Disgrace
Scott MacRae, a disgraced fairy prince, is faking his way through a human cover life in Gloucester, Massachusetts in the era of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. On the fishing docks, he meets Skylar Wakefield, a lively schoolteacher from a wealthy New England family. He is immediately drawn to her, but he can't quell his fear that his vindictive, fairy queen ex-wife might someday find him and hence, destroy him by killing anyone he lets himself love.
Fairy Tale
In Pyxis, a city of fairies at the icy border of civilization, Queen Andromeda intends to reach into the modern world of humans and kill everyone associated with her ex-husband, Scott MacRae, the King of the Unworthy, born with the ability to live in either world, fairy or human. Scott's sons, Christopher and Joseph MacRae, are enmeshed in their own struggles, oblivious to the truth of the forces that have shaped their lives and led to a rift between them. The fate of the MacRae family rests in very small hands. With the queen's estranged daughter, Cassiopeia, acting as their guide, the MacRae brothers learn more about their intertwined families and embark on a quest to find Scott MacRae before Andromeda finds him first. Their quest, shared by the fairy princess, takes them great distances, both geographical and personal. All the while, Pyxis plagues their thoughts, haunts their dreams, and sends forth its dark messengers to carry out the war that started long before the brothers and the princess were born. And Cassiopeia's love, though pure and unwavering, has as much dividing power as evil does. . . .

Sometimes dreams do come true. . . ."He looked down at his clothes. White-they always began that way." And though love has failed before, perhaps this time it's meant to be. . . . "He bounded toward her, grabbed for her hand. He missed. Falling to his knees, he fumbled for the dress. It slipped through his fingers. Once again, she danced between moonbeams, farther and farther away from him. Her laughter grew more distant. Soon he couldn't tell if she was giggling or weeping." But evil has a will of its own. . . ."Then that sound was gone, or more precisely, replaced . . . drowned to nothing. There was one, after another, after another. From all angles, they converged into a line with their w...
The Fallow
In the not-so-distant future . . . and if a cult could rule what remains of the world . . . While Portsmith is undergoing its annual Delinquency Purge, Herald and his team of rebellious writers--Virtue, Law, Blasphemy, Parody, Doxy, Hearsay, Gospel, and Corollary--are hiding in the watch room of a lighthouse. Their island sanctuary, provided by the one they call "Captain," is almost too good to be true. The ocean views are breathtaking, the apples are ripe and fresh from the orchard, and Herald hasn't had a problem keeping warm at night. But Herald can never escape the truth. Their crimes are punishable by death or the unthinkable, and Herald is at risk more than anyone. And Virtue, the girl...

Elastic Language in Persuasion and Comforting
This innovative book examines the discourse of reality television, and the elasticity of language in the popular talent show The Voice from a cross-cultural perspective. Analysing how and why elastic language is used in persuasion and comforting, a comparison between Chinese and English is made, and the authors highlight the special role that elastic language plays in effective interactions and strategic communication. Through the lens of the language variance of two of the world’s most commonly spoken languages, the insights and resources provided by this book are expected to advance knowledge in the fields of contrastive pragmatics and cross-cultural communication, and inform strategies in bridging different cultures. This study highlights the need to give the elastic use of language the attention it deserves, and reveals how language is non-discrete and strategically stretchable. This book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students engaged in elastic/vague language studies, cross-cultural pragmatics, media linguistics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics and communication studies.
