Book Description
A dissatisfied angel falls to Earth to pursue his long-held dream of becoming a heavy-metal rock ’n’ roll god For Volos, heaven is a bore; the real action is in the world of mortals. So the restless celestial abandons the eternal realm, transforming himself into a beautiful, decadent example of the human male while keeping his wings intact, and sets out to become a rock star. Needing appropriate lyrics for his soon-to-be hit singles and having no firsthand experience with mortal emotions and concerns, Volos finds everything he needs in the personal writings of a sexually repressed wife and mother from the Bible Belt. The daughter of a tyrannical fundamentalist preacher, Angie composes poetry in secret, and she is shocked when she hears her own words on the radio. Surely a higher power is calling her to Los Angeles. But the music is leading her to a shining star who is more than a man yet less than human—a true soulmate capable of changing her world in ways she never could have imagined. Multiple award–winning fantasist Nancy Springer reinvigorates the fallen-angel trope in a delightfully inventive and thought-provoking story of a celestial being who is unhappy in the service of a distant and unapproachable God. Metal Angel is an enthralling exploration of belief, spirituality, sexual awakening, and superstardom.

Book Description
Lilly And The Angel: A Journey's End "GIANT FLYING TURTLES! KILLER SOCK PIRANHAS! MAGICAL GIFT BOXES! SAVAGE TREE WARRIORS! SCRAP METAL MERCENARIES! PENCILED STRINGED ASSASSINS!--as if we haven't seen it all!" The conclusion to this epic three-part journey has finally arrived, and it seems as if Manacle Lillian Faithe Christians and Aegis Corinthian Angel Creation Of God are finally putting their differences aside and warming up to one another. But is everything as "nice" as it seems? It is now Friday afternoon, five days since the appearance of this scarred substitute angel to Lilly's home, and there still seems to be no true way of telling if the two are actually any closer to their individual freedoms than they were when they first met. Behind the scenes of Lilly's imagination looms the whisper of an eerie struggle of good and evil, as a new, unidentified, and viciously ruthless attacker has Snuggle Bug severely damaged and on the run within Lilly's mind. But this secret threat within her creativity may be spilling over into realms more dangerous than "just" her "imagination," and the consequences--for some, will prove to be quite fatal. A shattered Talion Shield--secret encrypted notes and protection deficits plague the scene as everything they've learned from Sunday up to this point will be called into account in this final installment. But this time, it's going to take more than Oni'mods, golden mystery stars, and Spirit Lenses to see their way clear as the sum of all their previous battles and narrow victories now hint at being merely "preparation" for the ultimate and most "final" of tests.

Book Description
"When Pierre Jovanovic was a reporter for Quotidien de Paris, he had just finished an interview and was driving home on a Silicon Valley freeway when he was suddenly hurled to the side of the car by a mysterious force. Seconds later, a bullet crashed through the windshield and buried itself in the back of the passenger's seat. Highway patrolmen told him that if he hadn't moved, he would have been killed instantly." "Shaken and curious, he began to compare notes with other journalists, many of whom were war-zone survivors. Most had had some kind of comparable experience of being snatched from death by an unseen hand." "Pierre began to interview authorities on near-death experience: Melvin Morse, Kenneth Ring, and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. He collected first-hand accounts of the appearance of spiritual beings from adults and children all over the world. Voraciously, he began to read about the lives and Angelic accounts of the saints." "The book is the sum of his investigations and includes eyewitness accounts of the experiences of pilots, doctors, and journalists; interviews with leading near-death researchers and scientists; interviews with modern saints and visionaries on their mystical experiences from the Middle Ages to the present."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
