Equinox: As if Saige Sterling doesn’t already have enough on her plate, she now has assassins gunning for her. That’s the price she has to pay for being such an awesome bounty hunter. Her fame is growing and she’s gaining new enemies along the way. An unusual mission crops up and Saige is tasked with assisting a trusted ally. She’ll have to travel away from Nexus to help solve a decades long mystery. This time, Ruen won’t be going with her. She’ll have to rely on a wizard for help. At long last, her relationship with Drake Gilden is progressing in the right direction. Yet nothing can ever be easy for them. The weredragon has been harboring a secret from his past that he’s never told anyone. Saige will finally find out why he’s been holding back, but the truth won’t be pleasant to hear. Pyrexia: As Saige has become well aware by now, making bargains can have unexpected consequences later down the track. She’ll finally need to face Belladonna again about the sketchy deal she made with her when she agreed to steal an artifact from the catacombs. Not all bargains turn out to be terrible. Saige will be rewarded well when she repays a favor Lord Gilden owes the fairy who helped his team rescue Aurora. Her reward could prove to be invaluable during her next journey to the underworld. One of Saige’s relatives shows up unexpectedly for a visit. A formidable huntress, she isn’t happy about the impending wedding between Saige’s mom and her vampire fiancé. They’ll need to convince her that not all supernatural creatures are evil, but it won’t be an easy task. Victrix: After conquering eight realms of the underworld, Saige Sterling and her team only have one dimension left to visit. The ninth realm will be filled with danger and powerful beings. When Aurora is taken by their enemies again, Saige and Ruen will need to rescue her before they can embark on their final mission. Saige’s reclusive kin have been reluctant to admit their true origins. It isn’t easy discovering they aren’t human like they’d always thought. They still have a destiny to fulfill and their task isn’t done yet. They will need to step up and do their part during this war. Now that the end is so near, Saige and Drake will need to resist their desire to complete their bond before the appointed time. All worlds hinge on timing everything perfectly, or their ultimate nemesis will gain the victory they’ve been working so hard to avoid. They will face their final foes and either Order will win, or Chaos will reign.

Download or read book Grandparents in a Digital Age written by Laura Tropp and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the changing culture of grandparenting. Depending on the group, the period, and the family, grandparents have been powerful patriarchs and matriarchs, reliable second parents, dependents, burdens, or community figures. The book examines the history of grandparenting and the changing depiction of grandparent culture from “old” to “hip,” including the development of the celebrity grandparent, the emergence of media technologies that allow for new communication and relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren, new rituals associated with grandparenting, the growth of the marketing of grandparenting as a new stage of life, and the impact on our culture of the commodification of grandparenting. Prior to the twentieth century, within the United States the idea of the modern grandparent likely did not even exist. Many people did not live long enough to reach the grandparent stage of life. Today, people are living longer, and grandparenting is occupying a longer phase in one’s life. Grandparenting is becoming its own life stage, where new rituals exclusive to grandparents are emerging. Newer technologies, such as Skype, Google Hangout and FaceTime, allow grandparents who are far away to establish relationships with their children. Many grandparents also use social media and blogs to chronicle their experiences. Some grandparents have turned their grandparent lifestyle into a business. The representation of grandparenting in popular culture is shifting as well. Grandparents are becoming their own figures on television and film programs, including reality shows. Others have been thrust into the public eye across social media. Marketers have realized the power of this new consumer subgroup and have begun to direct marketing campaigns to grandparents. Yet, despite the pervasive images of grandparents, some of which present empowered figures, grandparent representation in popular media continues to mimic many of the stereotypes commonly associated with aging, encouraging people to laugh at versus laugh with these figures. The Third Act: Grandparenting in a Digital Age examines grandparenting through history, interviews, and popular culture to study the changing image of grandparents in society.

Download or read book Saige Sterling Badass Bounty Hunter Bundle 1 Books 1 3 written by J.C. Diem and published by Seize The Night Publishing Agency. This book was released on with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bundle contains books one to three of the Saige Sterling: Badass Bounty Hunter series. Nexus: Saige Sterling is a curvy, confident hunter who has been training to kill monsters for a decade. She intends to become the premier bounty hunter in Nexus. First, she needs to make a name for herself so she will come to the attention of the boss of the hunters. All manner of creatures have come through gates from the underworld over the millennia. The supernatural creatures are forever stepping over the line and killing innocent humans. She won’t have a shortage of rogues to hunt down. During her quest to gain a job doing what she loves best, Saige witnesses a vampire murdering a human. She follows her target to a nightclub for supernatural beings where he thinks he’ll be safe. The brand-new bounty hunter won’t let anyone stop her from fulfilling her destiny. Not even a mob of angry monsters can slow her down for long. Unfortunately, Saige’s plans go awry and her target isn’t who he seems to be. His boss is a sexy weredragon who won’t be pleased if she turns his minion to ash. The dragon offers her a deal, but first she needs to prove herself to him. Accepting his bargain will be the first step in achieving her dreams, but it will throw her life into turmoil that she couldn’t possibly foresee. Conflux: Saige Sterling has been working as a bounty hunter for her weredragon boss for six months now. Drake Gilden is a sexy enigma that she isn’t sure she’ll ever be able to figure out. They have undeniable chemistry, but she’s so far beneath him in the supernatural hierarchy that she knows he’s out of her league. When Saige and Ruen, her reluctant vampire partner, came back from the first realm of the underworld, they didn’t return alone. Saige now has a new roommate. Aurora is still learning about the new dimension she’s been drawn to. Her powers have the habit of leaking out onto Saige. It’s something she’s going to have to learn how to control, before it drives the bounty hunter crazy. Stealing one of the mysterious scroll fragments from the rulers of the underworld should have been enough to stop the coming apocalypse. Lord Gilden is determined to have them all in his grasp. He sends the unlikely trio to the second realm in search of the next piece of the enchantment. With Saige’s mixed genes, she has no idea if she’ll be the same type of monster that she was in the first realm, or if she’ll turn into something completely different. Vortex: Saige is still adjusting to having a sex demon for a roommate, but it’s getting easier now that Aurora has her own bed to sleep in. She wished her strange relationship with Drake Gilden would run as smoothly. Unfortunately, it just keeps getting more complicated. For the first time, all of Lord Gilden’s bounty hunters will be called on to work together on a job. Saige will finally get to see why he hired the two puny humans who are on their team. She will also get a chance to shine and show them exactly why the weredragon hired her. Saige’s fame as a bounty hunter is growing with each new mission she accomplishes. Few in the supernatural community in Nexus are aware that she has a secret task in the underworld. So far, the huntress, her vampire sidekick and best friend have retrieved two fragments of a magical scroll. The monsters and beasts are becoming more dangerous with each realm they visit. So are the guardians who are guarding the spells.

Book excerpt: The only thing better than naptime is naptime with a friend. Theo the puppy (part-Boxer, part-Shepherd, part-Labrador, part-Sharpei) was rescued by Beau, a twenty-three-month-old toddler, and his family from an animal shelter in Santa Cruz. The two of them instantly became best friends. And every day at naptime, Theo waits for Beau to fall asleep, then curls up next to him. Theo and Beau were already a viral sensation thanks to the "unbearably adorable," "utterly charming" photos that author (Beau's mother) Jessica Shyba has been posting on her popular blogMomma's Gone City. And now, she's matched the very sweetest of them to a charming bedtime text to make a board book that is (as Alyssa Milano said of the blog) "so cute it hurts."

Download or read book Diary of a Misfit written by Casey Parks and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir, part sweeping journalistic saga: As Casey Parks follows the mystery of a stranger's past, she is forced to reckon with her own sexuality, her fraught Southern identity, her tortured yet loving relationship with her mother, and the complicated role of faith in her life. "Most moving is Parks’s depiction of a queer lineage, her assertion of an ancestry of outcasts, a tapestry of fellow misfits into which the marginalized will always, for better or worse, fit." —The New York Times Book Review When Casey Parks came out as a lesbian in college back in 2002, she assumed her life in the South was over. Her mother shunned her, and her pastor asked God to kill her. But then Parks's grandmother, a stern conservative who grew up picking cotton, pulled her aside and revealed a startling secret. "I grew up across the street from a woman who lived as a man," and then implored Casey to find out what happened to him. Diary of a Misfit is the story of Parks's life-changing journey to unravel the mystery of Roy Hudgins, the small-town country singer from grandmother’s youth, all the while confronting ghosts of her own. For ten years, Parks traveled back to rural Louisiana and knocked on strangers’ doors, dug through nursing home records, and doggedly searched for Roy’s own diaries, trying to uncover what Roy was like as a person—what he felt; what he thought; and how he grappled with his sense of otherness. With an enormous heart and an unstinting sense of vulnerability, Parks writes about finding oneself through someone else’s story, and about forging connections across the gulfs that divide us.
