Book Description
In this book, the author looks back at 56 years of personal experiences with his own pointers and setters, and those of members of the research team that he came later to lead. They studied the population biology, territorial behaviour, habitats and environment of red grouse and ptarmigan in Scotland. The joint achievements of men and dogs elicited a fresh understanding of populations and behaviour of animals in general, drawing international attention and recognition to the human workers. It is time to sing for recognition of the dogs, because the human achievements would have been immeasurably less had the faithful dogs not joined them to form a crucial inspirational partnership. The author tells of that partnership, its development and fruition. The book is mainly the author’s personal account, describing how the human workers gradually gained insight and experience that made the partnership ever more effective. Because the author’s dogs lived with him and his family, and the others in the team who had dogs usually kept them at home, part of the book tells of these relationships. Personal anecdotes and humorous events enliven the text. The author knew some other workers who used dogs to aid their research on wild animals, and visited them in Canada, USA, and Norway. Also he was in close touch with other colleagues who used dogs for wildlife research in France and northern Italy. A valuable international aspect to the book has been contributed by a few of these colleagues. Numerous photographs illustrate the text, showing dogs and men in fieldwork together and apart, as well as portraits of both. Hunters, shooters, researchers and dog enthusiasts in general will enjoy and appreciate this book

Cara does not approve of Josh visiting The Point but that night she turns up at his door bloodied and much more dead than usual, and accepts Josh's help to escape from her much older and much crazier Sire Leopold.

The Vampire's Choice A crazy vampire or an ice-queen human, it's not much of a choice but it is the one Kyle has to make. Kyle may be undead, but he still lives at home with his Gran and works in a supermarket stacking shelves with his mates. His life hasn't changed much, apart from being dead and having to suck blood from live humans to survive. Luckily he knows The Point, a vampire bar where the humans are hot, tasty and eager to please. Well, most of them are. Janine is the exception. She is cold and distant, but from the first time he meets her, Kyle is smitten. But he has a problem. A hot but crazy female vamp has got him in her sights and she'll stop at nothing to get him all to herself. Kyle has a decision to make and it will change his afterlife forever. Who will he choose?

Steve—who had been a womanizer in life and was even more so in death—prowls the Point using his vampiric wiles to get the blood and sex he craves. He's always looking for his next meal and when he sees a tall, curvy beauty with a red scarf around her neck, he thinks he's found it. Eloise is different—she's shy and needs encouragement, and Steve just can't get her out of his mind. He has to take his time, get to know her and slowly seduce her. When she disappears, leaving only a note begging him not to pursue her further, he can't help himself and ends up in the service of George Aquino, a vampire crime boss with a penchant for twisted and cruel torture and a dungeon full of prisoners. A daring rescue, a difficult choice and love against the odds. Do you dare visit the point of evil?

On the run from a creepy, d-bag ex, who happens to be a warlock, she finds out she’s inherited an island. Sort of. It’s sort of an island and she’s sort of inherited it. Vivi has to do some work to keep that island, and naturally, the work is of the magic kind. And she’s sworn off magic. Quick Alvarez is more than head of security for Skull Point Cay. He’s the adopted son of the last island owner. By all rights, he should be the heir to the island. After all, he’s invested in seeing his adopted mother’s dreams come true. But he’s not the magic type. No, Quick’s a wolf shifter. And the island can’t be inherited by anyone who doesn’t do magic. And by damn, Quick has no magic skills. Now he’s got to protect the island from Vivianne Devereaux, while at the same time protect Vivianne from the forces that seem hellbent on killing her. The fact that he’s attracted to her, that’s not a bonus. At all. CRIMES Rissa Belgrande’s always known there was something different about her. Something that made her a damned good detective.

He’s not meant to be a detective. Suddenly, he finds himself as an unofficial partner to a hot New Orleans detective. He’d quit, except that this mission could clear his friend Quick Alvarez. And the fact that he kinda likes this detective. A little. Maybe. Okay, maybe more than a little. SCARS Skull Point Cay is dying. The island’s suffering from natural catastrophes and the inhabitants are scared. It’s up to the Skull Point Alliance of witches and shifters to come to the rescue and discover what is stealing the island’s magic and at the same time destroying the wonderful habitat that has been enjoyed for hundreds of years! Join Quick, Vivienne, Maze, and Rissa on another adventure as they save the beloved Skull Point Cay island!
