Vanessa feels she can never live up to her sister's shining reputation. But Vanessa, with her glorious red hair and fair skin, has a kind of power when she dances - she loses herself in the music, breathes different air, and the world around her turns to flames . . . Soon she attracts the attention of three men: gorgeous Zep, mysterious Justin, and the great, enigmatic choreographer Josef Zhalkovsky. When Josef asks Vanessa to dance the lead in the Firebird, she has little idea of the danger that lies ahead - and the burning forces about to be unleashed . . .

Dancing in Shadows explores the power of Indigenous performance pitted against the forces of settler colonisation. Historian Anna Haebich documents how the Nyungar people of Western Australia strategically and courageously adapted their rich performance culture to survive the catastrophe that engulfed them, and continue to generously share their culture, history, and language in theatre. In public corroborees, they performed their sovereignty to the colonists, and in community-only gatherings they danced and sang to bring forth resilience and spiritual healing. Pushed away by the colonists and denied their culture and lands, they continued to live and perform in the shadows over the years in combinations of the old and the new, including indigenised settler songs and dances. Nyungar people survived, and they now number around 40,000 people and constitute the largest Aboriginal nation in the Australian settler state. The ancient family lineages live in city suburbs and country towns, and they continue to perform to celebrate their ancestors and to strengthen community well-being by being together. Dancing in Shadows sheds light on the little-known history of Nyungar performance. [Subject: Theatre Studies, Sociology, History, Australian History, Aboriginal Studies]

This fascinating book recounts the remarkable tale of a career UN official caught in the turmoil of international and domestic politics swirling around Cambodia after the fall of the Khmer Rouge. First as a member of the UN transitional authority and then as a personal envoy to the UN secretary-general, Benny Widyono re-creates the fierce battles for power centering on King Norodom Sihanouk, the Khmer Rouge, and Prime Minister Hun Sen. He also sets the international context, arguing that great-power geopolitics throughout the Cold War and post-Cold War eras triggered and sustained a tragedy of enormous proportions in Cambodia for decades, leading to a flawed peace process and the decline of Sihanouk as a dominant political figure. Putting a human face on international operations, this book will be invaluable reading for anyone interested in Southeast Asia, the role of international peacekeeping, and the international response to genocide.

In her first books, Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered, Machaelle Small Wright wrote: "If we allowed all the knowledge from our soul level to fully flow and be totally accessible to our conscious self ... before we disciplined ourselves on how to respond to such as flow on the physical level, we would shatter. Blindly expressing limitless through limitation would be more pressure than our body could bear." In Behaving, Machaelle scratched the surface on a whole new reality. Now, in Dancing, she opens the door and invites us in. Out to discredit the "Ozzie and Harriet" School of Spirituality, Machaelle gives us extensive groundwork, supported by an actual account of her own expansion experience. She tells of her introduction to the White Brotherhood - that evolved group of souls who assist humans in their evolutionary development - in a story told through journal entries for those early years of her nature work. Reading Dancing, you feel like a bird on Machaelle's shoulder ... watching the expansion unfold.

"You are my mate, and you belong with me, by my side. You will be Luna, whether you like it or not. I will drag you there myself, if I have to." They stood, facing each other, each seething, fury building, threatening to mount to something Caia would not allow. "You really think so?" She asked, quietly. He nodded, eyes black, his canines threatening to protrude from his mouth. And her mind was made up. She took a deep breath, mentally preparing, as every part of her steeled itself for the words about to come forth. "I, Caia Alman, re-" He immediately whirled her around, clamping his hand over her mouth, but she said them into his palm, "eject you as my mate." ________4 years have passed since Caia Alman rejected Cedric Lincoln, Alpha of the Sacred Shadows pack, as her mate. Since then, she has rebuilt her life in a new city, chasing her dreams that have never, not for a second, involved being a Luna. She thought her connection to the Alpha would have died with her rejection. But, when Cedric comes into her office, she is horrified to see that the Moon Goddess has other ideas.

Mine is a story of trust, inspiration, and hope for all women. I wrote the story while going through a terrible tragedy in my life. A domestic abuse situation. Writers often find themselves inspired most by a personal experience. As you read this, you will see that my deepest feelings seem to have poured out on the pages with such clarity, that the reader (YOU) believes you are right there watching the whole thing unravel. I challenge you to “see for yourself”. It’s a great fantasy story that bursts forward with excitement, funny and thrilling adventures, and it has a pleasant conclusion, as two lonely people begin to open their hearts. First she must learn to trust her puppy (who already plays with mysterious shadow’s everyday in their home). Then she must learn to trust a stranger all over again. And then, there’s the shadows. Can TRUST find it's way back to her heart after domestic abuse?
