Jacinth Henry-Martin delivers a compelling series of poems in A Piece of My Mind. Composed with great zest and conviction, the book is a literary tribute to all who have succeeded in discarding physical , mental and emotional shackles to metaphorically dance and celebrate life in the face of all its challenges. The poems are liberating and vindicating, and paint pictures with words about all aspects of life.

Return to the zombie apocalypse wasteland that is the Rot & Ruin in this short story collection from Jonathan Maberry. Benny Imura’s zombie-infested adventures are well-chronicled in the gripping novels Rot & Ruin, Dust & Decay, Flesh & Bone, and Fire & Ash. But what else was happening while he was on his quest? Who were the others navigating the ravaged landscape full of zombies? Bits & Pieces fills in the gaps about what we know about First Night, surviving the plague, and traveling the land of Rot & Ruin. Eleven all-new short stories from Nix’s journal and eleven previously published stories, including “Dead & Gone” and “Tooth & Nail,” are now together and in print for the first time, along with the first-ever script for the Rot & Ruin comic books.

I was sexually abused as a young child and spent many years trying to remember and then trying to forget, while dealing with the aftermath. I struggled with relationships and intimacy, had multiple psychiatric ward stays, several different diagnoses, suicide attempts and periodic unprofessional psychiatric care. How could I become an authentic whole woman? I spent close to 30 years as a counselor facilitating both small and large groups. I also volunteered as a Peer Support Worker, both at the Canadian Mental Health Association at their Clubhouse and on the In-Patient Psychiatric Unit. For most of those years I was part of the "walking wounded." I came out to to Vancouver after college, and fell in love with the West Coast. From the age of 21 I never lived anywhere else. I currently live on scenic Vancouver Island with my tortoiseshell cat among my book shelves and piles of books.

Sir Frank Kermode has been writing peerless literary criticism for more than a half-century. Pieces of My Mind includes his own choice of his major essays since 1958, beginning with his extraordinary study of "Poet and Dancer Before Diaghilev" and ending with a marvelous consideration of Shakespeare's Othello and Verdi-Boito's Otello. Important essays on Hawthorne, on Wallace Stevens, on problems in literary theory and analysis, on Auden, on "Secrets and Narrative Sequence," and three previously unpublished essays (including one on "Memory" and one on "Forgetting") fill out this rich and rewarding volume. Pieces of My Mind also contains recent considerations of the work of major modern writers--Don DeLillo, Raymond Carver, Tom Paulin, and others. Of Kermode's last book, Shakespeare's Language, Richard Howard wrote that it was "a triumph of inauguration and the crowning action of his splendid career of criticism. It is, and will doubtless remain, the first book one should read about Shakespeare's plays, and with those plays." Pieces of My Mind has equal authority and power, and it will be equally praised.

Are you tired of living in a dystopian world and want an escape to something more magical and cheerful? Then take a journey into my ADHD mind and get ready to explore my world of words. I will take you on a roller-coaster adventure where you can learn to dream, laugh, and be touched by human emotions through every twist, turn, and connection of my brain. The contents of this book delve into philosophical principles, mysterious encounters in the world of romance, joyful pastimes, daring feats of inspirational bravery and strength, silliness, and interlocked oneness of what makes our biological makeup so much different from metallic, programmed robots. Here you will find comedy and tragedy combined with a satirical twist, bits of sarcastic pessimism, optimistic joy, and mush for the romantic in you, distant carelessness for authority, and classic tales of heroism with a unique rhyming technique much in the ways of a traditional style. Within these pages lies a plethora of poems, epic poetic stories, limericks, and self-expressive raps that reflect the power of imagination. They also infuse the introspection of the human race, regardless of diversity or background and encompasses the variety of emotions we feel. So whether you want to just relax, be inspired, or just fulfill the wanderlust in your soul, this is the book for you. Enjoy!
