Book excerpt: A New York Times NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR An NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A Publishers Weekly BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A globetrotting, time-bending, wildly entertaining masterpiece hailed by the New York Times Book Review as "Audaciously well written … the book I was raving about to my friends before I'd even finished it." Set in three different eras, and in three different locations—all, coincidentally, named Venice—this “startling, beautiful gem of a book” (NPR) calls to mind David Mitchell and Umberto Eco in its mix of entertainment and literary bravado. The core story is set in sixteenth-century Venice, where, on the island of Murano, the famed makers of Venetian glass were perfecting one of the old world's most wondrous inventions: the mirror. An object of glittering yet fearful fascination—was it reflecting simple reality, or something more spiritually revealing?—the Venetian mirrors were state-of-the-art technology, subject to industrial espionage by desirous sultans and royals world-wide. Thus, for the skilled craftsmen that made them, any attempt to leave the island—to steal the technology—was a crime punishable by death. One man, however—a world-weary war hero with nothing to lose—has a scheme he thinks will allow him to outwit the city's terrifying enforcers of the edict, the ominous Council of Ten . . . Meanwhile, in two other Venices—Venice Beach, California, circa 1958, and the Venice casino in Las Vegas, circa today—two other schemers launch similarly dangerous plans to get away with a secret . . . All three stories weave together into a spell-binding tour de force that is impossible to put down—an old-fashioned, stay-up-all-night novel that, in the end, returns the reader to a stunning conclusion in the original Venice . . . and the bedazzled sense of having read a truly original and thrilling work of art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the dawn of the Cold War, the world’s most important intelligence agencies—the Soviet KGB, the American CIA, and the British MI6—appeared to have clear-cut roles and a sense of rising importance in their respective countries. But when Kim Philby, head of MI6’s Russian division and arguably the twenty-first century’s greatest spy, was revealed to be a Russian mole along with British government heavyweights Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess, everything in the Western intelligence world turned upside down. Here is the true story of how the American James Bond—the colorful, foulmouthed, pistol-packing, alcoholic ex-FBI agent William “King” Harvey—put the finger on Philby; how James Jesus Angleton, the chain-smoking poet of Yale University and the CIA’s supposed “master spy” in charge of counterintelligence, began his descent into a paranoid wilderness of mirrors upon learning of family friend Kim Philby’s ultimate betrayal; and the devastating consequences of the loss of MI6 prestige and the CIA’s subsequent self-defeating witch hunts. Every revelation, every stranger-than-fiction twist and turn is all the more intriguing as truths become lies and unlikely scenarios are revealed as reality. With impeccable sourcing and the use of thousands of pages of declassified research, David C. Martin’s Wilderness of Mirrors is widely recognized as a masterpiece of intelligence literature.

Graciela Cristales’ whole world changes after she and a boy she barely knows are assaulted at the same party. She loses her gift for making enchanted pan dulce.

Ciela decides to help him, which means hiding the truth about that night. Because Ciela knows who assaulted her, and him. And she knows that her survival, and his, depend on no one finding out what really happened.

Book excerpt: The MIRROR Challenge The dilemma that we all face is to ask ourselves where we are going in terms of our lives. One of my favourite words is 'Next!' What is next for me? For some readers who are in a bit of a rut, you could be wondering what's happening to me and/or why am I here? Have you been watching a 'movie' lately that seems to be stuck on the repeat button? Have you been caught in a maze and can't see your way out? It makes sense, every once in a while to step back from your day to day activities and ask yourself - Who I am? What am I doing? Where am I? Where am I going? Why am I here? How am I doing? What and where do I need to make changes? The MIRROR Challenge(TM) is aimed at challenging you to challenge yourself. Throughout the book there are a series of questions for you to think about and find answers. Each chapter of the book consists of a series of questions relating to each letter of the word 'MIRROR' - to get you to provocatively think about all aspects of your life. There are also a number of tried and tested MIRROR Challenge Exercises in each chapter as well as 'Have a Mirror Moment!' Exercise. These are for you to complete on your own initially and when you have finished, find a partner, colleague or friend and share the questions and answers with each other. The true purpose of the questions and the exercises is to help you get a fresh and new insight as well as a different perspective of who you are and 'unearth' the real picture/reflection of you. Be authentic. You need to be honest, truthful and frank with yourself, or you will end up as someone else and that's not who you want to be! The book is not about weight, height, dress size or body image, but it is about you looking in the mirror of life metaphorically and challenging yourself, your reflection, your thoughts, your thinking, your vision, your mind, your feelings, your senses - what you see, hear, feel? Most importantly, this book is about what action you need to take to change your current situation (if you don't like it) and taking it! This book examines and highlights what makes it possible for people to progress while others struggle to meet their aspirations. The MIRROR Challenge is not only a book you read, it's a resource, it has tips and techniques and is a toolkit for you to use. Use it to break new ground and create opportunities in your life. Use it to jump start a stalling career. Use the MIRROR Challenge to get to the real you! It is about reading or looking at something again, but with a fresh pair of eyes! It provides practical advice on moving on and getting ahead in life. This book provides opportunities for individuals to think, plan, do and review and take 'real' action regarding their future. It also aims to assist them in making informed choices and decisions and to take actions to develop themselves proactively. You may have heard of the bucket or mannequin challenge. Well long before these challenges was the MIRROR Challenge! Are you ready for the MIRROR Challenge? The more you look in the mirror, is the more you will find out about yourself and what changes you need to make to take you to the next level! So, here's to looking in the Mirror, taking action and making those life changes!
