Set against the restless backdrop of 1967, *Never Date an Actor* is a coming-of-age story about ambition, desire, and the cost of choosing yourself in a world determined to define you.Susie Harper is a nineteen-year-old working-class girl from a small town that expects its women to marry young, stay quiet, and never ask for more. But Susie wants words-stories, ink-stained fingers, and a life shaped by her own voice. When she defies her family and enrols at Riverside University, she steps into a world alive with protest, creativity, and possibility.There, she finds herself caught between two intoxicating forces: the promise of becoming a writer and her growing attraction to Daniel Hartman, a charismatic theatre student whose charm is as dangerous as it is magnetic. As Susie navigates friendships, creative failure, artistic awakening, and first love, she must confront a truth shes been warned about since childhood-some passions uplift you, and others consume you.Rich with period detail and emotional honesty, *Never Date an Actor* explores female ambition, artistic identity, and the delicate line between loving someone and losing yourself. It is a story about finding your voice-and learning when to protect it.

Women in the Middle Ages led fascinating and often wildly differing everyday lives, depending on their social class and family situation. Yet their wealth of experience has long been obscured and overshadowed by the experiences of men, with history books often relegating women to a single, catchall chapter, as if their lives formed a unified story.While a number of medieval women have claimed biographers attention, they tend to be the exceptional figures who broke the mould. What, then, of the countless others who were not exceptional and who did not blaze a new trail? How did their family lives and the constraints imposed upon them influence the ways in which they lived, worked, rejoiced, grieved and shaped their world?The Family Lives of Medieval Women turns the spotlight on these women and examines how the concept of family impacted every aspect of their existence, whatever their social class. It draws us into bustling towns and rural villages, into courts and castles, to meet secular women of every standing and learn about their lived experiences. For the first time, the full spectrum of the female familial experience is considered, illuminating the lives of medieval women with the depth, nuance and humanity they have always deserved.

We dont stop running because we get old. We get old because we stop running.Is it inevitable that our running performance slides as we get into our forties and beyond? Or are there things we can do to slow or even pause the decline, master our midlife and use experience as a superpower and become an ageless ace?In Run Forever, record-breaking GB ultrarunner Damian Hall, fifty, examines the reasons why our strength and speed might deteriorate, yet how it isnt certain if we choose to do something about it. In running, like other sports, there have been phenomenal performances from masters athletes, and while ageing is unavoidable, how we age isnt. Becoming an ageless ace has potentially extraordinary healthspan and longevity benefits away from running.Featuring chapters on speed, strength, mindset, sleep and nutrition, Hall draws on the knowledge of experts and shares the stories of other runners including five-time Olympian and European 10,000 metres champion Jo Pavey, and record-breaking ultrarunner Nicky Spinks to provide advice for how we can keep running strong and enjoying it for as long as possible. World-renowned sports dietician, author and ultrarunner Renee McGregor explains how ageing affects female runners, especially around perimenopause and menopause, and leading strength and conditioning coach Pete Stables provides knowledge and exercises for the masters athlete.Ageing is inevitable. Slowing down is optional. Run Forever gives you the tools to keep moving stronger, smarter, longer.
