Andre Rieu is a violinist, conductor and international classical music star, who has won the hearts of millions of music-lovers throughout the world with his extravagant concerts and sell-out tours. Born in the Netherlands in 1949, Andre started taking violin lessons at the age of five, the beginning of a love affair that would never end. As a student he was asked to take part in a salon ensemble and as he played his first waltz a whole new world opened up for him. From that time on Andre was hooked on the waltz rhythm and dreamt of creating a large orchestra that would enchant its audience. After recruiting his own 'Johann Strauss Orchestra', Andre began to tour. Crowned the "Waltz King", Andre's wish was to make classical music accessible for everyone, and this has undoubtedly come true. The Johann Strauss Orchestra has grown from strength to strength and now has up to 50 players, and the orchestra's first CD, 'From Holland with Love' (1994) stayed in the Top 10 chart in the Netherlands for over a year. Written by his wife, Marjorie Rieu, My Music My Life explores the story of Andre's youth; growing up in the Netherlands; the musical family he grew up in; his music studies; and his extraordinary success story as he went on to become a bestselling, international music star.

Ashley St. Helens realizes she’s lived a Cinderella story in this colorful crossover novel about a middle-American teen struggling with her self-esteem in a dysfunctional family. The story comes alive with funny fairytale twists, fresh character interpretations, emotionally resonant plot points, and laugh-out-loud allusions. The Souls of Her Feet can inspire conversations about responsibility, being passive or assertive, morality, waste, life choices, gender expression, and most importantly, cleaning house. Caven’s postmodern, self-aware emotional fantasy gives the fairy godmother a meaningful family relationship with Ashley’s lost parents. Inspired by a closeted gay family member who helped her find her own way, Caven’s drag queen uncle figure’s aesthetic sensibilities validate Ashley’s need for authenticity, and offer her a glamorous alternative to a world of tacky clutter and inane materialism. When she finally gets to the prom, wearing just the right shoes, the transformed Ashley finally feels seen. Soul-love and assisted self-rescue make her fairytale a reality. This new (4th) edition contains bonus materials such as essays by the main characters and songs from the forthcoming musical.

Ian Whitworth built national companies from nothing. Coronavirus hammered some of them flat. Yet he’s fine with that. Because when the chaos is swirling and shit is getting real, there’s opportunity. Now is the time to put yourself in control – where no boss or virus can take you down. So many talented people want to give it a shot, yet they’re held back by the big business myths. But success is simpler than your crusty CEO wants you to think. Ian built his businesses on simple rules, Year 6 maths, basic decency and no jargon. It generated profits that made the bank people say: ‘We’ve never seen anything like this before.’ Ian’s advice is so readable that many of his readers have no interest in commerce, they just like his dry humour and guidance on living a better life. He takes you step-by-step through the whole entrepreneur experience, from the day you open the doors through to when you pay others to run the place for you. There are 60 short and often surprising chapters in the trademark style of his popular 'Motivation for Sceptics' blog, from ‘Your Success Goals Are Built on Lies’ to ‘Business Whack-A-Mole Skills’ and ‘Remote Work Sucks Unless You're Old’. Whether you’re running your own business, leading someone else’s or freelancing, Undisruptable is the only handbook you need. And one you’ll actually enjoy reading to the end.
