A biting, post-modern horror about day jobs and monsters – one of which will devour you whole, but perhaps not the one that you think. Noah desperately needs a new job that involves less blood and piss than his current one. So, when he spots an ad for a newspaper with ‘No experience preferred’, he puts on his good shirt and marches down to their average-looking office to unknowingly sign his life away. Malachia is the only human left in the City of Silence and she spends her time wandering its empty, bone-filled streets. Until one day she finds a lone figure hunched over a typewriter, his fingers enmeshed with the keys. Could he be the answer to finding her missing girlfriend? Propelled by their pursuits for rent money and truth, Noah and Malachia are pushed to their limits by a sinister media powerhouse. Will either of them survive the darkness that ensues?

Meet Fran and Ken Stein - a private investigator duo who refuse to let a little thing like being not entirely human stop them from doing their jobs. "Twisty and bonkers and fun" Multi award-winning author Catriona McPherson After losing their parents when they were just babies, private investigators Fran and Ken Stein now specialize in helping adoptees find their birth parents. So when a client asks them for help finding her father, with her only clue a rare ukulele, the case is a little weird, sure, but it's nothing they can't handle. But soon Fran and her brother are plunged into a world where nothing makes sense - and not just the fact that a very short (but very cute) NYPD detective keeps trying to take eternal singleton Fran out on dates. All Fran wants to do is find the ukulele and collect their fee, but it's hard to keep your focus when you're stumbling over corpses and receiving messages that suggest your (dead) parents are very much alive. Ukuleles aside, it's becoming clear that someone knows something they shouldn't - that Fran and Ken Stein weren't so much born, as built . . . The Ukulele of Death is the first in a new series of light-hearted, paranormal tinged mysteries that are filled with off-beat humor, heart and the wry wisdom that's E.J. Copperman's signature style.

In Work in Progress, Dr. Abbie Maroño debunks the pervasive myth that shame is the antithesis of empowerment, revealing how, if understood and embraced, it can guide us towards our most authentic selves. Popular media often offers individuals empty promises of empowerment, urging them to become ‘bulletproof.’ It also portrays shame as the antithesis of empowerment. Yet, in reality, shame signals when one’s actions don’t align with their ideal self. By dismissing this signal, they hinder their journey to becoming their best selves. True empowerment arises when one cultivates a healthy relationship with shame. Work in Progress delves into the science of shame and empowerment, equipping people to navigate their feelings of shame and transition into a state of empowerment. While many books on empowerment are well-intentioned, they often overlook or misinterpret the science behind individuals’ experiences of shame, how they reconcile their self-perception with their surroundings, and how they achieve empowerment amidst its elusive definition. This work challenges the idea that empowerment is exclusively a feminist concept reserved for women. It underscores that empowerment is universal, accessible to all, no matter who they are.
