Book Description
It’s only a bottle washed up on a beach…isn’t it? Magically forced through a portal by an imprisoned sorcerer, Jinger’s optimistic fairy nature is tested when her own magic fails. She needs to call upon her meager survival skills, figure out where in the many worlds she is—and find her way home. Born with no magic, Taj’s sorcerer father, Ib, deemed him unworthy, but allowed him to live. Taj accepts his life and strives to protect those forced to serve the sorcerer’s pleasures. The winged woman is nothing like any he’s encountered. She is light—and hope. Barely acknowledging the changes Jinger brings to him, Taj vows Ib will never touch her. Magic and desire collide when Jinger is caught between a sorcerer’s lust for power and his son’s fierce determination to protect her.

'I still feel somewhat nervous encroaching on the Palin territory of writing a travel diary based on a journey... thought it is true, I reason, that all the Pythons have been involved in documentaries. So this must be a Python thing. What is this urge to probe and examine by ex-comedians? Are they tired of dressing up as women? Surely not.' - Eric Idle The man who brought you the anthems 'Always look on the bright side of life' and 'Sit on my Face and Tell me That You Love Me' shows his naughty bits - and much more! As he crossed the US on The Greedy Bastard Tour, Eric Idle kept a diary on the Monty Python website updating fans with his experiences, insights and observations. Inspired by those blogs, THE GREEDY BASTARD DIARY is an honest, hysterical and moving book - part travelogue, part memoir - that chronicles those 80 days on the road, offering Idle's thoughts on his career, personal life and the country he now calls his home. Reflective, ironic, and stamped with his renowned wit, this illuminating work takes readers on a personal tour with the legendary star and offers an intimate, close-up look inside the man as never before.

An assassin by trade, a loner by nature, Mercy is sent to infiltrate the Cartels and unmask the identity of their new silent partner. Instead, she discovers a darker plan threatening to crumble the entire Southwest and ends up with a hefty bounty on her head.
