Greg Bear is one of the greatest science fiction writers of the late twentieth century. He has a powerful voice, combining the intense rationality of science with the intensely passionate characters that can only be created by a writer who loves humanity. Bear’s novel Moving Mars won the Nebula Award in 1994, and he did it again, in 2000, with Darwin’s Radio. He has been honored with Hugo and Nebula nominations for novel-length work eight more times. But Greg Bear’s short fiction is even more astounding, as this powerful career retrospective demonstrates. This collection contains Bear’s earliest published fiction from the late 1960s and early 1970s as well his remarkable award-winning work from the ‘80s and ‘90s—stories like the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novella- length version of “Blood Music” and the Hugo and Nebula Award-winner “Tangents.” This Collection is enhanced by brand-new introductions for each story, commentary, and reminiscences by Greg Bear.

A collection of short stories from celebrated author William Trevor in which he shines a light on the day-to-day life of Ireland and its citizens. From his debut collection, “The Day We Got Drunk on Cake,” published in 1968, to “Family Sins” (1990), William Trevor has crafted the short story to perfection, giving us brilliant and subtle stories full of the reversals, surprises, and shadowy truths we discover in life itself. To read this volume is not just to encounter an extraordinary literary stylist, but to understand life as surely as though we were looking through the eyes of his protagonists and—deeper still—into their hearts. William Trevor: The Collected Stories includes the tales from his seven previous books, as well as four stories that have never appeared in book form in America. They depict the comforts and frustrations of life in rural Ireland, the complexities of family relationships, and the elusive grace of love. They portray the almost invisible strands that bind people to each other as well as the chains that imprison them in solitary yearning.

A compelling and colourful memoir that takes the reader inside the forgotten world of domestic service. Arriving at the great houses of 1920s London, fifteen-year-old Margaret's life in service was about to begin... As a kitchen maid - the lowest of the low - she entered an entirely new world; one of stoves to be blacked, vegetables to be scrubbed, mistresses to be appeased, and even bootlaces to be ironed. Work started at 5.30am and went on until after dark. Yet from the gentleman with a penchant for stroking the housemaids' curlers, to the heartbreaking story of Agnes the pregnant under-parlourmaid, fired for being seduced by her mistress' nephew, Margaret's tales of her time in service are told with wit, warmth, and a sharp eye for the prejudices of her situation.

A dark cloud approaches the small community of Sun Valley, and only these Bear Shifter cowboys can save it. Will they find their Fated Mates in the process? The Bear Ranchers Ultimate Box Set is here! Contains the following novella stories: RIDING BEARBACK - Get back here you stupid cow! Jess Lincoln just wasn't cut out for this! She's a city girl from New York, used to cafe lattes in the morning and swanky bar Manhattans at night. But here she was, running from her past and her ex-husband. So why did she run to a cattle ranch of all things? Did she think she could just throw on some pumps and walk out to milk the cows? Was there anyone out here that could help her? Wyatt Wade knew his way around a ranch. His Bear Shifter Clan specialized in long distance travel of troubling species. Water buffalo, oxen and even flocks of ostrich: if it walked on this earth, they could herd it. But this fiery little city slicker that just moved into the ranch down the way was something else. She was all thorns and tangle weeds, but his primal instinct didn't care. She needed help, and he needed her. SADDLED BEARBACK - Jamie Campbell loves the family ranch, but a recent family tragedy has hung a dark cloud over the place. The cattle still graze, but her father has been a knot of worry and his whiskey is never far away. Her cousin Oliver has a knack for business, but when it comes to managing the herd of cattle, Jamie is in over her head. Not that she'd ever admit to needing help, of course. No matter how tall or handsome that help turned out to be... Jesse Crowe thought this would just be another normal gig. Help a local ranch get back on their feet and make a little spare change on the side. It looked like a win/win situation. Of course, as soon as he laid eyes on the rancher's daughter, his primal bear Shifter needs erupted. Oh yeah, this just turned into a win/win/win situation. Too blind to see the looming threat in their midst, could they have any chance of finding love when their lives were at risk? DANCING BEARBACK - Willow Davenport and her family have always loved the wild west. They love it so much, they sing and dance in their own Western themed show. Always on the hunt to expand their holdings, they are elated when the ranch next door goes on sale. They jump on the chance to buy it. Only they aren’t the only ones. Tyler Crowe, a Bear Shifter cowhand, is also interested, as are a couple of werewolves. On a tour of the place Tyler and Willow find themselves hopelessly attracted to each other. How can they bid against each other now? Luckily it’s not up to them to decide who gets the farm. Tyler will have to decide if her will tell her secret. Will she still love him when she finds out he’s a bear? When the bidding war starts who can keep their heads? Tyler and Willow need to keep theirs or risk losing everything. SPURRED BEARBACK - Sun Valley is in jeopardy. An age old debt has come due and the residents are in danger of losing their home. This weighs heavily on Valerie Rousseau’s mind. She was sent to Sun Valley by a company, interested in buying up the land. At first it’s just another job, just another corner of the land that this machine she represents wants to eat up. But then she meets the people and falls in love with a Bear Shifter named Kyle. This changes everything for her. Now she has to work to keep her job, save Sun Valley and try to win the heart of the man she’s seriously falling for. But time is running out and there are no easy fixes as darker secrets come to light. BUCKING BEARBACK - Sun Valley is being threatened by an evil werewolf corporation that has its eye set on destroying the place. Jeanie Buchanan is a pawn in this game of greed and revenge. Sent to Sun Valley to do a survey of the land, she is ill prepared for what she finds there. Over 75,000 words of steamy BBW Shifter novellas!
