Between a Rock and a Hard Place

By: Vanessa Cane

In retrospect of my journey, I’ve come a long way, to stop now. Quitting life has never been an option for me. My survival and the survival of my siblings meant everything. Despite what we had to endure, we made it through. All together and in one piece. Our parents grew up and so did we. We all know Jehovah God now.

Sudden Loss, Slow Grieving

A Clinical Psychologist's Experience of Grief

By: Vanessa Moore

Vanessa's husband Paul dies suddenly and tragically on their regular Sunday morning swim. How will she cope with her dilapidated house, her teenage children, the patients who depend on her? Will therapy help? Why do mysterious white feathers start appearing in unexpected places? Beautifully written and honestly relayed, Vanessa uses her professional skills to explore the many questions posed by unanticipated death, and to try to find a way forwards. "This book is about a period of great loss in my life, a time when the tables were completely turned on me. I was a qualified therapist who suddenly found myself needing psychological therapy. I was a trained researcher who became my own research subject, as I tried to make sense of what was happening to me. I was an experienced manager who now struggled to manage the events taking place in my own life. Yet, throughout all this turmoil, my patients were always there, in the background, reminding me that there are many different ways to deal with loss and trauma and search for a way forwards."

Using Personal Judgement in Nursing and Healthcare

By: David Seedhouse,Vanessa Peutherer

What is personal judgement? How can it help me interpret and follow official guidelines? How can I use it successfully in my daily practice? Rules and codes for healthcare professionals continue to proliferate yet are unable to offer practical advice in specific circumstances. To help balance official rules with the variable, unique human element, David Seedhouse and Vanessa Peutherer explain what personal judgement is and how it can be applied routinely and effectively in everyday decision-making in healthcare. Through the use of over 40 interactive scenarios drawn from real-life practice, the authors encourage you to use a range of techniques to boost your personal judgement, introducing different models and approaches to decision-making and exploring their strengths as well as their limitations. The authors then talk you through their own suggestions for solving commonplace but challenging healthcare problems.

São Paulo Noir

By: Vanessa Barbara,Ilana Casoy

This anthology of noir fiction set in São Paulo, Brazil, “might be the strongest entry yet in the long-running and globe-spanning Akashic Noir series” (San Francisco Book Review). Once known as the Land of Mist, São Paulo is now a dense, diverse, and globalized metropolis. It is the most populous city in the Americas, the Portuguese-speaking world, and the southern hemisphere—with some of the worst traffic on the planet. From its gleaming skyscrapers to its historic downtown and its rough, drug-infested outskirts, this unique anthology explores a truly unique city with “a timely feel, giving noir a host of feminine faces” (Kirkus). São Paulo Noir includes fourteen brand-new stories by Tony Bellotto, Olivia Maia, Marcelino Freire, Beatriz Bracher & Maria S. Carvalhosa, Fernando Bonassi, Marcelo Rubens Paiva, Marçal Aquino, Jô Soares, Mario Prata, Ferréz, Vanessa Barbara, Ilana Casoy, and Drauzio Varella.

Ninety9

By: Vanessa Berry

In the 1990s, when music was recorded on cassettes and movies on VHS, Vanessa Berry was reacting to the loneliness of life in the suburbs by constructing imaginary worlds and identities from video hits, late-night music programs, band t-shirts, mixtapes and zines, and the ‘dark energy’ of the Goths. A memoir in essay form,Ninety9 is about the loneliness of adolescence, the importance of friendship, and the magical enclaves to be discovered in the city. Illustrated with the author’s drawings and photos, it provides a guide to the end of the millennium for those who were too young to be there, and vivid memories for those who were.

The American Queen

By: Vanessa Miller

In 1869 a kingdom rose in the South. And Louella was its queen. Over the twenty-four years she was enslaved on the Montgomery Plantation, Louella learned to feel one thing: hate. Hate for the man who sold her mother. Hate for the overseer who left her daddy to hang from a noose. Hate so powerful there’s no room in her heart for love, not even for the honorable Reverend William, whom she likes and respects enough to marry. But when William finally listens to Louella’s pleas and leads the formerly enslaved people off the plantation, Louella begins to replace her hate with hope. Hope that they will find a place where they can live free from fear. Hope that despite her many unanswered prayers, she can learn to trust for new miracles. Soon, William and Louella become the appointed king and queen of their self-proclaimed Kingdom of the Happy Land. And though they are still surrounded by opposition, they continue to share a message of joy and goodness—and fight for the freedom and dignity of all. Transformative and breathtakingly honest, The American Queen shares the unsung true history of a kingdom built as a refuge for the courageous people who dared to dream of a different way of life. Based on a true story Inspiring and thoughtful read Stand-alone novel Book length: approximately 102,000 words Includes discussion questions for book clubs

By: Vanessa Nakate

Leading climate justice activist Vanessa Nakate brings her fierce and fearless spirit to the biggest issue of our time. Nakate's mere presence has revealed rampant inequalities within the climate justice movement. While attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Nakate's image was cropped out of a photo by the Associated Press. The photo featured the four other activists, who were all white. It highlighted the call Nakate has been making all along: for both environmental and social justice on behalf of those who have been omitted from the climate discussion and who are now demanding to be heard.

The SSU Series Complete Box Set

By: Vanessa Kier

Immerse yourself in the adventure with six action-packed stories of conspiracy, betrayal, and revenge... Welcome to the world of The Surgical Strike Unit (SSU), a privately run special operations group. It was founded by Ryker, a Vietnam veteran, to handle the national security jobs that the government couldn't—or wouldn't—do. A government program attempted to turn men into superhuman soldiers and spies. Those who survived were barely human. Now key players want to revive the program. Join the operators of the SSU and the women they love on thrilling adventures as they work to stop a deadly, and unstable, army of superhuman soldiers from being unleashed on the world. The titles included in this volume include: VENGEANCE Niko Andros became a criminal to protect his family. He served his years in prison and now he’s earning redemption one mission at a time with a secret military strike force. He thought his family was safe, but when an old enemy resurfaces, his aunt is caught in the crossfire and he’ll do anything to save her. Double-crosses lurk around every corner. Niko’s boss has him playing babysitter for the whole team, including a brash, young female agent who’s only after vengeance and liable to get them all killed. New agent Jenna Paterson is too close to the mark and her traumatic past threatens to ruin everything, including the growing attraction between them. Niko knows all the training in the world won’t stop Jenna’s demons from getting the better of her, but he refuses to lose the woman he’s grown to love. But if she doesn’t stop her quest for vengeance and learn to trust Niko’s experience, Jenna’s life won’t be the only thing that’s lost. Niko’s heart is also in danger. UNDERCOVER (A PREQUEL NOVELLA not available for sale individually) In his quest for vengeance, he’s turned himself into a criminal... Undercover agent Niko Andros can’t let go of his anger over the hit that paralyzed his father. When the crime lord responsible, Jaime Alvarez, offers Niko a place in his organization, Niko accepts and dives into the criminal underworld. Niko plays the dutiful soldier, giving Alvarez the appearance of having turned away from his law-abiding family. Each sin Niko is forced to commit brings him closer to taking down his enemy and closer to the darkness he fears he’ll never escape. This short bonus novella is approximately 15,000 words. It takes place before Vengeance and gives the backstory between Niko and Alvarez. Unlike Vengeance, this novella is suspense only, with no romance. BETRAYAL An innocent woman is caught in the crosshairs of an international manhunt. Her only hope of escaping the jungle alive is the most wanted man on the planet. Accused of a murder he didn’t commit, Kai Paterson has been on the run for years, looking for the proof he needs to clear his name. In the process he’s become worse than some of the criminals he’s hunted. He’ll never outrun his nightmares or his guilt, but if he can save archeologist Susana Dias, maybe he can balance the scales and wash some of the blood from his hands. The government wants her for the same reason he needs her—she holds the key to his salvation and their downfall. The unlikely pair teams up and they race through the jungle staying only steps ahead of the mercenaries closing in on them. When the stakes rise even higher, Kai is forced to make a choice. Innocent lives or the life of the woman he loves. RETRIBUTION A shadowy government organization is about to unleash a secret weapon against an innocent population. Only one man can stop the destruction, but first he has to remember her… Rafe Andros had everything he wanted until a mission went horribly wrong. Now, he’s not just a prisoner, he’s the subject of a brutal experiment that’s slowly eroding everything that makes him human. He can’t remember much. The mental brainwashing makes him attack anyone he knew or loved in the past. Anyone except her… His only hope for salvation is Dr. Gabby Montague, a scientist tricked into working on a formula to turn soldiers into mindless killing machines. Rafe fights to break free of the mind control. Fights to find his way back to Gabby. Fights to survive the most dangerous mission of his life. If he doesn’t succeed, an army of superhuman soldiers will be unleashed. Thousands of innocents will die, and he’ll lose Gabby forever. PAYBACK A change of conscience leads a cold-hearted spy to risk his life for the woman he never thought he would want… Ruthless and arrogant, CIA agent Mark Tonelli has always been driven by two things. The need to avenge his father’s death, and the desire to protect his country at any cost. But when he joins the black ops group Kerberos, Mark discovers that there are some lines even he won’t cross. Kerberos is changing honorable men into mindless killing machines. Mark’s long-dead conscience roars back to life and he puts his vengeance on hold to save the woman he’s falling for, and her brother, before it’s too late. Faith Andrews has tracked her brother to the Kerberos group. The tenacious reporter never gives up. She proves to the I-only-work-alone CIA agent that he can’t do this without her. As Mark and Faith get closer to the proof they need to take down Kerberos, they also draw closer to each other. Mark finally learns the truth about who betrayed his father, but getting revenge means abandoning his goal of taking Kerberos down. Abandoning his promise to rescue Faith’s brother. And abandoning the woman he loves to the ruthless hunters who will kill to keep their secrets. AFTERMATH His job is keeping national secrets. Her job is to ferret them out. Ryker, head of the private security group that ended Kerberos, discovers that not all of the men responsible were brought to justice. Someone is trying to resurrect the program. They will do anything to keep their involvement a secret, including kill the reporter who wants answers Ryker’s not allowed to give. Investigative reporter Siobahn Murphy is chasing the hottest story of her life. Officials in the highest levels of government supported a secret program that kidnapped men and turned them into superhuman soldiers. Now those officials are attempting to cover their tracks and bury Siobahn with their secrets, but she won’t go down without a fight. As they race toward the truth together, Ryker finds himself falling for the sexy, headstrong reporter. When Siobahn is attacked, he has to make the choice to protect the woman he loves or protect his nation’s secrets. If you like gritty, edge-of-your-seat action, government conspiracies, and characters forced to confront the darkness within themselves, then you'll love Vanessa Kier's action-packed SSU romantic thriller series.

Gloryhill

By: Vanessa Hawkins

In a festering town like Gloryhill, where the sewage overflows into the streets and the dirty, disease-ridden underworld claws its way to the surface, the existence of vampires is a thinly veiled secret. The most oozing, decomposed of them all, Pachuco, spends his nights hunting prey and pretty human girls to suck down below the surface. It’s only when Charlotte, a beautiful, sensual vampire deputy, seeks his help in solving a mystery that he directs his attention to matters outside of blood, cigarettes, and female attentions. Charlotte, on the other hand, forty years after being bitten and transformed into the monster that she now sees herself as, is desperately trying to hold onto any shred of her humanity while relentlessly pursuing a killer who threatens the delicate place that vampires hold in a human-driven world. While the case is pulling her deeper into the belly of the rotting, putrid vampire world, she engages Pachuco to seek out her human former lover and fiancé. In a world that values sex above love, blood above loyalty, and death above all, will Charlotte’s dalliance with this devil bring her to the light . . . or just drag her further down into the darkness?

Secrets of a Fortune Cookie

A Memoir

By: Vanessa S. Yang

What constitutes a good parent, and when do they go too far? We often hear stereotypes associated with strict Asian parenting, and yet, although the accreditations on paper are known to many, still we find ourselves wondering, But at what costs? Secrets of a Fortune Cookie: A Memoir describes the harrowing journey of author Vanessa Yang, a young woman of Chinese descent, who was born in Singapore and educated in schools across the globe. She experienced a traditional Asian-style upbringing, with no consideration to social development. As a strictly raised Chinese Singaporean expatriate student in international schools, she was also influenced by her friends and peersand their Western ideals. Her mothers relentless Eastern upbringing, dominated by an isolated focus on academics alone, was not a productive fit to a teenagers growing desires to fit in and find encouragement and love. These disparate experiences and lifestyles were the seeds of her vicious teen rebellion against everything her parents honored, and it was these acts of defiance that ultimately climaxed her insecurities. Satirically funny and heartrending by turns, her story of independent self-discovery brings to light, the aptly pondered detriments of the causes and consequences of stereotypical Asian-style parenting. In the end, the clash of cultures she and her sisters faced drove her to resort to drastic measures in order to find the love and confidence she never received at home. A remarkable memoir with valuable life lessons, Secrets of a Fortune Cookie offers an inspiring look at a young womans turbulent past.

The BBC National Short Story Award 2022

By: Saba Sams,Kerry Andrew,Jenn Ashworth,Anna Bailey,Vanessa Onwuemezi

A woman, exhausted by work and motherhood, hires the services of a sinister firm that promises her a brand-new life… Journeying across America to make a claim to an inheritance, a man must confront the shame and bigotry that has haunted his family for generations… A picture-perfect holiday threatens to unravel as two daughters come to terms with the uneasy dynamic of their new blended family… The stories shortlisted for the 2022 BBC National Short Story Award with Cambridge University take readers on a journey through uncertain terrain: times and places at once familiar yet deeply unsettling. From the queer love story playing out against a desolate and disease-ravaged landscape, to a man’s earnest hunt for the killer of a boy who died in his arms, these stories are about outsiders, who seek safety and security in worlds that are chaotic, unfathomable, sometimes beautiful, and often brutal. AUTHORS: Saba Sams, Kerry Andrew, Jenn Ashworth, Anna Bailey and Vanessa Onwuemezi.

Flames of Desire

By: Vanessa Royall

From the author of The Passionate and the Proud, a saga of love and rebellion sweeping from the green hills of Scotland to the shores of colonial America. In eighteenth-century Scotland, Selena MacPherson is the proud princess of Coldstream Castle. She’s never met a man who doesn’t desire her, but she has yet to meet the man she desires in return. Royce Cambell is the fabled son of a ruthless Highland clan. He has fleets and warriors ready to do his bidding and his frightening legends glitter about him like a cloak. Royce is promised to Veronica Blakemore, a woman of fire and ice, but when he meets Selena at an Edinburgh ball, there is no denying the burning promise of ecstasy between them. But only in the new world, across raging seas, does that promise have the chance to be fulfilled. Set in the exhilarating time of the American Revolution, Flames of Desire is a rousing tale of pride, passion, and a love triangle that changes the course of three turbulent lives.
