Book excerpt: Book two of Dreamwalkers I freed him from imprisonment, only to become his pawn. I, Shandria Langston, last remaining daughter of the leader of the Sunan, was charged with an impossible task. I had to rescue Kraggon Dragmor—sworn enemy of my people—from the death chamber. If I refused, our world as we know it would be destroyed. Oh, but was he happy with my sacrifice? No. Instead of being properly appreciative of this selfless act, of being grateful that I tended to him through a deathly illness, the bastard's kidnapped me. I'm "a symbol of retribution for his people." The man has no heart. I have only one advantage in captivity: I can read Kraggon's thoughts. I know that he can't afford to admit that I empathize with his people. He can't afford to admit that I am more beautiful than any woman he's ever seen, or allow me to fire his blood with every look…and he can't afford to admit that he'll do anything to save me, that I've become his heart. 137,000 words

Seth has a real job as a builder and the beach is within walking distance. Things seem to be looking up, until a storm warning is raised one sweltering afternoon. No one could have imagined anything like this. Giant walls of water crash in from the sea. Shingles and bricks are deadly missiles flying through the air.

Life goes on, but the secret I keep is that I still talk to him in my dreams. That was getting me by until Tabron showed up—or, more specifically, until the six-foot-two brute of a Viking whisked me off to another planet because his leader is dying. And the joy didn’t end there. I’m being forced to choose a mate. The Brausa are facing extinction. Tabron has no need for a mate, himself, and he’s told me as much. Multiple times. What he does have are hands and wicked lips that stir feelings I thought lost forever. Choosing him (just to play along until I can find a way home) seems to irk him and I find this surprisingly fun.

Book excerpt: The Evil That Men Do introduced readers to the lifework and the techniques of FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood. Now, in Dark Dreams, Hazelwood-- writing with bestselling author Stephen G. Michaud-- will take then deep into the minds of his prey, the world's most dangerous sexual criminals, and reveal the extent to which these individuals permeate our society. Profiler Roy Hazelwood is one of the world's leading experts on the strangest and most dangerous of all aberrant offenders-- the sexual criminal. In Dark Dreams he reveals the twisted motive and thinking that go into the most reprehensible crimes. He also catalogs the innovative and remarkably effective techniques-- investigative approaches that he helped pioneer at the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit-- that allow law enforcement agents to construct psychological profiles of the offenders who commit these crimes. Hazelwood has helped track down some of the most violent and well-known criminals in modern history; in Dark Dreams he takes readers into his world-- a sinister world inhabited by scores of dangerous offenders for every Roy Hazelwood who would put them behind bars: * A young woman disappears from the convenience store where she works. Her skeletonized remains are found in a field, near a torture device. Who committed this heinous crime? And why? * A teenager's body is found hanging in a storm sewer. His clothes are neatly folded by the entrance and a stopwatch is found in his mouth. Is he the victim of a bizarre, ritualistic murder...or an elaborate masturbatory fantasy gone awry? * A married couple, driving with their toddler in the backseat, pick up a female hitchhiker. They kidnap her and for seven years keep her as a sexual slave. The wife agreed to this inhuman arrangement in exchange for having a second child. Who was to blame? As gruesome as the crimes are and as unsettling as the odds seem, Hazelwood proves that the right amount of determination and logic can bring even the most cunning and devious criminals to justice. Dark Dreams is a 2002 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Fact Crime.

Download or read book Unwrapped written by Anne Erskine and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unwrapped By Anne Marie Erskine Words are changeable things with properties like numbers. Words and numbers take on different faces and different values depending on how they develop and what their context is. Words are continuous shapeshifters. Within the mind of a writer, words are a constant presence – hiding, peeking, teasing; seeking to be discovered, revealed, valued, and placed artfully into expression. Words are slippery entities, daring us to catch them and make them behave – be exact within contents, creating the mood, tone, and metaphor we desire. The title Unwrapped refers to the desire to reveal those qualities of words - unwrapping their essence to fit and extend, to spark and to blend in order to communicate meaningfully. Yet the title Unwrapped also refers to the collection of poems that expose the various values of what has been discovered in that unwrapping, presenting not only the unwrapping of words, but also the unwrapping of experiences. Poetry is the perfect art form for unwrapping essences of experience because poetry was created so the story of mankind could be memorized, recited, passed on - enabling us to recall the profound. Poetry is the art of remembering, connecting us intimately, reminding us we are never alone. The experience of the past is the experience of the now is the experience of the future. Nothing is separate. We are connected to all that has ever been, is now, and will be. Words are powerful, but actions are even more so. Beware those who think they can fool The People. We are poets in our very beings. We will unwrap and expose. That is the power and purpose of our art.
