The antidote to Valentine's Day if you like your reading sharp, not sickly sweet. 'Jean Gill's spiky humour makes you feel as if she's caught you on barbed wire and yet makes you smile about it'- Mike Sharpe, Haverfordwest Journalist Strong, fresh, vivid poems from award-winning author Jean Gill, on an astounding range of subjects including adultery, AIDS and the Mexican Earthquake. If you crossed Wendy Cope's work with Sylvia Plath's, Jean Gill's poetry might be the result. 'You're starting to smother me, darling, you're faded and boring, my dear. It's my turn to play with another and your turn alone with your fear.' Divided into two parts, this new edition includes the stories behind the poetry, some personal and some about world events; always surprising. 'Moving and varied '- Dorothy Tutin 'Jean Gill brings off the rare feat of looking life squarely in the eye without descending into dreary cynicism.' - HS Milford Haven,Journalist 'The author is particularly gifted with poetry.' The WishingShelf Award 'An excellent collection - I enjoyed the sharpness and insight, theword-play' - Robert Nisbet, Downtrain 'Brings out feelings you didn't know you had,' ClaireStibbe, Detective Temeke series

When SAS vet. Lacklan Walker buries his father at the family graveyard in New England, the last person he expects to see at the funeral is his childhood friend and sweetheart, Marni - the woman who'd killed his father. To make things more complicated, his father's dying wish was that Lacklan should look after her and protect her. Because Marni is on a mission, a mission to bring down the shadowy organization called Omega, the government within a government, a mission that might just save Mankind. But when Lacklan tracks her down to Tucson, Arizona, his biggest enemy turns out to be his own passion, his own need for redemption. A need that leads him astray and drags him ever deeper, as avenger and executioner, into the cross-border trade in crack cocaine and young Mexican prostitutes. But will his blind hunger for justice drive him to forget his promise to his father? Will it lead him to make the biggest mistake of his life - a mistake that could have disastrous consequences not just for him and Marni, but for the world...?

Lily Wong—a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja—has more trouble than she was bargaining for when controlling grandparents arrive in Los Angeles from Hong Kong at the same time she goes undercover in the dangerous world of youth sex trafficking. As she hunts for a kidnapped prostitution victim, a missing high school girl, and a sociopathic trafficker, the surviving members of a murderous street gang hunt for her. Life would be easier if Lily knew who to trust. But when victims are villains, villains are victims, and even family is plotting against her, easy is not an option. All Lily can do is follow the trail wherever it leads: through a high school campus polarized by racial tension or the secret back rooms of a barber/tattoo/brothel or the soul-crushing stretch of Long Beach Boulevard known as The Blade. She relies on her ninja skills to deceive and infiltrate, rescue and kill—whatever is necessary to free the girls from their literal and figurative slavery. If only those same skills could keep Lily’s conniving grandparents from hijacking her future.
