Personal and political tensions collide when a baby is kidnapped in an absorbing historical whodunit from the author of the Gil Mayo Mysteries. London, April, 1912. The third Irish Home Rule Bill is passing through Parliament and the situation is growing ever tense. Closely involved in the negotiations, cabinet minister Edmund Latimer finds himself under growing pressure—which only intensifies when his seven-month-old niece Lucy is snatched away in her pram in Regent’s Park. Could there be a connection between Lucy’s kidnapping and the Irish talks? With her husband under intolerable strain, Edmund’s wife Alice makes it her business to find out. But the more she discovers, the more she realizes how little she really knows the man she married five years before. “A strong storyline and plenty of interesting characters.” —Kirkus Reviews “[A] socially illuminating standalone from Eccles.” —Publishers Weekly “Here [Eccles] has commendably portrayed life in the Edwardian era, including the public’s anxieties stemming from the labor strikes, the suffragette movement, the Irish question, and talk of war in Europe. . . . An enjoyable read.” —Historical Novel Society

Rage Against The LightPlace: Sydney CBD. Or a city anywhere. Time: Mostly daytime yet feels like night.Era: Early 21st century. Mood: Dark but hopeful.Light: Dramatic. Sydney is a city in the midst of a development boom. Skyscrapers. Cranes. Man-made environment. Concrete. Few trees. Mirrored surfaces. Windows magnifying light. Consumer advertising expressing people's desires. Impersonal at heart.There are signs of life amid the cold abstractions of architecture. People scurry about being literally exposed by light. They are struck by shafts between buildings like insects coming out for food. Solitary male figures appear as different identities. A man in a suit, dragging on a cigarette is lost in thought.Street photography is a genre with a long history (Garry Winogrand, Daido Moriyama, Trent Parke). The CBD is a favorite haunt. Some photographers seek out people or emphasize a sense of isolation in the crowd. Others evoke a haunting mood empty of human presence. Markus Andersen does both, loving the tradition of black and white (high contrast), square format and abstraction. With very deliberate cropping and enterprising juxtapositions he reveals his skill for graphic design. He aligns the elements of people and place to make a wryly humourous visual haiku. The Leunig of photography.Markus Andersen's photographs describe an experience familiar to us. It is exciting and full of promise to go to the CBD and yet it can leave us feeling empty. We go home only temporarily satiated. This essay is rich with worldly wisdom. There is satisfaction in the vision shared. It celebrates the humanity of the self and its endless creative ability to interpret. This is the role of the artist. It casts light on our experience by speaking from the heart. Markus Anderson sheds light on our love of life and our love of light.

Christopher Hitchens was the most eloquent of the New Atheists. With great rhetorical polish and an encyclopedic mind for historical facts and literary quotations, he presents the case of anti-theism very effectively. Though now deceased, Hitchens’ arguments continue to reverberate through his best-selling books and online presence. God, asserts Hitchens, would be, if he existed, the greatest of dictators. Religion, according to Hitchens, is morally bankrupt and madly irrational. The world is better off without them! But is this true? It is the purpose of this book to identify Hitchens’ worldview in order to subject it to a critique that will powerfully expose its many flaws. Rather than a dictator, God will be shown to be a God of love. Christianity too will be revealed as a faith that ought to resist tyranny, provides the best foundation for intrinsic human value, and is a rational belief-system. In so doing, this book appeals to all who have been influenced or convinced by Hitchens’ arguments to reconsider their position and refuse to rage against the light.

The Hierarchy, high priests of the religious order the Light, rules both the magical kingdom of Albi and its religion. Worshippers in the old ways of the Earth Mother, clandestinely scattered throughout the land, are persecuted as heretics. And when missionary student Rollo Woodbridge returns to his home in Albi, he is arrested for heresy and treason, setting off a chain of events that puts everyone's life in jeopardy and plunges the kingdom into chaos. With Rollo in jail, the treacherous motives of the Hierarchy begin in earnest as Earl Uptree of Norcaster puts the entire Woodbridge family at risk. When two wise women rescue Rollo from prison, the family home is destroyed--but Rollo and his siblings are left alive. While his sister Maddy and his brother Brat swear vengeance, Rollo attempts to broker a peace between the faiths. While Maddy works her way into advantageous positions and Brat joins the underground resistance, Rollo tries desperately to save his kingdom's future. As plots weave inexorably toward one another and life and death hang in the balance, the family must decide whether to stay and fight or leave Albi forever in the suspenseful, action-packed Against the Light.
