Book Description

On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City burst into flames. The factory was crowded. The doors were locked to ensure workers stay inside. One hundred forty-six people—mostly women—perished; it was one of the most lethal workplace fires in American history until September 11, 2001. But the story of the fire is not the story of one accidental moment in time. It is a story of immigration and hard work to make it in a new country, as Italians and Jews and others traveled to America to find a better life. It is the story of poor working conditions and greedy bosses, as garment workers discovered the endless sacrifices required to make ends meet. It is the story of unimaginable, but avoidable, disaster. And it the story of the unquenchable pride and activism of fearless immigrants and women who stood up to business, got America on their side, and finally changed working conditions for our entire nation, initiating radical new laws we take for granted today. With Flesh and Blood So Cheap, Albert Marrin has crafted a gripping, nuanced, and poignant account of one of America's defining tragedies.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes book two of an “action-packed, enchantingly fun” (Booklist) spin-off series, as an eccentric master of rare magic solves a supernatural mystery Down Under! There’s only one Al MacBharrais: Though other Scotsmen may have dramatic mustaches and a taste for fancy cocktails, Al also has a unique talent. He’s a master of ink and sigil magic. In his gifted hands, paper and pen can work wondrous spells. But Al isn’t quite alone: He is part of a global network of sigil agents who use their powers to protect the world from mischievous gods and strange monsters. So when a fellow agent disappears under sinister circumstances in Australia, Al leaves behind the cozy pubs and cafes of Glasgow and travels to the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria to solve the mystery. The trail to his colleague begins to pile up with bodies at alarming speed, so Al is grateful his friends have come to help—especially Nadia, his accountant who moonlights as a pit fighter. Together with a whisky-loving hobgoblin known as Buck Foi and the ancient Druid Atticus O’Sullivan, along with his dogs, Oberon and Starbuck, Al and Nadia will face down the wildest wonders Australia—and the supernatural world—can throw at them, and confront a legendary monster not seen in centuries.

WOLF WILD AND EMBER ROSE ARE POLAR OPPOSITES, BUT WHEN THE TWO OF THEM GET TOGETHER IT'S ENOUGH TO START A FIRE.WOLF: I'm not looking for anything serious in my life. I have a career, a shop to run, and a woman for anything other than a good time doesn't fit into my plans. But then I meet her. Ember Rose is exactly the kind of woman that I would normally charm the panties off of and then send on her way after I've had her screaming my name all night. A win-win, right? So why am I wanting something more than that? Why am I wanting to put ink on her skin and then never let her go? EMBER:Men are a dime a dozen with you co-own and work in a bar in this city. And men like Wolf Wild are the kind of men that I should avoid. But we can't stop running into each other. Turns out he's my neighbor, and he owns the tattoo shop where I'm getting my first ever ink done. And did I mention the chemistry between us is enough to have my panties bursting in to flames at the sight of him? A man like Wolf is what I least expected to happen in my life right now. But I'm not the only one doubting our budding relationship. People don't think that the maid's daughter should look above her station and they're going to do whatever they can to pull us apart. Are we going to go up in flames before we even get started?Fire & Ink contains strong language, hot and steamy sexual scenes including spanking, and some discussions of past trauma that may be a trigger for some readers.
