The Awakening by Edward C. Patterson (1 Review)    Price verified 6 hours ago

When deep in the soul the true self stirs and arises to remove the mask; when nature overtakes art and courageously comes out of the night into the day; when the closet opens and fills the room with light -- then we have The Awakening. Capturing the heart-soaring moment when a person faces themselves and then the world -- a brave new world, which calls forth the best and heals the lies, is a momentous time. Like the first fireflies on a summer night, to share yourself with first one person; and then another, and then those closest and those furthest until the world knows -- a world fresh and new, yet dangerous, being aware that many would prefer you live the lie. But there is only one life per customer and only one awakening of the soul. If the lie persists, life withers on the vine. The Awakening is one man touching a new world expressed in verse. It's the spirit bursting onto the scene with green ecstasy. Through the sights and sound outside the closet, this work seeks nothing more than to exist - to be when we need to be. Victory over self-darkness is no mean feat. Triumph over the demons that put us down is the best triumph of all. Leaving a secret in the swamp and savoring life's new vibrancy is better. This is my Awakening in song and verse.

Apprentice wizard, Walter Farmfound, was born with the rare and precious gift of the ferocious Wild Magic which, he's recently discovered, is completely impossible to control; at least not without terraforming everything within a half mile radius, since it's an unstoppable force of nature, completely unhinged and with a life and an agenda all of its own. Walter is only truly able to call upon his all-powerful and untameable magic is when he's completely sozzled, or at least partying hard with the faeyries. Although once he is pickled the apprentice is no longer beset by any of those pesky, restraining inhibitions or, conceivably, a single functioning brain cell. So what could possibly go wrong? Regrettably, Walter's terrible step-father has unknowingly caused the apprentice to avoid anything alcoholic, which proves to be a more serious problem than at first glance, since the singular potion that could potentially release Walter's magic, and his dreams, is over ninety-eight percent proof. Walter firmly believes that when his magic is unleashed and finally under his control, he will at last be able to make his former tormentors back home pay for all their years of unsought-for... attentions; since who in their right mind messes with a proper wizard? After several disastrous, hysterical magical incidents on his farm and in his local town, including one unforgettable afternoon with a very hungry and sentient compost heap, Walter is discovered by Mufti, a wizard Seeker and is brought to the Wizards Keep in the Capital city of Vikksaporubb to be indentured to the extravagant Senior Wizard, Marlyn. Although, when Walter says, 'proper wizard,' what he actually means is that he hopes he eventually will be one after his apprenticeship is successfully completed; if he ever manages to survive his Master's relentless tests and his unforgiving alcohol-fuelled... potions. Wizards and Dragons begins at a gentle pace but quickly develops into a hilarious, Pratchett-esque ...

¿Qué harías para lograr la perfección? Si requiriese aislamiento, soledad, incomprensión por parte del resto de la sociedad, ¿aceptarías? En este relato veremos la historia de alguien que tenía un sí por respuesta muy clara a esas preguntas. Un paseo por el mundo oculto detrás de la audiofilia, la pasión por la fidelidad auditiva y la técnica detrás de la acústica, entraremos en la mente de uno de sus expertos. Una persona con fascinación absorta y un oído refinado, preparado a fin de captar hasta los detalles más difíciles de escuchar para el resto de los mortales. Un elegido entre una turba de ignorantes sonoros, «sordos» como se les llama en la jerga. O al menos así es como se ve a sí mismo. Su manto de perfección impoluta será puesto a prueba por un desperfecto, falla, distorsión. Un rival inesperado sin explicación alguna, que escapa a todos los elementos de control. Una grieta que mancha el placer de un equipo especial y deja inservible la habitación con tratamiento acústico. Cuando el enigma se haga más grande y niegue toda posibilidad de arreglo, la cordura será lo que se vea en riesgo. Memorias de sacrificios, gastos monetarios y emocionales. Peajes en el camino que traza la obsesión por la más noble de las artes, según su educada opinión. Una metáfora del aislamiento. Los peligros de distanciarse del resto de la humanidad. Los costes personales que se dejan por nutrir una pasión y la delgada línea entre la perfección y la locura. Cuando el tejido de la realidad se compromete, y lo que consideramos certero trastabilla, ¿podremos encontrar la salida? Nuestro protagonista se dejará buena parte de su sanidad mental en ello, sacando a la luz varias oportunidades en las que su compulsión por el audio lo arrastró a costas oscuras.

A sharp-suited, sharp-witted, sometimes reckless, sometimes dangerous, always intoxicating agent of change... and loyal to a T. However, this exacting approach to life - and love - does little to encourage Mr Right to make himself known - Dane's search continues. In The Time Of Your Life, Dane is at a crossroads, having just heard that the company to which he has devoted the last four years of his professional life is about to close down. Timing being almost everything, in walks Eugene, a young, keen, software engineer. Together they embark on an audacious plan to create the world's most exclusive gay dating service. Knowing that he has to change his lifestyle to attract the perfect mate, Dane turns to friend/therapist Anton for advice. However, just as Dane reconciles himself to the prospect of drinking tea and doing yoga, a man whom he has frequently seen at Cybil's soirees suddenly declares his attraction, leaving Dane with the choice of all choices to make. The Great Dane Saga charts the life of Dane Danois, and his many and varied friendships and relationships over the course of a 40 year period.

Footsteps in the Fog (The Harding Hall Mysteries Book 2) by Ram Tuli (11 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

A MISFIRING TRIGGER WARNING: YOU'RE ABOUT TO READ FOOTSTEPS IN THE FOG. DON'T STOP NOW. Muttonheads or not, in Dying Horribly at Harding Hall, Loris and Lars helped solve five of the eleven bizarre deaths that had taken place in their family over just a few decades. As Book 2, Footsteps in the Fog, opens, they learn, with mixed feelings, that those responsible for the solved murders have been hanged. Now Lars is bored at Harding Hall. But if a plot that featured eleven murders (give or take an accidental death or two) can thicken, this one is about to. Lars, it seems, now has the brawn, brains, and bravery (as well as the money) to do anything he wants, so he decides to open a detective agency in London with retired Inspector Fergus Kerr. Business is slow at first, but it picks up when the wife of a "well-connected" toff hires them to investigate whether her husband is cheating. He is, of course. Lars and Kerr bring the matter to an unconventional conclusion that leaves everybody happy (more or less). Almost overlooked in all the zany action, Loris somehow winds up with "the other woman" and they get married. But events rush on. It's 1939, and England is at war. Lars has been pestering the War Office to volunteer his detective agency to help in the war effort, and getting no response. He suspects an admiral has something to do with this neglect (this admiral had been caught cheating by Lars's detective agency). Lars sends an anonymous letter to a very important person in the government, trying to expose the admiral's treachery, but the letter is easily traced back to him. This letter changes everything. By pure coincidence, the rogue admiral is really a spy, and the War Office is impressed with Lars. Or maybe not so impressed -- but they need a big, rich oaf for a vital intelligence effort, Operation Black Hat, with the goal of flushing out the Wolfsfrau, Germany's top spy in England. Lars and Loris -- like everyone else involved in this ...
