This fresh twist on the popular shapeshifter theme offers paranormal suspense fans passion and danger in the Florida Everglades. Swamp Magic: Beth’s life is upturned when she reluctantly agrees to accompany her idiotic brother on a hunt for the Bog Man. She becomes separated from the others and comes face to face with the legend himself … only no one ever mentioned how damn sexy he was. But Moss, whose sensual iridescent tattoos are a reflection of his unusual reptilian side, struggles to come to terms with the fate an evil witch has cast over him, and wants nothing more than to be left alone. The swamp’s dark history will test the duo’s survival skills as well as lure them deeper into the magic of the swamp…and passion. But can their love prove stronger than the curse that envelops them? Under the Full Moon: Cursed to be a laughably unthreatening swamp creature, armadillo shifter Damien stays deep in his cave to hide his shame…until his path crosses with Grace’s. Grace gave up on love ten years ago when her fiancé, Henry, disappeared in the swamp. Thrust together in the face of imminent danger, Grace and Damien become close, connecting in ways they’d never imagined, until a secret from the past threatens their fledgling bond. As enemies emerge and alliances tangle, one thing becomes clear: only the strongest hearts will survive. Sensuality Level: Sensual

With the mermaids and the Beast beside her, she chased her enemies through the ocean, only to discover a deadlier threat than she could have imagined waiting in the sunken ruins of a place that had been lost a thousand years before. And in one moment, everything changed. Now, the Beast is gone. The mermaid world is in tatters. Ancient magic has turned Ari’s worst enemy into a force unrivaled on land and sea, a monster more terrible than the Beast had ever been.

Many ways of thinking about and living with ‘the environment’ have their roots in the Bible and the Christian cultural tradition. Environmental Humanities and Theologies shows that some of these ways are problematic. It also provides alternative ways that value both materiality and spirituality. Beginning with an environmentally friendly reading of the biblical story of creation, Environmental Humanities and Theologies goes on to discuss in succeeding chapters the environmental theology of wetlands, dragons and watery monsters (including crocodiles and alligators) in the Bible and literature. It then gives a critical reading of the environmental theology of the biblical book of Psalms. Theological concepts are found in the works of English writers of detective and devotional stories and novels, American nature writers and European Jewish writers (as succeeding chapters show). Environmental Humanities and Theologies concludes with an appreciation for Australian Aboriginal spirituality in the swamp serpent. It argues for the sacrality of marsh monsters and swamp serpents as figures of reverence and respect for living bio- and psycho-symbiotic livelihoods in bioregions of the living earth in the Symbiocene. This is the hoped-for age superseding the Anthropocene. Environmental Humanities and Theologies is aimed at those who have little or no knowledge of how theology underlies much thinking and writing about ‘the environment’ and who are looking for ways of thinking about, being and living with the earth that respect and value both spirituality and materiality. It is a new text nurturing sacrality for the Symbiocene.
The companion to "In Whatever Houses We May Visit," this collection of short stories and essays features works that shed light on the many topics physicians encounter daily.
She's young. Gorgeous. Cursed.And she's so not going to put up with it.Moët Arkady is a Lecora -cursed by an ancient swamp magic so that any man she kisses could end up not only possessing HER but a lifetime of fabulously good luck to boot. Not exactly helpful when returning home after years of banishment BAM! Moët's plane crashes right into the swamp that created the curse in the first place. So when Moët must play good Samaritan to a drowning passenger, what was that? A kiss? Better not be, because he's Moses Gentry, the indomitable Gentry in The Consortium v. Gentry Refinery, the biggest most dangerous legal war these southern Parishes have ever seen, the one that will decide whether the swamp itself lives or dies.And she's the new Court Monitor who has to decide the whole blasted thing.If Moët rules for the Consortium, Moses Gentry will lose everything -like he's gonna let that happen. But if she rules for Moses, the Consortium's rich and powerful members could be headed to prison -and they sure don't intend on going. Since Moët's predecessor resolved the dilemma by ending up alligator bait, and her former high school sweetheart is now the Consortium's lead attorney and pretty great at stealing kisses, Moët could sure use some good luck herself.And that wily old swamp still has its magic not to mention some truly surprising plans for the intrepid little Lecora -and whoever wins (and whoever loses!) The Consortium v. Gentry Refinery.Because when they least expect it, a bit of swamp magic could just seal this deal... with a kiss!A Kiss From Moët is 71,000 words long and written in the genres of romance/magical realism/humor. Sample chapters from some of the author's other novels are added.
They’re only badass by accident... Vola might be new to this whole adventuring thing, but she’s pretty sure this isn’t how you’re supposed to save the day. No one at her academy wanted an orc as a paladin, so they’ve sent her to the back end of a swamp, hoping she’ll never find a quest good enough to earn her shield. Well, screw that. Vola’s got divine help, and even a laughingstock of a goddess can do some righteous smiting. Armed with a new mission to find some missing orphans, Vola just needs a team to help her track them down. Beggars can’t be choosers but couldn’t her goddess have sent her at least one competent fighter? Now she’s stuck with a hyperactive halfling, a klutzy spell caster, and a cloaked mystery who’s a little too good with their knives. Can a half-orc paladin keep her new party alive in a swamp that’s determined to eat them, or are all the naysayers right and Orcs really can’t be heroes?
Dragons and magic await. Dragons of Dawn is an epic saga that contains three novels that are prequels to the World of Godsland fantasy series. Each is a great place to start the series or to continue the adventure. Dragon Airways - Lured by ancient magic, a boy with special needs and unusual talents becomes valuable to both sides of the war. Fleeing those sent to capture him, he and his sister board Dragon Airways. Ascension - Having reached the age of decision, Gwendolin Ahlgren finds she has no viable choices, or at least none her family will agree to let her pursue. She's resigned that her life will be anything but what she'd hoped it would be. When a traveling circus passes through her village, a fortune teller predicts a mysterious destiny Gwen could never have imagined and roundly rejects. Against her will, she leaves home for life in a monastery and meets the love of her life. Life and love aren't always what one expects, and neither is destiny. Gwen will have to stretch beyond herself and understand the true meaning of love if she's to fulfill her destiny through a task that only an unimaginable ascension can accomplish. Onin - Joining the King’s Guard is something every kid growing up in the Midlands dreams about. Onin never dared imagine such a life for himself, even after distinguishing himself in battle. When offered a rare opportunity to train within the Heights, he must balance honor, duty, and family. Haunted by persistent dreams and lured by the possibility of becoming a member of the guard, Onin leaves his home and the last vestiges of childhood behind.
