Book excerpt: Game designer Emily Bartwell is in hiding. Fleeing online trolls that ruined her career, marriage, and life—pretty much in that exact order—she’s made a new life on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Yes, it’s lonely, but she has her online community for company. And she has her work: Labyrinth, a wildly popular role-playing game, one she’s created under the male alias, Phoenix. When sexy writer, Fox Mullins, rents the beach house next door, however, he entices Emily out of her isolation. Flirting, teasing, igniting desires she’d forgotten she had, Fox tempts Emily into playing games of a very different sort—ones where he makes the rules. Fox is delighted by his luck in discovering his gorgeous, single neighbor’s simmeringly passionate nature under her oh-so-private exterior. Playing with her, pushing the lovely Emily’s boundaries, gives him relief from the painstaking, frustrating task of tracking the brilliant gamer, Phoenix—and discovering his elusive prey’s true identity. Exposing Phoenix will be the biggest scoop of his career as an undercover tech reporter. As Fox and Emily push the limits of intimacy, they discover that their fling is leading to something much deeper. They’re both keeping secrets that could devastate the other, but which of them will win the game in the end?

Book excerpt: “Lauren Dane always delivers a steamy, exciting ride” (New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione), and she does it again in her new novel of two lovers fighting for their lives against a rising threat, and a passion that’s just as dangerous… In the wake of the Magister’s rampage, chaos rules. Left reeling, the Others and the humans scramble to create some sort of unity in the face of growing unrest and violence from anti-Other hate groups—and PR guru Molly Ryan is the witch who can do it. She grew up in the human world but there’s nothing left for her there. She’s lost her PR firm and her friends, and now she’s decided to put all her fight toward aiding the Others in this dark new reality. Gage Garrity, one of the few Others who survived the massacre, fears that the crusade will expose Molly to greater dangers than ever before. Now, together, with magick on their side, Molly and Gage are on the road in a desperate struggle to unite a torn world. From state houses to television news to legislative conference rooms across the country, they’re fighting the good fight. And it’s bringing out a passion in both of them they never expected—one as volatile, intense and all-consuming as their relentless battle for world unity. A battle that could be their undoing…
Download or read book Going Under written by Virgil Suàrez and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HeÍs fast. HeÍs nervous. HeÍs outrunning family and friends. Xavier Cuevas is on the treadmill in blind pursuit of the American Dream. Going nowhere. Going under. He canÍt please anyonenot his Cuban parents nor his Anglo ex-wifeand least of all himself. Wedged between two cultures, two sets of ethics and expectations, Xavier is having trouble keeping step with the frenetic bi-cultural mambo he is caught up in. Virgil SuàrezÍs fourth novel, Going Under, spins the compelling tale of a broken family, shattered dreams, a fragmented existence and a Cuban yuppie who has little else to show for all his efforts. Xavier is as lost in the past as his parents are. HeÍs as disoriented in the present as most of mainstream America is. He certainly has no time to think about the future. Going Under is a clever and disturbing parable of these disquieting times when standing still means losing ground and ultimately ñgoing underîeconomically, physically, culturally. With this brilliant fast-paced novel, Suàrez attains a higher ground for the Cuban-American novel. SuàrezÍs sparse, elegant prose lures us with a cool and witty portrayal of Xavier and MiamiÍs Cuban personality. As his cinematic style beckons, the reader canÍt help but cruise along those hot Miami boulevards and observe the human tragic comedy as it unfolds in pastel colored flashes. Going Under is a riveting ride that shouldnÍt be missed.

Download or read book Going Under written by Justina Robson and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lila Black is off with the faeries . . . Ever since the Quantum Bomb of 2015 things have been different; the dimensions have fused and suddenly our world is accessible to elves, demons, ghosts and elementals—and their worlds are open to us. Things have been different for Special Agent Lila Black too: tortured and magic-scarred by elves, rebuilt by humans into a half-robot, part-AI, nuclear-fueled walking arsenal, and carrying the essence of a dead elfin necromancer in her chest, sometimes she has trouble figuring out who she is. And a mission to the world of the fae may not help her work it out. The fae are beautiful, glamorous, exotic, and talented. Their inventions make food taste better, make beer divine, and bring sparkle and mischief to the world–but that’s only the surface. And Lila is being sent in at the deep end, to the deepest, darkest levels of Faerie: on the primal level, nothing about the fae is glamorous at all. In a winter-locked, raw, and primitive world, Lila has to deal with the fae at their most basic levels, as tricksters and dealmakers–and the only deals worth making are bloody ones. If Lila’s quest is to succeed, and if she is ever to escape Faerie, the right question must be asked, the right sacrifice must be made, and the right quarry must be hunted down on the winter solstice. All of which is difficult, when the only aides Lila brought to Faerie are her friends . . . Justina Robson’s new series combines her trademark themes of identity and reality, magic and technology, break-neck plots, a mischievous sense of fun, and a seriously sexy new heroine.

Download or read book Going Under written by Seana Smith and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the outside, Seana Smith lived an enviable life. An Oxford graduate, a successful career with the BBC and Sydney’s Channel 9, a bestselling author, happily married. But behind this perfect life she had a secret: Seana was a drinker, and alcohol was slowly taking away her life, destroying her health, her emotional well-being, her world. With engaging style and wit, Going Under reveals the true story behind Seana’s lifelong battle with drink. It lays bare a confusing childhood of Scottish sailing adventures and also brutal violence from her bullying, alcoholic father; where punches were thrown, broken bones hidden and her family lived in fear. Learning from the best, Seana drank her way through tutorials at Oxford University (which were held in the pub), through the sexual misadventures of her twenties and through the intensity and mundanity of motherhood. It took the death of her parents and a tree-change to Orange in regional NSW for Seana to find the courage to break free; a new life in a new world. She had finally left the past behind. Growing up with an abusive alcoholic father and finding the courage to escape. Crosses between Edinburgh, Oxford University, Sydney and Orange, NSW. Compelling combination of women’s quit lit and memoir. The intensity and loneliness of motherhood laid bare. Explores the pain of emigration and finding belonging in a new world. This is a memoir long in the making and is a powerful testament to resilience, acceptance and ultimately love. A story of recovery and sobriety for fans of The Sober Diaries, Beyond Booze and A Thousand Wasted Sundays. LARGE SCALE PR CAMPAIGN BY PITCH PROJECTS "Going Under is funny, insightful and inspiring. This is like hanging out with a really brilliant friend who, you know, will make you a better person. Seana Smith is the real deal - a truth-teller and a writer of immense integrity." Kathryn Heyman Author of Fury "With a tender touch, Smith contemplates the two truths of her childhood: the wild island adventures and the brutal eruptions behind closed doors. Standing on the precipice of her own alcoholism, she realizes that reckoning with the past is the only way to shape the future." Jenny Valentish Author of Woman of Substances "With sparkling, musical prose and unflinching generosity of spirit, Seana Smith lays bare the facts of a life stalked by alcohol. A life that ricochets ‘between privilege and terror, between adventure and fear. So much more than a book about the booze, Going Under is an intricate, often beautiful mosaic of family, the individuals caught inside its sharp-edged cracks, and the self-yearning to make sense of all it all. The story of a woman emerging from the brokenness of the past and the never-ending pressures of the present to reclaim joy. Honest. Tender. Laugh-cry funny. Walking with Seana through her year of Going Under is to make a new and wise friend." Kim Kelly, author of Ladies’ Rest and Writing Room
Download or read book Going Under written by John Madinger and published by WildBlue Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former law enforcement agent details his adventures during his career working undercover in this memoir. “I just want to make sure I’ve got this right. You hanged all three of them? . . .” That’s how it began, a case where the cops are crooks and the crooks are cops, a kidnapping where the victim is the bad guy, and the good guys must cross some lines to get him back. Welcome to the upside down and backward world of the undercover agent, where nothing is as it seems, and people—including the undercover—may not be what they appear. Going Under: Kidnapping, Murder, and A Life Undercover by former undercover agent John Madinger takes you into that world, and closer to the truth of the undercover experience than any other law enforcement memoir has ever gone. “What is it like to work undercover?” You’re a sheepdog in wolf’s clothing, running with the pack, and Madinger ran with the wolves for almost two decades. Now he shares his story to give you a unique look at American crime and the “War on Drugs” from the perspective of both cops and criminals. You’ll go with the undercover cops to meetings with street-corner hustlers and rip-off artists and into the lives of America’s biggest rock stars, the world’s richest man, an Academy Award–winning actor, the marijuana traffickers conspiring to assassinate a federal judge, and the President of the United States. It’s an amazing ride, and there has never been another story like it.

She's everything she was when we said goodbye. Beautiful, stubborn, sweet...and off-limits. After two years leading separate lives, our worlds have collided. Now that she's back home working and taking classes beside me, she's bound to make me lose my mind. She's all I've ever wanted, all I've ever dreamed of, and the one thing I can never have. Not because she's my best friend's sister. Not because all four DeLuca brothers would come at me with fists swinging if I hurt her. Not even because she's way better than I will ever deserve. I keep my distance because we didn't meet for the first time today. We met five years ago when I was a different person. When my demons ruled me. Even though I've changed--even though I've gotten my life together and become a better man—I can't change the past. And the secrets that haunt me would destroy her. But I'm not the only one with secrets, and when the truth comes out, I don't know where to turn. What do you do when your world washes away beneath your feet and you feel like you're drowning? What do you do when the woman you promised yourself you'd never touch is the only thing that can keep you from going under?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have we been someone before? Is there a cycle to life that passes personality and society's characteristics through the generations, much like our physical characteristics are passed by various chemical configurations? What about many major religions that base their belief on reincarnation or past lives, and often times their leadership on someone's presupposed link to the past? What about all those individuals claiming to have been someone before? What is the possibility that you have been someone before, and if so who? How does one find out about one's own possibilities and one's impact on today's existence? Many feel that meditation is the way to enter this world of deep inner knowledge and to bring awareness of this past cycle. Hypnosis has also been used to offer an abundance of examples to illustrate the possibility of our having been here before. To get past our immediate existence and regress through our birth to a world of spirits from the past is indeed an adventure, if such a world even exists. Please join me now for a journey into an unseen world.
