A journey of crossing the border between dreams and reality. I let the world be a different world. Every day at daybreak, before reality could exercise control over my imagination, I let the world whisper in a different language. And why not? I was able to pretend in the sky that ours was a world of laughter and kindness, of honesty and compassion, of peace and happiness. Trapped among people who lost their souls, with the brooding world pushing in, Runiya hides behind her dreams. This is how she survives her life, running away from the harsh realities. Yet there is no escaping the unwanted and forbidden bond she has formed with a creature that humankind fears the most. It stalks her. A shadow attached to her heels.

How hard could it be to lose something I had never had, something I had never experienced? How hard could it be to lose a dream? Runiya is a dreamer. But even a dreamer can have a dream of which she dares not dream. Her only friend, Yarta, lives for the very same dream, after all. He deserves to be a Reviver more than she. He deserves the bond with the Guardian Animal more than she. This is what Runiya believes. Yet … What if she took the first step to pursue her heart’s desire one day? How far would she go to achieve it? Or what if the dream sought her out? Would she abstain from the irresistible union? This e-book is the first part of volume one of Gisiya Island Series. To read the complete fantasy novel, you should pick up The Blue Susurration.

Most people think witches are old and ugly - but ANITA isn't. ANITA doesn't cackle and hiss as she works dark curses, either. Oh, she casts witch's spells and incantations, but not the usual kind. ANITA's main interest is boys, just like any other girl her age. And she doesn't really need things like love potions - not with her face and figure. But ANITA is a witch, and she's young and a little reckless. Which means she sometimes makes mistakes (usually with boys), and when she does... all Hell might break loose....

"The mile-deep gorge made by the Blue Nile as it flows out of the highlands of North West Ethiopa into the broad plains of the Sudan is one of the greatest natural features in the world. It remained virtually unexplored until 1968. That summer an expedition supported by the Army, The Daily Telegraph and the Royal Geographical Society set out to investigate this gorge. It also aimed to navigate 500 miles of the crocodile-infested river - known in Ethiopa as the Great Abbai - 200 miles of which had not been visited by Europeans, except at occasional fording places." "The climax of the expedition, the penetration of the Northern gorge, was unhappily marked by the death of an expedition member by drowning, and by two attacks by bandits. In these harsh conditions a group of scientists - mainly zoologists - were able to carry out a valuable investigation of the area."--BOOK JACKET.

Midnight Louie and his human companion, Temple Barr try to discover who is trying to wreck the annual las Vegas cat show, and prevent mass cat murder.

It's 2020, and a magical cataclysm has shattered reality as we know it. Now a wizard's cabal is running the East Coast of the US, keeping a semblance of peace. Their most powerful agents, Edmund and Istvan -- the former a nearly immortal 1940s-era mystery man, the latter, well, a ghost -- have been assigned to hunt down an arms smuggling ring that could blow up Massachusetts. Turns out the mission's more complicated than it seemed. They discover a shadow war that's been waged since the world ended, and, even worse, they find out that their own friendship has always been more complicated than they thought. To get out of this alive, they'll need to get over their feelings, their memories, and the threat of a monstrous foe who's getting ready to commit mass murder...
