Kate O'Leary's position in the small village in Northern Ireland has always been precarious. With strong beliefs that don't always align with those of her deeply religious community, it's a place she has nonetheless made home. Her role as the local GP, helping generations of those in need, gains her the begrudging respect of the village. That is, until a body of a young woman is found and her blood is in Kate's house. Following her arrest, the rumours begin to grow and Kate reaches out to the only person she knows who could help. Jannis, a close friend and a police officer in Germany flies over instantly, knowing that in the claustrophobia of small-town living an official verdict can mean nothing if those looking for revenge find you guilty. Can Jannis help Kate find the real killer and clear her name in the process? It might just be the only way to make it out alive. A gripping and atmospheric crime thriller perfect for fans of Mark Edwards, Claire Allan and Simon McCleave.

A thought-provoking exploration of life's most profound transition • With candor and refreshing perspective, Nancy Cobb infuses the oft-avoided subject of death with light, presenting it as a natural process to be honored rather than feared. "This meditation on grieving is personal and persuasive — sustenance for the mind and the soul." —Wally Lamb, #1 New York Times bestselling author “An elegant book ... that lets readers know they aren’t alone.”—The Wall Street Journal “Grieving is as natural as breathing, for if we have lived and loved, surely we will grieve. . . .” Nancy Cobb meets death in the most vital of places—in the lives of everyday people—and in doing so has found a way to make the darkest of subjects more approachable, and the deaths of those she has loved—and death itself—a subject to explore rather than to avoid. Cobb's personal experiences become a point of departure for what amounts to a deeper conversation about loss. She shares moments of her own mourning and draws others into the conversation as well: among them, a bank teller who still dreams of her deceased grandmother, two small children who bury a wild bird in its final nest beneath a maple tree, and a hospice nurse who acts as an end-of-life midwife. Cobb invites us to explore death through the shared humanity of everyday people, allowing their voices to demystify the inevitable while offering solace. Whether you are mourning a loved one, caring for someone at the end of life, or seeking wisdom on this universal experience, In Lieu of Flowers is a deeply comforting companion. Its gentle candor and hard-won insights will inspire you to embrace grief fully while finding light in life's final transition.

Vox Populi and PARTICIPANT INC are pleased to present Dead Flowers, a group exhibition based on the work of actor/director Timothy Carey. Carey became known as a pioneer of underground film due to his rarely seen 1962 film, 'The World's Greatest Sinner'. Screenings of this and other unreleased films by Carey, as well as a presentation of his ephemera and artifacts, will be organized in cooperation with Romeo Carey, the artist's son and Executor of the Timothy Carey Estate. The exhibition draws themes from Carey's unique correlation between his life and work, which sought to define what it means to be an artist through an uncompromising understanding of the meaning of success ... Dead Flowers brings together an intergenerational group of artists to address such shifting methodologies, ideals, aesthetics, and working models, as expressed by works from the late 60s and 70s (by Alvin Baltrop, Paul Thek, and Cynthia Plaster Caster), and contemporary works by subsequent generations of artists (including Kembra Pfahler, Scott Ewalt, Marti Domination, Georg Gatsas, and Johanna Constantine) and of course, both, as many of the artists' work spans this entire period. The exhibition aims to address the relationship between alternative and mass culture by bringing together a small group of artists who have consistently aligned themselves with communities outside the mainstream, and entered the dominant fields of art and film, sporadically and to critical effect, as uncompromising proof that other ways of working are possible - inside and outside traditional expectations of the artist - to rewrite rules of artistic production through conscious economic and critical efficiency.--http://voxpopuligallery.org.
