  Uncle Remus' stories feature a trickster hero called Br'er Rabbit ("Brother" Rabbit), who uses his wits to slide out of trouble and gain the advantage over the slower witted other animals, many of whom are trying to eat him. Br'er Rabbit stories were mostly collected directly from the afro-american oral story-telling tradition and are said to be a direct interpretation of Yoruba tales of Hare.

  Indeed, the world of Oceania in George Orwell's famous novel is routinely described as oppressive, and hopeless, and variously deemed a horror story, an elegy, a threnody, a shriek of terror, a wail of despair, a death cry. Isaac Deutscher, the biographer of both Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin, referred to it in 1955—in the wake of the controversial BBC broadcasts and their "fatal" consequences—as the "Black Millennium," when George Orwell turned a segment of time forever into charcoal dust. Literary and cultural critics have described 1984—or rather Nineteen Eighty-Four, to use the British title that Orwell himself preferred—as the vengeful death wish of a cynic, the tubercular projection of a dying man, the paranoid fantasy of a writer in despair, the Schadenfreude of a neurotic adult schoolboy who sent the entire world to room 101, and a totalitarian tract devised as a desperate invalid's futile protest against the specter of totalitarianism, whether in the form of Hitler's on the right or Stalin's on the left.Nineteen Eighty-Four is none of these.Rather, it is instead an affirming flame, even an optimistic vision of a hope-filled time just over the horizon.

  The predator has become the prey… 
  Jordyn Alvarez works for the United States government—a fact no one in authority will admit. She does Uncle Sam’s dirty work. Some might call her an agent, but few know her real title—assassin. 
  Trained by one of the best black operatives in the world, she wants nothing more than to add him to the long list of people she’s sent straight to hell—but she doesn’t dare get close to him ever again. 
  If she did, she couldn’t be sure her body wouldn’t betray her and she’d once again wind up in bed with him, obeying his every command. With her cover blown, though, she may not have a choice. 
  Who is he? He’s a ghost. A man with one name—Carter. And it’s time for him to pay for his sins. 
  ***Fans of Susan Stoker, Sierra Cartwright, and Kennedy Layne will love the passionate romance, nail-biting suspense, and happily-ever-afters of the Trident Security series. It is best read in order.

  Erin 
  How on earth did I find myself in this situation? 
  I was just attending my best friend's wedding, expecting the usual affair filled with flowers, speeches, and all that jazz. 
  The whole event was dreadfully dull, and I was desperately seeking an escape. 
  And that was when I met them. 
  Two tall, irresistibly attractive Ex-Marines. 
  Jackson and Caleb. The owners of the secret dungeon in Vegas. 
  One ignites a blaze within me. He's alluring, rugged, and undeniably solid. 
  The other possesses an intensity that sends shivers down my spine. Dominant, mysterious, and damaged. 
  I am left speechless when they whisper their naughty little plan to personally evaluate me, 
  to see if I could handle what they have in mind. 
  As those damn elevator doors close, I know there's no turning back. 
  And just as anticipation reached its crescendo, they whispered something that left me weak in the knees... 
  They want to share me. Pleasure me. Together.
