Black Farce and Cue Ball Wizards
Throughout its chequered history, snooker has had more than its fair share of heroes and villains, champions and chumps, rascals and rip-off artists. In the last 20 years, every sleazy scandal imaginable has attached itself to this raffish sport: corruption, match fixing, bribery, sex, recreational drugs, performance-enhancing drugs, ballot rigging, fraud, theft, domestic violence, common-or-garden violence, paranoid politicking, dirty tricks - all against a background of inept petty tsars fixated on the pursuit, retention and abuse of power. In Black Farce and Cue Ball Wizards, Clive Everton recounts the glory and despair, the dreams and disillusion, and the treachery and greed that have characterised the game since it was invented as an innocent diversion by British Army officers in India in the nineteenth century. He tells the true and unexpurgated tale of snooker's transformation into a television success story second only to football and exposes how its potential has been shamefully squandered.
The Beast Beside Me
A wolf shifter. A cute barista. A gruesome murder... After a murder threatens to expose his pack, Angus Chilton leads them across the country to thwart capture. When they settle in a town where he harbors bucolic childhood memories, Angus meets Hunter Bailey, a handsome, human barista. As their relationship heats up, Angus worries that his hunger will eclipse his desire. Can he really drag Hunter from the world of coffee just to fill his cup with blood? Angus and Hunter are drawn together by shared trauma and similarly problematic ex-lovers. But can Angus keep Hunter safe when his murderous, impulsive, and jealous ex-boyfriend catches wind of their relationship? Conversely, can Hunter keep Angus safe from his own ex, who knows precisely how to kill a werewolf? Readers looking for werewolves, body horror, and romance (with teeth) will love the Wolves of Wharton series. This wolfpack is willing to do whatever it takes to protect their own, and when it comes to revenge? Well, that’s become town folklore.
