Book excerpt: TWO FOSTER SIBLINGS, A SOCIETY OF IMMORTAL CREATURES, AND AN ABILITY THAT TERRIFIES EVERYONE. :: This is me - Lasca Grimshaw, spotlight-shy photographer - shamelessly hiding in the shadows outside my first solo art show, whispering with a handsome stranger about shooting wild horses. Life just doesn't get any better than this! He's witty and sexy and, hey I'll be honest, it's been ages since I've let that particular combination take me home for a night. But then I touch his hand and...! :: Here I am, in the middle of the effing Canadian wilderness, in the middle of effing winter, running for my life. An easy recon assignment, I'd assumed. Yeah, well, you know what they say about those schmucks who assume. And I guess I'd know: Hello, my name is Chez, the Super Schmuck. My enemies are closing in. It's do or die. Literally. I take my chance. It's just dumb luck that my hands are bare and I find a patch of skin on the guy and...! :: CHEMISTRY EXISTS. ONLY, IT ISN'T HARMLESSLY THRILLING. IT DEVASTATES.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds Without Wings traces the fortunes of one small community in southwest Turkey (Anatolia) in the early part of the last century—a quirky community in which Christian and Muslim lives and traditions have co-existed peacefully over the centuries and where friendship, even love, has transcended religious differences. But with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the onset of the Great War, the sweep of history has a cataclysmic effect on this peaceful place: The great love of Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty, and Ibrahim, a Muslim shepherd who courts her from near infancy, culminates in tragedy and madness; Two inseparable childhood friends who grow up playing in the hills above the town suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the bloody struggle; and Rustem Bey, a wealthy landlord, who has an enchanting mistress who is not what she seems. Far away from these small lives, a man of destiny who will come to be known as Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is emerging to create a country from the ruins of an empire. Victory at Gallipoli fails to save the Ottomans from ultimate defeat and, as a new conflict arises, Muslims and Christians struggle to survive, let alone understand, their part in the great tragedy that will reshape the whole region forever.

Download or read book Re tyred written by Sara McMurry and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-Tyred is an evocation of India as the author has experienced it as a volunteer in rural areas and on the streets of Kolkata, with beautiful photographs throughout. In Himachal Pradesh, in magnificent scenery of snow-clad peaks and forested hillsides, the children were as poor as those in Rajasthan, and equally keen to learn. In Kolkata exists the deep gulf between rich and poor, living side-by-side. The author recalls being impressed by the aspirations of street children she taught, but saddened by traumas suffered by children who had been rescued by the volunteer organisation. Despite their poverty, the energy and resilience of the village and street people was inspiring. The book touches upon the more sinister aspects of life in poorer areas such as child marriage, violence and lack of opportunity, and in stark contrast describes the colourful and exuberant celebrations of middle-class neighbours in Kolkata, after the author spent four weeks living with a bourgeois Indian family in Jaipur. Re-Tyred paints a vivid and enticing picture of India as a country teeming with life and enormous vitality, a place where happiness doesn’t depend on having everything you want or need, appealing to readers of travel writing and memoirs.
