There’s something sinister lurking in the waves… It’s 1921 in Widow’s Peak, a gloomy fishing village on the south coast of New South Wales.
Nineteen-year-old Missy Green fills her days helping her fisherman father on his trawler, and spending time with her grandfather, the town’s reclusive lighthouse keeper.
It’s a dreary existence.
Everything in her sea salt-soaked life is upended, though, when she glimpses something in the water – a mermaid ominously staring at her.
When Missy discovers the dead body of a woman washed up on shore, her disturbing hallucinations of the mermaid gather steam.
Missy must navigate the treacherous waters of her secret-filled town while attempting not to drown in the recesses of her mind, and the eyes of a handsome detective…

Theres more than one way to grow your business
By Sara Howard
There’s more than one way to grow a business. But too many small business owners get trapped in an overwhelming cycle of stress and lose sight of the reason they started working for themselves in the first place. Sara Howard wrote Beyond Solo to explore all the other paths to business growth, creating the guide she needed when she started her creative agency 18 years ago. Part memoir, part coach, and part how-to manual, this commercial non-fiction book guides readers through five different models for business growth It explores the most important decisions every owner should make before building their business model, including how they exit the business with tangible value. The book is packed with real-life insights and practical advice drawn from interviews with dozens of business founders and solopreneurs in Australia, the UK and US. People who’ve been there, experimented, made mistakes, and found a way of working that works for them. It goes behind the scenes on what it really takes to shift from being a solo operator to running a successful independent business. Beyond Solo is a must-read for anyone already running a small business, as well as freelancers, consultants, coaches, designers, health practitioners, and anyone in the business of trading their time for income. Ultimately, it answers a universal challenge: how do we get more from our work – more income, more freedom, more control, more opportunities to learn and grow – without adding more to our workload?

Tactile social history
By Lynn Setterington
Connecting Threads brings together twelve textile projects completed between 1981 and 2024. Each one acts as a social history document, providing tactile evidence of often untold stories of people on the margins, unexamined histories and overlooked places, all through stitch. The resulting work is both personal and political. It ranges from tiny colourful hand embroidered fragments recording everyday life in South London and Yorkshire, to monumental, site-specific banners made with construction workers in the north of England.
As a collection it describes the author’s life in stitch and details how an artist-embroiderer works and thinks creatively, how projects are managed and take shape and some of the hurdles encountered in socially engaged practice. The projects described in this book encompass themes of identity and belonging, health and wellbeing, sustainability, community cohesion and social inequality, offering sensory testaments of life today. Unusually, in a career that has garnered international recognition, Setterington remains modest, committed to the next collaboration, the sharing of textile languages, the rituals of ordinary life. Hand stitch remains at the heart of all this. As she notes: ‘Embroidery today is celebrated, practised and appreciated by people from all different backgrounds and walks of life, and its value as a connecting thread and vital accessible global communication tool is finally being recognised.’

Nowadays, many excellent poker books are available for players keen to improve their game. However, the vast majority are aimed at audiences that are already sophisticated in their understanding of poker. This book is different. Improve Your Poker - Now! is aimed at players who love poker and have moved beyond the introductory level, but who may be flummoxed by terms like GTO, ICM, merged ranges, and blocker effects. These players want a clear, straightforward guide that improves their game - now!
The authors, Topher Goggin and leading coach Alexander Fitzgerald, understand these needs and have crafted a book that is perfect for such players. There are no complex hand range charts to master, solvers are conspicuous only from their absence, and the advice is given in terms that are easy to understand.
This practical guide is everything you need to succeed now, without everything else you don't.
* Clear, concise language and straightforward instruction.
* Easy-to-implement strategies.
* Simple explanation of fundamental principles. Unlike elite players, who must study tirelessly to make even tiny improvements to their game, players at the "serious amateur" level can make tremendous skill leaps almost immediately. This book will help you to do precisely that.

1000 flash cards with words grouped and color coded by the most popular subject areas for travel and Spanish language study in high school, college, or learning through apps.
Studies prove that the physical tactile use of flash cards improves retention. Plus, the mental action taken using flash cards promote active recall in the attempt to remember a word from memory, checking your answer which engages metacognition in identifying weakness, then focusing your attention efficiently, leading to confidence-based repetition as you are rewarded each time you remember a word correctly. Words that give the user trouble can then be kept in their own stack until that stack is gone with all words retained. Adding a friend to show and reveal words then adds another layer of reward like playing a board game.
Our flash cards are the only set currently in print offering 1000 cards and at a price lower than 500 card decks. This will not last, so get them while you can.

By Prof. Robert Ed. Clancy, Dr. Melissa McCann
Key Sales Points:
* A powerful critique based full of carefully substantiated claims. * Many of the contributors highly regarded in their areas. * Contradicts orthodoxy on corona virus.
* Accuses highly respected agencies of malfeasance.
* Here immunologists, vaccinologists, medicos, a statistician and other experts reveal disturbing and undeniable truths about harm done by expensive, novel, unsafe, genetic vaccines, by bans against safe, effective low-cost treatments which would have saved lives and by punishments to silence dissenting doctors.
* It includes testimony of people deprived of their children, or themselves crippled, by the vaccines. Expert contributors point to a surge in adverse medical events in the wake of vaccination, and an upswing in excess deaths with no other explanation being ignored or denied by the TGA and other authorities.
Eminent scientists, analysts and medicos debunk the Covid doctrine which maximised multi-national drug company profits, at the expense of life and health. Careful yet scathing contributors demonstrate that Australian governments and health agencies pressured by the USA and WHO defied precautions to approve dangerous genetic vaccines; and with criminal penalties banned dissent and treatments that would have saved lives.

Best friends Cassie and Lina are excited to pet sit Tony the miniature pony. His owner, Dr Jim, has left them with instructions to keep Tony’s blanket on, or make sure he’s tied up firmly, as Tony sometimes gets himself into unusual places. While pet sitting Tony, the girls must also watch Lina’s little brother Timmy, while Lina’s mum does some important work from her home office. Mum’s instructions are clear: ‘No chaos! And no emergencies!’ and no unnecessary noise so the twins don’t wake up from their naps. It seems simple enough. But Gus thinks ponies are boring and while the girls are inside decorating Tony’s pony blanket, and Timmy is bouncing on the trampoline, Gus flicks the rope securing Tony’s halter to the fence accidentally setting Tony free.

After a fun morning of glittery craft, and with instructions from Cassie’s Dad to clean up the house for the rent inspection, Cassie and Lina are looking after Bella the bearded dragon. They learn that when Bella is cold, she won’t move at all; it’s when she warms up that she gets active. So, while they are getting the lights in her tank set up, the girls put Bella down, confident she won’t go anywhere. Despite the girls’ delight in Bella, Gus is unimpressed with the lizard. ‘She’s so ugly,’ he insists. ‘Cats are far better looking.’ He’s even more disgusted when she sneezes golden glitter all over him. At first, Cassie and Lina like the glitter Bella sneezes, but it soon seems as if Bella is allergic to Gus. Every time he comes close, she sneezes more glitter. It’s beginning to get messy.

Pet Sitters: Dress Ups
By Ella Shine, Lisa Flanagan
Cassie and Lina can’t wait to pet sit Winton the calm and placid goat. He’s got brown floppy ears and loves classical music. They’re even more excited when they find out Winton is going to star in a goat’s milk TV commercial–and they can dress up and take part! Gus, the grumpy talking cat, has his usual doubts about the day. Goats are boring, he says. And a TV commercial starring a goat is dull. It should be featuring a cat. The girls are not deterred by Gus’ complaints and head off with Winton to the film set created at the end of town. Everything goes well until Winton hears hip-hop music spilling from a window. Suddenly Winton is up on two hooves, busting hip-hop moves until the music stops and he returns to normal. Later, Winton starts line dancing to country music.

How to Stop the Fighting and Help Your Kids Connect
By Jonathan Caspi
"Be nice to your sister!" "Stop picking on your brother!" "That's a time-out for both of you." When nothing works to stop the incessant battles, what can exhaust parents do? Sibling expert and family therapist Jonathan Caspi offers research-based insights and highly practical advice in this supportive, compassionate guide. Clear principles, dos and don'ts, and loads of stories give readers a fresh understanding of why siblings fight and what to do about it. The book shines a spotlight on family dynamics. Dr. Caspi explains how to quell sibling struggles without taking sides, ways to make kids feel valued without comparing them, when to intervene (and when to step back), how to handle parenting-related couple conflicts, and ways to teach kids the crucial relationship skills they need.
A Mother's Science-Based Guide for Helping Girls Build a Healthy Body Im
By Janet Boseovski, Ashleigh H Gallagher
This book will help moms teach their 3 to 10-year-old daughters to value and respect their bodies from the start. Girls' body image begins to develop very early in life, and many girls show body image concerns by middle childhood. As the primary influence on how girls feel about their bodies, mothers are in an ideal position to support their daughters' healthy body image development. Research shows that when a mother has a healthy body image, her daughter is much more likely to value and respect her own body. In this book, psychologists Janet Boseovski and Ashleigh Gallagher begin by prompting readers to reflect on their relationships with their own bodies. Science-backed information and activities help facilitate reader insight into their own tendencies toward perfectionism and social comparison.
