South London, 2005, and Nikki Elliot has been spending the best part of a year living on the dole and developing a taste for daytime television. Finding her last boss's dead body had put her off having a job. But the government is cracking down on the unemployed, and Nikki's personal adviser at the Jobcentre has given her an ultimatum: go for the job at Action in Caring, a small charity, or lose your benefits. Things start to go badly wrong from Nikki's first day when her new boss dies at the management committee meeting. Was it an accident, or had someone spiked the sandwiches? And just how true were the rumours that the finance manager had an unhealthy liking for young boys? Or were the only things being fiddled by Gordon Smedley Action in Caring's accounts? Longlisted in the Mslexia First Novel Competition, 2012, this book keeps you turning pages and has you laughing out loud.

Poisoned Pens

By: Annie McDowall

Eight people sign up for a creative writing course at the tranquil Skye Creative Hub. But Tessa Birnie is dismayed to find that her teaching partner is Max Logan. Max is less than happy at having his style cramped by Tessa's presence. Marcus and Megan, manager and assistant at the Creative Hub, are each on their own retreat from shady pasts. They do their best to help the course to run smoothly; but as ever more strange events occur, chaos descends upon the group. As Pamela revels in being close to her literary idol, and Leon is confronted by his alter ego, Beryl and Jack discover that each has a secret agenda and is not all they seem. Leila, Tessa's agent's latest hot property, struggles with writer's block and Max's unwanted attentions. No-one knows what's happened to Anna after the first night, when there was much corridor creeping and a case of mistaken bedrooms. Is Malcolm the postie a kind and considerate young man, or does he harbour a malevolent side? Lives will change inexorably.

A New Zealand Book of Beasts

Animals in Our Culture, History and Everday Life

By: Annie Potts,Philip Armstrong,Deidre Brown

Touching on indigenous Maori relationships with the now-extinct, flightless moa; the attitudes of Pakeha, or European, settlers toward sheep; the iconography of whales and dolphins; the problems of pest-control; and the pleasures of pet-keeping, this modern-day bestiary is a fascinating study of human–animal relations. In the book’s four parts, the authors unravel the contradictory ways New Zealanders nurture and eradicate, glorify and demonize, cherish and devour, and describe and imagine animals. The study brings together insights from New Zealand’s arts and literature, popular culture, historiography, media, and everyday life to describe and analyze their interactions with nga kararehe and nga manu, the beasts and birds of the land. In doing so, it illuminates fundamental aspects of New Zealand society: how New Zealanders understand their own identities and those of others; how they regard, inhabit and make use of the natural world; and how they think about what they buy, eat, wear, watch, and read. Rich, multifaceted, and engaging, A New Zealand Book of Beasts satisfyingly explores how culture both shapes and is shaped by the “beasts” of Aotearoa.

Bargain Junkie

Living the Good Life on the Cheap

By: Annie Korzen

Forget fashionistas. Meet the bargainista. Annie Korzen is a thrifty woman with expensive tastes. Raised by an immigrant mother who reused tea bags, Annie learned early on how to be an economista. In Bargain Junkie, Korzen shares her hilarious tales from the trenches--the garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores, rummage sales, and online auctions. Korzen haggles, scrimps, saves, and stretches her dollars and her imagination so she can afford to travel, dress well, and eat out whenever possible. Whether she's getting a cardiovascular workout at the store, getting revenge on a yard sale con artist, or eating herself sick at the free green room buffet before appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Annie is the ultimate bargainista.
