Books with author Catherine Leary

Somewhere out there is a package. It was sent to sixteen-year-old Kai Layton by his father just before he vanished from Kai's life. But Kai isn’t the only one looking for it. There’s Aemer, an ethereal nut-job who turns up claiming to be Kai’s Otherworld Guardian, for one. And Reesha, a shape-shifting demon with her Otherworld army, for another. But the package is only the beginning of Kai’s problems. From the moment he learns of its existence, he has two hours to cross dimensions, learn the age-old traditions of the Dark World Warrior, and avert an enemy uprising. The only weapons he has include a barbeque lighter, a whistle and a spike. And if that’s not bad enough, the only person who can help him would rather see him dead.Jianjun Warriors is the first of a snappy and sometimes humorous series of Science Fiction/Fantasy books for Teens and Young Adults, set in Auckland, New Zealand, and one of its closer dimensions.

Excerpt from A Quaker Girl of NantucketIN Nantucket town, on one of the streets which is more properly restrained, more certain than others where it wants to go, stands a house more ample than its fellows, and farther back from the cobble-stone pavement, so as to give it a few feet of grass plot in front, when other houses stand flush upon the sidewalk. It is a drab house, well furnished with drab' shutters, inside and out, whereas most of the Nantucket houses have no shutters at all.These differences give it an honorable distino tion. It is a foregone concession that the people who live there are to be very highly regarded.Three generations of Swains had passed quiet lives under the roof of this exceptional dwelling, and the fourth was represented by one little girl, Miriam Swain, some twenty Odd years ago.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The living and the dead - there is something that binds them. For the living are endlessly fascinated by tales of the dead, whether they are about old ancestor whose ghost reputedly haunts an old ancestral home about to be torn down; a child never allowed to be born, whose little frightened call "Mummy! Mummy" fills his mother's dreams at night; an airline pilot whose ghost is forever condemned to roam the earth with that of his mistress for an unspeakably cruel suicide pact that plunges a hundred others to their deaths.In this collection of 14 short stories set in Singapore, Catherine Lim tells tales of the dead and their return, bringing readers on a journey of unease, excitement, trepidation and, above all, awe for the mystery that surrounds death.
