Thomas har en svulst i hjernen og han ved, at han ikke har langt igen, ikke som sig selv. Og Line-Maria har brug for en ordentlig afsked – alt for mange hun har kendt er døde brat. De beslutter sig for at tage til Prag på en sidste rejse, og her skriver de essayet ‘Dear Prudence – en afskedsrejse’. Tom er allerede begyndt at tale dårligere og har mindre energi. Men samværet, byen og regnen liver ham op og de insisterer på at skabe nye minder i den tid de har sammen. Bogen handler om savnet og smerten, men samtidig også om den glæde de har ved hinanden og venskabet. Og på hver deres måde forsøger de at gøre det så godt for den anden som muligt. Bogen indeholder en særlig varme, hvor døden og det legesyge blandes sammen. De to venners selvopfundne kodesprog, deres sproglige tvetydigheder (på dansk og på engelsk.) Thomas kunne pga. af svulsten ikke tale dansk til sidst og derfor er bogen skrevet på henholdsvis dansk og på engelsk. Der er tale om en stærk bog, der giver en sidste stemme til en af dansk litteraturs bedst bevarede hemmeligheder. Forlaget laver i forbindelse med udgivelsen et større arrangement for Thomas og Dear Prudence. På udgivelsesdagen. Der er til bogen skrevet forord af Martin Glaz Serup og Kristian Bang Foss. Blurbs: Dear Prudence is a duet: a true story of friends, both writers, whose voices intertwine to create the most beautiful love story I’ve ever read. Full of delight and gravitas, Dear Prudence is a piece I’ll return to eagerly and often--for its beauty and music, for its joy and its example. I think its readers will feel the same. - Renée Ashley (Prisvindende poet og essayist. Redaktør på ‘The Literary Review’) “An extraordinary portrait of literary friendship, powerfully moving and profoundly wise. Thomas E. Kennedy was one of the English language’s best kept secrets and here is one of the last pieces: by turns vulnerable and generous, brilliant and doubting. Line-Maria Lång is a revelation; she is the sort of writer to whom the future belongs. Together Lång and Kennedy have created a literary duet for the ages.” - Junot Díaz

To an outsider, Cassandra Shaw's life looks perfect. She lives in a beautiful, luxurious house in the English countryside, with a handsome, wealthy boyfriend who insists she needn't do a day's work in her life. But Cassie knows that something is not right.

Her boyfriend has grown colder, treating her more like a housekeeper than a future wife. And her time feels empty and purposeless.

Cassandra has always been riddled with insecurities and self-doubt, but, just for once, she decides to take a chance on a new beginning. She answers an advert for a live-in nanny, dogwalker, cook and all-round 'Superhuman' for a family living in a rambling manor house on the rugged North Cornish coast. The work is hard and tiring, but Cassie has never felt so fulfilled.

As Cassie learns to connect with the natural beauty unfolding around her, Cornwall starts to offer up its secrets. Soon, Cassie starts wondering if she was drawn to this isolated part of the coast for a reason. Why was she guided to Foxcombe Manor? What are the flashes of light she sees in the valley? Is it her imagination or does someone brush past her? And who is the mysterious man living deep in the woods?

Romantic. Funny. Sexy.

Professor Stephen Worthington has been taught a lesson by the emancipated Miss Julia Wilde. But what started out as a one night stand has turned into something more – at least when it comes to Stephen who is crazy about Julia and wants more than just sex and secret dates.

Julia on the other hand seems less involved in their relationship and not as committed as Stephen but perhaps her unresponsive attitude is just a façade?

It’s now up to Stephen to prove to Julia that the sexual chemistry between them can easily be mixed with romance and true love.

ABSOLUTE LOVERS is a sequel to SJ Hooks’ bestseller novel ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS about professor Stephen Worthington and his female student, Julia Wilde.

Welcome to the gorgeous little Scottish village of Christmas, where snow is falling, presents are being wrapped and the locals are writing their festive wish lists. Will this finally be the year that Belle’s dreams come true?

Thirty-year-old Belle Albany is feeling lonely this Christmas. Another whole year has passed and her life is... exactly the same as it was last December. She longs for true love and a little bit of winter magic – but she’s almost given up on finding it in the sleepy Scottish community where she lives...

When Belle crashes into elderly Edina on her cherry red bicycle, it’s not the meet-cute she’d been hoping for. But she immediately recognises the lost look in Edina’s watery-blue eyes and resolves to organise a Christmas to remember for them both – brimming with mince pies, mulled wine and lots of sparkle. Although Belle hadn’t counted on Edina’s home being a crumbling Scottish castle and she certainly hadn’t been expecting Edina’s handsome long-lost grandson Jack Hamilton-Kirk to turn up on the doorstep in the middle of a snow storm...

Jack is arrogant, rude and bossy and Belle is convinced he’s about to ruin the seasonal cheer she has worked hard to create. He’s basically the Grinch in human form, so why does her heart race every time they’re in the same room? They disagree on almost everything, from menu choices to music, and yet she starts to glimpse a softer side hidden behind Jack’s clipped words and brooding countenance.

As they hunt down costumes for the annual nativity show and save a donkey from a snowy disaster, Belle can’t ignore their growing attraction. But will a secret from Jack’s past come between them? Or will this finally be the year Belle falls in love?

This gorgeous, festive read is like a warm hug in a book! The perfect cosy romance to snuggle up with this Christmas. Fans of Nicola May, Trisha Ashley and Debbie Macomber will love this wonderfully uplifting novel.
