Most of us arent racist, sexist, or homophobic. Rather, were just ignorant. Weve spent our entire social and professional lives dealing almost exclusively with people who are just like us. So when we go to school or work with diverse groups, we dont have the life experience or the cultural vocabulary to interact effectively with those populations. This can often result in communication missteps that offend. Neversays is your guidebook to learn and avoid these pitfalls.

We all have heard stories that we enjoy. Those that will make you cry, laugh or just think. Well, A Flavor of Stories is guaranteed to do it all. We have stories like, A Cry for Help, Fading Faith, or even The Country Bumpkins, and many more. Although, we all have our own taste, there will be a story for your flavor.

No one should play with the dead, especially when Raymond Faustanetti is around. For twenty-four years, the veteran cremator has burned bodies at the old cemetery; its a job he takes very seriously. However, not everyone shares his dedication to the deceased. His new boss, Everett Cochran, pompous son of the wealthy, new owner, doesnt get Ray at all and insists on aggravating his freak employee whenever possible. But the cremator wont back down. And that dark determination often creates sparks between them that rival the flames roasting the corpses. When an attractive girl named Alex wanders among the tombstones, both men are drawn to her. Ray refuses his primal urges to keep his haunted past buried. But nothing stops Everett who is determined to have her. With Dads money as bait, he seems to get his wish. Soon, a twisted relationship develops, and Ray senses impending trouble for the girl. All he wants is to be left alone, but circumstances thrust him into real life with every bit of evil that goes with it. As the demons of his past are reawakened, Ray must decide if vengeance is truly history or whether protecting the dead requires eliminating the living.

‘A refreshing, laugh out loud, real talk, tonic of a book written from the heart…will be a comfort to many new parents.’ Laura Dockrill ‘Uplifting and inspiring’ Jo Middelton, slummysinglemummy Motherhood is amazing and the devotion you encounter is staggeringly strong. But when you’re in the eye of the shitstorm, veering between love and lunacy, wondering how this tiny, adorable human can wreak so much bedlam in your life, I believe you need a robust sense of humour to help save your sanity. For Zeena Moolla, the early days of being a new mum were a heady cocktail of sleepless nights, acid reflux and aching boobs. But finding the funny in the chaos buffered so much of the stress. And she has her dad to thank… Being brought up solely by a single dad, one of a foreign, Muslim background, exemplified beautifully that parenting and families come in all different shapes and sizes.

If that’s not a vital skill in parenting, then what is? With top tips for surviving sleep-deprivation (spoiler alert: embrace a cantankerous mood and don’t buy crap coffee) to dealing with judgy idiots, getting to grips with shitty mum-guilt and returning to work, Zeena will show you that motherhood won’t just get better, it’ll be incredible. Laugh-out-loud funny, honest, tender and packed with real life advice – this is essential reading for every new mother not cherishing every moment, feeling like a misfit or simply finding this parenting lark all too much. Read what everyone is saying about Everything I've Learned about Motherhood: 'I honestly wish I had gotten my hands on this book when I was first pregnant with my daughter. This would have gotten me through my pregnancy and my first year with her with a sense of ease that I definitely didn't feel…packed with hilarity on every page…the kind of advice I would have loved hearing… an excellent book... I think I love her dad... Reading his experience as a single father to three kids was inspiring.' Goodreads reviewer ‘I honestly couldn't think of a better introduction to this delicate topic than this raw, funny and brutally honest story of two parents who had it rough in their own way…worth every second of your time.’ Goodreads reviewer 'I really felt like a family friend reading this…Very funny and perfect for Mums!’ NetGalley reviewer
