The Loch
When award-winning photojournalist M.C. “Maggie” Warner decides to take a break from assignments in war-torn locales, she picks Balloch, Scotland on the shores of Loch Lomond to get away.

Behind The Eyes Of Dorian Gray
The gentlemen with the wicked, brown eyes, the beautiful young man, whose image had been immortalized more than two centuries before by the artist's brush, seemed much more than pigment and paint and canvas. When best-selling author Rachael Lafferty sees the painting on the auction block, the beautiful young man captures her heart and her writer's imagination. She knows she has to have the painting—it would make the Victorian townhouse she was restoring complete... More complete than she ever could have guessed, for when she brings her prize home and lovingly hangs it on the wall, Dorian Gray's trapped soul steps out of the painting and into her life. Cold. Dark. His much-deserved hell. Th...
Secret of the Muses Retold
Precious repositories of ancient wisdom? Musty relics of outmoded culture? Timeless paragons of artistic achievement? Hegemonic tools of intellectual repression? Just what are the classics, anyway, and why do (or should) we still pay so much attention to them? What is the literary canon? What is myth, and how do we use it? These are some of the questions that gave rise to John Kirby's Secret of the Muses Retold. This new study of works by five twentieth-century Italian writers investigates the abiding influence of the Greek and Roman classics, and their rich legacy in our own day. The result is not only a splendid introduction to contemporary Italian literature, but also a lucid and stimulating meditation on the insights that writers such as Umberto Eco and Italo Calvino have tapped from the wellspring of ancient tradition. Kirby's book offers an impassioned plea for the recuperation of the humanities in general, and of classical studies in particular. No expertise in Greek, Latin, Italian, or literary theory is presumed, and both traditional and postmodern perspectives are accommodated.
The Legend Of Captain St. Pierre
There is more to the legend than meets the eye. And not even the most notorious pirate could prepare for the truth. Twin sisters Igraine and Branwyn St. Pierre have been unwillingly perpetuating the legend of the infamous pirate Captain St. Pierre. Having lost their father, Benoit St. Pierre, at age sixteen, the sisters have been sailing the Spanish Main under the guidance of their guardian, Zachariah Hammond, a cruel man who has forced them to do his bidding.
Metafiction
Metafiction is one of the most distinctive features of postwar fiction, appearing in the work of novelists as varied as Eco, Borges, Martin Amis and Julian Barnes. It comprises two elements: firstly cause, the increasing interpenetration of professional literary criticism and the practice of writing; and secondly effect: an emphasis on the playing with styles and forms, resulting from an enhanced self-consciousness and awareness of the elusiveness of meaning and the limitations of the realist form. Dr Currie's volume examines first the two components of metafiction, with practical illustrations from the work of such writers as Derrida and Foucault. A final section then provides the view of metafiction as seen by metafictional writers themselves.

Postmodernism in Pieces
Postmodernism in Pieces performs a postmortem on what is perhaps the most contested paradigm in literary studies, breaking postmodernism down into its most fundamental orthodoxies and reassembles it piece by piece in light of recent theoretical developments in Actor-Network-Theory, object-oriented philosophy, new materialism, and posthumanism.
