A Hawk in the Sun brilliantly shows the passion of a true scientist. The research was of the nesting and other habits of the ferruginous hawk-an extremely shy and difficult-to-study bird that is the largest hawk in North America. The reader will be emotionally involved from the fight between a pair of hawks and a coyote through the author's description of Penelope, the stay-at-home mom, to the poignant death of a hawk chick.

Hell Hath No Fury… It all started the day the cyclone touched down in Hawk’s Hollow, just a few days before the annual rodeo and cross-country race. Unbeknownst to the four women caught in the twister, a dark destiny had befallen them. Willow gains the ability to create chaos, Penelope causes illness if she loses her temper, Felicity can drain a person to within an inch of their life, and Dynah can summon the dead. It’s hard enough for a woman to navigate society in the 1800s, let alone in a land of outlaws and cutthroats. Add in angels, demons, and enough raw magic to blow Colorado off the map, and you’ve got a recipe for the end of the world. Because a woman’s rage is just a fuse waiting to be lit, and once that day comes, the Apocalypse is nigh. *** Good Omens meets Westworld with a feminist twist. This fantasy Western by bestselling author A.A. Chamberlynn will also appeal to fans of Wynonna Earp. Chock-full of kickass women, cowboys, angels, and demons, this supernatural thriller and historical fantasy will take you on a wild ride. Saddle up! WANT MORE FOUR HORSEWOMEN?

Great, this is your series then. If you don't enjoy complex stories of women in patriarchal societies navigating different cross sections of identity, sex, and race...well, I'm afraid I can't help you there, and neither can Chamberlynn.” Dark and Silly Book Reviews “I loved this book! 5 full and shiny stars.” Archaeolibrarian “If you like: - atmospheric wild west settings - strong, complicated women as main characters - extremely cool plots Then you should read this book right away.” Amazon Reviewer “This is a fast paced, well written, page turning thrill ride with twists/turns that keeps you glued to the pages until the end. Looking forward to the next book to see what the author has in store for these characters. SO SO GOOD!!” Goodreads Reviewer “A.A. Chamberlynn’s narrative skills are awesome, the plot flows through the pages taking the reader into a wild ride that blends action, character description, mythology and social critique into a very interesting, extremely entertaining story.” Goodreads Reviewer “Wow! This was amazing.” Goodreads Reviewer “This is a fantastic beginning to this fantasy western series. I've always loved weird westerns, and this one is a great twist on traditional retellings of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse stories.” Goodreads Reviewer “So many books nowadays seem to have the same elements when creating an apocalyptic world. A.A. Chamberlynn has created something new, something interesting. She always writes strong female characters, but these ladies, well, I love the character development.” Amazon Reviewer Keywords: Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse, feminist retellings, fantasy western, historical fantasy, horses, cowboys, angels and demons, western, romantic elements, strong heroine, paranormal ebook, contemporary fantasy ebook, top fantasy reads, top mythology reads, top ebooks in fantasy, top ebooks in mythology, contemporary fantasy, fantasy books

In the midst of an international crisis, Heidi Milligan, a beautiful, brilliant American naval commander, accidentally discovers an obscure reference to the long-buried North American Treaty, a precedent-shattering secret pact between the United States and Great Britain. The President believes that the treaty offers the single shot at salvation for an energy-starved, economically devastated nation, but the only two copies plummeted into the watery depths of the Atlantic in twin disasters long ago. The original document must be found—and the one American who can do the job is Dirk Pitt. But in London, a daring counterplot is being orchestrated to see that the treaty is never implemented. Brian Shaw, a master spy who has often worked hand in hand with American agents, now confronts his most challenging command. Pitt’s mission: Raise the North American Treaty. Shaw’s mission: Stop Pitt. Praise for Night Probe! and the Dirk Pitt® novels “A rich tale . . . an absorbing, carefully told mystery with plenty of surprises.”—Los Angeles Times “Dirk Pitt is a combination James Bond and Jacques Cousteau.”—New York Daily News

This work is designed as a supplement to the Adventures of Telemachus. It treats of the conduct and sufferings of Ulysses, the father of Telemachus. The picture which it exhibits is that of a brave man struggling with adversity; by a wise use of events, and with an inimitable presence of mind under difficulties, forcing out a way for himself through the severest trials to which human life can be exposed; with enemies natural and preternatural surrounding him on all sides. The agents in this tale, besides men and women, are giants, enchanters, sirens: things which denote external force or internal temptations, the twofold danger which a wise fortitude must expect to encounter in its course through this world. The fictions contained in it will be found to comprehend some of the most admired inventions of Grecian mythology.The groundwork of the story is as old as the Odyssey, but the moral and the coloring are comparatively modern. By avoiding the prolixity which marks the speeches and the descriptions in Homer, I have gained a rapidity to the narration which I hope will make it more attractive and give it more the air of a romance to young readers, though I am sensible that by the curtailment I have sacrificed in many places the manners to the passion, the subordinate characteristics to the essential interest of the story. The attempt is not to be considered as seeking a comparison with any of the direct translations of the Odyssey, either in prose or verse, though if I were to state the obligations which I have had to one obsolete version, [Footnote: The translation of Homer by Chapman in the reign of James I.] I should run the hazard of depriving myself of the very slender degree of reputation which I could hope to acquire from a trifle like the present undertaking.
