  • Being Loki - cover

    A little concerned that he seemed to have skipped the Norn's notice when it came to getting a mate, Norse God Loki decided to embark on a path of discovery. He believed that the Norns hadn't put a mate in his path, yet, because he didn't know much about living as a mortal. So, in the interests of learning all he could about the human experience, and following a path many mortals did, Loki employed the services of a therapist. And, sure enough, after following her directions, Loki found himself standing in front of his mate.  
    Let the loving and fun times begin...  
    Except, Anubis, Egyptian God of Mummification, Death, and Lost Souls, was having a few issues of his own. He wasn't about to reject Loki, he hadn't heard of him before, but he was too wound up in his own human experiences. They included a blond twink named Cooper, a nightclub with staff who didn't know their place, and concerns about what he'd learned regarding Osiris during his father's altercation with Seth.  
    Nobody had ever worked out if fated gods could live without each other, but with everything going on around them, Anubis and Loki might have to see if it was possible. Loki would only take a certain amount of being ignored before he did what he did best - Being Loki.  
    Being Loki is an MM paranormal romance story where Loki is described at one point as being something akin to an adorable puppy. I wouldn't write about him unless I could give him an HEA, but he and Anubis do have some fun working things out. This book is intended for adults only - please store your content responsibly. 
    Can be read as standalone, but reading Odin's story (Special Enough) and Seth's Story (Reconciliation) will give you more depth about the backstories.

    Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
    Who better to ask about soap magic than a psychic, right? Well, I'm not convinced either, but if the soap works on the magically inclined as well as on other people, then that's not an opportunity for me to waste. And this is how I ended up in a pile of pillows, with the psychic under me, over me, and pretty much all around me. And one day, an archaeologist might discover under all those pillows a position we haven't tried yet, but until then, this was more than I had actually hoped for. 
    So, well, the third part of Soap Magic gets us through all the things lesbians can do to and with each other, including, but not limited to, pillow sex. Also conains soap.

    Music Therapy - Healing through...

    Music has long been recognized as a universal language, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to evoke emotions, inspire creativity, and foster connections. Its profound ability to influence the human mind and body makes it a powerful tool in the realm of healing. Across centuries and civilizations, music has been intertwined with rituals, ceremonies, and therapeutic practices, underscoring its integral role in promoting well-being and harmony. 
    At its core, the healing power of music lies in its ability to engage multiple dimensions of human experience. On a physical level, music stimulates neural pathways in the brain, influencing areas responsible for emotion, memory, and motor coordination. Research has shown that listening to or playing music can lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, while simultaneously boosting the production of dopamine, which promotes feelings of pleasure and relaxation. These biochemical responses highlight music’s potential to alleviate stress, reduce pain, and improve overall physiological health. 
    Emotionally, music serves as a conduit for expression and connection. It has the unique ability to articulate feelings that words often cannot capture, offering solace during moments of grief, anxiety, or despair. For individuals dealing with mental health challenges, music therapy provides a safe and non-invasive avenue to explore and process emotions. Whether through the soothing strains of a classical melody or the energizing beats of a rhythmic tune, music can uplift spirits, encourage self-reflection, and foster resilience.

    Alternative History of Britain...

    Continuing his exploration of the alternative paths that British history might so easily have taken, Timothy Venning turns his attention to the Hundred Years War between England and France. Could the English have won in the long term, or, conversely, have been decisively defeated sooner? 
     
     
     
    Among the many scenarios discussed are what would have happened if the Black Prince had not died prematurely of the Black Death, leaving the ten-year-old Richard to inherit Edward IIIs crown. What would have been the consequences if France's Scottish allies had been victorious at Neville's Cross in 1346, while most English forces were occupied in France? What if Henry V had recovered from the dysentery that killed him at 35, giving time for his son Henry VI to inherit the combined crowns of France and England as a mature (and half-French) man rather than an infant controlled by others? And what if Joan of Arc had not emerged to galvanize French resistance at Orleans? 
     
     
     
    While necessarily speculative, all the scenarios are discussed within the framework of a deep understanding of the major driving forces, tensions, and trends that shaped British history and help to shed light upon them.
