“The engrossing first book of a series, Lost Seeds addresses various facets of historical racism and piques keen interest in the saga’s continuation.”—Clarion/Foreword Review
A novel chronicling the strained relationship between two brothers born into the remnants of their parents’ former enslavement. One brother seems to overcome, while the other descends further into adversity. What happens when they are forced to face each other?
Lost Seeds is the story of two brothers, Dublin and Timothy Brisco, born into poverty at the turn of the twentieth century to formerly enslaved parents. From birth, they witness firsthand the atrocities their parents had to endure and themselves experience the continued struggles of being Black in the South. Encounters with physical abuse, mental illness, and racism define the brothers’ lives, and despite their best efforts to survive, the seeds of slavery’s wickedness inevitably spawn and lead the two down separate paths. Dublin attempts to overcome his tragic past and hopes to elevate his place in life by escaping oppression and adapting to segregated societal life, while Timothy openly displays his wounds, attempts to reject his Black identity, and descends into a fog of mental illness. The two brothers never discuss their journeys, nor the lifetime of insecurity and violence they experienced, ultimately creating an impassable chasm in their relationship.
Eventually, at the request of their mother, Dublin reluctantly permits Timothy to live on his family’s land in a one-room windowless shack. Although they are once again united on the same property, their feelings of indifference and the distance between the two persist.
Will their relationship forever be lost to the traumas of their past, or will they be able to come together and be each other’s strength in the face of the cruelties of their world? Because no matter how much time or distance passes, the seeds of brotherhood never die.
There’s no getting away from the fact that we, as human beings, can be pretty strange! We frequently think, do and say things that, if we thought about them, we would quickly conclude are far from sensible. And then, even more remarkably, we do them again.
We’re highly agitated by harmless situations, hate looking at social media but can’t stop ourselves from peeking, believe in utterly bizarre conspiracy theories, always underestimate the time and cost of doing things, can’t resist a ‘bargain’, attribute our successes to skill and our failures to bad luck, give up on diets that we’re fully committed to at the first whiff of chocolate and so on.
This book explores the reasons behind our many fallibilities and peculiarities. It’s a fascinating insight into the curious ways our minds work in everyday situations. You’ll understand far more about yourselves and others as a result, while also discovering simple solutions to meaningful problems that can arise.
You can’t stay dead forever…
A group of high school students gather on the Isle of Skye’s remote Coral Beach for a hedonistic night of partying to celebrate the passing of their final exams. The new millennium is on the horizon and the future beckons, promising new hope and a fresh wind of optimism. In the coming days, many will leave the island for work or to study on the mainland, whereas others will remain on Skye and forge a more traditional path much as their families have done for centuries before them.
That is… all but one…
D.I. Duncan McAdam is dispatched home to the Misty Isle. A body has been found buried in a remote location on the Waternish peninsula. Well preserved in the peat, Isla Matheson – missing for the better part of two decades – is revealed to a shocked island community. A teenage runaway is dead… and no one is talking…
Joining a small team of detectives, Duncan is tasked with revisiting those who knew Isla, those who cared for her… and those with the potential to kill her… In a remote community well used to settling scores among themselves, will they trust one of their own when he asks questions or will they persevere with the façade of ignorance?
A Long Time Dead is the first book in the new Misty Isle series of crime thrillers from the Amazon #1 multi-million selling crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the author of the Hidden Norfolk and Dark Yorkshire books.

From the author of the bestseller A drive through time comes a high-tech thriller with a hint of Sci-Fi à la Stargate. Fans of Mr. Robot and Jack Reacher shouldn't miss this. Hacking. Secret agents. Alien AI. This book has it all.
A trio of diverse people comprised of Axel Anderson, a brilliant hacker with anxiety problems, Yasmine Karam, a jaded international thief with trust issues, and Jack Mitchell, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces colonel haunted by the loss of his squad, are hired by an inconspicuous mining company. They join a secretive ex-CIA operative, Ming Wen, in a globetrotting adventure to retrieve four precious artifacts from private collections.
Nothing goes according to plan, and soon they find themselves hunted by the London police, Turkish human traffickers, and rogue US government agents. Only with the help of an alien AI can the team stay out of the clutches of their pursuers.
The stakes sky-rocket when they find out the truth about the artifacts they were hired to steal. It's a revelation that goes far beyond anything they could have imagined. Access to advanced alien technology is on the wishlist of the most cunning and ruthless secret agencies from all over the world, and the team becomes their primary target.
Would the alien AI and a battered old spaceship that crash-landed on Earth be enough to help them survive?
Struggling to be an entrepreneur? Forget what you know. Success is not about how to win . . . It’s about how to lose.
With thousands of books and courses on entrepreneurship, why aren’t there more successful entrepreneurs? The answer is simple—we have been teaching it all wrong. In Winners and Losers, award-winning speaker Don Schmincke uses research from his many anthropological expeditions across the world, scientific data, and his experience training over thirty thousand CEOs to uncover the truth. Instead of looking at what successful entrepreneurs did right, Schmincke looks at what happened before their successes. What he found was that their paths were littered with mistakes, misguided assumptions, and major losses. Could the key to their successful entrepreneurship actually lie in their failures?
Unlike entrepreneurship books that focus on how to win, Schmincke deviates from the status quo and reveals that the real secret is in how to lose—powerfully. True success arises from the inevitable losses that come with risky ventures.
With a straightforward, humorous, and often politically incorrect approach, Winners and Losers offers anyone with entrepreneurial dreams unique management methods and scientific models to help build a framework for success.
Moments of despair birth real entrepreneurship. It’s time to embrace the loss.
A kick-ass female anti-hero spreads her wings, delivering justice for victimized girls and women.
She is an African-American survivor of a racially-charged childhood rape, who grows into a strikingly beautiful assassin. He is the Italian-American private eye with Mafia connections who loves her. Together, they take on serial killers, sex traffickers, kidnappers, child molesters, rapists, wife-beaters, predators and exploiters.
Along the way, women they’ve protected join them in their quest. Frustrated and threatened by a corrupt criminal justice system, though, the team is forced to work outside, and often against, the law.
When she finds herself pitted against a unit of the Haitian secret police, and he finds out why he is being framed for a series of murders, the stakes could not be higher.
THE FINAL SKULL HAS BEEN FOUND. NOW ALL HELL'S BREAKING LOOSE.
For two thousand years, the Triarii have protected us, influencing history from the Crusades to the discovery of America. Descending from the Roman Empire, they pervade every level of society, and are now in a race with our own government to retrieve an ancient artifact thought to have been lost forever.
Caught in the middle is Archaeology Professor James Acton, relentlessly hunted by the elite Delta Force, under orders to stop at nothing to possess what he has found, and the Triarii, equally determined to prevent the discovery from falling into the wrong hands.
With his students and friends dying around him, Acton flees to find the one person who might be able to help him, but little does he know he may actually be racing directly into the hands of an organization he knows nothing about.

Dead. With no plausible explanation as to how he got there.
To make matters worse, Hal was one of the kids bullying Andrew at school and just recently they had a fistfight. And Andrew has a reputation for being impulsive and quick to anger.
As much as she loves him, as much as she wants to believe he is innocent, Sarah has to admit that Andrew looks guilty.
But she knows one thing for sure – no matter what she has to do, what risks she has to take, she will do anything to protect her only son.
The Only Son – the stunning psychological thriller perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Kiersten Modglin.
