Set in vividly illustrated venues of our natural world, The Lone Wolves is a story about wanderings of the heart and soul by nature photographer Samantha Connor, and of Natasha, a relocated wolf in Yellowstone National Park, with whom Samantha has much in common. Struggling with her love and devotion to her deceased husband, who she believes was her one true love, Samantha is lonesome and so bound to her past that she feels she cannot free her heart to surrender to a new love, Joe Edison, a wildlife biologist whose ambition is to work with the Yellowstone wolves. Joe remains vigilant in his pursuit to woo Samantha, even when things get complicated. Unprovoked acts of greed and deceit by mystery cohorts against a wildlife animal shelter, where Samantha shares a home, evolve to include Samantha and Joe and become tests for their developing relationship, almost beyond its limits. There are also lessons to learn in loyalty and trust within the bonds of camaraderie, especially when you become the prey. In the dead of winter in Yellowstone's pristine backcountry, comes Samantha's ultimate challenge: a potentially tragic repeat of history all under the curious, and watchful eyes of Natasha.

In the Interstices of the Tale brings Edith Wharton out of the Victorian past, focusing instead on narrative strategies that link Wharton with American Modernism. Wharton's experiments with narrative form, her pervasive use of irony, and her attention to her ostensibly untold women's stories all belie the standard image of Wharton as a novelist of manners and a literary remnant of the nineteenth century. By looking beyond this traditional image of Wharton, Hadley finds fresh insights into both the meanings of Wharton's fictions and the significance of her place in American literature.

Described as 'the indispensable survival guide for every woman who has put her career on hold to have a baby', 'Staying Sane' is an acutely observed and brilliantly funny book for women who excelled in life BC (Before Child) and are struggling AD (After Delivery). Sleep-deprived and with a baby in tow, suddenly going to the supermarket feels like a polar expedition and following a recipe is as easy as studying for PhD in applied physics. And precisely when a new mother is brain-dead and can barely understand the instructions on a microwave meal, they get presented with books the size of telephone directories on parenting. 'Staying Sane' is the welcome antidote to such manuals. Warm, witty and wise, it does not lecture you on how to be the perfect mother. Instead, it is meant to provide at-a-glace nuggets of wisdom and humour to help through the darkest days of mental dementia. It will even help con their husbands into thinking he's getting a decent meal every night.
