The rule: Get married and have a baby. When Grandpa Stinson dies, he expects nothing more than to keep his grandsons together, running the family's multi-billion-dollar business. But he's got just one unfaltering rule: They have to get married and have a baby first. Nicolas, the youngest, was the only one with a fiance, so that should have been cake. Just ask Alison to marry him. Until Alison cheats...relationship, over. Dafni Gallo has been running away from entitled rich bastards for most of her life, so the last thing she wants is to get together with another rich guy.

Everyone in town knows Copper Lodge, that designer home with floor-to-ceiling windows that looms over the small red-brick houses on Connelly Close. And the couple who live there, Elizabeth and Lucas Huxley, with their two blonde-haired, cherubic children, are seemingly perfect, plucked right out of a magazine. But meet Heather, the gardener’s daughter, arriving from the coast in her beat-up little car to spend the summer helping to prepare for the most important night of the Huxleys’ lives. Heather grew up in the grounds of this magnificent house, she knows its secrets...

The KGR seems unstoppable. To beat them, Wes fears he may have to become what he hates. An unfeeling man capable of unspeakable things. Raider, Yaeger and Diesel all try to keep the humans they own and protect safe, but the enemy seems to come in overwhelming numbers and better supplied than the humans left at the homestead.

As a Christian professional organizer, speaker, author, and coach, I organize everything by the age-old proven methods of the Bible. It's still the only thing that has a lasting effect. Act as If shows you how to organize your head, your home, and your heart. Act as if what your creator says about you is true. You are clothed in strength and dignity, you can laugh at the days to come, and it's time to take control and act as if!

Ellen, the narrator of Boyd's previous novel, The Revolution of Little Girls, this time pierces the heart of the sexual revolution in her quest to find a woman hero or - by default - to become one. Ferociously paced, Terminal Velocity delineates six wonderfully engaging characters: Artemis Foote, for whom being rich, talented, and beautiful is a kind of game; Jordan, a messianic fugitive who becomes Ellen's lover; Amethyst Woman, a Marxist/Leninist dentist; Ross, a red-diaper baby and now a columnist for Ramparts; and Pearl, an art history professor turned hippie.

No matter how hard she tries, Ellen Burns will never be Scarlett O'Hara. As a little girl in South Carolina, she prefers playing Tarzan to playing Jane. As a teenage beauty queen, she spikes her Cokes with spirits of ammonia and baffles her elders with her Freedom Riding sympathies. As a young woman in the 1960s and '70s, she hypnotizes her way to Harvard, finds herself as a lesbian, then very nearly loses herself to booze and shamans.

Drast and Tyran might be considered a bit black-hearted, or even immoral. Drast is cunning but reckless, hunting for admiration. Tyran is calculating but tactless, searching for affection. When the two brothers set aside their ambitions to fulfill their father's desire for immortality, they readily discover many opportunities for redemption. Now, while wielding a powerful magic that drains their life, Drast and Tyran will embark on a maddening quest, facing skin-switchers, dragons, and the God of the Dead.

Wes and Raider have found themselves in the thick of things once again. The KGR are hitting back relentlessly and, with Jessica’s group feared to be wiped out, the homestead falls into a quiet panic. Paranoia is running rampant, and rightly so: there’s a mole who has been working for Spider in their midst. After learning more about how the KGR operate, and where some of their caches are, Wes’s group goes on the offensive. Everything changes with Jess’s revelation; they know they have to keep the pressure up to keep their freedom.

New England, Maine. Langsam zog der Nebel auf. Kaum ein menschliches Wesen beachtete ihn. Denn er bildete sich weit draußen auf dem Meer in einer mondlosen Nacht. Seine weißen Fäden glitten über das dunkle Wasser und verdichteten sich zu einer scheinbar undurchdringlichen Wand. So waberte er lautlos auf den kleinen Küstenort New Port zu. Selbst der helle Strahl des Leuchtfeuers vermochte den Nebel nicht zu durchdringen. Er schluckte jedes Geräusch und jeden Todesschrei... der Geisternebel.

Over a millennium ago, at their father's command, Tyran and Drast sent the Horned God to the Netherworld in hopes of gaining everlasting life. Instead, they sparked a chain of events that led to the near destruction of the Ash Tree and the liberation of the old gods. Now, with the world waning, the two brothers are freed from Anaerfell to travel to the frozen realm of the dead and resurrect their enemy with hopes of restoring balance.

He has to survive what’s to be some of his darkest days and keep his humanity.

Finally! A male survivor speaks out about male childhood sexual abuse. Randy offers survivors and their families answers to their questions of why victims act out the way they do, and strategies to start living with greater purpose and happiness. Unlike books based on academic theories and abstract philosophies, Randy Boyd talks candidly about what it takes for men, women, and their families to heal from the pain of childhood sexual abuse. Randy tells his story in a way that the lay-person can absolutely relate to.

Nikolai von Hohenstein bittet den Reporter Artur Drayton zu einem Gespräch und erzählt diesem eine Geschichte, die den Reporter am Verstand des alten Mannes zweifeln lässt. Einst, im Jahre 1847, begab er sich als Student zusammen mit dem niederländischen Gelehrten Prof. van den Broek auf eine Expedition durch die Karpaten und Russland. Dabei jagte der Professor für Geschichte, Philosophie und Anthropologie hinter Legenden und Gruselgeschichten her, die die Einheimischen ihnen erzählten.

Two sex demons walk into a church and get married in the sight of God, surrounded by their friends and family. Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke? Not so much. All Perrian “Perry” Haines wants is to marry the man of her dreams - more like nightmares - and be left alone, but when Samael, a psychotic archangel, is out to murder her and all her kind, it puts a damper on her not-so happily ever after. Submitting to Samael almost seems safer than her new husband, the seductive sex demon O’Neil Haines, whose secrets hold the key to her survival and her humanity.

Naomi and I are best friends. School runs, dog walks, a shoulder to cry on over a glass of wine - we’re inseparable. But now my husband has walked out, I need her more than ever. I know she will help me pick up the pieces. Because she knows about the lie I told to protect her. She knows how much I’ve sacrificed for this friendship. And she’d never let anyone hurt me. Would she?

Throughout history generations of young men have fought in wars started by old men. There is no experience other than combat that makes a more lasting or life changing impression on a man or woman. The majority who have seen the battlefield saw combat before their 25th birthday, and many who did never got to celebrate that anniversary. Those who do come back are forever changed. Krebs in Hemmingway's "Soldier's Home" for instance.

Archie's Heart is a war story - a collaboration novel by four post-apocalyptic authors: L.L. Akers, Boyd Craven III, P.A. Glaspy, and L. Douglas Hogan.
