How Does He Love Me?

A Collection of Love Sonnets

By: Brad Lussier

If you love words well-chosen, the enticing turn of a phrase, and the rhythm of ten artful beats to a line, you will enjoy this collection of sonnets. However, if you have ever found yourself helplessly infatuated, the prisoner of an overwhelming and delightful passion, and captive to a ravenous hunger that only those eyes, that smile, and that voice can satisfy, you will love this book! Appropriating the wisdom of C. S. Lewis from The Four Loves and Pope Benedict XVI from Deus Caritas Est, Brad Lussier helps to close the gap between Eros and Agape and offers a fresh understanding of divine love. The sonnets in this collection will transport you to another era when those smitten penned their love, fourteen lines at a time.

No Secrets

A Michael Moreland Story

By: Brad Lussier

In the spring of 1939, life at Highfield, a twenty-two-room vacation home on nine hundred acres in Suffolk on Prince Edward Island, should prove idyllic. Michael Moreland, the superintendent of the manor, and Susan Moncrieff, the daughter of Sir Richard and Lady Richard Moncrieff, Highfield’s owners, look forward to their wedding just a few months away. Susan and her mother have arrived on the island only recently, sent by Sir Richard from Clifton Manor, the Moncrieff family home in Suffolk, England. A retired rear admiral of the Royal Navy, Sir Richard serves as a senior SIS strategist in London, monitoring the growth of the Nazi war machine on the continent. Convinced that war is imminent, he purchased Highfield to provide for the safety of his wife and daughter. With two sons serving as officers in the Royal Navy, and certain that war is imminent, the family braces for what seems to be the inevitable. With German operatives newly detected on the island, and German U-boats already on patrol in the North Atlantic, how will the island and her people fare as they face the threat of the next war?

Michael’s Secret

By: Brad Lussier

In the late summer of 1938, Rear-Admiral Sir Richard Moncrieff, a decorated veteran of the Royal Navy and senior strategist of Britain's SIS, monitors the daily growth of Hitler's war machine, convinced that another European war is imminent. Frustrated with the Prime Minister and others in London who prefer to cast blind eyes on the military threat growing in Germany, Moncrieff purchased Highfield, an estate on Prince Edward Island, Canada, one year ago. If a German invasion threatens England and his family home, Clifton Manor, in Suffolk, Moncrieff plans to evacuate his wife and daughter to Highfield. Michael Moreland, the third-generation superintendent of Clifton Manor, has spent a year preparing Highfield for the arrival of the Moncrieff family. Moreland, secretly SIS trained under Moncrieff, has skills ranging from horsemanship to cryptography. As war looms and the Moncrieff family arrives in Canada, a romance between Michael and Susan Moncrieff rekindles. However, each holds a secret that threatens to make their union impossible. With German U-boats patrolling the North Atlantic, Panzer tank divisions poised to invade the Low Countries, and Hitler's Luftwaffe eager to bomb London, how will life on Prince Edward Island change when war is declared in September 1939?

Secrets Lie Still

A Michael Moreland Story

By: Brad Lussier

Third in a series after Michael’s Secret and No Secrets, Secrets Lie Still follows life at Highfield, an estate on Prince Edward Island beginning in September of 1939. Well aware of the growth of the Nazi war machine in Germany and its threats to the UK, a long-time senior strategist in Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, Rear Admiral (Ret.) Sir Richard Moncrieff, evacuated his wife and daughter to Highfield from Suffolk, England, in 1938. Sir Richard plans to continue his work from Highfield if German air strikes reach his SIS offices in London. When Germany attacks Poland on September 3, 1939, the world is plunged into war once again. While Sir Richard’s two sons serve the Royal Navy at sea under constant peril of U-boat attacks, the war finds its way to Highfield in a covert attack that threatens the lives of his wife, their expectant daughter, and her husband, Michael Moreland, a SIS operative and Highfield’s original superintendent. Amid all the perils that war brings, secrets still find ways to endanger lives and relationships among Highfield’s denizens and friends. While war menaces from without, some discover that secrets threatening their peace lie within.

Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places

By: Brad Steiger

A frightening collection of true ghost stories, which will turn skeptics and nonbelievers into people who sleep with one eye open! Ancient philosophers suggested that the appearance of spirits is evidence that we are part of a larger community of intelligences, a universe of interrelated species, both physical and nonphysical. Master ghost hunter and best-selling author Brad Steiger invites you to join him as he explores the many dark and nightmarish pathways leading to this shadowy world of spirits and hauntings. Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places is the defining work on spirit phenomena. It is a comprehensive classification of the spirit world touching on every possibility from time travel to parallel universes, presenting the full range of ghostly manifestations and haunted locations. A major work sure to be heralded by paranormal enthusiasts (whatever their corporeal state). Do you know the difference between poltergeists and spirits of the dead? The differences between spirits residue, spirit parasites and spirit masqueraders? With its 30 topical chapters, Real Ghosts, covers those differences and many more: Spirits Seen at Death Beds and Funerals Haunted Churches, Cemeteries, and Burial Grounds Phantoms on Roads and Highways Battlefields Where Phantom Armies Eternally Wage War Speaking to Spirits: The Mystery of Mediumship Animal Ghosts—Domesticated and Wild Spirit Parasites That Possessed Apparitions of Religious Figures Haunted Hotels, Motels, and Inns Did you know that ghosts still haunt Ohio’s State Reformatory, otherwise known as Shawshank? Or that the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is home to some of the most famous ghosts in the world? With Real Ghosts, you’ll discover that Abe Lincoln regularly consulted “spooks” and mediums, Rudolph Valentino haunts his old mansion, and the ghosts of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, Katharine Howard, Jane Seymour, Elizabeth I, and King George III all still haunt some of England’s most famous castles. You’ll also learn how to perform a cleansing ritual to rid your home of unwanted spectral visitors. More than a collection of true ghost stories, this book plunks you square into the middle of the eerie action with captivating stories that would be at home at any midnight campfire. The only difference is these stories aren't urban legends employing hooks, needles, or long, metal fingernails for their scare. These stories exist outside of the mind and live right next door to every one of us. Real Ghosts shouldn't be read when you are home alone and the lights begin to flicker!

Lombardi Dies, Orr Flies, Marshall Cries

The Sports Legacy of 1970

By: Brad Schultz

The year 1970 was grim in the United States and worldwide. Vietnam, continuing civil and political divisions, a fear of growing lawlessness, all seemed to point to a bleak future. The 70s were also a time when traditional boundaries were being challenged, from the color of skin to the length of hair. Sports events, issues, and athletes from the very first year of this tumultuous decade reflect the dramatic changes that were taking place around the country. Nowhere was this more evident than in college football, where the University of Texas became the last all-white national champion in 1970, even as a freshman still ineligible to play was standing by to bring about integration. In Lombardi Dies, Orr Flies, Marshall Cries: The Sports Legacy of 1970, Brad Schultz covers the most significant and momentous sports stories from this single year in American history, reflecting on the deeper impact of these events both on the sporting world and on society as a whole. Integration, homosexuality, drugs, lawsuits, and tragedy all crossed the sporting landscape in 1970, including pivotal moments such as student-athlete protests against racism in college football, the debut of Monday Night Football, a challenge to baseball’s reserve clause, and the plane crash carrying Marshall University’s football team that killed everyone on board. Schultz tells these stories and more, thoughtfully placing them within the context of the political, social, and cultural events taking place across the country and around the world. Many of the athletes from 1970 may no longer be with us, their records may have been broken, and younger athletes may have taken their place, but forty-five years later, it is time to look back and reflect on the significance of the events that took place in this unforgettable sports year. Chronicling a remarkable time in the history of American sports, this book will interest historians, sports fans, and those wanting to learn more about the impact of sports on culture and society.

Un-Dead TV

The Ultimate Guide to Vampire Television

By: Brad Middleton

Vampires are ubiquitous in our popular culture--from movies to television, in fiction and art, and even within the hallowed halls of academia. But in the not-so-distant past, these undead creatures held more fear than fascination; they lived in the shadows and were the stuff of nightmares. In 1897, Bram Stoker introduced Dracula to the Western world--and our concept of vampires was changed forever. For over sixty years, the undead have bled the television airwaves, appearing in every type of programming imaginable. Un-Dead TV catalogues over one thousand unique vampire appearances—and is the first book of its kind to explore this phenomenon to the extent that it truly deserves.

Resolving the Russo-Japanese Territorial Dispute

Hokkaido-Sakhalin Relations

By: Brad Williams

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Resolving the Russo-Japanese Territorial Dispute

Hokkaido-Sakhalin Relations

By: Brad Williams

The unresolved territorial dispute between Japan and Russia over the South Kuril Islands/Northern Territories remains the largest obstacle to concluding a peace treaty and fully normalising bilateral relations between the two nations. This book traces the evolution of transnational relations between subnational public authorities in Hokkaido and Sakhalin, examining the interrelationship between these ties and the Russo-Japanese territorial dispute. The book investigates why the development of Hokkaido-Sakhalin relations has failed to create, at the subnational level, an environment conducive to resolving (kankyo seibi) the South Kuril Islands/Northern Territories dispute. Brad Williams suggests that kankyo seibi has not worked primarily because Russia’s troubled transition to a liberal democratic market economy has manifested itself in ways that have ultimately increased the South Kuril Islands’ intrinsic and instrumental value for the Sakhalin public and regional elite. This in turn has limited the impact from the twin transnational processes of cultural and economic exchange in alleviating opposition to the transferral of these disputed islands to Japan. Drawing upon a wealth of primary and secondary sources from both countries, this book utilises levels of analysis and an analytical framework that incorporates national and subnational, as well as governmental and non-governmental forces to discuss a relatively unexplored aspect of Russo-Japanese relations. As such, Resolving the Russo-Japanese Territorial Dispute will appeal to students and scholars of Asian politics, international relations and post-communist states.
