Why are boys like buses? None for years, then three turn up at once. Like a game show contestant, Liv has to choose between them. Terry seems shy and afraid, but on the stage or on ice skates he morphs into a virile, leading man. But is he man enough to cope with Liv’s dynamic personality and ever-present snark?Nothing could be more romantic than a rose and sonnet from a secret admirer, and the Shakespeare-quoting, super-smooth waiter seems the obvious candidate. But Liv discovers the charming James hides a shady past. Danger and excitement lurk behind this door as her infatuation turns to suspicion. Drop-dead-gorgeous Ray ticks most of Liv’s boxes. His wheelchair might stop him from doing the Argentine Tango, but so far no boy will indulge her passion for dancing. The universe conspires to keep him away from her; why else would she black out each time he kisses her? Trouble is, she can’t ask the audience and, when she phones a friend, he tells her things she really doesn’t want to hear. The prize in this contest? Her sanity, her memory and her heart.Described as a pitch-perfect blend of drama and romance for fans of 10 Things I Hate About You and Glee, these young adult stories are snappy, eclectic and edgy. An enjoyable read which will appeal to anyone with a sense of humour and an ear for the ironic.Dealing with issues of self-image and peer abuse, this well-written, intriguing series shares many elements with 13 Reasons Why as the complex characters grapple with issues such as sexuality, bullying and misread signals. It gives a convincing depiction of mercurial teenage relationships and that dreadful sense of hope and fear combined around transforming friendships into relationships when you don't quite dare take the plunge in case your feelings aren't reciprocated.

Action-packed adventure with oodles of humour and a dash of romance for fans of A Knight's Tale, Robin Hood and Merlin.The first two Hengist books feature Archer - a warrior out of time and place.Book #1 - Archer, follows his adventures in his own world, where he must fight - against his enemies, his friends and even the girl he loves in order to prevail.Book #2 - Rory, sees him travelling to a forign world filled with marvels such as chocolate, cars and computers, none of which exist in his own, quasi-medieval homeworld. The challenges are very similar as he meets a raft of lads - and even a girl - who want nothing more than to take him down. Extra - Bad Lads, sees three of the thugs Archer encountered along the way grabbing the mic and telling their own tales.Edlyn's Evil Scheme gives a totally different viewpoint of our hero, Archer, showing that he's not the flawless hero some people believe him to be.Jack Jumps Hoops provides an insight into how circumstances can conspire to destroy a lad's sense of worth when his only survival option is class-clown cowardice.Pete's Perpetual Predicament shows how even the most devoted of sons can be reduced to anything but heroic when the only person on his side is his mum.The rest of the Hengist lads get their say in the next volume - Uniting the Tribes. This features tales from Reagan, Slater and Geraint, culminating in the Seige of Oxford. Along with extra teles where two of the good guys, Tamas and Fletch take a turn at the mic.Prior to this, find out how this Medieval-alternate-world came into being by reading the Nature's Tribe stories - Call the Midwife meets Poldark meets The Good Witch.

Stick his neck out to save the so-called friends who betrayed him? Would you?Archer’s reward for being the most worthy student in his graduating class is to lose his home and all his friends.Sent from his tranquil, medieval life to aggressive, modern-day England, Archer’s mission is to report back about cars, computers and even chocolate. The other foster boys try to break his spirit by threatening him with his own bow – they have no idea they are dealing with a trained warrior. He teaches them honour, integrity and archery; they teach him how to get in trouble with the authorities.Forced to move foster homes, things go downhill as pink-haired Mandy takes a fancy to his athletic body - his warrior defences are useless against her obnoxious wiles. She seems determined to drag Archer into the shady world of Stiff and his gang of teenage shoplifters.This swashbuckling time-travel adventure will appeal to fans of archery, heroic underdogs who win out, and plenty of (British) humour.Interview with the Author:Q. What’s this about a prequel series?A. I’m so excited about this. Called Nature’s tribe, these stories go right back to 14th Century England, when plagues and witch-hunts meant it was not a great time to be a midwife. Especially one using the magic of herbs and earth energy in her healing. But Senna is no ordinary woman, and when she befriends cousins Jarl and Lyran, something magical is set in place which has far-reaching ramifications. The books so far are:#1 - Three Handfastings and a Burial #2 - Twelve Days of Yule #3 - Eight Sabbats of the Sun New for February 2019! But there are at least 3 more in the pipeline. Guess I know what 2019 is all about.Q. How do the Hengist stories fit together?A. It's a little different than many series, because each book features a different hero, allowing a glimpse into each of the main clans in this world.Archer, the Warrior, introduces us to a world where teens experience jousting, sword-fighting and Beltane rituals instead of mobile phones, social media and reality TV.Rory, the Anglecynn, is the only person who understands the way Archer thinks when he's sent to a different world on an information-gathering mission.Reagan, the Magi, has to solve a DaVinci-style puzzle to figure out what is causing the increasingly dangerous accidents threatening his village.Slater, the Outil, has more links to the magic rituals held at the henges than the stone-craft required to maintain them. Until he's torn back in time to watch them being built.Geraint, the Renegate, hates his father's patriarchal ideals about trials and suffering, and is grateful when Siany finally brings some female energy into his life. But their pre-ordained meeting has far-reaching ramifications when everything they know and love is threatened by darkest Evil.Q. So it's set in medieval times, then?A. Not exactly, although you may think so as the people ride in horse-drawn carriages, have no electricity, and are governed by the seasons. Like in Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones.Q. Do you need to have read all the previous stories to enjoy each one?A. No. Each story stands alone, however there are a couple of references back to characters/action from previous books, with sufficient explanation to get the sense of what's going on. Archer makes an appearance in every book, but this can be a brief cameo all the way to hogging several chapters in the last one as all the characters join together to defeat the common enemy.
