Book excerpt: First the push, then the shove. A fall without grace. She'll go toe to toe with everything she's got. En pointe to point. Sorry won't cut it. On a November evening in New York City, Anora, a rising ballet star, covered head to toe in the remains of what would have been her twenty-first birthday feast, sees, once again, the sorry snob of a guy who shoved her earlier, attempting to steal her cab. Ethan is dining in style and hasn't got a clue that Anora's about to return the favor. Instead of letting bygones be bygones--after all, he did say he was sorry while tossing money on her fallen form--Anora marches into the five-star restaurant, giving him a verbal shove that will change his life. As a gift to herself, Anora serves Ethan a dish of revenge best consumed publicly. Yeah, that'll teach him. Anora is tired of hearing the word sorry. It has always been what's fueled her courage to work harder, do more, and be more. Accidents do happen, don't they? Who will clean up the mess? Ethan has never been more sorry. Wait, scratch that. Sorry he isn't. But sorry he will be after seeing himself through the eyes of a green-eyed dancing faerie, if he doesn't find the courage to follow his dreams and his heart. Confronting his dad is one thing; finding the waif again is another. Until he does. Then, his life will never be the same. No, he isn't sorry. Never was, never will be. Even when she has the last word--sorry.

Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1613 Mr William Shakespeare, a gentleman farmer in Warwickshire, returns to London. It is a ceremonial visit; he has no further theatrical ambitions. But the city is still reeling from the terrorist panic of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, and fate soon forces him to take up his pen again. It was never possible to write about Henry VII while his granddaughter Elizabeth was Queen, but now he must. It is a perilous enterprise: King James I's spies are everywhere. There is no evidence that Shakespeare wrote Henry VII, but in a compelling piece of historical recreation, Robert Winder asks: what if he did? And after 400 years, he gives us a unique world première - a brand-new, full-length Shakespeare play, incorporated brilliantly into this extraordinary novel. THE FINAL ACT OF MR SHAKESPEARE is an exhilarating portrait of England's greatest author - not in love but raging against the dying of the light. It is an outrageous tour de force of theatrical imagination, full of the spirit of the Bard.
