Book excerpt: Joe Wilder is focused on turning a successful bodybuilding career into a billion-dollar international health and fitness conglomerate. He thinks he’s safely left behind his dangerous past as a CIA field agent—except for nightmares about gunfire, screams, and holding the lifeless body of a boy he cannot save. Facing massive price increases that could bankrupt his company, Joe travels to China for a confrontation with the ministry of trade. To his surprise, the deputy minister offers a deal in exchange for Joe helping her twelve-year-old son, Charley, travel to America. But when the minister is murdered within hours of signing the new contracts, Joe becomes both a suspect and the guardian of a boy with a secret. Relying on skills from his former life to stay alive, Joe has just four days to get Charley to safety before the most powerful criminal gang in China tracks them down. Hunted by every drug dealer, thug, and petty criminal who owes allegiance to the gang, can Joe and Charley survive long enough to see America? The Secret Empress is the gripping tale of an American entrepreneur’s dangerous quest to fulfill the last wish of a Chinese official before she is brutally murdered.

Book excerpt: Where Theodora went, trouble followed…. In sixth-century Constantinople, one woman, Theodora, defied every convention and all the odds and rose from common theater tart to empress of a great kingdom, the most powerful woman the Roman Empire would ever know. The woman whose image was later immortalized in glittering mosaic was a scrappy, clever, conniving, flesh-and-blood woman full of sensuality and spirit whose real story is as surprising as any ever told…. After her father dies suddenly, Theodora and her sisters face starvation and a life on the streets. Determined to survive, Theodora makes a living any way she can—first on her back with every man who will have her, then on the stage in a scandalous dramatization of her own invention. When her daring performance grants her a backdoor entry into the halls of power, she seizes the chance to win a wealthy protector—only to face heartbreak and betrayal. Ever resilient, Theodora rises above such trials and, by a twist of fate, meets her most passionate admirer yet: the emperor’s nephew. She thrives as his confidant and courtesan, but many challenges lie ahead. For one day this man will hand her a crown. And all the empire will wonder—is she bold enough, shrewd enough, and strong enough to keep it? READERS GUIDE INCLUDED

Book excerpt: The Empress's Secret is a sixteen-point scientific program based on traditional Chinese medicine that calls on the body's own natural healing resources to completely rejuvenate the facial appearance. This method of light fingertip massage of certain points on the face and body results in an increase of circulation of blood and energy, or chi, to the face. This not only makes you feel better-more relaxed-it allows the lines of the face to soften while it tones the skin and supports the muscles of the face, so that you actually look younger and more vibrant. It is, in effect, an energetic facelift, right in your own fingertips.By following this ten-to-fifteen-minute regime daily for thirty days, you will most definitely see significant improvements, based on your age. At first these changes will be small and incremental. Within one month of starting this regime, with daily practice, you will notice considerable improvement in the tone of your face and the texture of the skin. The overall effect will be one of great rejuvenation. Over time, these youthening effects will continue, as this program derives its greatest benefits from its ongoing practice.
Download or read book Empress Eug nie written by Joyce Cartlidge and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Empress Eugénie was one of the most glamorous, celebrated and ultimately tragic figures of the nineteenth century. Wife of Napoleon III and close friend of Queen Victoria, she suffered the loss of her beloved sister, her only son, and her adopted country. But did Eugénie take her greatest secret-an illegitimate child, conceived when she was a teenager in Spain and fathered by the only man she ever truly loved-to the grave with her? And if so, what became of the child? After half a lifetime's research Joyce Cartlidge has pieced together evidence from historic records and clues in correspondence from Eugénie and her family and friends, some of it never printed before, to tell a compelling story of love and motherhood that ties the Spanish house of Montijo and the French throne to a small family in Victorian Lancashire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of an Empress Two questions have often been asked me by people who have known part only of my life-story; and it seems to me that before I begin to tell the whole of that story I should do well to answer them. The first question is, Why did the Empress Elisabeth wish to bring me up as she did, away from the Court? The second is, Why does the Emperor Francis-Joseph refuse me recognition? Why, then, did the Empress bring me up as she did? It is, I suppose, fairly well known that the Court of Vienna is still under the rule of a code of etiquette which dates from the sixteenth century. But I doubt whether more than a very few outside the Court itself realise how crushing the code is. I shall have occasion later to refer to it in some detail, and shall here speak only of that portion of it which concerns the Empress's position. In Austria the sovereign's wife is a person standing entirely by herself. The Emperor himself is above her, and she is not permitted to go to see him as she wishes. There are always the ceremonies of asking permission before a meeting, and of announcing the approach. All the rest of the Court is below the Empress, and not one of her relatives even may see her without obtaining leave some time beforehand, through the Grand Mistress or her deputy. This may not be considered a great hardship so far as ordinary relatives are concerned, nor indeed anything out of the way in a high rank of society. But, in so far as the rule applies to the intercourse of mother and child, it becomes tragic in its cruelty. Mere archdukes and archduchesses may associate freely with their children, who are of the same status as themselves. The Emperor and Empress, on the other hand, are hedged round with restrictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, war ravaged the lands of Estrana, until an agreement was set. A tentative peace is now on the verge of collapse from centuries-old prejudices. Verena never sought to conquer, nor rule, but betrayal forced her hand. To protect the forsaken, she must attend the quarter century meeting. And assume her place at the demon High Lord's table, just as her parents before. The blood in Verena's veins determined her path, but other's secrets will decide her fate. A lineage she has always denounced now weighs heavy upon her shoulders. The power of an Empress was never a weapon she wanted to wield, but for her people, she will take what is hers, by battle and blood. High Lady she was born, but an Empress she was destined to become.
Download or read book The Empress Is a Man written by Michael R Gorman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may be familiar with the tremendous life achievements of José Sarria, an integral player in the gay rights movement, but never before have you heard the intimate details of his incredible life as they are portrayed here. In The Empress Is a Man: Stories from the Life of José Sarria (winner of the Lammy Award in the transgender category), Michael Gorman exposes Sarria’s life in a frank manner and with a unique storytelling ability that simultaneously causes amusement and sadness. Sarria’s amazing life story tells of his perserverance to advance the cause of equality for gay citizens. At a time when gays were arrested, institutionalized, and castrated, Sarria did not try to hide his beliefs and convictions. Sarria was ahead of his time, becoming a significant figure in gay history and culture. You’ll find The Empress Is a Man fascinating as you read about the life of this truly courageous, outrageous, and remarkable man. Some of Sarria’s experiences and achievements you’ll read about include: being the first openly gay male to run for political office being one of America’s most important female impersonators entertaining throughout the world, live and on film postitively affecting the gay community founding an extremely successful charity fundraising organization being featured in a PBS documentary serving in the Army in The Battle of the Bulge in WWII Until recently, gay and lesbian stories were published in very limited venues and often at great personal risk, forcing knowledge of this history to be passed down orally. The Empress Is a Man reflects this tradition by telling much of the story in Sarria’s own words. Adding to the enjoyment and originality of this book is a structure similar to the dramatic style of a play or novel. Each section ends with an exciting climax, although the book is chronological in order. The Empress Is a Man is an untraditional book about an untraditional man.
