The Afterlife (Joe Vampire, #2) | So...yeah. It's me again. America's most sarcastic vampire.
I'm back on the blog. It's been a while - about a year, if we need to get into specifics. Which I usually do. It's just a thing with me.
A lot has happened since we last chatted - some good, some bad. All worthwhile, in the grand scheme. I've dealt with the whole Living Dead thing long enough now to know how to keep it from taking over my life. What I'm still figuring out is how to keep it from wreaking havoc on everyone else's lives. It's a roller coaster, for sure, but I'm convinced that waiting for me somewhere on the other side of the Other Side is a real-life life, not just some artificially-sweetened half-life substitute. I want a family. I want my music.
I want the dream come true, not the dream fell through.
And I'm determined to have it, regardless of how eternal this afterlife thing might be. But it's a hell of a lot to keep track of. Barring any unforeseen developments that might undo all my vampirosity, I may have to grow up a little in order to get it all to work out. I'm ready for that, though.
As fun as it might seem to hang with the Lost Boys, I can't be Peter Pan-pire forever. | en |

Windswept: Windswept Book One | Labor organizer Padma Mehta is on the edge of space and the edge of burnout. All she wants is to buy out a little rum distillery and retire, but she's supposed to recruit 500 people to the Union before she can. She's only thirty-three short. So when a small-time con artist tells her about forty people ready to tumble down the space elevator to break free from her old bosses, she checks it out -- against her better judgment. It turns out, of course, it was all lies.
As Padma should know by now, there are no easy shortcuts on her planet. And suddenly retirement seems farther away than ever: she's just stumbled into a secret corporate mission to stop a plant disease that could wipe out all the industrial sugarcane in Occupied Space. If she ever wants to have another drink of her favorite rum, she's going to have to fight her way through the city's warehouses, sewage plants, and up the elevator itself to stop this new plague.

In this vital tome are two stories written by Ennis and illustrated by Thomas Aria including: Our Wild Geese Go: "T'was England bade our wild geese go, that small nations would be free..." In the Second World War, any Irishman wanting to fight the Nazis had to join the British army- the Republic of Ireland having declared neutrality when the war began. Now, a small unit of Irish soldiers join the advance into Germany- where the going is rough and the enemy nowhere near surrender. And old tensions remain from Ireland's own struggle for independence, as well as the bloody civil war that followed. The Tokyo Club: How do you join The Tokyo Club? Simple. You climb into your single seat, single engine fighter- loaded with fuel and ammunition- and fly 700 miles across the open Pacific until you reach the mainland of Japan. There you fight off any enemy aircraft attempting to hit the American bombers you're escorting to their targets. Still alive? Now comes the fun part. You fly another 700 miles back home to your airstrip on Iwo Jima, fuel running lower and lower, nothing but ocean for miles around. Any battle damage you've suffered will reduce your chances even further. Make it back and you're in the club. And more good news: you get to do it all again tomorrow. This volume collects War Stories #10 - 15 of the ongoing comic book series." | en |
In salute e in malattia | LA FEDE CIECA. L'AMORE CIECO. LA FURIA CIECA
"Ciascuno fa le cose a suo modo. Non costringeresti un ebreo a mangiare aragosta, giusto?"
"C'e una differenza tra non mangiarla e negare che sia commestibile."
Gadney e un uomo felice. Ha trovato l'amore, e con esso la possibilita di reinventarsi. Tracey Rose e per lui un nuovo inizio, ricco di attenzioni affettuose e sperimentazioni sessuali. Ma un'incolmabile distanza proietta una profonda ombra sulla vitalita della coppia.
Da una parte il rifiuto ostinato e noncurante della medicina occidentale da parte di lei, che la porta addirittura a privare di un vaccino il piccolo JJ, suo figlio, in piena epidemia di morbillo.
D'altra parte l'amarezza sprezzante di lui, nei confronti di una cultura alternativa che miete vittime innocenti nel tentativo di salvarle con la preghiera.
Non importa da quale parte della barricata vorrai schierarti. Non importa se tiferei per la vittoria della fede, dell'amore o del buon senso. Quello che importa, e che Appel non ti dara respiro: se finisci nella sua tela, un ragno ti divorera. | it |

Like Water | A gorgeously written and deeply felt literary young adult novel of identity, millennial anxiety, and first love, from the widely acclaimed author of The Mystery of Hollow Places
In Savannah Espinoza's small New Mexico hometown, kids either flee after graduation or they're trapped there forever. Vanni never planned to get stuck--but that was before her father was diagnosed with Huntington's disease, leaving her and her mother to care for him. Now, she doesn't have much of a plan at all: living at home, working as a performing mermaid at a second-rate water park, distracting herself with one boy after another.
That changes the day she meets Leigh. Disillusioned with small-town life and looking for something greater, Leigh is not a "nice girl." She is unlike anyone Vanni has met, and a friend when Vanni desperately needs one. Soon enough, Leigh is much more than a friend. But caring about another person stirs up the moat Vanni has carefully constructed around herself, and threatens to bring to the surface the questions she's held under for so long.
With her signature stunning writing, Rebecca Podos, author of The Mystery of Hollow Places, has crafted a story of first love and of the complex ways in which the deepest parts of us are hidden, even from ourselves. | en |
Beautee and the Beast | A killer by day and night, Zaire Pearson never knew that he had a soft side until he met and fell in love with Beautee Hill - a hard working, educated girl from the suburbs of Pasadena, California. She was a beauty that was by far different than the project chicks that Zaire was used to dealing with. Being the beast that he was, Zaire was definitely in need of a "Beautee" to tame his wild side.
Beautee knew that meeting Zaire was no accident. She was intentionally placed in his path with an agenda. She knew that not many men could resist her beauty or her booty. As an undercover FBI agent, Beautee was out to gain freedom for her husband, who had been set up by Zaire and wrongly accused of murder. It had taken Beautee years, but she now had enough evidence on Zaire to put him behind bars and free the only man that she ever loved - her husband. Zaire's mission to control the city clouded his thoughts and friends became enemies. Family members went missing and bodies are found throughout the city.
A hood tale of love, loyalty, murder and deception leaves you realizing that everything ain't always what it seems. | en |

Birth of a Vampire
Will and Wonder
Rue lives in the quiet little town of Calvary, Minnesota with her brother Kai, and her parents, Grace and William. Calvary is a beautiful place, with no crime, no drama and nestled along the great lakes. It is surrounded in lush forests, quiet, safe, everything you could ever wish for...or is it?
As Rue approaches her 17th birthday she is plagued with one problem, a very big one. Her Mother, Grace, has fallen ill. It is not a disease that can easily be fixed with medication, it is one of the mind. Grace has been admitted to Rolling River Asylum and once she is gone, Rue's perfect world starts to crumble around her. Everything she has known is suddenly taken from her and with it her feeling of safety is dissolved.
Desperate to pull Rue out of her depression, her brother talks her into going to a party at the Graph house, home to Johnathan Graph, a boy Rue has always felt a strong connection to, but never acted on it. Once she is at the party she reconnects with Johnathan and is shocked at how her feelings seem to be so strong for him, but with one touch Rue has a terrifying vision and it sets everything into motion.
Soon after her revelation at the party, Grace and William suddenly disappear and with their absence two strangers, that of Joshua and Samantha Barrington, enter into Rue's life. They come as protectors, not only to her, but to everyone she loves. Without them she would be lost, but with them she is reminded of how much she does not know. There is a war coming, a war that threatens everything she loves, everything she knows or ever will know. She is forced to face the truth about herself and about her family's history, a truth that stems back to the beginning of time and that of the vampire.

One Gay American | Dennis Milam Bensie is One Gay American. Born in the 1960s and raised with traditional values in Robinson, Illinois, Bensie desperately wanted romance, a beautiful wedding, and a baby to carry on the family name. He denied his sexuality and married a woman at nineteen years old, but fantasized of weddings where he could be the bride. The newlyweds "adopted" a Cabbage Patch Doll and ironically witnessed a Cabbage Patch Doll wedding (a successful fundraiser staged by a local women's club) where the dolls were granted the type of grand ceremony off-limits to gay couples. In search of his identity as a gay man, Bensie divorced his wife and stumbled through missteps and lessons that still sting his generation: defending against bullies, "disappointing" his parents, and looking for love in gay bars, bath houses and restrooms. He helped his straight friends plan their dream weddings and mourned his gay friends dying of AIDS. Although true love has not yet come his way, Bensie has learned to love himself. Bensie is the author of the much-lauded memoir, Shorn: Toys to Men, which recounts his battle with paraphilia. One Gay American tells the rest of his story and draws parallels to gay history, decade by decade, with newspaper headlines and quotations. Bensie is the gay neighbor that you either love or hate. Either way, he's got a lot to say and says it with no apologies. | en |

La regina, l'alchimista e il cardinale | La corte del re Luigi XVI sta per essere travolta dallo scandalo del secolo, passato alla storia come "l'affare della collana". L'intrigo, ordito da una nobildonna decaduta, assetata di denaro e bramosa di scalare i vertici dell'alta societa parigina e di avere un ruolo a corte, coinvolge nelle sue trame l'ambizioso cardinale Rohan, il sedicente mago e alchimista Cagliostro, fidatissimo amico dell'alto prelato, e la stessa regina Maria Antonietta, spianando la strada alla Rivoluzione dell'89. L'affare della collana non resta confinato fra le mura dei tribunali, ma diventa subito di pubblico dominio. Le arringhe degli avvocati vanno a ruba come bestseller, molti scrittori si arricchiscono con pamphlet scandalistici venduti in migliaia di copie. La Francia si appassiona alla vicenda e si divide fra innocentisti e colpevolisti. Ma il debole re Luigi non ne coglie appieno la portata e lascia che le cose seguano il loro corso, accelerando cosi il tramonto e la fine della monarchia francese. | it |

خطة الهجوم | "Plan of Attack" is a definitive account of how & why President Geo W. Bush, his war council & allies launched a preemptive attack to topple Saddam Hussein & occupy Iraq. Woodward's latest account of Washington decisionmaking provides an original, authoritative narrative of behind-the-scenes maneuvering over two years, examining the causes & consequences of the most controversial war since Vietnam. Based on interviews with 75 key participants & over 3.5 hours of exclusive interviews with Bush, Plan of Attack is part presidential history charting the decisions made during 16 critical months; part military history revealing precise details & the evolution of the Top Secret war planning under the restricted codeword Polo Step; part a spy story as the CIA dispatches a covert paramilitary team into northern Iraq 6 months before the start of the war. This team recruited 87 Iraqi spies designated with the cryptonym DB/ROCKSTARS, one of whom turned over the personnel files of all 6000 men in Saddam Hussein's personal security organization. What emerges are astonishingly intimate portraits: Bush in war cabinet meetings in the White House Situation Room & Oval Office, & in private conversation; Dick Cheney, the focused & driven vice president; Colin Powell, the conflicted & cautious secretary of state; Donald Rumsfeld, the controlling war technocrat; Geo Tenet, the activist CIA director; Tommy Franks, the profane & demanding general; Condoleezza Rice, the ever-present referee & national security adviser; Karl Rove, the hands-on political strategist; other key members of the White House staff & congressional leadership; & foreign leaders ranging from British Prime Minister Blair to Russian President Putin. Plan of Attack provides new details on the intelligence assessments of Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction & the planning for the war's aftermath. | en |

No More Butterflies | A surprisingly uplifting psychological drama with dark moments and romantic overtones. Dealing with the subjects of domestic psychological, physical and sexual abuse and the lasting damage these do to their victims, it covers twelve years in the lives of two initially unconnected girls, Emma and Helen, both the victims of some form of abuse and the very different consequences this abuse has to both their lives.
There are some dark and tragic moments as Emma stumbles from one emotional or physical disaster to the next from the ages of sixteen to twenty-eight. Ultimately it is the realisation of all her cliched romantic dreams which provides her with the trigger she desperately needs to enable her to take control of her own life. It makes her realise the only way to no longer be a victim is to stop relying on others for emotional and physical stability and to stand on her own two feet. It gives her the courage to face her fears and to do what is right for her daughter.
Helen, on the other hand, uses abuse as a weapon with which to defend herself from a world she can not understand. In reality the abuse she has suffered is difficult to define and the line between legitimate psychological damage and inbuilt character traits is blurred.
The two girls lives come together with devastating effects. | en |
The Price Of Altruism: George Price and the Search for the Origins of Kindness | When George Price died in January 1975, his funeral in London was attended by five homeless men. Alongside them were Bill Hamilton and John Maynard Smith, two distinguished British evolutionary biologists. All seven men had come to mourn an eccentric American genius who helped to unpick the riddle of how altruism, or unselfish concern for the welfare of others, could exist in a world driven by survival of the fittest and who committed suicide aged just 52.
In The Price of Altruism Price's personal and professional journey is intricately woven into a sweeping arc of modern politics and science that takes us from Darwin's Beagleto the court of the Russian Tsar, from Marxist manifestos to Nazi heresies, and from First World War trenches to Vietnam demonstrations. Featuring some of the most brilliant minds of the modern age, it is the riveting tale of mankind's search for the origins of kindness. | en |

El secuestro de Robles Martínez | Robles Martinez fue un escritor de mediano prestigio. Si bien no pertenecia a las ligas mayores de la literatura, estaba muy cerca del reconocimiento masivo que suponia su obra. La critica mas exigente lo resenaba como una futura promesa. Los comentaristas dominicales de libros siempre parecian estar a punto de considerarlo como un escritor que no necesitaba tarjetas de presentacion en el extranjero: su firma y sus premios lo avalaban. Sin embargo, en los ultimos anos, un oscuro haz de luz parecio entorpecer su calidad de escritura. Los criticos senalaban que se habia convertido en un mero escritor deseoso de superventas, pergenando novelas simples y facilonas que jamas podrian igualarlo a sus admirados Faulkner y Joyce. De forma sorpresiva, la prensa especializada decia que sus libros era un conjunto de acartonados personajes que seguian las lineas convencionales del realismo puro y duro.
"El secuestro de Robles Martinez" son dos novelas cortas agrupadas en un crimen, "El mayordomo" describe el modus operandi de una agrupacion de la alta sociedad hermetica cuyos fines son desconocidos inclusive para el mas leal de sus miembros, mientras que "El diario" es un palimpsesto del escritor secuestrado donde hace un analisis critico de sus origenes y su porvenir. Dicha publicacion esta emparentada al cyberpunk y la novela negra, rompiendo a su vez todas las reglas pre-establecidas en dichos estilos literarios. | es |

Love Blooms is a new series of sweet interracial romance shorts and novellas. Showcasing what I've chosen to tag as 'Vibrant Interracial Romance'.
What do I mean by 'vibrant interracial' romance? I want my stories and characters to resonate -- to set off an empathetic vibration in my readers because life has taken them into some of the same valleys and has them hoping to reach the same mountain tops.
I love my characters, and I don't want to say their emotions are my playground, but I do believe I can bring out through them -- feelings, life experiences, joy and pain that most anyone can relate to. I don't put them through all their struggles just to create drama-- they're headed somewhere. On their way to discover real connection to another person, a true soul mate. The good and bad they've lived through before they get to that glorious place are the seeds planted so that Love may bloom.
BLACKOUT IN THE GARDEN OF LOVE is Vol#1 of the LOVE BLOOM SERIES.

The Saturdays | Meet the Melendys! The four Melendy children live with their father and Cuffy, their beloved housekeeper, in a worn but comfortable brownstone in New York City. There's thirteen-year-old Mona, who has decided to become an actress; twelve-year-old mischievous Rush; ten-and-a-half-year-old Randy, who loves to dance and paint; and thoughtful Oliver, who is just six.
Tired of wasting Saturdays doing nothing but wishing for larger allowances, the four Melendys jump at Randy's idea to start the Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.). If they pool their resources and take turns spending the whole amount, they can each have at least one memorable Saturday afternoon of their own. Before long, I.S.A.A.C. is in operation and every Saturday is definitely one to remember.
Written more than half a century ago, The Saturdays unfolds with all the ripe details of a specific place and period but remains, just the same, a winning, timeless tale. The Saturdaysis the first installment of Enright's Melendy Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the close-knit Melendy family and their surprising adventures. | en |
The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World | Why is the brain divided? The difference between right & left hemispheres has been puzzled over for centuries. In a book of unprecedented scope, McGilchrist draws on a vast body of recent brain research, illustrated with case histories, to reveal that the difference is profound--not just this or that function, but two whole, coherent, but incompatible ways of experiencing the world. The left hemisphere is detail oriented, prefers mechanisms to living things & is inclined to self-interest. The right hemisphere has greater breadth, flexibility & generosity. This division helps explain the origins of music & language, & casts new light on the history of philosophy, as well as on some mental illnesses. The 2nd part of the book takes a journey thru the history of Western culture, illustrating the tension between these two worlds as revealed in the thought & belief of thinkers & artists, from Aeschylus to Magritte. He argues that, despite its inferior grasp of reality, the left hemisphere is increasingly taking precedence in the modern world, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Jan Mirocek was a hunter. A very special hunter. Once, he had hunted the things that haunt the forests of the night in every culture of the world. The kallikantzari of Greece. The loup-garou of France. The kitsune of Japan.
Were-beasts. Shape-shifters.
Until one night, he made a mistake, and the woman he loved died.
Now he shuns the dark and his own past, hiding in a big city. For the were-beasts never come here.
Or do they?
People are dying in Toronto, and all signs point to a shifter. But can Jan conquer his own fears to track down the killer? And what kind of shape shifter would be at home in a modern city?

But when our innocent fling becomes an accidental pregnancy, our relationship isn't just for fun anymore. Can I trust a committed bachelor to become a devoted daddy?

Last Exit to Utopia: The Survival of Socialism in a Post-Soviet Era | Here is a tasty paradox: How did the Leftist legions regroup after history delivered its fatal blow to the Soviet system? Simple, argues Jean-Francois Revel: the Left retreated to the impregnable fortress of the Utopian ideal. After all, socialism incarnate was always vulnerable to criticism. Utopia, on the other hand, lies by definition beyond reproach. With the demise of the Soviet system, there is no longer a vast and flailing embodiment of their vision, and Utopia's haughty champions can again rage boundlessly.
In Last Exit to Utopia, the latest English language translation of one of Europe's most controversial intellectuals, Jean-Francois Revel takes aim at socialist apologists who have attempted to erase or invert the manifest failures of socialist ideology. As the tide of Big Government rises in America, Revel's forewarnings here are as prescient as they are frightening. | en |

Nana | We first meet Nana in the Variety Theatre, where the captivating eighteen-year-old is appearing in the lead role of a musical--even though she can't act or sing. "Nana has something that makes up for everything else," the theater owner explains, and he's right. Instead of booing her off the stage, the crowd howls with admiration. She has disrobed by the third act, and her career as a femme fatale is off to a sensational start.
Nana crawls out of the gutter to ascend the heights of Parisian society, devouring men and squandering fortunes along the way. Zola begins the story of French realism's most beguiling siren in 1867, amid the decadence and moral decay of France's Gilded Age.
Nana's corruption reflects the spirit of her era, her prostitution symbolizing the degenerate state of Second Empire politics and society. Hailed as one of the first modern novels, Nana addresses contemporary subjects with realistic observations, dialogue, and scenarios. Its publication sparked a heated controversy that made it an overnight bestseller, and it has long since reigned as a classic of French literature. | en |
Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy | On May 7, 1915, toward the end of her 101st eastbound crossing, from New York to Liverpool, England, R.M.S. Lusitania--pride of the Cunard Line and one of the greatest ocean liners afloat--became the target of a terrifying new weapon and a casualty of a terrible new kind of war. Sunk off the southern coast of Ireland by a torpedo fired from the German submarine U-20, she exploded and sank in eighteen minutes, taking with her some twelve hundred people, more than half of the passengers and crew. Cold-blooded, deliberate, and unprecedented in the annals of war, the sinking of the Lusitaniashocked the world. It also jolted the United States out of its neutrality and hastened the nation's entry into World War I.
In her riveting account of this enormous and controversial tragedy, Diana Preston recalls both a pivotal moment in history and a remarkable human drama. The story of the Lusitaniais a window on the maritime world of the early twentieth century: the heyday of the luxury liner, the first days of the modern submarine, and the climax of the decades-long German-British rivalry for supremacy of the Atlantic. Above all, it is the story of the passengers and crew on that fateful voyage--a story of terror and cowardice, of self-sacrifice and heroism, of death and miraculous survival. | en |
Ο αγγελιοφόρος του Αλλάχ | C'era una volta un popolo che viveva in una terra desertica intorno alla Mecca, era diviso, governato da leggi tribali e venerava idoli di pietra, cui sacrificava le sue figlie femmine. Un popolo di seminomadi poveri e ignoranti, guardati dall'alto in basso dai ricchi mercanti ebrei e schiacciato tra grandi imperi - Bisanzio, la Persia, l'Egitto. Tutte civilta avanzate, ognuna con un suo profeta, che si chiamasse Mose, Gesu o Zarathustra, e un suo Libro, e soprattutto ognuna con un unico dio. In quella terra inospitale viveva un mercante scaltro, membro di un clan illustre. Era analfabeta, ma visionario e determinato, e dotato di una curiosita e una fantasia inesauribili. Era un poeta. Il suo nome era Muhammad. Soffriva per l'arretratezza del suo popolo, che sognava di vedere prospero e libero da usanze barbare. Voleva migliorare la condizione delle donne, voleva che i libri e le idee circolassero liberamente, che il mondo li trattasse con rispetto. Tutti deridevano il suo messaggio rivoluzionario, ma una notte un dio onnipotente gli apparve e gli parlo. L'alba che ne segui ha cambiato per sempre il mondo. Kader Abdolah e convinto che non si possa giudicare l'Islam, e quindi capire la storia e l'Occidente, senza conoscere il suo Profeta, il suo Libro e la terra che li ha generati. Il messaggero e una sua personalissima reinvenzione letteraria, da cui Muhammad emerge in tutta la sua umanita e modernita, un racconto che profuma di datteri e ulivi, e che parla del potere della parola e del mistero divino. | it |

Hatchling's Vengeance (Dragshi Chronicles #4) | Glyn, former bodyguard and companion to a dragon lord, is now Lady Glynnes Janaleigh, a dragon lord in her own right. And she has found her intended mate. But, her new-found happiness is fleeting. Finding your mate is only half the battle. Keeping them alive is the other.
For a dragshi, duty is more than administering justice or saving the innocent. More than one suitor has fallen from the sky during a mating flight. Even worse, fate decrees mating fights don't always involve the partner you want.
Vengeance takes many paths. The leader called the Parant means to have his, no matter how long it takes or how many innocents die in the attempt. For the last two unattached dragon shifters, their only weapons to survive their destinies are their swords--and love. Sometimes not even dragon fire and talons are enough to overcome the mind control wielded by the leader called--the Parant.
Book Four of the Dragshi Chronicles continues the tale of the dragshi, a human who can exchange bodies with a dragon. But the freedom of the skies comes with a price.
Although the stories in the Dragshi Chronicles are connected, each book stands alone as an individual read | en |
The Dead City Rollers | Alistair didn't know it yet, but in six days time he'd be putting both barrels of a shotgun in his mouth and putting his thumb on the trigger...
Burdened down with a bag of pot and a lot of guilt over the person he killed, Alistair needs to escape. He wants out from the turf war brewing in Swansea between a bunch of criminals. He wants out from the acid-munching cops on the verge of madness and from his idiot friends who spend their time talking about the meaning of life and interspecies wrestling.
Plus, there's a girl involved...
Getting out isn't going to be that easy though. Whether negotiating his notice with inept mobsters, dodging delusional vigilantes or avoiding that 'thing' in the shadows, escaping is going to be seriously tough.
The Dead City Rollers is comedy crime thriller, full of flawed characters. It is alive with comic touches, cliff hangers and a real sense of place. | en |

The Confederate Navy: A Pictorial History | This profusely illustrated volume describes one of the most amazing fleets in history--the hastily improvised Navy of the South. At the beginning of the Civil War, the Confederate navy was a modest collection of nearly anything that would float--mostly small, unmilitary vessels and a few captured Union ships; there was not one real warship in the fleet. The North had men-of-war and a large fleet of merchant ships that could be armed quickly. As a result, the North was soon able to blockade the southern coast and capture port after port. But the South fought back ingeniously, sending agents to England and France to have the finest warships built, innovating such modern weapons as the torpedo, the submarine, and the armored warship--all of which changed the nature of naval warfare. The Confederate Navydeals with the early ironclads; with the Trent case, which nearly brought England into the war; with the fighting on the Mississippi and James rivers; and with the flamboyant blockade-runners who could make 80,000 in profits on a single voyage. It tells about the great ships--the Alabama,the Florida, and the Shenandoah;and the great seamen--Semmes, Maffit, and Bulloch, among others. Crammed with facts, anecdotes, and exciting incidents, The Confederate Navyclarifies the complicated--and often heroic--naval operations of the Civil War. | en |
The Secret Service of the Confederate States in Europe: or, How the Confederate Cruisers Were Equipped | At the outbreak of the Civil War, Jefferson Davis sent merchant marine James D. Bulloch to Europe to clandestinely acquire arms and ships for the Confederate navy. His first stop was Britain, a country hedging its bets on who would win the War Between the States and willing to secretly provide the Confederacy with the naval technology to fight the Union on the high seas. Bulloch's mission continued for the length of the war, and his story, told by the man himself, is one of the least-understood aspects of the Civil War, even today. | en |
Louder Than Everything You Love | Louder Than Everything You Love is about transformation. The narrator in these poems is many: women who talk to the dead, women who mourn dead mothers and grandmothers, women suicides, women who've been raped/escaped rape, women who cradle premature babies, women who suffer depression, women who prepare the bodies of the dead, women who exist between their children's bodily needs ("this body-psalm of need the only holiness I know") and saints' incorruptible bodies.
These women also live inside themselves, contending with the wolves within, asking: "How do I measure the body's gardens form within its bone fences?" The dead, the living and the divine inhabit this collection - they're looking for kinship, remembrance, for some kind of communion. The poems in Louder Than Everything You Love are about the struggle of living in a body, being a parent, trying to find the balance between what our lives on earth mean/what it means to come to terms with dying. | en |

El Socialista Sentimental | El socialista sentimental narra, de manera critica y con una segura ideologia progresista, las contradicciones internas del PSOE en catorce anos de gobierno. Francisco Umbral no ha creado personajes-ensayo sino seres reales, unos famosos y conocidos, otros fabulados y reconocibles, aunque todos ellos con vida propia y peripecia personal.
La novela, ambientada en un pequeno pueblo de la provincia de Madrid, nos permite observar, como el cientifico con su microscopio, a los pequenos seres de las bases del partido y sus pequenos problemas, que no son sino el vivo reflejo de los grandes problemas nacionales que ha vivido y sigue viviendo Espana. Asis y Bustarviejo, joven socialista ilusionado el uno y veterano militante marginado por su heterodoxia el otro, quedaran como una pareja novelesca perdurable y muy espanola. Y con ellos, todo un mundo de personajes, amores y conflictos que constituyen la pequena y lozana vida del pueblo real o imaginado y de sus despiertos y actualisimos habitantes. El socialista sentimental es una novela insolita dentro de la obra de Francisco Umbral, quien inventa un nuevo realismo para reflejar el desencanto de las bases del PSOE. | es |

When her mother presses her about settling down, Abby tells her a little white lie: she's dating Mark Thornton, the handsome and gruff rancher who both frustrates and makes her heart flutter every time they meet.
When Mark overhears Abby's lie, he decides to cut her a deal: to keep his silence regarding their make-believe relationship, she'll come to live with him on his ranch until his broken arm heals.

As feelings start to bloom between them, neither is sure what is real and what's make-believe. Yet the sizzling attraction between them is anything but fake, and with every kiss and every touch, they fall harder for each other.
But as their pasts begin to creep toward them, unearthing secrets both would rather keep buried, Abby and Mark must learn to trust each other--or risk losing the love both never knew they needed. | en |
