  Navigating the stormy seas of the 1960s wasn't easy, especially if Vietnam was on your horizon. 
  Ignoring his 2-S selective service deferment, Conor Patrick McKall volunteers for the draft, and Uncle Sam promptly deposits him in the Big Green Machine. 
  Six months later McKall is walking point in jungles, rice paddies, and rubber plantations. In nine short months, he's made an infantry squad leader responsible for a dozen other grunts. In the "boonies," life is lived one day at a time. 
  Joining McKall's squad is Jack "Red" Sheridan whose near-death encounter with a black panther presents challenges to his credibility from other members of Lima Platoon. When McKall stands with Sheridan, an unbreakable bond develops. They meet Red Cross Donut Dollies and together experience the infamous Black Virgin Mountain where the good guys control the top and the bad guys the rest. 
  Escaping Vietnam for a handful of days on R&R in Sydney, Conor experiences Aussie hospitality and the attention of a green-eyed beauty who offers him a chance to escape the war. Loyal to his oath and to his men, Sergeant McKall barely has time to supplant the fading scent of Chanel before he and his squad must face their determined and deadly adversaries. The arbitrary gauntlet of Vietnam offers no guarantees.

  After three years together, Aurora and Leela have settled into a cozy life. The only complaint is their lack of quality time together. When the opportunity arises for a trip to paradise, they can't turn it down. A week of romance among Hawaii's natural wonders is exactly what they need to reconnect. When they return home, their relationship is the strongest and most stress-free it's ever been. 
  Then, Aurora learns she's pregnant. 
  There was no infidelity. There was no assault. There's no logical explanation for the conception, but the pregnancy is undeniable. And it feels right to Aurora. 
  Aurora and Leela debate whether a scientific or spiritual reason is the cause, but the mystery takes a backseat as maternal instincts take over. Aurora's connection ranges from the ordinary to psychic, but her experiences are nothing compared to Leela's. A new, primal voice from within directs her to do whatever is necessary to protect their child. 
  Can they keep the cause of the pregnancy and the psychic connection to their child a secret? Can they come to terms with the uniqueness of their child and the circumstances around her conception? And can they accept the grandest miracle of them all?

  Animal Farm - (Deluxe Edition) -...

  "Animal Farm" by George Orwell: A Tale of Revolution, Power, and Betrayal 
  "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." 
  On a quiet farm, animals rebel against their human masters, dreaming of equality and freedom. Inspired by noble ideals, they establish a new order—but their revolution quickly devolves into a dark tale of power and corruption. Orwell’s Animal Farm is a sharp political allegory reflecting the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism, showing how revolutions can be hijacked by those hungry for control. 
  As the pigs, led by Napoleon, seize power, the animals’ dream is distorted. Slogans like "Napoleon is always right" reveal how language and loyalty are weaponized to suppress dissent. Orwell illustrates how regimes rewrite history, betray founding principles, and mirror the very oppressors they replaced. 
  Beyond politics, Animal Farm explores ambition, loyalty, and the ease with which people are manipulated. The animals’ blind trust leads to betrayal, as the once-promising movement becomes indistinguishable from the tyranny it opposed. Orwell’s chilling maxim captures this hypocrisy: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." 
  A timeless classic, Animal Farm warns of the fragility of freedom and the corrupting force of power. Orwell’s allegory remains a powerful reminder to question authority and reflect on the true meaning of justice and equality.

  In Dedra L. Stevenson's first horror thriller, a young woman unleashes a terror in the form of a dark entity upon her life. Unlike Stevenson's work in Fantasy Fiction and Courtroom Drama, The Skinwalker: Resurrection promises psychological thrills like no other—a dark spirit, a possession, a hidden identity, a love story, the mighty tribe of the Navajo, and a finale that will surprise you. 
    
  Shortly after the discovery of a mysterious book of witchcraft spells in her home, Carmella unknowingly invites something sinister into her world, a long-deceased Navajo skinwalker, and this skinwalker wants to walk the Earth in human flesh again. The witch's faithful servant follows each step that Carmella takes as he serves his Mistress. 
    
  Slowly but surely, she falls prey to the darkness, and only the tribe is left to help her. With the support of her friends and the man that she loves, she is taken to the reservation and a traditional ceremony ensues. Carmella becomes the mortal captive of Haseeya, the Skinwalker witch, and the tribe must ask for the help of an ancient force from the stars.
