Book Description
Ley Ryders is a fast-paced young adult fantasy with multiple, interwoven plots including characters with physical challenges and a rich, original mythology. From the birth of the world, the mystical force known as the Ley has flowed, bringing life to all beings and creatures. Only a select group of women, the Ley Ryders, can sense Its power, devoting their lives to its influence, bringing help and protection to those in need. But unseen evil threatens to darken the might of the Ley. Petronia is the daughter of a simple blacksmith yet she feels she is destined for something more. Mysteriously mute from birth, she believes her fate is to become a Ryder. Her protective brother Hayden, however, isn’t so sure. Pet has abilities more acute than any Ryder but will her skills bring peace or unimaginable darkness? Under the watchful protection of the Ryders and accompanied by Aarold, a bookish but frail prince denied his throne by the deceitful manipulation of his aunt, they set out on a perilous quest to discover the truth of Petronia’s destiny. Ideal for readers aged 16 and over, this is a thrilling fantasy novel from the mind of the creator of the ‘Jersey Demon Trilogy’ about the paths we must take to find our own voice. Ley Ryders gives prominence to those who have physical impairments through the unique characters included and will be enjoyed by fans of Ilona Andrews and J R R Martin.

Dueling Identities
Author: Doreen Anderson-Facile
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739115879
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Dueling Identities: The Christian Biker examines the emerging phenomena of Christian motorcycle ministries. Qualitative and exploratory in nature, Dueling Identities shines a spotlight onto a subculture that has thus far been un-researched by focusing on the Black Sheep Harley-Davidsons for Christ Motorcycle Ministry (BSHDFC). This research examines the contradictions facing the Christian biker in regard to the conflicting cultural norms and values within the "Christian" and "biker" communities. The Christian biker faces the contradiction of maintaining both the "bad boy" image and the "Christian" image. Seeking to unravel this contradiction, Doreen Anderson-Facile explores how the Christian biker identity is developed and maintained. This study is framed in identity theory which focuses on identity construction, commitment, salience and self -knowledge.

Bike Lust
Author: Barbara Joans
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 0299173534
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Bike Lust roars straight into the world of women bikers and offers us a ride. In this adventure story that is also an insider’s study of an American subculture, Barbara Joans enters as a passenger on the back of a bike, but soon learns to ride her own. As an anthropologist she untangles the rules, rituals, and rites of passage of the biker culture. As a new member of that culture, she struggles to overcome fear, physical weakness, and a tendency to shoot her mouth off—a tendency that very nearly gets her killed. Bike Lust travels a landscape of contradictions. Outlaws still chase freedom on the highway, but so do thousands of riders of all classes, races, and colors. Joans introduces us to the women who ride the rear—the biker chick, the calendar slut straddling the hot engine, the back-seat Betty at the latest rally, or the underage groupie at the local run. But she also gives us the first close look at women who ride in their own right, on their own bikes, as well as a new understanding of changing world of male bikers. These are ordinary women’s lives made extraordinary, adding a dimension of courage to the sport not experienced by males, risking life and limb for a glimpse of the very edge of existence. This community of riders exists as a primal tribute to humanity's lust for freedom.
