Ashton Harper's collection, Always Something Heartfelt: Life, Love, and Heartbreak, is a myriad of human experiences captured in lyrical verse. As tributes and eulogies, the poems in this collection capture the "Maybe I'll kiss your lips, gently," potential love to the "Is this what heaven feels like?" daydreamy love to the "But I've always wanted you," unrequited love. From the highest of romance-filled highs to the lowest of loneliness lows, and everything in between, the poet's honest and vulnerable journey leads by example, inviting readers to come to this collection as their whole, full-spectrum-of-emotional selves. With urgency and a deep understanding of what it is to celebrate and grieve genuine connection, Harper unabashedly explores the unmapped terrain of life, and the relationships made and lost along the way, with fierce language and visceral storytelling.

Danielle Stevens is Hollywood’s “next big thing” in a long line of next big things. When she goes to Dallas to prepare for a role—shadowing Detective Harper Jeremiah—she’s not only running from her fame…she’s also running from a stalker. Harper Jeremiah wouldn’t recognize a Hollywood actress even if she bumped into one on the street. The last thing she wants to do is to get pulled from her current case to have an actress follow her around. But the perceived babysitting gig quickly turns into a protection detail as the threats against Dani escalate. The two women form a bond as secrets are shared, trust builds, and the stalker turns into a hunter. As the stalker’s pursuit becomes relentless, Harper becomes even more determined than ever to protect Dani at any cost. But could that unwavering conviction get them both killed?
“If after five years you don’t think you owe me at least that amount of respect, then you’re not the man I thought you were Gibraltar. How could you just disappear for eight days with no explanation.” “Look Harper, I told you … it was work. I got called out of town at the last minute. I was handpicked to do that security job. Do you know what it means to be selected to provide personal security for a client like that? I worked 16 hour days; eight days straight. I was tired as hell when I fell into bed at night, and then I had to get up and do it all over again the next day. Look, I’m sorry …" “Let me ask you this … you said your client didn’t want you using personal cell phones on the job. But the last time I checked, there were 24 hours in a day. You worked 16. By my calculations, that left you eight hours to pee, bathe, eat, fart, brush your teeth … and anything else you wanted to do. Did you do all of that?” “Don’t look at me like I have two heads. Answer me dammit!” Harper screamed. “And your point is?” Gibraltar said, folding his arms across his massive chest. “My point is,” Harper hissed, “you had time to send a two-second text or leave a ten-second voice message. Your phone is like an appendage. You always have it with you, so I know that wasn’t the problem. I didn’t warrant a few seconds of your time? Really! That’s what hurts the most,” Harper continued, a sob settling somewhere in the middle of her chest. “You know what I realized as I was worrying myself sick over you those eight days? I realized that you never go out of your way for me Gibraltar. Never. It always – always – has to be convenient for you to have any type of interaction with me,” Harper said on a whisper. “I thought,” she said, futilely trying to keep her cheeks dry of tears, “give him time. He’ll see how happy we could be together. But then there was always that little voice inside that said, ‘He only calls when it’s convenient Harper. Like when he’s had enough sleep, or when he gets the next day off, or when he’s done at the gym, or when he doesn’t have to do overtime.’” “I tried so hard not to be one of these pushy women who’s always pressuring her man to do something. I wanted you to be with me because you wanted to; not because I put pressure on you. I thought that if you could see that I wasn’t one of ‘those’ kinds of women, you’d respect me more; that you’d see what life could be like for us together. But it seems like the more I didn’t ask anything of you, the less you gave.” “But I loved you. I still love you. So I made myself believe that it didn’t matter. That you just needed time. I see clearly now that there was never going to come a time because you know what? Life has a funny way of being ridiculously inconvenient. But when you care for someone …” Harper let her voice trail off. Running the back of her left hand over her cheek to stop another tear midstream, she continued, “But I can’t pretend any more that I'm some modern woman who has all her shit together and is okay with this type of casual relationship.” “I’m not. I’m a real woman with real feelings. And the way you treat me hurts … it hurts like hell,” Harper said. “And it’s been eating away at my soul for a long time.” Harper took her time to dry every tear. Then she looked into the dark-brown eyes of the man she’d loved for five years and said what she knew she’d needed to say for a long time. “I really should probably thank you, because who knows how long I would have let whatever it is we call this supposed relationship go on had this not happened.” “Harper look …” Gibraltar started, feeling the need to say something. “Gibraltar you don’t need to say anything. Your actions have said it all – for five years now.” Harper opened the front door of her apartment. Gibraltar walked out. She closed the door silently behind him and clicked the lock -- on a past that should have ended long ago … and a future that was never meant to be. ### interracial romance, bwwm romance, african american romance, contemporary Christian romance, multiracial romance, short story romance, short romance, christan romance, religious romance

Phenom: The Making of Bryce Harper by Rob Miech Pdf
"The remarkable story of Bryce Harper's unforgettable ride from Morse Stadium to the top of the baseball draft" (Jayson Stark, ESPN.com) updated from the hardcover edition (The Last Natural) to include his Rookie of the Year season! Sporting a fresh cover and a bonus chapter that covers Harper's award-winning rookie season with the Washington Nationals, this expanded edition of Phenom (originally published as The Last Natural) gives fans an all-access pass to baseball's newest rising star. Before he famously became a Major League All-Star as a teenager, Harper already had dominated high school competition like Mickey Mantle on the playground and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which dubbed him the "most exciting prodigy since LeBron James." Seeking greater tests as a hitter, the precocious star got his GED after his sophomore year and enrolled at the College of Southern Nevada, where he would face future pro pitchers in a difficult wooden-bat league. Sportswriter Rob Miech was "embedded" with the team—in the dugout and locker room and on team buses and in motel rooms—to provide a warts-and-all account of a boy among men playing like a man among boys. Amid fascinating personal stories including the dynamics between a veteran coach and Harper's overprotective father, the jealousies of teammates and opponents, and the sudden descent of press armies on a tiny college field, the author chronicles a season-long experiment that culminates in Harper leading the Coyotes to the Junior College World Series and signing a $9.9 million contract negotiated by notorious agent Scott Boras.

The Postsouthern Sense of Place in Contemporary Fiction by Martyn Bone Pdf
For generations, southern novelists and critics have grappled with a concept that is widely seen as a trademark of their literature: a strong attachment to geography, or a "sense of place." In the 1930s, the Agrarians accorded special meaning to rural life, particularly the farm, in their definitions of southern identity. For them, the South seemed an organic and rooted region in contrast to the North, where real estate development and urban sprawl evoked a faceless, raw capitalism. By the end of the twentieth century, however, economic and social forces had converged to create a modernized South. How have writers responded to this phenomenon? Is there still a sense of place in the South, or perhaps a distinctly postsouthern sense of place? Martyn Bone innovatively draws upon postmodern thinking to consider the various perspectives that southern writers have brought to the concept of "place" and to look at its fate in a national and global context. He begins with a revisionist assessment of the Agrarians, who failed in their attempts to turn their proprietary ideal of the small farm into actual policy but whose broader rural aesthetic lived on in the work of neo-Agrarian writers, including William Faulkner and Eudora Welty. By the 1950s, adherence to this aesthetic was causing southern writers and critics to lose sight of the social reality of a changing South. Bone turns to more recent works that do respond to the impact of capitalist spatial development on the South -- and on the nation generally -- including that self-declared "international city" Atlanta. Close readings of novels by Robert Penn Warren, Walker Percy, Richard Ford, Anne Rivers Siddons, Tom Wolfe, and Toni Cade Bambara illuminate evolving ideas about capital, land, labor, and class while introducing southern literary studies into wider debates around social, cultural, and literary geography. Bone concludes his remarkably rich book by considering works of Harry Crews and Barbara Kingsolver that suggest the southern sense of place may be not only post-Agrarian or postsouthern but also transnational.
