Summary

A collection of three novels by Amanda Apthorpe, Brian Prousky & Ronald Bagliere, now available in one volume!Whispers In The Wiring: After the death of his twin brother, Catholic priest Rupert Brown is burdened with grief. When neuroscientist Athena Nevis invites him to take part in her research on heightened religious experiences, Rupert begins to question his life. Soon, Athena’s and Rupert’s interest begins to extend beyond their professional relationship, bringing them both face to face with their values and spirituality.
 
Auden Triller (Is A Killer): Simon and Auden Triller are twins whose only similarity is the surname they share. Auden’s life is as sparse as Simon’s is full. Auden realizes that the solitude he’s chosen for himself is less peaceful than insanity-making. When he finally loses his grip on reality, his actions precipitate a tragedy that threatens to sever his fraternal bond, just when he needs Simon the most.
 
Starting Over: After a devastating loss, Janet Porter’s life in Oregon's Willamette Valley has begun to settle down. When her son Nate returns home from Iraq on a medical discharge, he just wants to be left alone. Desperate for help, Janet confides in Andy McNamara - a war veteran who volunteers at the local V.A. clinic. Soon, it becomes clear that Nate's wounds go far deeper than his torn-up leg. As a tornado touches down in Willamette Valley, they're all thrown into a new world - a world of starting over.

    'heartily recommended, and a really, really good book for dipping randomly into, as well as of excellent quality all round.' – Mab Jones, Buzz
    'A big box of marvels, abuzz with distinctive voices and vivid tales. This is dazzling testament to the ability of Creative Writing groups to energise and inspire.' – Alan Bilton
    'Down-to-earth at one moment, the next fantastical, humorous or heartfelt, nostalgic or raw, and yet hospitable, grounded in locality but with connections open to the wide world' – Philip Gross
    Some collections serve to mark particular events or milestones, whilst others contain work of the highest quality. This collection manages both of these things, with 75 pieces of poetry, creative non-fiction, and short fiction by local writers celebrating 75 years of creative writing in this fabulous city of the arts.
    Cardiff Writers' Circle was formed in 1947 and is joined here by other local writing groups, all lending their imaginations to a wide variety of styles, genres, and formats. Poignant, playful, satirical, and acutely observed, this anthology is a showcase for the fantastic talent that exists today in Cardiff, city of the dragon.

    Far north in the Atlantic Ocean, where islands are small, rocky, and infested with sheep and humans, live the Selkies—a race of seal/human shapeshifters of unearthly beauty. 
    The five short stories in Ara's Prelude recount the early lives of characters from the novel ARA’s SONG. You’ll meet Princess Ara as a seal pup and young Seamus defending his dreams of becoming a fisherman. Seamus’s folks struggle to protect him from those vicious Selkies, while Ara’s father warns of dangerous humans like that boy she finds so fascinating. And then there’s Oluva, the psychic shopkeeper who knows more about Selkies than she lets on. 
    Chronologically, these are the first events in THE SELKIE CHRONICLES, but each book stands alone. 
    Selkies are beguiling and real. Come see for yourself.

    Imagine for a moment, you’re Marcus Cooper. A slick stranger meets you in a bar. You're drunk. You talk a lot. Without you realizing it, he’s learning about you. Your desire for money and women. By night’s end, he makes you a million-dollar proposition to cause a drunk-driving accident. Sounds crazy to you? Maybe, maybe not. You’re out of work. Bills are piling up. You owe your bookie six grand. But mostly, you're twenty years removed from being the high school football hero you once were, doubting how much longer life is worth living. Do you take the chance?
