Book Description

Heliogabalus and Elagabalus are names given since late antiquity to the mythical or legendary avatar of Varius Avitus Bassianus. Varius was Roman emperor AD 218–222, ruling as Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. He was simultaneously High Priest of the Syrian sun god Elagabal. Heliogabalus and Elagabalus, names derived from Elagabal, are often used as misnomers for Varius himself, but more properly designate his avatar, who is far better known than Varius. The Varian avatar, under these and other names, survives and thrives in historiography, as well as in more avowedly creative literature, music, dance, the visual arts, and popular culture. This book, the third in Varian Studies, is partly based on the Varian Symposium, held in Cambridge in 2005. It contains studies of the historical Varius, of some of his courtiers, of his god Elagabal, and of his avatar, Heliogabalus or Elagabalus.

Book Description

Young author Aki Fujino appeared poised to making it big in the world of publishing. Her debut title UTSUBORA was being pitched about to a number of editors and at least one person felt it was set to propel her into stardom. However, before she could ever have her book published, the young woman was found dead. Some believe it was a suicide, but those close to her feel there is something more sinister involved in this young talent's death. Aki's death has become something straight out of a mystery. Much like the story behind UTSUBORA, there is something more to Aki, Sakura and their relationship with an author named Mizorogi than meets the eye. And it is possible that the only way to solve this mystery may be to uncover all their secrets.

Book Description

The Lychee Liqueur Cocktail Recipe Book Inspired by the refreshing, tantalizing flavors that tingle and awaken the taste buds with every sip. Traveling throughout Australia and Papua New Guinea during the summer of 2012, I discovered a delightful new fruit nut, which to my husband, Gary Pickus was very familiar. After, Gary had acquired employment to the down under area, I was fortunate enough to be able to join him. Therefore, during his R&Rs, we were able to have some adventures. Lychee Liqueur is very popular in many of the different types of cocktails served in the South Pacific. We grew so fond of the flavor, that we specially ordered in cases of it, so it would be readily available for when we want to take a trip back to the South Pacific, very refreshing, relaxing, and remotely cool. Can you see the sunset and hear the crisp, slapping of the ocean waves?
