New Releases by Karen Phillips

Boxing, Vintage Trailers, and Cozy-Noir Murder - In the rural backdrop of the Sierra Foothills, things move at a leisurely pace. But when retired twin sisters find the local trailer restorer dead at a vintage trailerfest, suddenly, life in the foothills is anything but... "A Deadly Combo" is the first book in the Rocky Nelson Boxing Mystery Series - a perfect series for lovers of small town mysteries with a cozy-noir feel that features boxing and an amateur sleuth who will stop at nothing to save the lives of those she loves. Fans of #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich''s Stephanie Plum will enjoy this fast-paced read.

"A crash site memorial for a daughter is disturbed by road workers, a son goes missing after an earthquake, a husband struggles with his wife going into dementia care, grandparents meet-up with a grandchild they lost contact with when his parents divorced, a late-in-life relationship is broken apart when his health declines, a couple who lease out their basement flat discover a former tenant has been linked to a murder ...Each of Karen Phillips’ stories is like the glass houses in the title story – small pieces, some opaque and some translucent, that offer glimpses of ordinary families whose lives are coming apart, sometimes in ways imperceptible to the outside eye. Memories of a kinder past are one way to pull things back together and simple humanity is another, but sometimes the answer is where you least expect it."--Publisher information.

A write-right-in-it book to share with your friends. A Canadian Toy Testing Council 3-Star Award winner! A while back, we published a little book called It''s All About Me, a collection of personality quizzes for girls. Clearly we hit a sweet spot because today, half a million copies later, that book is still going strong. And now it''s getting a new best friend. It''s All About Us is a journal of super-nosey surveys for girls to fill out right in the book. Subjects range from food to fashion to friendship to the very tween "total randomosity." More than 300 different questions reveal everything you never thought to ask yourself, let alone anyone else. Since everything is better when you share, each survey is repeated three times, in three different colorways. Once you''ve taken a survey, turn the page and pass the journal and its matching pen to a friend. Or a relative. Or a brand-new acquaintance. Basically, anyone willing to share just a little too much information. Then compare results. The beauty of it is, even if the answers are different, everyone will still be right. Especially you. Previously published as What About You?

If any single, universal truth binds the brotherhood of man, it is this: Kids love hitting targets. Or at least aiming for them. The video game industry owes its existence to this reality - but the virtual world pales in comparison to the satisfying real-life THONK! of a palpable hit. Celebrate that shoot-''em-up energy with Coin Blasters, a collection of competitive table-top target games in a book. The coin blasters themselves are sturdy plastic chutes we''ve painstakingly custom-molded to hold a coin steady and upright on its edge. With a simple flick of a finger, and a smidgen of practice, anyone can send that coin zooming with surprising speed and accuracy straight at the target. And what targets! The book is full of awesome paper engineering, resulting in a wide array of games. Take slap shots at a hockey goalie, shoot baskets at the Hot Shot Blaster Hoop, knock the teeth out of a monster''s mouth, flick a nickel field foal, and rescue pennies from a well-protected, uber-fortified, piggy bank prison. Ten different games test your coin-blasting mastery and let you dominate the kitchen table. Now that''s how you manage your money.

Like any journal, Write in White Doodle Journal is specially designed to fill with your personal brand of creativity. But, unlike other journals, there''s not a lot of blank white space inside.

Freestyle doodling space shares the page with cool designs to trace, embellish, or cover completely with your own artwork. Clever idea-starters help overcome that what-do-I-draw anxiety, and simple prompts get beginning journal-keepers comfortable expressing their thoughts. Altogether it''s an irresistible invitation to self-expression. Turns out the only thing cooler than doodling on white is doodling in white.

Barriers to inspiration. Barriers to communication. Barriers to movement and achievement. Barriers that can be passed in one direction only. Many poems in Past the Barrier cross a dividing line of one sort or another. Settings range from the neighbourhood and bush to the ancient world and outer space, taking in a few lost years in Europe along the way. Various poetic forms are explored. Grounded in the poetry of the everyday, the poems display underlying preoccupations: utopia, dystopia and apocalypse; memory, grief and time. Some suggest that the barrier between the living and the dead may be more porous than it seems.
