Book Description
Over two million Girl Scouts worldwide owe their membership to its founder, Juliette Low—a woman who, as a girl growing up in the post–Civil War South, refused to accept that girls couldn’t do everything boys could. Whether angrily defending her friend against taunts of schoolmates or rescuing a kitten from the highest branches of a tree, Low possessed the spirit and strength of character that would lead her in adulthood to act as a world-famous advocate for girls. Children will experience Low’s joy at the gift of her very own horse, feel her excitement at attending her first dance, and share her frustration with being thrust in to the role of a well-behaved 19th-century young lady who would rather have been riding, creating sculptures, or climbing.

Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
On far away Sarran, the Warriorpair Jonal and Tonas, along with the rest of the planet's males, lost their Fem when the Zyptz unleased a toxin that killed only females. Sarrans mates in Triad, two males with one female, and without fems, their civilization stared extinction in the face. But the Sarrans are tough and smart. They searched the galaxy for a genetically compatible species and found Earth. They were told the Earthen fems were an inferior species, with many unable to establish the psychic link essential to the triad bond, but they had to try. En route, from as far out as the asteroid belt, they heard fem voices calling to the mates. Success! But their joy is short-lived, because the human fems are in pain -- they are dying. The Zyptz found Earth before the Sarrans and unleashed their toxin. Admirals Jonal and Tonas are determined to obtain a fem at almost any cost, and rush to save Anya, because they've already mated with her in their minds.

Book Description
Can he protect the woman who ignites his beast's deepest desires? A gripping shapeshifter/human romance! Black panther shifter Jace Jones lost nearly his entire family in the clan war known as the Darktime. Scarred by the deaths, Jace pours his soul into rebuilding the clan. The only person who has a claim on his heart is his niece, until an attack by a fae assassin leaves him dying on a human's doorstep. Nursing student Evie Morningstar is doing her best to raise her teenage brother on a waitress's pay. She has no time for men until the night she finds Jace bleeding out in her backyard. After she saves the troubled shifter's life, the two take the first steps toward a happily ever after. But an assassin is still after Jace, and now Evie is a target, too… Can Jace protect the woman who ignites his beast's deepest desires? "Primally exciting, sexy and downright fun, Saving Jace is an absolute winner!" ~InD'Tale Magazine *BEST SHIFTER NOVEL of 2018 ~ Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer's Choice Awards* NOTE: Saving Jace is the start of the Darktime Trilogy featuring the Baltimore Earth Fada Clan. All books in the Fada Shapeshifter Series are standalone with an HEA, but the stories and people interconnect. If you crave dark shifters, treacherous fae and intense emotional storylines, this book is for you. EXCERPT: Someone was watching her. Evie gripped her keys and glanced around. Across the alley, a pair of luminous green eyes stared at her from the shadows. Her heart kicked into a gallop. "Jace? Is that you?" Please let it be him. He stepped out of the shadows. She blew out a breath. It was Jace. He crossed the alley in a few long, loose strides. An atavistic tremor went down her spine. This was the real Jace—and he was nothing like the injured, feverish victim of last week. No, this man was dark. Powerful. Raw-boned. A panther in a T-shirt and jeans. She squared her shoulders and lifted her chin, because damn it, she'd saved the man's life. She refused to let him spook her. He stopped a few feet away. "Hello, Evie." He was bigger than she remembered, but then, last week he'd been hunched over nursing his injuries. Now she realized he was a good half foot taller than her with the lean, hard build of a soldier. Another shiver went down her spine—but this one had nothing to do with fear. THE FADA. Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's infamous bacchanals. They're dark, ruthless, untamed...and when they love, it's forever.

The Hidden Language of Cats

Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Descended from shy, solitary North African wild cats, domestic cats set up homes with devoted owners all over the world by learning how to talk to us. This book translates—in case you missed anything. A renowned cat behavior scientist of over thirty years, Dr. Sarah Brown has been at the forefront of research in the field, discovering how cats use tail signals to interact with each other and their owners. Now, she reveals the previously unexplored secrets of cat communication in a book that is both scientifically grounded and utterly delightful. Each chapter dives into a different form of communication, including vocalizations, tail signals, scents, rubbing, and ear movements. The iconic meow, for example, is rarely used between adult cats—cleverly mimicking the cries of a human infant, the meow is a feline invention for conversing with people. Through observing the behavior of two cat colonies in rural England, readers will also have the opportunity to glimpse into the lives of some of the cats behind Dr. Brown's science. Can we understand what cats’ meows and other signals mean? How do cats actually perceive us? And how can we use this information to inform how we talk back to our feline friends? Referencing historical records, exploring modern scientific studies of cat-human communication, and including simple, elegant line drawings, The Hidden Language of Cats is perfect for any cat lover who wants to learn more about their companion.

The Jersey Shore Mysteries

Publisher: Crossroad Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 815
Book Description
Now in one volume, the first three books of the Jersey Shore Mysteries DEAD MAN'S FLOAT HER OLD HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH HAS CLEANED UP HIS ACT … Annie Hardaway is a reluctant expert on house-cleaning, horticulture, and pet care, who specializes in making some of the country's most famous how-to writers look good in print. But when her long-ago high school crush is found dead in their New Jersey shore hometown, Anne has no idea "how-to" find out the truth. BY WASHING UP ON SHORE … When Tigger Mills returned home to archly conservative devoutly religious Oceanside Heights, no one was happy to see him. Tigger left twenty years ago after being accused of setting fire to an old hotel that killed the owner's little girl. Though the always maintained his innocence, no one believed him — except then teenager Anne Hardaway. After Tigger's lifeless body is pulled from the surf, everyone but Anne assumes it was suicide. Now this woman with a relentless knack for research makes it her mission to tackle the town's closed minds, curious suspicions and ancient lies, to dredge the past and uncover a twenty-year-old motive for present-day murder. DEATH AT HIGH TIDE Oceanside Heights Becomes Hollywood By The Sea In the quaint New Jersey seaside town of Ocean Heights, freelance ghostwriter Anne Hardaway is frustrated by her latest assignment: a tell-all autobiography of Mallory Loving, the former local sexpot who has made it big in movies. Even though Mallory's new film is being shot in town, Anne finds that her high-profile subject is a first-class prima donna. And Anne isn't the only one having a hard time with the ego-driven star. But Murder Wasn't In The Script Treating the film's crew, cast, locals and her husband like personal minions, Mallory is a woman whose popularity, like her career, is on the wane. As several accidents delay shooting, a series of threatening letters from a deranged fan unsettle the star's fragile nerves. In the midst of the turmoil, the actress disappears-only to resurface as a corpse. Though the police rule the death as an accident, Anne suspects murder. Using the biography as her calling card, Anne begins an investigation into Mallory's murder to determine which suspect is only "acting" innocent. DEATH'S A BEACH A Brutal Storm Unearths A 20-Year-Old Secret … An out-of-season nor'easter tears across the New Jersey coast, and the beach community of Oceanside Heights is a mess. Ghostwriter Anne Hardaway's cottage-by-the-sea has seen better days to begin with, but she reluctantly decides to repair her rotting basement floor. Never mind that her newest assignment is writing a "how-to" home repair book for women—she still can barely tell a flat head from a Phillips, a lack of skill she's grateful for when her handyman finds a twenty-year-old skeleton buried in the dirt beneath her basement's wooden floor. And The Forecast Calls For A Chance Of Scattered Murders When her gruesome guest turns out to be the psychologist who treated her mother in the mid-70's, Anne must consider whether her own mother could have been the killer. Some discreet investigating soon leads Anne to Sunnydale Nursing Home where elderly clients are dying at an alarming rate and the staff makes Nurse Ratched look endearing. Before she can say riptide, Anne is hip deep in the residue of a killer storm and uncovering a tale of dark desire that makes the climate ripe for more murder.
