From pauper to princess to prisoner in forty-eight hours is a lot for anyone to handle, but she’s Phoebe O’Byrne, dammit! Phoebe thought her life had finally gotten easier and that she’d found her purpose. All she wanted to do was celebrate passing the BAR… then Grant Hollingsworth strolled into her life. Now, up is down, in is out, and people think they can turn into birds! Stop the world, this princess wants off!
Not everything is how it seems. Sometimes it is so much better! From a vampire without her fangs to a phoenix who can't spout wings, a puma without fur, and a girl who might just be one of the walking dead, you will laugh out loud, swoon in your seat, and want to devour all four tales of these 'Not Quite', but seriously AMAZING heroes and heroines. What could be better than one happy ending? Four in the same place! Can't wait to hear what you think of these happily-ever-afters with a giggle and a kiss stories! ENJOY!! XOXO, Julia
Time is running out. The body count is multiplying. It's all up to a cop, a vampire, and a self-proclaimed nerd to save the day. Great job... Sexy boyfriend... Heiress to the Georgia Onion Empire... Vidalia Fitzsimmons had it all until the day bodies started dropping from the sky... literally. Hold onto your hats, folks, you’re never gonna believe what happens next!
Fluorescent orange goo, one deranged raccoon, and a road trip to the bottom of the lake can be life-changing for anybody, right? Goodness knows Zoey’s life was never the same, but like everything else in her twenty-plus years, even returning from the dead didn’t go as planned.
Jax was sure he had the tiger by the tail, but it seems pumas are a whole lot harder to catch. Being related to royalty has presented its problems, but everything was manageable, at least that was before retired Marine Jax Montgomery found himself at the bottom of a ravine with a broken leg and a bruised ego. After two tours in Afghanistan and learning that people grow feathers, wings, and fur, Jax was sure nothing could surprise him, but things are about to get a whole lot 'hairier.'
Revenge may be cold, but vengeance burns white-hot. Cold was not Kamdyn’s style. Never had been. Never would be. She was the daughter of Evan McGregor, heiress to the Power and Magic of a hundred centuries of unstoppable Witches, and no one, not even a cold-hearted, thieving murderer, was going to take it from her. She would watch him burn and leave his ashes for the Elements. If it hadn’t been for that blasted Dragon… Be careful what you wish for. Wishes and dreams were for other people. Callum learned at a young age to make the most of the hand he’d been dealt. Life was tough, but he was tougher. As the son of one of the most revered Guardsmen of all time, he would take what he wanted and make no apologies. Go down with your sword in your hand and no regrets in your heart was the O’Shea family motto, but this Dragon had no intentions of going down and regrets. Well, they just weren’t his style. Come to think of it, neither was being careful. If it hadn’t been for that infernal Witch… Secrets revealed, rising passions, and an enemy they never saw coming force this couple to accept their Destiny and fight side-by-side to save all they hold dear. Will it be enough? Will they be in time? Will this be the first time Fate will be denied? This Dragon may be down, but he’s definitely not out - or is he?

Jenny Marchs acclaimed Dictionary of Classical Mythology, first published in 1998 but long out of print, has been extensively revised and expanded including a completely new set of beautiful line-drawing illustrations for this Oxbow edition. It is a comprehensive A Z guide to Greek and Roman mythology. All major myths, legends and fables are here, including gods and goddesses, heroes and villains, dangerous women, legendary creatures and monsters. Characters such as Achilles and Odysseus have extensive entries, as do epic journeys and heroic quests, like that of Jason and the Argonauts to win the Golden Fleece, all alongside a plethora of information on the creation of the cosmos, the many metamorphoses of gods and humans, and the Trojan War, plus more minor figures nymphs, seers, kings, rivers, to name but a few. In this superbly authoritative work the myths are brilliantly retold, along with any major variants, and with extensive translations from ancient authors that give life to the narratives and a sense of the vibrant cultures that shaped the development of classical myth. The 172 illustrations give visual immediacy to the words, by showing how ancient artists perceived their gods and heroes. The impact of myths on ancient art is also explored, as is and their influence in the postclassical arts, emphasising the ongoing inspiration afforded by the ancient myths. Also included are two maps of the ancient world, a list of the ancient sources and their chronology, the more important genealogies, and an index of recurrent mythical motifs.
