Book Description
One night would never be enough ... Penelope Blake Sinclair always gets what he wants. And what he wants now? Me. Everything about him screams danger. Every arrogant, sexy inch of him. A smart woman would walk away. Apparently, I'm a fool. I didn't just give him my heart. I gave him my virginity. Now I'm his new obsession. I wish I could say he wasn't mine. But that would be a lie. Together, we're fire. Even though I know I should save myself, there's part of me that wants to stoke the flames...even if it burns my whole life to the ground. Blake I'm an addict. Penelope Green is my drug of choice, and I indulge in her every chance I get. The more time we spend together, the more I crave. I want to crawl inside her and never leave. I want--no, need--to possess her. But my past is as dark as her eyes, and not everyone is willing to leave it buried. Someone is out to expose me. He wants what's mine. Setting her free is the right thing to do. Too bad I've never been any good at doing the right thing. AUTHOR'S NOTE Dark Descent into Desire is a standalone, spicy, dark billionaire romance featuring a heroine who is stronger than she realizes and an anti-hero who wants her more than his next breath.

Book Description
The title Descent into Darkness came to me several months before I started to work on the book. I felt inspired to write about a particular transition in my life at midlife. With several questions about my true purpose in life, my life path had come up. And I felt I needed to dive deep into unknown waters of emotion, desire, fear, and pain in order to find the answers. I had an intuitive sense that I was slightly off track and that something deep inside of me was not touched, and I felt something big missing in my life. I have decided to take the lid off and dive into the invisible, the unknown, and take the risks of either falling off the abyss or finding true freedom. I have found that writing has been my only way to stay sane in this process. And so I birthed this book.

Book Description
Amatoria is partly a disclosure, partly a veil, and partly a revelation incorporating the poetic discovery of God as experienced by the living and the dying alike. Man knows nothing of death and love until he is clothed in such, yet God is always willing to facilitate the transport of life out of one and into the other. Amatoria is sublime in its obscuration. It has been well said that the devil led the author a little way farther up in the medulla of the brain. But it is enough to know that in the self-indulgent disorder of the 21st century God still kills the old way.

Book Description
This work is primarily a genre study, aiming both at enlarging the canon of pastoral texts and at theorizing generical development in a comparative context. Addressed to a general audience of poetry enthusiasts as well as students of genre theory and specialists in the field, the book takes as its examples the twin pastoral genres of funeral elegy and marriage hymns. Schenck establishes in her introduction that the strategies she isolates in elegies and epithalamia govern lyric processes more generally; that in fact every poem might be an epitaph if it pronounces an elegy upon a former poetic self and announces rebirth of the artist as a poet. All poems are genuinely epitaphic in their attempt to record verbally and lastingly the death and implied rebirth of the poet as poet each time he lifts his pen to begin a new poem. The specific forms explored in this book, elegy and epithalamium, serve precisely as model initiatory scenarios. Elegies tend to gesture toward the past, pronouncing an epitaph upon poetic apprenticeship and recovery voice by means of symbolic burial of a forebear. Marriage poems, alternatively, are future-directed, celebrating (as do elegies) passage from virgin to mature state. Both forms aim at circumventing mortality, by apotheosis and deification in the case of the elegy, and by the projection forth of &"issue&" at the end of the marriage poem. Investigation of the symbolic reciprocity of these seemingly distinct forms yields a surprising range of variant forms, extends provocatively Claudio Guillen's theory of genre and counter-genre, and initiates a poetics of pastoral ceremony that has implications for the general study of lyric modes.
