![]() What's a man to do but make sure then that he's the last man standing, and that Aria would be right there by his side, his forever. ![]() So is it so wrong to want to conquer her too, then? Not only is Ryden in jeopardy of losing the union to a force far more treacherous than anticipated, but he might be losing his heart to the fiery-eyed little Terran too. Despite looming threat and ever-lingering death, Ryden can't help but keep noticing the feisty woman who seems to fight him on every step. Being sent to babysit the Galactic Union from a force they're clearly not equipped to deal with feels like all three at the same time. Existing in a brutal reality of combat and conquest, the newest Brion general to join the ranks has no time or patience for weak politicians, petty tasks or wasting his time. Ryden won his spot through sweat and blood and as far as he's concerned, that's the only way to live. Not only may she have met her match, but the man might very well be the most compelling, infuriating, sexy and despicable being she's ever laid her eyes on. But she couldn't have been prepared for the general. ![]() ![]() ![]() Having to prove herself is nothing new for Aria and when she's tasked to keep a Brion general on a leash during his trip to the seat of the union, it seems like another challenge to face. A curvy, confident Earth woman, she's made it to the upper echelons of her profession, working as an Ambassador for the Galactic Union itself! Well, Ambassador. Aria Harris has been fighting for recognition all her life. ![]()

Maye Musk dispelled all myths about ageism after embracing her grey hair and becoming an international supermodel in her sixties. With an indomitable spirit, Maye overcame her hardships with a no-nonsense attitude and the firm belief that while one cannot control everything, you can always make a plan. In her compelling memoir, Maye shares hard-earned wisdom and frank, practical advice on careers (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let those you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything), and more. She struggled emotionally and financially as a single mom to Elon, Kimbal and Tosca, battled weight issues, and she had to restart her life and her practice as a dietician in numerous new cities over and again. Things have not always been easy for the mother of South African-born entrepreneur Elon Musk. When Maye Musk decided to make grey hair glamorous, she became an international model and a worldwide speaker in her sixties – a far cry from the young divorcée living in Durban to make ends meet to provide for her three children. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her novels have been selections of the Doubleday and Rhapsody Book Club. ![]() Her novels have been recognized with a RITA, Romance Writers of America’s most prestigious award for excellence, a HOLT medallion award honoring outstanding literary fiction, a Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award, five Texas Gold Awards, the Golden Quill Award, the Rising Star Award as well as other awards and recognitions.

It’s not as if Matt had grown up in a family that enjoyed exploring the world. The day before he and a friend were to return back to Boston–and he to his dull corporate job at a hospital–he sat on a beach and made the decision to backpack in Southeast Asia for a year. He started it about 12 years ago, after a short “American-style” vacation (two weeks, once a year) in Thailand.

Milly is the daughter of Allison, Aubrey is the daughter of Adam, and Jonah (or JT) is the son of Anders. Twenty-four years later, in the present day, three of Mildred’s children have children of their own. Mildred offered no explanation for her abrupt disconnection from her children other than a cryptic one-sentence letter sent by her lawyer: You know what you did. Shortly after Abraham passed away, Mildred mysteriously disowned and refused to see her college-aged children. Mildred Story was married to Abraham Story and lived with him on Gull Cove Island with their four children: Adam, Anders, Allison, and Archer. The Cousins is an account of the wealthy Story family and the mystery that drove them apart 24 years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shanghai was small when he was snatched, and that was the point: children’s hands were more adept at sorting plastic. She needed to save to buy her son’s freedom. ![]() Summer made clothes, Foxglove danced for men, they all relied on plastic as currency and so Coral spent her days plucking recyclable plastic from the brackish water of a nearby river. ![]() Fall held school for children who might show up. Her partner, Trillium, did tattooing for the girls who worked at Trashlands, the garishly-lit club that lent its name to the junkyard where everyone lived. Plucking, in fact, was the only way she had to make money. She supposed that in The Els, where damage from floods was minimal, people had clean water and heat but as a plucker in Scrappalachia, the only thing Coral knew for sure about was plastic. Fall her entire life, and she knew he wouldn’t make things like that up. Fall was the only one in Trashlands who was old enough to remember those things, and so most people were skeptical. Do what you gotta do in the new novel, “Trashlands” by Alison Stine… or die.įresh, clean water from a pipe and heat from the floor. Anything to have a roof over your head and food in your belly, a few bucks for the basics, maybe an unnecessary gewgaw for comfort. Hunt, scrounge, gather, you’d do it if that was required.

It draws from Tiffany Lethabo King’s thinking on shoals to theorize the gathering and accumulation of tales that occurs in Hopkinson’s re/imaginings of “Bluebeard,” “The Kind and the Unkind Girls,” and soucouyant folklore. This article presents a reading of Nalo Hopkinson’s short stories “The Glass Bottle Trick,” “Precious,” and “Greedy Choke Puppy” that considers Caribbean Canadian subjectivity through lenses of (inter)textuality and the material/metaphorical spaces and movements of interruption. ![]() ![]() “Although his two most important works, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, were published in Paris in the 1930s, because of their heavy sexual content, they were not published in the United States until the early 1960s, when Miller’s work became the leading battlefield in the war over ‘pornographic’ literature” (Hoffman, 108). Once hailed by Norman Mailer as “the last great American pioneer,” Miller sparked much controversy over the novel’s explicit descriptions of sexual encounters.
