Colonization - Paradise Reclaimed #1 Aubrie Dionne We are sorry! The publisher (or author) gave us the instruction to take down this book from our catalog. ![]() ![]() I’m not sure if I will try to query publishers for the series or keep it self published… I will see if I gain exposure and if I get decent offers. ![]() I am hoping to release that in June or July as self published again. I have a pre-qual “A Justified Kill” that I am going through the formatting process on and will release the novella of Amber’s life and her “first kill” before No Remorse. However, I did go through ‘Publish America’ in the beginning and pulled it away from them because I wanted more control. Can you tell us your experience of self-publishing, and a little of why you decided to go down that route? No Remorse was self published. This is a first for me! I know you’ve been working very hard since the release of ‘No Remorse’, to publicise your ebook. ![]() I’m looking forward to the experience of being part of your blog tour. ![]() ![]() ![]() Women, especially, will be told to set our anger aside in favor of a kinder, gentler approach to change. Watch carefully, because not everyone is asked to do this in equal measure. In the coming years, we will hear, again, that anger is a destructive force, to be controlled. The anger we have as women is an act of radical imagination. If it is poison, it is also the antidote. An opportunity for contemplation and self-awareness. It is survival, liberation, creativity, urgency, and vibrancy. ![]() How much anger is too much? Certainly not the anger that, for many of us, is a remembering of a self we learned to hide and quiet. ![]() In anger, you will find both ferocity and comfort, vulnerability and hurt. It is both powerlessness and power, palliative and a provocation. It's a speech act, a social statement, an intention, and a purpose. It is reflective, visionary, and participatory. In anger, whether you like it or not, there is truth.Īnger is the demand of accountability, It is evaluation, judgment, and refutation. Anger is instrumental, thoughtful, complicated, and resolved. It is justice, passion, clarity, and motivation. Anger is freedom, independence, expansiveness, and entitlement. It is rational thought and irrational pain. It is intimacy, acceptance, fearlessness, embodiment, revolt, and reconciliation. It is communication, equality, and knowledge. “Anger is an assertion of rights and worth. ![]() ![]() ![]() The secret toilet humour in a Titian painting Hiding in plain sight, it may also be the arrow that points the way to the work's deepest meanings. Yet how many of us have ever consciously noted the object in the painting that is closer to us than any other – the chair on which the mysterious woman sits? Never mind that the piece of furniture is the only thing that Leonardo's sitter grips in her hand (she's literally pointing at it with every finger she has), the chair must surely be the single most neglected aspect of the otherwise over-stared-at icon. Leonardo da Vinci's inexhaustible portrait of Lisa del Giocondo, the 24-year-old mother of five and wife of a wealthy Florentine silk merchant who sat for the High Renaissance master in 1503, is doubtless the most famous work of art in the world. Another ubiquitous cultural image is the Mona Lisa. ![]() ![]() We've seen the sign whizz past us countless times without ever clocking its subliminal point. Take, for instance, the way the white space between the "E" and the "x" in the FedEx logo forms a big white arrow pointing forward. Some things are so obvious you never really notice them. ![]() ![]() Swoon!Īlthough the newlyweds are enjoying their time together, all is not well. Even though their marriage is “fake,” James and Cordelia OBVIOUSLY have very real feelings for each other, and have some *moments* now that they’re living together in a house that James designed perfectly with the two of them in mind. We reunite with James on the eve of his bachelor party as he prepares to enter into a (fake) marriage with Cordelia, since he’s still desperately in love with Grace (or so he thinks, because he’s STILL wearing that bracelet nobody likes).

The Chain of Iron Character Recap You Need Before Reading Chain of Thorns If you’re like me, you could not be more ready for Chain of Thorns to come out January 31! But before we read the final book in Cassandra Clare’s Last Hours series, we need to remember what happened to all our favorite characters in Chain of Iron. ![]() ![]() ![]() But the story quickly turns to a desperate race for life as the townspeople around him have been turned into zombies by a worldwide plague. Zombie Haiku opens with an innocent anecdote about Lynch’s typical commute to work. But for the majority of us, if the poem's got a 5-7-5 syllable structure, it's a haiku. Keen poets may note that Mecum's "haiku" are more accurately senryu, since nearly all the poems lack the the traditional reference to nature and describe life’s follies with sarcasm. Written as series of journal entries, the book recounts Lynch's foul and gruesome encounters as an infected zombie through the traditional Japanese poetic form. This haiku was penned by Chris Lynch, the fictional zombie-poet in Ryan Mecum's new book Zombie Haiku. ![]() ![]() Aside from the incessant braaaains, you may notice certain neatly doctored meditations about the everyday trials of the afterlife.

Meanwhile, Madeline’s partaking in an ever-escalating prank war with Jasper Hamada-the “artfully put together,” infuriatingly “hot” Japanese American supervisor of Prologue, a larger competing bookstore that has recently opened across the street-and navigating her unwelcome mother’s return to her life. But when Astrid announces the store will close at summer’s end, Madeline refuses to give up, attempting to attract customers and boost sales by hosting a local chef and food truck owner, partnering with her blonde booktuber best friend, Zelda, and landing a big author for an appearance. After college, Madeline plans to take over the store, one of the only constants in her life since their unreliable mother, Dahlia, left more than a decade ago.
