The Arms of Death

Murder with a Scottish Slàinte

By: Maggie Foster

An ICU nurse unable to save one of her patients finds herself far too close to finding out why in this unique blend of culture and crime from a Best of Texas Books Award-winning author. Book One in the Loch Lonach Mystery Series Ginny Forbes is a nurse with an insatiable curiosity, a special talent for critical thinking, and a gift for getting into trouble. When one of her ICU patients dies unexpectedly, she finds herself on the trail of a centuries-old secret. Ginny is no stranger to investigation. Her hobby requires ferreting out and fitting together the traces of her ancestors, to create a mosaic of their lives. She knows how to dig and she knows how to read between the lines. When a handsome newcomer offers to help, she allows him to tag along, but reports back on his actions to her long-time boyfriend, also an historian and genealogist. Following the clues seems no more than a lark, but between the cause of death and the growing jealousy of her two helpers, Ginny is about to find out just how dangerous idle curiosity can be. A page-turning mystery packed with suspense perfect for fans of Miss Marple, Lord Peter Wimsey, and Brother Cadfael. Read what people are saying about The Arms of Death “I loved this book. As an avid mystery fan, I’m pretty particular about my authors. Maggie had me by page four, and it was a page turner from there.

I look forward to book two of the series.” Amazon Reader, Sally S. “A jolly romp with a strong mystery and excellent characterisation.

The Ghillie Knot

Murder with a Scottish Slàinte

By: Maggie Foster

Ginny Mackenzie's red hair is unusual in the general population, but not among the Scots. Her long braid is also not that uncommon. Lots of women have long hair. Combined, though, she falls into a small subset of women with long red braids—and it just may get her killed.

The Swick and the Dead

Murder with a Scottish Slàinte

By: Maggie Foster

An ICU nurse finds the body of a murdered colleague in a setting that points to an inside job in this masterfully plotted second novel by newcomer Maggie Foster Book Two in the Loch Lonach Mystery Series No one noticed until the end of the shift that one of the nurses was missing; they were all too busy. Although officially among the suspects, amateur sleuth Ginny Forbes agrees to assist the police in their investigation. Drugs and drug runners are part of the landscape in the healthcare industry in Texas and Ginny is not surprised to find nurses, even some she knows, on the front lines of the conflict. Her probing brings her to the attention of the shadowy figure behind the pipeline of death running from south of the border to her home on the banks of Loch Lonach. This puts Ginny squarely in the line of fire, but she is not the sort to shy away from a challenge. Enter the gallóglaigh, a Scottish mercenary hired by the Laird of Loch Lonach to act as bodyguard to Ginny. She slips out behind his back and ends up walking into a trap of her own making. Stripped of all but her brain and hands, can Ginny escape the armed guards? Or will she, too, disappear, adding one more to the growing number of nursing vacancies? The intriguing plot and escalating tension will keep readers turning pages long after lights out. Perfect for fans of Dick Francis and Janet Evanovich. Read what people are saying about The Swick and the Dead “This is the second installment of the Loch Lonach series by this extremely talented and creative writer. The storyline has interconnecting plots that revolve around the current events of today in Texas: illegal refugees, drug cartels, nursing shortages. I was once again charmed with the Scottish customs and language. The ending is one of those where you have to remind yourself to breathe.” Amazon Reader, Sally S. “True to murder mystery tradition, a body is discovered in the first chapter by the amateur detective who will solve the mystery and uncover the murderer. The story is especially intriguing in that the pool of suspects is relatively small. One expects the truth should be easy to ferret out. One would be wrong.” MJF Amazon Reader “Talk about bang for the buck! The story weaves back and forth on itself like a Book of Kells capital letter. Rich with detail, infused with passion, driven by honor, the characters take on the tasks assigned to them by fate and deliver on the promise. The manifest evil at the back of the murder is not vanquished entirely, but the protagonists live to fight another day. Which is just as well because I want another book.” Clio B. Amazon Reader “It's always refreshing to read a twist I didn't see coming. The strong opening chapter hooks the reader, successfully foreshadowing coming events. I appreciated the inclusion of current social issues, which gives the book a sense of greater importance. The entertaining three-dimensional characters and interesting plot make this story shine.” Judge, 27th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards “A cleverly plotted murder/mystery, perfect for fans of Midsummer Murders.” The Wishing Shelf Book Awards “This felt really different. I love that the author put so many clever twists in it. A fun read!” UK reader “It’s the Scottish elements I enjoyed the most. I’m not a big mystery/thriller fan but this is not bad at all. Plenty happening and a strong, interesting protagonist to follow.” UK reader “This author knows her red herrings. An enjoyable read.” UK reader “A twisting, turning plot. This is a solid whodunit [with] a satisfying ending. I enjoyed this. Loved the cover too!” UK reader

Viking Vengeance

Murder with a Scottish Slàinte

By: Maggie Foster

Alone, in February, in New England, ICU nurse Ginny Forbes must find a way to get a fugitive across the U.S.-Canadian border or forfeit her career, her freedom, and maybe even her life in this captivating third novel by Maggie Foster. Book Three in the Loch Lonach Mystery Series When one of the Homesteaders takes revenge on the drunk driver who killed his family, he hides the body in the Viking ship set to be burned during the annual Up-Helly-Aa, expecting the evidence to disappear into the depths of Loch Lonach. Mother Nature decrees otherwise. Brought before the clan to answer for his crimes, Charles Monroe chooses exile, and the Laird assigns Ginny Forbes and Jim Mackenzie to escort him across the Canadian border. The trip does not go well. Hijacked by an escaped convict, wrecked on the highway in a snow storm, and menaced by hungry gray wolves (among other things), Jim and Ginny find their paths repeatedly barred. When the Dallas detective assigned to the case catches up with Jim, Ginny must struggle on alone. Unable to escape the tightening police cordon, Charlie sacrifices himself to save a boy in danger of drowning in the icy depths of the Bay of Fundy, leaving Ginny to face the authorities. A cross-country thriller with plenty of twists and turns and a climax that challenges the disconnect between law and justice. Read what people are saying about Viking Vengeance “What a ride! From one exciting event to the next, these characters really attract trouble! The one-legged race description is a hoot. And what hilarious competition-level names. The handling of a moral dilemma is admirable. I enjoyed all the adventure's details, most of which I did not see coming. This story was a trip I thoroughly enjoyed. Well done!” Judge, 27th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards. “Pulls the readers into the story and keeps them engaged . . . masterfully woven.” Amazon Reader, Barbara B. “The books are wonderful to read! I truly enjoy them. Keep them coming!” Amazon Reader, Susan G. “From the smoldering ruins of a Viking death to the triumphant redemption of a man lost, then found, the story transports the reader from one delight to another.” Amazon Reader, MJF. “A solid thriller filled with charismatic characters. Highly recommended.” The Wishing Shelf Book Awards “A thoroughly satisfying read. Fantastic to curl up with.” UK Reader “There is a light humour throughout the book from the two protagonist, which keeps the reader interested in them and, of course, rooting for them. If there’s another book coming out, I will happily read it,” UK Reader “Viking Vengeance is compelling, enjoyable, and satisfying. Recommended! 4 Thumbs Up!” Amazon Reader, Bev M.

Ginny Mackenzie is thrust back into the role of clan investigator when the matriarch of a prominent Loch Lonach family dies, bequeathing her considerable resources to a man determined to destroy the Scots’ way of life.

Final Fling

Murder with a Scottish Slàinte

By: Maggie Foster

When the wicked witch of the competitive Highland Dance world is found down on the Scottish Games athletic field, her skull crushed by a caber, it seems clear that someone wanted her very dead. Book Four in the Loch Lonach Mystery Series ICU nurse Ginny Forbes is not inclined to divert time from the preparations for her wedding to investigate yet another suspicious death. But when the police decide her Maid of Honor is the prime suspect, Ginny vows to do whatever is necessary to clear her friend's name, including a flying trip to New Orleans to collect evidence. Caught in the act, Ginny is captured, hauled off to an alligator farm, and incorporated into an ancient and thoroughly illegal voodoo ceremony. With no way to call for help and no one who knows where she is, it's a race against time with Ginny's wedding—and her life—hanging in the balance. A riveting mystery amply supplied with red herrings and spiced with surprises. If you like Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, and Ellis Peters, you’ll feel right at home in this highly entertaining fourth book by Maggie Foster. Read what people are saying about Final Fling FIVE STAR REVIEW – Foster breathes new life into the cozy genre with a suspenseful and clever murder mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. Unlike any cozy mystery you've read, Maggie Foster has created a world that will make you want to join the town of Loch Lonach and be part of the community. Final Fling is a must-read and a must-have for every mystery reader as it possesses true originality and an upbeat spirit with Scottish charm, a suspenseful murder mystery, and a unique world view. Readers' Favorite, Liz Konkel "I absolutely love the setting for this piece! You have nailed it." Judge, Writers League of Texas, Manuscript Contest “Final Fling is the fourth in a series, but don't let that stop you. The plotting and characterizations are masterful. The pace is perfect. I never saw the end coming! One thing I can promise, if you haven't read the others, you'll want to after reading this one!” Amazon Reader, Kim S. “For anybody who loves a good mystery, I HIGHLY recommend this series and this book in particular! The concept in this book is my favorite so far! BONUS FUN-There is an element in here that seems completely implausible but is based on a true story.” Mary H., Librarian “Rich in detail, satisfyingly rife with misdirection, and offers a complete secondary story line for the red herrings. There is no problem understanding why each of the not-guilty might wish to put the victim out of everyone’s misery. A new twist is that, in this novel, all of the active red herrings (and there is one who qualifies as passive) think they might actually be guilty. My advice? Read Final Fling, then write Maggie and demand she get busy on the next book!” Amazon Reader, Clio B.

Dantean Dialogues

Engaging with the Legacy of Amilcare Iannucci

By: Maggie Kilgour,Elena Lombardi

Dantean Dialogues is a collection of essays by some of the world's most outstanding Dante scholars., These essays enter into conversation with the main themes of the scholarship of Amilcare Iannucci (d. 2007), one of the leading researchers on Dante of his generation and arguably Canada's finest scholar of the Italian poet. The essays focus on the major themes of Iannucci's work, including the development of Dante's early poetry, Dante's relation to classical and biblical sources, and Dante's reception. The contributors cover crucial aspects of Dante's work, from the authority of the New Life to the novelty of his early poetry, to key episodes in the Comedy, to the poem's afterlife. Together, the essays show how Iannucci's reading of central cruxes in Dante's texts continues to inspire Dante studies - a testament to his continuing influence and profound intellectual legacy.

Better Faster Farther

How Running Changed Everything We Know About Women

By: Maggie Mertens

“From foot-binding to corsets, patriarchal societies have found ways to immobilize women, but now, marathoners and Olympians are proving that women can run like the wind!” —GLORIA STEINEM "A look behind the curtain that all women who love running and sport should read.” —KARA GOUCHER, Olympic runner and New York Times-bestselling author of The Longest Race More than a century ago, a woman ran in the very first modern Olympic marathon. She just did it without permission. Award-winning journalist Maggie Mertens uncovers the story of how women broke into competitive running and how they are getting faster and fiercer every day—and changing our understanding of what is possible as they go. Despite women proving their abilities on the track time and again, men in the medical establishment, media, and athletic associations have fought to keep women (or at least white women) fragile—and sometimes literally tried to push them out of the race (see Kathrine Switzer, Boston Marathon, 1967). Yet before there were running shoes for women, they ran barefoot or in nursing shoes. They ran without sports bras, which weren’t invented until 1977, or disguised as men. They faced down doctors who put them on bed rest and newspaper reports that said women collapsed if they ran a mere eight hundred meters, just two laps around the track. Still today, women face relentless attention to their bodies: Is she too strong, too masculine? Is she even really a woman? Mertens transports us from that first boundary-breaking marathon in Greece, 1896, to the earliest “official” women’s races of the twentieth century to today’s most intense ultramarathons, in which women are setting all-out records, even against men. For readers of Good and Mad, Born to Run, and Fly Girls, Better Faster Farther takes us inside the lives and the victories of the women who have redefined society’s image of strength and power. "An essential read to normalize women's existence, excellence, and humanity within the sport of running.” —ALISON MARIELLA DÉSIR

Reversing Chronic Pain

A 10-Point All-Natural Plan for Lasting Relief

By: Maggie Phillips

Reversing Chronic Pain offers a dynamic framework for joining body and mind to speed the healing of traumatic pain from the body level up. Each chapter presents a body-centered skill set that can be mastered through a broad menu of practice exercises. The resulting interlinked somatic building blocks help readers shift from physical pain to body awareness, and from unstoppable suffering to heartfelt connection and peace. Building on the AIDS cocktail approach that reflects the fact that chronic pain is complex and no one tactic is likely to solve the problem, renowned expert Maggie Phillips presents a 10-1 pain plan comprised of easy strategies based on somatic experience. Even if the reader’s pain is perceived as a “10” at the onset of the program, with 10 being intolerable, the somatic building blocks help shift the pain one point at a time until it gradually diminishes to “1” or even “zero.” Showing how the common professional interventions—medication, physical therapy, acupuncture, biofeedback—may be more harmful than healing, Reversing Chronic Pain stresses self-treatment throughout, involving sufferers in attaining lives not simply endured but actively enjoyed.

Like Love: Essays and Conversations

By: Maggie Nelson

One of the Globe and Mail's most anticipated books of 2024 A career-spanning collection of inspiring, revelrous essays about art and artists. Like Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelson’s brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes, and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelson’s passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide—from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Matthew Barney to Lhasa de Sela to Kara Walker—but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion, transgression, and perversity; the roles of the critic and of language in relation to visual and performance arts; forces that feed or impede certain bodies and creators; and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making. Arranged chronologically, Like Love shows the writing, thinking, feeling, reading, looking, and conversing that occupied Nelson while writing iconic books such as Bluets and The Argonauts. As such, it is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelson’s own development, and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists.

A Novel

By: Maggie Leffler

This charming and accomplished novel chronicles a young doctor’s journey to heal her own heart–in a tale that will resonate with every woman who has ever tried to make a new start. Dr. Holly Campbell is trying to outrun the symptoms of her life: her grief over her mother’s recent death, her chronic missteps at love, and, most of all, the doubts she’s had about her career since she started resenting her patients for being sick. So answering an ad for a residency program in rural England seems like the perfect escape. By leaving home, Holly is following in her mother’s footsteps. But while her mother fled to medical school on Grenada, Holly has come to an odd little English hospital–where fate intervenes. For Holly no sooner learns that practicing medicine in England is like driving on the wrong side of the road than her twin brother’s runaway fiancée shows up on her doorstep, her grade-school crush turns up in her dormitory, and her mother’s old lover appears at lunch. How can Holly cure their ailments if she can’t even diagnose her own? Filled with the heartbreaking and healing powers of love, The Diagnosis of Love is the witty, warm, perceptive tale of a young doctor colliding with the past–and choosing her own future.
