Book excerpt: The road before her is twisted.She is looking for them. A doctor. A lawyer. A murderer. They are somewhere out there, in front of her, where the roads wind and wander, where routes end and new avenues begin. There is a map beside her, but she stopped following that long ago. Some journeys have no blueprint. There are turns and detours, dead ends and tricky mazes. The labyrinth called America is a tricky turnpike to travel.She knows just two things as she stares into the white blizzard that nearly obscures the winding street in front of her. There was a beginning. She started this journey in San Diego, but it really all began long before that. Others were on this quest before she joined the pilgrimage east. And there will be an end.

They head down that one-way road with reckless abandon.There are each of these types before her, somewhere along the long course: A doctor. His wife. A murderer.And Janet Dice has to follow the twisted road to find them.

Book excerpt: Set in an alternate version of early 1900s England, Copperhead is the sequel to Tina Connolly's stunning historical fantasy debut. Helen Huntingdon is beautiful—so beautiful she has to wear an iron mask. Six months ago her sister Jane uncovered a fey plot to take over the city. Too late for Helen, who opted for fey beauty in her face—and now has to cover her face with iron so she won't be taken over, her personality erased by the bodiless fey. Not that Helen would mind that some days. Stuck in a marriage with the wealthy and controlling Alistair, she lives at the edges of her life, secretly helping Jane remove the dangerous fey beauty from the wealthy society women who paid for it. But when the chancy procedure turns deadly, Jane goes missing—and is implicated in a murder. Meanwhile, Alistair's influential clique Copperhead—whose emblem is the poisonous copperhead hydra—is out to restore humans to their "rightful" place, even to the point of destroying the dwarvven who have always been allies. Helen is determined to find her missing sister, as well as continue the good fight against the fey. But when that pits her against her own husband—and when she meets an enigmatic young revolutionary—she's pushed to discover how far she'll bend society's rules to do what's right. It may be more than her beauty at stake. It may be her honor...and her heart.

Now imagine you are the Thought Thief who is so greatly feared that your freedom and your life are threatened. Welcome to Brightside…you won’t be leaving.

Protagonist Joe Nolan is one of the many Thought Thieves who have been rounded up and forced to live in Brightside, with little hope of ever leaving. Suspense builds as Joe finds himself on a mission to break free on his 100th day of captivity. "THAT’S WHY THEY’VE ROUNDED US UP, STUCK US IN THIS LITTLE TOWN. IT’S TO MAKE YOU FEEL SAFE. BUT THEY CAN’T KEEP US HERE FOREVER. IT’S DAY 100 AND IT’S ALL GONNA END. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I’M GETTING OUT OF BRIGHTSIDE." The reviews tell why Brightside should be your next read:"A well-written and well-executed story by first-time author Mark Tullius. It reads like a gritty, postmodernism novel similar to Blade Runner or A Scanner Darkly. Very interesting character development and plot elements, especially since the protagonist can't hide anything. A quick and fast read that keeps you glued to the pages." - eNovel Reviews “Brightside is a fiction novel about a believable "now" where a large population of the world are telepathic, or "Thought Thieves" as they call them in the book. The fearful and ignorant masses cause panic and mass arrests and institutionalization of these individuals, who are sent to a "island in the sky" called Brightside, which is basically a prison on top of a mountain. The book follows Joe and his journey through 100 days at Brightside, and the people he interacts with along the way.”Add Brightside to your bookshelf today!

However, she's in store for a greater challenge than helping the Luvks reclaim their independence. There's a shortage of marriageable females for the large broods of gorgeous Tiger princes. The friction caused by mating problems threatens her sanity as the warrior Lords vie for possession of not only a mate but a powerful political pawn—her, the Marshal whose beauty rivals that of the most marketable princess. And mates the Lords all wish to be. Alas, with every turn in life, we sacrifice a bit of our souls for the greater good. Even to the darkness…Blessed are those who just give into the darkness of Luvk, because there's no room for a woman's sanity when surrounded by Tiger Lords. Enormous. Muscled. Sexy leather pants. Their glorious striped bodies alone could incite riots on Earth. And they all want her. Who is strong enough not to succumb to Luvks' contagious FERAL FEVER? Warning: multiple heroes/partners

If they succeed, the life Cait has built based on secrets could come crashing down around her. And, if they want her to pay for what she's done, her lies may be the least of her concerns.

Download or read book Out at the Movies written by Steven Paul Davies and published by Oldacastle Books. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the decades, gay cinema has reflected the community's journey from persecution to emancipation to acceptance. Politicized dramas like Victim in the 1960s, The Naked Civil Servant in the 1970s, and the AIDS cinema of the 1980s have given way in recent years to films which celebrate a vast array of gay lifestyles. Gay films have undergone a major shift from the fringe to the mainstream—2005’s Academy Awards were dubbed "the gay Oscars" with statues going to Brokeback Mountain, Capote, and Transamerica. Producers began clamoring to back gay-themed movies and the most high profile of these is Gus Van Sant’s forthcoming Milk, starring Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, the first prominent American political figure to be elected to office on an openly gay ticket back in the 1970s. The book also covers gay filmmakers and actors and their influence within the industry, the most iconic scenes from gay cinema, and the most memorable dialogue from key films.
