A mansion, a title and marriage to a wealthy Lord – Lady Eveline Cartwright has it all. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to prevent her being bludgeoned to death one night in the study of Merisham Lodge, the family’s country estate in Derbyshire. Suspicion quickly falls on her ne’er-do-well son, Peter, but not everyone in the household is convinced of his guilt. Head kitchen maid Joan Hart and lady’s maid, Verity Hunter, know that when it comes to a crime, all is not always as it seems. With suspicions and motives thick on the ground, Joan and Verity must use all the wit and courage they possess to expose a deadly murderer who will stop at nothing to achieve their aim…Murder at Merisham Lodge is the first in a new series of historical mysteries, Miss Hart and Miss Hunter Investigate, set in the 1930s. The author, Celina Grace, is the creator of the bestselling The Kate Redman Mysteries and The Asharton Manor Mysteries, as well as several standalone thrillers.Praise for Celina Grace by Amazon and Goodreads reviewers:"Thoroughly enjoyed this read. I've been waiting for this story since the first of the Asharton novellas was published and I am very glad to see more of Joan and Verity. I think they are a great mystery team. Smart and active, but in a believable way. You don't ever wonder how they could do what they do within the confines of their social roles and their "real" jobs are never thrown to the side.""Celina makes her characters someone you care about. I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes mysteries, especially period mysteries."" I love her writing style. This book does not disappoint. A great mix of mystery, humor and wonderful characters. All in a beautiful Manor. Very enjoyable read.""I have read the four Asharton Manor books and enjoyed them all, but the first story that introduced Joan and Verity was my favorite and I am so glad the author wrote another story with the two of them. This time period is very interesting to me and then to throw in a couple murders to solve makes it extra interesting. I hope to read more about Joan, Verity and ( maybe Inspector Marks ?) in future books."

“'Berlin, Bromley is fascinating, strangely poetic and compelling.”—Michael Bracewell, The Guardian Bertie Marshall’s memoir as “Berlin” in the notorious Bromley Contingent cuts to the core of the punk sensibility of 1976/77. Combining the outrageous zeitgeist with the lifestyle of scenester and rent boy, Marshall’s account bristles with a raw freshness and honesty. The Bromley Contingent included Siouxsie Sioux, Steve Severin, Billy Idol and Jordan. Marshall is the ideal narrator, taking in Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood’s Sex shop, the formation of the Sex Pistols and the gay netherworld of late 70s London. A post-glam, pre-punk version of The Naked Civil Servant.

Why haven’t you heard of this book? It's simple--because Scaredies Away is a self-published book and does not have the advertising budget that the big publishers have. The authors insisted on delivering Scaredies Away in a fun and entertaining way so that your kids would actually want to read the book thereby getting the help they need. The publishers would not publish this book as fiction/self-help book. They wanted another dry and boring self-help book. But as a previous teacher, therapist, and school psychologist this author and mother of two knew better. She knew kids learned better when they were entertained, when the content was put in simple terms and when the material was developmentally appropriate. The first week of launch Scaredies Away hit the #1 spot in its category on Amazon and has since received numerous five star reviews. Those dry how-to manuals are a dime a dozen. That’s what is different about this book—the kids LOVE it. Scaredies Away is such a very special and uniquely crafted book. It has become many children’s favorite bedtime book even when they are not anxious. While it was important for the authors to make sure your kids would be entertained –as parents too-they knew their primary goal was to help you help your child find comfort, hope and the freedom to just be a kid again. They know you just want your child to be OK again. They get it. They've been there too. This book was crafted with you and your child in mind- not the criteria of the big publishers.
