Beschreibung

Laura Gethryn spends the first 7 years of her life in the shadow of the Black Mountains. Her horsey mother idolizes the absent soldier and his return a broken man, emasculated by the Great War, leaves them destined to remain the disappointed parents of a single girl child. Caught up in the dance of dysfunction that is their marriage, they hand over Laura's education to Mr Howells, a very different man to Gethryn. Welsh speaking, working-class and intellectual, he, his talented daughter, Mair, and disaffected son, Idris, open Laura's eyes to a surprising new world. Years later, Laura receives in the mail a package: Mr Howell's Parisian notebooks detailing his failure to escape the chains of his upbringing. Reading them, destroying them, may be the biggest service she does both her mentor and her future self.

    That’s the trouble with anarchists: big ideas, shoddy staff work. 
    Harry Delamere doesn’t know much about opera, but he’s fairly sure people aren’t supposed to get murdered for real at the climax. In this excerpt from his memoirs - published as the Gentleman Adventurer series - he finds himself kidnapped, blown up, suspected of murder, forced to listen to Winston Churchill, kidnapped again - oh, and again - enjoying a terrifying encounter with modern technology and making a most ungentlemanly display of his legs while tackling the threat of world revolution. 
    A thrilling clash between the genteel arts and the new-fangled flying machines! Two of the most notorious incidents in the history of British radicalism! Shocks, scandals, anarchist outrages, sinister secret policemen, foreign beauties, pioneer pilots, domestic beauties, and a most distressing episode during the interval at the Alhambra. 
    ‘Ye Gods’, said Winston Churchill; ‘Harry Delamere… It must be worse than we feared.’

    From USA TODAY bestselling Author Lynne Gentry comes a heartwarming peek inside a prickly mother-daughter relationship turned upside down. 
    "This series is not about dying. It’s about joyously, lovingly, energetically living." ~Amazon Reviewer 
    Sometimes the only way forward is to forget the past. 
    Returning to the Texas hill country was the right thing to do—or so I told myself. But putting my life on hold to care for my aging mother, who’s become as sharp-tongued as she is forgetful, requires the patience of a saint, which, according to Momma, I will never be. 
    Leaving my teenage daughter with her philandering father was out of the question, so I insisted Aria move to Texas with me. I hope I’ve not made another mistake by allowing Aria to experience her grandmother’s mental decline. It is comforting to watch music bond these two with the same power it used to bind me and Momma. It’s amazing how Momma can’t remember where she put her shoes, but she can still play complex musical scores. The doctor says nothing can stop the thick fog hijacking my mother’s mind. But I can no more abandon the hope that Momma will forgive me before she completely forgets me than I can abandon her. 
    Brimming with wit, authenticity, and southern charm, FINALLY FREE is the inspirational and emotional journey of a family whose only way forward is to forget the past. 
    You’ll have to laugh with these women to keep from crying.

    The Earth freehold received a young Ygg-Tree, and I a golden prize and Petal-in-the-Wind, who is worth more than any gold. Now I am an Ascendant, the leader of a battle spear, and the freehold's first pilot. 
     
     
     
    I am also all but immortal. That secret was revealed to me by the ancient voice who had shared my body for a long time. But why? What had happened to make me like this? And why can't I remember anything? 
     
     
     
    Unity has others like me, called the True. Perhaps they can answer my questions. 
     
     
     
    I must find them while no longer relying on the all-powerful White Devil's help. But first, I need to deal with the legacy he has left me, the Runes and the Domains, and most importantly, locate the ancient knowledge of the Kel that will help me defend the freehold under the sign of the Wild Hunt.
