Book Description
Ocean Siliker has come back to Harkness, New Brunswick in defeat, after failing to set New York on fire with her playwriting. The first item on her agenda? Climbing White Crow Cliff, where her best friend Lacey Douglas died six years ago. If she conquers the mountain, perhaps she can rediscover her courage. But the only thing she finds herself is…lost. Family obligations have left Titus Standish stuck in Harkness. While his younger siblings went off into the world, he stayed, working the farm and running the local search and rescue. He was there when Lacey fell to her death and blames himself. He dreads the day another mission takes him up there again. But when Ocean’s mother calls, concerned that her daughter is wandering the mountain, he leaps into action. Ocean is thrilled to be found…until she sees her savior. She’s known Titus Standish all her life, and has loved him almost that long. But at four years his junior, she was just a kid with a crush. When Titus finds her, he’s determined to march her back down the mountain to safety. But Ocean has other plans; she’ll be damned if she’ll give up this trek. Yet all trails seem to lead to one place…straight into Titus’s arms.

Small-town boy Luke Binelli could hit a baseball, and he could hit it hard. That one skill would open up a world he could have never imagined; a world of big money, beautiful women, and fast cars. Luke would soon learn that his lifestyle did not come without a price. In an attempt to make his dreams a reality, Luke is drawn into the sordid world of drug smugglers and con artists. 'Greed is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.' St. Thomas Aquinas

Yesterday's Tomorrows
Author: W. H. G. Armytage
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000512266
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
First published in 1968, Yesterday’s Tomorrows elucidates on the favourite occupation of man: forecasting the future. By man’s predictions, he mirrors his own wish-fulfilments, displacements, projections, denials, evasions and withdrawals. These predications can take the form of countries of the imagination, ‘mirror worlds’ like Rabelais’ Ever-Ever lands or the Erewhon of Butler. Alternatively, they may spring from panic, reflecting fear rather than hope, often manifesting themselves, in our technological age, as reports of ‘flying saucers’ or invasions from another planet. In either form, they provide philosophers, scientists, doctors and sociologists with material for evaluating man’s future needs, offering both criticism of our present society, plans for our future, and release from tension and disequilibrium. Professor Armytage shows in this book how such ‘visions’ can, and do, refresh minds for renewed grappling with the present by arming them with ideas for man’s future needs. He indicates that, out of an apparent welter of futuristic fantasies, a constructive debate about tomorrow is emerging, providing us with operational models of what tomorrow could be. This book will hold special interest for students of philosophy and of English literature.

Yesterday's Demon

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
“Can yesterday’s demon be the hero of today?” **Yesterday’s Demon is book 3 in the Sharpest Kiss series, but it can be read as a stand-alone story.** She’s got a talking dog, a magic rock, a supernatural mystery to solve, and a hot friend determined to make her his. Can an ex-vampire girl find love and redemption after more than nine centuries of iniquity…or will her dark secret doom everything she’s ever longed for? Marta has a big secret. She may look like a teenager, but she’s really almost a thousand years old. For centuries, she existed as a vampire, but now she’s just a normal human girl again, stripped of all her supernatural powers and many of her memories. But whether she remembers it or not, she knows she used to be a monster. She did a lot of horrible things in her past. She’s determined to spend what’s left of her human life trying to make amends by helping other people in trouble, especially in cases where her knowledge of the paranormal might come in handy. When her friend Harris calls on her, asking for her help finding his college roommate’s missing sister, Marta agrees to open an investigation. Dark magic might be involved in the young girl’s disappearance, but Marta’s confident she can unravel the case; she knows a few spells herself, and she’s got an enchanted talking dog and a psychic stone to help her out. What worries her most is the brand-new set of human hormones raging through her system, making it next to impossible to keep things with Harris strictly platonic. Marta may have made the mistake of locking lips with Harris once or twice before, but she knows it would be wrong to ever let it happen again—and certainly to take things any further than that. Her past is just too ugly, and her new life is too bizarre and dangerous. Harris is better off staying far away from her. If only he didn’t seem so intent on doing just the opposite. And if only his piercing green eyes and sultry kisses weren’t so incredibly irresistible… MORE ABOUT THE BOOK: Yesterday’s Demon is a complete novel of 90,000 words. It is narrated in third person from Marta’s point of view. It is Book 3 in the Sharpest Kiss series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story. If you would prefer to read the other books first, the order is: #1: The Sharpest Kiss (Lucy and Aaron) #2: Back to Bite You (Jessica and Nathan) #3: Yesterday’s Demon (Marta and Harris) Reader advisory: Yesterday’s Demon is a kisses-only romance. It contains mild cursing and mild sensuality.

Book Description
Finding yourself in a dumpster is an awful way to start your day. not knowing who you are is even worse. In her late twenties and looking like an angel, one memory haunts her - is this smiling face that of a friend or an enemy? This young woman's journey of self-discovery begins with her remedial education and ends with a dramatic rebirth. Samantha awakes as an innocent child and blossoms into a competent, compassionate woman. She had no memory , no name, and possessed a dead woman's wallet. Determining the identity of this beautiful woman and how she came to be wandering the streets of this town should have been Officer Randall Brandt's main concern. It was becoming difficult to keep his thoughts on his job when all he wanted was to be near her. My first attempt at putting my creations on paper and into the mass market is finally becoming a reality. I have been dreaming up characters and writing about them since greade school. I hope you enjoy reading abou them as much as I have enjoyed telling their story! Currently, I am fighting with the characters in my second novel, they can be shy and snooty and sometimes just downright stubborn in their refusals to cooperate. Still, I persist because I believe their stories could shine the light on solutions to similar real-life problems. So prey for my patience and watch for "I face the morning" coming soon.
