A shifter sliced her wings away…and now an angel is trapped in hell. Or, trapped in the mortal realm. Same thing. Because to former angel Marna, living with the humans and the other paranormal beings is hell. A savage attack took her wings away, and all she wants to do is get revenge. Angels aren’t supposed to want revenge. They aren’t supposed to hate. They aren’t supposed to feel any emotion. But without her wings, Marna is powerless against the onslaught of human emotions that are bombarding her. She’s losing her control. She’s terrified. She’s desperate and… He wants to protect her. Panther shifter Tanner Chance wants to protect Marna. He found her in the woods after his own brother sliced away her beautiful wings. Tanner knows that Marna hates him, and all he wants to do is help her to heal. Unfortunately, Marna is being framed for a series of attacks and, as a cop, his job is to arrest her. But how the hell do you throw a fallen angel into jail? Simple. You don’t. You do team up with the angel and start trying to find the real killer. And that’s Tanner’s plan. Find the real killer. Clear Marna. But as they rush through the night and dodge the danger that chases them, Tanner’s inner beast recognizes Marna for what she really is…his mate. He craves her, he needs her…and he will do anything to claim her as his. He’d claw his way to heaven and rip his way through hell in order to possess her. Marna shouldn’t want Tanner. She shouldn’t feel the needs and lusts raging through her body. But when Tanner teaches her just how intense pleasure can feel, she starts to realize that maybe there is more to the man guarding her than just the beast he carries. And maybe…maybe there’s more to her than just being a lost angel. AVENGING ANGEL was originally released by Kensington Publishing in June of 2013. The book features an innocent angel who is about to be taught all about the virtues of sin by one very determined panther shifter. Hope you enjoy the paranormal ride.

The native of southern California—whom the author calls a “Procal”—inhabits the area of Los Angeles and its environs. He came to California because he was tired of something—usually cold weather—and he has become the most hobby- and leisure-conscious citizen in the U.S., devoted as he is to his barbecue, his swimming pool, his beaches, his deserts and his television set. Cynthia Hobart Lindsay describes a long list of Procal habits and habitats: his outrageous driving—which seems to be the most marked manifestation of his “restlessness”; the Sunset Strip which is frequented by the closest thing to a southern California beatnik; Hollywood parties; the penchant for the occult; Forest Lawn Cemetery—which also serves the community as an artistic and cultural center; the out-of-bounds areas—notably Pasadena; and the most recent complexity—the Dodgers. Presented with laughter, lifted eyebrows and affection, here is a wide-screen report on the Never-Never Land of Southern California, packed with bizarre but authentic historical, sociological and psychological facts and anecdotes.

Recipient of the 1995 Best Book Award from the Organizational Communication division of the Speech Communication Association "I have just finished reading Organizational Communication. This is a magnificent piece of work bringing together current and past scholarship to form a persuasive argument for awareness. I will bring this work to the attention of a graduate class I′m teaching on organizational change and team building. . . . Above all, I recommend it to instructors of organizational communication." --William Gorden, Kent State University The lines between our personal and professional lives are blurred--naturally, one affects the other. Organizational Communication is the first book on the subject to take into account the personal context we bring into an organization. In addition to the connections between home life, social life, and professional activities, author Cynthia Stohl asserts that we must pay close attention to the linkages that individuals develop and maintain within their organizational contexts. Each chapter illustrates the ways in which today′s changing social patterns, the increasing diversity of the workforce, the introduction of new communication technologies, and the challenges of global integration and competition create organizational and interpersonal networks that are intricately interwoven and complex. By reframing the network metaphor, the author challenges us to examine the ways in which organizational communication is always embedded in, and influenced by, overlapping systems of relationships. Organizational Communication is the ideal text for courses in organizational communication that focus on the organization as an integrated aspect of our lives, our culture, and our global society.
It is 1916 and the Hunters, their friends and their servants are settling down to the business of war. As conscription reaches into every household, Britain turns out men and shells in industrial numbers from army camps and munitions factories up and down the land. Bobby, the second Hunter son, gains his wings and joins his brother in France. Ethel, the under housemaid, embarks on a quest and Laura Hunter sets out on her biggest adventure yet. Diana, the elder Hunter daughter, finds a second chance at happiness in the last place she'd think of looking, and matriarch Beattie's past comes back to haunt her. But as the battle of the Somme grinds into action, the shadow of death falls over every part of the country, and the Hunter household cannot remain untouched. The Land of my Dreams is the third book in the War at Home series by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, author of the much-loved Morland Dynasty novels. Set against the real events of 1916, at home and on the front, this is a richly researched and a wonderfully authentic family drama featuring the Hunter family and their servants.
Known as "The Great Killer" and "The White Plague," few diseases influenced American life as much as tuberculosis. Sufferers migrated to mountain or desert climates believed to ameliorate symptoms. Architects designed homes with sleeping porches and verandas so sufferers could spend time in the open air. The disease even developed its own consumer culture complete with invalid beds, spittoons, sputum collection devices, and disinfectants. The "preventorium," an institution designed to protect children from the ravages of the disease, emerged in this era of Progressive ideals in public health. In this book, Cynthia A. Connolly provides a provocative analysis of public health and family welfare through the lens of the tuberculosis preventorium. This unique facility was intended to prevent TB in indigent children from families labeled irresponsible or at risk for developing the disease. Yet, it also held deeply rooted assumptions about class, race, and ethnicity. Connolly goes further to explain how the child-saving themes embedded in the preventorium movement continue to shape children's health care delivery and family policy in the United States.
Cynthia Weber presents a stimulating new study of how Americans construct their identity and the moral values that inform their foreign policy. She details how films released between 9/11 and Gulf War II reflect raging debates about US foreign policy and fundamental debates about what it means to be an American.
When hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and other disasters strike, we count our losses, search for causes, commiserate with victims, and initiate relief efforts. Amply illustrated and expansively researched, Inventing Disaster explains the origins and development of this predictable, even ritualized, culture of calamity over three centuries, exploring its roots in the revolutions in science, information, and emotion that were part of the Age of Enlightenment in Europe and America. Beginning with the collapse of the early seventeenth-century Jamestown colony, ending with the deadly Johnstown flood of 1889, and highlighting fires, epidemics, earthquakes, and exploding steamboats along the way, Cynthia A. Kierner tells horrific stories of culturally significant calamities and their victims and charts efforts to explain, prevent, and relieve disaster-related losses. Although how we interpret and respond to disasters has changed in some ways since the nineteenth century, Kierner demonstrates that, for better or worse, the intellectual, economic, and political environments of earlier eras forged our own twenty-first-century approach to disaster, shaping the stories we tell, the precautions we ponder, and the remedies we prescribe for disaster-ravaged communities.
