"A chilling and hard-hitting first novel" - The Herald. At the age of thirty, Campbell Johnstone is a failure. He's stuck behind the bar of a shabby pub, watching from the sidelines while everyone else makes a success of their lives. The most visible is Eve Sadler, a childhood friend and rising Hollywood star. When Campbell tries to rekindle their relationship, he longs for the glitter of her success to rub off on him - but a single shocking night changes everything, in ways he could never have predicted. When the dust settles, Cam's life is transformed. The recognition he'd given up on is within reach - but at what cost? The Last Treasure Hunt explores our obsession with fame and celebrity with great intelligence and sly wit - it's a modern media morality tale with bite.

Spirit of the Home is a wonderful guide to creating your own sacred space and sanctuary and discovering peace and tranquillity. Home is a reflection of the self. It tells us, and other people, who we are. The type of home we live in, the style of the furnishings and colours, all work together to remind us of our personality, our taste, our values and interests. Creating a soul-sustaining space, an intimate and emotional connection with our home, has become a pursuit of the 90's. As we change our lifestyles, downshift, work at home, deal with stress, live in different communities, we look towards home as a haven for peace and tranquility. The Spirit of the Home is a practical book, packed full of simple, easy-to-follow advice on how to make the most of your home: What does your home mean to you? * Does every space in your home have a special mood and purpose? * Does a healing home have to be a clean home? * Does energy, ch'i, flow smoothly? * Do you have good Feng Shui in your home? * Does your home feel good, smell good, and sound good? * Do you have a quiet corner? * Is your bathroom your sanctuary? * Can your home bring about change in your inner life?

Jane Alexander had never been involved in mainstream politics and was happily engaged in her acting career when she was asked to consider becoming head of the embattled National Endowment for the Arts in the early 1990s. When, during her first visit to the Hill, Senator Strom Thurmond barked at her, "You gonna fund pornography?" she knew it would be a rough ride. Nothing had quite prepared her for the role of madame chairman. Her tenure coincided with the ascent of the infamous 104th Congress, presided over by Speaker Newt Gingrich, and its campaign to eliminate the Endowment completely. In Command Performance, Alexander brings a Washington outsider's perspective and an actor's eye for the telling human detail to an anecdote-filled story of the art of politics and the politics of art. And at the start of a new administration in Washington, she reminds us why we need art and why government should be in the business of supporting it.

"Cassie is an addict who has hit rock bottom. But unlike the other attendees at her support group, it's not substance abuse that has ruined her life and severed her from her family. Most importantly, she can't talk about her addiction: she's legally gagged. Cassie had a high-flying marketing job at Imagen, the tech giant behind the cutting-edge virtual reality experience Make-Believe (TM), and she got to know the product she was selling well. Too well. When Lewis joins the support group, Cassie knows instantly that he's recovering from addiction to Make-Believe too. Perhaps they could find solace together. But while her developing relationship with Lewis is a welcome escape from the real world, Imagen and Cassie are not done with each other yet, but what hope does Cassie have against that colossal company?"
