Laurence Falconer

Top of the Morgen! charts the adventures of Laurence Falconer, a craic-loving Dubliner, as he tries to get to grips with a new life in Germany. In his hilarious, heart-warming and self-deprecating style, Laurence explores and celebrates the similarities between the Irish and the Germans (smashing pints) and some of the vast cultural differences (pretty much everything else). 
 
From attempts at raucous busking in a quaint and quiet German village to the conversational pitfalls that come about when ‘grand’ is your answer to most questions, Laurence hilariously details the blunders and escapades that thrive in the bewildering cultural gap between the Irish and the Germans. An insightful and funny love letter to two very different cultures, Top of the Morgen! is a fascinating and riotous memoir of finding love and humour in a home very far from home.

Titch Cormack

War came to North Africa in June 1940. But it was over a year before a newly-formed SAS went into action. Until then, the fight belonged to an elite, top secret band of brothers called the Long Range Desert Group. 
 
They were Britain’s first special forces. 
 
Born out of a pre-war club of explorers, eccentrics and mavericks, the LRDG operated alone behind enemy lines, performing astonishing feats of navigation, endurance and survival, and paved the way for the SAS. 
 
Drawing on his own decade’s service with UK Special Forces, Titch Cormack brings to life the action-packed but little-known story of Britain’s original rogue heroes.

What if you could walk away from every conversation with exactly what you want? At work, at home, and in our daily interactions, our lives are full of constant negotiation—from trying to score a promotion to changing an airline flight to getting our spouse to take out the trash. But while we like to think we know how to get our way, too many of us struggle to capture what we know we deserve. 
 
In Never Settle, renowned negotiation experts Attia Qureshi and John Richardson move beyond the basic theory of persuasion to help you learn these invaluable skills to get more in every aspect of your life. Drawing from decades of experience teaching at elite institutions and incorporating insights they’ve culled from FBI negotiation tactics, they offer readers groundbreaking, actionable strategies to negotiate with confidence and achieve extraordinary results, no matter the circumstances. With easy-to-follow, habit-building exercises, this revolutionary guide reveals how you can build trust through reciprocity, get more through a strategic no, and craft win-win outcomes using creative problem-solving. 
 
Accessible and empowering, Never Settle equips you with the techniques you need to unlock the best deal, without settling for anything less.

But when tragedy touches the school, Alwynne begins to question Clare’s attentions. Sometimes, she thinks, her new friend can be cruel. 
 
Torn between a Clare she loves and a Clare she fears, Alwynne must decide between loyalty and independence – before Clare chooses for her . . .

Annie is on a journey straight back to her past. 
 
When the American Fantasy cruise ship sets sail for a four-day themed voyage, aboard are all five members of a famous 1990s boyband, and three thousand women who have worshipped them since their youth. 
 
Newly divorced and with an empty nest, Annie is on board as a lark to appease her sister. Once a diehard fan of the band as a teen, she now feels out of place amid the sea of bedazzling t-shirts bearing the singers’ faces. Yet when the lights go down, the cocktails are poured and the band starts singing, Annie finally reconnects to a long-submerged part of herself. 
 
As she encounters Keith, the band’s slightly depressed, fifty-something lead singer – not just a celebrity but someone clearly in need of a friend – she feels like anything is possible. 
 
But is the connection between Annie and Keith just a fantasy? Or is this the beginning of a new chapter for them both? 
 
Full of laugh-out-loud reflections on fame, nostalgia, marriage and growing up, American Fantasy celebrates the magic of revisiting our youth, and the even greater magic of starting anew.

DICK FRANCIS was one of the most successful post-war National Hunt jockeys and author of forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of short stories (Field of 13), the biography of Lester Piggott and his own autobiography (The Sport of Queens). He was rightly acclaimed as one of the greatest thriller writers in the world. 
 
 Since his death, his son FELIX FRANCIS has taken over the literary reigns from his father and Dick's legacy lives on through the Dick Francis novels. The Francis flair is clear for all to see in these national treasure thrillers, and readers will appreciate the sporadic reappearance of beloved series characters Sid Halley and Jeff Hinkley.
