Wing Dancer by Allyson James,Jennifer Ashley Pdf

I say my Crossroads Hotel gives the magical a refuge from the world, but things are going too far, too fast. First, Drake, one of the dragons I’ve tangled with in the past, shows up with a dragon egg, of all things, asking me to guard it from all comers. This is after the sheriff’s grandfather nearly wrecks on my front door and begs me for a place to hole up. Not only that, but my grandmother has a new ally, a mysterious crow Changer who might be more dangerously powerful than we know. When the dragon egg proves to be more important that Drake is letting on, Mick and I embark on a quest to discover who murdered the kid’s mother, and what new and dangerous foe will stop at nothing to eliminate me, Mick, and my friends and family to obtain the egg and begin the destruction of all dragon-kind.

Nightwalker by Allyson James,Jennifer Ashley Pdf

A crossbow’s twang in the middle of the night warns me that an enterprising vampire slayer has come to kill my resident Nightwalker, Ansel, a permanent guest in my Crossroads Hotel and my friend. When I and my dragon boyfriend, Mick, intervene to save Ansel’s un-life, we discover that the attack is only the beginning of an oncoming storm. I already have my hands full trying to keep my evil half-sister under control, planning for my father’s upcoming wedding, and figuring out what the woman who claims to be Coyote’s wife wants. On top of that, I have a few dragons on my back, plus I’m worrying about Mick, who’s behaving strangely again. It seems that every slayer around is now is after Ansel, who fears he killed the woman he loves in a Nightwalker frenzy. Things are made more complicated by the fact that Ansel and his girlfriend might have unearthed an artifact of incredible magic. Now I have to choose between protecting Ansel or facing the most powerful magical beings in the world, who are willing to destroy me, Mick, her hotel, and everyone I’ve ever cared about to get to Ansel and his secrets.

Chasing Lightning by Rachel York Pdf

Chasing Lightning (new release edition) is the provocative story of Scarlett Faye Turner's coming-of-age in the 1960s. Her journey into sexual self-discovery and acceptance is at times hilarious, sometimes shocking, and always entertaining. When she isn't mouthing off and scandalizing just about everybody in the backward river town of Dillinger, Pennsylvania, Scarlett has her nose buried in a book dreaming of a life far away where fame and money can keep her safe from the bogeymen of her childhood and the consequences of following her heart. Scarlett believes falling in love makes you as crazy as her neighbor who chases thunderstorms with her camera. She is positive no one in their right mind would risk being struck by lightning any more than they would by love. But that resolve quickly crumbles when seductive Gina Jamison shows up Scarlett's senior year and knocks her heart sideways. Their improbable meeting and steamy love affair starts Scarlett on a journey that will take her across the years and through a succession of lovers...from a women's college in West Virginia to the magical desert of New Mexico to the sexual liberation of Paris in the 1960s...from the arms of a woman she can never forget to the depths of her own soul and a painful realization that promises to transform her completely.

Inverness by Billy Langston Pdf

"God's Country," is the best way to describe Inverness, during the '60s. If was a safe place filled with wonder and natural beauty. While reading Inverness; The Barefoot Years, take a break and close your eyes. See if you can remember chasing lightning bugs at dusk or the smell after a spring rain. Can you still hear the whistle of the midnight train or remember running barefoot on the school play ground. I hope this book brings you a flood of great childhood memories. If I had one wish it would be to turn back the hands of time so our children or grandchildren could live as we did, a carefree, innocent childhood.

Hunting Nature's Fury by Roger Hill,Peter Bronski Pdf

Each year, at least 1,200 tornadoes batter the United States. While most occur in Tornado Alley--a vast, weather-beaten swath of middle America-in truth, tornadoes can occur almost anywhere. And where there are tornadoes, there are storm chasers. They come in all shapes and sizes, from hobbyists to researchers to professional chasers. There is one, however, who stands well above the rest: Roger Hill. Hunting Nature's Fury tells the story of Roger Hill and his love affair with storm chasing, taking you on a suspenseful and dramatic ride across the Great Plains, into the Deep South, even into the eyes of such recent hurricanes as Katrina. You'll accompany Hill as he braves close calls, makes history, and gains insight into the science of severe weather. This is a story of a storm chaser obsessed with the storms that almost killed him; of resiliency in the face of disaster; and of humility in the presence of the awesome power of nature. Includes eight color pages of jaw-dropping photos taken by Hill showing many of the storms chronicled in the book.

How the Light Gets In by Pat Schneider Pdf

"'When I begin to write, I open myself and wait. And when I turn toward an inner spiritual awareness, I open myself and wait.' With that insight, Pat Schneider invites readers to contemplate their lives through spiritual observation and exploratory writing. In seventeen concise thematic chapters that include meditations on topics such as fear, prayer, forgiveness, social justice, and death, How the Light Gets In gracefully guides readers through the philosophical and spiritual questions that face everyone in the course of meeting life's challenges. Praised as a 'fuse lighter' by author Julia Cameron and 'the wisest teacher of writing I know' by the celebrated writing guru Peter Elbow, Pat Schneider has lived a life of writing and teaching, passion and compassion. With How the Light Gets In, she delves beyond the typical 'how-to's' of writing to offer an extended rumination on two inner paths, and how they can run as one. Schneider's book is distinct from the many others in the popular spirituality and creative writing genre by virtue of its approach, using one's lived experience--including the experience of writing--as a springboard for expressing the often ineffable events that define everyday life. Her belief that writing about one's own life leads to greater consciousness, satisfaction, and wisdom energizes the book and carries the reader elegantly through difficult topics. As Schneider writes, 'All of us live in relation to mystery, and becoming conscious of that relationship can be a beginning point for a spiritual practice--whether we experience mystery in nature, in ecstatic love, in the eyes of our children, our friends, the animals we love, or in more strange experiences of intuition, synchronicity, or prescience.'"--Provided by publisher.

Closer to Perfect by Justin Paul Fox Pdf

Closer to perfect is a poignant novella of both love and bereavement. Trying to recover from a loss of love, the narrator takes on a precise routine to the most minor detail. Weeks deep in this routine, he finds himself sitting at a café and notices someone not part of his monotonous flow of life, a beautiful woman. A successful writer, he builds a narrative around their potential meeting. First, he weaves a "happily-ever-after" fiction, quickly followed by a second creation that depicts the quintessential of a "love-gone-wrong." In creating these two tales, he realizes he has two choices; he can take a chance and meet her, or he can be content with imagining how perfect she might be. She could be as perfect as the first tale of love, or she could be as dreadful as the second tale of disappointment; but either way, the choice is his.
