"Danger lurked around every corner. Even the witness protection program couldn't hide Eden Kelley. When a dark and dangerous stranger blasted into her hideaway, she was imprisoned as much by the sorcery in his eyes as by the strength of his arms. But who was this man, and what did he want from her? Christian Tierney was a man with a mission. Two years ago, a mobster had ordered a hit on Eden Kelley, but Chris's wife, Catherine, had died in her place. Now Chris wanted vengeance, and he wanted justice. But did he want them more than he wanted to possess Eden?"--Page 4 of cover.

If you’re a man of a certain age you’ll know there comes a point in life when getting a sports car and over-analysing your contribution to society sounds like a really good idea.
A rich collection of writing from those negotiating disability in their lives - a group whose voices are not heard often enough My body and its place in the world seemed normal to me. Why wouldn’t it? I didn’t grow up disabled; I grew up with a problem. A problem that those around me wanted to fix. We have all felt that uncanny sensation that someone is watching us. The diagnosis helped but it didn’t fix everything. Don’t fear the labels. That identity, which I feared for so long, is now one of my greatest qualities. I had become disabled – not just by my disease, but by the way the world treated me. When I found that out, everything changed. One in five Australians has a disabilit...
Rocking horses, wild horses, fishing boats, hot boats, cars, trucks, cycles, and planes-Robert Buenger has been involuntarily launched by them all. And he seldom, if ever, pulled over for an ambulance. He was generally riding inside. For some reason, if a rock fell off a cliff and hit someone, it was Buenger. If someone ran into the back of a semitruck or had a fireworks display blow up in his face, it was Buenger. If a guy broke his wrist riding a longhorn steer on the last cattle drive to St. Louis-that was Buenger too. A spirited quest for adventure brought on a goodly share of these exploits. AN OLD KID FROM WYOMING chronicles the often extraordinary events in the lifetime of a homestead...
In this book, members of the ChiLPA Project explore the children's literature of several different cultures, ranging from ancient India, nineteenth century Russia, and the Soviet Union, to twentieth century Britain, America, Australia, Sweden, and Finland. The research covers not only the form and content of books for children, but also their potential social functions, especially within education. These two perspectives are brought together within a theory of children's literature as one among other forms of communication, an approach that sees the role of literary scholars, critics and teachers as one of mediation. Part I deals with the way children's writers and picturebook-makers draw on a culture's available resources of orality, literacy, intertextuality, and image. Part II examines their negotiation of major issues such as the child adult distinction, gender, politics, and the Holocaust. Part III discusses children's books as used within language education programmes, with particular attention to young readers' pragmatic processing of differences between the context of writing and their own context of reading.
