Young and strong, this novel's protagonist, Lewis, is equally keen on beer and girls and bored in equal measures by his job and by club rugby. He only has one problem: he's a closet romantic, and life isn't matching up to all he thinks it should be.

A brooding murder mystery that hinges on the dark edges of imagination, this novel centers on a death on a mountain that produced no body—only rumors. Elan has been missing for two years. Her people presume she has abandoned the mountain to live with the travelers who collect crystals from the quarries every summer. Nye John, a friend of Elan, lives alone in a remote cottage on the far side of the Brechfa. He has lost valuable stock to unaccountable kills over the winter. He forms a theory that wolves from the North are running on the High Vans again. Not many people believe him, but it is enough to start a rumor of something unaccounted for on the mountain. Elan's brother Cain still farms his land to the rim of the Vans. He has also lost stock to unaccountable kills. He needs to believe there are only rumors hiding on the open mountain. The rumors grow as the winter begins to grip the mountain and the truth decides to come down from the High Vans.

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge County Geographies were designed to provide a series of concise guides to British regions. Aimed at the general reader, they combined a comprehensive approach to various aspects of physical and human geography with an emphasis on clarity. This guide to Radnorshire by Lewis Davies was first published in 1912. The text is interspersed with numerous illustrative figures and also contains a list of the chief towns and villages within the county.

My Piece of Happiness

Quietly examining questions of belonging and of normality, this novel tells the story of Andy, Sarah, and Sean, three disabled young adults dependent on the support that parents and the healthcare system struggle to provide. All three owe much to former boxer George Rees, now a dedicated social worker. George brings wheelchair-bound Andy to the hymn-singing on Sundays and arranges for Sean to participate in a paper-delivery route. Venturing beyond the call of duty, he volunteers to accompany Sean and Sarah on Saturday outings that begin innocently but soon lead to the question of sexuality among members of the disabled community. George's involvement first conceals and then betrays a lack of direction in his own life. A certain irony develops as the books progresses: George inhabits the margins of society never to find a way back in, while Andy, Sarah, and Sen, through George's efforts, can all hope to achieve integration. Realizing this, and seeing no light, George becomes prey to the fatalism he has long been motivated to overcome.
