As a cop, she was trained to take control of every situation. As a woman, she couldn’t control her runaway heart. Fleeing her painful past, Christina Reynolds hopes to find peace by moving to an isolated house in rural Maine. But the solitude she sought so desperately is soon disturbed by suspicious noises, crank calls, and signs of trespassing. When the local police write the incidents off as a product of an overactive female imagination, the distraught Christina turns to Forest Ranger Miki Jamieson for help. The first woman in her agency to make sergeant, Miki is unmatched when it comes to tracking poachers and dealing with the dangers of life in the wilderness. But dangers of the heart are another matter, for beneath Miki’s six-foot tall, rugged exterior is a shy, sensitive woman who has opened up to few people—and trusts even fewer. As the threats escalate, the frightened Christina seeks the safe refuge of Miki’s arms. But does Christina only need her as a protector… or want her as a lover?

The hate-seekers want Earth all for themselves and humans are willing to kill each other to make sure they get it. With terror and splendor comes the first novel in the haunting Shadow People Trilogy. Fans of hardcore horror, paranormal romance, arcane mysticism, or zombie blasting survivalism will not be disappointed with this timeless tale of light vs. darkness. A dark and potent apparition born of human fear spawns more of its kind from the souls of those it massacres. Its newborn shadow specters impulsively possess humans, mutating them into savage, murdering zombies. The story alternates between three individuals in cities far removed and in lives most dissimilar. As each of them comes face to face with the world's ever-increasing shadow and zombie population, they seek physically and spiritually to find each other. For collectively, if they can find the strength and the will to survive, they share one destiny. Grace, 19, her captivating and exquisite beauty is held in sharp contrast to her disfigurement. She clings to the hope of the reality of a mystical man who once came to her during her time of fire and dreams and promised to return for her. However, her time in this world may not be long endured. Lily, a sightless, precognitive 5 year old, finds herself alone, lost, and hunted by unspeakable terror in a cold and forbidding forest. Her only hope of surviving even a few more hours is Grace who is two hundred miles away and has yet to realize the little girl is real. Aeden, 397, with an air of majesty and the countenance of a rock star is eternally youthful, and moves at the speed of thought. He alone carries the ability to destroy the shadows at will and his method is so simplistic it is startling. With power beyond imagining, Aeden, in our real world, is possible. WARNING: This book contains strong horror violence and gore, some strong language, and some intense situations involving children and dogs.

How to sound like you're from here, no matter where you are in America "Simultaneously full of witty asides and linguistic erudition, Wicked Good Words is one of those rare books that you will read too fast and will find yourself wishing you could read for the first time all over again." -Ammon Shea, author of Reading the OED "As someone who grew up in the land of wicked pissa Sox games, what a delight it was to read about alligator pears, sundogs, piggling, sad cakes, doodinkus, jacklegs, and so many other American regionalisms." -David Wolman, author of Righting the Mother Tongue Wicked Good Words is a collection of words and phrases from places across the United States. Organized by region and peppered with engaging sidebars, it's a uniquely American road trip. You'll discover: *In Ohio, that titillating talk about a four-way is all about a type of chili. *When you rush the growler in Appalachia, you're filling your lunch pail with beer. *A frog strangler in the South will send you running for cover: it's a heavy rain. *In Louisiana and Texas, someone caught pirooting is nosing around. *In the Northwest, something that's spendy is too expensive. *A skeeter hawk, darning needle, snake feeder, spindle, ear sewer, needle, snake doctor, and stinger all refer to the same thing: a mosquito, depending on where you get attacked.

They ride at dawn to ensure early morning commuters are late for work, pay in change at the grocery store to hold up the line, and attempt to cross busy intersections to scare the daylights out of people. Who are these horrible monsters? They are the vampires of Silverdale, a progressive town where Lycans, Vampires, Witches, and Ghouls have managed to live in harmony. Agnes is a member of the vampire cult, The Streetwalkers, which received its name when streets were invented. Due to the term “streetwalker” changing in meaning over time, Agnes advocates for a name change. When The Tall Order of Keep Off the Grass rejects her proposal, Agnes takes to the streets in protest, but her efforts are upended by the discovery of a murdered witch. Worried that the crime may fracture the peace that has been brokered between the factions, Agnes sets off with her trusty side-kick Edna, a werewolf, and a cat, to solve the mystery and protect their beloved LVWG community.

With their intimate settings, subdued action and likeable characters, cozy mysteries are rarely seen as anything more than light entertainment. The cozy, a subgenre of crime fiction, has been historically misunderstood and often overlooked as the subject of serious study. This anthology brings together a groundbreaking collection of essays that examine the cozy mystery from a range of critical viewpoints. The authors engage with the standard classification of a cozy, the characters who appear in its pages, the environment where the crime occurs and how these elements reveal the cozy story's complexity in surprising ways. Essays analyze cozy mysteries to argue that Agatha Christie is actually not a cozy writer; that Columbo fits the mold of the cozy detective; and that the stories' portrayals of settings like the quaint English village reveal a more complicated society than meets the eye.
