A wonderful new book is coming from Random House Children's Books.

Gay themed rom-com that follows the lives and loves of a group of metrosexual males. Sick of his life as a TV producer, Harry (James Lance) would sooner leaver it all behind and travel the globe, though he's currently in a relationship with struggling actor Alex (Luke de Woolfson). Meanwhile, William (Rocky Marshall) is finding it hard letting his new love interest Lawrence (Leon Ockenden) into his life, especially as his nine-year old daughter keeps throwing a spanner in the works. Finally, successful artist Tom (David Morris) is quite happy to provide for occasional model Lars (Benjamin Hart) just as long as he can keep him interested, even if there are a few betrayals along the way.

According to Hart, the three important rules for success in marketing through the mail are:
- make sure that you are writing to the right people, that is, that you have secured the right mailing list
- your letters should come across as a personal communication from one person to another
- write about what your reader is interested in, not what you, the writer, are interested in. Hart's book is chock full of other rules, tips and axioms for effective letter writing, list selection, database management and the design and production of mailings that will help ensure success. Anyone who is involved in direct mail marketing on any level should read, and re-read, this book often. Until now there has not been a direct mail handbook of this quality and range for those not in the profession.

This book is a timely humanistic touch to memory studies. It uses literature as a laboratory for the workings of the mind, and characters as the subjects of human experimentation and diagnostics. This book considers authors from different societies and historical periods. The book is a refreshing illumination on the functioning of human memory. It complements the work of neuroscientists who seek to rationalize the workings of the same. Drawing from various ideas on memory, this rich and authoritative volume results from wide-ranging endeavors centered on the common fact that tracking memory in literature provides an astounding vista of orientations covered in its separate chapters. The writers examined in the various chapters become mediums for unleashing memory and its reconfiguration into artistic images. The ten separate chapters investigate different aspects of memory in such memoric associations as power, music, resistance, trauma, and identity. It is therefore no surprise that the editors should consider this book as "a veritable menu for everything needed for an unforgettable memory banquet."

This book is an opportune warning that alienation, estrangement and intentional diminishment serve as a cancer upon those who disburse it. The outsider suffers by being alone; the insider suffers even more by being forever known as a hypocrite who perpetuates dystopia. It uses literature as a hothouse for poisonous potted plants, the workings of a mind in turmoil and the exploration of a society or societies that seems to derive pleasure from others' ruin. Fears, Doubts, and Joy of Not Belonging considers themes that are biblical in scope from different societies and historical epochs. It is a sobering spiritual enlightenment of a child's "silent treatment" in adult form. The text complements language engineers and social scientists who are on a quest or search for how the individual responds to pressure that is unexpected, ill-conceived and in desperate need of alleviation. Not only does this particular type of cancer differ from the type a surgeon can treat, the stage at which this malady is diagnosed causes far more problems than if it were dealt with head on. Pursuing numerous examples of estrangement, this diverse text delves into a wide spectrum of human behavior while coming to the realization that these problems are universal and have been with us for a long, long time. The purpose of resistance, individuality and personal identity is to rise above these obstacles without losing hope, resilience or optimism.
