He decides to push her right back out the door. Not only is the young woman new to BDSM, but she’s unsuited to her role–armoured in leather like a Domme, she’s more liable to punch a Dom than kneel. ![]() Andrea’s thrilled…and terrified.įorced to accept an unknown submissive into his carefully run trainee program, Master Cullen is furious. ![]() She’d given up finding a true Dom when her friend finagles her a place as a trainee in an exclusive BDSM club with the powerful Shadowlands Masters. ![]() He has to be tougher than the slum-bred bullies she grew up with.

Its modern, its spooky, it’s fun and diverse, with all the characters you know, and love accompanied by a twist so bone chilling and knee knocking I had to put a content warning on my website about it. ![]() ![]() My newest book DARLING is a peter pan adaption. Hi everyone, I’m Kayla and I like writing thrillers! I am the author of THE WICKER KING and THE WEIGHT OF THE STARS, both fun LGBT books with snappy dialogue and devastating endings. INTERVIEW Thank you for allowing me to interview you! Can you start off by introducing yourself? I knew I wanted to read it and it actually made my most anticipated books for this year. Ancrum and was really excited to be able to do an interview as well! I absolutely loved The Wicker King and enjoyed The Weight of the Stars and once I heard about Darling, I was so very excited about it. Continuing my spotlight of LGBTQ+ books, I want to spotlight Darling by K. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also think that because I didn’t find any of the characters really likable, It affected my experience. It was an interesting story no doubt but I found some places stretched thin and it didn’t hold me down like I expected it to. I think my expectations were a bit too high considering the author’s reputation as a romance writer and I was disappointed. The story covers Poppy’s experience on her voyage to Portugal and the unexpected happenings as they arrive at Portugal but when she eventually finds her way back to England, she realizes she has lost her heart to Andrew. This is where she meets Andrew, the handsome captain who seems more like a gentleman to Poppy than a privateer. ![]() In what seemed like a dream, Poppy discovers a cave with treasure, then is kidnapped by pirates or privateers as they like to call themselves then finds herself on a ship sailing for Portugal. ![]() Poopy Bridgerton is naturally fierce and adventurous having grown up alongside 4 brothers and it is with this spirit she ditches her maid who was supposed to chaperon her on her daily walk along the beach that caused her undoing. I then realized that there was also a prequel series of 4 books so I thought to begin with the prequel first. ![]() With the buzz around the new TV series “The Bridgertons”, I decided to read the series of books first before I watch the series. ![]() ![]() a?Military Power and Warfarea? turns to the pragmatic business of military performance: operations, tactics, and logistics. a?Strategya? presses further, into the realm of strategic behavior, and serves as a bridge between the political focus of part one and the military concerns that follow. ![]() a?War and Peacea? tackles the larger issues of strategic history that drive the demand for the services of strategic thought and practice. ![]() The maxims are grouped according to five clusters. While one can never guarantee strategic success, which depends on policy, military prowess, and the quality of the dialogue between the two, a strategic education led by the judgments in these maxims increases the chances that onea?s errors will be small rather than catastrophic. ![]() This collection of mini essays will forearm politicians, soldiers, and the attentive general public against manya?probably mosta? fallacies that abound in contemporary debates about war, peace, and security. Colin Gray presents an inventive treatise on the nature of strategy, war, and peace, organized around forty maxims. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With warmth and wit, Jackson also recounts how he navigated the many obstacles and quirks of his transition-like figuring out how to have a chest binder delivered to his NYU dorm room and having an emotional breakdown at a Harry Potter fan convention. Illuminated by journal entries spanning childhood to adolescence to today, he candidly recalls the challenges and loneliness he endured as he came to terms with both his gender and his bisexual identity. In this “soulful and heartfelt coming-of-age story” (Jamia Wilson, director and publisher of the Feminist Press), Jackson chronicles the ups and downs of growing up gender-confused. He barely remembers meeting anyone who was openly gay, let alone being taught that transgender people existed outside of punchlines. Growing up in Texas in the 1990s, he had no transgender role models. Jackson didn’t share this thought with anyone because he didn’t think he could share it with anyone. ![]() When Jackson Bird was twenty-five, he came out as transgender to his friends, family, and anyone in the world with an internet connection.Īssigned female at birth and raised as a girl, he often wondered if he should have been born a boy. An unflinching and endearing memoir from LGBTQ+ advocate Jackson Bird about how he finally sorted things out and came out as a transgender man. ![]() ![]() His characters live in a world of darkness and threat, pain and violence, yet they find with each other hope and love and delight. He’s cheeky, rude, mocking and profane, but his heart’s in the right place. ![]() That’s what’s apparent in all of Moore’s books. ![]() Prior to this year, I’d read Lamb twice and reviewed it once, in 2017, reveling in its over-the-top irreverent humor with an undertone of seriousness. Yet, as much as it might seem a sacrilege to make fun of the Bard - Moore even has a novel called Shakespeare for Squirrels - he really swung for the blasphemy fences with his 2002 Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal. Christopher Moore is a writer of joyfully goofy and ribald novels about such things as vampires, demons, San Francisco, a Native-American trickster and the comic aspects of Shakespeare’s tragedies, such as the randy fool in King Lear. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I think a lot of it goes back to the breakup from Metallica,” he says. Mustaine has a theory about why he is so roundly hated. When we caught up with him prior to his date in Denver, part of the tour for the new Dystopia album, he was in great form, talking freely in his typical fashion. ![]() The Megadeth main man with the loose lips hasn’t been short of opinions in the past, and he’s caught a fair amount of stick for it on a handful of websites, he is openly despised. ![]() Or maybe these charismatic rock stars struggle with personal demons like addiction or volatile artistic temperaments. Maybe they deliberately pull an Axl Rose and delay going on stage for two hours, leaving fans waiting around like cattle. Rock and roll has never experienced a shortage of polarizing characters, those individuals whose music we might adore but who, when you hear them talk, just sound like assholes. ![]() ![]() Piter Pan dans Les Jardins de Kensington.

This edition features more of Rackham's illustrations and formats the book so that the images appear interspersed throughout the text rather than at the end of the book-as they had in the 1906 edition. Books in better condition or with particularly interesting histories fetch higher prices.Īnother valuable edition is the 1912 republication by Hodder and Stoughton. This particular edition (Hodder and Stoughton: London, 1906) is valued between $500 and $18,000. Barrie's first published novel about Peter Pan is a valuable and beautiful addition to collections, particularly in its first edition which was illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is the melancholy story of young Peter who, as an infant, escapes from his mother and finds himself among the fairies of London's Kensington Gardens. The whimsical and playful boy who never grew up has been an enriching part of so many lives for over a century. For many of us, it is almost impossible to imagine childhood without Peter Pan. ![]() |
