Ana Donnelly has agreed to help her Irish grandfather, Peter, to right a wrong he committed in his youth when fighting with the International Brigades in Spain at the start of the Spanish Civil War. What starts as a simple undertaking becomes complicated when she discovers that others are intent on preventing her from fulfilling her promise. Who should Ana trust? Is Jaime, her newly found cousin, really what he seems to be? Or is his involvement more sinister? As Ana negotiates her way through complicated relationships, she finds comfort in thinking about her grandfather's story. Remembering his voice, as he explained how he met her Spanish grandmother and how their lives were shaped by his one moment of wrongdoing, strengthens Ana's resolve to carry out her mission to the end, regardless of the dangerous consequences that follow her even when she returns home to Australia.

For the hundreds of thousands who buy writers’ guides every year, at last there’s one that tells the ugly writers who can’t get published are usually making a lot of mistakes. This honest, often funny,  book shows them how to identify their own missteps, stop listening to bad advice, and get to work. Drawing on his experience as founding editor of MacAdam/Cage, Pat Walsh gives writers what they need—specific, straightforward feedback to help them overcome bad habits and bad luck. He avoids the optimistic, sometimes misleading directions often found in publishing how-to books and presents the industry as it is, warts and all. Here is the first guide that tells writers just what the odds against them are and gives them practical tips for evening them.

An updated look at more than 5,000 years of India's history. As recently as the turn of the century, Western images of India pictured it as a land of religion, luxury, and desperate poverty—holy men sitting cross-legged by the roadside, fat maharajas on bejeweled elephants, or poverty-stricken beggars picking garbage for scraps to eat. Now that image has started to change. Today Americans are more likely to imagine Indian workers in call centers taking jobs needed in the United States or kids winning fortunes on quiz shows as in Slumdog Millionaire. Admired for its spiritual traditions (two of the world's major religions—Hinduism and Buddhism—originated here), for its peaceful struggle for independence led by Mohandas K. Gandhi, and for its vibrant culture (from Bollywood and spicy cuisine to classical music and world-renowned authors), India has had a long and fascinating history. However, while most people are familiar with certain parts of Indian history and culture, the roots of the country's contemporary society and politics are not always well understood in the West. Covering approximately 5,000 years of history, A Brief History of India, Second Edition offers an accessible, reliable introduction to the rich and diverse history of India. Coverage includes: Caste, Kings, and the Hindu World Order Gandhi and the Nationalist movement Constructing the Nation Bollywood and Beyond India in the Twenty-First Century.

***Use you most mysterious voice while reading*** For centuries, young children have feared the alleged monster beneath their beds. Oh, the havoc those monstrous monsters have wreaked upon so many tired little tots. Well, it's time the tables are turned! Muwahahaha! Sorry, that was a bit much. Or was it not enough? I'll let you be the judge. In book one of the Monstrosity Curiosity duology (I double dog dare you to say that ten times fast- and be sure to check out book two What Do Monsters Eat & Drink?), humor author C.T. Walsh speculates about what young monsters' bedtimes looks like. And what's more- who are said monsters afraid of when the lights go out? You might be surprised. Or not. You might be a total genius and figure it out or perhaps you have monster blood coursing through your veins and when you close your eyes, your monster fears come to life and you know what haunts them. If that's the case, you should probably get that checked out, but if you are still quite unsure, it's time we figure out this Monstrosity Curiosity and put this monster mystery to bed...if you dare. Muwahahaha!
