The negotiator : a games people play Christmas novella
Lauren Gallagher's life changed almost three years ago. After her husband disappeared at sea, she was left with a failing pleasure boat company and more than a few secrets. Now, after years spent rebuilding the business and paying off the pile of debts, she finally feels in control. But when she finds her husband, actually dead, on the floor, she becomes the leading suspect in his murder investigation. Garrett McGrath wants Lauren in his bed, not his heart. He doesn't do emotions, but every time he sees her, holding himself back gets harder and harder. When Lauren comes under suspicion for killing her previously presumed-dead husband, he knows he has to help her, any way he can. But as the danger becomes more intense and Garret and Lauren grow closer than either planned, they're in danger of losing everything...including their hearts.-- [page 4 of cover]

Skin Hunger
\"If you wanted to hold me. If you wanted to hold me. Hold me and tell me it's okay\"
Skin Hunger is about the power of touch - a vital aspect of humanity that so many of us didn't realise we needed until it was restricted.
Written by Ann Akinjirin, Tim Crouch and Sonia Hughes Skin Hunger is a powerful live theatre experience which explores the fundamental role that touch plays in our lives, with refreshing humour and insight.
OFFIES WINNER 2022: IDEA Performance
Inspired by the plastic hug tunnels in Brazilian care homes, Dante or Die 's Artistic Directors devised a one-on-one performance exploring the role of touch in our lives. Skin Hunger gathers the writing of pioneering playwrights Ann Akinjirin, Tim Crouch & Sonia Hughes, along with reflections from the creative team, a foreword from a neuroscientist specialising in touch, and images from the original production that took place in a hidden chapel in London's West End.
\" My cheek is folded into his neck. He's speaking into my ear and I can feel his chest rising and falling against me. This hug is long, gentle, intimate and alien. Thanks to the huge sheet of plastic squeezed between us, covering us from head to toe and several feet further, it's also completely risk-assessed. \"
– The Guardian

Echo of silent wishes
In spite of many strategies apparently designed to create tolerance and to build bridges among the different people around the world, very little seems to have been achieved in this respect. \"Echo of Silent Wishes\" is all about the truth expressed in the words of wisdom of Josh Billings: \"Wisdom don't consist in knowing more that is new but in knowing less that is false\".The story of Heide and Abu is more than just the story of a failed marriage. It stands as an example for the problems that can occur in interracial relationships and for the traces left behind especially in the children of such families. It shows the impacts of cultural differences in multicultural homes and the challenges of illegal or legal migration and its social impacts and injustices. And last but not least, it is a very personal story about a good love and mutual responsibility in a relationship that, if neglected, must necessarily go bad. Thus, it tells a truth which, according to Herbert Agar, is the kind of \"truth that makes men free\", but \"is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear\". Yet, it is just this what enables us to see things from a different perspective and in this way to \"know less that is false\". https://de.linkedin.com/ http://www.theafricancourier.com/ http://www.nigeriandiaspora.com/ http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/
