Zaek is losing hope after waiting centuries for rescue, but the time has finally arrived. The lost emergency beacon has fallen from orbit and gone active. All he needs to do to get off this damn planet named Earth is find it and get to the pick up location in time. The problem? The beacon comes with an addictively confounding, Earthian female who makes his mating gland swell, marking her as his true mate. Zaek hasn't been around a human who didn't run away screaming monster in a millennium, so how the hell is he supposed to convince this smart, beautiful, sarcastic female to give him the opportunity to win her heart before he loses his chance forever?Mira has always been obsessed with all things alien, but when one breaks into her lab at Area 51, first contact doesn't go how she planned. Kidnapped and running for her life with a gruff gargoyle that definitely isn't made of stone and has more than his share of quirks, Mira learns that sometimes plans are made to be thrown out the window. With a black ops team hot on their heels, determined to kill or capture them both, time is running out and their fumbling romance isn't the only thing standing in their way to happiness.
Gargoyles are not what you think... Sten's ship crashed on Earth centuries ago, and since then, he's been hiding in plain sight, awaiting rescue. But a thousand years is a long time to go without companionship, even for a long-lived alien, and the human female he's guarded since childhood has grown into an alluring woman. When a mysterious man offers to buy the "statue" in Angie's garden, Sten knows he's been discovered. The Rose Syndicate has hunted his kind for centuries, capturing and torturing his fellow Khargals in the name of science. But simply fleeing isn't an option; Angie has a secret. One he's sworn to protect. Forced to reveal himself, Sten is confronted with a new truth. Impossible as it seems, Angie is his mate. And the urge to claim her may be his undoing. STICKS AND STONES is a standalone story in the collaborative Khargals of Duras series, with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA. Enjoy the books in any order!

You not only need special equipment, but also a different kind of fitness, fueling, finesse, gear, and grit.

Rosemary is a spunky, outspoken little girl growing up in Kansas. She and her family dont have a lot of material things, but that doesnt mean Rosemary is missing out on life. She has much to enjoy on the family farm, including her dogs and the assorted farm animals she takes under her wing. In Gravel and Grit, author Rosemary Coplin Dahlberg takes us back to the Kansas farm where she grew up in the 1930s and 1940s. These were the days of radios instead of television sets, games that required imagination instead of joysticks, and party lines instead of cell phones. Homes often had the unique smell of Lava soap and Spic and Span cleanliness instead of potpourri. Dahlberg shares her memories of how she met lifes issues head on. Life lessons involving her beloved dogs, her classmates, and her neighbors are experienced and lessons learned, sometimes the hard way. World War II, a tornado, and family loss all bring changes to Rosemary and her family. But through it all, God is always present, giving Rosemary faith and a moral compass for her future.

Gravel and Grit recounts not only a rural boyhood in a period of racial hostility and class exclusion but also of simple country pleasures and strong family ties. Other approaches to writing about the South either romanticize or demonize the people and culture in which the author was reared. What makes this work different is that it reveals both the gravel (the course, unflattering, and shameful side of that era) and the grit (the remarkable will to survive). Stories are told with a backdrop of significant historical events such as the Great Depression, World War II, the Southern Labor Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and the advent of the rock and roll revolution in music—all of which led to a transformation of values. Price promotes racial harmony as well as understanding the conflicts, contradictions, and joys of living in the South. Rich in literary quotations and cultural allusions, the reader will recall memories from his or her own life. Here, in this world of sunshine and toil, these common people, both black and white, endured, survived, and prevailed. It was also here that some white citizens made one last bloody, fatal gasp to preserve the cultural curse of Jim Crow. African Americans left a legacy of fighting for their country both overseas and at home. This is a book that can change a reader, and it is certainly a book the reader will remember.
Paul Muldoon's ninth collection of poems, his first since Hay (1998), finds him working a rich vein that extends from the rivery, apple-heavy County Armagh of the 1950s, in which he was brought up, to suburban New Jersey, on the banks of a canal dug by Irish navvies, where he now lives. Grounded, glistening, as gritty as they are graceful, these poems seem capable of taking in almost anything, and anybody, be it a Tuareg glimpsed on the Irish border, Bessie Smith, Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth I, a hunted hare, William Tell, William Butler Yeats, Sitting Bull, Ted Hughes, an otter, a fox, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Joscelyne, un unearthed pit pony, a loaf of bread, an outhouse, a killdeer, Oscar Wilde, or a flock of redknots. At the heart of the book is an elegy for a miscarried child, and that elegiac tone predominates, particularly in the elegant remaking of Yeats's "A Prayer for My Daughter" with which the book concludes, where a welter of traffic signs and slogans, along with the spirits of admen, hardware storekeepers, flimflammers, fixers, and other forebears, are borne along by a hurricane-swollen canal, and private grief coincides with some of the gravest matter of our age.
