Ensemble comedy about a group of twentysomethings all approaching
the landmark age of 30 who decide to compile a list of things they
should do before they finally have to grow up. Cass (Dougray Scott)
is shocked to find that he might want to settle down, Dylan (Jimi
Mistry) is still trying to find the perfect woman, and Colin (Bruce
Mackinnon) is just desperate to have a threesome. Also starring

Climate change is not just an environmental problem, it’s a human
one. Yet as humans, we are not changing fast enough for ourselves
and our planet. Our sense of powerlessness and the belief that our
actions won’t make a difference is holding us back from taking
action and working on the psychological dimension of change could
make the difference to moving us forward. Â In this
transformative book, climate change coaching trailblazers Charly
Cox and Sarah Flynn explain why changing for our climate is so hard
and why coaching offers a key to affecting behaviour. With
practical, easy-to-grasp skills that shift mindsets and motivate
action they show how to build connection using a coaching approach,
to overcome resistance and empower people to embrace change.
 If people often tell you “What difference can I really
make?†or “How can we possibly succeed?†then Climate Change
Coaching will help you: •Understand the psychological barriers to
change, and how to address them •Gain practical,
connection-building skills to have more impact in every
conversation •Build stronger, more trusting relationships to make
long-term change more likely •Develop a new perspective on how
individual change leads to systems change •Discover how to help
organisations succeed at change and what creates social change
•Learn to coach and support yourself to manage stress and avoid
burnout  Whether you are changing an organisation, engaging
a community, or coaching individuals, this book will change the way
that you connect and how you influence. With example conversations
and real-life stories from 40 practitioners from the worlds of
sustainability, business, academia and coaching, it will show you
how coaching skills are being used individually and
organisationally to galvanise climate action. “This practical
guide fills many of the gaps, with tools that can help us become
better allies to each other in supporting the personal and systemic
shifts needed in our time.†Chris Johnstone, co-author of Active
Hope and trainer at ActiveHope.Training “Climate Change Coaching

'I was on the edge of my seat every time I turned the page!! One of
the best crime books I have ever read!!!' Reader Review You don't
want to play their games... All around Albuquerque, New Mexico,
young women are going missing, seemingly vanished into thin air.
With no link between the victims, Detective Alyssa Wyatt is quickly
plunged into a horrifying case with no obvious clues. And when
Jersey Andrews, the best friend of Alyssa's teenage daughter,
Holly, joins the list of vanished girls, the case becomes personal.
But this investigation will lead Alyssa and partner Cord into the
most sinister depths of humanity; an evil place where life is
expendable, and where the depraved can fulfil their darkest desires
- if they have the money to pay for it. As the first bodies appear,
abandoned on the streets, Alyssa is forced into a frantic hunt to
track down the killers - before more innocent women lose their
lives. But when the truth comes out, it seems that the key to
solving the case was hiding in the last place anyone expected... A
dark, tension-filled and absolutely nail-biting crime thriller with

Bringing together the collected works of bestselling poet Charly
Cox for the very first time with new and exclusive material. Nobody
asked for this Whatever this is Nobody asked for this Charly Cox
lays bare the last decade of her life. In this anthology of poetry,
combining her bestselling collections She Must Be Mad and Validate
Me, and with 70 new poems and handwritten annotations, she paints a
complex picture of the formative experiences of womanhood and
living with Bipolar II disorder. From first loves, to lost loves,
to the dark humour of mental illness, Nobody Asked For This is an
intimate and unflinchingly honest exploration of growing up in the
21st century.
From behind her came a noise, and she whirled around. Two pairs of
cold, murderous eyes stared back at her from beneath hooded cloaks.
She stood cemented in place, even as her brain screamed at her to
run... It's their usual Thursday girls' night in, and best friends
Skye, Elena, and London are enjoying hanging out at Skye's house in
New Mexico, eating junk food, drinking wine, and playing with
Skye's little children, Carter and Abigail. Until the intruders
arrive. Hearing the horrific screams from Elena and Skye, London
hides the children, tiptoes out to see what has happened... and
disappears. After Carter raises the alarm, Detective Alyssa Wyatt
is called in to investigate a bloodbath that appears to have no
motive, no evidence, and worse still - no sign of London. As Alyssa
and her team dig deeper, the truth is always out of their reach...
but what is clear is that they need to find London, and fast. And
as they uncover a link between the murders and a sinister local
cult, can Alyssa find the young woman who has vanished without a
trace - before London joins the list of victims? Meet Detective
Alyssa Wyatt. Mom, Wife... and a serial killer's worst nightmare.

'Brave and beautiful.' Stylist Magazine 'Social media's answer to
Carol Ann Duffy' Sunday Times STYLE 'Divine.' Cecelia Ahern She
Must be Mad explores coming-of-age: the pain and beauty of love,
the relief and the agony of turning from girl to woman, the
isolation of an untethered mind and the power and subjugation of
the body. Charly captures the formative experiences of today's
young women from the poignant to the prosaic in writing that is at
once witty, wry and heartfelt. Wayward nights out that don't go as
planned; the righteous anger at those men with no talent or skill
or smarts who occupy the most powerful positions in the world; the
strange banality of madness and, of course, the hurt and indecision
of unrequited love. For every woman surviving and thriving in
today's world, for every girl who feels too much; this is a call
for communion, and you are not alone.
'Charly is social media's answer to Carol Ann Duffy' Sunday Times

When the trunk slammed closed, sealing her fate, a deep cold
slithered into the center of Kennedy's bones. All she could do was
pray that her attacker would leave enough of her for her family to
identify... Kennedy Farmer, an experienced athlete, never returns
after leaving for her usual running route through the dusty
mountain trails of New Mexico. While the search for Kennedy begins,
Detective Alyssa Wyatt and her squad face a terrifying new case
when the body of a young woman, Rheagan Pembroke, is discovered in
the desert terrain surrounding Albuquerque. Her wounds horrify even
the hardened squad of the Albuquerque P.D. - and the case takes an
even darker turn when they discover a polaroid stuffed into the
victim's mouth, showing the body of Gunner Galveston, a murder
victim from fourteen years ago. Alyssa was a detective on the case,
but the culprit was never caught. As the team are taunted with
gruesome packages and blood-curdling phone calls, it becomes
evident that a serial killer - whose blood lust is quickly
increasing - has been operating in plain sight. To catch a killer,
Alyssa and the squad need to understand the savage desires driving
them ... before Kennedy becomes another life taken at the hands of
a psychopath. Meet Alyssa Wyatt: detective, mom ... and a serial
