  It took one day to strip an Archangel of everything he held dear. 
  On the battlefield of Heaven, Uriel lost more than his left ear. He lost his Committeds and his will to live. Decades later, he’s drowning himself at the bottom of a bottle, with no escape in sight. He tried to end his misery, but death didn't take. Resigned to suffering eternity alone with only the ghosts of the ones he lost as company, the last thing Uriel wants is a new love.It took one day for a hybrid to fall in love with a broken, lost Archangel. 
  As the hybrid spawn of Lucifer, Jesse isn’t exactly popular with angels; carrying the face of a monster tends to have that effect. So, he keeps his head down and secretly prays for the day someone can see past his golden eyes to the soul inside—the soul desperate for the solace only surrender can provide. 
  A grieving Archangel searching for hope and a reason to live. A hybrid yearning for a firm, loving hand, and a place to belong. Join Uriel and Jesse as they test the boundaries of love and the infinite limits of grace.Cuffs & Carnations is a spin-off story within the Fire & Brimstone universe. It can be read as a standalone but is best enjoyed after reading the completed Fire & Brimstone Scrolls series.

  John Davidson was born at Barrhead, East Renfrewshire on 11th April 1857.  
  In 1862 his family moved to Greenock and there he began his education at Highlanders' Academy.  Davidson would now spend many years at school and the beginnings of a career in various industries before gaining employment in various schools. 
  By now literature was a large part of his activities and his first published work was ‘Bruce, A Chronicle Play’ in 1886. Four other plays quickly followed including the somewhat brilliant pantomimic ‘Scaramouch in Naxos’ (1889). 
  With his reputation gradually providing an income he was also able to explore his true medium; Verse.  ‘In a Music Hall and Other Poems’ (1891) together with ‘Fleet Street Eclogues’ (1893) were ample proof that he possessed a quite rare, genuine and distinctive poetic gift.   
  Davidson now turned further and further towards verse. In 1894 he published his most popular volume, ‘Ballads and Songs’ (1894), and this was followed by a further ‘Fleet Street Eclogues’ (Second Series) (1896) and by ‘New Ballads’ (1897) and ‘The Last Ballad’ (1899). 
  As the new century dawned Davidson was hard at work on a series of ‘Testaments’, in which he gave definite expression to his philosophy and were published over a seven year period; ‘The Testament of a Vivisector’ (1901), ‘The Testament of a Man Forbid’ (1901), ‘The Testament of an Empire Builder’ (1902), and ‘The Testament of John Davidson’ (1908).  
  However, on 23rd March 1909, with his finances in ruins, the onset of cancer and profound hopelessness and clinical depression he left his house for the last time.  His body was only found on September 18th by some local fishermen.

  Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell is a landmark collection in English literary history, representing the poetic debut of the Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—published under their male pseudonyms to ensure serious consideration in a restrictive Victorian society. Though modestly received at the time of its 1846 publication, the volume has since been recognized as a work of extraordinary emotional power and artistic originality.
  
  Emily Brontë's poems, written under the name Ellis Bell, form the spiritual and emotional core of the collection. Her verses are marked by fierce intensity, visionary imagination, and a profound engagement with nature, freedom, faith, and the inner life of the soul. Drawing inspiration from the wild Yorkshire moors, her poetry conveys solitude, defiance, and transcendence with striking lyrical force.
  
  The collection as a whole reveals three distinct poetic voices, unified by sincerity and depth. Themes of love, suffering, hope, mortality, and spiritual longing run throughout, offering insight into the inner worlds of the sisters before their novels transformed English literature.
  
  Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell stands as a testament to creative courage and artistic integrity. For modern readers, it offers not only beautiful and haunting poetry, but also a rare glimpse into the origins of three of literature's most enduring voices, with Emily Brontë's poems shining as some of the most powerful and uncompromising of the Victorian era.
