Book excerpt: SNOWAs a young boy, abandoned by my parents and ripped apart from my twin sister, I learned early on that the world was full of evil and hate. I survived by living between the light and darkness, using my shifter abilities to stay alive...until one mistake should have cost me my life. Instead, it became my salvation and gave me a family and band of brothers who had my back no matter what. The Dark Leopards MC was not a gang to be trifled with, and many gave us a wide birth, and as the Sergeant At Arms, I ensured that's the way it stayed. But someone was trying to encroach on our territory and begin a war. I suspect the woman I saved, the woman whom I discover is my mate, is tied to it all somehow. I just have to figure out the puzzle before it's too late. VERITYI was only trying to help a friend. The last thing I ever thought is that my friend would try to kidnap me, but thankfully someone or something saved me. Rushing to meet my roommate, Siam, I got another shock when the gang responsible for my brother's death are her friends. I didn't care if her brother had mesmerizing eyes or if I had a hard time not thinking about him. He was the enemy! But even as my enemy, he may be my only chance to stay alive and learn the truth. And if Snow is the one protecting me in and out of bed, I wouldn't complain too much.

Download or read book Where God s People Are Going Life Giving Messages written by Lyle McTeer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years the church has prayed for revival to come, never knowing or understanding how God might answer that prayer. Today, we are witnessing the greatest shaking that we have ever known, and on a world wide scale. As financial institutions become bankrupt, and many lose jobs, land, and homes, the awakening that we once prayed for has come! Everything that can be shaken is, and this scenario is causing even the weakest links within the soul of man to rise up, as God becomes our only hope. But what will become of it all, and how will we survive? Where Gods People are Going is like an oracle from the Lord. He tells us in His word that My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27 Until we come to know the Lords voice, our relationship, and our knowledge of Him is vague at best. The life giving messages in this book are just that, messages that bring life to dark situations, and answers to lifes questions about today, and what is yet to come. My questions to the Lord often reflect the times in which we live as I ask the simple question, why?

Download or read book The Flirt s Tragedy written by Richard A. Kaye and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2002-05-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the flirtation plots of novels by Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and W. M. Thackeray, heroines learn sociability through competition with naughty coquette-doubles. In the writing of George Eliot and Thomas Hardy, flirting harbors potentially tragic consequences, a perilous game then adapted by male flirts in the novels of Oscar Wilde and Henry James. In revising Gustave Flaubert’s Sentimental Education in The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton critiques the nineteenth-century European novel as morbidly obsessed with deferred desires. Finally, in works by D. H. Lawrence and E. M. Forster, flirtation comes to reshape the modernist representation of homoerotic relations. In The Flirt’s Tragedy: Desire without End in Victorian and Edwardian Fiction, Richard Kaye makes a case for flirtation as a unique, neglected species of eros that finds its deepest, most elaborately sustained fulfillment in the nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century novel. The author examines flirtation in major British, French, and American texts to demonstrate how the changing aesthetic of such fiction fastened on flirtatious desire as a paramount subject for distinctly novelistic inquiry. The novel, he argues, accentuated questions of ambiguity and ambivalence on which an erotics of deliberate imprecision thrived. But the impact of flirtation was not only formal. Kaye views coquetry as an arena of freedom built on a dialectic of simultaneous consent and refusal, as well as an expression of "managed desire," a risky display of female power, and a cagey avenue for the expression of dissident sexualities. Through coquetry, novelists offered their response to important scientific and social changes and to the rise of the metropolis as a realm of increasingly transient amorous relations. Challenging current trends in gender, post-gender, and queer-theory criticism, and considering texts as diverse as Darwin’s The Descent of Man and Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado, Kaye insists that critical appraisals of Victorian and Edwardian fiction must move beyond existing paradigms defining considerations of flirtation in the novel. The Flirt’s Tragedy offers a lively, revisionary, often startling assessment of nineteenth-century fiction that will alter our understanding of the history of the novel.

Download or read book Treading Water written by Sydney Hanley and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney Hanley was four years old when her mom gave her the nickname “Fishy Girl.” Growing up by a lake, Sydney was always in the water—often deeper than her mother would have liked. She played mermaids with her sister, catch with her brothers, and swam laps to her neighbors’ buoys and back. She would spend hours in the lake for days at a time. She could never just be by the water; if she was near it, she had to go under, had to swim. At freshly nineteen, in the spring of her senior year of high school, Sydney learned how to properly tread water for the first time. Now in college, Sydney reflects on her time spent as an athlete throughout her life with her memoir, Treading Water. She refuses to hold back the raw moments of her journey toward college athletics as she extends a lifeline to those struggling in a world obsessed with the curation of self-images. Treading Water breaks into “writing sketches” to convey Sydney’s personal entrapment with the relentless pursuit of perfection, the emotional toll of being consistently reduced to statistics, and the lull that follows a blatant failure to meet expectations. The memoir also delves into critical moments in Sydney’s life where seeking help and embracing vulnerability propelled her toward a stage of healing and self-acceptance. With Treading Water, Sydney shares how sometimes just keeping her head above water was exhausting. Sometimes, she even gave up completely. But ultimately, she created her own path back to self-fulfillment and acceptance. Her memoir is a testament to the importance of mental health in sports, the courage it takes to speak out, and the strength in the legs of those still treading.
