Romance-challenged Cady, owner of Cady's Cakes, thinks it's time to give up on love. She's content to bake her cakes and roast her coffee in her Old Saybrook shop after her six-year relationship fizzles.
But then, she never expected to run into someone like Doc, the just-retired Army medic back from Afghanistan. Hardly warm and fuzzy, Doc is rough around the edges, intense, and not afraid to ask the tough questions. When her teenage employee, Daisy, becomes the target of a murderous plot at the shop, Doc inserts himself into the equation with determination to get to the bottom of things. Who's behind it and why? Daisy's father, Doug, took off with his mistress, Mimi, in the middle of her mother's cancer treatment, creating a local scandal.
The divorce, the ugly custody battle, and a new set of triplets creates complications for Doug and his very ambitious wife, Mimi, now poised to take on a prestigious job in their new locale. Doug presses yet again for custody of Daisy and her little brother, Dylan, even knowing how much stress it causes his ex-wife. Cady worries that Daisy's mother won't survive all the calamity.

But her world is turned upside down in less than 24 hours, starting with a kiss from a mysterious masked man in the woods. Sam Hogan, counter-terrorism specialist, is different — he shakes, rattles, and rolls his way into her world with a bang. A part-time resident, Jonathan Klarsfeld, is murdered at his lakeside cabin while working on an antiterrorist software program for Ramparts Manufacturing and his family is taken hostage.
Gabby is thrust into a very different kind of law enforcement situation that challenges her skills, her knowledge, and her resolve. When the brutal terrorists converge on Latimer Lake and threaten her idyllic Vermont village and its pastoral way of life, Gabby refuses to surrender. With gumption and guts, she and her colleagues wage war on the bad guys and the wild chase is on. Offered by lacymaran author: Would love a review, but it's not required.

The Opium Eater is a highly readable account of the life of a key Romantic author who is also a cult figure and the father of literary drug-culture.
A natural rebel and loner, he discovered opium as an Oxford student and became a lifelong addict. A leading author of his time, De Quincey was dogged by scandal and debt.

Offered by fglaysher author: The book will be in PDF. I'd appreciate a review on LibraryThing, Goodreads, Amazon, or any other site or publication you prefer. My epic poem, The Parliament of Poets, has just been published, and much of the background study for it took place throughout the writing of The Grove of the Eumenides, so I hope readers will enjoy reconsidering this book of essays in light of my epic.
Narayan, among others, from mimesis and deconstruction to the United Nations, with extensive essays on Chinese, Japanese, and South-Asian literature. Clearly the work of a poet-critic attempting to embrace a larger portion of human experience than the personal postmodern self, The Grove of the Eumenides reaches toward an epic vision of the twenty-first century. All the muck and glory of American and international experience and history mix in the complex tension of a mind struggling with itself and its age. Acutely perceptive of the spiritual and moral nuances of literature, criticism, and culture, Glaysher confronts the loss of religious faith in the modern world and breaks through to a vision of the unity of the human longing for transcendence.
At the college and university level, he taught American and non-Western literature, world religions, etc. Glaysher lived for more than fifteen years outside Michigan—in Japan, where he taught at Gunma University in Maebashi; in Arizona, on the Colorado River Indian Tribes Reservation, site of one of the largest internment camps for Japanese-Americans during WWII; in Illinois, on the central farmlands and on the Mississippi; ultimately returning to his suburban hometown of Rochester.

Author George Hosier is a long time Alaskan who currently resides in the interior town of Delta Junction at the terminus of the Alcan Highway.

Experience the Last Frontier's weather, wildlife and whimsy from a perspective that is guaranteed to elicit a belly laugh and more than one wry grin.

In the event of a problem with Smashwords, I will provide a copy, in the reader's format of choice, directly to the reader. For a while, it seemed as if the good times would never end, that mankind had truly become masters of our own universe, gods in our own right. Little did we know, our time was almost up. No one knows where it started. No one knows why. By the time the scientists figured out what was happening, it was already too late. Most of humanity perished in the first few weeks, stricken down by a fast-moving infection, only to rise up as a zombie with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.
Millions burned to ash when the military rained fire on the cities in a futile effort to halt the contagion. Millions more simply lay down and gave up, unable, or perhaps unwilling, to exist in a world no longer fit for human occupancy. Despite all the death and destruction, there were survivors, brave men and women who stared into the face of annihilation and chose instead, to live. Together, they set about to rebuild civilization, to create something new and permanent out of the ruins of what came before.
This is their story This omnibus combines the three Elements of the Undead books in a single volume. This giveaway is for an eBook edition of Earth: Elements of the Undead 3. For a beleaguered band of survivors in southern Arizona, life is about to go from bad to worse.

Conscience can be a killer. A plot to kill a nation, hatched by a secret cabal of ex-cold warriors intent on finishing the war that defined their existence. One man, who in a crisis of conscience, passes information about the plot to his brother, a shattered soul living on the edges of society.

Currently in Kindle format only. A stunning and lyrical collection of sonnets that explores love in its many faces.

The form is stretched without abandoning its inherent beauty and structure. Surely, a collection to be savored and reflected upon long after the last page has been turned.

Abby Sorrensten likes to play rough. Ripping the horns off the foreheads of demons, manipulating lightning and setting things on fire with the flick of your wrist can give you a serious rush.
So she probably wasn't the best choice for the Order's experimental training program. Thirteen years of isolation, lack of affection and a bruised and broken body from horrendous training sessions creates more than just an exceptional fighter, it creates an evil within - an evil responsible for several deaths the night she left. Two hundred years later Abby resurfaces as the very thing the Order trained her to kill: A mythical demon has set his sights on the school and only the ordained hunter has the powers to face it.
Unbeknownst to the Order, Abby's their precious ordained one and their only chance for survival. As much as she would love to leave them hanging, she's not willing to risk the life of Emily, a fellow friend and hunter also fed up with the organization. But for Abby, locking herself away in a fortress with angry descendents of those she killed causes suspicions and tensions to run high. Abby must learn the demon's weaknesses for battle before the Order learns hers. A self-deprecating witch with the unique ability to reanimate the dead.

The Underworld in a state of chaos. Let the games begin. Rand hires her to help him solve a mystery regarding the death of his client who also happens to be a ghost.
Consequently, she finds herself at the center of a custody battle between a villainous witch, a dangerous but oh-so-sexy vampire, and her warlock boss, Rand. A girl, a guy, and a haunted house. Architect Frizzie Lizzie, the Scream Queen, designs haunted houses. Architect Jared Rutledge's classic buildings are designs for the ages. Jared believes Lizzie is wasting her talent--and frequently tells her so.
Lizzie tells him he needs to loosen up. That's probably why their business partnership didn't last any longer than their marriage. But now, Jared needs Lizzie's help in fixing a haunted house he designed to raise money for a physical therapy center. After she recovers from the shock of Jared asking for her help, Lizzie realizes it's the perfect opportunity to show him that she doesn't design "frivolous structures" and at last win his respect.

Willow Haywood has always been trapped between the worlds of the Light and the Dark. Her waking hours are plagued by her ability to feel the emotions of those around her. No matter how inward she draws, she cannot shut out the feelings of others. Sometimes she will see images - echoes of other people and places - that she can enter to influence the emotions of people she has never met.
By night, Willow experiences her only escape from this terrible insight - entering into the world of dreams. Most of these dreams are shared in blissful silence with a stunning blue-eyed boy. But every new moon she lives through something much darker: One night, this shadowy figure invades her dreams outside of his appointed time. In this new nightmare, Willow is marked; a mark which follows her into the waking world and sets her on a momentous path through light and darkness, through fragmented myth and half-truths, through past lives and disturbing family secrets, all in the face of the ever-dominant Zodiac.
What she finds will endanger the lives of those closest to her and will force her to make a decision that will change her world forever. On her last day of high school, Cassandra Devlin walked out of exams and into a forest. Surrounded by the wrong sort of trees, and animals never featured in any nature documentary, Cass is only sure of one thing: The sprawl of abandoned blockish buildings Cass discovers offers her only more puzzles. Where are the people? What is the intoxicating mist which drifts off the buildings in the moonlight? And why does she feel like she's being watched?
Increasingly unnerved, Cass is overjoyed at the arrival of the formidable Setari. Whisked to a world as technologically advanced as the first was primitive, where nanotech computers are grown inside people's skulls, and few have any interest in venturing outside the enormous whitestone cities, Cass finds herself processed as a 'stray', a refugee displaced by the gates torn between worlds. Struggling with an unfamiliar language and culture, she must adapt to virtual classrooms, friends who can teleport, and the ingrained attitude that strays are backward and slow.
Can Cass ever find her way home? She retreats often into a dream where a man is always kind, gives good advice and promises her things will work out. Jack is the slut, the bar girl, the combatant. She knows what she wants and goes after it. After a bad scene in a bar, Jack takes off hitching to where she was always happy — the Blue Ridge Mountains. Many thoughts obviously went into this book. Jan 11, Sherri Moorer rated it really liked it. I don't normally read romance, but the introduction of a fantasy element was compelling and I do love mixed genres.
One thing that particularly impressed me was that love was approached and embraced more holistically than it is in most romances. This was no "one night stand leads to marriage and happily ever after" formula. It was a real, down on her luck woman that took a long and difficult journey to discover that her quest for true love meant more than just "the perfect m A compelling read. It was a real, down on her luck woman that took a long and difficult journey to discover that her quest for true love meant more than just "the perfect man," it meant embracing her authentic self, finding beauty in the world, and giving her love back to the universe.
A great read, especially if you're tired of the same old formulas and stereotypes. Dec 07, Kimberly rated it it was amazing Shelves: I got lost in this wonderful story of Jacqueline and the ups and downs that she faced on her search for true love. I could almost see the beautiful colors of the sunrises and sunsets that she witnessed at the top of the Smokeys.
So enjoyed learning along with her as she met and learned from her different teachers along the way. Several colorful charact WOW! Several colorful characters to love and dislike that are all a part of Jacqueline's journey.
Jan 14, Sara Sykora rated it liked it. I thought this was quite an interesting book. A genre I have not read a lot of books in. The main character of the book completes a in her life and comes to terms with her past and present life. I was a little overwhelmed with all the technicalities of how she had to learn the four steps to finding her true love and turning her life around. Overall, it kept me interested and was a quick read. Jul 17, Denise rated it it was amazing. I found this book quite intriguing.
