To Woo a Warrior
It was common knowledge that Hadleigh Valhalla was a complete failure when it came to men. Too blood thirsty. Too tall at six-foot-six and without a coy bone in her too voluptuous body.

Life's Runny Eggs Turn Sunny-side Up
Looking for those sunny side up eggs in life? It doesn’t always pan out that way. Life is similar to eggs in that it can turn out so differently, depending on preparation. This story is about Elaine, her husband Richard, their daughter Mira, granddaughter Leslie and their egg-like situations. Elaine’s life is runny, sometimes totally scrambled, and at times cracked, like a hardboiled egg. Richard’s life is an omelet; it doesn’t matter what is put into it, he remains clueless. Mira was on a continuous hunt for the easy over, soft life. Once out of her shell she finally discovered life can be sunny side up. Leslie turns from poached softly, to overcooked, hard as rubber. This story starts out with Mira’s birth but pushes back time to look at the tragic life of her mother, Elaine, and the sad moments of her father Richard.

A Matter of Obscenity
A comprehensive history of censorship in modern Britain For Victorian lawmakers and judges, the question of whether a book should be allowed to circulate freely depended on whether it was sold to readers whose mental and moral capacities were in doubt, by which they meant the increasingly literate and enfranchised working classes. The law stayed this way even as society evolved. In 1960, in the obscenity trial over D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, the prosecutor asked the jury, "Is it a book that you would even wish your wife or your servants to read?" Christopher Hilliard traces the history of British censorship from the Victorians to Margaret Thatcher, exposing the tensions betwee...
Jane Austen's Cousin
Eliza de Feuillide seemed fascinating and outlandish to her cousins in rural eighteen century England. When she visited their village, her appearance was electrifying. She was an attractive, accomplished French countess with a vivacious personality who inspired their imaginations and regaled them with stories of life in London and Paris where she hobnobbed with French nobility and wore the latest fashions. One of these impressionable younger cousins would find Eliza’s stories so fascinating that she would incorporate elements of Eliza’s life into some of the most famous novels in English literature. This cousin was Jane Austen. Yet Eliza’s life was not as glamorous as Jane or her Austen cousins might have thought. She faced many tragedies in her life that wealth and social class could not protect her against. She was also forced to adapt and reexamine her priorities in a way that would dramatically change her life choices and result in a more sedate lifestyle. Read about the perseverance and courage of the real person behind several fictional characters in Jane Austen’s writings and novels and the deeper connection Eliza had to the Austen family.
