Kingdom of the Gogs is the first book in a series about a young boy named Brodie, who is on the autism spectrum and feels outcasted and very different. He travels to Wales-the birth country of his mother, Katrin. Brodie's curiosity leads him on a magical journey that forever changes the small boy. He faces many mysterious and challenging tasks with the help from Grub, a grouchy changeling, and Kol, a mischievous Welsh mining goblin. The three set out to prevent a power-hungry wizard named Dayton from attaining a magical dragon scale that lands in Brodie's possession. The secret of the dragon scale gives Brodie the power to transform, but is it really the scale's magic that enables this valiant child to outmaneuver Dayton and his evil henchmen, or has something awoken deep within him? Skipping through realms and history and encountering witches, fairies, and other enchanted and frightening characters, Brodie soon discovers that it is not the dragon's magic he must protect from Dayton but his own.
This is the first book to gather together R. K. Elliott's important essays on aesthetics. These essays put forward a number of common themes that together constitute a unified approach to aesthetics. A theory of imagination is developed and ideas concerning the practice of art criticism are explored before the relevance of aesthetics for ethics is discussed. Throughout his writing Elliott combines analytic rigour with sympathy for ideas in continental philosophy. He values subjectivity but his analytic stance prevents this from falling into mere personal opinion; he is also able to show how art and aesthetic theory is of complex relevance to broader areas of experience such as education, freedom, and moral action. In the course of his discussion Elliott offers an in-depth analysis of Kant's Critique of Judgement, Clive Bell's aesthetic theory, and the relevance of Wittgenstein for aesthetics. Study of Elliott's essays presented in this book powerfully illuminates the unifying role of imagination and the aesthetic in human experience.

The streets of Washington has been my home since the day I was born. As the years went on by, I learnt to survive on these streets, I even learnt to smile. Zero I know I should let it rest, but I can't drop it. I need to know her name. My gut is riding me hard. My instincts are telling me it's important. I'm the enforcer. If there's even a thread that she's a danger to my club I need to know. When Beggar saves Falon, she passes the biggest test of a Satan Sniper.
