Jim Wekle's first day as a trooper on an island in Alaska could have gone better. It was raining, the coffee was bad, and within hours of stepping off the seaplane, he found a bikini-clad girl floating in a kelp bed. As Jim investigates who might have put the bullet in her back, he stumbles across a uniquely diverse and extraordinarily hilarious batch of island inhabitants. Puffing on his imported cigars, Jim soon learns that no one on the island is more unique, diverse, or hilarious than his unlikely counterpart: a man simply known as Kram.

Cambridge spy Guy Burgess was a supreme networker. He also set a gold standard for conflicts of interest, working variously for the BBC, MI5, MI6, the War Office, the Ministry of Information and the KGB. Yet Burgess was never challenged by Britain's spy catchers: his superiors were convinced he was too much of a liability to have been recruited by Moscow. Now, with a major new release of hundreds of files into the National Archives, Purvis and Hulbert reveal just how this charming establishment insider was able to fool everyone for so long.

The Insecure Girl's Handbook will guide you through your insecurity no matter what life stage you're at, pointing out the pitfalls of people pleasing, negative backchat and crippling comparison along the way. It's a carefully curated toolkit of tried and tested mechanisms and small pearls of wisdom to start combatting that feeling that holds us back from speaking up, from following our dreams or even feeling that our dreams aren't good or big enough. I hope it will provide you with a comforting hug and pep talk, from one insecure girl to another.

Jim and Kram are back in their second hilarious romp around their secluded Southeast Alaskan island. With a serial killer at large (a cereal serial killer, to be more accurate), an unlucky entrepreneur with an out-of-control facial tic, and the nephew of a notorious crime boss setting up shop on the island, Lieutenant Jim Wekle will have his work cut out for him.  

When a dip-net fisherman hauls in a severed human foot, Lieutenant Jim Wekle is thrown into another whodunit on his remote island. Alaskan mayhem ensues with a rogue gang of elderly women on ATVs, a Planet Patrol environmental boat with an oil leak, and an influx of tourists, each clutching a fresh copy of a book titled, Muskeg Mama. Kram is in rare form as he decides to enter the local work force by applying his unique perspective to a series of part-time jobs.

A Little Nettlebed si raccontano molte storie sulle sorelle Mansfield: che sono arroganti, bugiarde, indisciplinate. Ciascun abitante del piccolo villaggio ha da dire la propria sul loro conto, ma su una cosa tutti concordano: le ragazze sono strane, e, quindi, pericolose. Con l'arrivo di una delle estati più torride di sempre, poi, comincia a verificarsi una serie di eventi singolari: un enorme pesce argentato - o forse un mostro di fiume - si arena sulla riva del Tamigi, gli animali si fanno frenetici, gruppi di corvi si radunano sui tetti delle case.

Art Biz Talk is a podcast for a bold generation of Visual artists who are building their Personal Brand. I’ve been in the creative industry for over two decades and am a practicing sculptor myself. The reason why I’m so passionate about working with visual artists like you, is because traditionally, the art profession doesn’t have a clear path to success. There’s a lot of gatekeeping, opaqueness and outdated strategies in play, and I believe any artist pursuing their career wholeheartedly can define what success means to them and develop long-term strategy to reach their vision and ...
