Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kelly Crockett longs to be renowned for her culinary skills. But achieving her dream feels all but impossible when Fate insists on sabotaging every idea for transforming her award-winning Denver coffee-and-sandwich shop into a Michelin-class restaurant. Kelly has cultivated a life’s-a-party attitude that’s helped her stand out from her triplet sisters. But dogged cheerfulness doesn’t help when a fire near her restaurant sends the opportunity for a career-building cooking show spotlight up in flames. Devastated, she returns home to vast and beautiful Paradise Ranch. While helping in her sister’s new restaurant, she conceives a bold plan for rescuing her dreams. But Fate isn’t finished throwing obstacles in her path, not the least of which is a gorgeous but troubled man who’s all wrong for her. Damien Finney believes that after three years as a firefighter, two tours in Afghanistan, and one year in PTSD therapy, he’s ready to leave hell and start the next chapter of his life. After rigorous training, he’s earned a spot on an elite smokejumper crew–but then a failed jump lands him right back on the Devil’s doorstep. After Afghanistan, Damien found healing at Paradise Ranch in a program that paired veterans with wild mustangs. With his smoke-jumping career in jeopardy, he returns to the ranch and the horses, seeking a miracle cure to save his future. The last thing he needs is a bubbly extrovert-of-a-woman invading his refuge and throwing his plans off course. Although they fight it, the heat between Kelly and Damien’s opposite personalities builds. But there’s trouble in Paradise: Kelly’s plans cause strife with her sisters. Damien’s past haunts him. And when wildfires threaten the land they both love, each must decide if the heat will forge a new future or tear them apart. Are they brave enough to see that buried beneath the dreams they hoped for is the dream they actually need—one that’s theirs together?

Book excerpt: Escape From Iran is an action/adventure/romance/historical/political novel which takes place in Iran during the 1979-1980 revolution which deposed the Shah and eventually seized American hostages working at the U.S. Embassy. Escape From Iran traces the interconnected lives of three idealists-Ara Vartan, an American musician; Kereshmae Nasraddin, an educated, westernized Iranian widow, and Mostafa, a pivotal leader in the new revolutionary government- all of them caught up in the bloody battles and inter-personal struggles between political factions which deposed the Shah, rejected western control of Iran, then turned upon each other in their struggle for control. Ara Vartan, an American-born musician of Armenian-Assyrian decent, has traveled to Iran on a Guggenheim Award to study Iranian classical and folk music to obtain a Ph.D. from Berkeley, CA. A product of student revolts in the late 60's, Ara is quickly caught up in the fever of political protest, then forced to flee from Tehran with his teacher, hiding out in the mountains of Kuristan to continue his studies while other Americans were being evacuated. The book begins when the Kurdish communists seize power in the the Zagros mountains. Ara is forced to flee, this time back toward Tehran where he hopes to convince the U.S. Embassy to send him home. On the bus, he meets a beautiful young widow who is also on her way to Tehran-to die! Kereshmae intends to join an anti-mullah party (Motjadeen-Khalq) and fight for women's rights. Thrown together by circumstances, she and Ara are captured outside the Tehran bus terminal after curfew. Kereshmae is branded as a prostitute and condemned to death. Ara insists that he is a CIA spy and demands to speak with someone high enough in authority to listen to his story, but the Mullah who interrogates him also discovers that Ara has been using drugs and condemns Ara to death. However, Ara's old friend and mentor from Berkeley, Dr. Mostafa Bazaari, who helped plot and execute the anti-Shah revolution, learns that Ara is in the Palace and intercedes on his behalf. When Ara pleads that Kereshmae be released too, Mostafa resists, finally conceding only on the condition that the two get married! Thus begins one of the strangest romances of modern times! Through their struggles the unlikely lovers are hounded by war, stripped of all beliefs and forced to face their deepest fears before they can achieve their dreams. Escape from Iran is a fast moving exotic adventure through a country in flames! It is the story of a search for peace in the rage of war, where desperate men and women must choose between their lives and their ideals.

Book excerpt: ...11:55...11:56...11:57... As the hands of every clock in the world crawled toward the Midnight that would separate a December 31 from an historic January 1, the worlds' citizens held their collective breaths. ...11:58... And rightly so. Every country, super power status to third world, had been bombarded with a multitude of unimaginable scenarios of Armageddon for over eighteen solid months. ...11:59... The end of one century and the beginning of another was being welcomed with excitement laced with a sour aftertaste of uncertainty and trepidation. ...12:00 o'clock Midnight... The next sixty seconds oozed by. But no aircraft fell from the skies. No hospital emergency room lost life-giving power. Domestic and global security systems continued to blink. Computer systems clicked over to register the New Year without hesitation. ...12:01...2000 AD... The only fireworks witnessed by those waiting and watching were not of the computer-techno variety but rather just the pure old-fashioned pyrotechnic kind. ...12:02... And as tensions eased and the implied threats of a societal Armageddon disappeared into history, the populations of the world fought back a confusing sensation—part relief and part being all dressed up with absolutely no place to go. That would change, of course. Even Lady Luck isn't insulated from simple mistakes that mushroom into insurmountable obstacles. Just ask Columbus. Or the crew of Apollo 13. Or Noah. Or... ...12:03...

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Australian Shadows Award for Best Long Fiction Nominated for the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Novella "Intelligent, compassionate and unsettling."—The New York Times “Devlin twists and breaks the typical zombie narrative without spoiling one of the cleverest conceits in recent horror. Suffice to say that the author takes a scalpel to the post-truth era.”—Esquire In the tradition of Mira Grant and Stephen Graham Jones, Malcolm Devlin’s And Then I Woke Up is a creepy, layered, literary story about false narratives and their ability to divide us.

When a disease affects how reality is perceived, it’s hard to be certain of anything... Spence is one of the “cured” living at the Ironside rehabilitation facility. Haunted by guilt, he refuses to face the changed world until a new inmate challenges him to help her find her old crew. But if he can’t tell the truth from the lies, how will he know if he has earned the redemption he dreams of? How will he know he hasn’t just made things worse?

Download or read book Revelations written by Xavier Reyes-Ayral and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1846 to the present day, the Vatican has maintained quite the same message brought forth from Heaven by different messengers across time and across vast distances and continents. This message echoes the gravest of admonitions and calls mankind to convert and find refuge through the knowledge of the truth, which today threatens the very basis of world peace... Today, in 2022, the message of La Salette, La Fraudais, Tilly, Fatima, Garabandal, Akita and Medjugorje, and their secrets take a meaning of the greatest importance, as the admonitions brought forth by the Blessed Virgin Mary warn of a cataclysmic global disaster which has now become imminent. The Church’s apprehension of frightening the masses, inspired inaction and Rome’s decision to silence – founded more on fear than on caution – led millions of faithful to the darkness of ignorance and, therefore, to a lack of necessary conversion, prayers and intercession for peace. This book proposes unveiling the light and, thus, asking humanity to respond to the call of a warm and loving mother who merely seeks the salvation of her children.

Download or read book Allegorizings written by Jan Morris and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Book Review • Editors' Choice Jan Morris delivers her final volume, brimming with reminiscences, meditations on daily life, and mini-essays on everything from maturity to whistling to Princess Diana. Not so long ago, feeling intimations of mortality, Jan Morris embarked on a wholly novel literary enterprise. What began as a series of high-minded letters to her late daughter—in the style of Lord Chesterfield addressing his son—quickly transformed itself into a potpourri of mini-essays and vibrant reminiscences, organized around experiences both majestic and mundane, from traveling the world with her lifelong partner, Elizabeth, to sneezing and kissing and simply growing old. So Allegorizings came to be, and so Morris decided that it should only be published upon her death, not because she had anything to hide but, merely, in parting. Featuring essays largely written in the early twenty-first century, Allegorizings reflects, above all, Morris’s steadfast conviction that nothing is only what it seems. In fact, she observes, everything is allegory. Indeed, in Morris’s telling, even life—the whole conundrum of existence—is one long, majestically impenetrable allegory. Taking us from the separatist hippie colony of Bolinas, California, to her home country of Wales, and introducing us to Nepalese Sherpas and elderly cruise-goers alike, Morris follows the throughline of allegory throughout her works. In one essay, she lambasts the joylessness of maturity (“Maturity! Did ever a heart thrill to the sound of it, still less the meaning?”) and in another, decries the nonsense of nationality. With characteristic verve, she offers odes to whistling and cursing, cats, and exclamation points. Morris’s travels anchor the collection, as she revisits the iconic settings of her previous works. We join her aboard the storied Orient Express, as well as tube trains passing through the purlieus of London. So too, we hike the foothills of the Himalayas—where Morris burst onto scene with her on-the-spot reportage of the first ascent of Everest—and reflect on the picaresque allure of Tournus, a dichotomized town in France where one France, bearing all the vestiges of privilege, seems to kiss another. Intimate and luminously wise, Allegorizings is as much a testament to the virtues of embracing life as it is a testament to its charming, indignant, and ever-surprising author. In her final work, Morris’s writing is as erudite as ever, conveying a generosity of spirit “flavored by well-earned crankiness” (Vox). Though newly bereft of her company, readers will be reminded what “a good, wise, and witty companion” (Alexander McCall Smith) Morris has been to so many, for so long.
