"The Last Lady from Hell" is an historical novel about one of the world's darkest hours. A haunting old photograph of a bagpiper playing to a shellshocked kilted regiment inspires a Queens University student to track down the last living Canadian veteran of " The War to end all Wars." He meets the 109-year old Ian Macdonald who, as a member of a kilted bagpipe band (mockingly referred to by the German troops as The Ladies from Hell ), led Allied troops into the war's bloodiest conflict. Recounting his tale to the young student, Macdonald relives his remarkable journey leading up to and including the horrors of the Battle Somme on the Western Front. With 56,000 casualties on the first day, this battle would go down in history as Britain's worst losses in any one event.

"In one of the most powerful memoirs of persecution ever written, Denise Affonco recounts how her comfortable life in Phnom Penh was torn apart when the Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia in April 1975. As a French citizen, Denise Affonco was offered a choice: she could either flee to France with her children or they could all stay together in Cambodia with her husband, Seng, who did not have a French passport. Seng was Chinese and a convinced communist; he believed that the Khmer Rouge would bring an end to five years of civil war. Denise decided the family should stay together. But the Khmer Rouge did not bring peace: Denise and her family, along with millions of their fellow citizens, were deported to a living hell in the countryside where, for almost four years, they endured hard labour, famine, sickness and death." "What gives this book its freshness is that much of it was written in the months after Denise Affonco's liberation in 1979. Shortly afterwards, Denise left for France to rebuild her life with her surviving son and the carbon copy manuscript was all but forgotten. It was only when, some 25 years later, she met a European academic who told her that the Khmer Rouge did "nothing but good" for Cambodia that she realised it was time to end her silence."--BOOK JACKET.

FORBIDDEN LOVE Cecily Nottingham has made a huge mistake. The marriage bed was still warm when the earl she thought she loved crawled out of it and announced that he loved someone else. Loves—someone else. Cecily was nothing more than a means to an end, that end being her dowry. With nothing to lose, in an attempt to goad the earl into divorcing her, Cecily sets out to seduce her husband’s cousin, Mr. Nottingham. Little does she realize that he is everything her husband is not: honorable, loyal, trustworthy. Handsome as sin. Stephen Nottingham returned to England for one reason—to save his cousin’s estate from financial ruin. Instead, he finds himself tempted by his cousins beautiful and scorned countess. He isn’t sure what to do first, strangle his cousin, or kiss the cad’s wife. As the tangle unravels, his honor is put to the test, right along with his self-control. Amid snakes, duels, and a good catfight, Cecily realizes the game she’s playing has high stakes indeed. There are only a few ways for a marriage to end in Regency England, and none of them come without a high price. Is she willing to pay it? Is Stephen? A ‘Happily Ever After’ hangs in the balance, because, yes, love can conquer all, but sometimes it needs a little bit of help. Hell Hath No Fury is Book 1 in Annabell Anders’ wildly popular Devilish Debutantes Series.
