Sometimes the best letters are the ones that go unansweredIt begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person - any dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain - he died young, and so did Laurel's sister May - so maybe he'll understand a bit of what Laurel is going through. Soon Laurel is writing letters to lots of dead people - Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amelia Earhart... it's like she can't stop. And she'd certainly never dream of handing them in to her teacher. She writes about what it's like going to a new high school, meeting new friends, falling in love for the first time - and how her family has shattered since May died.But much as Laurel might find writing the letters cathartic, she can't keep real life out forever. The ghosts of her past won't be contained between the lines of a page, and she will have to come to terms with growing up, the agony of losing a beloved sister, and the realisation that only you can shape your destiny.

This book provides a compelling overview of how stained glass can play a significant role in our visual culture and heritage. While the closure of traditional church buildings has endangered the future of this well-loved discipline, throughout the centuries, stained glass has had a capacity to adapt, with its unique ability to use colour and light to uplift our senses. The conservation of historic windows and creation of contemporary work at Barley Studio over the last 50 years provides an ideal platform to examine stained glass today, with insights from the authors’ personal experience as designers, conservators, and educators. The book begins by examining Barley Studios conservation and restoration work, focusing on the unique schemes of medieval windows at St Nicholas Church, Stanford-on-Avon, Northamptonshire and St Mary’s Church, Fairford, Gloucestershire. It then considers Helen Whittaker’s work, demonstrating the variety of techniques used to engage a contemporary audience. It discusses the key design factors that stimulate her creative approach and reflects on the connections between traditional and contemporary stained glass. The range of perspectives presented within this book draws attention to and celebrates the power of this unique art-form and reveals how it can reflect changes in popular tastes and trends.

Award-winning author Carrie Vaughn’s sequel to The Naturalist Society follows a young scientist unlocking her magical abilities amid a high-seas adventure filled with international intrigue. The year is 1902, and the world is changing with the new century. Twenty-one-year-old Ava Stanley, the daughter of two celebrated Arcane Taxonomists, has much to live up to—however scarce her magical abilities may be. While her parents draw power from spectacular birds and megafauna, Ava’s connection to the natural world is much smaller, stemming from the microscopic. This is useful in her quest to become a doctor, as she studies the burgeoning links between bacteria and disease, but it means Ava’s power itself is also smaller. Even so, she plans to make the most of it when she boards a ship to Nassau, where she’ll continue her research. But those plans change when pirates take over the ship, bringing with them danger, mystery, and the stirrings of war. Amid the chaos, Ava forges connections with her fellow travelers. And in them, she begins to find that every tiny piece of the world has the power to strengthen it…or shatter it completely.

The truth of the physical torment she was put through slowly emerges, and as Donna grows to trust Cathy she tells her how her mother used to make her wash herself with wire wool so that she could get rid of her skin colour as her mother was so ashamed that Donna was ...

Here, together for the first time, the shorter works of New York Times bestselling fantasy author Anne Bishop are included in one dazzling volume. A master of bringing fantasy worlds to life, this collection showcases Bishop''s impressive range, from rarities of her earliest writing to the Realms of the Blood, from darker fairytale retellings to the Landscapes of Ephemera, and from standalone stories of space exploration and fantastical creatures to the contemporary fantasy terrain of the World of the Others. Includes previously published and unpublished tales, as well as two brand-new stories, written especially for this collection: ''Friends and Corpses,'' a murder mystery in which the corpse has some decidedly unusual qualities, and ''Home for the Howlidays,'' a heartwarming return to the Blood Prophet Meg Corbyn and the shapeshifting Simon Wolfgard from The Others.
