Off the Grid

Modern Homes + Alternative Energy

By: Lori Ryker

Off the Grid confronts the ecological and cultural problems associated with the way we get and use energy, and explains how it is possible to live in a beautifully designed home using much less--no matter where your home is located. Our homes are connected by a nearly invisible grid of infrastructure that binds us together. It is a system of electrical poles, wire, substations, hydroelectric dams, telecommunication towers, and water extraction and sewage systems. From within this system we work, play, and raise families. We have also created one of the greatest environmental challenges known to modern civilization. The signs of our impact upon the world can be recognized in the reports of environmental changes occurring across the earth, and they can also be seen in the growing failures of the energy grids across the world as the current system is stressed beyond its capacity. Technologies that can be used to live off the grid (geothermal energy use, wind turbines, photovoltaic arrays, micro hydropower, rainwater collection and reclamation, and more) are explained as author Lori Ryker shows how to choose and incorporate these sources according to geography and climate. Off the Grid beautifully illustrates that this is not just a concept for rural living; examples of homes that are -off the grid- to varying degrees are found in New York City; Ontario, Canada; Stuttgart, Germany; Belmont, California; Pipe Creek, Texas; Clyde Park, Montana; Twin Lakes, Minnesota; Laytonville, California; Venice, California; and New South Wales, Australia. Off the Grid shows how we can take responsibility for our future choices and conveniences now, and proves that off-the-grid living is a concept that can be easily understood and adopted by everyone, regardless of where you live or how much money you make. Lori Ryker grew up in Texas and has lived and worked in a variety of locations, including Boston, New York City, Portland, and Basel, Switzerland. She now resides in Livingston, Montana, where she teaches in the School of Architecture at Montana State University and is a partner, along with Brett W. Nave, of Ryker/Nave Design. Their work has been published in The House You Build, and Western Interiors and Design. Ryker holds a MArch from Harvard Graduate School of Design and a Ph.D. from Texas A & M University. She is the author of Mockbee Coker: Thought and Process.

Mannix Dragon Shifters

The Complete Set

By: Lori Whyte

Dragons need mates. It should be simple. But nothing is simple when it comes to mating. This is the complete series! All five stories in one bundle. THEIR RUNAWAY MATE Jasmine is just an ordinary girl in an extraordinary world. She bakes, she loves her aunt, and she has vivid nightmares about dragons. So, when she is selected to be "sacrificed" to the beasts, she does the only thing she can… she runs. She runs and runs… straight into the heart of dragon country. How could she not have known? And now she is being pursued by two of the creatures… Except they really don't seem like "creatures" at all. Particularly when they take their human form. They are sexy and muscled. They are full of heat. And the bastards promise to protect her. How is she supposed to resist all that? SNOWBOUND AT SOLSTICE: A CHRISTMAS NOVELLA A second chance with two sexy dragons is exactly what Holly wants for Christmas. Even if she's too scared to admit it to herself. After all, she's missed her chance and she should really just suck it up and accept it. But when real dangers escalate around her, her dragons, Ryder and Garryck, prove they will do anything to protect her. And that just makes her desire for them burn hotter than ever… Definitely hot enough to keep her warm during the blizzard that leaves them snowbound. MATING OF CONVENIENCE Calla has to protect herself. She doesn't have a choice. And the only way to survive a forced trip into dragon country is to go in with the scents of two powerful dragons on her already. Her plan? Seduce Xander and Kolz, the hottest dragons she's ever met. Easy peasy, right? What could possibly go wrong? Ha! The answer – EVERYTHING! Starting with the fact that the dragons don't want a woman for just one night… They want to take a mate. And they want that mate to be her. LOVING HER DRAGONS It's been a shitty few days. It started with an attack… which led to her being abducted by dragons. And all of that is bad enough, but then she has to go and make things worse. Because suddenly stupid things fall out of Rose's mouth. Like her saying that Zale and Maryk are interested in becoming her mates. Oh… and don't forget that Zale and Maryk hate one another. Sworn enemies, etc., etc. Right. This has happily-ever-after written all over it. HER DRAGONS, HER MATES: A CHRISTMAS NOVELLA Heather is a freaking anomaly. An unmated woman in the heart of dragon country. A woman that no one, not even Jay and Bryan, the dragons she lives with, want as a mate. Everyone—and especially her dragons--protect her like she's fragile. Well, enough is enough. She wants more. So, she makes a decision: Jay and Bryan are hers. They will be her mates, even if they haven't realized it yet. But she is running out of time. Other women are circling her dragons, and she only has until the solstice to stake her claim. ONLY READ IF: You want to read stories where every mate is pursued by two hot dragons. ~~~ Keywords: shifter, happily ever after, mfm, menage, shapeshifter romance, dragon shifter, instant attraction, heat level, paranomal fiction series, shifter mates, steamy romance, steamy paranormal romance, fantasy romance, sexy shifter books, sexy paranormal romance book, two men and one woman, paranormal romance with sex, pnr, curvy, hot shifter romance, bbw heroine, romance books, romance series, steamy, sexy, kissing books, hot, adult romance, mature romance, marriage of convenience, curvy girl romance, complete series, full series, Christmas romance.
