Book Description
Most people would call the cops if they found someone trying to rob them blind in the middle of the night. But since half the police force is made up of my nosy older brothers, I took matters into my own hands. Then the little thief called me Daddy, and I was hooked. And when my brothers’ investigation clashes with Wylde’s traumatic past, I’m determined to protect her. Even if it means turning my back on my own family.

Book Description
Life is a series of choices, and I always seem to make the wrong ones. When my overbearing, overprotective brothers kept me from becoming a cop, I became a private investigator instead. And when fate thrust two hot, dominant men into my life, I knew exactly who I wanted. But my choices have caught up to me, and I’m fighting for my life against a madman. The choices I make now won’t just determine my career path or who I allow in my bed. Now my choices are life… or death.

Book Description
Examining contemporary poetry by way of ethnicity and gender, Kenneth Lincoln tracks the Renaissance invention of the Wild Man and the recurrent Adamic myth of the lost Garden. He discusses the first anthology of American Indian verse, The Path on the Rainbow (1918), which opened Jorge Luis Borges' university surveys of American literature, to thirty-five contemporary Indian poets who speak to, with, and against American mainstream bards. From Whitman's free verse, through the Greenwich Village Renaissance (sandwiched between the world wars) and the post-apocalyptic Beat incantations, to transglobal questions of tribe and verse at the century's close, Lincoln shows where we mine the mother lode of New World voices, what distinguishes American verse, which tales our poets sing and what inflections we hear in the rhythms, pitches, and parsings of native lines. Lincoln presents the Lakota concept of "singing with the heart of a bear" as poetry which moves through an artist. He argues for a fusion of estranged cultures, tribal and émigré, margin and mainstream, in detailing the ethnopoetics of Native American translation and the growing modernist concern for a "native" sense of the "makings" of American verse. This fascinating work represents a major new effort in understanding American and Native American literature, spirituality, and culture.

Book Description
This man is the biggest, laziest, rottenest, most troublesome— And in the trenches he’s one of the best soldiers I ever had.’ Passport to Hell is the story of James Douglas Stark—Starkie—and his war. Journalist and novelist Robin Hyde came across Starkie while reporting in Mt Eden Gaol in the 1930s and immediately knew she had to write his ‘queer true terrible story’. The result was greeted by John A. Lee, war veteran, author and politician, as ‘the most important New Zealand war book yet published’. Born in Southland and finding himself in early trouble with the law, the young Starkie tricked his way into a draft in 1914 by means of a subterfuge involving whisky and tea. In his subsequent chequered career in Egypt, Gallipoli, Armentières, the Somme, Ypres, he showed himself ‘a soldier and not a soldier’, with a ‘contempt of danger and discipline alike’. Hyde took the raw horrors, respites and reversals of Starkie’s experiences and composed a work of literature much greater than a mere documentary of war. She portrays a man carousing in the brothels of Cairo and the estaminets of Flanders; looting a dead man’s money-belt and filching beer from the Tommies; attempting to shoot a sergeant through a lavatory door in a haze of absinthe, yet carrying his wounded captain back across No Man’s Land; a man recommended for the V.C. and honoured for his bravery – but also subject to nine court martials. It is a portrait of a singular individual – ‘something of a visionary’, in Hyde’s words – who has also been described as the quintessential New Zealand soldier. And against the contradictory elements of Starkie’s character, Hyde shows a war machine that preaches ‘Thalt shall do no murder’ one moment and sends men over the top the following day to kill. Robin Hyde was one of New Zealand’s true literary trailblazers, and in this book she redefined the parameters of novel and memoir. In its psychological acuity and emotional depth, Passport to Hell is one of the finest
