Summary

A Gripping Tale of Science, Monstrosity, and the Human Search for Identity
Embark on a thrilling journey into the realm of scientific ambition and its monstrous consequences in Mary Shelley's groundbreaking masterpiece, Frankenstein. Follow the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but obsessive scientist, as he attempts to unravel the secrets of life and create a sentient being from inanimate matter.
Driven by an insatiable desire for knowledge and the power to conquer death, Victor assembles his creation from body parts, unaware of the horrors he is about to unleash. Upon breathing life into his creation, Victor is horrified by the creature's grotesque appearance and abandons it, leaving it to fend for itself in a world that rejects and despises it.
Alone and ostracized, the creature yearns for acceptance, love, and a place in society. It seeks out Victor, demanding that he create a companion for it, promising to leave humanity in peace if his request is granted. However, Victor, consumed by guilt and fear, reneges on his promise, leading the creature to embark on a path of vengeance, wreaking havoc and destruction in its wake.
Frankenstein explores profound themes of creation, responsibility, and the consequences of scientific ambition. It challenges readers to confront their perceptions of beauty, humanity, and the nature of life itself. Shelley's timeless masterpiece continues to captivate and inspire readers, leaving an indelible mark on the literary landscape.
Delve into the depths of scientific pursuit and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Download your copy of Frankenstein today and experience a literary masterpiece that has stood the test of time.

    We broke our new series on learning Greek down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.  
    This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Greek. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Greek decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Greek speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Greek. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Greek at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Greek, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    Writing an Identity Not Your Own...

    A practical guide to help authors authentically write and edit a character whose identity is different than their own. Do you have the tools to authentically write and edit a character whose identity is different than your own? It’s not a subject that’s generally taught in creative writing programs, and there are so few craft books and online resources on the subject. Even if you can take a seminar, class, or workshop, there’s nothing like having an easy-to-understand book on hand to provide guidance and insight every time you craft characters with historically marginalized identities. In Writing an Identity Not Your Own, award-winning author Alex Temblador discusses one of the most contentious topics in creative writing: crafting a character whose identity is historically marginalized. What is “identity,” and how do unconscious biases and bias blocks impact and influence what we write? What is intersectionality? You’ll learn about identity terms, stereotypes, and tropes, and receive genre-specific advice related to various identities to consider when writing different races and ethnicities, sexual and romantic orientations, gender identities, disabilities, nationalities, and more. Through writing strategies, exercises, and literary excerpts, writers will gain a clearer understanding on how misrepresentations and harmful portrayals can appear in storylines, dialogue, and characterization. Alex will guide writers from the brainstorming phase through the editing process so they can gain a full understanding of the complexities of writing other identities and why it’s important to get them right.

    Publish With Speed. Position Yourself as a Leader. 
    A business book is often approached as a writing project. Its real value lies in how it positions your thinking and integrates with the work you already lead. 
    Authority Authorship shows experienced professionals, executives, consultants, and industry leaders how to publish a business book that strengthens credibility, builds trust, and clearly positions their thinking—without stepping away from their core responsibilities. It reframes authorship as a strategic professional asset that creates access to new opportunities. 
    This book is written for professionals who want to establish authority in their field, attract higher-value opportunities, and shape the conversations in their industry. 
    In today’s fast-moving marketplace, leaders cannot afford multi-year publishing timelines. A business book can be developed and published in months, then used to shorten trust cycles, communicate complex ideas with clarity, and create sustained professional visibility. 
    The result is faster, more effective access to opportunities such as clients, speaking engagements, strategic partnerships, and leadership recognition. 
    You will learn how to clarify the point of view you want to be known for, design a book that communicates how you think, and align your publishing efforts with outcomes such as consulting, speaking, and business development. The focus is not on writing for its own sake, but on building a durable professional asset that compounds over time. 
    Authority Authorship presents a disciplined approach to publishing for professionals who want their ideas to travel further, carry more weight, and strengthen their long-term influence.
