From the author of the New York Times–bestselling White Rabbit Chronicles series comes the first book of a new series. Tenley “Ten” Lockwood is an average seventeen-year-old girl . . . who has spent the past thirteen months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. The reason? Not her obsession with numbers, but her refusal to let her parents choose where she’ll live—after she dies. There is an eternal truth most of the world has come to accept: Firstlife is merely a dress rehearsal, and real life begins after death. In the Everlife, two realms are in power: Troika and Myriad, longtime enemies and deadly rivals. Both will do anything to recruit Ten, including sending their top Laborers to lure her to their side. Soon, Ten finds herself on the run, caught in a wild tug-of-war between the two realms who will do anything to win the right to her soul. Who can she trust? And what if the realm she’s drawn to isn’t where the boy she’s falling for lives? She just has to stay alive long enough to make a decision . . . “Utterly unique and absolutely riveting—I couldn’t put it down! What a marvelously cool world.” —Sarah J.

Book excerpt: An emotional love story that follows the touch-and-go relationship of Hayden and Tenley; two young people who desperately want to love and be loved but are afraid to completely let go of their pasts. Their body art is hot. Their chemistry is even hotter. From her dark hair sweeping below her waist to her soft, sexy curves, Tenley Page intrigues tattoo artist Hayden Stryker in a way no one else ever has…especially when she asks him to ink a gorgeous, intricate design on her back. Yet for all her beauty, there is something darkly tragic and damaged about Tenley that Hayden is everything. Covered in ink and steel, Hayden is everything Tenley has never dared to want, awakening a desire to explore more than the art adorning his stunning body. Trapped by a past that leaves her screaming from nightmares, Tenley sees Hayden as the perfect escape. Although he has secrets too, if they both keep themselves guarded perhaps their intense physical connection will remain only that. But nothing, not even passion, can keep them safe from their pasts…

Download or read book Transnational Flamenco written by Tenley Martin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides insight into how flamenco travels, the forms it assumes in new locales, and the reciprocal effects on the original scene. Utilising a postnational approach to cultural identity, Martin explores the role of non-native culture brokers in cultural transmission. This concept, referred to as ‘cosmopolitan human hubs’, builds on Kiwan and Meinhof’s ‘hubs’ theory of network migration to move cultural migration and globalisation studies forwards. Martin outlines a post-globalisation flamenco culture through analysis of ethnographic research carried out in the UK, Sevilla and Madrid. Insight into these glocal scenes characterises flamenco as a historically globalized art complex, represented in various hubs around the world. This alternative approach to music migration and globalisation studies will be of interest to students and scholars across leisure studies, musicology, sociology and anthropology.

Download or read book Make Mine a Virgin written by Tenley Summer and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who stops drinking on New Year's Eve?! The most sanctioned excuse - possibly ever - for mandatory drunkenness? Well, Tenley Summer for one. She had already stopped too many times to count. Stopping wasn't the problem. Staying stopped was. And yet, in 2010, she finally succeeds. Like Lewis Carroll's Alice, Tenley experiences a life-changing rabbit moment that is also white (just involving light instead of critters). Catapulted into an Alice-style freefall, she is desperate to understand what just happened. So she embarks on a quest filled with colorful characters, snarky commentary and wtf conversations. Her nerdy love of research and insatiable curiosity eventually lead her to stumble upon an effective body-mind-spirit solution that addresses: - the physical issues of a body in withdrawal from the booze it's addicted to; - how to mobilize the mind and its amazing powers; - the (dreaded) spiritual side of things. More than just the "nuts and bolts" of how to quit drinking, Make Mine a Virgin is a joyful, cheeky and self-deprecating celebration of how one drunk finally figured out how to stay stopped - for 30, 60, 90 days and beyond...and enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.
