Turning forty is less Witches of Eastwick and more Black Widow. Go figure. I've always known I was adopted. It never mattered much...until my birth mother died. I inherited a new power from the mysterious woman. But now she’s dead and I, despite the fact that I have exactly zero training, I’m the next time-traveling assassin. Don’t get excited. The job sounds glamorous, but it comes with a huge learning curve and plenty of mishaps. Then there’s having to actually assassinate people. That part sucks. It could be worse. I could still be working retail.
Going back to the eighties as an adult is going to be fun… But it isn't all leg warmers and boom boxes. As a time-traveling witch and assassin, I have a job to do. Catch the rogue travelers and stop them from creating havoc with the timelines. With danger lurking around every corner, I’ve got to be careful. I may have found a new lease of life in my job for the agency, but that doesn't mean my body works like a twenty-year-old's would, and I still have no idea how all of my magic works. So, that’s fun. At least I have my fae dragon, Fred, and a somewhat-friendly handler, Artie, who can help me uncover the secrets of my past. It could be worse. I could have a first date to be nervous about. Oh, wait. I do. Remember Cheesecake? Yeah, that’s happening.
Rowena is a time-traveling witch assassin who is very bad at her job. It’s one thing to know I’m a witch. It’s an entirely different thing to learn to use my powers. I’ve always known I was adopted, but it never mattered much until my birth mother died. I inherited her witchy powers and her job—a time-traveling witch assassin, neither of which I know what to do with. But at least I get a trainer, my birth mother’s old friend Arti, and a lazy dragon familiar who is determined to eat all my food and drink all my booze. Now I have to learn everything from scratch. Magic, time travel, assassining… assassinating? Whatever it is, I can’t fail, or I lose my job and the witches in line for the position after me? Let’s just say, not-so-nice. Keeping my job kinda means saving the world. No pressure. Grab this dark humor-filled, page-turning, suspenseful paranormal woman’s fiction now, and escape into a world of yummy cheesecake-like men, snarky familiars, time travel hijinks, and danger.

I thought the eighties and nineties were fun. Now it’s time to get trippy. (Very punny, right?) I’m finally going to get payback for the death of my mother, hopefully stopping the threat of the Rogue bloodline once and for all. All I have to do is survive the 70's and my deepening feelings for the sexy Mr. Cheesecake. Is it possible for me to have the life I want as well as continue working for an agency like TIME? For now, I’ll keep on steppin’ straight to the disco. Maybe try a little peace and love. Ha! Yeah, right. This isn’t going to end the way I think it will, is it?
When TIME takes everything Rowena Hembree loves, she calls on friends old and new to take it back. Raising a teenage daughter by herself and trying to rescue her handler is a lot for one witch, especially one grieving the loss of the love of her life, but Rowena Hembree is determined to undo the wrong from her past that has led to a domino effect of changes to her future. Nothing is easy and thanks to the TIME agency trying to smooth ripples in the fabric of time, Rowena can’t go back and undo the past. Boy, has she tried. But maybe she can fix it through the present. She calls in old favors and brings together a wayward band of witches to help her hunt down her half-sister and infamous jewel thief, Fiona, who is trying to steal Ro’s life to repave her own legacy. Twists and turns accompany Ro on her journey, and she wouldn't make it without her best familiar, Fred. Rowena Hembree has been to Hell and back in time. At this point, she can do anything. Including… no, can’t tell you that. Spoilers!
This book examines the phenomenon of prime time soap operas on Indian television. An anthropological insight into social issues and practices of contemporary India through the television, this volume analyzes the production of soaps within India’s cultural fabric. It deconstructs themes and issues surrounding the "everyday" and the "middle class" through the fiction of the "popular". In its second edition, this still remains the only book to examine prime time soap operas on Indian television. Without in any way changing the central arguments of the first edition, it adds an essential introductory chapter tracking the tectonic shifts in the Indian "mediascape" over the past decade – including how the explosion of regional language channels and an era of multiple screens have changed soap viewing forever. Meticulously researched and persuasively argued, the book traces how prime time soaps in India still grab the maximum eyeballs and remain the biggest earners for TV channels. The book will be of interest to students of anthropology and sociology, media and cultural studies, visual culture studies, gender and family studies, and also Asian studies in general. It is also an important resource for media producers, both in content production and television channels, as well as for the general reader.
