Dashing Through the Snowbirds is the next merry installment of
Donna Andrews's New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow mystery
series. Christmas in Caerphilly is wonderful! Unless you're a
Canadian whose inconsiderate boss is forcing you to spend the
holiday there, far from family and friends, with only a slim chance
of a white Christmas. Meg already has her hands full, trying to
make the season festive for the dozen programmers who are staying
with her and Michael while working on a rush project with her
brother's software company. At least it's an interesting project,
since the Canadian company is doing forensic genealogy and DNA
analysis. When the inconsiderate boss is found murdered, there are
too many suspects. Even before their Christmas in exile, his own
employees had plenty of motives, and the growing number of people
suing the company for faulty DNA analysis and invasion of their
genetic privacy include at least one notorious murderer. Can Meg
crack the case in time to keep the Yuletide bright?
Meg and Michael's annual holiday celebration is well underway, with
a throng of out-of-town relatives staying at their house. Hosting
these festivities is a little harder than usual - they have to
relocate all the events normally held in their library, currently
occupied by Roderick Castlemayne, the irascible wildlife artist
who's creating twelve paintings of birds to illustrate Meg's
grandfather's latest nature book. Then someone murders Castlemayne
in the middle of a blizzard and sets loose the birds he was
painting. Can Meg help the police crack the case before the killer
strikes again? This intrigue-filled Christmas mystery takes readers
home to Caerphilly to join in Meg's family's holiday celebration -
including, of course, another baffling mystery.
The primary aim of Taking Control of Your Seizures: Workbook is to
improve the lives of patients with seizures. Both epileptic
seizures and nonepileptic seizures (NES) are prevalent and
potentially disabling. The Workbook is designed to be used by a
patient with seizures in conjunction with his or her counselor. The
Workbook contains step-by-step guidelines that enable patients to
take control of their seizures and their lives. The companion
Treating Nonepileptic Seizures: Therapist Guide enhances
effectiveness by providing session-by-session instructions for
counselors who use the Workbook with patients with NES. The authors
developed this treatment approach based on extensive clinical
experience and research with epilepsy and NES. Many patients who
have completed the Taking Control process experience fewer
seizures, reduced symptoms, and a greater sense of well-being.
Meg is relaxing in the hammock, taste-testing Michael's latest
batch of Arnold Palmers and watching the hummingbirds at their
feeders when her hopes for a relaxing early summer morning are
dashed. First her father recruits her to help him install a new
batch of bees in the hive in her backyard. Then Mayor Shiffley
recruits her to placate the NIMBYs (Not in my backyard), as she
calls them - a group of newcomers to Caerphilly who have built
McMansions next door to working farms and then do their best to
make life miserable for the farmers. And finally Meg's grandmother,
shows up, trailed by a nosy reporter who is writing a feature on
her for a genteel Southern ladies' magazine. Cordelia drafts Meg to
accompany her and Deacon Washington of the New Life Baptist Church
- and the reporter, alas - in their search for a long-lost
African-American cemetery. Unfortunately what they discover is not
an ancient cemetery but a fresh corpse. Can Meg protect her
grandmother - and Caerphilly - from the reporter who seems to see
the worst in everything . . . and help crack the case before the
killer finds another victim?

A Shakespearean twist on the long-running Meg Langslow mystery
series in Murder Most Fowl, the next installment from Donna
Andrews, award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The
Falcon Always Wings Twice. Meg Langslow's in for a busy summer. Her
husband is directing a production of Macbeth, and most of the cast
and crew are occupying spare bedrooms in their house. She also has
to keep an eye on Camp Birnam, where a group of medieval reenactors
are commemorating the real-life Macbeth by setting up what they
fondly believe is an authentic medieval Scottish military camp. And
then there's Damien Goodwin, a filmmaker who has been hanging
around, trying to document the production. When Goodwin hosts a
showing of some of the footage he's taken, he manages to embarrass
or offend just about everyone. The next morning Meg isn't exactly
surprised to find that someone has murdered him. But who? Some
people's motives were obvious from the footage: the couple whose
affair was revealed . . . the bombastic leader of the reenactors,
who could be facing years in prison if the evidence from the video
helps convict him of sheep stealing . . . the actress who's
desperately trying to downplay a health issue that could cost her
the role of her life. Other motives are only hinted at--did the
filmmaker have other footage that would reveal why one of the
actors is behaving so furtively? Unfortunately, whoever murdered
Goodwin also destroyed all the electronic devices on which his
video was stored. So Caerphilly's chief of police--and Meg--must
rediscover the same secrets the filmmaker did if they want to catch
a killer.

to health, isn't enough, a woman has jumped ship - leaving behind a
note that reveals alarming details about her fellow writing-retreat
members who are still onboard - and Meg's grandfather's assistant,
Trevor, is now missing too. Suspicions are flying all around...
Soon it's up to Meg to swab the decks and solve this killer case

Chesapeake Crimes 3 is the latest installment of the Agatha- and
Anthony-award-winning Chesapeake Crimes series.
"The Chesapeake Bay area is home to strong winds, joys, and
fears, where you lock your doors at night in the cities and
probably should lock them in the countryside, too, especially after
reading this anthology. [It] gave me 15 reasons to wish I had not
moved to the Midwest. And for the folks who are still living in
this supposedly mild-mannered region, all I can say is, enjoy the
weather, but watch your back." -- Sujata Massey
Tales of mystery, mayhem and murder from fifteen of the Chesapeake
Bay region's most talented crime writers. Includes the Agatha and
Anthony award-winning story, "Wedding Knife" by Elaine Viets and a
foreword by Laura Lippman.
