Book Description
One vampire. Five witches. One young woman alone in the world who doesn't know about her own power. Five men who've promised to protect her. Hot and dangerous from the get-go. Of all the weird things that happened to me, dying had to be the worst. Later, it turned out I wasn't dead after all, and that came as a real shock. The bare-chested witches and the undead Romanian vampire are all that stand between me and the demons who want to kill me. Oh, yes, and salt and magic, if you can believe that. And that was just the start of the craziness. And did I mention the men's bare chests? These guys seem to have a problem with clothes. Not that I'm complaining. Sorry, I ramble and digress when the threat of impending death gets too much. Anyway, three of the guys seem to have the hots for each other and it's bound to end in tears, but that's another story. I'll find out more and let you know IF I survive the night. EARTH is book one in a sizzling four-book paranormal romance series set in London. It features: Witches, magic, and vampires. A kick-ass woman at the heart of the story. Bisexual characters in a reverse harem romance. More explicit MMF scenes than you can wave a witch's wand at. Knife crime and fruit smoothies.

The Occult Life of Jesus of Nazareth
States of Desire
Author: Vicki Mahaffey
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195353889
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
This book is an intimate study of the three giants in Irish literary history: Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, and James Joyce. In addition to constructing a narrative of Irelands political and literary past, Vicki Mahaffey interweaves the lives and writing of the authors into a portrait of national imagination, shaped not only by a vast cultural and mythic heritage, but also by the hard fact of English political domination. States of Desire argues that what people desire is fundamentally connected to how they write and read. Not only do language and narrative shape desire (and vice versa), but because these processes are socially conditioned, some political circumstances, such as those present in Ireland at the turn of the century, foster experimental desire more successfully than others. Mahaffey's contribution to the critical discourse on literary modernism is to assign a political motive to the art of modernist wordplay; in doing so, she offers a more compelling and socially driven version of the oft-told tale of literary modernism. Irish writers, she argues, sought to disrupt the rigidity of political thinking and social control by turning language into a weapon; by opening up infinite new possibilities of meaning and association, linguistic play makes it impossible for thought to be monopolized by the state or any other institutional power. In this light, the text becomes a prism of political, cultural, and erotic desires: a fountain of conscious and unconscious linguistic suggestion. Defying semantic control and refuting societal repression, Wilde, Yeats, and Joyce literally fought, in their lives and in their work, for a freedom of expression which--as was painfully evidenced in the case of Wilde--was not to be had for the asking.
