She doesn't want anything to do with the fae... too bad that won't stop him. Callie Brooks has a gift, though that's not exactly what she calls it. She sees things--has been able to since she was a little girl--and it's more of a nuisance than anything else. But so long as she pretends that she can't, she's safe. The strange creatures won't bother her if she keeps herself from staring. After more than twenty years, she's gotten pretty good at it, too. Nothing surprises her any more. Until she sees him. Aislinn is a Light Fae. One of the Seelie, and a member of the Fae Queen's guard. After a foolish mistake inadvertently offends Melisandre, the queen punishes Ash by moving his guard post to the human world. It's an insult, but he accepts the post in the Iron because it's better to be bored than to be another statue in Melisandre's garden--or worse. What's a decade or two of human watching so long as he gets to keep his head? Cloaked in glamour, no one is supposed to know he's crossed over. Which is why he's so... so interested by the curious human who seems to watch him back--and whose pretty blue eyes can see right through his glamour. The fae trick humans. They use them. They touch them, then discard them. Ash always thought he was like the rest of his kind. Now? He's a fae who wants a human, and will stop at nothing to figure out what it is about Callie that makes him--and her--different than the rest... especially when he decides to seduce her and she rejects him outright. That only makes him want him more. And hopefully he can convince Callie to agree to accept his touch before the Fae Queen realizes that his attention has wavered, otherwise it won't be Ash who gets punished this time. It'll be Callie. **Glamour Eyes is part one of a pair of novellas (~38,000 words) featuring the very human Callie and the Light Fae male who will give up everything to have her... With a couple fated to be mates, this book is solely intended for adult readers.

We live in a polarized time. Christians are quick to conceive of themselves either as theologically-minded or worship-minded; either thinking Christians or feeling Christians. The results are damaging: theology without worship is muted, stifled, and cold, and worship without theology is ungrounded, unrooted, and uninformed. This is not the way it was meant to be. Theology (our study and knowledge of God) should always lead to doxology (our worship of Him). Worship should always be rooted in theology. When we study the nature and character of God as revealed in his Word, we are invited to respond in the affectionate, obedient discipleship of worship. How can we keep our theology from being mere head knowledge? How do we give our worship roots that will last? By fixing our eyes on God Himself—the object of our study and the object of our worship. Fix Your Eyes is an invitation to understand core doctrines of the Christian faith and apply them in our daily worship of God. It walks believers through key theological concepts and shows how each can be lived out in daily life.

Teleny is an authorless and explicitly homoerotic novel often attributed to Oscar Wilde. It is an important antithesis to the prudish idealism of the neo-classic and neo-romantic lyric love poetry of the end of the century. It is a work of unmasking the cynical double moral standards of the Victorian era: The love of Camille and Teleny is shattered by social reprisals. The book was published in 1893 in 200 copies by Leonard Smithers who praised it as being "the most powerful and cleverly written erotic romance which has appeared in the English language" during that era". Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) is a central figure in aesthetic writing. Wilde was a poet, fiction writer, essayist and editor. Oscar Wilde is often seen as a homosexual icon although as many men of his day he was also a husband and father. Wilde's life ended at odds with Victorian morals that surrounded him. He died in exile.

Learn the Words. Get the blood. Rule the world. A stand-alone short story in the Ustari Cycle—the gritty supernatural series that includes We Are Not Good People from the "exhilarating, powerful, and entertaining" (Guardian) storyteller of the Avery Cates series. For blood mages, the twenty-first century means hiding in the shadows, keeping society unaware of their incredible powers. The power-hungry sort plot quietly to manufacture tragedies bloody enough to give them the gas they need to cast monumental spells.

Lately though, his days have taken a strange turn, always the same and yet minutely different. Since hooking up with this group that wants to utilize his uncanny ability to write and alter spells for their Big Heist, Lem’s constantly feeling like he’s forgetting something, like something is calling to him from the beyond. Perhaps most bizarre of all, his best friend Mags is nowhere to be found—and the police seem to want to help Lem locate him. The po-po being helpful to a Trickster like him? Now he knows something is up. This ebook also contains an excerpt of We Are Not Good People.
