Heading to the other side of the world on your own as a single woman is one of the most exciting adventures you could ever embark on - but also one of the most daunting.

Buying the the ticket is just the easy part.

You have to pack for life on the road, figure out how to make friends, and learn how to stay safe - whilst also having an amazingly good time.

From homesickness, to hostel life, to romance, and to sky diving over Rio –Travel and the Single Girl looks at the emotions you’ll go through, as well as providing the all the detailed advice you'll need for a successful trip.

Whether you’ve just booked your ticket, you’re waiting at the terminal or sitting on a hostel bunk wondering what to do next, Travel and The Single Girl is the one accessory you can't afford to be without.

Drawing on her own experiences, and those of all the brilliant single girls she met on her travels, Jenny Stallard has written the most complete guide for single women available.

Jenny Stallard is a freelance writer and editor who worked her way from local newspaper journalism to freelancing for the weekly and monthly women’s magazines. In September 2011 she took herself off to South America, exploring Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile, fulfilling a lifelong dream to visit Machu Picchu. After all that hard work she took a much-needed break and moved to France to finish the ski season, where she waitressed, taught seasonnaires French and managed to fall over so badly skiing that she cracked a brand new helmet. Thanks to the helmet she is now alive and well enough to enter the world of e-books.

‘I was born in Britain, and when I was growing up I sincerely believed I was fortunate to be able to call this rain-lashed rock my home. That warm, cosy feeling of innate superiority vanished some time ago, and I now look towards my birthplace from a distance, and with something approaching despair.’

So begins Thomas Payne, in the introduction to ‘Uncommon Sense: The Zero-Tolerance Guide to Political Correctness.’

Written by a best-selling thriller writer, working under a pseudonym, ‘Uncommon Sense’ is a double-barrelled, sawn-off shotgun assault on the state of Britain, Europe, and the world. In blunt, uncompromising language, Thomas Payne takes apart the political correct shibboleths of our time with a surgical fury.

From Afghanistan to Bankers, and from Speed Cameras to Vitamins, an A-Z of muddled thinking is systematically blown apart. This is a book that will open your eyes to the absurdities of the world the political class have created – and make you laugh out loud at the same time.

Nothing and nobody comes out of this book unscathed.

This is a book for the young and old, men and women, fans of Jeremy Clarkson and Thomas Paine alike.

‘Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he can rob the world.’

From Lehman Brothers to The Royal Bank of Scotland to Barclays, the pin-stripped demons of Wall Street and the City of London have bought the global economy to its knees.

But Mark Leigh is here to lighten the mood.

‘Crash! The Official Bankers Joke Book’ is a laugh-out-loud guide to the absurdities of the financial system.

Greedy brokers.

Venal lenders.

Pitiless managers.

And call centres that would turn Mother Theresa into a chainsaw-wielding maniac.

They are all here in all their hilarious detail.

A banker was taking a shortcut across a field when he stepped in some cow dung. Looking down he shouted, “My god, I’m melting!”

I’m not saying that the customer service in my local bank is bad, but when I went in and asked the cashier to check my balance she leaned over and pushed me.

The definition of optimism: a city banker who irons five shirts on a Sunday.

Meet Rupert Hood. Every day, he joins the sweaty commuters travelling to Putney, in south-west London, where he has a seemingly dull job as an estate agent.

But this property company is not what it seems. And neither is Rupert.

It is a front - for the UK's intelligence service.

When a series of deadly terror strikes begin, Rupert swings into action.

But he faces a test as challenging and deadly as any in his career.

The terror plot leads not to al-Qaeda, or any other known threat. It leads to Big Mama, a former sex worker who built up her own criminal empire in Thailand before going global.

But Big Mama is a woman with a grudge - and not just against the pimps and sex traffickers who ruined her youth.

And as Rupert is about to discover, Operation Herod is a threat to all mankind.

Operation Herod is a brilliantly fast-paced, gripping action thriller in the style of the great masters of the genre - Ian Fleming, Len Deighton and Jack Higgins.

Andrew Cartmel's roller-coaster thriller has been widely praised.

"With a luckless spy and a formidable femme fatale, Operation Herod is a bright and fast-moving entertainment of double lives and double-dealing. The spirit of the 60s espionage thriller takes on new life and vigour in the hands of Andrew Cartmel." - Stephen Gallagher

''Cartmel's writing is a Heckler & Koch automatic wrapped in expensive lingerie. Brutal, exciting, engaging and witty. In the words of a woman who knew her spies: 'Nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest." - Guy Adams, best-selling author of The Change.

He is orphaned and alone.

Killiney Court is a secure, heavily-guarded and recently refurbished block of luxury flats, home to a host of quiet and respectable tenants in the midst of peaceful Lincolnshire.

But one day the security of the community is shattered.

Ray Jones is horrifically murdered in the middle of the night.

Who killed him? And how?

The block has round-the-clock security, and there are no signs of forced entry.
Detective Inspector Paul Amos believes that can only mean one thing. The murderer must be a resident of Killiney Court.

Yet all is not as it seems.

Ray Jones is a businessman who has collected countless enemies from a lifetime of wheeling and dealing; with such a lengthy list of enemies, finding the murderer seems impossible.

But Amos is a detective who never gives up.

As he delves deeper into the mystery, he discovers that money is never dead - but that people will sometimes kill for it.

'Dead Money' is a gripping murder mystery novel that will keep you hooked until the very last page. It brilliantly combines the suspense and character of the traditional masters of the British detective story such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie with the grittier story-telling of modern writers such as Peter James, Peter Robinson and Ian Rankin.

"A fantastic read." - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of Trade-Off.

"Kept me guessing to the last page - and still surprised me. A gripping read." - Robert Foster, best-selling author of The Lunar Code.

Rodney Hobson is an author and journalist.

The 82-year-old socialite and heiress Irene Silverman vanished from her Upper East Side mansion.

A fifty-strong team of FBI and NYPD officers scoured the city's streets, trying to find an old woman who had vanished without trace.

No one knew if she was dead or alive.

Huw ap Gryffydd is the Lord of two tiny but proud and ancient Welsh islands - Yns Becod and Yns Tad

When the Her Majesty’s Royal Mail has the effrontery to replace the names with mere postal zip codes his heritage is under threat.

And he is determined to fight back.

And before the hapless British Prime Minister can even attempt to say, ‘Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysili ogogogoch,’ ap Gryffydd has whipped his 2,000 colourful islanders into a Celtic frenzy.

They make a Unilateral Declaration of Independence from the mainland and vow to stand, man, woman and child, against any threat to their ancient autonomy.

Centuries earlier the Romans had sensed the power and peril of the wrath of the sleeping Welsh dragon, trembled in their togas, and left well enough alone. But that has all been forgotten in Westminster’s corridors of power.
