Book Description
Escape to worlds of shifters and secret magic in this steamy introductory collection to the varied series of Elva Birch! The Royal Dragons of Alaska is a wild fantasy romance romp with adventure and danger in an alternate world ruled by secret dragon shifters. Reluctant Royalty! Relentless enemies! The Dragon Prince of Alaska starts the series with a bang as Carina, framed for murder, flees to Alaska and finds a gorgeous guy...who definitely isn't a park ranger. The youngest of the brothers and most unsuitable potential heir, Toren never thought he'd be chosen by the magical Compact and is stunned to meet his mate squatting in a van on royal land. A Day Care for Shifters is a humorous, heartfelt series that asks the question: what do shifter single parents do with toddlers who can't keep secrets? Clearly, they need a day care like Tiny Paws, for shifters only! An adorable, addictive series set in a small town full of mystery and magic. In Wolf's Instinct, wolf shifter Roderick and lynx shifter Addison have to navigate their exes and oh-nos while trying to keep the day care she's come to Nickel City to work in open and solvent. Something weird is going on in the sleepy town of Anders Canyon, where ordinary people are Suddenly Shifters. This hilarious series of novellas and shorts starts with Something in the Water, when two neighbors, Julia and science fiction writer Francis, suddenly develop the bizarre ability to shift into animals. A crush and their shared secret quickly blossoms into something more! Lawn Ornament Shifters was supposed to be just an April Fool's prank, but the joke was on me, and I had to write The Flamingo's Fated Mate, a cross-your-legs funny, fated mates, forced proximity lark that turned into an entire series that I still insist I'm not writing. Stuck together in a (possibly haunted) hall without power! Silly Simon Says games! Two thousand cupcakes! A fort built from tablecloths! Terrible puns! These novels were previously published individually, and this edition also includes an exclusive bonus story in the same World of Instinct as A Day Care for Shifters. Slippery When What? is a lesbian forced proximity, fated mates (with a twist!), grumpy-and-sunshine, ice princess, shifter survival story set in the wilds of Alaska. Each of these stories stands completely alone, with a satisfying happy ever after and no cliffhangers.

Jingle bells and magic spells Daniella has everything she needs for a quiet Christmas at home with her dog, Fabio. She's got way too much food, a real Christmas tree, a cable station streaming non-stop holiday movies, and even fruitcake. All she needs now is an ornament for her tree... But what she gets instead is a glass dragon imprisoning a gorgeous naked guy from another world. Trey, fae dragon knight, protector of the realm, and defender of the fallen crown, has finally been released from his spell by a kiss from a beautiful woman (and her noble hound). His power hobbled, his dragon form embarrassingly small, he finds himself navigating a strange world of wonders like televisions, refrigerators, and ham sandwiches, absolutely enspelled by a woman who swears she isn't a witch. Then Trey discovers that the enemy from his homeworld is starting to spill into Daniella's and it will take power he no longer has to protect her... power that is locked in Daniella's heart. DRAGON OF GLASS is a short, steamy standalone dragon shifter novel.

Book Description
“A socialite bride, a $1 million inheritance, an older husband of questionable social rank, Yankees misbehaving on Southern soil . . . [A] web of intrigue” (Our State). A news media frenzy hurled the quiet resort community of Pinehurst, North Carolina, into the national spotlight in 1935 when hotel magnate Ellsworth Statler’s adopted daughter was discovered dead early one February morning weeks after her wedding day. A politically charged coroner’s inquest failed to determine a definitive cause of death, and the following civil action continued to expose sordid details of the couple’s lives. More than half a century later, the story was all but forgotten when local resident Diane McLellan spied an old photograph at a yard sale and became obsessed with solving the mystery. Her enthusiastic sleuthing captured the attention of Southern Pines resident and journalist Steve Bouser, who takes readers back to those blustery winter days so long ago in the search to reveal what really happened to Elva Statler Davidson. Includes photos “As compelling as any crime mystery an American writer has ever written: suspenseful, titillating, true and set in Moore County.” —The Pilot “Bouser is both compassionate and balanced in his reports of the Davidson affair.” —Authors ’Round the South “Bouser uses a story ‘ripped from the headlines’ as they say to reveal what’s known and unknown about a young Pinehurst socialite’s bizarre death . . . [He] takes the reader through the wild inquest, a later trial over Elva’s will, and buckets of speculation.” —Salisbury Post

Book Description
This book has become a standard text in seminary and university classrooms. The purpose of this second edition is to help readers come to a critically informed understanding of the Old Testament as the church's scripture. This book introduces the Old Testament both as a witness of ancient Israel and as a witness to the church and synagogue through the generations of those who have passed these texts on as scripture. The authors of this volume share a commitment to the interpretation of the Old Testament as a central resource for the life of the church today. At the same time, they introduce the Old Testament witness in a manner that honors the importance of biblical scholarship in helping students engage the variety of theological voices within the Old Testament. This second edition gives special attention to deepening and broadening theological interpretations by including, for example, issues related to gender, race, and class. It also includes more detailed maps and charts for student use.

Book Description
The newbie's going to have to learn fast and not die. Warrior Talia Avi lost her family, her people, and her telepathy to the fascist Federated Colonies military. Rescued from her ravaged planet by Dissenter guerillas three weeks ago, Talia’s in mourning, and struggling to connect with baseline humans. Extracting fourteen rebels on Rattri from under the noses of the occupying Federateds is the biggest mission she’s ever had. Sure, she can fight, but can she maneuver the subtle currents of an undercover mission, while still struggling with her own trauma? Can she truly trust her new compatriots without being able to feel their emotions and intentions? Miki, a brilliant engineer, and Faigin, an augmented soldier, are experienced with extractions, and have a straightforward plan. But of course, no plan survives the first encounter with the enemy. When the whole planet is ruled by your enemy, and the people you’re rescuing have their own conflicts, things can get sticky fast. Talia is going to have to forge new trust just to get out alive.

Not your usual space opera, A Place of Refuge features badass lesbians in space, the kindness of strangers, banter, close-knit friends, found family, trauma recovery, and lots of delicious food. Is it too late for a cynical super soldier to right the wrongs in her past? Enhanced soldier Faigin Balfour defected from a fascist military to the revolution. Once the deadliest of warriors, now she fights to settle into a peaceful life on the utopian planet Refuge. Her two closest friends, Talia and Miki, are there to help, and have invited Faigin to join their loving bond for a peace they can all share. Faigin’s not a romantic, but she still craves the intimacy they offer. That’s something she’s willing to work on. For her, though, love is not enough. She needs to contribute something of herself to the planet that saved all their lives, to pay back some good for the harm she caused. She needs a mission. Refuge has no need for killers, so how can she find value, now, in the technological augmentations that changed her body and shaped her life? She’ll need to confront her past as child soldier and lethal guerilla, and ponder what actions she can take in the present to uphold life instead of death. Can a killer become worthy of utopia?
