Adventure and romance together in high-speed pursuit of Happily Ever Afters throughout the universe. If you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong galaxies, find your alien mate with the Intergalactic Dating Agency! Mach One ~ Delta V ~ Big Bang ~ Theta On the outskirts of the Big Sky Intergalactic Dating Agency, the Cyborg Cowboys of Carbon County are rounding up earthly pleasures for their forever mates… Mach One Oversized Montana rancher Mach Halley’s very big Stetson and giant belt buckle are hiding a secret of cosmic proportions: He’s a CWBOI (Custom War Bionic/Organic Imperson). When his warship of cyborg warriors crashed on Earth 150 years ago, he kept the survivors alive and hidden. But with a dormant member of his unit about to be born, he needs a healer—even if the pretty little lady doc must forget everything she sees. Making a name for herself in rural veterinary medicine has been tough for Doctor Chien Lun-mei, so she takes a strange midnight call to prove her worth—only to discover a secret wilder than any bucking bronc. If she rants about UFOs and ETs, she’ll be laughed out of the county, but this strong, silent cowboy who feels even more out of place than she does touches her in more ways than one. Together they’ll fight to save an alien life, but for Mach to escape a war he never wanted, he’ll have to risk an alien love. Delta V Deltas were always the most expendable among the CWBOIs, and Delta V was fifth of nothing. But since the crash that left his troop marooned on Earth, Delta has found some small pleasures—soft dogs, sweet donuts, seducing the neighboring rancher. Wait, what? For the first time in her fifty years, Big Sky Country is feeling small and lonely to Montana rancher Lindy Minervudottir. With the five-year anniversary of her wife’s death looming, she’s not sure if the future matters. But then a futuristic fighter flies into her life. Earth is a small, blue marble in the vastness of space, and two needy hearts are smaller yet. But with an old enemy closing in, the world itself hangs in the balance. Big Bang It’s Christmas in Carbon County, and not a creature is stirring, not even a cyborg… In the matrix of genetically and cybernetically enhanced contract killers, he was the Omega—brought out only the last resort, the final answer, the end times. Cosmo is a time bomb forever set to 00:00:00:01. Vic Ray thought she was so smart. As a reformed black-hat hacker, she cracked every code—except the one that explains people. And then she found out about aliens. At least she doesn’t have to be nice to a killer robot like Cosmo to get what she wants: Off this world. When an old enemy and a new one join forces to expose the CWBOIs on Earth, Cosmo and Vic will have to figure out what it means to love before everything they know is lost forever. Can the Spirit of Christmas teach a deadly cyborg and a misanthrope to believe in a future together? Theta The Theta shroud designation was always meant to be an outsider—a spy and saboteur lurking on the fringes of the elite cyborg soldiers. So Troy Lehigh stayed apart from his brothers while they lived and loved. A Theta could never hope for such a bond. His only desire is to destroy the consortium that doomed him to solitude. But then, a hundred and fifty years ago, he met a sassy soiled dove in a Montana saloon… Nell Dearly had wandered too far from home and was struggling to survive. But the long-lost farm girl has no idea just how far out she’ll go. The cyborg cowboys of Carbon County have fought for each other, for love, and for Earth itself. But the consortium they escaped never stopped seeking them. Now every star they see from Big Sky Country is in danger, and only a lonely Theta and the saloon girl he kissed once upon a time might save us.

Download or read book Rooted written by David R. Pichaske and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Pichaske has been writing and teaching about midwestern literature for three decades. In Rooted, by paying close attention to text, landscape, and biography, he examines the relationship between place and art. His focus is on seven midwestern authors who came of age toward the close of the twentieth century, their lives and their work grounded in distinct places: Dave Etter in small-town upstate Illinois; Norbert Blei in Door County, Wisconsin; William Kloefkorn in southern Kansas and Nebraska; Bill Holm in Minneota, Minnesota; Linda Hasselstrom in Hermosa, South Dakota; Jim Heynen in Sioux County, Iowa; and Jim Harrison in upper Michigan. The writers' intimate knowledge of place is reflected in their use of details of geography, language, environment, and behavior. Yet each writer reaches toward other geographies and into other dimensions of art or thought: jazz music and formalism in the case of Etter; gender issues in the case of Hasselstrom; time past and present in the case of Kloefkorn; ethnicity and the role of the artist in the case of Blei; magical realism in the case of Heynen; the landscape of literature in the case of Holm; and the curious worlds of academia, best-selling novels, and Hollywood films in the case of Harrison. The result, Pichaske notes, is the growing away from roots, the explorations and alter egos of these writers of place, and the tension between the “here” and “there” that gives each writer's art the complexity it needs to transcend provincial boundaries. Quoting generously from the writers, Pichaske employs a practical, jargon-free literary analysis fixed in the text, making Rooted interesting, readable, and especially useful in treating the literary categories of memoir and literary essay that have become important in recent decades.

Download or read book Media Mediated Relationships written by Frank Hoffmann and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating a nexus between techno-science and more fundamental disciplines, a phenomenon is emerging in our personal lives: we are beginning to preempt traditional sources for relationship formation; we are becoming more insular and more cautious in starting relationships. The media play an enormous role in our activities, encouraging us to self-advertise in newspapers and magazines, to participate vicariously through pornographic and borderline books, talk radio, and tabloid television, to use our telephones and computers for the ultimate in “safe sex,” to engage in video dating, and to explore many other aspects in the field of technoeroticism. As straight and gay people alike live in a time of reluctant commitments, a period of playtime, and the Age of AIDS, the time has come to chronicle the role of mass communication in our search for interpersonal connections. Media-Mediated Relationships investigates the historical, economic, psychological, and sociocultural ramifications of the print and broadcast media, motion pictures, music, and new communications technologies (computers, video, interactive media, virtual reality, phone sex) in terms of both our individual and societal concerns. An extension of “cultivation analysis” by means of systems theory, it reports on a baseline survey of over 200 people regarding relationship mediation--demonstrating yet one more example of the symbiosis among and between various media sources. A descriptive case study, Media-Mediated Relationships provides a barometer for better understanding the many “singles” and others searching for meaning and relationships in the sociocultural milieu of the 1990s and beyond.
