Broken and humiliated by her husband of ten years leaving her unexpectedly, Sophia Meadows muddles through her daily routine-writing computer programs and rarely leaving the house. That is, until an old friend from university shows up on her door with an offer she can't refuse: a chance to get away and heal in the Scottish Highlands of Inverness by flat-sitting. Yet once she arrives, she soon discovers the offer is not what she bargained for: A police surveillance team is watching her every move and a mysterious man is after the contents of a safe hidden in a wall. After a break-in at the apartment, her path collides with DI Marcus Armstrong, the man in charge of the apartment surveillance. Sophia is swept into an investigation of fraud involving her university friend and into a sudden attraction with the handsome DI who finds himself drawn to her even though she's a suspect in his case. With evidence piling up against her and her friend and the attraction between her and Marcus growing stronger, Sophia is forced to confront her broken heart and find a way to clear her name. In a tangled web of secrets and clues, can she and the DI work through their attraction and learn to trust each other in time to stop a criminal and possibly save a life?

Those We Trust

One of the most highly acclaimed Irish comedies of recent years, A Night in November is a hard and humourous look at the Protestant tradition in Northern Ireland. Kenneth McCallister is a dole clerk who tolerates his marriage, his in-laws and Ulster until, on the fateful night in November in Belfast, as the Republic of Ireland qualifies against Northern Ireland for the World Cup, he finds himself watching the sectarian hatred of the crowd rather than the match. A Night in November follows Kenneth McCallister on his rebellious journey as he decides to travel to New York to join the joyous caravan of supporters following the Republic's soccer team. As he crosses the tarmac at Dublin airport, he looks back at his entirely predictable existence, roars with laughter and boards a flight into the unknown. Not a play about football but about one man who suddenly realises that he can have a hand in his own destiny.

A Night in November

A small farming village in County Kerry, Ireland, where a new Hollywood film is being shot, serves as the setting for this hilarious and affecting comedy.

Stones in His Pockets

Ever wonder why you dream what you dream? Your subconscious mind is trying to tell you something via images, symbols, and all kinds of bizarro, strange encounters. But their meanings many not be evident right away. That's not how the subconscious works. It's a total jackass. It won't come right out and tell you what it means. Don't you hate that? It's like a bad mime or a toddler trying to tell you what he wants for breakfast. Try writing down your dreams upon awakening and see if an interpretation comes to you via signs, synchronicities, intuitions, or two-by-fours across the head. This handy dandy journal will help you keep track of your nightly dreams so you can revisit them at any time and see if the meaning has become clear.

Stalking is not love is my account of what my family and I have gone through since I left my ex-husband. It details 3 years of us being stalked, from high speed chase to emails. I refuse to live a life of fear, a life that is non-functional. I will not feel guilty about not loving someone. A person has the right to end a relationship if they are not happy, the right not be harassed or stalked. Stalking is not love, it is a crime. It also is one of the hardest crimes to be convicted of. I know because I am currently experiencing this very situation. I receive emails, phone calls and have had the passwords on personal accounts changed because the stalker knows my SSN. The stalker parks his car down the street from my home and sits for hours. When he gets fed up he rings my doorbell angrily and leaves. These are just a few of the things I go through daily. I know there are others who are going through the same thing that I am currently experiencing. Some who are hurt or has lost their lives. Maybe our stories can come together and form a band of women, men, boys, girls, people or simply the stalked and be heard. We need help. Stalking is not love. I have a father that has loved me since birth. My father protected me and kept me safe. I have five brothers that love me dearly. I know what it is like to be truly loved by a man. I have a heavenly father tha tloves me unconditionally and protects me. God is my source and refuge. A person would not hurt what they love.
