Because this time, Kate will be taking on family… This foe may be too much even for Kate and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, to handle. One who’s been around for thousands of years-and rode to war at the side of Kate’s father. When she’s called in to investigate a fight at the Steel Horse, a bar midway between the territories of the shapeshifters and the necromancers, Kate quickly discovers there’s a new player in town. Unofficially, she cleans up the paranormal problems no one else wants to handle-especially if they involve Atlanta’s shapeshifting community. Kate Daniels works for the Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, officially as a liaison with the mercenary guild.

He places an advert encouraging the single ladies of the ton to write why they should be the one chosen, and leaves it to his efficient secretary to select his future wife. However, restoring the dukedom-left in ruins by his father-to its former glory demands all his time, with little room for sentiment. Hugh Brinsley-Norton, the Duke of Kingsland, is in need of a duchess. New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath continues her Once Upon a Dukedom series with this lush love story of a duke who discovers what he desires in a wife may not be what he needs… Ainsworth's last masterpiece, The Lancashire Witches proved a best-seller in its day and influenced many contemporary authors. Ultimately, the book becomes a struggle between Heaven and Hell, with Alizon's fate hanging in the balance. William Harrison Ainsworth’s The Lancashire Witches, published as a serial and then in book form in 1849, has the distinction of being one of the most popular Gothic novels ever written and one of the few that has never been out of printindeed, the only one of Ainsworth’s many novels that can make that claim. Mother Demdike, a powerful witch, and her clan face rival witches, raise innocent young Alizon Devi as their own, and try to corrupt Alizon despite her innocent ways. Dying, Paslew curses Demdike's offspring - who become the titular 'Lancashire Witches.' The rest of the book set in the 17th century. Years later, granted the powers of a warlock, he returns in the guise of Nicholas Demdike to witness Paslew's execution for treason.

London: The Biography - Ackroyd risks the hubris of the definite article - is an epic of celebration and assimilation, the absorption of libraries, the navigation of maps, the accessing of half-forgotten voices. Now it is time for a more demanding form of necromancy: the biographer must transcribe the last testament of the metropolitan corpse, a zone of "weariness and lassitude" staggering on the cusp of a new millennium. Ackroyd had maintained a gold-top literary profile by ventriloquising the dead - Blake, Wilde, Dickens, Eliot, Thomas More. All the contrary currents of London life are on display, the grand spectacles and sacrifices that have animated a fabulous 20-year project. Sensing that this is no longer a period for carefully contrived fictions, Ackroyd has returned to the material that inspired those fictions: fires, frauds, magicians, architects and emblematic children. Many years and millions of dollars later, he returned to find her, to repay her handsomely, but the house was gone and the neighbors knew not what had happened to the old woman. A little old lady at the side of the road had him in, gave him food and water and a bed to sleep in. As he tells the story, on his way to Memphis, riding a child's bicycle on that very hot summer day, he was hungry and dying of thirst. The amazing stories of a superstar that only someone like BB could write. The story of his life is, indeed, fascinating-how he worked his way up to as many as 290 shows per year how Lucille got her name how he had 17 children by 17 different women (or did he lose count?) how he wrecked a tour bus into a bridge at 4:00 am without insurance. I have read other autobiographies by Johnny Cash, Steven Tyler, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, George Carlin, but this was by far my favorite. And then fearing for his future there, he leaves his wife, runs away and rides a bicycle all the way to Memphis, Tennessee. It is quite the story how he gets out of the Mississippi delta after wrecking his landlord's tractor. This book is a great, great story, written by King himself, simply and artistically done just like the music he plays and creates. I am a blues lover and always have been, beginning with B.B. Liedloff died on Main Sausalito, California. She was a founding member of The Ecologist magazine. Her book is based on her experiences while living with the Yequana, and discusses in particular their style of child-rearing and its fundamental effect on their later lives. She wrote her book The Continuum Concept to describe her new understanding of how we have lost much of our natural well-being, and to show us practical ways to regain it for our children and for ourselves. Over time she became fascinated with the Yequana, and made a decision to return to Venezuela to live with them. You can learn more about Liedloff and her work at. She lectured in many countries where her views earned a substantial following and she was also a founding member of The Ecologist magazine. She is the aunt of writer Janet Hobhouse, and is represented by the character Constance in Hobhouse's book "The Furies."īorn in New York City in 1926, as a teenager she attended the Drew Seminary for Young Women and began studying at Cornell University, but began her expeditions before she could graduate.ĭuring a diamond-hunting expedition to Venezuela, she came into contact with an indigenous people named the Yequana. Jean Liedloff practiced and taught psychotherapy based on her book the Continuum Concept. Jean Liedloff was an American author, born in New York, and best known for her 1975 book The Continuum Concept. And yet, when it comes to geo-politics, much of what we are told is generated by analysts and other experts who have neglected to refer to a map of the place in question.Īll leaders of nations are constrained by geography. Whether ancient, crumbling parchments or generated by Google, maps tell us things we want to know, not only about our current location or where we are going but about the world in general. In this New York Times bestseller, an award-winning journalist uses ten maps of crucial regions to explain the geo-political strategies of the world powers-“fans of geography, history, and politics (and maps) will be enthralled” ( Fort Worth Star-Telegram ). While he faces the trials of maturing as a line officer, Sinclair also serves as his commanders' legal advisor-a role that brings him into close contact with the military legal system. The title character is a junior officer aboard the USS Michaelson, a military spaceship in peacetime conditions. The publisher promotes this series descriptively as " JAG, set in space". Faced with increasingly outrageous disregard for their survival, the enlisted soldiers mutiny under the leadership of Sergeant Stark, who then faces an uncertain path in dealing with the civilian colony they are based next to, as well as the Pentagon and US government. The series follows a conflict between US Army soldiers and their leadership during a campaign that takes place on the Moon.
