Summary

Ramona Herdman's Glut is a lush, entertaining, and bittersweet collection of poems about how we live together and find meaning through rules and rituals around food, family, alcohol, work, nature, sex and love. These vividly-realised, nimble poems probe at the delicate balancing acts we – our bodies and our minds – perform in life: between power and trust, between convention and rebellion, and between what is enough and what is too much.
All the time, Herdman's spry poetry keeps a gimlet eye on our impulse to make sense of it all – of how we live and work together, and what strategies will help us to navigate our way through the tangled undergrowth of negotiation and misunderstanding. Glut is a lustrous, darkly funny, open-hearted book on the distance between people, on satisfying appetites, and on seeking both pleasure and consolation.
Available since: 08/04/2022.

    A Potion, is a life saver for love. Love at utmost is a sacrifice to oneself to advantage another. 'He allowed us to love so we love Him more.' Mystical life of One cosmos. 
A place far from here that is where this story is set. The formulas and terminologies are all from our existence and all are to be placed to the test. On a planet far from our galaxy where lives life and there they live peacefully. The inevitability of all laughs comes to cries, just as we feel there are also cries of joy, this story follows that existence. From a day of simple beliefs of the Adi Granth (Sikh Scripture) the islands of Sasha & Goman come alive, and are followed in Bani's spin with a moon and a rock orbiting it. Here people learn to live and they learn to obey as what revolves over them cannot be changed. They wait for their fate to be delivered to them.

    In Dedra L. Stevenson’s first work of crime and courtroom drama, Desert Magnolia takes the reader along a turbulent journey with Daniella Pierce, a small town Southern gal who ended up living as a Muslim in Dubai, happy and fulfilled, or at least she thought. Daniella, upon hearing that her father has been murdered as a result of a hate crime, learns that her beloved cousin has been accused and will stand trial for his life. 
Daniella comes back to her original home only to be immersed in a full blown Southern mystery, taking her on an emotional journey that proves to be not only therapeutic, but freeing for many skeletons, both real and supernatural. Armed with her quest for the truth and many stops for iced tea and good down home Southern cooking, Daniella doesn’t give up on her cousin, even though he has left a trail of broken hearts along the way. 
As the two had grown up together, Daniella and Leo always felt like brother and sister, both enduring the home environment of the mighty Ross Pierce, the Second. Ross Pierce was a wealthy businessman and well respected among his peers, but becoming that powerful in a small Southern town means that you will develop enemies along the way. The question is, which one hated him enough to kill him in such a horrific way? 
Daniella struggles to unravel the mystery in time to save her cousin, but also faces the racial tension that she left behind when she married an Arab and became a Muslim. With the help and support of a handful of her relatives and her dearest friends, Daniella takes the necessary steps to end the tension once and for all.
