Frontiers of Femininity
British explorer and professional travel writer Isabella Bird is, to the modern eye, a study in contradictions. One of the premier mountaineers and world explorers of her generation, she was, in 1892, the first woman elected to London’s Royal Geographic Society. And yet Bird’s books on her travels are filled with depictions of herself and other women that reinforce the “properly feminine” domestic and behavioral codes of her day. In this fascinating and highly original collection of essays, Karen Morin explores the self-expression of travel writers like Bird by giving geographic context to their work. With a rare degree of clarity the author examines relationships among nineteenth-ce...
Steel Rose
Rose fought for freedom...but now her fate is in the hands of her enemy. The commander of the East Wind Dominion is a terrifying man. He leads an army of automatons. He can control lightning itself. And now, Rose Calder is his prisoner of war. All Rose has ever known is fighting. When the invading forces of the East Wind Dominion steals her friends, her family, and her home, she takes to the skies to battle for her freedom. For hope. When the war comes to a sudden end at the hands of commander Viktor Lang, she is certain she is about to die. When he discovers her impossible secret, she becomes a mystery he is desperate to solve, and that may be worse. But something about him draws her closer, no matter how wrong it may seem. The war may be over, but now she stands to lose much, much more. Her heart. _____________ Authors Note: This story contains sexual scenes that involve power exchange and some BDSM. "Steel Rose" is what I consider to be a villain romance. My male characters are often not very kind or gentle. This story has a HEA, but it may be a tough ride getting there. This story has mature themes and content.

Following Isabella
A world traveler, Isabella Bird recorded her 1873 visit to Colorado Territory in her classic travel narrative, A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains. This work inspired Robert Root’s own discovery of Colorado’s Front Range following his move from the flatlands of Michigan. In this elegantly written book, Root retraces Bird’s three-month journey, seeking to understand what Colorado meant to her—and what it would come to mean for him. Following Isabella is a work of intersecting histories. Root interweaves an overview of Bird’s life and work with regional history, nature writing, and his own travels to produce a uniquely informative and entertaining narrative. He probes Bird’s sel...
Till Death Do Us Part, Dad
Preamble A middle class family is dysfunctionally doomed due to perpetuated acts of incest between an insidious, impulsive, intimidating, and threatening father, and the youngest of his offspring. This statutory crime of copulation between both parties, as most modern-day cultures would deem, is perpetrated simply because the regnant father is nonchalant to the fact that incestuous acts involving a very young and duressed victim leaves an irreversible, painfully emotional scar in the life of the victim. In this story, the victim and the father suffer the consequences of their acts, while the rest of the family shares the emotional pain of guilt and more.
Art and Womanhood in Fin-de-Siecle Writing
