Michelle Cooper combines the drama of pre-War Europe with the romance of debutante balls and gives us another compelling historical page turner. Sophia FitzOsborne and the royal family of Montmaray escaped their remote island home when the Germans attacked, and now find themselves in the lap of luxury. Sophie's journal fills us in on the social whirl of London's 1937 season, but even a princess in lovely new gowns finds it hard to fit in. Is there no other debutante who reads?! And while the balls and house parties go on, newspaper headlines scream of war in Spain and threats from Germany. No one wants a second world war. Especially not the Montmaravians—with all Europe under attack, who will care about the fate of their tiny island kingdom? Will the FitzOsbornes ever be able to go home again? Could Montmaray be lost forever?

In this third installment of the Montmaray Journals, Sophie and her family come together to support the war effort during World War I, meanwhile fighting to protect their beloved Montmaray.

“There’s a fine line between gossip and history, when one is talking about kings.” Sophie Fitzosborne lives in a crumbling castle in the tiny island kingdom of Montmaray with her eccentric and impoverished royal family. When she receives a journal for her sixteenth birthday, Sophie decides to chronicle day-to-day life on the island. But this is 1936, and the news that trickles in from the mainland reveals a world on the brink of war. The politics of Europe seem far away from their remote island—until two German officers land a boat on Montmaray. And then suddenly politics become very personal indeed. A Brief History of Montmaray is a heart-stopping tale of loyalty, love, and loss, and of fighting to hold on to home when the world is exploding all around you. “Once in a while, a special book will cross our paths and make us grateful for life and the ability to read. I’m talking about A Brief History of Montmaray by Michelle Cooper. I’m calling her Australia’s next stroke of literary brilliance.”—Viewpoint

War came early to the FitzOsbornes when the Nazis bombed their island home - but now it comes to the world. How will they survive? The final book in the trilogy that is destined to become a much-loved classic. Sophie FitzOsborne and the royal family of Montmaray escaped their remote island home when the Nazis attacked. But now that war has come to England and the rest of the world as well, nowhere is safe. Sophie fills her journal with tales of a life in wartime. Stories of blackouts and the Blitz. Dancing in nightclubs with soldiers on leave. And desperately waiting for news of her brother Toby, last seen flying over enemy territory. But even as bombs rain down on London, hope springs up in surprising places, and love blooms. And when the Allies begin to drive their way across Europe, the FitzOsbornes take heart. Maybe, just maybe, there will be a way to liberate Montmaray - to go home again at last. Sometimes heart-stopping, sometimes heart-breaking, Sophie's story will, as always, capture readers' hearts.

In our world, we are sometimes met with evil and hatred. When Donald Trump decided that he was going to lift the ban on importing elephant remains into the United States, many were appalled. This is only part of the puzzle regarding trophy hunting, but it is a legal decision that legitimizes trophy hunting.Erin Foggoa and Michelle Cooper decided that enough was enough. They were going to effect change in a different way - similar to peaceful protesting, where protesters don't engage in the hate, Erin and Michelle encourage you to shift the energy of this topic by creating amazing, colorful images of these magnificent animals and sharing your art with the world. For every post on social media showing a person with a gun, standing on top of a wild animal that they just "hunted", they encourage you to post your image of the animal.Let's create change. Let's shift energy. Let's make our world a better place.

Mosquito-borne viruses represent some of the most devastating of the emerging infectious diseases. The Dengue viruses (DENv) that cause Dengue Fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome are examples of epidemic re-emerging human diseases. There are no vaccines available for DENv; and control programs rely on reducing populations of the principle vector, Aedes aegypti. Novel control strategies are essential and these will rely on a mechanistic understanding of the molecular and biochemical interactions between vectors and pathogens. While we have made great advances in our understanding of insect antibacterial and antiparasite defence mechanisms, the study of antiviral defences in insect vectors has lagged behind. Apoptosis is an antiviral response characterized in many organisms. The work presented here provides some basic information about the apoptotic machinery in Aedes aegypti, and establishes a role for apoptosis in various aspects of mosquito immunity. We describe the characterization four apoptosis-related genes; two initiator caspases, one caspase adaptor, and one inhibitor of apoptosis protein, which provides evidence for the conservation of cell death pathways in mosquitoes. The two initiator caspases, AeDronc and AeDredd, are involved primarily in development and immune signaling pathways, respectively. The caspase adaptor, AeFADD, interacts with AeDredd in-vitro, and also functions as part of the IMD antimicrobial immune signaling pathway. The Inhibitor of Apoptosis molecule (AeIAP1) provides a pro-survival signal to prevent unwanted cell death. Apoptosis was detected in midgut tissues of Ae. aegypti challenged with DENv. During the early stages of infection, we detected an up-regulation of the pro-apoptotic caspase, Aedronc. Subsequently, as AeIap1 transcripts increased, apoptosis declined. We hypothesize that apoptosis in midguts during virus invasion represents a host response to clear virus-infected cells, and suggest this process is mediated by AeIAP1. Whether the increase in AeIap1 is a host-mediated signal or a viral strategy to limit the clearance of apoptotic cells will be the subject of further research. Deciphering the mechanisms that enable insects to cope with infections is essential to our understanding of innate immunity and may influence our current understanding of how apoptosis fits into the antiviral defence strategies used by both vertebrates and invertebrates.
