Cale Valens, a graduating eighteen-year-old recluse, has become unsatisfied with the everyday life of an average teenager attending Stellar High School. Nothing explosive ever happened in the dull city of Irvine, California to brighten his day, no tragedies seemed to befall him as he ran a cheese-less mouse maze back and forth from home to school, and certainly no one ever tried to kill himgiven that he barely had anything much to live for as it was. He doesnt realize that everything he knew is all about to change as a mysterious toxin awakens a part of his personality that challenges his humanity as he, and a handful of other students around him, encounters what seems to be the end of life as they know it. Surviving an unfortunate attack after Stellar was quarantined starts to become almost an unlucky outcome for them as they are hunted even in their time of despair. They start to find that even in a supernatural world, there is a race for control as others try to regulate them. Luckily, Cale Valens always had a knack for rebellion, and it was a necessary time for his inner monster to start a riot against the world, if he can survive the malice the world had waiting for him.

Where Fires Rage is an anthology that reflects his consciousness of the world. As a privileged witness to both the brutality and beauty that surrounds us, he has sought to grapple with this paradox of human existence through these poems. They are an honest and emotional record of his reactions.

After losing her job in England, Amy Carter uses her redundancy payment to start a new life in France, turning Bellefontaine, an overgrown Provençal farmhouse, into a successful hotel. Though she has big plans for her new home, none of them involves falling in love — least of all with Fabien Coste, the handsome but arrogant owner of the nearby château. As romance blossoms in the beautiful Provençal countryside, disturbing events at the farmhouse hint at a dark mystery — a destructive, centuries-old attachment between the ladies of Bellefontaine and the ducs de Coste. As Amy struggles to unravel the mystery, she begins to wonder if it may not just be her heart at risk, but her life too.

Doony, Ryder, Wyatt, Bodhi. The names of Kristin Hersh’s sons are the only ones included in her new memoir, Seeing Sideways. As the book unfolds and her sons’ voices rise from its pages, it becomes clear why: these names tell the story of her life. This story begins in 1990, when Hersh is the leader of the indie rock group Throwing Muses, touring steadily, and the mother of a young son, Doony. The chapters that follow reveal a woman and mother whose life and career grow and change with each of her sons: the story of a custody battle for Doony is told alongside that of Hersh’s struggles with her record company and the resulting PTSD; the tale of breaking free from her record label stands in counterpoint to her recounting of her pregnancy with Ryder; a period of writer’s block coincides with the development of Wyatt as an artist and the family’s loss of their home; and finally, soon after Bodhi’s arrival, Hersh and her boys face crises from which only strange angels can save them. Punctuated with her own song lyrics, Seeing Sideways is a memoir about a life strange enough to be fiction, but so raw and moving that it can only be real.

"The Struggle of Going Nowhere" contains 111 poems and is the second book with poems from the path to Spiritual Awakening. These poems should be understood with one's heart rather than one's mind. They are not as dark and strange as they might sound if you listen with your heart. The poems are sometimes written as a conversation between the small self and the big Self.

Inspired by the Navajo traditions Beauty Way, this book acts as an exposition on various vital aspects of life, as well as how to uncover and create true beauty within them all. Author Lori Myles-Carullo struggled with chronic illness for many years and, through the depth of her own healing journey, developed a passion for sharing the wisdom she gained in the process. The essence of beauty explored here is neither about personal appearance nor image, but rather the rich, lived experience of the heart awakening to love and letting go of fear. Each one of us has a great capacity for radical honesty, courage, and transformationand often life provides us with exactly what we need to draw these forth in dramatic and powerful ways. Whether our wake-up calls occur through loss, transition, illness, or relationship struggles, we all have the choice to either contract or expand through our experiences, creating therefore less or more beauty in our lives and the lives of others. Beautys Way gifts you with practical suggestions, through personal story and anecdote, of how to bring more beauty to your existence and to the greater whole. Each chapter ends with specific exercises that will assist you in gaining greater awareness into key parts of lifesome naturally thought of as good, such as love and joy, as well as other, more challenging ones that we often do our best to distract ourselves from due to fear, including pain and grief. By offering our heartfelt compassion and love to it all, a greater realization and manifestation of healing beauty is forever possible.
