Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last . . .

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general - also known as her tough-as-talons mother - has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you're smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away . . . because dragons don't bond to 'fragile' humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother's daughter - like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She'll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Alliances will be forged. Lives will be lost. Traitors will become allies . . . or even lovers. But sleep with one eye open because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

A son who was keeping alpacas in sheep rearing country was enough to despair any man which was probably one of the reasons why Joe Addle persuaded his son Gary to attend that meeting in order to better himself! Still when Gary was elected to serve on the Pink Rose Party against the local school mistress Joe may have been rather surprised but he was even more so when he found out that the two of them were in cahoots planning that Viking Seaway. By this time however other bodies had entered into the fray such as Andrew Masterson and his father in law, an old union official and perhaps even more significantly the figure of Walter Grimsdale who was nothing if not determined to put an end to this fiasco which had its roots in the history books. Thus in the face of such opposition was it possible that true love would survive and if so at what cost?

If Kelly was surprised when she managed to secure the job acting as companion and secretary to a Professor who was returning to England after suffering an accident, she was even more surprised when she met Stefan Rincon. Surprised that was at herself for actually falling for the man! But then life does not always proceed without its complications. One of these was the fact that she herself was being used by others to glean scientific information from the Professor and yet another came in the fact that once back in England and seeking a future in the theatre she was to find herself at the centre of foreign intervention. Even so perhaps the thoughts she had of Marie Sanchez having already formed a relationship with the Professor were to be proved wrong when it was this person who eventually came to her rescue. But Stefan himself still remained an enigma and a happy ending seemed to be quite impossible!

When Rob's engagement party throws the gang together once more, some passions are reignited, old connections and resentments resurface. Over the next twelve months, there will, among the friends, be a birth, a marriage, and a death – but whose?

BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES is an era-spanning, globe-trotting novel about love, friendship, and how to stay at least relatively sane in an ever crazier world. It’s about a group of friends growing older, the possibility of second chances, about kindness and joy. It’s about births, deaths, marriages... and everything in between.

Could it be that our fate is decided for us by some mysterious higher power? For example, is there a special someone...a soul mate...made for each and every one of us? Seems like a silly and, not to mention, unfair idea...but what if it were true...and worse still what if we did not recognise our soul mate when the time came for us to meet? Suppose it were true, but that either through our fault, or due to some other circumstance beyond our control we lost our chance with that one perfect match, would it upset the balance of destiny in some way? Imagine for a moment that it was the truth...would the higher power try to put it right, even though death and time had intervened to prevent, seemingly forever, that which was supposed to be. Intrigue, passion, humour, violence, sex, murder and even a ghostly spectre are the hallmarks of this pleasant and gripping tale.

Girl comes out as bi. Girl falls for a straight guy.

Simone Whittaker has spent the first three decades of her life pretending to be straight. But when the girl she never dared call her girlfriend walks away, she decides she’s done living in fear. Her uptight parents don’t take the news well, but a viral coming-out post and a new job at Toronto’s Rainbow Museum offer a fresh start—and a crash course in queer adulthood.

That is, until her first day of work, when Simone ruins a project designed by Ryan Foley—the museum’s gruff and annoyingly hot carpenter—earning her the top spot on his enemies list. When they’re forced to take a work trip to the Whistler Pride and Ski Festival together, Simone vows not to let a grumpy straight guy ruin her first Pride. But Ryan keeps surprising her—thoughtful, vulnerable, and impossible to ignore. As sparks fly on chairlifts and by crackling fires, one snowstorm—and one bed—changes everything.

Back in Toronto, however, reality sets in. Dating a guy—and being mistaken for straight—weren’t exactly part of Simone’s coming-out plan. As the pressure builds between the identity she’s just beginning to explore and the relationship that wasn’t supposed to happen, she starts to wonder: What if claiming one part of herself means erasing the other?
