After the death of her parents, nine-year-old Maria met the mysterious seventeen-year-old Sarkon Ritchie who claimed to be her father’s friend and wanted to take her under his wing to care for her. As she got older, she realized that Sarkon comes from a world entirely different from hers: a world of the plutocrats, the most powerful and wealthy people of Lenmont’s high society - and Maria’s life had taken an extraordinary turn… Despite Sarkon’s insistence on being Maria’s guardian, who swore to protect her in place of her father, Maria fell in love with that striking blue gaze and beastly charm. But what does it mean to love the second most powerful person of Lenmont’s high society? Will he ever love her back? Or will Maria be just another pawn of a power struggle? The Red-Haired Lover is created by Elle Gobe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

With evocative description and careful scholarship, Patricia Monaghan takes readers on a journey through the countryside of Ireland. She discovers an abundance of sacred pools, half-forgotten caves, petroglyphs etched on stone walls, and wells built on Celtic holy ground, and she beautifully recounts the legends associated with these mystical sites. Searching for the holy relics of nature religion, goddess worship, Celtic ceremony, Christian sanctuaries, and fairy lore, Patricia juxtaposes these ancient rites with the contemporary issues of ecology and war, exploring the connection between her rich heritage and the dilemmas of the modern world.

I'm not a racist, but... You look good, for your age... She was asking for it... You're crazy... That's so gay... Have you ever wondered why certain language has the power to offend? It is often difficult to recognize the veiled racism, sexism, ageism (and other –isms) that hide in our everyday discourse. This book sheds light on the derogatory phrases, insults, slurs, stereotypes, tropes and more that make up linguistic discrimination. Each chapter addresses a different area of prejudice: race and ethnicity; gender identity; sexuality; religion; health and disability; physical appearance; and age. Drawing on hot button topics and real-life case studies, and delving into the history of offensive terms, a vivid picture of modern discrimination in language emerges. By identifying offensive language, both overt and hidden, past and present, we uncover vast amounts about our own attitudes, beliefs and values and reveal exactly how and why words can offend.
