Don't Tell'em You're Cold: a Memoir of Poverty and Resilience is an uplifting story of survival from abject poverty, set in the hills and coal camps of southern West Virginia. Katherine Manley and her family faced extreme challenges and struggles with ingenuity and traditional Appalachian stoicism. Beyond the poverty, other obstacles compounded Katherine's life: a severely disabled father, and a mother who struggled with the day-to-day survival. On a cool October morning, she left in a taxi and never returned, leaving 14-year-old Katherine to take care of her father and raise her siblings in her mother's stead. Katherine went on to become an award-winning teacher, paying forward her hard-learned lessons to thousands of lucky students. This is a story of triumph that encourages everyone to never give up.

Humans, elves, faeries and tides live together in the hustling city of Luzaria. But when Curfew rings, the streets are empty and from the dark walled off zone of Noctia, the gates are opened: necromancers, sorcerers, witches, vampires, werewolves and demons can stroll through at their leisure around the luzaran city, protected by the Common Law, that justifies any of their actions that takes place between midnight and the break of dawn. And the situation is that luzarans and noctis have taken years taking actions with the goal of strengthening bonds between both worlds, divided only by the huge wall that encloses Noctia inside of it: The Empire of the Night. Common Law includes as well the so-called Commute. June is a young human that will spend her next year living in Noctia, while Tayr, a mysterious sorcerer, will be in her home, under her roof, and next to her brother Adrien, whose curiosity over him will grow at the same time an uncontainable attraction does, but... Who is really Tayr?

More of New York Times best-selling author Kelley Armstrong's most popular Otherworld characters get a chance to shine in this second short fiction collection, showcasing critical moments from many different lives. Kelley Armstrong's readers have proven themselves a dedicated fan-base: her previous hardcover collection of short stories, Men of the Otherworld, appeared on the New York Times bestseller list, and Canadian lists too—despite three of the stories having been available, unedited and for free, for years on Armstrong's website. With a similar format—a handful of reedited stories and one wholly original novella—Tales of the Otherworld explores the lives of some of Armstrong's most popular characters, giving readers glimpses into how Clay and Elena met, how Eve and Kristof first hooked up (a brand new novella), and how Lucas and Paige got married. Kelley is a superstar of the genre, and Tales of the Otherworld is a great way to begin 2010.
