“The beginnings of something remarkable are there.”

From #1 bestseller Morgan Rice, author of A Quest of Heroes (over 1,300 five star reviews) comes a startlingly new fantasy series.


CROWN OF DRAGONS is book #5 in bestselling author Morgan Rice’s new epic fantasy series, Age of the Sorcerers, which begins with book #1 (THRONE OF DRAGONS), a #1 bestseller with dozens of five-star reviews—and a free download!


In CROWN OF DRAGONS (Age of the Sorcerers—Book Five), Ravin has finally taken complete control of the capital, crushing all those in his way and subjecting its citizens to slavery and brutality.


Yet not everyone is under Ravin’s thumb: Lenore, finally jolted out of her despondent state by the death of her mother, realizes it is time to step into her destiny. Instead of allowing herself to become Ravin’s plaything, she must, she realizes, summon an army to defeat him.


But can she?


Devin, meanwhile, is getting closer to completing the unfinished sword and being able to return to the capital in time to help save it. Will he?


But will none of it matter if Nerra rises up, and if her dragons destroy them all?


AGE OF THE SORCERERS weaves an epic sage of love, of passion, of sibling rivalry; of rogues and hidden treasure; of monks and warriors; of honor and glory, and of betrayal, fate and destiny. It is a tale you will not put down until the early hours, one that will transport you to another world and have you fall in in love with characters you will never forget. It appeals to all ages and genders.


Books #6-#8 are also available!


“A spirited fantasy ….Only the beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series.”

GEJAGT ist Band #5 in der Bestseller Riley Paige Krimi Serie, die mit dem #1 Bestseller VERSCHWUNDEN (Band 1) beginnt!

Ein Ausbruch aus einem Hochsicherheitsgefängnis. Hektische Anrufe vom FBI. Spezialagentin Riley Paiges schlimmster Albtraum ist Wirklichkeit geworden: ein Serienmörder, den sie vor Jahren hinter Gittern brachte, ist auf freiem Fuß.

Und sie ist sein größtes Ziel.

Riley ist es gewohnt, diejenige zu sein, die Verbrecher jagt, aber zum ersten Mal findet sie sich selbst - und ihre Familie - im Kreuzfeuer eines Jägers wieder. Während der Mörder sie verfolgt, beginnt er außerdem wahllos zu töten und Riley muss ihn stoppen, bevor es zu spät ist - für die anderen Opfer, und für sich selbst.

Aber er ist kein gewöhnlicher Mörder. Er ist zu clever, sein Katz-und-Maus-Spiel zu verdreht, und er schafft es immer wieder, ihr zu entkommen und einen Schritt voraus zu sein. Verzweifelt bemüht ihn aufzuhalten, weiß Riley, dass es nur einen Weg gibt: sie muss sich in die Vergangenheit begeben, in den verdrehten Verstand des Mörders, seinen alten Fall untersuchen und herausfinden, was ihn antreibt. Der einzige Weg ihn aufzuhalten, ist sich der Dunkelheit zu stellen, von der sie gehofft hatte, sie hätte sie bereits hinter sich gelassen.

Ein dunkler Psychothriller, der Herzklopfen bereitet. GEJAGT ist Band #5 einer fesselnden neuen Serie - mit einem geliebten neuen Charakters - der Sie bis spät in die Nacht wach halten wird.

Band #6 in der Riley Paige Serie bald erhältlich.

“[I, Richard] will leave you dizzy, dazzled and dying for more.”—People

Hailed by The New York Times as “a master of the British mystery,” award-winning author Elizabeth George is one of our most distinguished writers, widely admired by readers on both sides of the Atlantic. Her first collection of short stories is an extraordinary offering that deftly explores the dark side of everyday people—and the lengths to which they will go to get what they want most. . . .

In five tantalizing and original tales, George plumbs the depths of human nature—and human weakness—as only she can. From the chilling tale of a marriage built on an appalling set of lies that only death can reveal . . . to the story of a squabbling group of Anglophiles saved from a killer thanks to Inspector Thomas Lynley . . . to the final, title story about a penniless schoolteacher whose ambition turns murderous, I, Richard is filled with page-turning drama, danger, and unmatched suspense.

Ironic, revealing, and undeniably entertaining, this imaginative collection proves once again why Elizabeth George is one of today’s best-loved authors. I, Richard belongs in the library of each and every mystery devotee.

Praise for I, Richard

Bestselling author Marty Wingate “plants clever clues with a dash of romantic spice,” raves Mary Daheim. Now Wingate’s inimitable gardening heroine, Pru Parke, is importing a precious bloom from Texas—and she won’t let a vicious murder stop her.
 
Pru’s life in England is coming full circle. A Texas transplant, she’s married to the love of her life, thriving in the plum gardening position she shares with her long-lost brother, and prepping a Chelsea Flower Show exhibit featuring the beloved bluebonnets of the Texas hill country. Technically, Twyla Woodford, the president of a gardening club in the Lone Star State, is in charge of the London event, but Pru seems to be the one getting her hands dirty. When they finally do meet, Pru senses a kindred spirit—until Twyla turns up dead.
 
Although Twyla’s body was half buried under a wall in their display, Pru remains determined to mount a spectacular show. Twyla would have insisted. So Pru recruits her husband, former Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Pearse, to go undercover and do a bit of unofficial digging into Twyla’s final hours. If Pru has anything to say about it, this killer is going to learn the hard way not to mess with Texas.

Marty Wingate’s captivating mysteries can be enjoyed together or separately, in any order:

Der Band »Andersens Märchen« bietet eine Auswahl der schönsten und bekanntesten Märchen von Hans Christian Andersen. Die Märchen von Hans Christian Andersen sind zeitlose Werke der Weltliteratur. Die Märchen wurden für Kinder geschrieben. Sie lassen sich jedoch auf mehreren Ebene verstehen. Manch hintergründiger, ironisch-humorvoller Zug erschließt sich wohl nur dem vorlesenden Erwachsenen. Viele Erzählungen in »Andersens Märchen« sind sogenannte Dingmärchen, eine Schöpfung Hans Christian Andersens. Hier treten Gegenstände als lebendige, meist sprechende Märchencharaktere auf. Dabei steht der Gegenstand für bestimmte persönliche Eigenschaften z.B. Härte, Kleinheit oder Glanz. Die entscheidende Neuerung gelang Hans Christian Andersen mit seinen Märchen auf sprachlicher Ebene: Er wollte, dass man »den Erzähler höre«. Darin unterscheiden sich »Andersens Märchen« deutlich vom traditionellen »geschriebenen Stil« der Brüder Grimm, deren Werk Andersen gut kannte. »Andersens Märchen« bilden zweifellos den Schwerpunkt im reichen Schaffen Hans Christian Andersens und haben seinen Weltruhm begründet. Im Band »Andersens Märchen« sind folgende Märchen enthalten: Die kleine Meerjungfrau Des Kaisers neue Kleider Die Prinzessin auf der Erbse Die Stopfnadel Der standhafte Zinnsoldat Der Tannenbaum Däumelinchen Der kleine Klaus und der große Klaus Der Buchweizen Das häßliche junge Entlein Die Störche Der Engel Das Feuerzeug Der Reisekamerad Die Nachtigall Die wilden Schwäne Der Flachs Die Schneekönigin Die Galoschen des Glückes Die roten Schuhe Der Rosenelf Das kleine Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern Der böse Fürst Der Wassertropfen Die Geschichte von einer Mutter Der Halskragen Der dänische Schriftsteller Hans Christian Andersen (1805 - 1875) schrieb Romane, Reiseberichte und Märchen. Weltruhm errang er durch seine Märchen, die in scheinbar naivem Stil kindgerechte Geschichten mit hintergründigem Humor und philosophischen Lebensbotschaften verbinden.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reckoners series, the Mistborn trilogy, and the Stormlight Archive comes the third book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.

Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell—the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home.
 
Now, the Superiority—the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life—has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa’s seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.
 
Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she’s able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy.
 
The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever return.
 
To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.

Musik ist ihr Leben. 15 Songs entscheiden, wie lange es noch dauert

Vor einem Monat verschwand die 15-jährige Feline Jagow spurlos auf dem Weg zur Schule. Von ihrer Mutter beauftragt, stößt Privatermittler Alexander Zorbach auf einen Musikdienst im Internet, über den Feline immer ihre Lieblingssongs hörte. Das Erstaunliche: Vor wenigen Tagen wurde die Playlist verändert. Sendet Feline mit der Auswahl der Songs einen versteckten Hinweis, wohin sie verschleppt wurde und wie sie gerettet werden kann? Fieberhaft versucht Zorbach das Rätsel der Playlist zu entschlüsseln. Ahnungslos, dass ihn die Suche nach Feline und die Lösung des Rätsels der Playlist in einen grauenhaften Albtraum stürzen wird. Ein gnadenloser Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, bei dem die Überlebenschancen aller Beteiligten gegen Null gehen ...

Der neue große Psychothriller von Sebastian Fitzek, der das Böse zum Klingen bringt - und ein Wiedersehen mit Alina Gregoriev und Alexander Zorbach aus "Der Augensammler" und "Der Augenjäger"!

Das Besondere an „Playlist“ ist, dass es Felines Musik wirklich gibt. "Playlist" ist eine einzigartige Verbindung aus Musik und Text des Bestsellerautors Sebastian Fitzek und nationalen und internationalen Top-Künstler*innen: Auf der Playlist zu “Playlist” finden sich 15 exklusive und noch unveröffentlichte Songs von Künstlern wie Rea Garvey, Silbermond, Beth Ditto, Kool Savas, Johannes Oerding, Lotte, Alle Farben, Tim Bendzko und vielen mehr. Die Audio-Playlist zum Thriller "Playlist" gibt es als CD, Vinyl, Download und Stream.

„Man sagt mir ja eine gewisse Phantasie nach, aber dass dieses Projekt am Ende so fantastische Ausmaße annehmen würde, hätte ich mir selbst in meinen kühnsten Träumen nicht vorstellen können. 15 Stars der nationalen und internationalen Musikszene haben den Schlüsselinhalt meines neuen Psychothrillers real und „Playlist“ damit zu meinem bislang außergewöhnlichsten Buchprojekt werden lassen.“ - Sebastian Fitzek

While Lindsey Bareham was helping Simon Hopkinson put together his best-selling book, Roast Chicken and Other Stories, the two of them began to reminisce about hotel and restaurant dishes they had grown up with and always loved; those Cinderellas of the kitchen that we abandoned in our quest for the wilder shores of gastronomy. Classics such as Duck a l'Orange, Weiner Schnitzel, Moussaka, Garlic Mushrooms and, of course, Prawn Cocktail, have all been slung out like old lovers but when made with fine, fresh ingredients and prepared with care and a genuine love of good eating, these former favourites should grace the most discerning of tables.

The Prawn Cocktail Years sets out to rehabilitate the food we once loved and found exciting. In so doing, the authors take us on a cook's tour of the legendary post-war hotels and gentlemen's clubs with their Mulligatawny and Shepherd's Pie, to the bistros of Swinging London where Paté Maison and sizzling Escargots excited the braver palate. Then there were the first Italian trattorias where Saltimbocca and Oranges in Caramel were the order of the day and the 'Continental' restaurants with their exotic offerings of Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Kiev and Rhum Baba. Recipes for all these old favourites have been brought back to life as well as those classics that were once described as the Great British Meal - Prawn Cocktail, Steak Garni with Chips and Black Forest Gateau. Cooked as they should be, this much derided and often ridiculed dinner is still something very special indeed. The prawn cocktail years are staging a comeback . . .
How to lose weight, keep your muscles and still eat peanut butter sandwiches...


Have you tried those diets that work quickly, but then cause the yoyo effect as soon as you stop them?



Are you afraid of feeling hungry, tired and achy following the limitations in your daily calorie intake?



Do you feel discouraged thinking of bland, boring diet food that doesn’t even satisfy you?



You probably know those problems. Most of the popular diets revolve around such sacrifices, making you miserable, irritated and famished.



But what if researchers actually found a miraculous diet that can prevent all of that – you would be full of energy, healthier and happy – not to mention, you would lose weight quickly and for good?



You won ́t believe it, but they did.



Losing weight is something most of us have thought about at one point or another in our lives.



According to Judy Mahle Lutter, as much as 50% of American women are on a diet at any given time. With thousands of different diets to chose from, it can be really hard to find The One – that one diet which will help you stay in shape without compromising your energy, health and menu.



That’s where the keto diet comes in. You could be eating delicious, filling meals and still lose as much as 15 lbs in 2 weeks. It is simpler than you think... if you know the basics of the keto diet.



Suddenly you can achieve your dream weight in no time.



In “Keto Diet for Beginners”, you will discover:


⚫What stands behind the mysterious “keto” in the diet’s name


⚫What to limit to 5% in your daily menu to achieve astounding results


⚫11 tips to make following the keto diet easier than ever


⚫4 simple ways to go keto for everyone


⚫10 food groups that stand between you and success


⚫Delicious alternatives you can eat as much as you want to satisfy your cravings


⚫How to improve your health with nutritious supplements instead of empty pills


⚫7 stunning health benefits from the keto diet



And much more.



With this collection of exceptional tips and tricks, you can start your keto diet even if you are busy with family and work or if it ́s your first time diving in a lifestyle change.



You too can follow the footsteps of stars like Halle Berry, Vanessa Hudgens, Gwyneth Paltrow, Megan Fox, Adriana Lima and many, many other celebrities who swear on the keto diet to achieve and keep their stunning silhouettes.



It all comes from a simple and effective way of “teaching” your body to start using energy from a different source than usual. Don’t be afraid that it seems like a complete 180-degree turn from most diets – remember: they usually only work short-time...



And do not worry if you have heard the term “keto flu” before. The symptoms might be unpleasant, but according to Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt - the founder of DietDoctor.com, the largest website on keto diet in the world – those should fade away quickly. Within a day or two, you will be even more energetic than before!



Don’t fall for another fad diet. Chose the one that will keep you happy and healthy by clicking “Add to cart” now.


A Weissman once said...

"...can we please stop with the barrage of 2.3 second meals that only need 1 ingredient? I get it...we're busy. But let's refocus on the fact that beautifully crafted burgers don't grow on trees."

Ironically this sounds a lot like he's trying to convince you to cook, but he's really not. Is this selling the cookbook? The point is that the food in this book is an invitation that speaks for itself. Great cooking does, and should, take time. Now is the time to double down and get your head in the cooking game. Or you know, don't. Maybe get someone else to cook this stuff for you...that works too.

How can you know if something is your favorite if 50 to 80 percent of the stuff you've been eating was made by someone else? Butter, condiments, cheese, pickles, bread, patties, and buns. For the superlative gastronomic experience, you can (and should, to be honest) make these from scratch. Create the building blocks necessary to make the greatest meal of your life.

While you're at it, why not give it the Joshua Weissman twist? Afterall, it's hard to buy lacto-fermtented white asparagus with black garlic at the local grocery store. From simple staples to sophisticated curiosities and from gourmet to deep-fried, you are the master of your own kitchen, and you'll make it all, on your terms.

With no regrets, excuses, or apologies, Joshua Weissman will instruct you how with his irreverent humor, a little bit of light razzing, and over 100 perfectly delectable recipes.

If you love to host and entertain; if you like a good project; if you crave control of your food; if fast food or the frozen aisle or the super-fast-super-easy cookbook keeps letting your tastebuds down; then Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook is your ideal kitchen companion.
Including more than 35 step-by-step recipes from the Black Sheep School of Cheesemaking

Most DIY cheesemaking books are hard to follow, complicated, and confusing, and call for the use of packaged freeze-dried cultures, chemical additives, and expensive cheesemaking equipment. For though bread baking has its sourdough, brewing its lambic ales, and pickling its wild fermentation, standard Western cheesemaking practice today is decidedly unnatural. In The Art of Natural Cheesemaking, David Asher practices and preaches a traditional, but increasingly countercultural, way of making cheese—one that is natural and intuitive, grounded in ecological principles and biological science.

This book encourages home and small-scale commercial cheesemakers to take a different approach by showing them:

• How to source good milk, including raw milk;

• How to keep their own bacterial starter cultures and fungal ripening cultures;

• How make their own rennet—and how to make good cheese without it;

• How to avoid the use of plastic equipment and chemical additives; and

• How to use appropriate technologies.

Introductory chapters explore and explain the basic elements of cheese: milk, cultures, rennet, salt, tools, and the cheese cave. The fourteen chapters that follow each examine a particular class of cheese, from kefir and paneer to washed-rind and alpine styles, offering specific recipes and handling advice. The techniques presented are direct and thorough, fully illustrated with hand-drawn diagrams and triptych photos that show the transformation of cheeses in a comparative and dynamic fashion.

The Art of Natural Cheesemaking is the first cheesemaking book to take a political stance against Big Dairy and to criticize both standard industrial and artisanal cheesemaking practices. It promotes the use of ethical animal rennet and protests the use of laboratory-grown freeze-dried cultures. It also explores how GMO technology is creeping into our cheese and the steps we can take to stop it.

This book sounds a clarion call to cheesemakers to adopt more natural, sustainable practices. It may well change the way we look at cheese, and how we make it ourselves.

“Truly insider access, an authentic look at the traditions of one of the most incredible culinary regions of the world.”
—José Andrés


Tucked away in the northwest corner of Spain, Basque Country not only boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than any other region in the world, but its unique confluence of mountain and sea, values and tradition, informs every bite of its soulful cuisine, from pintxos to accompany a glass of wine to the elbows-on-the-table meals served in its legendary eating clubs.

Yet Basque Country is more than a little inaccessible—shielded by a unique language and a distinct culture, it’s an enigma to most outsiders. Until now. Marti Buckley, an American chef, journalist, and passionate Basque transplant, unlocks the mysteries of this culinary world by bringing together its intensely ingredient-driven recipes with stories of Basque customs and the Basque kitchen, and vivid photographs of both food and place. And surprise: this is food we both want to eat and can easily make. It’s not about exotic ingredients or flashy techniques. It’s about mind-set—how to start with that just-right fish or cut of meat or peak-of-ripeness tomato and coax forth its inherent depth of flavor. It’s the marriage of simplicity and refinement, and the joy of cooking for family and friends.
