A struggling Hollywood Golden Age screenwriter collaborates with the world's greatest playwright. It's 1936 and Hollywood screenwriter Joe Holliday has a secret. He can see and communicate with ghosts. But because of a difficult childhood, he has long suppressed his ability. When the mercurial head of Apex Studios tasks him with writing a modern version of a Shakespeare play, Joe gradually regains his ability. Reopening himself to the spirit world brings him into contact with an old acquaintance-someone from his very distant past. This persistent, and very illustrious, spirit has a different writing task for him-some unfinished business the two had embarked upon over 400 years ago. When these two tasks ultimately come into conflict, Joe is forced to choose. It is a decision that will have far-reaching, life-changing consequences. Peopled with imagined and real characters, such as Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, and a very famous writer, Such Stuff as Dreams is part ghost story, part tale of "Hollywood's Golden Age," and part chronicle of a man's journey through the buffeting winds of love, change, loyalty and things remembered.

Martin F. Larréy, originally from California, trained with the Jesuits and was awarded a Ph.D. in history from the University of Santa Clara with a thesis on the success of the Spanish administration of the colonies in the New World. His career spanned fifty years in academia, primarily as Academic Vice President for institutions of higher learning throughout the United States. The present work, Embers Among the Ashes, narrates his experience with religious orders in the Church in the United States during the period from 1960 until 2000. With candid insight and acute clarity, Larréy traces the impact that religious orders have had on education in America: an impact that today not only survives, but also grows and flourishes.

It is my utter delight to be the publisher of, The Perilous Journey of Gavin the Great. It is filled with cultured metaphors and sophisticated linguistic vocabulary as well as supported refined plot lines. In many ways you can tell that Gutteridge is a consummate poet, of many decades, when you read lines like this: "...their wings, furious with the wet weight of the wind, collapsed without warning, ...". Something that I thought, as I read this fable, is that it is equivalent to an indigenous fable. I don't want to give this notion too much importance but for me it is filled with autochthonous truth. What I mean by that is that the truth of the fable has an indigenous tone rather than descended from "settlers" or "immigrants". As publisher I joyfully agreed to publish this book after only a cursory, scanning read. I instantly fell in love with Gavin and his merry march of characters. It was only after the book was ready to go to press that I finally did a thorough, blanket-over-lap-feet-up-read. It was only then that I discovered the true value of this spellbinding story, even for me a seventy-plus reader. I love how the book starts with, "Long, long ago near the beginning of time" With a chuckle it made me think of the saga movie Star Wars "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." I have been the editor of a number of novels, memoirs and poetry books. As an editor I love the challenge of suggesting to an author that there were too many characters or not enough, or it was essential to remove or add a chapter. With The Perilous Journey of Gavin the Great I can honestly say that I would not suggest the addition or deletion of a single word let alone a paragraph or chapter. Don Gutteridge, now slowly creeping towards 90, decades after his acclaimed CanLit "Marc Edwards Mystery Series", has resurrected his talents with this stunning book. Now with 75 titles under his belt and years of literary teaching he has written a world class fable worthy of distinction, securing his place in CanLit history. I have to say it again, I am proud to be the publisher of this book. The story is set in the dystopian aftermath of "the great burning". Gutteridge quotes one of his characters; "RA-Mosah (the eldest and wisest of the wisdom-dispensing clan) perpetually preached: "Dame Nature, who is herself but another manifestation of Gollah's all-seeing purpose, must right herself so that all things be kept in precise balance like the perfect halves of an apple or a walnut split by a coon's cunning." The rains will stop, the elder-coons assured a pair of droop-winged blackbirds and one drenched jackrabbit who happened to be within earshot, the rains will stop when they must, and not one milli-moment before." The book is filled with stupendous lines like: ""Where are you?" The muffling fog caught his question, and did not answer." Or "The ooze was licking at his lips, tasting him, mocking him." Or "They simply walked, wrapped in their own silence." At the risk of sounding like a self-serving publisher I will say; don't shy away from reading this book of fervent hope and self-discovery, for all ages,

Mikey Finds Her Faith is the second book in a three-book series. Mikey--the main character--is a spunky and lively second grader who loves all things purple! (Mikey is short for Mikelle, which means "gift from God.") She lives with her little brother, Levi, their parents, and Grandma Frances. As Mikey deals with issues in life, such as confidence and having faith, Grandma Frances is her voice of reason. The character of Grandma Frances is modeled after the author's own maternal grandmother, who died in the mid 90s. Levi, Mikey's little brother, is modeled after the author's nine year old son, Jace. Both boys are on the autism spectrum and share lovable and comical personalities. Both the author and Mikey share a love of purple and have bright, toothy smiles. In this particular book, the family dog - - Kitty - - is sick. Mikey and Levi are terribly worried. Grandma Frances tells them about the power of prayer and their need to have faith in God's awesomeness. This book encourages children, as well as adults, to not despair, but rather to trust God. The books in the Mikey series are targeted towards pre-kindergarten to upper elementary children. And it is the author's hope and prayer that the series becomes a family favorite!

Man sagt, keine Rast für das Böse - und New Orleans realisierte erst mit meiner Ankunft, wie wahr dies doch war. Niemand hatte mir verraten, dass mit meiner Verwandlung die Gaben meiner dämonischen Abstammung gegen mich verwendet werden würden. Niemand hatte mich gewarnt, dass die Flammen der Hölle von innen heraus brennen würden. Oder dass ich zu Lust und Wahnsinn getrieben und meine chaotische Magie noch wilder und unbändiger werden würde.Die einzige Möglichkeit, mich - und die Welt - zu retten, bestand darin, der Bestie zu geben, was sieverlangte: Kontrolle. Als ob die Verwandlung nicht schon genug wäre, war meine Anwesenheit nun bekannt und meine Feinde wurden immer zahlreicher. Während die Bestie unsere vier Reiter der Apokalypse für sich beanspruchen wollte, gab es Dinge zu erledigen. Menschen zu finden. Dämonen zu töten. Und wenn sie einen Pakt mit dem Teufel schlossen ... Nun, keine der beiden Welten würde jemals wieder dieselbe sein.Lang lebe die Königin. Falls ich es überleben sollte, unsterblich zu werden, natürlich.

Twice in her life, Vanessa Jones accidentally touched an electric fence. Each of those sudden jolts made her acutely aware that there were things she missed which others did not. It wasn't until she received an ADHD diagnosis in her early 40's, however, that she began piecing together the ways in which a lifetime of undiagnosed ADHD had left her missing important details like a dissolving marriage, frustrated co-workers, and how to cross the street. Using cited research and relatable, personal stories, Vanessa Jones has written a self-help book that provides explanations to questions ADHD-ers often wonder, such as "Why do I put my foot in my mouth so often?" and "Why can't I start (or finish) certain projects?" Each chapter begins with a humorous lament, written as an epitaph, that epitomizes the struggles of people with ADHD as they have attempted to navigate a world not built for them. If you've been wanting to identify your adult ADHD traits so you can take control of your own trajectory (but couldn't maintain your interest long enough to finish a book about it), come on in. This is a story about you.An English teacher, writer and voice actor, Ms. Jones did a deep dive into ADHD research when she received her adult ADHD diagnosis. She applied this knowledge to her teaching practices with ADHD students, and she wrote down her own stories to make sense of the impact of ADHD on her life. The result is an ADHD-friendly guidebook, complete with an engaging, poignant, laugh-out-loud personal narrative woven throughout that illustrates the various challenges of ADHD, one symptom at a time.

During a study of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, I noticed that fasting was not discussed with the same background and interest as the other topics from Jesus's teachings. It seemed a study that looked at Bible scriptures on fasting might be beneficial.This discussion begins with who fasted in the Bible, why they fasted, how they fasted, and what was the outcome. After spending time with Bible examples, we discuss Biblical teachings on fasting: what God expected, what made fasts unacceptable, what the Bible does not specify, and some historical and additional general information on fasting.There are several types of fasts mentioned in the Bible. In some religions, millions of people fast each year. Sometimes ignorance breeds fear. If we learn what the Bible says about fasting, it should help us understand when we could benefit from spiritual fasting. Understanding what is expected of Christians provides a tool to improve our relationship with our Lord.The reader is strongly encouraged to read the scriptures and put the passage in context. Quotes are from the American Standard version unless noted otherwise.The objective is to aid understanding and spiritual growth that the use of appropriate fasting can provide. Ultimately, may this study provide an additional tool to improve your relationship with Jehovah.

In All of This Was Once Under Water, Natalie Padilla Young conjures a physical and metaphysical universe in which the history of the Great Salt Lake and the struggles of her Mormon ancestors intertwine. Narratives of suffering, phantasmagorical legend, environmental threat, science, faith, love, and gender fluidity unspool in language as pristine and biting as salt. A great imagination is at work in these poems as Young probes the enmeshed lives of an alien, a lone human She, and a mythic monster in startling diction and syntax and haunting imagery. - Teresa Cader, History of Hurricanes, The Paper Wasp, Guests

A new edition of Lisa St Aubin de Teráns second novel (first published 1983 by Jonathan Cape), winner of the John Llewllyn Rhys Memorial Prize (1983).

Jenn stood in solitude on the grand balcony, liberated from the usual retinue of chaperons and the vigilant gaze of her personal guards. Her eyes were fixed on the sky, where wispy cirrus clouds made a feeble attempt to obstruct the warm rays of the summer sun. A dark celestial body glided towards the sun, and she recognized it as the harbinger of an impending solar eclipse. In a matter of moments, the moon would position itself, shrouding their world in an indeterminate period of darkness-whether for minutes or hours.Throughout her existence in the Kingdom of Literra, Jenn had not borne witness to a solar eclipse, and the same held true for her fellow citizens. The sight of the moon, ominous and black against the sky, had incited widespread panic. The kingdom's streets were now filled with agitated crowds, fervently demanding the revocation of Jenn Lynn's recently acquired title, a mere three days after her union with the Crown Prince of Literra. The king's soldiers labored to restore order, grappling with the impassioned masses clamoring for change.

A heart-warming coming-of-age debut novel where sisters learn that even motherless daughters must grow up and become women one day. Arkansas, 1953. Nine-year-old Hazel McKay knows little girls need a mother. So, when her mother decides to leave her and her little sister, Ruthie, without any reason except she wants more, Hazel feels like her life is falling apart. With their father working out of town most days, Hazel and Ruthie are left on their own in the little house in the middle of the woods, where they find more than just animals and birds hiding in the forest. Meanwhile, not far away, ten-year-old Joel lives with his alcoholic father. Caught in a struggle to survive his father's volatile nature and the desire to satisfy his curiosity about the little girls that live in the house in the woods, Joel finds a world of friendship and love he never knew existed. Together, the three encounter school dances, heartbreaks, first loves, and a world turned upside down by the threat of nuclear war. With a new beginning on the horizon, Hazel, Ruthie, and Joel find their happiness is in jeopardy when tragedy strikes, and they are forced to make a choice. Bury a secret so deep no one will ever know the truth or lose everything they hold dear. NetGalley Reviews are in - "What a story!" "Can't wait for the next book." "I absolutely loved this coming of age story by Tennille Marie. It was one of those beautiful stories written with so much heart and love. Her characters were so honest and real. I was totally mesmerized right from the beginning."

Are you currently suffering under late-stage capitalism? Do you shell out cookie-cutter answers in every horrible interview? Did society pressure you to enter the workforce to prove your self-worth, or was that Mom and Dad? If you have answered "yes" to any of the following questions, then you are also familiar with getting f*cked by job hunting. The Art of Job Hunting is Anastasia Helena Fenald's second poetry collection, a classic one-two punch of humorous satire and blunt truth. While taking inspiration from job applications, skill assessments, and interview questions, each poem delivers wit and sarcasm sprinkled with plenty of uncomfortable (read: honest) vulnerability. The Art of Job Hunting is for anyone living paycheck to paycheck, plotting to cannibalize the rich, and still hopeful enough to think they have a chance against nepotism babies.
