I am Willow. I am 28 years old. I have two beautiful children. My precious baby lambs, who I would die for. But I am also, unfortunately, prey. I don't mean to be prey. No one in their right mind would sign up for such a thing. I simply am. I carry it as a scent. Secrete it as skin and saturate my folicles in it. Maybe it's the subtle hints of fear. Maybe my vulnerability carries intoxicating notes I'm not aware of. Or maybe it's the musk of overwhelming guilt that burns even my own nostrils. Whatever it is, I watch it ride along the tail-end of a breeze and snag only predatory noses. Noses that sniff me out and give chase. Noses that force me to run, to hide, only to inevitably be caught. But I am not normal prey. And my Shepherd is not a normal herder. When I call to Him in my darkest hour, watching sharp teeth carrying my precious lambs off captive, He answers with a predator of his own: A yellow-eyed wolf named Isaiah. He offers me one year of marriage. One year of his own sharp teeth for me to hide behind and use at will. And in that one year's time, he will get my children back for me. But what happens when I want him, too? What if, this time, I choose to be prey? Want to be trapped, encircled, caught? His teeth, his claws, embedded in me forever? And what if that is the only thing he cannot give me? Join our precious doe, Willow, and her tenacious wolf, Isaiah, as they overcome mountainous obstacles through faith, love and personal growth. Whether predator or prey, the hunter or the hunted, in God's hands, we are powerful weapons for good.

Undiscovered America: unknown natural wonders and potential national parks by Zack/Cora Frank (53 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

The 54 landscapes featured in this book that fall into two categories. 1) Areas that are virtually unknown but deserve greater appreciation and awareness. 2) Well-known landscapes that are surprisingly not national parks, but people often assume they are. All of these natural wonders deserve greater protection and to be considered alongside the best natural icons the country has to offer. If you asked the average American to name a landscape that defines our national identity, they would most likely respond by saying Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, or the Everglades. What they might not know is that each of these places is a national park. Our national parks celebrate some of the most exemplary natural landscapes on the planet, boasting a diversity of ecosystems, wildlife, and geology that helped make this country the foundation of the conservation movement. Nowhere else on Earth is there a confluence of deserts, mountains, plains, hills, forests, coastlines, lakes, canyons, islands, and wetlands that still accurately reflect the pristine state of the land before human intervention. Throughout my travels, I have come across places that are just as incredible and unique as the famous national parks, but are comparatively unknown. I wondered, "Why are only some of America's environments so well-known, while other places that are equally amazing, are not?" A few years ago, this discrepancy set me off on a mission to find out why many of the greatest natural wonders in America are not protected and valued in the same way This book seeks to reconcile these potential national parks, which are missing from our national consciousness. The primary goal of my 'Undiscovered America' project is to document the lesser-known natural wonders across the United States. The secondary goal is to provide a better understanding of federal land designations. The current levels of protection for many of the landscapes detailed within this book leave ...

Are You Positive? by Stephen Davis (L&G Productions LLC) (120 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Ripped from the headlines of today's news, "Are You Positive?" is a fictitious courtroom drama in the style of John Grisham. 26-year-old Tyree Johnson stands accused of first degree murder in a prominent South Carolina courtroom. But his murder weapon is not a gun or a knife; in fact, there was no violent crime at all. His "victim," Beth Ann Brooks, dated Tyree for a few months, and they made love more than once. However, Tyree Johnson had been diagnosed HIV-Positive, and the prosecution claims that Beth Ann Brooks was infected with HIV by Tyree and died some months later. The defense, however, claims there is reasonable doubt that Tyree's HIV diagnosis was wrong - that, according to numerous scientific studies, the so-called "HIV tests" are fraught with errors, and have been ever since their inventor, Dr. Robert Gallo, lied on his patent application. Furthermore, Tyree's lawyer argues that there is no scientific evidence that HIV is transmitted by heterosexual intercourse, and that Tyree's girlfriend died from taking lethal anti-retroviral drugs rather than from any HIV/AIDS-related illness. Based on more than 500 actual scientific studies and references, the author claims that every word of sworn testimony is true and verifiable. "Are You Positive?" raises serious questions about whether anyone has ever been properly diagnosed as HIV-Positive, and whether most AIDS victims are dying from the side-effects of the HIV medications prescribed by their doctors - all in a spell-binding novel. You be the judge.

The Alexiad by Anna Komnene (86 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Anna Komnene's 'The Alexiad' is a remarkable historical and biographical account that chronicles the life and reign of her father, Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, in 12th century Byzantium. Written in a classical literary style, Komnene's work offers valuable insights into the political intrigue, military campaigns, and cultural developments of the time. The Alexiad stands out as one of the few surviving works authored by a woman from this period, showcasing Komnene's intelligence and literary prowess. Through detailed descriptions and engaging narratives, Komnene paints a vivid picture of the Byzantine court and society, making the book a significant contribution to medieval literature. As the daughter of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, Anna Komnene had a unique perspective on the events of her time, which inspired her to write The Alexiad. Her intimate knowledge of court politics and military affairs enabled her to craft a nuanced and insightful portrayal of her father's reign. Komnene's scholarly background and literary talent shine through in the meticulous research and eloquent prose found in her work. I highly recommend 'The Alexiad' to readers interested in Byzantine history, medieval literature, and women's contributions to the historical record. Anna Komnene's masterpiece offers a captivating and informative glimpse into a fascinating period of history, making it a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Byzantine Empire and the Komnenos dynasty.

Liverpool to Kirkby Fields: A glimpse at life in a 1950-60s overspill town. by Kate Higgins (36 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

A tale of a personal account of a childhood spent in Kirkby, the first of the Liverpool overspill towns to develop - the story takes me back over 35 years to when my dad was employed during the second world war as a civil servant at the Royal Ordnance factory. With a population of around 3,000 made up mainly of farming people, the pretty little town was just a few years later to be developed into the new town with population figures reaching 50,000 at its peak. As I walk through Kirkby Park estate, 35 years since I left Kirkby, I recall the people, the events, Liverpool's working life and social life, and the humour which together made me and my seven brothers and sisters who we are today. I note the changes we lived through, the days when our telephone was the one in the red box on the corner of the road; our first television set; to today's technological world; scenes through the years of family life, school days where the remnants of Victoriana ran parallel with Beatlemania in the "Swinging Sixties", and of how mum and dad, quite amazingly, managed to take all ten of us on holiday each year.I recall local ghost stories told to me over the years and although my lifelong interest in the supernatural never produced any ghosts, I do relate what happened the moment I was told my mum had died, fifteen years after dad had also died, which led me to believe that he was there for her that day. We were inspired by mum and dad, with their legacy of love, selflessness, work ethics and honesty, and last but never to be forgotten, the ability to see the funny side.

World War S: The Silence Begins (World War Spiritual Book 1) by Stephen Paul Thomas (Articity Publishing) (81 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The world stands on the brink of another worldwide economic and social crisis. People look for understanding through occult practices, so that mediums and fortunetellers have become wildly successful in helping them escape reality. There are no more churches, and established religion is a thing of the past. Christians must now gather in secret. In this fragile era emerges Josh Heartley, a young boy with astounding prophetic abilities. Though Josh had a heart transplant in his early years, it doesn't slow him down. He is a light for everyone around him, and he can often tell future events with supernatural clarity. During an accident, Josh has a Near Death Experience and finds himself in the middle of a spiritual battle that goes back more than two thousand years. Dr Julie Bond, conducting a research study involving Josh, hopes to unlock the secret behind NDEs and their ties to the human soul. She soon suspects the key lies within this very special boy. Stephen Paul Thomas's thrilling novel is based on shocking real-world events of a thousand-years-long demonic occupation told through exciting storylines, unexpected twists, and many historical examples. If you read Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, you will find this more eyeopening and shocking... all who would like to know more about the unseen battle must read this series! "Thomas (Cluster, 2015) deftly paints a world in which Christians have been backed into a corner by the belief systems of other cultures -- like that of Linda's ancestral village in Central America -- and by demons. These demons, including Karnelo, the "lust-addict spirit," have been possessing people for hundreds of years, using human tools to instigate everything from the Inquisition to organized pedophilia. Thomas' prose presents the complex story evocatively, as in the line "Linda's chest rhythmically lifted and sank, like water in the mighty ocean, which kept its secrets in the dark deep." - Kirkus Review

"I have a suspicion, but before I share, I'd like you to go back. Walk me through it from the beginning. How did all of this start?" "If I tell you, there's no going back. Are you sure you want to hear this?" "I'm certain!" Jeff reassuringly squeezed her hand. "All right then. Let me properly introduce myself. My name is Carletta Maria Ammetto from Progress, Pennsylvania. Everybody calls me Carli. In fact, very few people know my given name." "The name is almost as beautiful as the woman who wears it." A weight lifted from Carli's shoulders as she heard the sound of her own name for the first time in eighteen months. She dared to hope that this time, unlike the last seven relocations, might be different. Perhaps, if she tried hard enough and avoided known pitfalls, she'd finally win her freedom and begin a normal life. Despite being torn between accepting Jeff's help and placing a target on his back, Carli finally held a true reason for enduring the relentless nightmare she'd stumbled into during her last blind date. The only question left unanswered was whether she'd live to enjoy the life she'd fought so long and so hard to keep. Discovering Marcell Raccani on the doorstep of her new apartment greatly diminished her chances.

75 years after WWII headlines of Pearl Harbor, Normandy and Hiroshima hit the press, the China-Burma-India Theater was brought to light in Behind the Forgotten Front. It's 1942, and Harry Flynn leaves behind the love of his life to journey into East Asia, a world of tigers, elephants, and the Himalayan Mountains. He enlists to fight, expecting to find the thrill of danger and honor of military service. Instead, Harry is ordered to the Forgotten Front in the Indian subcontinent as an ordinary supply officer. There, General Joseph 'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell is constructing a 'road to nowhere' through Japanese-occupied Burma -- and he's willing to complete it at any cost. In an exotic world with Naga headhunters, opium-smoking Kachin tribesmen, and marauders who scorn both life and death, Harry must entrust his life to others if he is to survive the war. During a time when boys are forced to come of age on the battlefield, and where death and insanity seem to be the only ways out, Harry must find what makes his life worth living. The lessons learned in WWII apply to all wars where men walk away carrying unspeakable memories about the lives that could have been. Behind the Forgotten Front takes you to the overlooked battles in the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II and shows you that history is about facts driven by the passions and sometimes the mistakes of real people.

Absent father, absent-minded lover, unskilled and untrustworthy. None of them do his uselessness justice.

Remnant provides the brawn in a dubiously talented and totally incompatible crew of three aboard a ship that's not expected to make it higher than the treetops. Can he overcome his underdog status? And can he beat the mighty NASA to the asteroid belt and return home with a life-changing cut of the loot?

A brain-teasing mystery that grabs you right from the start - and then delivers A bedraggled woman turns up on Rory Cavenham's doorstep in the middle of a storm, convinced that the year is 1972, but claiming to have lost her memory. Despite his own troubled past, Rory is drawn to her; but she's fearful of authority and frightened of mysterious pursuers, and insists on keeping a low profile as she adjusts to modern life. Determined to help her, Rory finds links to two strong but compromised women, but the truth behind their interlocking stories remains elusive. Meanwhile, the pursuers turn out to be all too real, and the pace builds as the story lunges towards its remarkable and redemptive climax. Fast-moving and engrossing, A Knock at the Door defies easy categorisation. It is part mystery thriller, part detective story, and part romance.

The Second Sun: Volumes I & II by Kristof Morrow (30 Reviews)    Price verified 31 minutes ago

The plot of The Second Sun is an allegory for the financial inequality between the older and younger generations. There's an island paradise where there's elders living a second life after retiring from their human forms, and live amongst their chosen few, who also live for thousands of years in relative peace. However, only those welcome can actually approach the island and survive. Everyone else on earth is made to endure a game of thrones type world, except I omitted much of the overt cruelty you find in that series. I also forgo the notions of racism and sexism. l wanted to adopt the spirit of Tolkien, but expand that virtue of "anyone, no matter how small, can achieve great things," to every kind of human so it feels to be an adventure for everyone! I was diagnosed with Tourette's when I was 27, and so it's developed my understanding of the theft of agency and being marginalized for something I cannot control. It's also structured similarly to game of thrones, in that the first three chapters are different parts of the world with different characters, and you learn how they are related as the story progresses. The Second Sun is, above all things, an adventure made animate by hundreds of distinct characters across half a world, written to confess through prose and tale our tendencies poisoned by Dickensian bleakness, and to wholly ameliorate that cynicism by the light and courage of those who live and labor for a just peace.

The Year of Eric's Hat by Peter Sykes (2 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

Meet Eric. Eric is a teenager. He has a disability and struggles with walking and speaking. But Eric has a very special gift. And a hat. Unbeknownst to his schoolmates and even to his family, Eric is both savant and sage. But Eric is better known for his crutches, awkward speech and his battered green top hat. His premature wisdom and burgeoning writing talent finally get showcased in his increasingly popular but anonymously-written column in the school gazette. Eric's simple musings on secular ethics and how to be happy are aimed at his fellow adolescents who, like Eric, are struggling with the universal challenges of impending adulthood and caught in the grips of a drug-fuelled gang war and a rapidly-escalating arms race. Try as he may, hat or no hat, Eric's journalistic efforts will not be enough to arrest the build-up of animosity nor halt another tragic school shooting. Only the untimely and violent deaths of two students will have the power to reunite a fractured academy and its supporting communities. Only then will Eric's enlightened suggestions be truly heeded: and his hat properly appreciated. A gripping and highly accessible work of contemporary inspirational fiction, 'The Year of Eric's Hat' combines a page-turning narrative with some age-old and practical guidance - on how we can all meet head-on the myriad of adult human problems without losing touch with our more childlike, better and happier selves.

Left on Paradise by Kirk Adams (20 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

Before Portland, there was Paradise. Following the stolen presidential election of 2000, 102 intrepid progressives, led by self-absorbed Hollywood star Ryan Godson and his kind-hearted wife Kit Fairchild, make good on their threat to abandon a corrupted society still under the spell of Puritan fanatics, Yankee traders, and southern slavers. Now, a new society will be founded: a new country among the nations. This will be a land in which feminists, liberals, environmentalists, multiculturalists, pacifists, socialists, communists, communitarians, and progressives of every persuasion will remain unthwarted by the opposition and oppression of Republicans, social conservatives, and constitutionalists. Left on Paradise is a sweeping epic about a band of idealists who have forsaken family and friend to build a perfect word on a remote island in the south Pacific. From the thrill of first hope to the brink of deadly catastrophe, Kirk Adams relentlessly puts the band of idealists in a world in which they can live out the iron logic of their beliefs and dreams -- unencumbered by conservative resistance or religious restraint. Yet, they bring to Paradise the moral limits of their own ideals and character and soon find that they themselves have brought evil to their Eden. With riveting twists and turns in the plot that mirror contemporary (and historical) American political experience, the author shares political fiction that speaks to the cultural questions and divisions that contemporary Americans face, even as he offers a vision of what must not be sought. It's May 2001 and the band of political pilgrims have sailed to a remote island in the Pacific to found a new country: a true State of Paradise. Numbering the same as the settlers of Plymouth and Jamestown, the idealists have marched straight out of the 1960s to build the Great Society suspended by Nixon, Reagan, and the Bush family. These pilgrims will show the world what it means to be Left on Paradise -- or so they ...

Many people have heard of stories dealing with drug induced issues. Few could predict that a non-drug induced psychosis story would be in their grasp. In Jones and The Watchers Way - The first book of this life story series - Jones is a character based on my personal experiences, thoughts and feelings over four years with a spot of science fiction and self-help written into it. Our main hero Jones has landed in the psych ward. The mumbling watchers are outside, stuck in their own minds, still mostly homeless looking for a way to become free. They want to help.

Jones' new realities mixed with lack of sleep and impending doom in a parallel universe loom ever closer as Jones desperately searches for a solution. What's real and what's not is a toss up. Jones was just another twenty-something searching to improve the world's future by communicating his sometimes crazy ideas into new consciousness. Meanwhile, he is simultaneously battling with realities of mundane life itself; his hobbies of music, money, a job, and late nights out partying. Jones's mind slips, stutters, and splits forward into a manic-filled journey. Undeterred, Jones plows ahead to further his personal development of his crazy ideas in whatever reality is working for him at the time, helping the Watchers and besting Nepharius.
