This is my story, true in every detail, a story of the love between a naive young girl and an older wise man during World War II. Since then, a long time passed by; but in spite of my many following adventures, this love never died.

Join Mary Cole Patterson as she walks through The Second Time Around, a book of poetry primarily about her late husband, Roger. Read as she questions and prays her way through her husband’s final battle for life here on earth. Smile as she notes he would be pleased with the specific day he died—Pearl Harbor Day—because having been a soldier in Vietnam was important to him. Although grief is a difficult subject to approach, she does it through poetry in crisp quick images as in “How Did You Imagine It?” or with rhymes as in “The Hours in the Day Are Long.” “How Did You Imagine It?”—Close your eyes. Listen to the soft rustling of clothing as everyone sat down. Did you hear the varoooom of the cannons in the distance? “The Hours in the Day Are Long”—My heart aches with missing you; I know it always will. My life’s in a thousand pieces I feel. Patterson lays out her personal agony for the world to see in hopes her words help you deal with your own loss. This walk for her was difficult. She prays her words assist you in your walk through your own grief, however recent it may be.

The first volume of the collected works of ‘the true heir to Simenon’, the late French noir writer Pascal Garnier. 'A mixture of Albert Camus and JG Ballard' Financial Times Enter the world of Pascal Garnier, where life's misfits take centre stage, there is drama in the everyday and the unexpected is always just around the corner. Volume 1 includes The A26, in which a new Picardy motorway brings modernity close to a flat in which a brother and sister live together, haunted by terminal illness and the events of 1945; How’s the Pain?, the tale of an ageing ‘pest exterminator’ taking on one last job on the French Riviera; and The Panda Theory, in which a stranger, Gabriel, arrives in a Breton town and befriends the locals ... but is he as angelic as he seems? Dark, funny and shot through with menace, these perfectly crafted novellas of Gallic noir are also affecting studies in human alienation.
