Not a Word
In the latest chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Linwood Barclay, a man's world is upended after he stumbles upon a grisly crime scene in the family home.
Every family has secrets, but when Reece visits his parents' house, he's shocked to find them in bed, dead. At first glance it looks like a murder-suicide perpetrated by his father, but on closer inspection there's clearly more to the story. For starters, inconsistencies in the crime scene suggest his dad may not have shot himself. As Reece, shaken by his horrifying discovery, awaits questioning from the police, his phone lights up with a call. It's the last person he ever would have expected to hear from. Reeling from the day's events, Reece finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about his parents--and whether he and his own family are in danger now. While the authorities work to untangle the baffling crime scene, Reece is pulled into a web of secrets linked to the unscrupulous pharma company his father worked for years ago. In order to protect the people he loves most, he'll have to dig deep into his own past to understand who his parents were, what they did, and who they hurt--before he ends up paying for their sins. -

Healing Your Dysregulated Nervous System After Trauma
This book isn't for everyone. I didn't write it for everyone. I wrote it for a specific person in mind.
It may be for you if you're always on edge, waiting for the next "bad thing" to happen. If calm never lasts, your moods swing, and exhaustion clings no matter how much you sleep. If you've been told you're "too sensitive" or "overreact" when you react to hurtful things. If you live a life plagued by anxiety, self-doubt, and the constant feeling that you're failing at being "normal." If you feel like you've tried to push through, toughen up, or numb yourself, your nervous system may actually be stuck in survival mode. I know how that feels. I lived it for decades. Trauma left me anxious, hypervigilant, and depleted. I thought it was "just who I was," until I discovered the truth: a dysregulated nervous system is not a permanent identity. It's a state - and states can change. With compassion, knowledge, and small daily practices, you can begin to heal. This book blends science with lived experience - but above all, it is written from a trauma-informed place. Inside, you'll discover: Why trauma changes your brain and body - and how to understand your symptoms without shame The hidden reasons you feel stuck, scattered, snappy, or shut down How to gently signal safety to your body and return to calm Simple daily practices that actually fit real life Why you're not "overreactive" - you're dysregulated Throughout this book, you'll learn to move from survival to safety with awareness, compassion, boundaries, and practices that help your body relearn peace. The six important steps include: Awareness: Understanding the trauma loop and why you feel stuck Recognition: Reframing your triggers and patterns of dysregulationCompassion: Reparenting yourself with kindness and letting go of shame
Boundaries: Protecting your peace without guilt
Regulation: Building daily nervous system "hygiene" practices
Integration: Staying regulated when life happens
Healing your nervous system doesn't mean never feeling stress again - it means learning to respond with stability, clarity, and self-compassion.
There is so much strength in that - and so much freedom waiting for you. If you've suffered trauma - whether from childhood wounds, an abusive partner, or a life-altering event - and now feel dysregulated, this book is here to remind you: healing is not only possible, it's yours to claim. -

Yet renowned trade captains Nell and Peter Starbuck have forbidden their daughter from coming aboard on the adventure of a lifetime. So Winnie does what any strong-willed eighteen-year-old would do: she stows away.
Once the ship sets sail, Winnie is plunged into turbulent waters, treachery, and the thrill of life on the high seas. As she drifts farther from shore, and closer to fabled Canton port, she uncovers a long-buried secret--one that reveals the truth behind her parents' desperate fear. And as she continues to chart her own course, she'll have to plumb the depths of her courage to take on a world far bigger--and more dangerous--than she ever imagined.Sold out -

Mothering Our Boys: A guide for mums of sons
If we can see the world through boys' eyes a little better, we will make different choices in the way we mother them... and we will find them less confusing, and love them more deeply.
Mothers of sons are worried about raising their boys in a world where negative images of masculinity are front and centre of our media, almost every day. Not only that, but statistically our boys are still struggling in many ways.
Even though we live in a time where we recognise that nothing in gender is fixed, it remains a fact that the influence of a mother on her son is massive.
A mother of four sons herself, Maggie Dent draws on her personal experience - and over four decades work as a teacher, counsellor and now author and speaker - to help build understanding, empathy and compassion for our boys.
Maggie shares her five key secrets that every mum needs to know, and uses the voices of men she has worked with and surveyed to reveal what really matters in a boy's relationship with his mother and other mother figures.
Maggie is one of Australia's most popular parenting educators, authors and podcasters. Her seminars about boys have sold out all across Australia, New Zealand and in the UK. She is finally sharing her insights, her reflections, and (as always) her humour around mothering boys in this book that will help you be the mum your son needs you to be.

A: I'd take the fire.

Determined to be true to her sexuality and to differentiate herself from her adoring younger sister, she sets out in search of her place in the world, from Casablanca to Paris to London, and against the backdrop of era-defining events like the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11, guided by a preternatural sense of justice and an unerring instinct for what makes her feel most alive.
