Book Description
Don’t miss-out on Kitty Reese’s twisty, and chaotic Debut novel … Sometimes the darkest sins, heal the deepest wounds ... Delve into an insipidly dark journey, of shadowed craggy healing, between two wayward souls encapsulated in mourning, against the backdrop of rural Georgia countryside … Cessa and Tucker’s bohemian-esque tale is uniquely woven together with the combination of descriptive and scenic imagery. And told from both of their unique point-of-views with a bold, unflinching vulnerability, that is sure to leave you desperately craving more. Celeste ‘Cessa’ Huxley, has only known a life of exceptional privilege, due to her upbringing in Upper Manhattan, New York City. She’s used to living in a luxury high-rise penthouse built by her paternal grandfather, and having the very best of everything that money can buy. Even her two best friends are fabulously wealthy and rather snobbish like her. But when both her parents and younger brother are all tragically killed after a drunk driver slams into their vehicle, Cessa, wakes to find a nick-beaked raven at her hospital room window when she learns that she is the sole survivor of her known family, and that the only family she still apparently has are an estranged aunt and cousin, whom she’s never meant. Despite inheriting her parent’s immense wealth, Cessa, makes the decision to move down to Bishop, Georgia to her aunt’s farm, rather than battle-out emancipation in the courts. It’s only two years, right? No big deal. Tucker ‘Tuck’ Calloway, has only ever known his family’s 20-acre farm in the two-bit countryside of Bishop, Georgia. He’s grown up lending a helping hand around the farm, while trying to make up for all of his shortcomings with his Ma. But when his Pa passed away two years back, he left high school behind and set to work, seeing to the farm, while his grieving Ma wasted away on the couch drinking herself to death. In those two years, nothing much has changed and he goes about the same, solitary routines. Taking care of the crops and livestock, and riding his Pa-gifted horse, Padio. Until, he gets a call that seeks to turn everything on its head. Cessa and Tuck fail to get along from the second she arrives. Their personalities clash. He thinks of her as a ‘Princess’ and she thinks of him as a ‘Lowlife.’ Until one emotionally charged incident catapults them together in the most unlikely of ways. She finds there’s more to Tuck’s outward persona than meets the eye. It’s like there’s this familiar darkness in him that she’s seen once before, but she sealed the memory away in places she doesn’t think about. And he finds solace in her, despite the unworthiness he feels deep down. Along with this remote, burning fear that he carries. The fear, that she is someday going to leave him—and all of this—behind, for good. Or worse, he'll do something to ruin it himself, like he has every other good thing he's ever had. Can these two wayward souls find a way to even out their torrid pasts and pave a way for their long-term futures? Or are the things from their past bound to destroy the messy acheful thing they’ve somehow built together? And somewhere in it all, why can't Cess seem to shake the feeling that this nick-beaked raven is following her for a darker purpose? A reminder purpose?

In an asteroid in the Aurora star system, exoarcheologist Evan McElroy has made a discovery about the Versari, a long-departed alien race. Material, he thinks, for some great research papers.

Adventures in Bookbinding
Author: Jeannine Stein
Publisher: Quarry Books
ISBN: 1610580214
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Each project in this book combines bookbinding with a specific craft such as quilting, jewelry making, or polymer clay, and offer levels of expertise: basic, novice, and expert. Illustrated step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate how to construct the cover pages, and a unique binding technique, easy enough for a beginner to master. Each project also features two other versions with the same binding geared to those with more or less experience. The novice version is for those who have no knowledge of the craft and want shortcuts, but love the look. For the quilter's book, for example, vintage quilt pieces become the covers so all that's needing in the binding. Or if you're interested in wool felting use an old sweater. This offers great opportunities for upcycling. The expert version is for those who have a great deal of knowledge and proficiency of a certain craft - the master art quilter, for example. For this version, an expert guest artist has created the cover and the author has created the binding. This offers yet another creative opportunity - the collaborative project. Since crafters often get involved with round-robins and other shared endeavors, this will show them yet another way to combine their skills. No other craft book offers the possibilities and challenges that Adventures in Bookbinding does. Readers will return to it again and again to find inspiration and ideas.
