Book Description
Ex marks the murder scene…or does it? New relationships can be fraught with emotional missteps. Charity Hughes’s awkward encounter with Shelby Howard, Noah Jenkins’s ex, at his front door certainly qualifies, but as they’re clearing up that sort-of-minor misunderstanding, a new challenge enters Charity’s shop. A witch’s cat familiar pining for the impossible — kittens of her own. The kitty conundrum takes a back seat when a frantic Shelby calls with a rather pointed problem. An ex-fiancé dead on her living room floor, run through with an antique sword. Now the prime suspect, Shelby begs Charity for help to prove her innocence. There’s just one problem. Using magic to solve the case risks outing her as a witch to the public...including Noah. But Charity brings all her somewhat-inconsistent abilities to bear in the investigation, even calling on Milo, the spaniel familiar, to nose around. But it’s the Tarot that cuts through the static toward a culprit who's definitely not an ex-anything. It's someone who opens a whole new kit and caboodle of lies. Note: Cauldrons and Cats is Book 2 in USA Today bestselling author Christine Pope’s “Familiar Spirits” series. Contains a cat familiar with mommy fever, a doggo familiar pining for his feline friend, and a killer who does it old school — up close and personal.

Book Description
Every family has annoying relatives; mine just happen to be undead.My Grandmother, Agnes Bartlett, used to own Cardinal Woolsey's knitting shop in Oxford then died and left her shop to me, without informing me that she wasn't actually dead. She's a vampire and part of the world's strangest craft circle - the Vampire Knitting Club.As you might imagine, this means she's free to interfere in how I run the business that used to be hers. She's trying to teach me to knit and it's not going well. She's also trying to teach me how to be a witch, since it turns out I'm from a long line of witches. Another tiny detail about my family that no one ever told me, along with the long-lost witch cousins I recently discovered. But I'm learning.

My archaeologist parents are coming to visit and bringing me a gift I could do without. So, to recap, I run a knitting shop and I can't knit. I'm a beginning witch who can't always control her cat, never mind her magic, and my love life is as tangled as the last sock I tried to knit. Oh, and for some reason, I keep getting involved in murder investigations. Good thing I have my vampire knitters to help sniff out clues. At least I've finally hired the perfect assistant, a real demon with the crochet hook. Or is she too perfect?Crochet and Cauldrons is the third book in the Vampire Knitting Club series of fun, paranormal cozy mysteries.Grab yours today!"I was up until 2 a.m. I just couldn't stop reading." ***** Five star Amazon review of Frosted Shadow, a Toni Diamond mystery."Loved it!

Book Description
Winged twins, Catherine and Connor Manchester, are the magical children of Penelope Manchester and St. Michael the Archangel. At the age of five, the fairies prophesize that the twins’ soul mates are also twins which haven’t been born yet. On a mission from God, Michael takes the twins to vanquish the demon Anti Anima Mate. This demon gains powers by killing one of a soul mate pair, while leaving the surviving mate to suffer tragic loss. But this demon escapes. On Catherine’s and Connor’s 16th birthday, all Manchester Covens worldwide meet at Castle Garrison in Scotland to celebrate the coming of magical age for the first Manchester twins to be born in four hundred years. Starting with the Elders, each Manchester presents the twins with a gift. The most important gift was the Zirconium Cauldron. Resembling a giant, hollowed-out diamond, this cauldron can only be yielded by twins to amplify their already tremendous powers even more. But more important than the Zirconium Cauldron, the magical twins meet their soul mates—Lilly and Grier Manchester Garrison. These distant cousins, also twins, are only eleven years old. They vow to meet again in ten years when they are old enough to court. Ten years later, both pairs of soul mates reunite. But before they can fulfill the prophecy, they must battle the demon Anti Anima Mate and the evil Chimera sorcerer who wishes to absorb their twin powers. Zirconium Cauldron is full of magical creatures, angels, demons, fairies, and even a dragon. Will fate prevail and bring two pairs of soul mates together?

Mirroring China's Past
Author: Tao Wang
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300228635
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
A lavishly illustrated book that offers an in-depth look at the cultural practices surrounding the tradition of collecting ancient bronzes in China during the 18th and 19th centuries In ancient China (2000–221 b.c.) elaborate bronze vessels were used for rituals involving cooking, drinking, and serving food. This fascinating book not only examines the cultural practices surrounding these objects in their original context, but it also provides the first in-depth study tracing the tradition of collecting these bronzes in China. Essays by international experts delve into the concerns of the specialized culture that developed around the vessels and the significant influence this culture, with its emphasis on the concept of antiquity, had on broader Chinese society. While focusing especially on bronze collections of the 18th and 19th centuries, this wide-ranging catalogue also touches on the ways in which contemporary artists continue to respond to the complex legacy of these objects. Packed with stunning photographs of exquisitely crafted vessels, Mirroring China’s Past is an enlightening investigation into how the role of ancient bronzes has evolved throughout Chinese history.
