In these new domestic reminiscences, Shirley Jackson carries on her tale of dubious parental equilibrium in the face of four children, assorted dogs and cats, and the uncounted heaps of small intrusive possessions which pile up in corners everywhere.Because of the increasing pressure of possessions, animals, and children, a bigger house is necessary to hold everything. The unending bewilderment of moving gives way to the healthy challenges of small repairs, new roofs, and bookcases, and the heady enthusiasms for horses, Little League, trumpet playing and magic.Shirley Jackson uses her great talent to picture the rich and varied day-to-day living of an unusual but not really so different American family.

Mel Jackson has transformed his memories of growing up in rural Ohio during the 1950’s and 60’s into emotional and entertaining narratives permeated with family dynamics. Runaway is a heartfelt, gripping account of a young boy’s longing for the love of his father and the long journey he took searching for it. The father was a hard working man but an alcoholic who found it hard to show his family the love they needed. The story travels many miles, over railroad trestles and through back country roads, encountering various characters, both family and strangers. It ultimately led the runaway to being institutionalized in the Columbus State Hospital. Sometime later, the boy, later a man, found himself reflecting on times lost at his father’s bittersweet funeral. It’s a story of love, hate and forgiveness.

General Sir Mike Jackson's illustrious career in the British Army has spanned almost 45 years and all that time he has shown loyalty, courage and commitment to the British army whilst also being an undeniable media attraction.A man of substance where foreign policy is concerned, he has served in theatres from the Artic to the jungle but is perhaps best known for his role in charge of the British troops to end ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, for assembling the British ground component of the coalition that toppled the Taliban, for equipping and organising the army we dispatched to defeat in Iraq and for re-organising the British army with aplomb. His drive, enthusiasm and dominating personality were always popular with his soldiers and drove him right to the top of his profession. He may have been a general but he never stopped caring about the men and women in his charge, despite the politics.Soldier: The Autobiography exhibits all the qualities for which Jackson is admired; his professionalism, his honesty, his directness, his exuberance and his sense of humour. Most of all it gives a vivid sense of what modern soldiering entails.

Drawn into an evermore dangerous series of confrontations with a gang of youths who seem determined to put an innocent man out of business, Sarah Tanner€™s own livelihood looks set for ruin into the bargain.But what links the persecution of a humble butcher with a certain Dr. Stead €” a leading practitioner of the strange art of mesmerism €” and a desperate plea from Sarah€™s former lover, the aristocrat Arthur De Salle? As Sarah Tanner investigates, she increasingly fears that the mesmerist, patronized by the highest society, is a charlatan and his latest patient, the unwitting victim of a grotesque fraud.To preserve a family€™s honour, Sar
