Book Description
The world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a "real man" is (and is not). Is a real man one who hunts, loves sports, grills meat, fixes cars, and climbs mountains? Sure, sometimes. But that's not really the point of being a man and it's not the purpose for which men were made. Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are made to be: "Keepers of the Garden." Protectors and defenders. He calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including "avid indoorsmen" like himself) to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have. Using short chapters loaded with must-have wisdom and Brant's signature humor, The Men We Need explains the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and entertaining way that will inspire any man who dares to read it.

**THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** "An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy." —Entertainment Weekly The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive. Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

Book Description
The world around the last of civilization has surrendered to global warming, leaving two groups of survivors: the wealthy Nobles in the north and impoverished Drainers in the south, all safely tucked inside the sealed domed city of Sai. After almost 300 years, the dome is all they've ever known and are content until they find out their powerful turbine generators are being sabotaged by someone—or something. In the midst of it all, Lilith Burgess, the beautiful 17-year-old daughter of the president of Sai, falls for a handsome young school janitor named Adam Cleary. Relationships between Nobles and Drainers are forbidden, but despite Lilith’s many attempts to stay away, there is an unmistakable draw to be near Adam. When their feelings for each other are realized, their secret love affair begins and they are determined to make sure nothing come between them. After Adam impossibly saves Lilith from falling off a second-floor balcony with his blur of blinding speed, she discovers he’s hiding something and is determined to uncover it. For months, he has been able to conceal his true identity, but the closer they get, the faster the secrets begin to unravel. When Lilith finally learns the truth, it’s more terrifying than she realized and is torn between love and fear. Adam would do anything to keep her safe, but how can she trust him—now that she knows that he himself—is the dome’s greatest threat?

Book Description
Quintus Aurelius has gone by many aliases over the passing centuries. Originating from ancient Rome now to over 2100 years later he's found home in a sleepy little beach town in New Zealand. It's 1986 and the world has changed a lot, being born totally deaf the road has been a hard one to live in with little communication with people over the passing centuries. Being totally estranged from his twin brother for the past millennium he has to cope with accidentally exposing himself as the vampire he is to a human, not just any human an employee that has been working for him for the last six years. With the immortals being a constant threat to vampires and their way of life, what happens when an immortal shows up who Quintus believed was dead from a time when he was still mortal. This book is written in New Zealand English and it is written more to the way New Zealanders speak, if you have never heard a kiwi speak the lingo in this book might not make sense to you. All of my books are written like this and I like to keep with my kiwi roots, in a sense it gives the characters each a character to them that they wouldn't have if they were American. I've based it at Kaiteriteri which is my most favourite beach in the world, it has a golden coarse sand that you don't see anywhere else with the clearest blue sea.
