A reluctant bride.A trickster groom.The lineage of a god comes to an end.Long ago, Loki and Odin swore an oath of brotherhood. Since then, Loki believes that it is enough to love one soul, and wreak havoc on all else, until he learns that he is the one who will be responsible for bringing about the Twilight of the Gods. In a desperate attempt to forestall Ragnarök, Odin betrays his brother and forces him to take a bride. A Valkyrie, someone who will be loyal to Odin, and doubtless keep the god of lies in line. But if Odin believes that Loki will be controlled by the whims of one woman, then he is terribly mistaken.Sigyn has never regretted the decision she made to leave behind her life as a mortal princess to serve Odin as one of his Valkyries, until now... When Odin orders her to marry Loki, Sigyn feels trapped by her duty and the oaths she swore. Even worse, to marry means that she will no longer be a Valkyrie, and she will lose all immortality that comes with it.Tricked during his wedding vows, Loki finds himself exiled to Midgard and bound to a mortal. Now he must keep his new bride alive long enough to find her a new form of immortality or risk being dragged into death with her. Sigyn seeks to find a new purpose after everything that she once believed in betrayed her. Allying themselves to great mortal heroes, they set out to slay a dragon, claim a legendary treasure, and unite kingdoms. All the while, seeking to discover the truth to the question that could change their lives forever-what makes one worthy of becoming a god?This standalone is perfect for romantic fantasy fans and readers of Emma Hamm and Sylvia Mercedes, who are looking for a new slow-burn, swoon-worthy story.

It was on Friday, May 6, 1988 that Bette Davis walked off the set of her last film Wicked Stepmother. Her exit for reported health reasons created a media stir when writer and director Larry Cohen decided to finish the film without her, using the footage he captured during her time on the set and rewriting the film to explain her absence. Davis blasted the film and its director, but when she died months after the film's release, Wicked Stepmother would become forever connected with the legendary star, marking her final big screen appearance. Wicked Becomes Her revisits the later years of Bette Davis' illustrious film career, including the collection of horror films that kept her in the public eye, but through the lens of her final film - Wicked Stepmother. Though Davis abandoned the film shortly after production began, the story behind the making of the film gives readers a new look at the person behind the star. By looking at her work on features like What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?; Hush, Hush ... Sweet Charlotte; Dead Ringer; The Nanny, Burnt Offerings and more, readers will discover the drive of a movie star, whose desire to remain active in her later years was so strong that she would justify a film for no other reason than the fact that her name was on the marquee as its star. Filled with photos and new details behind the production of some of her most beloved films, Wicked Becomes Her offers a new glimpse into the final years of one of the most iconic and successful actresses of the 20th Century.

Buy for the cause. Stay for the entertainment. In 2014, Lesly Pyle's grandmother asked Lesly to write a memory about her. Her grandmother had dementia. She was losing her memories. And she was aware of it. Sometimes. She's the reason Lesly started a social media series for dementia awareness called #PyleOfMemories. These short stories serve as reminder to write the good stuff down before it's lost forever. Now this passion project has a bigger mission: To help fund dementia research via book sales. For the best shot of putting a dent in a disease that affects 55 million families, Lesly asked the best storytellers she knows to write mini memoirs of their own. And within three days of launching, this book shot up Amazon's Best Seller List among titles by Tina Fey, Norm MacDonald and Bill Bryson. Most chapters are comedies. A few are tragedies. Some are both. All are great. And they all support an even greater cause. We can't thank you enough for doing the same. *This book is for adults.

In 1958, a small group of dedicated Quakers and like-minded families from the San Francisco Bay Area envisioned creating a Quaker/Friends residential high school on the West Coast. Within five years, through the dogged determination of dedicated volunteers, the only private, co-educational Quaker school west of the Mississippi at the time was founded in Nevada City, California. The Woolman Way: A History of John Woolman School tells the story of 60 years of resilience and tenacity. Quaker values provided the foundation for study, work, and living during Woolman's 38 years as a boarding school community and later as a place for reimagined educational programming. A devastating wildfire swept through the campus in 2020, but ever resilient, education and activities for peace, justice, and environmental sustainability continue to thrive at Woolman through Sierra Friends Center. This is the story of that unique school and its legacy.
