Book Description

GREAT. I've somehow found myself tangled up with a siren, a mermaid, and a homicidal wicked witch who once tried to strangle me to death. Way to go, Amber! Amber Sand, legendary matchmaker, couldn't be more surprised when her archnemesis, Ivy, asks for her help. Ivy's sister, Iris, is getting married, and Ivy wants to prove her sister is making a huge mistake. But as Amber looks into Iris's eyes, there doesn't seem to be a problem -- Iris has clearly found her match. It seems happily-ever-after is in the cards, but when Iris seeks out a dangerous, life-altering spell, it's up to Amber and Ivy to set aside their rivalry and save the day. As Iris puts everything on the line for love, Amber continues to wrestle with her own romantic future. Her boyfriend, Charlie, is still destined for another, and no matter how hard she clings to him, fear over their inevitable breakup shakes her belief system to the core. Because the Fates are never wrong-right?

Book Description

Amber Sand is not a witch. The Sand family magical gene somehow leapfrogged over her. But she did get one highly specific bewitching talent: she can see true love. As a matchmaker, Amber's pretty far down the sorcery food chain (even birthday party magicians rank higher), but after five seconds of eye contact, she can envision anyone's soul mate. Amber works at her mother's magic shop -- Windy City Magic -- in downtown Chicago, and she's confident she's seen every kind of happy ending there is: except for one--her own. (The Fates are tricky jerks that way.) So when Charlie Blitzman, the mayor's son and most-desired boy in school, comes to her for help finding his father's missing girlfriend, she's distressed to find herself falling for him. Because while she can't see her own match, she can see his -- and it's not Amber. How can she, an honest peddler of true love, pursue a boy she knows full well isn't her match? The Best Kind of Magic is set in urban Chicago and will appeal to readers who long for magic in the real world. With a sharp-witted and sassy heroine, a quirky cast of mystical beings, and a heady dose of adventure, this novel will have you laughing out loud and questioning your belief in happy endings.

Book Description

Nature's Magic presents a bold vision of the evolutionary process from the Big Bang to the 21st century. Synergy of various kinds is not only a ubiquitous aspect of the natural world but it has also been a wellspring of creativity and the 'driver' of the broad evolutionary trend toward increased complexity, in nature and human societies alike. But in contrast with the many theories of emergence or complexity that rely on some underlying force or 'law', the 'Synergism Hypothesis', as Peter Corning calls it, is in essence an economic theory of biological complexity; it is fully consistent with mainstream evolutionary biology. Corning refers to it as Holistic Darwinism. Among the many important insights that are provided by this new paradigm, Corning presents a scenario in which the human species invented itself; synergistic, behavioral and technological innovations were the 'pacemakers' of our biological evolution. Synergy has also been the key to the evolution of complex modern societies, he concludes.

Book Description

The Seven Magics Academy is a school for the supernatural, and only admits a select few--including Snow White. Because fairytales are real, but before the happily ever after, there will be blood. Snow has become her worst nightmare--a blood sucking vampire. But that's the least of her problems. Her seven extraordinarily hot neighbors are throwing her a sixteenth birthday masquerade and she'll have to wear a dress. Despite that, Snow enjoys herself until the leader of the vampire hunters arrives, determined to slay her. Before he can succeed, Snow is whisked to the time of the original vampires--when Silindra was queen and supernatural creatures freely roamed the earth. Snow knows most of the story, having learned the basics during her training at the academy, but living it is a whole other story. Snow finds herself in the middle of a war between the original vampire sisters and before she can return to her time, she'll have to find the courage to defeat the most malevolent of all the supernaturals or wind up like Silindra--dead. _____ Seven Magics Academy Blood and Snow Fate and Magic Queen of the Vampires Royal Witch Deadly Witch Vampire LIes Vampire Secrets Vampire Nights Vampire Prey Vampire Magics A Beauty so Beastly A Beauty so Deadly A Beauty so Completely Alice in Demonland Alice Fights Demonland Alice Takes Demonland Alice Ignites Demonland Asha's Kisses Asha's Curse Asha Ever After
