"Dark and devious... Beautifully written and plotted with a watchmaker's precision." -- Stephen King "A dark, twisty, and richly atmospheric exploration of the power of imagination" --Ruth Ware, author of One by One and The Woman in Cabin 10 With the startling twists of Gone Girl and the haunting emotional power of Room, Mirrorland is a thrilling work of psychological suspense about twin sisters, the man they both love, and the dark childhood they can't leave behind.Cat lives in Los Angeles, far away from 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up. As girls, they invented Mirrorland, a dark, imaginary place under the pantry stairs full of pirates, witches, and clowns. These days Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives there with her husband Ross. But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Road, which has scarcely changed in twenty years. The grand old house is still full of shadowy corners, and at every turn Cat finds herself stumbling on long-held secrets and terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone--El?--has left Cat clues in almost every room: a treasure hunt that leads right back to Mirrorland, where she knows the truth lies crouched and waiting... A twisty, dark, and brilliantly crafted thriller about love and betrayal, redemption and revenge, Mirrorland is a propulsive, page-turning debut about the power of imagination and the price of freedom.
"Unnerving." --People "Unsettling...unlocks its mysteries slowly." --The New York Times Book Review "A dark, twisty, and richly atmospheric exploration of the power of imagination" --Ruth Ware, author of The Woman in Cabin 10 "Beautifully written and told with a watchmaker's precision" (Stephen King), Mirrorland is a thrilling psychological suspense novel about twin sisters, the man they both love, the house that has always haunted them, and the childhood stories they can't leave behind. Cat lives in Los Angeles, far from 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up. As kids, they invented Mirrorland, a dark, imaginary place under the pantry stairs, full of pirates, witches, and clowns. These days, Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives there with her husband, Ross. But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Road, which hasn't changed in twenty years. The grand old house is still full of shadowy corners, and at every turn Cat finds herself stumbling on long-held secrets and terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone--El?--has left Cat clues: a treasure hunt that leads them back to Mirrorland, where the truth lies waiting... A brilliantly crafted story that "feels like the love child of Gillian Flynn and Stephen King" (Greer Hendricks, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Mirrorland is a propulsive, page-turning debut about love, betrayal, revenge--and the price of freedom.
From the author of the "dark and devious...beautifully written" (Stephen King) Mirrorland comes an "atmospheric, thrilling, and utterly captivating" (Booklist) gothic tale set on a remote Scottish island where the locals are hiding a deadly secret. Maggie Mackay has been haunted her entire life. No matter what she does, she can't shake the sense that something is wrong with her. And maybe something is... When she was five years old, Maggie announced that a man on the remote island of Kilmeray in Scotland's Outer Hebrides--a place she'd never visited--was murdered. Her unfounded claim drew media attention and turned the locals against each other, creating rifts that never mended. Now, nearly twenty years later, Maggie is determined to discover what really happened, and what the villagers are hiding. But everyone has secrets, and some are deadly. As she gets closer to the horrifying truth, the island's legendary and violent storms begin to rage again and Maggie's own life is in danger... Unnerving, enthralling, and filled with gothic suspense, The Blackhouse is a spectacularly sinister tale readers won't soon forget.
Taidokas mysteeritrilleri rakkaudesta ja petoksesta, sovituksesta ja kostosta.Hyytävää psykologista jännitystä tihkuva tarina kaksossisarista, molempien rakastamasta miehestä ja lapsuuden salaisuuksista, joita he eivät kykene unohtamaan.Cat asuu Los Angelesissa, kaukana lapsuutensa Edinburghista ja komeasta viktoriaanisesta talosta, jossa hän ja hänen identtinen kaksoissisarensa El varttuivat. Lapsina he keksivät Peilimaan, portaikon alla sijaitsevan mielikuvitusmaailman täynnä merirosvoja, noitia ja pellejä. Mutta enää sisarestaan vieraantunut Cat ei juurikaan ajattele lapsuuskotiaan.Mutta kun El katoaa salaperäisesti purjehdusreissullaan, Catin on pakko palata Edinburghiin. Vanha talo ei ole juurikaan muuttunut kahdessakymmenessä vuodessa. Se on edelleen täynnä pimeitä nurkkia ja Cat tuntuu joka käänteessä törmäävän vanhoihin salaisuuksiin ja menneisyyden aaveisiin. Kuin kaameassa aarrejahdissa joku on jättänyt hänelle vihjeitä kaikkiin huoneisiin. Johtolangat kuljettavat häntä takaisin Peilimaahan, jossa totuus väijyy odottamassa...”Rakastin Peilimaata. Se on upeasti kirjoitettu ja sen juoni on punottu kellosepän tarkkuudella.” - Stephen King

Manic Dawn: Poems About Shape Shifters: Goddesses, Bag Ladies, Fairies, and Crows

Originally inspired by Diane DiPrima's groundbreaking collection, "Loba," Carole Johnston has created a powerful woman-as-goddess quest poem in "Manic Dawn." Johnston uses verse forms inspired by the Japanese haiku and tanka to create a work that is deeply grounded in the rich Celtic legends of the Morrigan, the goddess-queen-crow whose varying forms connote both life and death, mortality and immortality. Johnston brings this ancient legend into contemporary life by means of a subtle interplay, a dance, between the shape-shifting Morrigan character and the poem's persona. Their lives and stories are connected through an intricate web of exquisite imagery: music, crows, dance, the bags of the bag lady, moon, wings. Precise shifts in the images signal developments in the characters and ensure that the rich and varied mythic context of the poem maintains its coherence and integrity. The radiant beauty of Anne Milligan's paintings provides striking visual complement to each section of the poem, amplifying the mythic themes that the poem develops. "Manic Dawn" is an exquisite and powerful volume of poetry and painting.Dr. Jonel Curtis Sallee

A complete guide to shamanic drumming for enhancing Reiki practice. Advance your Reiki practice to the next level with vibrational sound healing and shamanism combined in the beat of the drum. In this guide, Reiki master and shamanic teacher Fay Johnstone explores in detail the practices and benefits of shamanic drum journeying in the context of Reiki healing. She shares Reiki drum techniques and step-by-step shamanic practices to bring empowerment, healing, connection, and clarity to you and your clients. She explains how the vibration of a drum enhances the efficacy of a treatment by inviting the client’s energy field back to its optimal vibration as well as inducing relaxation and the release of tension. She shows how drumming allows a Reiki practitioner to dive into shamanic journeying for deeper guidance and insight on a client, and she reveals how vibration and sound can strengthen the energetic potencies of Reiki symbols. Exploring the magic of the drum, the author explains the essence of shamanic journeying, including how to set intentions, access and navigate the three shamanic worlds, meet spirit guides, and connect deeply with your intuition. Outlining the protocols of drumming for yourself and others, she presents a shamanic Reiki treatment flow protocol for the basic structure of a session, whether in person or distant healing. Highlighting personal healing practices with the drum, the author details exercises that combine with Reiki self-care and shamanic journeying to release negative energy, reclaim power, shift mindset, and manifest goals. She offers simple practical exercises to restore connection to our true self through drumming with nature, exploring the cosmos, and honoring the ancestors. She also presents guidelines for conducting ceremony and holding drum circles or Reiki shares for group healing and shamanic journeying. Welcoming Reiki practitioners into the rhythm of the drum and the path of shamanism, this book will inspire you to journey deeper into the unseen web that connects us all.

Violet Crown Award, Writers League of Texas, 2007 Citation, San Antonio Conservation Society, 2009Scarred by the deaths of his mother and sisters and the failure of his father's business, a young man dreamed of making enough money to retire early and retreat into the secure world that his childhood tragedies had torn from him. But Harry Luby refused to be a robber baron. Turning totally against the tide of avaricious capitalism, he determined to make a fortune by doing good. Starting with that unlikely, even naive, ambition in 1911, Harry Luby founded a cafeteria empire that by the 1980s had revenues second only to McDonald's. So successfully did Luby and his heirs satisfy the tastes of America that Luby's became the country's largest cafeteria chain, creating more millionaires per capita among its employees than any other corporation of its size. Even more surprising, the company stayed true to Harry Luby's vision for eight decades, making money by treating its customers and employees exceptionally well.Written with the sweep and drama of a novel, House of Plenty tells the engrossing story of Luby's founding and phenomenal growth, its long run as America's favorite family restaurant during the post-World War II decades, its financial failure during the greed-driven 1990s when non-family leadership jettisoned the company's proven business model, and its recent struggle back to solvency. Carol Dawson and Carol Johnston draw on insider stories and company records to recapture the forces that propelled the company to its greatest heights, including its unprecedented practices of allowing store managers to keep 40 percent of net profits and issuing stock to all employees, which allowed thousands of Luby's workers to achieve the American dream of honestly earned prosperity. The authors also plumb the depths of the Luby's drama, including a hushed-up theft that split the family for decades; the 1991 mass shooting at the Killeen Luby's, which splattered the company's good name across headlines nationwide; and the rapacious over-expansion that more than doubled the company's size in nine years (1987-1996), pushed it into bankruptcy, and drove president and CEO John Edward Curtis Jr. to violent suicide.Disproving F. Scott Fitzgerald's adage that "there are no second acts in American lives," House of Plenty tells the epic story of an iconic American institution that has risen, fallen, and found redemption-with no curtain call in sight.

Understanding Research and Evidence-Based Practice in Communication Disorders is an engaging, student-friendly text that explores the connection between common communication science research methods and clinical practice. Covering both the conceptual and the quantitative aspects of research methods, evidence-based practice, experimental design, and statistics, this book both elucidates various models of research and practice and explains how these models are important to the greater field of communication science. While some students and practitioners find many books on research, evidence-based practice, and statistical concepts to be intimidating, abstract, and dry, Understanding Research and Evidence-Based Practice in Communication Disorders strives to emphasize not only the ideas surrounding evidence-based practice but also how its principles can be applied in clinical practice. The text also includes a number of helpful study aides such as learning objectives, learning activities, and a glossary, all of which help shed considerable light on these challenging and sometimes daunting subjects.
