*** A Standalone Short Story with No Cliffhanger! *** After a fifty year treaty between the inhabitants of Bradenton and Dallin, the Vampire King, the Lycans have enjoyed an easy existence among their human charges. There is still a lot of mistrust between the Lycans and Vampires, but with the latter’s numbers dwindling, the region has lived in relative peace for decades. When two Lycan sentries come across a lone human woman running scared in the woods, they realize that things are not what they’ve seemed to be. Sterling and Conrad must decide whether to save the young woman or leave her to her own devices in the woods. But who is Lizette, and how did Dallin come to have her in his possession? Dallin’s purpose is a mystery to everyone, including Lizette, but one thing is clear – he was saving her for something much more important than his next meal. WARNING: It contains mature language and content, intended for 18+ readers only!

Golden Tongues
Author: Luis Alfaro
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350431567
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
A first-of-its-kind anthology that explores adaptations of 17th-century Hispanic comedia within contemporary Los Angeles theater. Performed outdoors for audiences of all classes and genders, comedias questioned orthodox ideologies and power systems of the 17th-century Hispanic world: 400 years later, these stories are still being used to call for change, but within modern-day America. Golden Tongues: Adapting Hispanic Classical Theater in Los Angeles explores how adaptations of source texts by authors such as Lope de Vega, Calderón, and María de Zayas harness their energy and themes. Touching on key modern issues like the intersection of power and sexuality, gentrification, and Black identities, this anthology bridges the gap between the classical and the contemporary. Featuring seven plays, each with an introduction that situates the adaptation in relation to its source and contextualizes its performance, this play collection both highlights the longevity of Hispanic classic theater and celebrates the diversity of modern day performance.

"Masterly…Quade has created a world bristling with compassion and humanity. The characters and the challenges they face are wholly realized and moving; their journeys span a wide spectrum of emotion and it is impossible not to root for [them]." —Alexandra Chang, New York Times Book Review It’s Holy Week in the small town of Las Penas, New Mexico, and thirty-three-year-old unemployed Amadeo Padilla has been given the part of Jesus in the Good Friday procession. He is preparing feverishly for this role when his fifteen-year-old daughter Angel shows up pregnant on his doorstep and disrupts his plans for personal redemption. With weeks to go until her due date, tough, ebullient Angel has fled her mother’s house, setting her life on a startling new path. Vivid, tender, funny, and beautifully rendered, The Five Wounds spans the baby’s first year as five generations of the Padilla family converge: Amadeo’s mother, Yolanda, reeling from a recent discovery; Angel’s mother, Marissa, whom Angel isn’t speaking to; and disapproving Tíve, Yolanda’s uncle and keeper of the family’s history. Each brings expectations that Amadeo, who often solves his problems with a beer in his hand, doesn’t think he can live up to. The Five Wounds is a miraculous debut novel from a writer whose stories have been hailed as “legitimate masterpieces” (New York Times). Kirstin Valdez Quade conjures characters that will linger long after the final page, bringing to life their struggles to parent children they may not be equipped to save.
