Moriah Jones
Growing up in the time of good King Arthur and living in a sleepy village in Wales, fifteen-year-old Moriah Jones seems an ordinary human girl, but appearances are deceiving. Abandoned by her fairy mother at her human father’s doorstep at birth, Moriah struggles to find meaning in her life as terrible tragedy befalls her village. Even more, Moriah finds out her best friend Gwen has gone missing. Seeking the wisdom of her grandmother, a Romani seer, a tarot card reading tells what happened to Gwen. The cards do not lie, and they reveal that to obtain enough power to find her friend, Moriah must first drink from the fabled Cauldron of Cerridwen—an artifact created long ago by a sorceress of great power. Moriah gathers the magic her grandmother taught her and sets out into the Banshee Forest. She finds her way into the land of the Fey through a legendary crystalline gate but soon finds that she is not the only one seeking the cauldron. Mav, Queen of the Fairies, seeks it too. Despite being hampered by monsters, mayhem, and unseen magical forces, Moriah is driven to save her friend, even if it means outsmarting a queen.

The Norman Kingdom of Sicily
This book is an introductory account of the kingdom of Sicily established in 1130 by Roger II, a 'Norman' king, and ruled by Roger, his own son and grandsons until 1194 when the kingdom was conquered by his son-in-law, Henry VI of Hohenstaufen. The period covered does, however, extend from Charles of Anjou, a period roughly as long and as coherent as the 'Norman' monarchy of England between 1066 and 1204. Roger II's difficulties in creating an enduring kingdom needed continuous military effort. Even when these efforts were no longer required, the monarchy had still to learn how to function in lands where traditions of local government were strong. Yet when the monarchy itself faltered, the k...
Border Thinking on the Edges of the West
Drawing on scholarly and life experience on, and over, the historically posited borders between "West" and "East," the work identifies, interrogates, and challenges a particular, enduring, violent inheritance – what it means to cross over a border – from the classical origins of Western political thought. The study has two parts. The first is an effort to work within the Western tradition to demonstrate its foundational and enduring, violent conception of crossing over borders. The second is a creative effort to explore and encourage a fundamentally different outlook towards borders and what it means to be on, at, or over them. The underlying social theoretical disposition of the work is...
