Sinopse

"Dominie Dean" is a masterful exploration of the complexities of human character and relationships, set against the backdrop of a small-town American community. Butler employs a keen wit infused with a satirical lens, crafting a narrative that oscillates between comedy and poignant reflection. The novel dissects societal norms and challenges the intricacies of faith, duty, and the quest for personal fulfillment in a rapidly changing world. Through vibrant descriptions and engaging dialogue, Butler captures the essence of early 20th-century American life, while delving into the moral dilemmas faced by his characters. Ellis Parker Butler, a contemporary of Mark Twain and a prolific figure in American literature, drew inspiration from his own experiences in small towns and as a writer. His keen observations of human nature and societal idiosyncrasies informed his work, allowing him to inject humor into serious themes. The narrative voices in "Dominie Dean" reflect Butler's own eclectic literary interests, demonstrating his ability to weave the profound with the absurd, a signature quality of his storytelling. Readers looking for a thoughtful yet humorous examination of human relational dynamics will find "Dominie Dean" both enlightening and entertaining. It is a compelling read that encourages contemplation on the intersections of duty and desire, making it a timeless addition to the American literary canon.

    Flowering Evil by Margaret St. Clair - Like all her other plants from far-off worlds, Aunt Amy hoped the Venusian Rambler would win a prize. It hoped so too. 
    Captain Bjornson shook a grizzled head. “I never saw a plant I liked the looks of less,” he said. “I don't know how he got it through the planetary plant quarantine. You take my advice, Amy, and watch out for it.” He took another of the little geela nut cookies from the quaint old lucite platter, and bit into it appreciately. 
    Mrs. Dinsmore sniffed.  “I  don't know what you're driving at,” she said coldly, “or why you're so prejudiced against my poor little Rambler. You know perfectly well that Robert would never send me anything the least bit dangerous.” 
    Captain Bjornson paused with another cookie half-way to his lips and looked at her. “Wouldn’t send you anything dangerous !” he exclaimed. “Why, Amy, have you forgotten how your face was swelled up for two weeks from that tree cutting he sent you? The doctor said it was a contact poison worse than sumach, and he tried to get you to go to the hospital. What about the time that cactus from the Blue Desert went to seed, and I spent thirty-six hours picking spines out of you? What about—” Mrs. Dinsmore gave a warning sniff. 
    “Well, all right,” Bjornson said. “I know how fond you are of Bob, and I know you don't like me to mention his mistakes. I'll grant you he means well. So what? He's Mighty, scatter-trained, and brash. To use an expression that u as current when I was a boy, Bob is a twerp.”

    Morgan has been lonely. She hasn’t had a partner for a while and she’s growing restless. Since the popularity of a certain Vampire series in the early 2000s, she’s found that she can earn her way into the bed of any woman she wants by suggesting that they might be the mate she’s fated to be with. She has a mate of course, all dragons do, but it won’t be one of the humans with whom she spends her time. It’s worked well for her up until this point, when the object of her affections doesn’t believe her, and now she has to work a little harder to get the one she wants into her bed. 
    Hilly has never been one for romances, let alone paranormal ones. When she agreed to pick up a book for her brother she didn’t plan on being hit on by an extremely hot woman, let alone one who claimed to be an ancient dragon shifter. She doesn’t believe Morgan, that would be ridiculous, but she can’t help but feel a pull toward the older woman she didn’t expect. And she’s just curious enough to find out. 
    Neither anticipated that Morgan’s pick up line would prove prophetic. When it becomes clear that Morgan’s immortality is waning and they need to seal their mated bond, or risk Morgan losing her life, they’ll need to decide where to go from here, and save their lives in the process.
