Book excerpt: In this sexy, gripping novel, Cynthia Eden draws readers deeper into the realm of the Other—vampires, shifters, and sinfully attractive demons whose powers are matched only by their dark hungers... Tall, dark, and formidable, Niol Lapen is the last demon on earth most people would ask for a favor, yet the sexy little reporter who wanders into his club dares to do exactly that. Holly Storm already knows too much about his kind, and Niol has no wish to help her get in deeper over her head. But working alongside her may be the only way to stop a killer, even as it ignites a primal desire unlike anything he’s known. Holly has seen firsthand what Niol is capable of, but that doesn’t frighten her nearly as much as her body’s instinctive reaction to him, or the wild, fierce passion that would tempt her to follow him through hell itself. Something evil and relentless is prowling the streets of Atlanta. And as Holly’s search leads her into danger that even Niol could never have predicted, she’ll uncover a secret that could rip her world apart.... “Fast-paced, fun, and steamy, Midnight’s Master is a page-turning treat!”—Jeaniene Frost
Download or read book Called By The Wild written by Conraad De Rosner and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers. Conraad de Rosner is one of the first game rangers to focus on working with specially trained dogs to protect wildlife from poachers – both 'bushmeat' poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world. Con's life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa's most dangerous animals, about to charge. When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father's footsteps as the leader of the canine anti-poaching team that is still operating today. Con's story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.

Download or read book Passion in Poetry Whispers from the Soul written by Nandita 'Manan' Yata and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Nandita writes, she does so in volume, unable to contain the poetry flowing through her veins. - FT Ledrew (Poet, writer, musician, song writer, Canada) From start to finish, Nandita writes with verve and spirit. In her unique poetic prose, she weaves together mind, body and soul in a superlative manner. Sometimes sharp and poignant, sometimes subtle and searching, Nandita is always pleasurable to read, thought-provoking, and often inspirational. Many have already been blessed by her writings, and now many more will receive the same in her offerings here, in her first book publication. Read slowly, read carefully, and enjoy. - Jonathan Noble (American poet, essayist, cultural critic, and social service volunteer) Reading Nanditas work is a pleasure for any reader. In her repertoire, built over time and expanded through the constant flow of ink from her willing pen, is something for everyone. Not only do her poems reflect her interests, emotions and experiences, but her active and creative imagination conjures up such scenes and settings for her poetic expressions that make reading her an interactive experience. There is always a layer of meaning hidden beneath the surface of her poems, that the reader may find if they can. But even if they do not, each piece of work is complete in itself and carries with it a wealth of meaning and enjoyment. No poet is complete without empathy, and Nandita has this in spades, using it most effectively while spinning a tale from her versatile mind that surprises us with its depth, even while holding us up above the chasms. She is a shining example of perseverance in the pursuit of that which she loves most; to write poetry, doing this with a smile, a ready dose of wit, an excellent sense of humour and no small amount of talent. - Priyanka Ruth Prim (poet, literary research scholar/critic, India) Nandita isnt just a poetess. She is the embodiment of poetry. With nothing but a pen and her vivid inner life, she expresses on the page what would ordinarily be inexpressible. She has a habit of conjuring words and phrases that voice what we are all feeling or hope to feel. She commits to the process of unveiling her heart and her great love for people so that all can see and share. Find yourself in her words and be mesmerized by her ability to be your voice for the unwritten poetry in you. There are no half measures here. To read Nandita is to know her. Truly, she is - as her pen name says - Manan Unleashed! - Tony Single (cartoonist, poet, vagabond soul, Australia) Photo credits unknownuser666- Manjit Saikia unknownuser666.wordpress.com Unmarked - FT Ledrew hooklineandinkwell.wordpress.com
