At 24, Hera is a violently unsatisfied disaster. To her, the future
is nothing but an exhausting thought exercise, one depressing
hypothetical after another. She's a mean little thing, adrift in
her own smug malaise, until her new job as an "online community
moderator" of a news outlet's online comment section-a job even
more mind-numbing than it sounds-introduces her to Arthur, a
middle-aged journalist. Though she's preferred women to men for
years now, she relishes becoming a cliché as their mutual
infatuation quickly festers into affair. She is coming apart with
want and loving every second of it! Well, except for the tiny
hiccup of Arthur's wife - and that said wife has no idea Hera
exists. With her daringly specific and intimate voice, Gray has
created an irresistible and messy love story about the terrible
allure of wanting something that promises nothing; about the joys
and indignities of coming into adulthood against the pitfalls of
the 21st century; and the winding, torturous, and often very funny
journey we take in deciding who we are and who we want to be.

Because if he and Fliss can't stop the creature by their thirteenth

‘This is fantastic’ THE TIMES ‘Truly, this is food for
thought’ CAL FLYN ‘Universally urgent. Everyone should read
it.’ CAROLINE EDEN ‘Deeply relatable’ THE SPECTATOR
‘Engaging stories and lively sanity’ HATTIE ELLIS ‘Essential
reading for anyone that eats’ JAKE FIENNES - The food stories
behind your favourite fruits and vegetables. Have you ever wondered
who picked your Fairtrade banana? Or why we can buy British
strawberries in April? How far do you think your green beans
travelled to get to your plate? And where do all the wonky carrots
go? Above all, how do we stop worrying about our food choices and
start making decisions that make a difference? In an effort to make
sense of the complex food system we are all part of, Louise Gray
decides to track the stories of our five-a-day from farm to fruit
bowl, and discover the impact that growing fruits and vegetables
has on the planet. Through visits to farms, interviews with
scientists and trying to grow her own, she digs up the dirt behind
organic potatoes, greenhouse tomatoes and a glut of courgettes. In
each chapter, Louise answers a question about a familiar item in
our shopping basket. Is plant protein as good as meat? Is foraged
food more nutritious? Could bees be the answer to using fewer
chemicals? How do we save genetic diversity in our apples? Are
digital apps the key to reducing food waste? Is gardening good for
mental health? And is the symbol of clean eating, the avocado,
fuelling the climate crisis? As pressure grows via social media to
post pictures of food that ticks all the boxes in terms of health
and the environment, these food stories from the author of the
award-winning The Ethical Carnivore are also a personal story of
motherhood and the realisation that nothing is ever perfect.
Triple bill of crime dramas. In 'Bad Karma' (2012), starring Ray
Liotta and Dominic Purcell, a criminal's attempts to go straight
are sabotaged by his former partner. Relocating from Sydney to the
Gold Coast to start afresh, Molloy (Liotta) is remarkably
successful and even finds something approaching domestic bliss with
a new girlfriend. Naturally, when his old crime partner Mack
(Purcell) tracks him down he finds that Molloy is reluctant to
return to his past life. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter the
increasingly deranged Mack as he sets about convincing Molloy to
help him pull off one last job. In 'The Entitled' (2011) social
misfit Paul (Kevin Zegers) is driven to desperate measures when he
is turned down for yet another job and his ill mother is given a
foreclosure notice on the family home. He enlists the help of two
friends to abduct three kids from rich families and hold them
ransom for a million dollars each, but the plan goes badly wrong
and they soon find themselves in way over their heads. 'Officer
Down' (2012) follows Detective David Callahan (Stephen Dorff),
known as 'Cal' on the force, who has had a mixed career as a police
officer, struggling with drink problems and straying to the wrong
side of the law himself at times. When he finds himself caught up
in a murder investigation, Cal must attempt to overcome the demons
from his own past as well as the challenges of the case.
Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.

Fiction Prize A life without freedom to choose is not worth having.
Godwin Baxter's scientific ambition to create the perfect companion

who he brings back to life in a Frankenstein-esque feat. But his
dream is thwarted by Dr. Archibald McCandless's jealous love for
his creation... But what does Bella think? This story of true love
and scientific daring whirls the reader from the private
operating-theatres of late-Victorian Glasgow through aristocratic
casinos, low-life Alexandria and a Parisian bordello, reaching an
interrupted climax in a Scottish church. ________________________

series provides readers with a deeper appreciation of God's gifts
and call in the sacraments through a renewed encounter with God's
Word. James Prothro offers a biblical theology of the sacrament of
reconciliation--the restoration of the sinner through forgiveness
and repentance. Prothro fleshes out the patterns in which God's

confess, and are forgiven and called to reengage their relationship
with God by growing in faith and love through God's ministry of
grace. Series editors are Timothy C. Gray and John Sehorn.
Gray and Sehorn teach at the Augustine Institute Graduate School of
Theology, which prepares students for Christian mission through
on-campus and distance-education programs. Gray is also president
