The Last Man by R L Swihart (1 Review)    Price verified 19 minutes ago

For at least two good reasons, I've decided to rerelease The Last Man, my first book of poems, on my own: It has gone out of print -- both in paperback and via Kindle; and a few good readers (faithful, curious, random), missing it the first time around, may just want to "have at it." The look has changed a bit (minor changes in cover and text), but essentially it's the same book. I don't know that it's even me anymore, but certainly it was an earlier self. Half the poems I still have a fondness for, the other half I only half-remember.

Heart of Ice: Prequel to Thunderstone by Barbara Pietron (14 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

When sixteen-year-old Ice is visited by an evil spirit, his medicine man training warns him that things aren't right in his quiet Northern Minnesota town. His suspicions prove true when he's attacked by a Windigo--a human turned monster by a compulsive hunger for human flesh--and he soon discovers that a bad medicine charm is being used to spread the Windigo curse. The hunt is on to find the charm and the person using it before the town is overrun by cannibalistic monsters. Although the pieces of the puzzle come together to form an impossible conclusion, one which will challenge traditional belief and question numerous ritualistic items, Ice knows he must still reveal the truth. Because there are worse monsters than Windigos. In this fictional story of Native American mythology, male protagonist Ice races to learn the truth and protect local citizens from the Windigo. Heart of Ice is a prequel to the award-winning Thunderstone, Book One of the Legacy In Legend Series, by Barbara Pietron.

Reincarnated as the Frog Prince (Twisted Fairytales Collection Book 10) by KuroKoneko Kamen (2 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

A romcom parody of fantasy isekai (alternate world) anime/manga stories... When ordinary, Japanese, high school student Gamaken Kuronuma is reincarnated in the sword-and-sorcery world Enchancia he realizes he's the fairytale character the Frog Prince. In order to break his curse he needs to get a princess to fall in love with him and bestow upon him true love's kiss. Gama's foolhardy attempt to kiss the very first princess he encounters rewards him with a half-broken curse. By day, Gama is a handsome prince, albeit with green skin. At sunset, he transforms into a slimy, green frog. Gama discovers he possesses magic and abilities similar to those found in a video game. Suddenly, Gama's nerdy knowledge of anime, video games, dating sim games, and gal games comes in handy as he navigates this new world, fights monsters, and levels up. With the help of his trusty stat window, er, Blue Fairy attendant, Henry, Gama sets out on a quest to kill the Goblin King in order to get the monster to break his curse. Along the way they gain some unlikely allies - the cursed princess Odette, her bubbly maid Meddie, bunny priestess Usagi, and feisty tomboy Amber. There's more than meets the eye to these girls, however. Odette has been cursed to have a bird beak during the day and turns into a swan at night. Meddie has been cursed with snakes for hair, but unexpectedly Gama thinks they're cute. Usagi has been cursed with insatiable lust. Amber might just be more OP than Gama is as an Otherworlder. All of a sudden, Gama begins to wonder when he accidentally began to form a harem... Author's Note: For those who aren't fans of the harem genre, this will be a unique take. Readers will be able to ship Gama with their favorite romance interest. There will be alternate story arcs centering on one romance interest with alternate endings. The "official" end is that Gama will one-day become King and marry all of his romance interests. Reincarnated as the Frog Prince (Reincarnated as a ...

Empire and Environment: Ecological Ruin in the Transpacific by Jeffrey Santa Ana (University of Michigan Press) Price verified 8 hours ago

Empire and Environment argues that histories of imperialism, colonialism, militarism, and global capitalism are integral to understanding environmental violence in the transpacific region. The collection draws its rationale from the imbrication of imperialism and global environmental crisis, but its inspiration from the ecological work of activists, artists, and intellectuals across the transpacific region. Taking a postcolonial, ecocritical approach to confronting ecological ruin in an age of ecological crises and environmental catastrophes on a global scale, the collection demonstrates how Asian North American, Asian diasporic, and Indigenous Pacific Island cultural expressions critique a de-historicized sense of place, attachment, and belonging. In addition to its thirteen chapters from scholars who span the Pacific, each part of this volume begins with a poem by Craig Santos Perez. The volume also features a foreword by Macarena Gómez-Barris and an afterword by Priscilla Wald.

A Time to Mourn A Time to Dance - A SciFi Paranormal Romantic Suspense Novella (Time Viewing of History Exposes Society’s Truths Book 1) by Lisa Shea (2 Reviews)    Price verified 39 minutes ago

Phuong Nguyen grew up a foster child; she knew the true meaning of Hell on Earth. In her teens, she'd desperately sought refuge in the online virtual world. Within those computer-based communities she could be anyone. Do anything. She became known around the world as Ratridevi, co-founder of the Hive Collective. With the Hive's assistance she'd taken down dictators. Brought child pornographers to justice. She'd at long last found love. But now her research into consciousness, meditation, and virtual reality had unearthed a stunning breakthrough - she could view any time in history before 1966 and create an exact video recording of what occurred. These revelations could help viewers track down long-lost gold mines, reveal the truth behind religious systems, and destroy corrupt empires. Now she just has to stay alive long enough to share the news. * * * A Time to Mourn A Time to Dance is book one in this series. In general, my novellas are written without explicit intimacy or violence. As such they are suitable for teens and up. I support battered women's shelters. I would love your input as I'm writing these - it's your suggestions which will help guide the direction the story moves in! If you prefer to read your stories complete, you are welcome to wait until the sequence is complete and then buy the box set. Either way, you support the cause! I traditionally create a boxed set for my novella series every three books or so.

The White Sandy Reservation needs a doctor, and Madeline Mitchell needs to do a little good in the world. It seems like a perfect fit, until she meets the medicine man, Rebel Runs Fast. As far as Madeline can tell, Rebel's sole mission is to convince her patients that modern medicine can't help them. And the fact that he makes her heart race every time he looks at her only irritates her more. Rebel swore off the white man's world-and women-years ago. But he's never met a woman like Dr. Mitchell. She doesn't speak the language, understand the customs, or believe he's anything more than a charlatan-but she stays, determined to help his people. He tries to convince himself that his tribe doesn't need her, but when patients start getting sick with strange symptoms, he realizes that he needs her more than ever.

Settlers of Unassigned Lands (21St Century Prose) by Charles McLeod (University of Michigan Press) (1 Review)    Price verified 8 hours ago

In these seven stories spanning the Midwest to California, Charles McLeod brings us characters estranged from their homelands and locked in conflict with their past and present selves. In "How to Start Your Own Midwestern Ghost Town," an unnamed narrator hatches a plan to capitalize on rural decay. A porn star trying to transition to the mainstream does an interview with a German reporter in "The Subject of Our First Issue Is Art." In the title story, a closeted heroin dealer follows a ghostly girl into an Oakland graveyard. And in "Rancho Brava," the conductor of a focus group about corporate salsa keeps getting interrupted by visitors from the Old West. Alternating between the comic, the tragic, and the neurotic -- and often all three at once -- McLeod's second collection transports readers from the American mainstream to the dark edges of cities and the heartland's lost, forgotten towns, into the lives of people trying to decipher if they can escape their pasts, and at what cost.

The Subject(s) of Human Rights: Crises, Violations, and Asian/American Critique (Asian American History and Culture) by Cathy J. Schlund-Vials (Temple University Press) Price verified 8 hours ago

Human rights violations have always been part of Asian American studies. From Chinese immigration restrictions, the incarceration of Japanese Americans, yellow peril characterizations, and recent acts of deportation and Islamophobia, Asian Americans have consistently functioned as subordinated "subjects" of human rights violations. The Subject(s) of Human Rights brings together scholars from North America and Asia to recalibrate these human rights concerns from both sides of the Pacific. The essays in this collection provide a sharper understanding of how Asian/Americans have been subjected to human rights violations, how they act as subjects of history and agents of change, and how they produce knowledge around such subjects. The editors of and contributors to The Subject(s) of Human Rights examine refugee narratives, human trafficking, and citizenship issues in twentieth- and twenty-first century literature. These themes further refract issues of American war-making, settler colonialism, military occupation, collateral damage, and displacement that relocate the imagined geographies of Asian America from the periphery to the center of human rights critique.
