Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Death was everywhere. They all stared at me, bumping into one another and slowly coming forward. Sixteen-year-old Zharie Young is absolutely certain her mother morphed into a zombie before her untimely death, but she can't seem to figure out why. Why her mother died, why her aunt doesn't want her around, why all her dreams seem suddenly, hopelessly out of reach. And why, ever since that day, she's been seeing zombies everywhere. Then Bo moves into her apartment building—tall, skateboard in hand, freckles like stars, and an undeniable charm. Z wants nothing to do with him, but when he transforms into a half zombie right before her eyes, something feels different. He contradicts everything she thought she knew about monsters, and she can't help but wonder if getting to know him might unlock the answers to her mother's death. As Zharie sifts through what's real and what's magic, she discovers a new truth about the world: Love can literally change you—for good or for dead. In this surrealist journey of grief, fear, and hope, Britney S. Lewis's debut novel explores love, zombies, and everything in between in an intoxicating amalgam of the real and the fantastic.

The Blue in the Air
Author: Marcello Carlin
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing

Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
A former widower whose life was saved by writing about music spends a year waiting for his new wife to fly over from Toronto and join him in London. While he waits he observes that the world is subtly changing and that music has played a key part in these changes. A galaxy of characters, ranging from Marty Wilde to Jay-Z via Glenn Gould, Dorothy Squires, Britney Spears, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Patrick Cargill, Orson Welles and many forgotten others, conspire to alter his perspective, leading to a climax where he is finally united with his wife and the world chooses a new and better leader. The Blue in the Air is a gesture of defiance from a tiny but meaningful tugboat of resistance. At a time when we are repeatedly encouraged for reasons of demographic convenience to believe that music can change nothing and mean nothing, this writer demonstrates comprehensively that for those who stay awake, alert and alive, music still retains the power to change the fabric of the air we choose to breathe.

Book Description
Britney: When I first met Jayden Robertson, he was just my best friend’s brother. I tried to keep my feelings hidden, but every time I was around him, they became more evident. I didn't want to just be his friend. I knew he felt the same way, but with basketball surrounding his life, I didn't want to interfere since going pro is his dream. Can I accept his lifestyle and what he stands for, or will I end up losing him before our relationship even begins? Jayden: Love is something I'd always wanted to experience, but I never had until I met Britney Lewis. She’s everything I want in a woman – smart, confident, and extremely beautiful. We'd always talked about a relationship but never actually pursued one. With basketball consuming my life 24/7, I didn't have time for anything else; but for Britney, I would make time. But there is something that has pained me for years that no one knows about. I knew I should let go, but that’s something I was finding hard to do. Will she be the one to help me through my struggles, or will I end up losing everything I’ve worked hard for, including my relationship with Britney?
