The King of Celeraan
There is nothing really remarkable about Chris. He's an unhappily married man, who secretly yearns for his carefree past. To relive the days he spent locked away in his bedroom, playing a video game where he ruled over Celeraan - a fantasy realm teeming with ancient lore and magic, good and evil, and where battles are won with swords and bravery. Still, he knows that the game is a thing of the past and that he has to focus on reality now. The odd trio waiting outside his work, however, has a different idea. Chris finds himself dragged, kicking and screaming, back into a land that has descended into chaos, and forced onto a throne that he'd long since abandoned. With a seemingly invincible army marching on the kingdom, the fate of Celeraan once again rests on Chris's shoulders. But this time, if he fails, it won't just be game over.
Dating a Demon
As it turns out, Amanda’s long-time pen pal isn’t just devilishly handsome – he’s an actual demon and the new King of Hell, and he has a proposal for her: Marry him and rule by his side. Considering his nature, Amanda is reluctant to become his eternal bride. Instead, she agrees to go on a date. They have, after all, been trading letters of hopes and dreams for years, and she’s always had a bit of a crush on him. But on top of all the troubles that come with dating a demon, someone has decided to interfere. Someone who is more than willing to challenge the new king for the crown, jeopardize the millennia-long peace between Heaven and Hell, and straight up sabotage Amanda’s date. That someone is Lucifer. *** With characters and concepts derived from Dante’s Inferno and the Book of Revelation, Dating a Demon weaves mythology and lore into an epic fantasy tale of love and deceit, where archangels and demon lords battle for dominion over Heaven, Hell, and everything in between.

Why Veganism Matters
Most people care about animals, but only a tiny fraction are vegan. The rest often think of veganism as an extreme position. They certainly do not believe that they have a moral obligation to become vegan. Gary L. Francione—the leading and most provocative scholar of animal rights theory and law—demonstrates that veganism is a moral imperative and a matter of justice. He shows that there is a contradiction in thinking that animals matter morally if one is also not vegan, and he explains why this belief should logically lead all who hold it to veganism. Francione dismantles the conventional wisdom that it is acceptable to use and kill animals as long as we do so “humanely.” He argues ...
