Sweet and Sour Niggles – A collection of rambling words by Waheeda Bi Khan is not just a book of poetry. It is a woman’s journey to liberation and emancipation by breaking the shackles of societal norms and rules that try to entangle her whole life. She has beautifully depicted her pain and anguish in simple yet profound words which are bound to touch the reader’s heart and soul. Each poem strikes a chord in the strings of our hearts and brings tears to our eyes. And yet, in the end, you see a woman emerging more powerful, free, liberated, and happy, a woman who has won the fight and come out wounded but triumphant. The reader cries with her and smiles with her too! I wish Waheeda all the very best for her future and pray to the Almighty to give her the strength and courage to write more so that she can inspire many more broken women currently struggling to do what they want to do, live how they want to live and dream what they want to dream. I am honoured to introduce this beautiful book of poetry! —Sumana Kundagrami

Dirty, dangerous, pristine, and opulent. Welcome to West Marque. The Call has gone out, summoning the Fifth Wheel to the Holy City, Jonah’s Sword. There, they prepare to take their sacred oath as knights-of-the-realm. The Marshals, the Marshals’ Men and even the High Marshal himself, Ablechance Mainhouse, will attend. The oath swearing occurs only once every twenty years and is often accompanied by change…and sometimes war. The realm has enjoyed peace for nearly two decades under Mainhouse but the bitter taste of defeat still lingers in the mouths of his old rivals. Many would like to see the old man removed from the High Seat, including Genevieve Goodregard, the Lady of Seawall. Genevieve desires to see her husband as High Marshal and herself as High Lady. She has worked hard to this end with the help of the scheming and powerful bishop, Michael. For Genevieve, the Call is much more than the swearing of an ancient oath. It is a call to action. The chips are down, the important players are gathered, and it is time for her to play her hand. It is a time for her to go All In.

If you're reading this, it may mean I'm in trouble. I am, Riley is...the whole world is in deep strife. With their friend missing and people throughout history falling through holes in the continuum, 17yo Madison and Riley must travel to the future to get to the bottom of who's at the top of the shadowy time travel organisation known as Recall. At the front of their mind is a question—how did Recall find out about time travel? Who told them? If they learn the answer, they'll need to undo that one moment, winding back the chain of events that led the world into an almighty mess. If they can't find that precise moment in time—the point of origin of all the trouble—and reverse it, the temporal walls separating one age from another might come down, leading to a terminal global event. Time travel's like that, you see. Here one day, utterly erased the next. The breathtaking series conclusion.

With the wit and pace of Anthony Bourdain, Italian chef and anthropologist Leonardo Lucarelli sketches the exhilarating life behind the closed doors of restaurants, and the unlikely work ethics of the kitchen. In Italy, five-star restaurants and celebrity chefs may seem, on the surface, a part of the landscape. In reality, the restaurant industry is as tough, cutthroat, and unforgiving as anywhere else in the world--sometimes even colluding with the shady world of organized crime. The powerful voice of Leonardo Lucarelli takes us through the underbelly of Italy's restaurant world. Lucarelli is a professional chef who for almost two decades has been roaming Italy opening restaurants, training underpaid, sometimes hopelessly incompetent sous-chefs, courting waitresses, working long hours, riding high on drugs, and cursing a culinary passion he inherited as a teenager from his hippie father. In his debut, Mincemeat: The Education of an Italian Chef, Lucarelli teaches us that even among rogues and misfits, there is a moral code in the kitchen that must, above all else, always be upheld.

Winner of the Independent Publishers Book Awards (Gold Medal, Romance) Set in China in the late 1800’s, The Secret Language of Women tells the story of star-crossed lovers, Zhou Bin Lian, a Eurasian healer, and Giacomo Scimenti, an Italian sailor, driven apart by the Boxer Rebellion. When Lian is seventeen years old, she accompanies her Swiss father, Dr. Gianluca Brasolin, fluent in Italian, to tend the Italian ambassador, at the Summer Palace of Empress Dowager, where she meets and falls in love with Giacomo. Through voyage and adventure, their love intensifies, but soon is severed by Lian’s dutiful promise as the wife to another. Forbidden from pursuing her chosen profession as a healer, and despised because she does not have bound feet, she is forced to work in a cloisonné factory while her in-laws raise her daughter, Ya Chen. It is in Nushu, the women’s secret writing, that she chronicles her life and her hopes for the future. Rebelling against the life forced upon her, she empowers herself to act out against the injustice and becomes the master of her own destiny. But her quest for freedom comes at a costly price: The life of someone close to her, lost in a raging typhoon, a grueling journey to the Yun-kang Caves, and a desperate search for beauty and love in the midst of brutality.
