Book excerpt: Most empty nesters travel more, take up hobbies, and garden. Some even buy a fancy new convertible to feel young and free again. I'm not like most empty nesters. I'm a witch with a bakery, duties on the Supernatural Council of the Pacific Northwest, and a new dilemma at my doorstep. Or rather, my mailbox. Someone has laid a magical trap for me. My guess is the witch elders taking revenge for all the destroyed grimoires. The trouble with that theory is that someone is slaying entire covens. There are signs pointing to an ancient enemy. One we thought we'd rid ourselves of ages ago. While I'm off cooperating with the International Supernatural Enforcement Agency on the investigation, Gabriel goes missing. His pack can't feel him. We fear he may be dead. Clues point to the same enemy that is killing witches, but the rest of the pack were unscathed. He has made enemies in Heaven. I fear if he isn't dead, he will be soon. If matters couldn't be any worse, Maeve and Nix are out to hinder me. Dark times have fallen upon Seattle's Eastside. I'm no longer a lone hedge witch, but my friends and I are up against foes on multiple fronts. Will we be strong enough to find Gabriel and protect the supes in our community from the incoming storm?

Laurel Bay is the third of five witchy sisters living a sweet life on Star Island; she runs a tarot reading business, depends on her sisters to pay her bills, and spends her free time jumping into the Hedge World, a realm few witches can access. But when a great love from a past life comes to her, Laurel is blinded by her need to find him-she throws all caution to the wind and ends up stalked by a vengeful witch she can't remember. Owen Davies is stuck. His powers as a son of a witch are minimal, he's surrounded by morally gray water witches, and he's aching to find his soulmate-so much so that he has a storage unit full of furniture he's built for the mystery woman. Then a fateful vacation lands him in Laurel's garden and their paths are finally intertwined. With witches after Laurel's powers and buried secrets unearthed, circumstances begin to mirror their heartbreaking past life. But this time around, Laurel and Owen refuse to be separated-not by time, not by a witch, not by death.

Download or read book Vanishing British Columbia written by Michael Kluckner and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The old buildings and historic places of British Columbia form a kind of "roadside memory," a tangible link with stories of settlement, change, and abandonment that reflect the great themes of BC's history. Michael Kluckner began painting his personal map of the province in a watercolour sketchbook. In 1999, after he put a few of the sketches on his website, a network of correspondents emerged that eventually led him to the family letters, photo albums, and memories from a disappearing era of the province. Vanishing British Columbia is a record of these places and the stories they tell, presenting a compelling argument for stewardship of regional history in the face of urbanization and globalization.
