Sinossi

In "Witch of the Demon Seas," Poul Anderson masterfully intertwines elements of science fiction and fantasy to craft a narrative rich in adventure and moral complexity. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous sea filled with supernatural occurrences, the story follows the daring exploits of a young sailor caught in a web of sorcery and danger. Anderson employs a lyrical prose style that evokes the atmosphere of maritime mythology while exploring themes of courage, loyalty, and the conflict between man and the unknown, drawing readers into a world where the line between reality and fantasy blurs seamlessly. Poul Anderson, a prominent figure in science fiction literature, was known for his deep interest in mythology and historical narrative, which permeates this work. His rich background in physics and an extensive knowledge of Norse mythology and seafaring lore undoubtedly influenced his depiction of a world fraught with moral ambiguity and treacherous waters. This fusion of scientific inquiry with fantastical elements reflects Anderson's belief in the power of storytelling to illuminate human experience against a grand cosmic backdrop. Readers searching for an exhilarating voyage through the realms of dark magic and high seas will find "Witch of the Demon Seas" both compelling and thought-provoking. Anderson'Äôs deft storytelling provides an engaging exploration of human resilience amidst the supernatural, making this novel a must-read for aficionados of both science fiction and folklore.

    What do you get when you mix a snowstorm, secrets, and two people who desperately need a second chance at love? Come home to Rivers End and fall in love with this heartwarming, second-chance Christmas romance. 
    All Lindsay MacAllister wants it to make it home to Rivers End in time for her Uncle Isaac’s Christmas wedding. But the universe has other ideas. Lindsay is convinced that she’s on the naughty list this year, and that getting snowed in—with the one guy who managed to completely break her heart—is her punishment for the secrets she’s been keeping from her family. 
    Noah Burke is happy to hop a plane to Hawaii with his foster brothers and avoid the holiday season altogether. But a snow storm brings the airport to a grinding halt, and throws the girl-next-door he’s never been able to forget directly into his path. Now Noah’s faced with a choice. Will he risk telling Lindsay he’s never gotten over her and try to convince her he deserves a second chance? Or will his troubled past come between them… again? 
    *** 
    Note from the author: This is a small town, second-chance, sweet holiday romance with a HEA and no cheating. There is the occasional use of strong language and while most of the ‘action’ takes place off screen, if you’re looking for ‘clean and wholesome’ this might not be for you. 
    It can be read as a standalone, or you can enjoy it with the rest of the MacAllisters of Rivers End romance series (psssst… there’s a boxed set of the first 4 books!).Silver Bells (Jenna+Isaac, Beginnings)Tipsy (Shannon+Lucas)Reindeer Games (Ginger+Eli)Wedding Bells (Jenna+Isaac, HEA)

    A tourist town folk tale of stifled ambition, love, loss, and the bird women who live beneath the lake. 
     
     
     
    Every summer the peaches ripen in Port Peter, and the tourists arrive to gorge themselves on fruit and sun. They don't see the bird women, who cavort on the cliffs and live in a meadow beneath the lake. But when summer ends and the visitors go back home, every pregnant Port Peter girl knows what she needs to do: deliver her child to the Birds in a laundry basket on those same lakeside cliffs. But the Birds don't want Georgia Jackson. 
     
     
     
    Twenty years on, the peaches are ripening again, the tourists have returned, and Georgia is looking for trouble with any ill-tempered man she can find. When that man turns out to be Arlo Bloom—her mother's ex and the new priest in town—she finds herself drawn into a complicated matrix of friendship, grief, faith, sex, and love with Arlo, his wife, Felicity, and their son, Isaiah. Vivid, uncanny, and as likely cursed as touched by grace, Bird Suit is a brutal, generous story as sticky and lush as a Port Peter peach.

    Would you destroy your best friend to save your husband...if he's done the unspeakable? 
     
    Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to "Material Girl"...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers. 
     
    Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie. 
     
    Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared. 
     
    But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body. Even stranger, Tara's husband is nowhere to be found. 
     
    As the investigation shakes the town to its core, and Tara's husband is charged with the murder, Tara must choose between proving her husband's innocence or protecting Ginger's past. 
     
    Little does she know they're about to stumble down a twisty path that could destroy them all. 
     
    A twisty psychological thriller that is at once a chilling murder mystery, a heartbreaking family drama, and an ode to the bond of friendship. Perfect for fans of Verity, Lisa Jewell, and The Last Thing He Told Me. 
     
    "Crane succeeds at painting families and friendships in vivid detail; women will see their tussles and triumphs in these pages, and will relish the twists and moments of brave camaraderie and bold revenge." - Booklist

    2010 
    Helping pack up his childhood home was going much easier than Amir expected. The only sticking point is the record collection his father Alonzo refuses to put in storage. When Amir asked his father why he needs to keep all those records with him, Alonzo offers to tell him a story instead. 
    -- 
    Monterey Pop Festival 
    In 1967, Alonzo was a baby music reporter at the Village Voice on his first big assignment. By his side is photographer Ada Carr who is all brown skin, big afro and sharp tongue. He should be worried about his story, but all he can think about is the way Ada looks dancing to the music in the dusk, the stage lights illuminating her form. He knows love when he sees, or better yet hears, it. 
    Over the course of two weekends, over forty years apart, Alonzo imparts a soundtrack of love and life to Amir that bridges the past and present and they both learn how to say goodbye.
