It all started with The Saving. Eight-years-ago they'd taken Skye and brought her up to believe that she'd been saved. That no one existed in the outside world anymore, that they'd all fought until no one was left.
She was taken to The Standing, a large, windowless building that spanned for miles. Every aspect of her life was controlled by the Elders, who claimed they'd saved her and all the other children they'd taken.
Skye didn't remember much about the outside world but her friend Marci had started too and one night she'd told Skye, the next day when she'd woken-up Marci had gone.
Things in The Standing started to alter. First there was Elena, the quiet, clumsy girl who had turned up in Marci's place and then there was her friend West who said he'd seen an Outsider in the corridors of The Standing.
Skye started to question if everything they'd been told was true or if people from the outside really had survived. Gradually the desire to escape The Standing and see the outside world for herself became all that she could think about doing. Would she escape? Would she survive?"

Dealing sensitively with the shocking realities of state-sanctioned physical abuse and its aftermath, Bird of Passage is a powerful story of cruelty, loss and enduring love.
1960s Scotland. Young Finn O’Malley is sent from Ireland to work at the potato harvest and soon forms a close friendship with Kirsty Galbreath, the farmer’s red-headed grand-daughter. But Finn is damaged by a childhood so traumatic that he can only recover his memories slowly. What happened at the brutal Industrial School to which he was committed while still a little boy? For the sake of his sanity, he must try to find out why he was sent there, and what became of the mother he lost. As he struggles to answer these questions, his ability to love and be loved in return is called into question.
When Kirsty moves away from home to study in Edinburgh, the threads that have bound these two friends so closely together begin to unravel. Only Kirsty’s ambitions as an artist can give her the fulfilment she seeks. But her work is tied up with her affection, not just for the island, but for Finn, who comes and goes, like the corncrake, a summer visitor. Many years later, India, a successful folk musician, returns to the small island where she was born, to unravel the mysterious and tragic love story which has remarkable significance for herself.

When state conservation officer Tony Leach responds to an emergency call about a hunter who has been shot and killed at a deer camp in the woods of northern Minnesota, there’s no way he can be prepared for the twisted web into which he’s been thrust.
Five years removed from a stint with the Minneapolis Police Department, Tony Leach is a conservation officer for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Content to spend his days in the woods and on the water enforcing fishing and hunting laws, he thought he’d left violent crime behind when he left the city. But a single call from dispatch two days before the deer-hunting season opens changes that.
Now, he’s pushed into working a case he really shouldn’t be involved with, and digging for the truth in the death of a noted political operative that some high-powered people would prefer remain buried in the northern Minnesota woods. As Leach pursues those responsible, he finds people and things aren’t exactly what they seem. And as the investigation goes on and the web unravels, it becomes increasingly clear the only way for it to end is with a killer’s – or his – demise.
