite her own doubts and the warnings of others, she cannot let it go. She faces the reticence and hostility of Phoebe’s family and friends, and issues from her own past. She compromises the principles and professional boundaries of her work as a therapist, as she learns to lie, scheme and manipulate. Heather must risk her career, her happiness and her own mental health to discover the truth, and she must then weigh up who might be harmed and what she is prepared to lose.
Two kingdoms, two dragons - which side will win, or will peace prevail? The kingdoms of Arbor with its lush forests, and Pomosa rich with farmland, have no love between them, and the children have taken to sneaking across the borders to thieve. If only they would share their produce. But the Kings decide to fight, instead... with dragons. But what kind of future will that bring? Written by multi-award-winning author Geraldine McCaughrean and with illustrations by renowned artist Peter Malone, this picture book with a classic feel is a perfect reflection of contemporary strife and conflict around the world. "This stunning picture book is one for every child… eloquent and lyrical" Sunday Times "A powerful message about sharing and cooperation underpins this colourful, old-fashioned fable" Daily Mail "A gently satirical and gorgeously illustrated fable" New Statesman "McCaughrean is one of the greatest living children's authors." The Bookseller

Ghost & Other Sonnets will disturb and delight. Divided into three sections the sequence begins with the Ghost Sonnets. Using traditional ghost narratives Monk condenses them into the tightly controlled sonnet form and twists them into something totally new. Aficionados of ghost stories will revel in this reinvention of a popular genre. In the second section, & Sonnets there is a drastic mood change as personal experience and harrowing news items root the poems into the mundane world of everyday existence. Some of these poems delves into the dark reality of ‘unnatural’ happenings: the tragedies of the Beslan massacre or the Chinese cockle pickers whilst others rescue the banal and sweep it off into the realms of the fantastical. The final section, Other Sonnets inhabits the cusp between Ghost and &. Here chance and inexplicable coincidence meet in the ghostly multiplications of language. Working within the conventional form of the sonnet this sequence is on the surface one of Monk’s most accessible works but the simplicity is deceptive as each poem shifts and veers into unexpected complexity. Words shimmy down the page to their unpredictable conclusion leaving the reader delighted, disconcerted and baffled. Monk brings together disparate strands of uncertainty in a fragile world and she does it with her usual tenderness, ferocity and humour.
On Geraldine Clarkson's previous chapbook: "Joseph Brodsky wrote joyously about W.H. Auden's range of diction, claiming that Auden ladles from every puddle. Reading Geraldine Clarkson's astonishing debut pamphlet, Declare, invites the same response. Clarkson takes words from every conceivable field and makes them happy bedfellows. The risk of this highly-wrought, hyper-inventive approach is that it could become obscure or overly self-conscious. With Clarkson, neither of these is the case. The poems are sharply honed wonders of meditation that serve the subject and make powerful, complex sense. ... With a pamphlet this rich in brio, skill, and originality, Clarkson has the potential to be a significant and original voice in British poetry." - Daljit Nagra, PBS Bulletin
A rottenness at the heart of things, mapped onto England - London and other cities, the Midlands - and various narratives, manifests via apocalyptic omens and curses, and things being upside-down; an underworld and stasis. The aromatic and romantic Medlar (Mespilus germanica, a member of the apple and quince family), is considered inedible until 'bletted', allowed to rot. The collection touches on themes of xenophobia, Brexit and hypocrisy, as well as dallying in the English hedgerows, lanes and forests, sometimes with the English poets, in pursuit of the regenerative chaos and mischief present in nature. There is a fugitive hope of flow and change, breaking out of old patterns; a quest for sweetness.

In summer 2009, two award-winning poets, Lisa C. Taylor from Connecticut, and Geraldine Mills from Galway, came to a little cottage in Carna on the west coast of Ireland to forge a link between their lives. The Other Side of Longing celebrates this collaboration. With the Atlantic Ocean as the central metaphor, they explore themes of culture, folklore, flora and fauna through a series of poems of call and response, weaving in and out of their own internal and external landscapes. This collaboration of poems is infused with each other's experience in all its humanity, while retaining the individual voice and lyrical honesty.
In Geraldine Mitchell's new collection, poems call and respond across the pages, giving the reader a sense of exploration and discovery, of entering a world where reality is faced but consolation is offered. For all its darker moments, Of Birds and Bones has a lightless of touch. Tenderness and humour counterbalance an unblinking contemplation of human frailty in an uncertain world.
In this, her third short story collection, Geraldine Mills extends her thematic range to excavate new and shifting landscapes. Not afraid to tackle taboos, Hellkite occupies a space all of its own, where gender expectations are realigned to explore woman's inhumanity to man.
In this, her third collection, Geraldine Mitchell's words spring from a landscape sculpted by harsh Atlantic weather which infiltrates, informs and ultimately illuminates every aspect of her poetry. We embark on a voyage through memory loss, its isolating silence and, ultimately, death. All the while, like a chorus in the unfolding drama, the poet's landscape is present with its constants of wind, rain, sea, mountains and, from time to time, a redemptive glimpse of sun.
In a verse memoir, Mills follows the journey of her great-grandfather and his family from County Mayo, Ireland, to Warren, Rhode Island, in the late nineteenth century.
Geraldine Mills’ new collection, Bone Road in Word and Image, is a book length collection of lyric poems, combined with archival images from the US and Ireland, engaged with points where national and family history meet. Her imagination, like Emily Dickinson’s and Paul Celan’s, finds its most fertile ground in the smaller and tighter spaces that put the poet’s gifts under the most stress, and where diction, syntax, and technique must be at its most razor sharp. Mills’ short poems are brief narratives finely distilled, which engage with acts of erasure and suggestion that are central to the letter and the lyric. Each poem and image is a breath – of a human being, of a landscape, of hope, of return, of a diaspora–and is a moving, and beautifully crafted act of witness.
