Quiet HUMAAAAN

The first book in the sparkling Glorious Summer series from CP Ward, author of Christmas at the Marshmallow Cafe and Autumn in Sycamore Park.

Tired of the city, Grace Clelland returns to Blue Sands, the quiet Cornish seaside village where she grew up. There she will meet old flames and old friends, rekindle old loves and ignite new ones in a novel that will have you dreaming of the soft crash of the waves on the shore, the feel of sand between your toes, overloaded ice-creams and smoky beach barbeques.

Not to be missed – the debut summer novel from CP Ward – the author whose Delightful Christmas and Warm Days of Autumn series have captivated thousands of readers worldwide with their warmth, humour, and just a little hint of romance…

Some women refuse to stay buried.

When newlywed Rachel Corrigan arrives at her husband’s ancestral home in a desolate forest town, she expects a brief stay in the grand but crumbling Corrigan House. What she finds instead is a town emptied by time, a house shadowed by secrets, and a husband who seems increasingly like a stranger.

The townspeople whisper of the dead. The church stands rotting, its priest raving of ghosts. And beneath the forest floor, something ancient stirs.

As Rachel uncovers the truth about her husband’s first wife — Lavinia, who vanished under suspicious circumstances — she becomes entangled in a web of grief, betrayal, and long-buried sins. But Lavinia’s story is not over.

It’s just begun.

A haunting literary Gothic with the emotional resonance of Shirley Jackson and the decaying beauty of Rebecca, The Hungry Deep is a story of the horrors we inherit, the women we forget, and the price of silence.

“Give this book a peek. It’s a fun ride.” – Edward Ashton, author of Mickey7

After a global virus seemingly wipes out the entire male population, a skinny, socially awkward, self-conscious video game junkie is somehow still kicking. And he’s wildly unprepared for this new world. Out there waiting for him are physicians who want to study him, a cult of spiritual extremists who want to deify him and brutal gangs with far more nefarious intentions. Throughout his journey, Fletcher does his best to act like a real man, being that he’s the only one around. Unfortunately, this only leads to more problems… for him and humanity.

Erik Dargitz’s debut novel is a satirical post-apocalyptic tale about the last man on Earth-who also might be the last man you’d pick for the job.

It was a warm night on April 26th, 1986. Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov, the Chernobyl Reactor 4 plant engineer, called for a safety test. The test was to figure out how to keep the reactor cool until the backup electrical generators could be turned on. Three similar tests had been conducted the year before, but they hadn’t managed to produce any results. This test was going to be different.
