When your world, your life and all of your hopes and dreams for the future are ripped out from under you, how do you go on? Death without dying is not only the most painful kind of death, it's also the most painful kind of life and I don't know if I'm strong enough to live it. I spend my lonely days and nights trying to make sense of what my life has become. Do I have the strength to move forward into the light, or should I just let the darkness take me? I'm Georgia Rae Layton McCarthy and this is the story of me, just me. I'm no longer a part of an us, it's just me. Alone. By myself.

The Story of Me

Carnage

MARLEY A CARNAGE NOVEL From the author of Carnage 1&2, comes this follow up novel. Marley tells the story of Carnage from Marley Layton's POV. It will give you the missing years. Marley is a companion novel to Carnage 1&2 and both of those books should be read first. 'So, they want me to write a book? They want to know about my band, my life, my loves and my losses. But they have no idea what they're asking for. If I give them what they want, they'll get so much more than the sex and drugs and the rock and roll they're expecting. They'll get the secrets that I've kept for so long, they'll get an insight into the person I really am, or at least was. They think they know my story, they know nothing. If I do this, if I write honestly and give them the ugly truth, people will get hurt. People that I love, people that have already suffered in the worst possible ways. Do I do this, or do I walk away? Taking my secrets to the grave.' Marley is an adult contemporary romance. It contains content suitable only for grownups with an open mind. There are scenes of group sex which include m/f/m a little bit of f/m/m and even some f/f/f/m/m/f/f/f. There is drinking and drug taking involved. A lot of swearing, some Essex slang and some very high emotion. Please don't complain after reading this book that you wasn't warned. And yes, of course you'll need tissues.

A Carnage Novel

Marley

It's just a box of letters, right? Words that were written a long time ago. From a boy to the girl that he missed. From a man to the woman he loved. But what if those words carried more impact than anyone realised? Will they finally give Georgia the closure she needs and lessen the guilt she battles every day? Or will everything she thought she knew about the boy and man who wrote them and the life they shared be forever altered? All will be revealed in The Letters. A story about life, love, and acceptance. The Letters is a companion novella to the Carnage series. Carnage 1 & 2 and Marley. It is therefore recommended that these should be read first.

The Letters

She was mine. Our love, unquestioned. Our futures planned. But she didn't show. All that we had, all that we meant, and after all that was said, she just didn't show. That one act changed everything, but it especially changed me and from that moment on, there was no going back. No words of love, no whispered promises, just sex and drugs and rock and roll. No one gets a piece of Reed, but what they will get is the night of their life, the chance to let go, break their own rules and enjoy the best, the dirtiest, filthiest sex ever... along with the other four people in my bed. I thought he loved me, I believed everything he said, every promise that he made but then, when I needed him more than I'd needed anyone in my life, and when I was at my most vulnerable, he let me down. He chose to take a different path and leave me to pick up the pieces of my now broken life. I was changed forever and chose the easy option letting others take charge of my destiny, until, once again, I'm let down in the cruellest of ways. Dirty filthy sex. Love. Heartbreak. Betrayal. High emotion and angst. Everything and more that you would expect from a Lesley Jones novel.

Lauren, still reeling from the abuse she has suffered at the hands of her ex husband is not convinced that jumping straight into another marriage is the right thing for her, despite how much she loves Gabe, the sex is amazing, they have no problems there, with Gabe she is growing in confidence and trying things in the bedroom (and every where else) that she never even considered during her marriage but they have known each other for just 10 short weeks and already they have been through enough drama to last a lifetime. Lauren has once again been beaten and humiliated by her soon to be ex-Husband, Gabe has revealed he was sexually abused by his Step-Mother as a teenager, and Gabe's ex is threatening to stop him seeing his daughter.

Resolution is the conclusion of Gabe and Laurens story, it will take you on a roller coaster of emotions, with some steamy and erotic sex scenes, just to keep your pulse racing, like Saviour, some scenes are gut wrenching, it will have you laughing, crying and wanting to not only hug Gabe and Lauren but also wanting to shake some sense into them.

She's a smart mouthed, sassy Essex girl now living in Australia. He's a hot womanising, all surfing, beer drinking Aussie bloke. Lauren has been in a passionate marriage for over twenty years. She is successful, outwardly confident, and seems to have it all. On the inside, though, she harbours what she considers to be a humiliating secret. She is a victim of domestic violence and is terrified of her husband. Despite this fact, she is struggling to walk away from her marriage. After a few too many shots on a girls' night out, she confesses everything to her besties, and they help her decide to leave her husband the following day. Gabriel Wilde walks into a bar for a few Friday night beers with his brothers. The last thing he expects to find is the woman of his dreams, a woman who is as broken as him on the inside. They exchange numbers and agree to meet up the next morning so Lauren can view a property Gabe owns that Lauren may want to rent from him. On returning home that night, Lauren is brutally attacked by her husband. She escapes into the night with just the clothes she's wearing and her mobile phone. Who will become Lauren's Saviour? Originally from a small town on the Thames outside of London, Lesley Jones moved to Australia a few years ago and now lives with her family near Melbourne, Australia. She is a stay-at-home mum.

This really was the perfect way to end this amazing series. The writing was beautiful and the letters... wow, each and every one left me speechless.

Or will everything she thought she knew about the boy and man who wrote them and the life they shared be forever altered? All will be revealed in The Letters. A story about life, love, and acceptance. This novella is book 4 in the Carnage Series. Carnage books 1&2 and Marley should be read first.

LAUREN I met him on the most devastating night of my life. After twenty-four years, I discovered there's more than one way to break your marriage vows. The life I thought would always be mine was over, and I'm now facing it as a single woman in her forties. I need to get my life back on track--a job, somewhere to live, and time to get to know this new version of me. What I don't need is to be saved by Gabe, the gorgeous, thirty-five-year-old, blue-eyed god I met on a drunken girls' night out. Do I? GABE The night I met her, something shifted inside me. Burned and scarred in the past by a short-lived marriage, I like my relationships with women drama free and strictly confined to the bedroom. My focus and priority are on being a single parent to my daughter. But I'm weary of the one and done life. I want something more, something real, with someone who sees past the way I look, beyond my reputation and doesn't care about the worth of my family's business. What I don't need is to be fighting to prove to Lauren it's not me, her ex, or her past she needs saving from...it's herself. But I just can't stay away. Note: this book is a rewritten and expanded version of the previously published title, Saviour, book one.

It is now almost a decade since the identification of the Huntington's Disease gene and its mutation. Major advances in our understanding of the disorder have been made during this time. Since publication of the first two editions of this book, considerable progress has been made into understanding how the mutation causes the symptoms and brain pathology of HD. Experimental tools are in place to take this research further towards new therapeutic approaches. Due to these major advances, this well-established book has required radical updating. An international group of researchers and clinicians with specialist interests in Huntington's Disease have been commissioned to document the major recent advances in the genetics and neurobiology of the disease. Developments in our understanding of how the molecular basis of the disorder results in brain degeneration, with full coverage of transgenic animal models, neurochemical studies and advances in neuropathology are discussed in detail. The clinical sections.

It is now almost a decade since the identification of the Huntington's Disease gene and its mutation, during which time, major advances in our understanding of this disorder have been achieved. Since publication of the first two editions of this book, there have been considerable insights into how the mutation leads to the molecular pathology, neuropathology and clinical symptoms of Huntington's Disease, and experimental tools are now in place to take this research further towards new therapeutic approaches. As a result of these major advances, this well-established series of books has required radical updating. An international group of researchers and clinicians with specialist interests in HD has been commissioned to document the recent advances in our understanding of this disease. Developments in the fields of structural biology, cell biology, neurochemistry and neuropathology, with full coverage of transgenic animal models, are discussed in detail. The clinical sections cover genetic, neurological and psychiatric aspects as well as new developments in therapy. This book will continue to provide an invaluable source of information for clinicians and scientists involved with Huntington's Disease, including geneticists, psychiatrists and neurologists, and basic science research workers in genetics and neurobiology.
