The Adventures of Josain Jovenne
Raised in an orphanage in a star system beyond the Earth’s, now an adult, Josain Jovenne seeks adventures. In her trusty spaceship, Stone Ocean, Josain has travelled far and wide. And in every spaceport, there’s another notch on her bedpost. Naturally curious, Josain is drawn to the planet Kralis by a royal ritual. And, determined to see what’s happening inside the Obsidian Palace, Josain sneaks inside. But she isn’t the only one. Savrion is a Kralian on the wrong side of the law, and intends to use the royal ritual as his chance to steal from the Obsidian Palace. There’s only one thing standing in his way, Josain. Josain is many things, but she isn’t a thief. She won’t let Savrion walk away with rare book from the royal library. Even if that means risking her life for a race of beings that aren’t even her own. But perhaps the adventurer and outlaw can come to an agreement that involves far less bloodshed, and instead an outlet for their mutual attraction. THE ADVENTURES OF JOSAIN JOVENNE is a spicy science-fiction romance novella intended to serve as an introduction to my forthcoming science-fiction romance novel, THE STARLIGHT PRINCE.
A Love for the Pages
Kiss. Marry. Kill. Nineteen-year-old June Eyermann has always known exactly which of her favorite Byronic heroes goes where. She’d kiss moody and possessive Rochester from Jane Eyre and marry prideful but repentant Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, leaving obsessive and spiteful Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights to be chucked off a cliff—but no.

But June is about to get a serious wake up call when she returns home for the summer after her college freshman year. Stuck somewhere between feeling like a kid again under her parents’ roof and being forced to start acting like an adult with worries about...
Essays on the History of English Music in Honour of John Caldwell
Articles on English music, from the medieval period to the present day, centred on four of the major areas of scholarly enquiry. The major themes of the essays in this collection reflect the work of the distinguished scholar John Caldwell, professor of music at Oxford University and a composer in his own right. There is a strong focus on early music, with contributions considering the medieval carol, sources for seventeenth- and eighteenth-century harpsichord music, and the transmission of fifteenth-century English music to the Continent; but they range right up to the twentieth century, with an examination of music in Oxford. All are concerned in one way or another with themes which recur in Professor Caldwell's scholarship: sources; style; performance; and historiography. Contributors: SALLY HARPER, DAVID HILEY, EMMA HORNBY, HARRY JOHNSTONE, MARGARET BENT, DAVID MAW, MATTHIAS RANGE, REINHARD STROHM, PETER WRIGHT, MAGNUS WILLIAMSON, JOHN HARPER, SIMON MCVEIGH, CHRISTOPHER PAGE, OWEN REES, SUSAN WOLLENBERG, JOHN ARTHUR SMITH, BENNETT ZON, DAVID MAW.

Remembering England: Cultural Memory in the Sagas of Icelanders
This book provides an in-depth study of depictions of England in the Saga of Icelanders (Íslendingasögur), examining their utility as sources for the history of Viking Age Anglo-Scandinavian cultural contact. The Íslendingasögur resent themselves as histories, but they are difficult historical sources. Their setting is the Saga Age, a period that begins with the settlement of Iceland in the late ninth century and ends along with the Viking Age in the late eleventh century–however, the saga texts are disconnected from this setting, having first been written down in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This book traces the transmission and development of Icelandic cultural memory of Saga Age England across this distance of centuries. It offers case study analyses of how historical time, place, cultures, and events are adapted and conceptualised in the Íslendingasögur and suggests methodological approaches to their study as historical literature. Remembering England is an interdisciplinary book that will appeal to scholars and students of the history of pre-Norman England, the Icelandic sagas, medieval literature, and cultural memory.
