Book excerpt: Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and J. R. Ward will devour this Slow Burn Romantic Urban Fantasy series! I’m a pixie-sized bounty hunter on a mission, and I have one goal: Revenge. With a kill-count that puts most bounty hunters in the business to shame, I’ve seen it all and am one of the best. You name it and I can handle it. From vicious vampires and rogue shifters to treacherous mages. Just when I thought I couldn’t be surprised, I find myself ensnared by the devious and sexy Fin Taylor, a billionaire fae prince with motives of his own. But it seems fortune is on my side after all, because my captor and I have a common enemy. The very man I’ve been hunting all these years—the mythic Black Mage—the magic wielding bastard who murdered my parents. Whatever gripes I’ve got with the gorgeous prince are going to have to take a back seat, because I’ve waited too long not to claim the blood owed. Together, we have a real shot at bringing the Black Mage to justice. Only, he always seems to be one step ahead… and now something is horribly wrong with Fin, placing our lives in more danger than ever before. If I can’t figure out a way to help him and get us back on track, I won’t just miss my chance at revenge; I may end up delivering two more victims straight into the Black Mage’s bloody hands. Author Note: This book ends with a cliff-hanger that leads straight into book 2!

A unique new series filled with action and drama worth reading." ★★★★★ "This is an urban fantasy story. The story is well written and easy to read with a well developed setting and fascinating characters. I loved how this one started out and it just got better as it went along. It helped a lot that I liked both our hero and heroine. That and the fast paced plot really made the story flow. Overall, an excellent story and I look forward to seeing these characters again."

Book Synopsis The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky by : Alejandro Jodorowsky
Download or read book The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-05-27 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jodorowsky’s memoirs of his experiences with Master Takata and the group of wisewomen--magiciennes--who influenced his spiritual growth • Reveals Jodorowsky turning the same unsparing spiritual vision seen in El Topo to his own spiritual quest • Shows how the author’s spiritual insight and progress was catalyzed repeatedly by wisewoman shamans and healers In 1970, John Lennon introduced to the world Alejandro Jodorowsky and the movie, El Topo, that he wrote, starred in, and directed. The movie and its author instantly became a counterculture icon. The New York Times said the film “demands to be seen,” and Newsweek called it “An Extraordinary Movie!” But that was only the beginning of the story and the controversy of El Topo, and the journey of its brilliant creator. His spiritual quest began with the Japanese master Ejo Takata, the man who introduced him to the practice of meditation, Zen Buddhism, and the wisdom of the koans. Yet in this autobiographical account of his spiritual journey, Jodorowsky reveals that it was a small group of wisewomen, far removed from the world of Buddhism, who initiated him and taught him how to put the wisdom he had learned from his master into practice. At the direction of Takata, Jodorowsky became a student of the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, thus beginning a journey in which vital spiritual lessons were transmitted to him by various women who were masters of their particular crafts. These women included Doña Magdalena, who taught him “initiatic” or spiritual massage; the powerful Mexican actress known as La Tigresa (the “tigress”); and Reyna D’Assia, daughter of the famed spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff. Other important wisewomen on Jodorowsky’s spiritual path include María Sabina, the priestess of the sacred mushrooms; the healer Pachita; and the Chilean singer Violeta Parra. The teachings of these women enabled him to discard the emotional armor that was hindering his advancement on the path of spiritual awareness and enlightenment.
