All in all, the series is tons of fun and is perfect if you’re looking for something to read during these chilly winter months.

Her most recent release is The Duke In Question which is part of her Daring Dukes series. If you didn’t know, Amalie Howard is a historical romance author who has written over 20 books and she doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. In particular, her recent release of The Duke In Question does even more. If there is one author who is changing the game for historical romances, it’s Amalie Howard.

It’s one of the best Gaiman adaptations to come along in some time, and it’s a must-read for lovers of mature fantasy and art nouveau. To compensate for the story’s scant page count, the edition includes notes and sketches from Doran explaining her creative process. The result is a lush, unabashedly sexy fantasy/horror comic with a timeless, mythic feel. Her panels drip with fin de siècle elegance: beads, flowers, flowing hair, Celtic designs, and dense collages of figures, landscapes, and patterns. To match the script’s eerie mood and transgressive themes, Doran draws visual inspiration from Harry Clarke, an early-20th-century illustrator and stained-glass artist with a romantic, decadent sensibility. Accompanied by sumptuous art deco illustrations from Colleen Doran, Snow, Glass, Apples is a work of exquisitely gothic beauty. Brite in 1997 and a year later in Neil’s short story collection Smoke & Mirrors. Originally released in prose form in 1994 as a benefit book for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, it was reprinted in the anthology Love in Vein II, edited by Poppy Z. The dark fairy tale recasts “Snow White” from the queen’s point of view in this version, White is a seductive vampire, the dwarfs are sinister “forest folk,” and cutting out the princess’s heart does nothing to stop her wintry reign of terror. Story: Like all good fairy stories Snow, Glass, Apples has had several lives before this. Doran ( Amazing Fantastic Incredible) outdoes herself in adapting Gaiman’s inventive short story into a stylish graphic novella. Untamed has been described as “a wake-up call” (Tracee Ellis Ross), “an anthem for women today” (Kristen Bell), and a book that “will shake your brain and make your soul scream” (Adele). With Untamed, Glennon Doyle-writer, activist, and “patron saint of female empowerment” (People)-ignited a movement. I created Get Untamed: The Journal as an interactive experience in charting our own way-so we can let burn that which is not true and beautiful enough and get started building what is.” -Glennon Doyle Every life is an unprecedented experiment. “We must stop asking people for directions to places they’ve never been. A bold, interactive guide to discovering and creating the truest, most beautiful lives, families, and world we can imagine, based on the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed Andersen from forcing Big Ma to sell their valuable trees. With Cassie’s daddy gone to lay tracks for the railroad, it seems like no one can stop Mr. Cassie’s trees, which have stood for centuries, are a great source of comfort to her. But there is one thing that hasn’t changed-the whispering trees outside her window. Taylor's Newbery Award-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.With the depression bearing down on her family, there isn’t much that Cassie Logan can count on anymore. Another powerful story in the Logan Family Saga and companion to Mildred D. Residing in Sun City, California until 2005. And this time, Tempus? own soul hangs in the balance, as primal forces and even Enlil, the most fearsome storm god of them all, haggle over his fate. Born Main Lakewood, Ohio, Janet moved to Southern California in 1944 after her marriage to Joseph Hirz. In imperial Ranke, Tempus finds himself torn between conflicting oaths and pitted against powers not even his immortal strength can vanquish ? powers both mortal and immortal, magical and heavenly, so that, in the end, the god-ridden and accursed soldier must make pacts with his most hated enemies ? not only A?kelon, the Lord of Dreams, but Death?s Queen herself ? in order to save the souls of those he loves and the empire he?s served so long. Randal, the Stepsons? pet mage and Niko?s former partner, must unite Tempus, the Stepsons, and hellish aid from magical quarters in a desperate attempt to save the defenseless Niko from Death?s Queen ? and himself. When Niko quits the Stepsons, he finds that his troubles are just beginning: not only has Death?s Queen marshaled new forces to entrap him, but Rankan interests desirous of a change in emperors have singled him out as the perfect assassin. THE SEARING CONCLUSION TO JANET MORRIS? BEYOND TRILOGY BEYOND WIZARDWALL the northern adventures of Tempus and his Stepsons come to their apocalyptic conclusion at the Festival of Man, where the games are not the scheduled ones of prowess at swordplay or chariot-racing, but games of assassination and treachery, with the Rankan emperor?s life and the honor of the Sacred Band at stake. We know you will enjoy reading these magical letters as much as we do and find the path of the Elven Way beautiful and enchanting. This book is the first volume containing the original letters of the EQD -a Frasority of Elves and were contributed by the founders of the EQD, Arwen and Elanor, and the commentaries are written by the Silver Elves. Silver Flame, his faithful sister-lover companion, soon joined him and they've been pursuing the Dharma ever since. Among these vortexes was the Elves of the Southern Woodlands in Carbondale, Illinois, established by Zardoa who would, some years later after the sisters ceased writing them, take on the Dharma of creating the elf letters, first in Florida under the name the Sylvan Elves and later in California as the Silver Elves. (and some outside of the US) where those interested, who had heard the Call, could write to awakened Elves. Within months of their first publication, many other kindred joined the sisters and established vortexes around the U.S. They wrote fascinating esoteric letters of elven lore and philosophy that, when they really got going, were sent out in groups of three every week. They have dedicated themselves to long forgotten ways of hand. In 1974, a pair of sisters-Arwen and Elanor-calling thems'elves the Elf Queen's Daughters (EQD) emerged upon the Pagan/Wiccan scene. They wander the Post-post-apocalyptic world looking to bring justice and order to the people.
