The Dragon's Witch
She knows she's being hunted, but she has no idea the hunter is the man she loves. Natasha Dubinkina is an average, happy-go-lucky Gaia witch. She's inspired, positive... and dying. In fact, there only seems to be one way to save herself: by finding an elusive artifact lost to time. There's another threat. As a Gaia witch, she knows that a dragon is in town, hunting her down. Fate throws her a bone, a bone that comes in the form of handsome, dashing Felix Dornan. He seems like everything she's ever wanted. He's kind, considerate, protective, and the way he looks at her takes her breath away.The only problem? Felix is the dragon, and Natasha is his target. With neither of the star-crossed lovers knowing the other's terrible secret, they try to keep up the lie to protect the other from what they consider to be a monster. But what will happen when the truth comes out? Will their relationship survive, or will it end in tears, or worse? Content Warning: Explicit love scenes and lots of sexy shifters. Intended for 18+ audiences.
Reeling
“The deep relevance and the nuanced portrayal of the myriad effects of abuse on [the characters] lives are skillfully done. Layered and disquieting.” —Kirkus Reviews Award-winning author Lola Lafon continues her exploration of the psyches of young girls–their fragility, their resilience. Fontenay, a Parisian suburb, 1984. Cléo is twelve when her parents prod her into taking ballet classes. She drops out after a long year of feeling lost, not classy nor graceful enough, and undoubtedly not as rich as the other kids. By chance, she signs up for Modern Jazz class at a MJC–a state funded organization whose mission is to provide access to art and culture to all children. Modern Jazz is...
Dreaming and the Self
Drawing upon original fieldwork, cultural theory, and psychological research, Dreaming and the Self offers new approaches to the self—particularly to subjectivity, identity, and emotion. Through an investigation of dreams in various cultures, the contributors explore how people as subjects actually experience cultural life, how they forge identities out of their cultural and historical experiences, how the cultural and historical worlds in which they live shape even their bodily habits and responses, and how the person as agent responds to and imaginatively recreates his or her culture. These essays demonstrate that dreams reflect tellingly on topics of great currency in anthropology, such as how people personally manage postcolonialism, transnationalism, and migration. Actual dreams are examined, including dreams of Samoan young people about race; of a Haitian priestess about vodou deities; of a Pakistani about spiritual teachers; of psychoanalytic clients in Los Angeles and San Diego about cars, witches, and sex; and of a young Balinese mother about a neglected dog.
Revenge Secrets
It was supposed to be a fake relationship to get revenge. Now, it looks like I'm the one getting hurt. Olivia Cassidy is trouble-it was obvious the first time I met her. She's a thorn in my side. I bought a company and fired most of the staff-including Olivia. What I didn't expect was that Olivia would write a scathing op-ed attacking me. I'm Carson Harrison-no one talks about me like that and gets away with it. I want to hurt her as much as she hurt me. If I can make her fall in love with me, I can break her heart the same way she shattered my reputation. The problem is that the more time I spend with her, the more my feelings become real. But I started this fake relationship with bad intentions. There's no way to take that back. It's only a matter of time before everything implodes. 18+

Gabriel Richard Ellis
Biography of Gabriel Richard Ellis (1845-1925), who was born at Cottage Hill near Mobile, Alabama, began serving in the Confederate Army in 1861 (spending part of 1864 and 1865 in federal prison camps--chiefly in Elmira, New York), married twice, and became an active Methodist minister living chiefly in Seminary, Mississippi, but handling a circuit that extended throughout much of Mississippi and Louisiana. Includes his Civil War letters (and history), and also his diary of a trip to the Holy Land in 1904. Gabriel was a great-grandson of William Ellis, who immigrated from Wales to Virginia in the mid-or-late 1700s. Descendants lived in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and elsewhere.
The Music and the Mirror
Anna is the member of an elite ballet company. She must face down jealousy, sabotage and injury, not to mention navigate the circus of friends and lovers within the company. Anna discovers that she and the daring, beautiful Victoria have a lot more than a talent for ballet in common, and that not every thrilling dance can be found on stage.
Taryn Simon
Was wir wahrnehmen, nehmen wir auch für wahr. Keinem Organ wird hierbei mehr Evidenz zugesprochen als dem Auge. Dabei ist das Sehen keineswegs unvoreingenommen. Perspektive, Wissen und Intuition prägen die Visualität. Was Realität ist und was Einbildung lässt sich hier kaum noch auseinanderhalten. Eindrücklicher Beleg hierfür ist Taryn Simons neue Fotoserie The Innocents. Zu sehen sind Menschen an unterschiedlichen Orten, die eint, irrtümlich anhand von Zeugenaussagen und Fotografien für Gewaltverbrechen verurteilt und inhaftiert worden zu sein. Wenn sie für die Aufnahmen nun an die Orte ihrer Verhaftung, des Verbrechens, der falschen Bezichtigung oder ihres Alibis zurückkehren, dann werden sie selbst Zeugen. An Kreuzungen, an denen Realität zu Fiktion und Einbildung zu Wahrheit erklärt wurde, blicken sie fragend in die Weite oder in die Kamera, um der lebende Beweis für die vermeintliche Objektivität und die Ambivalenz der Sinne zu sein.
