Don't Talk Back To Your Vampire
Author: Michele Bardsley
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1440619433
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
A single mom gets a tasty bite of undead romance in the second novel in the Broken Heart series. Ever since a master vampire became possessed and bit a bunch of parents, the town of Broken Heart, Oklahoma, has catered to those of us who don’t rise until sunset—even if that means PTA meetings at midnight. As for me, Eva LeRoy, town librarian and single mother to a teenage daughter, I’m pretty much used to being “vampified.” You can’t beat the great side effects: no crow’s-feet or cellulite! But books still make my undead heart beat—and, strangely enough, so does Lorćan the Loner. My mama always told me everyone deserves a second chance. Still, it’s one thing to deal with the usual undead hassles: rival vamps, rambunctious kids adjusting to night school, and my daughter’s new boyfriend, who’s a vampire hunter, for heaven’s sake. It’s quite another to fall for the vampire who killed you...

Illumination
Author: Shaleem Dzon
Publisher: Gatekeeper Press
ISBN: 1662953739
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
On January 11, 2017 Shaleem wrote her first poem about love and loss. Fifteen months earlier, she married the love of her life, Brad. He was handsome, successful, fit, and fun. And more than that, he had a zest for life like none she had ever met, for he had faced childhood cancer, and knew as well as anyone how precious each day was. On their one-year anniversary, after his sudden weight loss, they faced the worst oncology appointment anyone can face. Zero treatment options, zero percent chance of survival, 3-6 months. The first poem written the night he died, lead to a series of poems that began to chronicle the landscape she traversed emotionally, contemplatively, and spiritually as she moved through the darkness of grief and despair toward the light of healing. Little did she know that six years later, on the journey toward Illumination Rock to scatter their beloved dog’s ashes in the same place she had scattered Brad’s ashes, tragedy would strike again. This time it was her boyfriend, her new love, and yet, once again, it was fatal. This book, Illumination a grievers journey through the darkness, is so much more than a book about grief. It is about the heart crushing, drop you to your knees experience. It is about the times when grief enters our lives with overwhelming force, consumes our thoughts, emotions, and even our physical wellbeing. It is during these times of profound sorrow that we often find ourselves searching for solace, understanding and a glimmer of hope. As you read Illumination, you will touch upon things that will awaken your heart. You will experience a connection with this extraordinary woman, who, through her own journey, and as a poet at heart, gives fresh words to this thing called, perhaps too simply, grief. Book Review: Dr. Alan Pickering’s words of acclaim: Prepare to embark on a transformative journey as you turn the pages of Illumination. Shaleem writes in such a manner as to transport you to deeper levels of thinking, feeling and understanding of the wide range of human emotions. Her surprising mastery of putting feelings into words will drive you deeper into your soul. Through poignant poetry and storytelling, and profound wisdom, Shaleem’s work not only captivates the mind but also touches the heart in ways that linger long after the final page is turned. She stands shoulder to shoulder with the greatest who have ever penned a poem. Prepare to be moved, enlightened, and forever changed by this extraordinary treasure.

Whereof One Cannot Speak
Author: Barbara Grenfell Fairhead
Publisher: Sunstone Press
ISBN: 1611395275
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Octavia Chavez, eighteen and fiercely passionate, has spent her life listening to the remote music of the stars, which only she seems to hear. She has a forbidden love of which she dares not speak, and a longing for wild, empty places. Her one true friend is a sanguine, seventy-seven-year-old wood-carver, Alejandro Jaramillo. Alejandro has been carving angels ever since he was summoned to do so at the age of ten. These two unlikely friends share one thing: a sense of having been called to something that lifts them towards an experience of the sacred. But when Octavia is involved in a life-threatening accident, and Alejandro begins to have dreams in which thousands of angels fall away from him into a bottomless abyss, they are both forced to question everything they have come to assume about themselves and their place in the world. So begins a voyage of discovery on which silence and dark music, new love and ancient landscapes will test their resolve to inhabit their own, inimitable lives. In prose that is both refreshingly muscular and hauntingly lyrical, Grenfell Fairhead invites us to examine what it means to grow up and truly belong, but also―even more crucially―what it could mean to grow down into one’s own center, learning the slow, fierce discipline of paying attention to each fleeting moment.

And We Came Outside and Saw the Stars Again
Author: Ilan Stavans
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781632063021
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
In this rich, eye-opening, and uplifting digital anthology, dozens of esteemed writers, poets, and artists from more than thirty countries send literary dispatches from life during the pandemic. Net proceeds benefit booksellers in need. As our world is transformed by the coronavirus pandemic, writers offer a powerful antidote to the fearful confines of isolation: a window onto lives and corners of the world beyond our own. In Mauritius, a journalist contends with denialism and mourns the last days of summer, lost to the lockdown. In Paris, a writer struggles to protect his young son from fear. In Chile, protesters who prevailed against tear gas and rubber bullets are now halted by a virus. In Queens, after thirteen-hour shifts in the ER, a doctor dons running shoes and makes the long jog home. And We Came Outside and Saw the Stars Again takes its title from the last line of Dante's Inferno, when the poet and his guide emerge from hell to once again behold the beauty of the heavens. In that spirit, the stories, essays, poems, and artwork in this collection--from beloved authors including Jhumpa Lahiri, Mario Vargas Llosa, Eavan Boland, Daniel Alarcón, Jon Lee Anderson, Claire Messud, Ariel Dorfman, and many more--detail the harrowing experiences of life in the pandemic, while pointing toward a less isolated future. Together, they comprise a profound global portrait of the defining moment of our time, and send a clarion call for solidarity across borders. Our literary culture depends on bookstores--and those irreplaceable sources of conversation and community, of inspiration and solace, have been decimated by the lockdown. Net proceeds from And We Came Outside and Saw the Stars Again will go to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, which helps the passionate booksellers we readers depend upon.
