Duchlan Castle is a gloomy, forbidding place in the Scottish
Highlands. Late one night the body of Mary Gregor, sister of the
laird of Duchlan, is found in the castle. She has been stabbed to
death in her bedroom - but the room is locked from within and the
windows are barred. The only tiny clue to the culprit is a silver
fish's scale, left on the floor next to Mary's body.Inspector
Dundas is dispatched to Duchlan to investigate the case. The Gregor
family and their servants are quick - perhaps too quick - to
explain that Mary was a kind and charitable woman. Dundas uncovers
a more complex truth, and the cruel character of the dead woman
continues to pervade the house after her death. Soon further
deaths, equally impossible, occur, and the atmosphere grows ever
darker. Superstitious locals believe that fish creatures from the
nearby waters are responsible; but luckily for Inspector Dundas,
the gifted amateur sleuth Eustace Hailey is on the scene, and
unravels a more logical solution to this most fiendish of
plots.Anthony Wynne wrote some of the best locked-room mysteries
from the golden age of British crime fiction.This cunningly plotted
novel - one of Wynne's finest - has never been reprinted since
1931, and is long overdue for rediscovery.

Conversations at Warp Speed features insightful interviews with
actors who were there at the inception of the original Star Trek
television series (Grace Lee Whitney, George Takei, and James
Doohan). They share their memories of the science fiction
phenomenon and are joined by additional performers who appeared in
later series and film incarnations (Robin Curtis, Nick Tate, Bibi
Besch, Armin Shimerman, and Kitty Swink). Other interviewees
include producer and writer Eric A. Stillwell ("Yesterday's
Enterprise"), and the creator of Star Trek himself - Gene
Roddenberry. Not only limited to their various involvements with
the classic show, a number of the conversations in this book more
deeply examine the careers, backgrounds, and other notable work of
the performers and professionals - both prior to and following
their work on the iconic series and films. Conversations at Warp
Speed also features the final interview with actor Paul Carr, plus
a talk with Star Trek fans Marlene Daab and Carol Jennings.

Gretchen Corbett (Otherworld, The Rockford Files), and Barry Morse
(The Fugitive, Space: 1999).
As a student at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Barry Morse met
famed playwright George Bernard Shaw and his life was forever
changed. Through a career spanning more than seven decades, Morse
played more than 3,000 parts on stage, radio, and in film and
television (The Fugitive, Space: 1999), including all the plays of
William Shakespeare and Bernard Shaw. "Valiant for Truth" pays
tribute to Barry Morse's lifelong dedication to Bernard Shaw.
Alternately dramatic and humorous, this fascinating book provides a
thorough account of Morse's life and career as a Shavian, including
his time as Artistic Director of the Shaw Festival and President of
the Shaw Society of England. "Valiant for Truth is an enjoyable and
extremely well written appreciation of my father's work and
thoughts. It is a loving but honest "warts and all" account that
manages to be both accurate and interesting... even people who have
only the vaguest awareness of my father's career will find it
entertaining" - actor Hayward Morse
Law of Attraction, Meet the Law of Action The Law of Attraction
tells us that whatever we focus our attention on, consciously or
not, we attract into our lives. Think happy thoughts, enjoy happy
experiences. And vice-versa. The best selling, "Begin with Yes"
introduces the Law of Action, a principle that reverses the order -
and is equally powerful: What we do affects how we think, and the
kinds of experiences we have. When we take small, manageable steps,
we feel more positive and our lives flow more smoothly. "Begin with
Yes" is all about setting things in motion and opening new doors.
Getting unstuck. In this short, engaging conversation, counselor,
mentor, and motivational speaker Paul Boynton maps out a
surprisingly easy, logical, and liberating alternate route to a
better life. In short, not only does "Begin with Yes" make change
seem possible, it provides concrete examples that show the way. *
Joan Lunden - Former host "Good Morning America" writes, "With
warmth and encouragement, Paul Boynton places you front and center.
Read this little gem, get excited, and get going "
