Jock of the Bushveld is the classic and much-loved story based on the true experiences of Sir Percy Fitzpatrick and his Staffordshire bull terrier, Jock. The story begins in the 1880s, at the time of the South African gold rush, when young Fitzpatrick worked as an ox-wagon transport rider in the old Transvaal. There he came across a man who was in the process of drowning a puppy, the runt of the litter. He saved the dog and the story of his ever-faithful and loving companion was born.

Claire wasn’t looking for a different life. She already had one. Then a ticket showed up in her inbox. What followed wasn’t a plan. It wasn’t a fantasy. It was movement. Fast. Reckless. Undeniable. Las Vegas. Europe. A connection she couldn’t explain and couldn’t control. A life waiting back home. A choice she didn’t plan to make. This is not a story about what it all meant. It’s about what it felt like to live it. Just the moments as they happened,before the meaning settled. Based on a true story too wild to be fiction. The gamble wasn’t Vegas. It was him.

"I felt like killing myself." That's the sentence Paula Axelrod couldn't say out loud, until a poster taped to a dormitory wall gave her somewhere to go. What followed was twenty years of therapy spent unpacking a childhood ruled by an alcoholic father, a mother's own eating disorder, and a family that made love feel dangerous. It's the story of a miscarriage, a lost sense of self, and the slow, unglamorous work of finding her way back, through psychoanalysis, through painting, and eventually into a forty-year marriage and a son adopted from Romania. This isn't a polished self help book.

In July of 1993 a particularly heavy monsoon drenched the foothills of the Himalayas, and extended even into the ‘rainshadow’ – the area beyond the lush hills and into the drier mountains. Roads collapsed into rivers, new lakes formed behind landslides, and people generally got wet! A little band of motor-bikers rode up into that weather and that wild country, and met with delays, discomforts, and… well... relationship troubles! This is the diary of the girlfriend of the ‘leader of the pack’, as she suffers, and bounces on the bike, and gasps for air at high altitudes...

What happens after everything ends? On a heavy Chicago afternoon in June, with the world locked away by COVID quarantines, Gunnar Branson stood alone outside a garage. He watched his wife, college-aged daughter, and two cats drive away. A thirty-year marriage ended as he stood in the alley. Dark thunderheads loomed overhead, alternating with bursts of hot sun. A light breeze fluttered the linden tree. Story over. But maybe not. There are answers to be found in the past. This is the story of a boy growing up in Alaska and an older man waking up to the best part of his life.
