Book excerpt: The Right of the Firstborn: A firstborn eighteen years of age or older may answer a call-to-arms from any noble family. The task, once completed, will mark the individual as an independent adult, free to leave their parents’ home, seek higher education or employment, purchase land, marry or not. This right may not apply to women in Jessa Copeland’s city but, when she hears that Rowan Eckersley needs volunteers to travel with him to the Forgotten Isle, she disguises herself as a man and answers the young lord’s call-to-arms. Rowan means to find the Lost Goddess who has struck their city with an incurable plague, and kill her before the plague takes his mother’s life. Jessa hopes to win her independence. Risking life and limb seems to her a small price to pay for the opportunity to escape her engagement to Beau, a man who would never permit her to go to school or learn a trade. Something else awaits Rowan and Jessa on the island, however, something far more dangerous than the goddess’s monsters and undead minions: true love. This is the first installment in a companion series for Asta and the Barbarians. Each new novella will introduce a couple who will be aiding Asta in a new mission in the long-awaited sequel, Asta among the Chosen.

One year later, Asta graduates from warrior academy with honors and is chosen as one of the king's personal Defenders. She will finally have the opportunity to kill the man who gave the general his orders, and avenge her family. She doesn't expect the king to be young or kind, or completely oblivious of what his men are doing overseas. He has been told peaceful negotiations are going well. But Asta knows better. Asta must find proof of the general's treachery and bring it before the king so that she can save unconquered provinces from meeting the same fate as her hometown. But the king's counselors suddenly start dying, and the king himself is hounded by foreign assassins. Revenge will have to wait if Asta's going to keep the king, the mainland's only hope, alive.

Determined to try, he sets off to fulfill a promise he made to Byx, his departed brother-in-arms. Belhina has been skating by on her earnings and the money her twin, Byx, sent home. Now that he’s gone, she has a choice to make: find yet another job to supplement his wages or get married. Her best friend and the son of the town’s clockmaker are both ready to take her to the church but, for Belhina, finding another job is the more preferable option. Then Maddock approaches her, offering his home and his wealth while asking for nothing in return. Because Belhina has read about the strapping young aristocrat in her brother’s letters, she knows she can trust Maddock. So she accepts his proposal. As if marriage to a stranger wasn’t hard enough, a spell falls over the couple that makes them switch bodies at the midnight toll. This could only be the work of a celestial being but are they friend or foe, and what reason could they have for this interference?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.
