Pages : 20
Book Description
Pure Joy and Fierce Competition Tonn thrills at the sight of airhorses, even after tough months as a rider-in-training. Knowing every day brings him closer to a pairing of his own. And the ultimate freedom of taking to the skies. But conflicts with other riders prove the bigger challenge. Can Tonn learn to overcome difficulties and trust himself? Also available in the collection Fantastic Side Trips: Side Characters Take Center Stage An excerpt from Trusting Their Magic: The Match That Defines a Lifetime Tonn jumped at Master Adur's sharp voice. "How did the airhorses learn the flight pattern we're observing right now? Tonn?" He was certain he knew the answer, but a rush of nerves sent his belly twisting anyway. "Same way landhorses do, or fish or fowl or anything else, Master. They're playing. Or at least that's how it starts out." "Exactly so." Master Adur's warm smile balanced out her sometimes harsh tones and fierce expressions. "The wild colony of airhorses not far from here does much the same every morning when the weather's fair. Have any of you had a chance to observe them in their own play?" Every hand shot up. Tonn took every chance he got to take the long walk out past Maestar's towering city wall, cutting through the low, wide passage out to the rocky cliffs overlooking the sea. He wasn't the only one who made the trip by the faintest light of dawn, hoping to catch a display even more breathtaking than the one over their heads.

Book Description
A Journey of Desperation and Hope Thora's world changed in ten short years. From the promise of safe genetic modifications to a vicious disease wiping out billions. Now she and other GenMods hide themselves, fighting to survive in a failing landscape. Then Thora and her huge GenMod cats take a chance that might change everything. An excerpt from Survivors of the Malance: A Chance for Survival, or the End of Everything Thora took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. She caught a strong whiff of how scared these two were on the breeze. And that there were several more frightened humans not far behind them. "There are only seventeen of us," she said. "I'm by far the oldest, so I volunteered to come out here to try to find you. We're not going to make it through another winter, not even with the cats helping us hunt." Gun-woman shrugged, shaking her head. But Thora was sure a frown of concern crossed the unarmed woman's face. "Listen, I understand why you don't want us around," Thora said. "But we didn't make the modifications, you have to know that. Our grandparents and parents did it, and some of them didn't even want us after we were born. A few of the kids with me were abandoned after they didn't come out matching specifications. Even these huge cats can't make it without us."

Book Description
When Dreams Find Wings Mranes loves life along the Wrynath Sea. Scarlet sand and warm water, hard work surrounded by family. But her heart and imagination yearn for the sky and adventure. And a glorious airhorse to take her there. What will she learn about herself and the life ahead of her, on one special night when magic and desire collide? Also available in the collection Fantastic Side Trips: Side Characters Take Center Stage. An excerpt from Wings of the Heart: The Launch of All of Her Dreams "Will they get upset if I go now, Father? I don't want to make anyone feel bad." "The younger ones won't likely notice. And the older ones will know exactly why you enjoy extra time this evening. Your birthday is tomorrow, remember? Your fourteenth." Mranes expected a fine meal this evening, and gifts. Hopefully books with tales of faraway lands, or maybe one of her father's fine tunics made especially for her. She preferred those to gowns, much to her grandmother's disappointment. "I don't think I've ever forgotten my birthday, not since I was old enough to understand what it was." "What you don't yet know is this one is special. Tonight your mother and I will help you recall your sleeping lifetime in a different way than we have before." Mranes shivered as the breeze cooled her legs, startling after so long in the warm water. And not a little bit from the idea of having one of her sleeping lifetimes recalled.

In Service to a Superior Species

Pages : 21
Book Description
Her Oasis of Calm in a Difficult Time Janet prefers cats to people. The endless variety of personalities, voices, colors, and cuddles keep her calm in a hectic world. So when the world begins to close down, volunteering to care for cats makes sense. But Janet learns sometimes people need care too. And cats know how to help. An excerpt from In Service to a Superior Species: Offering Comfort in the Best Way Possible After stopping to send up his perky greeting to each of the relatively happy cats, Bitu stopped in front of Moxie's home away from home. Rather than raising his head and calling out his version of "Good morning," he sat, wrapping his tail around his feet. He purred softly, watching the bars the whole time. Janet walked over just as quietly, peering inside instead of reaching for the bars right away. Moxie had scooted her bright pink cushion as far away from the front as she could get it, nearly blocking the door to the litter box area. She'd piled a purple fuzzy blanket up on one edge like a tiny barricade, so only a hint of sleek, pure black showed. After a few seconds, Moxie raised her head. One orange eye opened, then the other. She slow-blinked at Janet, lifted her slender tail in a dainty greeting, and snuggled down behind the blanket again.

Pages : 156
Book Description
Learn about the human experience of loss of a loved one and coming to terms with the grief. A few years after losing his spouse, Bruce Walker spent the summer of 2012 touring Canada from Nova Scotia right across the country up to Dawson City and Whitehorse, Yukon. From there he traversed British Columbia, including his birthplace on Vancouver Island. With only his trusty Rav4, a foam mattress, his rooftop carrier and many memories, Bruce reconnected with places and people and even family he hadn’t seen in decades. And along the way he reconnected with himself and came to a life-altering realization: he was learning to live with the past rather than living in the past. Come along as Bruce explores Canada, revels in its beauty and finds his place in it as he enters the third act of his life – retirement and travel adventures. Bruce’s bucket list is a long one. And he keeps adding to it. But just maybe, you’ll find some of his destinations landing on your bucket list – like Tofino, Victoria, Nanaimo, Athabaska, Wawa, Thunder Bay, Gaspé, the 1,000 Islands…

Book Description
Escaping Her Own Past The new Baroness Dyna Bacalan faces constant change and adjustment. Learning her role and home of Profant. Enjoying married life with her beloved husband. But a mysterious voice from the past haunts her mind and threatens her happiness. Will asking for help set Dyna free, or send her deeper into madness? Also available in the collection Fantastic Side Trips: Side Characters Take Center Stage An excerpt from Lines of Strength and Grace: Taking the hardest step: asking for help At moments like this, Dyna wished for a bit less understanding and freedom, and more of the clear knowledge of what was expected of her that she'd had growing up. Yes, she'd chafed under all the rules, especially after she met Hildar. But she'd had fairly easy choices then as well. Do what she should, or accept the consequences of refusing. Which generally resulted in her doing what she should have in the first place. All the while, she got precious little practice in deciding for herself without considering whether rebellion or even protest was worth it. "Since you brought me here," she said, "you must trust this woman's abilities. So I shall at least hear what she has to say." Berga lowered her head in the closest thing to a bow she'd offered as they walked. "As you like. I'll accompany you for introductions, then follow your wishes about whether you'd prefer me to stay or go." Berga took several steps before Dyna got her own feet moving.
