Aysel's Arrow


Book Description

Aysel Valencia works at a Chicago fertility clinic and is a straight shooter not only with her arrows at the archery range but also with her no-nonsense personality. The Latina just turned 29 and could have never predicted how she would spend her birthday. Of all places, amid the geeks and freaks attending an anime festival, she has an intense sexual encounter with Courtney Kelly, a man she'd just met. But Courtney won't let it end with just a one-night stand. A journalist, Courtney soon finds a place in Aysel's heart and also uncovers a news story from Aysel's past that could skyrocket his career. When Aysel opens herself up to Courtney, she has the chance to take aim at other life questions she's been avoiding. On the surface there's her static career, relationships and ambitions, and underneath there's the emotional turmoil of her past that's frozen her in place. When Aysel's long-gone brother, Cassio, returns shortly after she meets Courtney, her loyalty to her family threatens to ruin her humble existence and budding relationship. Will Aysel be able to figure out what she's doing wrong, or will she lose her first real chance at happiness? Read Aysel's Arrow - the journey will make you laugh, surprise and move you.

A Military History of the Mediterranean Sea


Book Description

The Mediterranean has always attracted the imagination of modern historians as the epicentre of great political entities, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, Venetians, and Spanish. However, it seems that the sea itself was always on the margins of historical inquiry – at least, until the publication of the famous two-volume work by F. Braudel in 1949. This collection of essays aims to offer a vertical history of war in the Mediterranean Sea, from the early Middle Ages to the early modernity, putting the emphasis on the changing face of several different aspects and contexts of war over time. Contributors are Stephen Bennett, Stathis Birtachas, Cornel Bontea, Wayne H. Bowen, Lilia Campana, Raffaele D’Amato, Elina Gugliuzzo, Nikolaos Kanellopoulos, Savvas Kyriakides, Tilemachos Lounghis, Alan V. Murray, Chrysovalantis Papadamou, Jacopo Pessina, Philip Rance, Georgios Theotokis, Iason Tzouriadis, Ian Wilson, and Aysel Yildiz.
