Book excerpt: After centuries spent in suspended animation, I'm hangry. Now, a team of sexy men have been sent to hunt me down... *Licks lips* Let them come. Thanks to a protective spell gone wrong, I am what the world calls a 'siren'. Yep, you heard me right. I'm a siren. The lost princess of Atlantis. During the horrific battle between light and darkness, as Atlantis sank beneath the waves, I was caught in some crazy magic that changed my body and put me down for a really long nap. The humans, still greedy as ever, woke me up when they stumbled on an energy source near the heart of my home. I battled alongside my Atlantean brothers and sisters as evil spread like a plague from city to city. We fought bravely, but in the end, I lost everything. I have nothing left to lose. That same darkness has continued to take over the world while I slept. My mission is to cleanse the world of evil, so I need to get busy. It is easy to find the men with blackened hearts and drag them to their watery graves beneath the sea. But it isn't long before the disappearances are noticed, and I go from hunter to hunted. Cleansing the world of evil takes a lot out of a siren. So, when the three good-hearted men cross my path, I'm ready to make them bad. I just need to figure out how things work with my new anatomy... This paranormal reverse harem book is for 18+ readers. It contains steamy content and darker elements/themes. This is not the usual bubbly mermaid tale! It is full of sexy scenes, humor, a coffee-addicted and slightly feral siren, and totally ripped guys you will want to sink your fangs into! It will have a HEA... eventually!

Book excerpt: “Sarah Stewart Johnson interweaves her own coming-of-age story as a planetary scientist with a vivid history of the exploration of Mars in this celebration of human curiosity, passion, and perseverance.”—Alan Lightman, author of Einstein’s Dreams WINNER OF THE PHI BETA KAPPA AWARD FOR SCIENCE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Times (UK) • Library Journal “Lovely . . . Johnson’s prose swirls with lyrical wonder, as varied and multihued as the apricot deserts, butterscotch skies and blue sunsets of Mars.”—Anthony Doerr, The New York Times Book Review Mars was once similar to Earth, but today there are no rivers, no lakes, no oceans. Coated in red dust, the terrain is bewilderingly empty. And yet multiple spacecraft are circling Mars, sweeping over Terra Sabaea, Syrtis Major, the dunes of Elysium, and Mare Sirenum—on the brink, perhaps, of a staggering find, one that would inspire humankind as much as any discovery in the history of modern science. In this beautifully observed, deeply personal book, Georgetown scientist Sarah Stewart Johnson tells the story of how she and other researchers have scoured Mars for signs of life, transforming the planet from a distant point of light into a world of its own. Johnson’s fascination with Mars began as a child in Kentucky, turning over rocks with her father and looking at planets in the night sky. She now conducts fieldwork in some of Earth’s most hostile environments, such as the Dry Valleys of Antarctica and the salt flats of Western Australia, developing methods for detecting life on other worlds. Here, with poetic precision, she interlaces her own personal journey—as a female scientist and a mother—with tales of other seekers, from Percival Lowell, who was convinced that a utopian society existed on Mars, to Audouin Dollfus, who tried to carry out astronomical observations from a stratospheric balloon. In the process, she shows how the story of Mars is also a story about Earth: This other world has been our mirror, our foil, a telltale reflection of our own anxieties and yearnings. Empathetic and evocative, The Sirens of Mars offers an unlikely natural history of a place where no human has ever set foot, while providing a vivid portrait of our quest to defy our isolation in the cosmos.
Download or read book American Sirens written by Kevin Hazzard and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary story of an unjustly forgotten group of Black men in Pittsburgh who became the first paramedics in America, saving lives and changing the course of emergency medicine around the world Until the 1970s, if you suffered a medical crisis, your chances of survival were minimal. A 9-1-1 call might bring police or even the local funeral home. But that all changed with Freedom House EMS in Pittsburgh, a group of Black men who became America’s first paramedics and set the gold standard for emergency medicine around the world, only to have their story and their legacy erased—until now. In American Sirens, acclaimed journalist and paramedic Kevin Hazzard tells the dramatic story of how a group of young, undereducated Black men forged a new frontier of healthcare. He follows a rich cast of characters that includes John Moon, an orphan who found his calling as a paramedic; Peter Safar, the Nobel Prize-nominated physician who invented CPR and realized his vision for a trained ambulance service; and Nancy Caroline, the idealistic young doctor who turned a scrappy team into an international leader. At every turn, Freedom House battled racism—from the community, the police, and the government. Their job was grueling, the rules made up as they went along, their mandate nearly impossible—and yet despite the long odds and fierce opposition, they succeeded spectacularly. Never-before revealed in full, this is a rich and troubling hidden history of the Black origins of America’s paramedics, a special band of dedicated essential workers, who stand ready to serve day and night on the line between life and death for every one of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allura I didn't mean to, but because of me, the west coast sirens have added man-hunting to their list of favorite things to do. Most are following the matriarch's orders to only hunt at pre-approved siren events, but not all. Some have abandoned their clans and gone rogue. According to news reports, a group of religious men have gone missing from a nature retreat and we know the rogues are behind it. But when the kelpie twins drop by, we quickly learn it's much worse than we thought. Other mythic beings are worried the rogue sirens will out them, and have sent the kelpies with a threat: If the rogue sirens out the existence of mythical beings, the mythics will join together to remove us from the equation. Cara I'm finally doing what I think is right, instead of following clan directions. I've met a mermaid who makes my heart skip and my stomach flip. We've run away to join the water women revolution and begin our futures together in freedom. They call us rogues. And there's more of us in the revolution than anyone suspects. We stay hidden, and keep the human men we've collected tucked away. But we know we're being hunted by the sirens and the mythics, and it's only a matter of time before we're forced to fight our own kind. My sister Allura is coming for me, for all of us. Blood may be thicker than water, but when I see my sister again, there will be blood in the water. Some Kind of Pure Obsession is book two in the Siren Sisters series and is told from both Allura and Cara's points of view. The Siren Sisters series takes place in the same world as the forthcoming Wild Women series and the Obsidian Falls Coven series.
