Book Description
It was suppose to be their honeymoon. Nick Stone - renowned pothead, trouble-maker, and all around Good Guy - accompanied by his mentally unstable and very pregnant wife Laurie, take a trip to Nick's birthplace - a tiny and forgotten little island called Arabella. Home to Spanish natives and retired Naval officers, Arabella is a hidden paradise to those who know of its existence. The mysteries start as soon as they step foot on the island. Nick finds Arabella is now under the rule of an oppressing dictator whose wife mysteriously vanished, hell-bent on keeping the people of the island in the Dark Ages. But he has his reason. Just about everyone on Arabella has their own secret. To each, it's a secret that could destroy their lives. And they'll do whatever necessary to keep Nick from finding out. Thirty miles off the coast, a secret militant force plans their move. Only one person knows who they are and why they're here. But no one knows their ultimate motive. They want the island.

Book Description
Grizzliness is out there. Every child has the makings of mischievousness, and can be lured into committing dastardly deeds. The six stories in each of the Grizzly Tales books show the rise and hard fall of vile and villainous children. We have completely reinvented Grizzly Tales for today's readers - ingenious concepts to link the separate stories, new design and illustrations, new accessible formats, but still capturing Jamie Rix's legendary brilliance for creating stories that linger in the mind long after the lights go out at night! The wicked children in the fourth book thought they'd take on Mother Nature, but as they learned to their eternal cost, she is not the sort of mother you can easily challenge!

How would you like to sit on the floor with your grandmother and listen to her tell stories again? Old stories that she made up just for you?

Many's Stories are just that, a grandmother's gift to her children, her grandchildren, and her great-children in hopes that they will never forget those special hours she shared with them so long ago.

Book Description
Arabella Mina Cordell is a young noblewoman of sixteen who only wants to live a simple life in a world that seems to be falling apart around her. For five years she has been living in Arminia and during this time her closest friends only know her as a commoner boy named Aram. She never meant any harm in her deception and as far as she was concerned she could live this simple life forever. That is at least until her best friend Lord Edmond Wallace accidentally falls in love with Arabella without realizing that she is also his best friend Aram. It seems that fate loves to be cruel and it keeps forcing her to cross paths with him as a girl. All that keeps him from discovering her secret are the masks she insists on wearing around him. She does all she can to dissuade him from falling in love with her because it could mean the end of the relationship she has held very dear as his closest friend. However despite her protests, she too finds herself falling in love with him. Worst yet, they both are facing arranged marriages to other people. Arabella desperately tries to keep her secret while still playing the roles of both a young noblewoman and a peasant boy. This story is the prequel to the Arminia Series and an adventure you don't want to miss. It is a series of stories about two kingdoms in a fictional world that are trying to find healing in joining together into one new kingdom. No matter how desperately the people long for it, love, war, hate, jealousy and greed keep the two from coming together. Come take the journey that spans across time in a world that is similar to our own medieval era.

Book Description
The eye of the traveller, however, on the London road, in tracing this stream farther up, came upon a clump of tall old trees disencumbered of all brushwood, spreading wide at the top, but ungarnished by boughs or green leaves below, and affording habitation to a multitude of busy rooks, whose inharmonious voices--when joined together in full chorus, and heard from a distance--formed a peculiar kind of melody, connecting itself with many memories in the hearts of almost every one, and rousing soft and pensive imaginations from its intimate connexion with those country scenes, and calm pleasures, amongst which must lie all man's sweetest associations. From the top of the hill on which we have placed ourselves, a number of chimney tops, somewhat quaint and fantastic in their forms, appeared to be actually rising from the very heart of the rookery; but if you stopped to let your horse drink at the stream in the bottom of the valley, and looked up its course to the left, you perceived that the house to which those chimneys belonged, lay at the distance of more than two hundred yards from the trees, and had a large garden with a long terrace, and a low wall between it and them. The mansion was of no great extent, as we have already hinted, and might belong to a gentleman of limited means, though moving in the better ranks of life; the windows were principally of that peculiar form which was first introduced under the Tudors, as the pointed arch of a preceding epoch began to bow itself down towards the straight line in which it was extinguished not long after. The whole building might have risen from the ground somewhat more than half a century before the period of which we now speak, perhaps in the reign of Mary Tudor, perhaps in that of her brother Edward; and yet I will not take upon myself to say that the bloody and ferocious monster, their father, might not have seen it as he travelled down into Cambridgeshire. The colouring, indeed, was of that soiled and sombre hue, which bespoke long acquaintance with the weather; and though originally the glowing red bricks might have shown as rubicund a face as any newly painted Dutch house at the side of a canal, they were now sobered down with age, and grey with the cankering hand of time. Although the garden was neatly kept, and somewhat prim, according to the fashion of the day, and a bowling-green just within the terrace was as trim and neatly shaved as if the scythe passed over it every morning, nevertheless about the building itself were some signs and symptoms of decay, the work of neglect, rather than of time. Instead of neat and orderly pointing, the brickwork displayed, in various places, many an unstopped joint; and though, doubtless, weather-tight within, the stone coping was here and there broken, while one or two of the chimneys, which were gathered into groups of four set angularly, displayed the want of a brick in various places, which destroyed their fair proportions, without perhaps affecting their soundness.
