  It took one day to strip an Archangel of everything he held dear. 
  On the battlefield of Heaven, Uriel lost more than his left ear. He lost his Committeds and his will to live. Decades later, he’s drowning himself at the bottom of a bottle, with no escape in sight. He tried to end his misery, but death didn't take. Resigned to suffering eternity alone with only the ghosts of the ones he lost as company, the last thing Uriel wants is a new love.It took one day for a hybrid to fall in love with a broken, lost Archangel. 
  As the hybrid spawn of Lucifer, Jesse isn’t exactly popular with angels; carrying the face of a monster tends to have that effect. So, he keeps his head down and secretly prays for the day someone can see past his golden eyes to the soul inside—the soul desperate for the solace only surrender can provide. 
  A grieving Archangel searching for hope and a reason to live. A hybrid yearning for a firm, loving hand, and a place to belong. Join Uriel and Jesse as they test the boundaries of love and the infinite limits of grace.Cuffs & Carnations is a spin-off story within the Fire & Brimstone universe. It can be read as a standalone but is best enjoyed after reading the completed Fire & Brimstone Scrolls series.

  Stories to Share With My Partner...

  An anthology of stories can be a fun thing or a scary one. 
  Deciding what goes into an anthology can be daunting. Too much romance and some folks may decide it is ‘too mushy’. Put too much humour in, and others will say, ‘there is no substance’. Go with more science fiction, or fantasy, or horror, and you will have some folks just not pick up the book. 
  Finding the perfect ‘mix’ is a challenge for sure. 
  ‘Stories to Share with My Partner – Book 3’ presents what I hope is a good mix of stories and poetry to make everyone happy. 
  You have some love stories, ‘The Red Bug’ and the ‘The Coat’, for example, while science fiction is covered in ‘When the Future Arrives’ and ‘Coordinates’. 
  Funny stories are what I enjoy writing about, and there are few in this book. 
  ‘So That Is When the Fight Started’ is something many can relate too and in ‘Jerk’ I take a different approach to ‘superheroes’. 
  I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did when I wrote them. 
  As always, any comments are welcome, so shoot me a quick email to info@jfnodar.com.au

  KURBAS – The Audio Drama is an immersive international audio drama exploring the legacy and artistic vision of Les Kurbas, one of the most radical innovators of 20th-century European theatre. Set during his imprisonment in a Soviet labor camp, the drama unfolds in the shadow of Kurbas’s approaching tragic fate while reflecting on broader questions of freedom, memory, and the role of art in times of political oppression. Blending historical research with poetic storytelling, KURBAS unfolds through powerful dialogues, rich sound design, and original music that functions as a narrative force, creating an experience that sits between audio drama, musical, and documentary. Recorded largely in Kyiv in 2025 under extraordinary circumstances, it carries the resonance of voices shaped by history, resilience, and artistic resistance. Performed by an international cast and created by a multidisciplinary creative team, KURBAS – The Audio Drama is a one-of-a-kind listening experience: cinematic, emotional, and deeply human. 
  Written by Kateryna Onykiichuk, Directed and Produced by Jenny Gherpelli. Music: Vakthang Kantaria, Sound Design: Odhrán O'Brien. With Alina Fabri.

  A novel about the one thing money can never buy... and the one thing we will destroy to possess.
   
  When the wealthy and powerful Boyarina Marfa witnesses a simple shepherd's love for a peasant girl, something inside her snaps. She has everything—status, land, the power of life and death over her serfs—but she has never been loved. Not truly. Not the way Mitri loves Natasha.
   
  Then Cleopatra comes to her in dreams.
   
  The ancient Queen of the Nile, dead for fifteen hundred years, offers Marfa the secrets of seduction that once made men drown empires. Milk baths. Forbidden perfumes. The art of becoming a treasure locked in a fortress, a prize worth pursuing.
   
  But when every lesson fails, when the shepherd chooses his simple love over his mistress's wealth, Cleopatra offers one final gift: a small, withered apple. The Apple of Knowledge. Eat it, and he will forget everything but you. His past. His love. His soul. All burned away.
   
  Set against the brutal beauty of medieval Russia—where winter lasts half the year, where peasants jump over Kupala fires in search of love, and where a woman's loneliness can curdle into something monstrous—this is a story about the difference between loving and possessing. About the fire that consumes and the sun that gives life. About the price of wanting what is not yours.
   
  For fans of Russian psychological fiction, dark historical romance, and stories where myth and reality intertwine.

  Faust-The Tragedy

  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

  "Two souls, alas! are dwelling in my breast; and one is striving to forsake its brother."
  
  Dr. Faust is a brilliant scholar who has reached the limits of human knowledge, yet remains profoundly dissatisfied. In his thirst for infinite experience and absolute truth, he strikes a daring wager with the demon Mephistopheles: if the devil can provide a moment of such perfect bliss that Faust wishes it to never end, the devil may claim his soul. What follows is a cosmic journey through the heights of passion, the depths of despair, and the very foundations of Western civilization.
  
  From Personal Tragedy to Global Myth: In Part One, experience the intimate, heartbreaking "Gretchen Tragedy," where Faust's pursuit of earthly pleasure leads to the destruction of an innocent woman. In Part Two, the scope expands into a surreal, phantasmagoric exploration of history, politics, and classical mythology, as Faust seeks to find his place in the broader world.
  
  The Height of German Romanticism: Goethe's Faust is more than a play; it is a "World Poem" that captures the restlessness of the modern spirit. It explores the dangerous allure of progress and the redemptive power of the "Eternal Feminine." With its rich symbolism and breathtaking verse, it remains the ultimate exploration of the human condition—asking if a soul that never stops striving can ever truly be lost.
  
  Witness the wager that defined an era. Purchase "Faust" today and journey to the edge of heaven and hell.

  William Morris was born in Walthamstow, London on 24th March 1834 he is regarded today as a foremost poet, writer, textile designer, artist and libertarian.  
  Morris began to publish poetry and short stories in 1856 through the Oxford and Cambridge Magazine which he founded with his friends and financed while at university. His first volume, in 1858, The Defence of Guenevere and Other  Poems, was the first published book of Pre-Raphaelite poetry. Due to its luke-warm reception he was discouraged from poetry writing for a number of years.  
  His return to poetry was with the great success of The Life and Death of Jason in 1867, which was followed by The Earthly Paradise, themed around a group of medieval wanderers searching for a land of everlasting life; after much disillusion, they discover a surviving colony of Greeks with whom they exchange stories. In the collection are retellings of Icelandic sagas. From then until his Socialist period Morris's fascination with the ancient Germanic and Norse peoples dominated his writing being the first to translate many of the Icelandic sagas into English; the epic retelling of the story of Sigurd the Volsung being his favourite.  
  In 1884 he founded the Socialist League but with the rise of the Anarchists in the party he left it in 1890.  
  In 1891 he founded the Kelmscott Press publishing limited edition illuminated style books.  His design for The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer is a masterpiece.  
  Morris was quietly approached with an offer of the Poet Laureateship after the death of Tennyson in 1892, but declined.  
  William Morris died at age 62 on 3rd October 1896 in London.
