An Immortal Warrior: one given the power to make right what once went wrong … in a time not his own. 13th Century, Welsh Marches Lord Reynald de Mortimer was once the ruler of the borderlands, powerful and feared. Known as ‘the Ghost’ because of his white-blond hair and pale grey eyes, the reason for his death was a mystery. Why didn’t he keep his word that fateful day? Ever since then he has been blamed for the chaos that followed his passing. Present day, Reynald’s Castle … Amy Fairweather is currently a guest at Reynald’s castle in Wales—now a posh hotel—because her unscrupulous brother needs a favour. Then she meets Reynald, awoken from his sleep by the Sorceress, ruler of the between-worlds. Amy finds herself caught up in the ensuing magic and mayhem, and suddenly all of her worldly experience counts for nothing. She is falling in love with a man who was born seven hundred years ago. And to have any chance of a future together, Amy and Reynald must fight the threatening shadows from his past. Book 3 in the Immortal Warriors series, following Return of the Highlander and Passions of the Ghost. Reviews "5 stars - PASSIONS OF THE GHOST is one of the most magical paranormals I have read this year. Ms. Mackenzie pens an alluring tale that drew this reader in from the very first page. I did not put this charming tale down until the last word was read. I laughed at the witty bantering and cried when two lovely people find a rare love that makes them complete. Amy is a lost soul looking to get away from the life she has led. Reynald is another lost soul trying to make his past mistakes right again. I adore both of these very unusual characters. Making the story even more complete are the secondary characters that are vibrant and sassy. Ms. Mackenzie pens a plot that is thick and spell-binding. If you are looking for a tale that will leave you wholly satisfied and all warm and fuzzy inside, then I highly recommend PASSIONS OF THE GHOST. I will be heading to the bookstore to gobble up all of Ms. Mackenzies books." RomanceJunkies 2006

Book Description
Finally comes the ultimate book for all those seeking to know more about the philosophy behind The Matrix and its sequels. Suppose that this world is not what it seems, and that humanity is actually just a food source supplementing a reign of machines. Welcome to the premise behind the world of The Matrix: the movie phenomenon and massive box-office series that has also produced some of film's most intelligent and thoughtful moments in the last ten years. In the Matrix movies, "reality" is just a dreamscape, a representation that six billion points of view agree to agree is "real." So if the only reality we know is a cunning and elaborate façade, what then does that signify for us? Matrix Warrior gives us the means to understand this premise and its implications on our knowledge of self and place. Combining an in-depth examination of the film with philosophical inquiry and the teachings of Castandeda, Jake Horsley has produced in Matrix Warrior a profound yet witty analysis-and all readers need to get "unplugged." "This accessible, entertaining book will be an enjoyable companion for those who want to dig deeper into the movies' rich universe."- Booklist
