When factory workers fall victim to horrifying accidents in Japan's oldest coat hanger factory, all fingers point at Hiroki Hiroto, the company's owner, and corporate pariah.Behind closed doors, his board stages an illegal coup to take over his business while factory workers call for his blood. His incredible wealth and powerful family connections will not save him from this fait accompli.While his company is under investigation for sabotage and on the verge of collapse, he suffers a major heart attack, and his wife and family abandon him while he fights for his life. After a heart transplant operation in a Hawaiian hospital, the donor's troublesome spirit begins taking over his life and down a slippery path; he does not want to go.Coat Hanger Empire is a tale of absolute power, blind greed, and a cry for justice with more hooks and turns than the coat hangers it makes.

This book is a light-hearted exploration of what Australia's 'Mad Men' and women get up to. Its central character is Dan Atkins, Creative Director of advertising agency ADD, but the story revolves around something much more serious; a government pitch where the PM, threatened with defeat in the forthcoming election, needs a climate change campaign that buys his government essential green votes. While he is the ultimate climate change denier, he is also the consummate politician. ADD is invited to pitch. We meet the advertising agency people. We discover how research groups are really ruling the world. And Dan goes from knowing very little about climate change to becoming aware and alarmed. This is thanks to Emma, who works at his local café and is doing a PhD in climate science. Dan starts falling in love. Dan's life away from work is complicated. He has a close relationship with his ex-wife Rachel, and an even closer one with two characters that appear in his subconscious - a limo-driving dwarf and an Emperor penguin. In the end the agency loses the pitch. The government loses the election, but Dan gets the girl - and not necessarily the one we think.

She was cast away from the tribe that she was born into because the situation of her birth dictated that she must not be allowed to live amongst the tribe by their primeval custom and tradition. She was believed to be a dark spirit's child. She was adopted by Christian parents and was raised with unconditional love and affection. But there were shadows that continually trailed her. So often, it's not physical harm that pierced her soul the most. In the mishmash of the good and the bad, the cruel and the kind, the pleasant and the ugly, she embraced life and navigated through it with the cloud of being an outcast hovering always over her shoulder. She was the last twin birth deemed by tribal custom to be buried alive before this tradition was stopped. This is her story.
With brutal honesty and heartfelt storytelling, Just Don't Think is a recount of how one man was able to freely teach thousands about breaking free from overthinking, self-doubt, crippling fear and even addiction. In Just Don't Think, Mark Ward reinvents the life-lessons taught to him by his closest friend and mentor of over three decades. Humorously written with plenty of reality checks, if you have ever wondered why you have so many negative thoughts or even struggle to get out of bed some mornings, than this book is a must. Fix your thinking and learn to be perfectly human in an imperfect world. "Why do some people seemingly end up with a big fat kiss on the ass from God and people like me constantly struggle? I asked Handshake this often and he never had a definitive answer, but he had a solution. His solution was to simply face up to all that baggage that constantly stops us from living the life that we want. It can take months, years or even decades, but it is an important journey that is worth taking. If I were to pinpoint what this book is primarily about, it would be how Handshake took me and many others on a journey to discover our power. By doing this, he was able to help many solve some major issues including addiction, gambling, self-destruction and many other destructive behaviours."
Perfect for fans of Carlos Ruiz Zafón's The Shadow of the Wind and Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, Eskar Wilde's memoir-styled literary fiction debut, The Memories of Eskar Wilde, is a coming-of-age tale of secrets and discovery, love and loss, and guilt and penance. I'm no author. I don't know how to structure my "story" in a conventional way, though I am now inclined to tell it. If you possess sufficient patience and a willingness to forgive my amateurish storytelling, I'll explain to you how I came to be in a small Paris apartment on my eighteenth birthday, with only my faithful black cat and a bottle of Domaine Leroy Richeborg 2000 for company. My mother insists that I record my feelings and experiences from the past five years. I have been told that the exercise may be therapeutic.When Eskar and his mother travel from Australia to France for his father's funeral, no one suspects that the one-week stay would turn into months, then years. Eskar is perplexed by the circumstances surrounding his father's untimely death - circumstances that fuel his suspicions that his father was a spy, or worse, an assassin. Then, there is the discovery that his father purchased a family plot at the Pere Lachaise and was to be buried there, not to mention the large gathering the funeral attracted - eighty or so mourners, most of whom Eskar does not know. Who are they? And who is the stately old Madame Marbot, who turned her chilling glare upon Eskar? Then there is Brie, the far-from ordinary kitten whom his friends believe embodies the spirit of Eskar's father. All the while, Eskar can't help but maintain an excruciating conduct in denying and suppressing his deep love for his newfound friend, Sophie. Filled with rich descriptions of Paris and Vaucluse, the French culture, and the divine food, wine, and bistros, Eskar's account is stylistically complex and hauntingly beautiful in the way bittersweet youth memories are. Follow him as he delves into his father's past and unravels the mystery of his life and death. Filled with unpredictable turns, witty humor, and a dash of magical realism, The Memories of Eskar Wilde is the perfect modern escape for anyone who has enjoyed the works of authors like John Irving, Jane Austen, F.Scott Fitzgerald and Gabriel Garcia-Marquez.
