Who can you trust when you can't even see? Life used to be so easy when she was a royal. All she had to worry about was her wardrobe and makeup. Tess Barrett doesn't know who to trust anymore. Alice, maybe, the long-time manager of the Barrett household, but Alice has all the warmth and charm of a rattlesnake on a snowy night. Not exactly the kind of person Tess wants to cuddle up to and confide in. Then there's her personal assistant Oliver, who's been acting like a jealous middle-school kid whenever their friend Derek is around. And Yoshi, the gardener and Tess's martial arts teacher, suddenly seems to have secrets Tess never imagined. Tess even thinks her Uncle Travis might not be that bad since he let her go to homecoming, but he's let Robyn back into their lives, the woman who Tess is sure tried to come between her parents. Homecoming was the worst disaster imaginable. Bad enough that Oliver tried to kiss her (eww), but then a hired assassin attempted to kill her in front of half the school. Her quick reaction when he hesitated was all that saved her. Now, the principal wants her gone unless Travis provides extra security and metal detectors at all the entrances. Everyone hates her for it. Someone hates her so much that he-or she-posts a porno video made to look like Tess is the star. With mid-term exams coming up, the deadline for college applications looming, and her AP Chemistry teacher threatening to make her drop the course, Tess is feeling more pressure than any senior should. None of it will make a bit of difference if she doesn't find out who's trying to have her killed. Tess, Oliver and Derek follow the money. When she discovers the trail leads to one of the most powerful men in Washington, D.C., and to someone in her father's company, she's no longer sure she wants to know the truth. Once the wheels are set in motion, though, there's no turning back. And with every step she takes, Tess learns the conspiracy against her and everything she holds dear is far deeper and more dangerous than any of them had imagined. She'll have to trust someone, and it will take every resource she can muster to get to the heart of what these dark forces want...if she survives.
Part memoir, part confession, part journal, Bodies Adjacent is the story of two lives told by each one about the other. The novelist Ardyth Kennelly and her physician husband, the Jewish Viennese émigré Egon V. Ullman, began their unlikely love affair in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley in the 1930s and continued it for nearly three decades in Portland-contending first with the Depression, then the disruptions of the war, and finally sudden fame, as well as their own personal demons.Writing thirty years after Egon's untimely death in 1962, Ardyth looks back with a deeper understanding of their lives than she had possessed during her self-conscious younger years. She tells us something of her early life and of Egon's history; laments her ignorance of the love he must have felt for his home country; shares her impressions of the Jewish refugees and émigrés he knew in Portland; remembers his loving and indulgent care for her; confesses her sorrow and regret for how she treated him in his illness and death; and spins some fanciful stories to illustrate how their life together began and ended.In the middle of her memoir, Ardyth places the journal that Egon kept-at her suggestion-during the years when she was writing her first five novels (1947-56). His fascination with her talent, intellect, and charm never wavered through all their personal troubles. Their shared love of books and the desire to write brought them together and remained a major focus of their life in marriage.Bodies Adjacent is a captivating and singular love story-painfully honest, yet utterly enchanting and sweet.

The inhabitants, one of whom is Alec's father, have been brought thither at various times by similar means. Tradition holds that they find themselves in purgatory. Among other things, Alec learns that certain of the laws of logic seem to failing locally, resulting in the actualization of "unactualized possible," or fictional, characters.

"God has purposed for you to live a supernatural life!" This book is about the results of God instructing the author to write a book about the healings and miracles he has witnessed in his life since his salvation and baptism in the Holy Spirit. Dennison's desire because of his exciting journey is to inspire and encourage all believers to trust God to do what He promised we can do in the power of the Holy Spirit to set people free from demonic torment and heal the sick so they can "Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy"(Revelation 19:10). Some of the last instructions Jesus gave His disciples include promises and commands to all believers: "They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover" (Mark 16:18); "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto Me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8). You'll be inspired by each testimony as "God confirmed the word with signs following" (Mark 16:20) proving that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). Dennison has witnessed God work thousands of miracle-healings in nearly 30 nations from the Americas to Fiji, India, Kenya, Nepal, Philippines, South Korea, Uganda, and Australia where he currently resides with his wife Teresa, who did the artwork for the front cover.

The Psalms of Babylon are not for the faint of heart or the easily offended. It is a book that challenges, provokes, and entertains. It is a book that reveals the dark side of the human soul and the sadistic beauty of poetic language. It is a book that will make you think, feel, and wonder. If you love Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, Franz Kafka, Sylvia Plath, or Allen Ginsberg, then you will love The Psalms of Babylon. If you want something new, original, and daring, then you will love The Psalms of Babylon. Lastly, If you are ready to embark on a journey into Oblivion itself, you will love The Psalms of Babylon.Reviews"These poems are criminally energetic in their ecstasy and despair. What we have is a mash-up of Christianity and The Flowers of Evil. Jesus makes his cameo appearances, but Baudelaire is always around. The poems move fast! Because G.R. Tomaini has a wide-ranging intellect, he can stand at his own personal pinball table with forty balls in play at the same time among the crazy flippers of sin, grace, failure, sex, death, bitterness, and love. No matter where they end up, the balls all bounce off the boards of Malaise and Joy. The poems, many of them haikus, look to heaven as they channel the great, syphilitic French transgressor but also point to Emily Dickinson in their frantic departures from regular syntax and punctuation. G.R. Tomaini's collection is startling, strange, passionate, and unpredictable. He is a poet to watch in the years ahead." - John Foy, Morningside Poetry Series Coordinator, New York City "G.R. Tomaini is that rare thing these days, a poet-philosopher with critical intelligence and an open mind." - David M. Katz "These sharp poems can be read as psycho-philosophical lessons, for the practice of change." - Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, translator of Songs for Kali "In the enigmatic realm of contemporary verse, G.R. Tomaini stands as an American Goethe, weaving the tapestry of modern life with poetic finesse." - Cody Sexton, Managing Editor at A Thin Slice of Anxiety and founder of Anxiety Press
