To honor our marriage pact—til death do us part.

Not even when she casually promised me her hand in marriage.

Now those fifteen years have passed—and she’s shown up in town,
Fragile and beautiful, falling into my arms and rekindling the spark we felt so long ago,
Until it’s an inferno.
She melts at every touch, whimpers and begs for more.
But she tells me she’s not in it for love.
She just wants s*x, that’s all.
I get it.
But I’m not a kid anymore. I know just what she needs.
She wants stability, a father for her young son.
She wants a man who can take care of every inch of her.
I’ll make her fall in love, show her she belongs to me.
She always has.
I’ll give her our ‘forever,’
And prove to her that we were meant to be so much more than just best friends.

By David Delaney / Genre: Witches & Wizards, Supernatural, Thrillers & Suspense
Blood-magic wielding assassins, a shape-shifting girlfriend, and the real possibility of becoming the fabled boogeyman of the magic world—Orson Reid’s life just got super complicated.
It all started the day he kissed his best friend.
The kiss was life changing, but in ways Orson never could have imagined. It seems he contracted a virus that is making him taller, faster and stronger—transforming him into something more than human.
With his head still spinning from the revelation that shape-shifters, magic users, and monsters are real, he must also accept the fact that some in the magic world want him dead. And telling the good guys from the bad guys isn’t easy, especially when it comes to the Paragon Society, an ancient order that enforces magical law with brutal efficiency.
If all that wasn’t enough for one guy to deal with, there is also a good chance that he may be the Ollphiest, the legendary monster that even monsters fear.

The Story of My Life
By Helen Keller / Genre: Women, Biographies & Memoirs
“Excepting Lala Lajpat Raiji; the land of the five rivers has not produced in modern history a nobler Indian Patriot; a more devoted worker in the cause of the political freedom of Hindusthan; our Father Land and our Holy Land; while in suffering and sacrifice none who could be compared with him.
“Many there be who join a great cause when it is victorious and paying; a few there are who join in the fight for it when chances of ultimate victory are not out of sight; but scarcely one in a million is found who refuses to budge an inch and continues the fight for an ideal single-handed and alone even when all is lost and all have either forsaken or betrayed. A Rana Pratap at Chittore; a Bhau Sahab Peshwa at Panipat! It is they who are the standard-bearers of a Nation; a Race; a Religion and it is when drenched in their blood that the Despair of a people is reborn as a Hope in the next generation. Their immediate defeat and death assure the life and victory of a Race. Of such a mettle as that is Bhai Parmananda fashioned.”

SELF ESTEEM – DISCOVERING HAPPINESS WHERE YOU ARE
Running away from home! Who doesn’t sometimes dream of it? To go someplace else, to be somebody else!
Here is the story of a loveable mutt named Gumbo, who-longing to be SOMEBODY-abandons his watchdog duties and follows the streetcar tracks downtown to the historic French Quarter of New Orleans. There he discovers a world of new experiences and meets a colorful cast of canine characters, including a dancing poodle and self-appointed tour guide named Pompon, the blue-ribboned Champion Stella de Chateau Blanc, the fearsome Catahoula Hound and, finally, a nameless, homeless dog who visits Gumbo on the moonlit levee like a sad dream.
On his journey, Gumbo learns that the identity he seeks is not to be found in new places, however exciting, or in new acquaintances, however distinguished. For Gumbo, the road to self-esteem leads right back home, where he loves and is loved and where he is, after all, somebody very important.
Author Carol Talley, a former resident of New Orleans, returned to this picturesque city, tracing Gumbo’s journey down St. Charles Avenue and through the French Quarter to Jackson Square and the riverfront.
From Gumbo’s own shotgun house with its rose-bedecked chain-link fence to the sun-drenched Mississipi with its mighty ships and paddle wheelers, Illustrator Itoko Maeno has captured the kaleidoscopic magic of New Orleans for this classic tale of running away and returning.
Gumbo thinks he leads a pretty dull life. Maybe that’s why he decides one day to run away from home, to leave his watchdog duties and go Downtown. Children will delight in following Gumbo as he finds adventure aplenty in the historic French Quarter and meets a delightful cast of canine characters. And they will learn-as Gumbo does-that wherever he goes and whomever he meets, everyone seems to be looking for the very thing he has left behind-a place called home.
This is such a popular book in New Orleans, especially since the tragedy of Katrina. With its beautiful descriptions of the famous spots in the city, it has become especially dear to tourists and those with happy memories of fabulous New Orleans.
GUMBO GOES DOWNTOWN will help young readers examine the importance of their own homes, and help them explore sources of inner contentment.
A SURPRISE and added bonus is the “Enrichment Information” which includes lots of facts about Louisiana, the Mississippi River, New Orleans, a ShotGun House, the French Quarter, Jackson Square, The St. Charles Streetcar, and Gumbo (not the main character, but the spicy stew made with shrimp, crabs, oysters, chicken, ham, or even rabbit or squirrel! Seasoned with thyme, bayleaf, chilies, and cayenne pepper and thickened with okra or file, it is delicious!) This is fascinating detail that did not make it into the story itself, but is very rich in colorful descriptions of many famous places in and around New Orleans.
A second big plus is the “Letter to Parents and Educators” which includes many relevant questions and comments to facilitate conversation with the young reader about the message of the story…the importance of home…right where you are. So even though on the surface, this is just an engaging story for children, it is also truly helpful in a real way.
