" Déjà, je me suis mis au monde tout seul. Ils étaient trois ou quatre à assister à l’événement, et ils m’ont toujours accordé une chose : c’est moi qui ai dû me taper le plus dur, vu que ma mère était, disons, hors du coup. " Né à même le sol d’un mobil-home au fin fond des Appalaches d’une jeune toxicomane et d’un père trop tôt disparu, Demon Copperhead est le digne héritier d’un célèbre personnage de Charles Dickens.

1867, Richmond, Virginia: Though she wears the same low-cut purple gown that is the uniform of all the girls who work at Worsham's gambling parlor, Arabella stands apart. It's not merely her statuesque beauty and practiced charm. Even at seventeen, Arabella possesses an unyielding grit, and a resolve to escape her background of struggle and poverty. Collis Huntington, railroad baron and self-made multimillionaire, is drawn to Arabella from their first meeting. Collis is married and 30 years her senior, yet they are well-matched in temperament, and flirtation rapidly escalates into an affair.

Eve Babitz captured the voluptuous quality of LA in the 1960s in a wildly original, totally unique voice. These stories are time capsule gems, as poignant and startling today as they were when published in the early 1970s. Eve Babitz is not well known today, but she should be. Her firsthand experiences in the LA cultural scene, translated into haunting fiction, are an unforgettable glimpse at a lost world and a magical time.

In the pre-dawn hours of August 24th, 1305, in London's Smithfield Prison, the outlaw William Wallace - hero of all the Scots and deadly enemy of King Edward of England - sits awaiting the dawn, when he is to be hanged and then drawn and quartered. This brutal sundering of his body is the revenge of the English. Wallace is visited by a Scottish priest who has come to hear his last confession, a priest who knows Wallace like a brother. Wallace's confession - the tale that follows - is all the more remarkable because it comes from real life.

But when they fall in love, they change the course of history. When Gordon arrived in Japan, he expected ruthless samurai, angry Japanese men ready to kill Australians at every corner. Instead, he found Cherry, terrified of ex-enemy soldiers, a 16-year-old survivor of the atomic bomb. Against all the rules and against all odds, they fall in love.

The Last Straw is not just a story of an educator; it’s the story of anyone who has ever felt unseen while giving their all. It’s about the quiet heroism of showing up anyway, the pain of ambition smothered by bureaucracy, and the haunting question: what happens when the system breaks the very people who are trying to save it?

An unlicensed promoter stumbles into the cockpit of a 1930’s seaplane and into an international air race, turning a sales stunt into a wild adventure, crossing the Australian outback, creating headlines, and near-death crashes. This is a rollicking aviation adventure based on a true story of a struggling 21-year-old ad guy and a 33-year-old seaplane spanning just 45 days as an unlicensed pilot in a daring attempt to participate in the 1969 London to Sydney Air Race. It begins with his abusive upbringing, starting at the bottom rung of the advertising world, leading to the start of his agency.

In 1909, Clementine steps off a train with her new husband, Winston. An angry woman emerges from the crowd to attack, shoving him in the direction of an oncoming train. Just before he stumbles, Clementine grabs him by his suit jacket. This will not be the last time Clementine Churchill will save her husband. Lady Clementine is the ferocious story of the ambitious woman beside Winston Churchill, the story of a partner who did not flinch through the sweeping darkness of war, and who would not surrender either to expectations or to enemies.
