The Pegasus Passion

The Soul Keepers

By: Victoria James

In a remarkable debut - dynamic, expressive, and entirely distinctive - Victoria James weaves a tale of adventure and self discovery, bringing to life unique characters and a heroine whose journey forces her to see who she is and what she is capable of. The year is 1666 and Jillian dreams of a life of adventure beyond the barriers of her seemingly normal existence. In an instant, her simple life vanishes when she is taken by pirates on a journey where Jillian discovers who she truly is. Met with danger and adventure beyond her wildest dreams, Jillian finds that she has powers and abilities that she doesn't fully understand. She finds love with Gavin, the handsome first mate, and when they first consummate their love, unbeknownst to them, a family prophecy is fulfilled; a prophecy that holds captive, a family of women who are the keepers of the souls. Terrance, the Captain of the Pegasus, fell in love with Sybil Chandler the first moment he saw her seventeen years before. His mission was to take Sybil and Jillian with him to live as a family. But, when Sybil refused to come, he was left with no choice but to leave without her and take only Jillian. Little did he know that his actions would not only change his life but cause a chain of events that would guide them all on a voyage of enchantment and danger. Evil finds its way into their lives. Through unimaginable strife, adventure and survival, Jillian lives to discover how to use her powers to conquer the evil that is determined to destroy them all and become a part of her forever.

Too Much Man

By: Katy James

A grumpy former hockey player and a bisexual coffee-shop owner refuse to commit—to themselves or each other—in this fun, flirty debut Piper Welborn has created a warm, welcoming space for all in her queer-inclusive coffee shop, even if the long hours came at the cost of her love life. But she’s not ready to welcome one man in particular—a grumpy, muscular former hockey player. His smoldering presence is a temptation and a challenge to her long-standing vow not to date cis men. Gavin Williams has no business starting a relationship, least of all with a woman he’s not sure even likes him. He can’t resist the Friendly Bean’s hot, pink-haired owner, but a casual fling is all he can commit to. He’s hoping to leave town for the next stage in his career…if he ever gets the call with the job offer. A friends-with-benefits arrangement is perfect for them both—but neither is ready for the feelings that hit. When the post-hockey life Gavin always dreamed of is suddenly within his grasp, they’ll both have to make a choice: hold tight to what they thought life should look like, or work together to build something new.

Tares Among the Wheat Volume Two

By: H. Melvin James

“Tares among the Wheat” By “H. Melvin James” This second volume concludes the two established primary framed story-lines that traverse the entirety of the novel. Herein, mysteries of mysticism, religion, and ancient legend, as introduced in the previous book, are granted explanation and plausibility. As the story lines converge toward simultaneous conclusion at the end of the novel, other mysteries arise and are resolved. Events and experiences described in this volume include extremes of sorrow, horror, joy, and romance. In this saga, as in life, there are those who meet more suffering than comfort, but the balance of the aggregate, inevitably and eventually, tilts toward triumph, justice, peace, and contentment. Redemption, as in reality, is both compromised and realized. Episodes herein expose the cruelty of humanity as the torments of warriors and the crimes of civilians. Ultimately however, the unconquerable collective of human decency, determination, and faith prevails. Senseless murders punctuate the merciless decade of the horrific Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. In this volume those murders, as well as other crimes, fraud, assault, and theft, are brought to the justice of mortals, while the non-statutory transgressions of greed, power, vanity, and selfishness are left to the infallible and certain justice of the Almighty. Surprises for the reader, pleasing and teasing, are unveiled in this volume. These story lines also reclaim the obvious axiom, our predecessors often do not succeed for themselves, in their own lifetimes, but they plant the fields of wheat for their descendants to reap the harvest, and since no soul takes anything from this earth in his departing, is not one’s legacy the only true tangible success?

I'm Your Man

By: Timothy James Beck

Tuesday, 9:35 a.m. To do list: 1.Try to smile when people mention my backstabbing, lying, ex-boyfriend, Daniel. 2.Ply my ugly cat, Dexter, with some catnip--the good stuff--to keep him away from my last fur-free Hugo Boss suit. 3.Decide whether or not having a baby with my best friend Gretchen is the craziest, stupidest, most insane, incredible thing I will ever do. At thirtysomething, Blaine Dunhill has a great career in fashion advertising, a fab NYC apartment, and some loyal friends that he's trying to share amicably with his ex, a famous soap star. Working in the big-time cosmetics world is all about glamour and artifice ("Like Barbies that can talk"), but what the self-professed nice guy from Wisconsin really wants is something and someone real to come home to. And then his best friend Gretchen makes him a really tempting offer: Since neither one of them has found the real thing yet, why don't they start a family together? Suddenly, as life becomes a whirl of ultrasounds, online baby registries, baby names (Civil Liberty, anyone?), and other adjustments, Blaine discovers something surprising: No one is more attractive than an expectant father. Now, in the wacky, gossipy world of fashion and celebrity, where coming out has never been more "in," and the words "gay dad" are synonymous with "way hot," Blaine is in for the wildest ride of his life...and a shock that will change everything...

Sicily '43

The First Assault on Fortress Europe

By: James Holland

Sicily '43

The First Assault on Fortress Europe

By: James Holland

A history of World War II’s Operation Husky, the first Allied attack on European soil, by the acclaimed author of Normandy ’44. On July 10, 1943, the largest amphibious invasion ever mounted took place, larger even than the Normandy invasion eleven months later: 160,000 American, British, and Canadian troops came ashore or were parachuted onto Sicily, signaling the start of the campaign to defeat Nazi Germany on European soil. Operation Husky, as it was known, was enormously complex, involving dramatic battles on land, in the air, and at sea. Yet, despite its paramount importance to ultimate Allied victory, and its drama, very little has been written about the thirty-eight-day Battle for Sicily. Based on his own battlefield studies in Sicily and on much new research, James Holland’s Sicily ’43 offers a vital new perspective on a major turning point in World War II and a chronicle of a multi-pronged campaign in a uniquely diverse and contained geographical location. The characters involved—Generals George Patton and Bernard Montgomery among many—were as colorful as the air and naval battles and the fighting on the ground across the scorching plains and mountaintop of Sicily were brutal. But among Holland’s great skills is incorporating the experience of on-the-ground participants on all sides—from American privates Tom and Dee Bowles and Tuskegee fighter pilot Charlie Dryden to British major Hedley Verity and Canadian lieutenant Farley Mowat (later a celebrated author), to German and Italian participants such as Wilhelm Schmalz, brigade commander in the Hermann Göring Division, or Luftwaffe fighter pilot major Johannes “Macky” Steinhoff and to Italian combatants, civilians and mafiosi alike—which gives readers an intimate sense of what occurred in July and August 1943. Emphasizing the significance of Allied air superiority, Holland overturns conventional narratives that have criticized the Sicily campaign for the vacillations over the plan, the slowness of the Allied advance and that so many German and Italian soldiers escaped to the mainland; rather, he shows that clearing the island in 38 days against geographical challenges and fierce resistance was an impressive achievement. A powerful and dramatic account by a master military historian, Sicily ’43 fills a major gap in the narrative history of World War II. Praise for Sicily ’43 A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Named a Best History Book of the Year by the Wall Street Journal “Academic histories are all very well, but at times it is a pleasure to sit back and wallow in an old-school military tale of flinty-eyed men doing battle. That is what James Holland, a seasoned craftsman, offers in Sicily ’43.” —New York Times Book Review “Crisp, detailed, and entertaining. Holland refuses to let the legends overshadow the flesh-and-blood soldiers who fought, bled, and died. Sicily ‘43 is an outstanding look at a stepping-stone to victory.” —Wall Street Journal

Wha daur Meddle wi Me

A history of the Elliot “Riding” family – From the 14th to the 17th century

By: Derek James Stewart

The Elliots were one of the main “Reiving” families on the Anglo/Scots Border. A family born into fire and steel – who caused centuries of fear and destruction as they ruled the roost from horseback with lance and sword. The book follows two narratives… The first delves into the history of the Elliots; where they lived, origins, exploits and how they survived across this harsh community. The second promotes a fascinating gazetteer of family biographies across the Border Line. Using accounts drawn from first hand sources, escapades of theft, blackmail, murder and destruction are documented. Who indeed would meddle with them?
