Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors, originally from the English Midlands and now settled in New Zealand, have allowed half-remembered phrases to find their way onto the printed page for the enjoyment of all. Accompanied by 'translations' in modern speech, they've presented the reader with a dip-in kaleidoscope of the way we speak for generations still to come. Charming, homely and heart-warming, it's the sort of book to curl up with and recall how we are, how we used to be, and the sheer silliness of why we opened our mouths in the first place. This book is never going to end. So have a smile, or a tear, at the Britain that used to be or we thought we knew, as one remembers the past.

Book excerpt: 1.How the hell am I supposed to give a man the silent treatment when he's the one being silent? 2.My lunatic best friend has started talking to (and sleeping with) an inflatable doll called Barry... 3.And as for mum - she's only been tending my recently-rehabilitated sister's cannabis bush, thinking it's a tomato plant! Hurtling through her thirties, Tara is still yet to find her perfect man, despite gruelling efforts to transform herself into the perfect woman. Tara's prayers appear to have been answered when she miraculously falls into the arms of Travis Coleman - the famed, silver-tongued sex demon. It would seem the years of curling, plucking, painting and waxing may have finally paid off... However, Tara's fairy-tale soon spirals out of control when Travis inexplicably ceases all contact with her. Distraught and desperately stumbling from one crisis to another, Tara ultimately loses her mind, her dignity and - shamefully - her Knickers. Fur Coat No Knickers is a hilarious, touching and outrageous tale; bound to relate to any woman who has ever feared becoming nothing more than a booty call.

Book excerpt: A city torn apart by war. A family torn apart by tragedy. A classic World War II saga from the author of Palace of Tears. At the top of Lester Road in London’s East End stands “Paddy’s Castle,” the three-story, red-bricked Georgian house that is home to Grace Donnelly and her family. Life may be hard in the late 1930s, but it is nothing compared with what is about to follow. Grace’s beloved fiancé Stanley decides to enlist in the fight against Nazi Germany. And as the sirens signal blitz after blitz of bombers, the family can only hide in the cellar and hope they will survive. But Grace has more than just the Germans to worry about. The good-looking Nobby Clark is keen to do more than just look out for his best friend’s fiancée. And scheming barmaid Beryl Lovesett is determined to worm her way into the family home, seducing Grace’s uncle with her fur coat, no knickers . . . “A gripping wartime novel, with strong female characters . . . Full of courage, hope, and heartbreak.” —Alina’s Reading Corner

Book excerpt: A bold, haunting, and startlingly unique novel about the secrets we leave behind and the places that hold them long after we are gone, a “quintessential novel of Edinburgh at its darkest.” (Irvine Welsh) There are stories tucked away on every floor of 10 Luckenbooth Close 1910, Edinburgh. Jessie MacRae has been sent to a tenement building by her recently deceased father to bear a child for a wealthy man and his fiancée. The harrowing events that follow lead to a curse on the building and its residents—a curse that will last for the rest of the century. Over nine decades, 10 Luckenbooth Close bears witness to emblems of a changing world outside its walls. An infamous madam, a spy, a famous Beat poet, a coal miner who fears daylight, a psychic: these are some of the residents whose lives are plagued by the building's troubled history in disparate, sometimes chilling ways. The curse creeps up the nine floors as an enraged spirit world swells to the surface, desperate for the true horror of the building's longest kept secret to be heard. Luckenbooth is a bold, haunting, and dazzlingly unique novel about the stories and secrets we leave behind—and the places that hold them long after we are gone.
