**Preorder now and receive the stunning LIMITED EDITION while supplies last, featuring gorgeous sprayed edges as well as a collectible spine design.** "...I live for you. I breathe for you. I will die for you. It. Has. Always. Been. You." No one has ever made Rosie LeBlanc feel more alive than the man who serves as a constant reminder that her clock is ticking. Dean Cole is her forbidden, shiny apple. A stubborn fallacy against her blunt, raw truth. Because Rosie has an illness. Cystic fibrosis. Sometimes she conquers it, but sometimes it conquers her. She knows she's more than her diagnosis, but she also knows she will not live a long, happy life with it. And the last thing she wants to do is start a relationship she knows is doomed to end in tragedy. Least of all with her sister's ex-boyfriend. But the truth is, Rosie saw Dean first. She craved him first. She loved him first. And now, eleven years later, he's come waltzing back into her life, demanding a second chance. He sees her walls, and he's determined to smash them down, even with his own demons at play. He wants to be Rosie's white knight, whatever it takes...but he might just be too late.

Reece's new dog, Ruckus, tears through life like a Tyrannosaurus rex. He bites everything that moves and drives Reece's mom nuts. The puppy was Dad's idea, to make things easier for Reece after his parents' separation, but Ruckus is not easy at all and Mom is getting fed up. When her diamond earrings go missing, it sends the family into a tailspin. What happens when a dog swallows something precious? Reece is about to find out. But they can't give up on this little Jack Russell terror, can they? He's family, after all. We first met Reece and his family in the Orca Echoes title Where's Burgess? by Laurie Elmquist.

I don't think I'll ever meet someone who loves me as much as Ryan loves me and hates me as much as Ryan hates me A loving relationship can be anything but. In this one-woman thriller, Ruckus explores coercive control, an issue not widely recognised - yet its side effects kill up to three women every week in the UK. Each moment of the play has been inspired by real women and real stories. Acclaimed by critics and audiences, this powerful piece sends shivers down the spine and brings to light the suppression caused by coercive control. During its original run at Edinburgh Fringe in August 2022, Ruckus was the 1st Finalist for the Popcorn New Writing Award 2022, shortlisted for The Filipa Bragança Award, and winner of a Lustrum Award. This edition was published to coincide with the run at the Southwark Playhouse in London, in October 2022.

Peter Schulenburg, the award-winning poet's newest book, I'm Gonna Raise a Ruckus, contains the same whimsy, charm, and child's point of view that his first book of poems, Inside Our Fridge contained and so much more. The giggles and laughs that had Reader Views saying, "Not only are they (the poems) so much fun to read and laugh at, but . . . the illustrations added to the fun and the laughter." I'm Gonna Raise a Ruckus has poems that will make you snicker and laugh about sisters, brothers, moms, and dads; as well as a few monsters who lurk, and some witches and warlocks who have cast magic spells, and all sorts of animals doing the most absurd and funny things. Dave Quandt's and Jessica Berger's illustrations litter the book with more giggles and grins and put the finishing touches on the humorous people and situations that Peter Schulenburg's poems introduce to us. So join Peter Schulenburg as he prances down the road of silliness with his friends straight into the heart of Laughter.

Red is a Wiz tasked with finding the other Wiz’s of the realm so they can band together to form the Great Wiz, a being of light, and destroy the growing evil darkness known only as the Ruckus. On this journey, he meets Bog Wiz, Sad Dad, and Feather Duster—but soon their fate rests on the shoulders of a young Wiz named Bean who is too strong, too hot-headed, and completely untested to be any real help. Bean might not be ready to be the hero the world needs, but Red is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that the Ruckus doesn’t win. It's a battle of good versus evil in this amazing adventure written and illustrated by Joey McCormick (Adventure Time). When heroes and villains come in all shapes and sizes, sometimes, all it takes to truly save the world is one small Bean.
