‘Brave and beautiful.’ Stylist Magazine‘Social media’s answer to Carol Ann Duffy’ Sunday Times STYLE‘Divine.’ Cecelia Ahern
She Must be Mad explores coming-of-age: the pain and beauty of love, the relief and the agony of turning from girl to woman, the isolation of an untethered mind and the power and subjugation of the body.
Charly captures the formative experiences of today’s young women from the poignant to the prosaic in writing that is at once witty, wry and heartfelt. Wayward nights out that don’t go as planned; the righteous anger at those men with no talent or skill or smarts who occupy the most powerful positions in the world; the strange banality of madness and, of course, the hurt and indecision of unrequited love.
For every woman surviving and thriving in today’s world, for every girl who feels too much; this is a call for communion, and you are not alone.

Climate change is not just an environmental problem, it's a human one. Yet as humans, we are not changing fast enough for ourselves and our planet. Our sense of powerlessness and the belief that our actions won't make a difference is holding us back from taking action and working on the psychological dimension of change could make the difference to moving us forward. 
In this transformative book, climate change coaching trailblazers Charly Cox and Sarah Flynn explain why changing for our climate is so hard and why coaching offers a key to affecting behaviour. With practical, easy-to-grasp skills that shift mindsets and motivate action they show how to build connection using a coaching approach, to overcome resistance and empower people to embrace change. 
If people often tell you "What difference can I really make?" or "How can we possibly succeed?" then Climate Change Coaching will help you: 
-Understand the psychological barriers to change, and how to address them 
-Gain practical, connection-building skills to have more impact in every conversation 
-Build stronger, more trusting relationships to make long-term change more likely 
-Develop a new perspective on how individual change leads to systems change 
-Discover how to help organisations succeed at change and what creates social change 
-Learn to coach and support yourself to manage stress and avoid burnout 
Whether you are changing an organisation, engaging a community, or coaching individuals, this book will change the way that you connect and how you influence. With example conversations and real-life stories from 40 practitioners from the worlds of sustainability, business, academia and coaching, it will show you how coaching skills are being used individually and organisationally to galvanise climate action. 
"This practical guide fills many of the gaps, with tools that can help us become better allies to each other in supporting the personal and systemic shifts needed in our time."

The Toybox (Detective Alyssa Wyatt)

Alone in the Woods (Detective Alyssa Wyatt)

When a young woman goes missing, Detective Alyssa Wyatt is called to the scene. Will she and her team be able to solve the crime and locate the woman in time? It's their usual Thursday girls' night in, and best friends Skye, Elena, and London are hanging out at Skye's house in New Mexico: eating junk food, drinking wine, and playing with Skye's children, Carter and Abigail...until the intruders arrive. Hearing horrific screams from Elena and Skye, London hides the children, tiptoes out to see what has happened, and then disappears. After Carter raises the alarm, Detective Alyssa Wyatt is called in to investigate a crime that appears to have no motive, no evidence, and worse still--no sign of London. As Alyssa and her team dig deeper, the truth is always just out of their reach, but what is clear is that they need to find London...and fast. As they uncover a link between the murders and a sinister local cult, can Alyssa find the young woman who has vanished without a trace before London joins the list of victims?
