THE BONE CLOCKS
David Mitchell
"This novel will be one of the most talked-about books of the year." — Booklist
Following a terrible fight with her mother over her boyfriend, fifteen-year-old Holly
Sykes slams the door on her family and her old life. No typical teenage runaway,
Holly is a lightning rod for psychic phenomena. Now, as she wanders deeper into
the English countryside, visions and coincidences reorder her reality. For Holly has
caught the attention of a cabal of dangerous mystics — and their enemies. But her
lost weekend is merely the prelude.

"The character development is richly detailed and intense; you will find yourself
painting mental pictures of each player in their pivotal roles while speculating about their connection to Holly.
The intricate side-narratives move the story line along quickly with unexpected, nonlinear twists and exciting turns
that make it difficult to find a "stopping point" in which to put the book down; the first 50 pages fly by! The detail
and multiple perspectives make this story unpredictable and strangely real. Sociopaths, vigilantes, paranormal
beings, and George Bush . . . but wait, there's more!" — Kristi Haman

ELEPHANT COMPANY
The Inspiring Story of an Unlikely Hero and the Animals Who Helped Him Save Lives
in World War II
Vicki Constantine Croke
"The story of friendship, loyalty and breathtaking bravery that transcends species . . .
A sweeping tale, masterfully written." — The New York Times Book Review
Billy Williams came to Burma in 1920, fresh from World War I, to work for a British
teak company. Mesmerized by the intelligence, character, and even humor of the
great animals who hauled the logs, he became a gifted "elephant wallah." When
the Japanese invaded in 1942, Williams joined Force 136, the British dirty tricks
department, and his war elephants carried supplies, built bridges, and transported
the sick and elderly — until a price was put on his head.

Autobiography § Releases 1/21/15
"This is the uplifting and little-known story of J. H. "Billy" Williams, a quietly charismatic WWII veteran who travels
to Burma to work in the teak industry. In search of tranquility and adventure, Billy becomes a skilled "elephant
whisperer." When Japanese forces invade Burma, Billy's elephants carry supplies, build bridges, and transport
refugees over mountainous terrain. While filled with historical detail, the short chapters move quickly and make
for an easy and engaging read. The abundant period photography is a bonus. Animal lovers will fall for this
heartfelt story about the bond between man and beast. You'll never view elephants in quite the same way
again." — Kristi Haman
