Book Description
This work presents a model for novel compound interpretation using Cognitive Grammar and schema theory. The model, based on analysis of established compounds and responses to novel compounds, claims that speakers try using real-world schemas attached to both element nouns to construct a relationship between them by matching already established patterns. When this is impossible, speakers often "metaphorize" the head noun.

Book Description
Who would have believed a job interview would result in being whisked away from earth, against their will, to a medieval world embroiled in chaos across dimensions, ruled secretly by an elite council who, in their omnipotence, had not considered there could be unforeseen consequences? Their plan was simply to rule the totality of Alluvia. The Certamen of Straterra, a continuum of organized and controlled conflicts regulated through a complex set of rules, commonly referred to as the game was intended to cause and maintain balance not empower an evil that would care more about conquest than rules, more about power than the welfare of any other being, or would challenge their authority and assume control with ruthless efficiency. Greyson and Miry, each considered a pawn in the game, were selected and imprisoned separately with the extraordinary expectation of each giving birth to three representatives drawn from their lineage who have the innate characteristics necessary to stand as a picket against an evil that had not been defeated in 250 rotations of the game. And so the journey begins in the land of Alluvia. A mysterious and chaotic world of multiple dimensions and considerable diversity in populations, Flora and Fauna. Embrace the journey through this world of dwarves and dragons, shapeshifters and shaman, ogres and elves, humans and halflings, mage born and seers. A journey that delves deep into the nuances of life, love, hurt, and hate...the despair of war and the joy of brief respites from the chaos. Be warned, those who choose to enter this world will not emerge unaffected...the folk you meet will seep into your heart and never quite let you go...

Book Description
Logan Fortune is all business, although he’s indulged in his share of pleasure, a fact made abundantly clear when he meets the new lady in his life: his toddler daughter. Admittedly out of his league, he turns to Emily Applegate, his no-nonsense assistant, perhaps the only woman in Texas who can resist his charms. Deep down, Emily’s crazy about her boss, but playboy moguls are definitely out of her league. Tasked with hiring a nanny, she soon discovers none of the candidates is good enough for the little girl she’s coming to adore. With her hair down, her glasses off and smiles aplenty for his daughter, Emily is suddenly so desirable to Logan, leaving him feeling a little unsteady. Now he’s got to pull off the biggest merger of his life, convincing a woman with no illusions that his heart—and his daughter—belong to her.

Book Description
Charmian Daniels (last seen in Murder in the Garden), chief metropolitan police superintendent of Central London, interrupts a medical leave when beautiful Vivien Charles, member of a witches' coven, is found fatally stabbed in her home, her corpse surrounded by cult objects. An autopsy reveals that Vivien was pregnant and the fetus deformed. Vivien's fellow witches, still reeling from the shock of her death, are dumbfounded by the finding, but sexy Joshua Fox, the lone male in the coven and laughingly called its warlock, is unsurprised. When Charmian learns that the primary duty of a warlock is to impregnate witches, the hapless man becomes the prime suspect--until he, too, is stabbed in his home. Every clue leads to the coven, but Charmian is unconvinced, and digs into Vivien's past to discover a more pedestrian kind of sorcery that might conjure up a killer. Melville serves up a balanced brew of career politics, the occult, and the psychology of murder.

Book Description
It is often said one should let sleeping dogs sleep. The same could be said for certain traditions long since laid to rest. There is often very good reason for both. Someone should have told Niko and his friends. There are many reasons why the 216 acres of dark grass, towering trees, suffocating shadows and unkempt buildings have been abandoned for over 25 years. Some reasons lay cushioned in reality and truth; others shrouded in mystery, secrecy and urban legend. Playing with darkness is the surest way for someone to discover their threshold for pain. And there exists no pain as intense or penetrating as fear. When Shawn, Paula, Arick, Lupe, Niko and Briana decide to rehash the tradition of disturbing this dark place nestled in a dark crevice of Prince George's County, Maryland, they quickly discover that waking the sleeping is answering the invitation to walk into your worst nightmare.
