      • The Glass Slipper Literary Agency

        The Glass Slipper Literary Agency is a full-service literary agency that seeks to excavate, unearth and unveil stories that provoke, trigger, inflame, inspire and awaken, bringing diverse, marginalized and globally appealing voices to the world. We work with authors and publishers across the Americas, Europe, UK, and South Asia. We aim to change the face of the publishing industry by increasing diversity and evoking marginalized and underrepresented voices, including BIPOC,  LGBTQIA, neurodivergent, and/or differently-abled authors.   We proactively nurture writers across the world and take them through every stage of the roller-coaster that is intrinsic to getting published and/or having your work optioned for on-screen adaptation spanning films, TV shows, web series, and more. We believe in developing and furthering the careers of our authors, also helping them build a solid presence across all traditional and non-traditional media, worldwide. Beyond the contours of traditional representation to publishers, we brainstorm potential new projects, orchestrate all book rights for our clients, including translation, republication and entertainment rights, and actively pitch our authors and their works for slots in prime TV shows, print and electronic media outlets, including but not limited to, interviews, Q&As, book reviews and longer-form features on our writers and their works.

Other tools enable us to break through annoying circular thoughts, to step back from a burdensome issue or problem, to think freely, and to make a decision without being influenced by outer things. Other tools may initiate a liberation of our heart power, thepower to self-heal, or help make it possible to send healing to animals, plants, or our planet. Through practically utilizing these light tools, we may gain an experience which shows us, that many more possibilities and paths are open to us than we have hitherto believed.A light lives inside each one of us, which shines and is unique. We all possess an internal compass, which we can rely on, and which may both securely and with loving care, lead us to experiences of being alive, full of joie de vivre, sensory joy and full of power.But how – or where – can we enter into this state?Locations exist, among them so-called power places, to which entry may be gained in a magical way, both easily and quite naturally. In this volume, we learn how we may access the sacred consciousness-field of such portal locations, even from our own homes. We may connect with such places even without taking long journeys. Every power placeis unique – just as we human beings are. Each power place possesses its very own energy field, which may open within us a special potential and a certain “inner door” to ourselves.

      • DESPERATELY SEEKING BOWIE

        by Ian Castello-Cortes

        No one is bigger than Bowie. From the moment he created Ziggy Stardust, through all his subsequent incarnations, to his elegantly curated, but tragic, death, he remains the ultimate music icon. Desperately Seeking Bowie gets right under the skin of his extraordinary life, following him from modest beginnings in surburban south London, through the outrageous orgiastic partying of the 1970s, to his near death from Cocain addiction in LA, the intensely creative period in Berlin, to his astounding re-emergence after Glastonbury in 2000. What a journey. With a great insightful text, great photos and fascinating maps, this is a 100% must for any Bowie fan – old or young (and there are tons of the latter).

        Evil Angels Among Them

        by Kate Charles

        Peaceful' is the most common entry in the visitors book of fifteenth-century St Michael's Church, with its glorious angel roof and its medieval Doom painting. But away from the church, and beneath the idyllic veneer, the tiny Norfolk village of Walston is anything but harmonious. The Rector's new bride, Becca Thorncroft, is receiving phone calls so unpleasant that her very sanity is at stake; and the newest residents of Walston, Gillian English and Lou Sutherland, are not exactly welcomed with open arms. Then sudden, gruesome death shatters any remaining semblance of serenity. Fortunately for Father Stephen Thorncroft, he is able to enlist the help of his friends Lucy Kingsley and David Middleton-Brown to unravel the tangled relationships and uncover the dark motivations of the villagers. As the investigation proceeds, they stumble on more than they'd bargained for. But it is not until a little girl goes missing that the final, deadly pieces fall into place in their search for the 'evil angels among them'.

        This Good Book

        by Iain Hood

        ‘Sometimes I wonder, if I had known that it was going to take me fourteen years to paint this painting of the Crucifixion with Douglas as Jesus, and what it would take for me to paint this painting, would I have been as happy as I was then?’ Susan Alison MacLeod, a Glasgow School of Art graduate with a dark sense of humour, first lays eyes on Douglas MacDougal at a party in 1988, and resolves to put him on the cross in the Crucifixion painting she’s been sketching out, but her desire to create ‘good’ art and a powerful, beautiful portrayal means that a final painting doesn’t see the light of day for fourteen years. Over the same years, Douglas’s ever-more elaborately designed urine-based installations bring him increasing fame, prizes and commissions, while his modelling for Susan Alison, who continues to work pain and suffering on to the canvas, takes place mostly in the shadows. This Good Book is a wickedly funny, brilliantly observed novel that spins the moral compass and plays with notions of creating art.
