Book Description
This modernist, experimental, and controversial novel examines gender politics in the lives of an American family. Lesbian poet, journalist, and illustrator Djuna Barnes’s debut novel was a sensation when it was originally published in 1928. A bawdy parody of patriarchal repression, the book was heavily censored upon its release in America. An exploration of sexuality that is thought to be based on Barnes’s own life, the novel depicts a family headed by polygamist Wendell Ryder through the eyes of his daughter, Julia. Employing a variety of literary styles, from parable, poetry, sentimental fiction, and drama, Barnes satirizes masculinity and femininity in one of modern literature’s first and best examinations of gender and power dynamics.

***This is the COMPLETE serial, parts 1 & 2.*** From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Cali MacKay... The last thing I expected was for Sadie to show up unexpectedly at my front door. A human on a mountain filled with lethal shifters—and she doesn’t have a clue that all the things that go bump in the night are actually real. Yet as I hold her tight in my arms, there’s no turning back for me as I realize that she’s not just the woman I’ve spent every night talking to for the last two months—she’s also my fated mate, even if Thayer, alpha of a nearby pack, wants her all to himself. Yet Sadie has secrets of her own, and she hasn’t simply come for a visit, but is on the run, hoping that if she just leaves Phoenix, she’ll also leave her problems behind. Except that her problem has a name, and he isn’t going to give up that easily. ***This 2-part serial is Ryder’s complete story, and ends with no cliffhanger and a HEA. ***

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.

In the spring of 1865, while serving as a Union Army scout, William Will F. Ryder had seen enough to turn his stomach! The abuse of the Navajo Indian nation made him cringe each time he heard a whip pop or saw a soldier strike an Indian brave with a rifle butt. Colonel Zachary Carlsons unit was sometimes brutal as they marched the Navajo Indians at gunpoint from their beloved sacred mountains near Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, to Bosque Redondo, New Mexico. Thats when he determined enough is enough! He had no regrets as he saddled his paint stallion, Captain, and headed for Texas. He knew the risk involved as he traveled alone. Little did he know his life would be changed forever. A psycho killer was on the loose in Eastern New Mexico. By chance, Will Ryder would become involved as the killer terrorized the citizens of Hondo, along with ranchers throughout the area! Ryder stood six foot three inches and covered all the ground he stood on. He was not afraid to take chances when necessary, sometimes depending on his .44 Henry rifle or his .44 Colt sidearm to settle life issues. These dangers included warring Indians, buffalo hunters, bullies, drunks, rattlesnakes, and a psycho, blood-thirsty killer! He would take on all comers, not necessarily in that order. In the days, months, and years ahead, he sought only peace with all mankind. Along lifes trail, he encountered the beautiful Claudia Marie Watson, owner of the Silver Top Ranch. At first meeting, little did he know she would become a big part of his life. Let the story begin.

I'm a Navy SEAL and a member of the elite Night Eagle Security team, so you better believe I take every one of my missions seriously. But this one is different. I'm protecting Frannie - she's beautiful, fiercely independent, and on the run from her criminal ex-husband. I know he's dangerous, that he'll do anything to get Frannie back. But there's no way I'll ever let that happen... Trouble is, I can tell Frannie is hiding something from me. Something big. Since she barely got away from her ex alive, I understand that she's wary, but I can't help her if she doesn't let me in. And no matter how badly I want a future with her, I swore I'd never allow myself to be with someone who doesn't trust me. But when Frannie's secret comes out, I have to decide whether her betrayal is enough to make me walk away...or if I'll protect the woman I love no matter the cost.!--~b~--
