Jan Morris is one of the great British writers of the post-war era. Soldier, journalist, writer about places (rather than 'travel writer'), elegist of the British Empire, novelist, she has fashioned a distinctive prose style that is elegant, fastidious, supple, and sometimes gloriously gaudy. For many readers she is best known for her candid memoir Conundrum, which described the gender reassignment operation she underwent in 1972. But as Ariel demonstrates, this is just one of the many remarkable facts about her life. As James Morris she was the journalist who brought back the story of the conquest of Everest in 1953 and who discovered incontrovertible evidence of British involvement in the Suez Crisis of 1956. She has been described by Rebecca West as the finest prose stylist of her time, and her essays span the entire urban world. Her many books include a classic on Venice, a 1,600 page history of the British Empire, and a homage to what is perhaps her favourite... Views: 25

HERO OR VILLAIN? YOU DECIDE.When she decided to become a vigilante, no one told Aria Fae about the possibility of public backlash, or the attention the media would garner by dubbing her The Masked Maiden of Grant City. Being half human and half fae is hard enough without being despised and most-wanted by the city she’s trying to save. On top of this added heat, a rogue supernatural known as The Scarecrow has escaped his prison, and his history with Aria makes her the crazed warlock’s obvious target. Now, she must face her past and defeat The Scarecrow once and for all, or die trying. When things reach their worst, will The Masked Maiden be the hero Grant City needs, or the villain they’ve made her out to be? From the bestselling author of The Alexa Montgomery Saga comes the sequel to an exciting new superhero urban fantasy series that will be epic in proportion. Praise for The Aria Fae Series:*“This is top-notch story telling! Gordon takes old themes and turns them into new adventures!” “The Masked Maiden is adult urban fantasy at its best. There is suspense, intrigue, action, mystery and even a love triangle. I’m heading on to book 3 now.” “The Aria Fae Series just gets better and better. Aria is a strong female protagonist who knows how to fight monsters and take out villains. Five BIG stars!” “One of the best paranormal/urban fantasy series I’ve read! Gordon knows how to create strong female leads and exciting magical worlds!”* A fair warning: Though the characters in The Aria Fae Series are all young adults, they deal with some disturbing themes, sexual situations, and strong language that may be uncomfortable for some readers. For younger readers, parent discretion is advised.** Views: 25

The nursery rhyme was wrong. Words can hurt you.
Ambitious, twenty-something FBI Special Agent Jade Harrington cuts her vacation short to investigate the murder of a conservative radio personality only to discover that he may be the victim of a serial killer. Whitney Fairchild, the elegant and charismatic Democratic senator from Missouri, campaigns in a cutthroat race for president of the United States. Cole Brennan, the most popular conservative talk-show host in the nation, battles nightly to save his country and help the incumbent Republican president maintain his ‘inner conservative’ to win re-election.

That course will not just impact them each in ways they could never have foreseen, but also the future of the United States of America. Amidst a backdrop of contemporary power politics driven by the influence of talk radio and social media, Don't Speak thrills even as it explores many of the complex issues facing Americans today.

A superb storyteller who keeps his readers in thrall'—StatesmanIt is said that if the smell of the Himalayas creeps into a man's blood, he will return to the hills again and again. Master storyteller Ruskin Bond shows how this love may persist to death and beyond. The agents of the supernatural may be gentle like the fairy folk in 'On Fairy Hill', or malevolent like the well-dressed diners of 'The Prize'; humorous like the very proper witch, Miss Bellows, in 'The Black Cat', or tragic like the haunting Gulabi in 'Wilson's Bridge'. Bond aficionados will meet familiar faces in other stories and be thrilled by the gripping mystery, 'Who Killed the Rani?' This exciting collection, animated by the brooding presence of the Himalayas, establishes Bond as a connoisseur of the mysterious and macabre. Views: 25
