A boy and the moon share a walk through his neighborhood.

A Gothic fantasy set on a college campus from the author of Wylding Hall: “The unstoppable narrative just might make Waking the Moon a cult classic. Literally” (Spin). Sweeney Cassidy is the typical college freshman at the University of the Archangels and St. John the Divine in Washington, DC. She drinks. She parties. And she certainly doesn’t suspect that underneath its picturesque Gothic façade, the University is a haven for the Benandanti, a cult devoted to suppressing the powerful and destructive Moon Goddess. But everything is about to change as Sweeney learns that her two new best friends are the Goddess’s Chosen Ones. Rich and engrossing, Waking the Moon is a seductive post-feminist thriller that delves into an ancient feud, where the real and magical collide, and one woman is forced to make a decision that will change the world. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Elizabeth Hand including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Ambition brought the Police together. It also tore them apart – but not before they became the biggest band in the world and the first supergroup of the Eighties. In Walking on the Moon Chris Campion tells the full, uncensored story of their spectacular rise. Written with a fan’s eye for detail this no-holds-barred account follows the band from their early struggle to make a mark in the volatile late 70’s punk scene, through their emergence – masterminded with the help of legendary manager Miles Copeland III – as an international rock phenomenon. Walking on the Moon features for the first time the arduous touring and recording schedule that saw the band crack America, the unorthodox business strategies that catapulted them to the top, and the bouts of infighting that caused their early demise. Campion details the shock 2007 reunion that saw them re-emerge as a global touring spectacle after a 20-year hiatus from the music industry and explores how the band members’ conflicting personalities and the chaotic personal life of frontman Sting informed some of their biggest hits. Much more than simply an entertaining romp, the book offers insightful critical analysis of the broader factors that enabled the Police’s success, and reveals a band struggling to balance commercial ambition with a desire for artistic credibility. Walking on the Moon is an epic tale of Eighties rock and the role played within it by one of the biggest names in music: The Police.A former contributing editor to Dazed & Confused and Vice magazines, and a writer for the Observer, the Daily Telegraph and Bizarre, Chris Campion has reported on the world of popular culture for almost two decades.

Today I walked. Not just those feeble shuffling steps of recent weeks. Today I walked to the base of the hill and along the rough clay path that circles it. Although we are high here and far from the sea, the path has the appearance of worn sandstone and contains, along with pebbles and inground eucalypt twigs, tiny fragments of shell. There is a world at my feet. A woman wakes from a coma, its cause unknown. She refuses to see her family; she does not say why. She recovers slowly, beset by relapses. Despite this she becomes stronger as something, perhaps anger, begins to find expression within her. Now she will walk. Where? Walking to the Moon is Kate Cole-Adams' remarkable, enthralling first novel. It is a piercing exploration of abandonment and loss framed within an irresistibly seductive narrative and it is, without doubt, the start of something special.

The author describes thirteen moonlight walks with her children and the nature observations they made.
