Book Description
Innocent people are dying. The forces of evil are getting out of line and somebody needs to kick some asses and take some names. That's Alexa's job. Alexa Hernandez is a Knight of the Right Hand. She stands between you and the forces of evil who corrupt your soul and think that you'd make a yummy appetizer. The Sword of Final Banishment is at her side. Angels who won't speak English are watching over her, and her mother is being nosy from thousands of miles away. Alexa's got this, even if demons and darkness take her work personally. She can hunt them, but they'll return the favor. “James Crawford’s quirky wit and imagination mesh remarkably well in this action-packed clash of angelic and demonic forces. James does a wonderful job painting a vivid picture of the epic struggle between good and evil using rhyming prose to hilarious effect, but it is the heart injected into this story that kept me turning pages late at night.” - Mark Reefe, author of The Road to Jericho, El Sendero, and The Valley of Hinnom.

Book Description
In the mid-1870s, the experimental therapy of lamb blood transfusion spread like an epidemic across Europe and the USA. Doctors tried it as a cure for tuberculosis, pellagra and anemia; proposed it as a means to reanimate seemingly dead soldiers on the battlefield. It was a contested therapy because it meant crossing boundaries and challenging taboos. Was the transfusion of lamb blood into desperately sick humans really defensible? The book takes the reader on a journey into hospital wards and lunatic asylums, physiological laboratories and 19th century wars. It presents a fascinating story of medical knowledge, ambitions and concerns - a story that provides lessons for current debates on the morality of medical experimentation and care.
