  Funerals are never easy, and this one is particularly difficult. These community events are the reason why the narrator left home, escaping to the city in the hopes he could forget his fears and past traumas. But now that he's returned to the secretive small town, where neighbours help one another with even the most difficult tasks, he's struggling to fit in and to connect with those around him. Worst of all, he's struggling to make it through the day as he can't help but think of what is being done to prepare for the gruesome burial to come.

  Tides of the Sovereign

  A centuries-old rebirth curse, an otherworldly Celtic prince, and an inescapable prophecy. 
  Thirty-year-old magic Bearer Julia Harrison had never given the notion of past lives or grand destinies any real credence or thought. She has knowledge of magic, and the power she shares with the women of her bloodline. She’s aware of the difference between Druids and Sorcerers, Wielders and Bearers, and so on, but regardless of all of that… her everyday life has always felt quite normal—distinctly unmagical—and never more so than as of late. 
  With the recent death of her beloved grandmother, Julia finds herself severed from the only sense of place she’d ever known. Grandma Gertie had all but raised her and was easily the strongest connection she’d had to her own magic, and that of the natural world. Without it, she feels lost. Disconnected. Unable to rely on (or even effectively access) her own limited magics in her current emotional state, Julia’s primary focus turns to placing one foot in front of the other as she resumes a linguistics degree that has taken far longer to earn than it should have. 
  But when a visiting professor arrives on her Vancouver campus—one who brings with him an odd sense of familiarity that’s almost as compelling as his raw Celtic masculinity—Julia knows that her life’s journey is about to change, heading off on an entirely new path. What she could have never predicted, or even dreamed of, was that somehow, they had walked that path together countless times before… each time towards their own inescapable deaths at the hands of Marcus Cassius Longinus, the indomitable “Child of Rome.”

  Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most important and influential American writers of the 19th century. He was the first author to try to make a professional living as a writer. Much of Poe's work was inspired by the events that happened around him. His poetry alone would ensure his spot in the literary canon. Poe's notable verses range from the early masterpiece "To Helen" to the dark, mysterious "Ulalume." From "The Raven," which made him world-famous upon its publication in 1845, to "Annabel Lee," the posthumously published eulogy for a maiden "in a kingdom by the sea." Most famously, Poe completely transformed the genre of the horror story with his masterful tales of psychological depth and insight not envisioned in the genre before his time and scarcely seen in it since. Stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Fall of the House of Usher" reveal Poe's talent at its height. He was an early pioneer in the genre of science fiction. 
   
  Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States, and of American literature.

  A Three-Part Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Mystery 
  Shivers. 
  Nausea. 
  Dread. Those sensations were back. The same ones I’d had seeing the dark figure under the street light, and at the airport. 
  Anguish. 
  Pain, and sorrow...darkness...death. 
  The friends Lynn needs to solve this mystery are the same people she’s been trying to convince for years of things seen and unseen. When the mothers of daughters no longer hold the key, the four must come together to solve the mystery and keep the balance. They must accept that sometimes what you believe may not always be the truth, and that family is sometimes more than blood. 
  What if magic was real? What if everything you believed about angels as a child was real—what if evil was real?

  Keira must decide if she should use her ability to contact ghosts to help the man who once tried to kill her. 
  Hunted and haunted, all she wants is to put her mysterious past behind her and move forward with her new friends as Blighty Graveyard's groundskeeper. But then she receives an invitation to dinner at the local recluse's crumbling ancestral estate. The mansion is steeped in history that is equal parts complicated and bloody—and at its center is the man who once tried to kill her, now begging for her help. 
  Dane Crispin believes his home is haunted—and that the unquiet dead clawing through the ancient house are after him. Unnerved but intrigued, Keira opens her second sight and discovers he's right: resentful specters cling to Dane…and if she can't find a way to stop them, threaten to consume everything in their path. 
  There's something dark happening in the world beyond most peoples' vision, and if Keira isn't able to sever the ties between the living and the dead, the chained spirits may not be the only things twisted beyond saving.
