Pages : 465
Book Description
When serial killers, fallen angels, MI6, and crimefighting misfits work together rules are broken, and you'll want one in your corner. Buckle-up! THE FALLEN ANGEL SERIES (standalone) The Deal Karma The Calling Already Dead They Know SERIES REVIEWS ‘Wow is this hard-hitting!' ’What if all we know about good and evil is only the surface of the truth?’ ‘A special team guards us, but they don’t look and act like you’d think they would.’ ‘A unique twist on the classic Heaven and Hell tale.’ ‘Blissfully raw, absolutely perfect. 5 Stars!' 'Delicious David never fails to deliver.' ‘Wow! Makes a great film. Raw, edgy, and completely addictive.' ‘There is romance and it’s definitely of the sizzling variety with a very hot chemistry.’ ‘Loved the premise. There’s something wonderful about a crime-fighting team of misfits going on jobs, while also interacting amongst themselves. There’s a Fringe aspect here, as well as a Warehouse 13, Reaper, Torchwood, Heroes, and Breakout Kings vibe. So, if you enjoy a group of people bringing justice, with all the twists and turns of a great Paranormal Fantasy, then this captures that beautifully.’ ‘Dispensing justice among the living in a way that nobody notices. A whisper here, a suggestion there, a shove, or an intervention at the right time.’ ‘What if the Fallen operate out of an MI5-esque organization, bringing people to justice, and doing what they can to help the living, including eliminating serial killers or giving the dying an extra day to see their loved ones’ ‘It plays like a film and is an exciting trip to an originally created world.’ ‘The concept is great, love the author’s storytelling. She has a fantastic imagination bringing it to life.' ‘What if angels are simply enhanced humans who made deals with the higher powers?' ‘Siobhan’s writing style is easy and faultless, I wanted to jump into the pages and be part of it’ ‘Download this one today, don’t get left behind!’ 'Not for the faint-hearted, it’s raw, edgy, completely addictive’ ‘I liked the premise that Good struggles with Evil, and that the lines between the two are sometimes blurred' ‘Fast-paced, witty comments mixed with an almost “thinking-out-loud” style that moves the reader through the story quickly’ ‘I loved this wonderful real-life prose in a world that could be real life, who are we to know! You won’t be disappointed’ ‘If you’re a paranormal fantasy fan on the lookout for the next Shadow Hunters or Women of the Otherworld, give this series a go’ ‘This surprised me. It has such promise as a series. Will truly be one of those magical books that are a must-read’ ‘Fans who love urban fantasy will truly get this’ ‘Rounding up criminals and a good mix of complicated family drama.’ ‘So descriptive I felt as if I was reading line for line an investigative report.’ BIO Cunningham writes what she knows. Having worked in the worlds of music, film, sport celebrity management, and crime (CID Crime Investigator, MCT Major Crime Team Intel Analyst, Wanted & Absconder Unit) she writes with a skilled mix of fuelled tension, dark humor, pulsating passion, and hard-hitting honesty.

Keep The Sparks Alive By Using Plain Common Sense
Author: Lovia Joann Pitts
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1477252266
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
This book is designed to help couples to value and appreciate what he or she has. For years women were taught to downplay their sexuality and femininity. This false image of being a good girl or to being a devoted Christian caused numerous women to downplay their intimate desires towards their spouse. However, some teachings provided were not accurate information. My goal is to empower women to know it is okay to embrace their sexuality and creative skills to obtain knowledge. God s Woman could be the PTA president, a sexy and classy woman and a committed dedicated wife that knows who she is. A male could show their emotions and still be masculine. We believe a marriage could be compared to a diligent farmer and gardener who care for a beautiful harvest that reaps a bountiful harvest in contrast to a gardener and farmer who is neglectful that does very little work yet expects a bountiful harvest, watch it deteriorate. Just as a rose garden in its beauty has to be watered, nurtured, cultivated and pruned in order to reap the results of a beautiful garden so it is with one s marriage. This book also contains a list of questions that should be asked during the dating stage when the couple believes their relationship is growing to a higher level of commitment. The practical common sense tips in this book are nothing new. They are plain common sense steps, which needs to be implemented by each mate. Your marriage will be no more or no less than what each individual is willing to make it. Viewing one another as being on, the same winning team is paramount. We recognize our differences, but instead of seeing them as negatives, we hold dear to them as being positive factors that contributes creativity to our marriage. We build upon one another strong points. We do not claim to have a perfect marriage whereby we can say that we never had an argument or said words that we had to ask forgiveness for, however, we continue to grow and learn from challenges and turned them into triumphs. Peace, Unity and Love.

Understanding Verbal Art
Author: Jonathan Webster
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642550193
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
This book applies linguistic analysis to the poetry of Emeritus Professor Edwin Thumboo, a Singaporean poet and leading figure in Commonwealth literature. The work explores how the poet combines grammar and metaphor to make meaning, making the reader aware of the linguistic resources developed by Thumboo as the basis for his unique technique. The author approaches the poems from a functional linguistic perspective, investigating the multiple layers of meaning and metaphor which go into producing these highly textured, grammatically intricate works of verbal art. The approach is based on Systematic Functional Theory, which assists with investigating how the poet uses language (grammar) to craft his text, in a playful way that reflects a love of the language. The multilingual and multicultural experiences of the poet are seen to have contributed to his uniquely creative use of language. This work demonstrates how Systematic Functional Theory, with its emphasis on exploring the semogenic (meaning-making) power of language, provides the handle we need to better understand poetic works as intentional acts of meaning. The verbal art of Edwin Thumboo illustrate Barthes' point that "Bits of code, formulae, rhythmic models, fragments of social languages, etc. pass into the text and are redistributed within it, for there is always language before and around the text." With a focus on meaning, this functional analysis of poetry offers an insightful look at the linguistic basis of Edwin Thumboo's poetic technique. The work will appeal to scholars with an interest in linguistic analysis and poetry from the Commonwealth and new literatures, and it is also well suited to support courses on literary stylistics or text linguistics.
