From the Bram Stoker Award–winning author who “pretty much invented the punk vampire thing”: A vampire vigilante is in Deadtown to destroy her own (Seconds Magazine). As the convenience store doors close behind him, DeShawn can already hear the sirens. He sprints down the street, clutching his meager haul, but the police are gaining on him. He turns the corner onto a cobblestoned alley and the sirens stop. The police have turned back, and for a moment, DeShawn feels lucky. It doesn’t last. A crawling man leaps up from the shadows, wraps his arms around DeShawn’s neck, and feeds on his blood. Welcome to Deadtown. A city within a city where the undead roam free, Deadtown is dangerous for humans and vampires alike. As a gang war rages between the old guard and the new, Deadtown’s innocents are caught in the crossfire. Only Sonja Blue can save them. A vampire with a sense of justice, she will play both ends against the middle to save Deadtown—or else burn it to the ground.

Twelve Urns and a Dozen Roses is a romantic mystery. However, it is much more than this. There is a powerful and timeless love at the heart of the story. There is love between a father and daughter, though long separated and tested to its core. But there is an overarching central mystery woven throughout the story about why the father, Bill Burkhead, disappeared when his cherished daughter, Adelaide, was only seventeen. Twenty-five years later, Adelaide is summoned by a law office to assume duties as executor of an estate. To her surprise, she is executor of her father's estate, consisting of twelve urns of his ashes. Thus begins her quest to follow the clues her dad left for her and discover his ultimate intent in spreading his ashes. As she follows his twelve envelopes of cryptic instructions, a new world opens to her in the America she didn't know existed. Behind the mask of beautiful country and interesting places hides three mysteries that Adelaide learns of along the way. One is an unknown woman. A host of characters flow in and out of her journey and provide pieces of the puzzle while also adding to the intrigue. The suspense slowly builds as the roads fade away behind her. What awaits her when she arrives at the twelfth urn? Will it just be the culmination of a host of human frailties, of mistakes and efforts to right them? Will it bring something good to her life, a sense of meaningless gloom, or will the journey result in nothing more than an end? The only way Adelaide will know if her time and efforts were worth it is by pushing through to the twelfth urn.
Quirky? You can say that again. Look at it. His mouth is so small there is only just enough room to poke in one pea at a time. He can't talk, he can't stick out his tongue & he can't eat. You'll be speechless
Presents a beautifully illustrated field guide to one hundred varieties of Old Roses--hardy, fragrant, versatile roses introduced prior to 1901--including Gallicas, Damasks, Portland, Bourbons, and Albas, and offers detailed descriptions of such essentials as selection, planting and cultivation, pruning, disease control, and more. Original.
Once upon a time—before the 1860s—people loved old roses like "Pearl of Gold," "Marchionesse of Lorne," or "Autumn Damask." Then along came the hybrid tea roses, which were easier to arrange, more dramatic, and longer-blooming, and the old roses were all but forgotten. Now the lovely, subtle-hued, richly perfumed old roses are making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of a stubborn band of eccentric characters who rescued them from back alleys, ramshackle cottages, and overgrown graveyards across the country. Thomas Christopher tells us the fascinating stories of the old roses—how they were created and made their way to America—and the unforgettable people who "rustle" them from abandoned lots and secret gardens today, revelling in the mystery of an "unknown yellow."
"Growing Roses Organically" Not many gardeners can resist the beauty of a rose-- a flower so divine and graceful in appearance and, in many cases, so wonderfully fragrant that it evokes thoughts of love and romance at first encounter.
