Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A BBW EARTH WOMAN / MERMAN ROMANCE. Twenty-year-old Erin Murphy isn’t the slim, blonde, model-type woman that men prefer. Once she’d dyed her dark hair a shocking shade of red and worn green contact lens in order to attract attention and it had ended disastrously. She has decided that she wouldn’t ever change herself again in order to find love, but is there any man who will love her as she is? Merman Jacob Spellman has always been attracted to fuller curves. None of the women on MerLand suit his taste. He’d wondered if he was destined to settle for less than his heart’s desire, until his older brother Adam finds happiness with an Earth woman and makes Jacob realize that he has to explore further afield. He sees Erin walking along Portobello Beach, senses her loneliness and longing to be loved, and decides that she will be his. All Erin needs is to believe that a handsome prince wants her just as she is. All Jacob needs to do is convince her that the Kingdom of MerLand is a better place than Earth.

Now he’s bonded to a human. A woman looking for a reason to live. Briana thinks her life is over after the loss of her child. Instead, she falls into the arms of a merman who is anything but cold-blooded. He’s wild, seductive, and sets her blood on fire every time he touches her, and soon she begins to need him for more than his magic to breathe underwater. He might just give her a new purpose. But as dangers encroach from every side, Zantu must choose; keep his new mate at his side or keep her safe. Either way, he’s sure he’ll end up with a broken heart.

Book excerpt: LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION “Bold, virtuosic, addictive, erotic – there is nothing like The Pisces. I have no idea how Broder does it, but I loved every dark and sublime page of it.” —Stephanie Danler, author of Sweetbitter Lucy has been writing her dissertation on Sappho for nine years when she and her boyfriend break up in a dramatic flameout. After she bottoms out in Phoenix, her sister in Los Angeles insists Lucy dog-sit for the summer. Annika's home is a gorgeous glass cube on Venice Beach, but Lucy can find little relief from her anxiety — not in the Greek chorus of women in her love addiction therapy group, not in her frequent Tinder excursions, not even in Dominic the foxhound's easy affection. Everything changes when Lucy becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer while sitting alone on the beach rocks one night. But when Lucy learns the truth about his identity, their relationship, and Lucy’s understanding of what love should look like, take a very unexpected turn. A masterful blend of vivid realism and giddy fantasy, pairing hilarious frankness with pulse-racing eroticism, THE PISCES is a story about falling in obsessive love with a merman: a figure of Sirenic fantasy whose very existence pushes Lucy to question everything she thought she knew about love, lust, and meaning in the one life we have.

Can she take the chance of losing all she holds dear just to lay the ghosts of her past to rest? THE MERMAN’S DESIRE Twenty-year-old Erin Murphy is a curvy woman and has decided that she wouldn’t change herself in order to find love. But she despairs that any man will want her as she is. Merman Jacob Spellman has always been attracted to fuller curves. He’d wondered if he was destined to settle for less than his heart’s desire, until he sees Erin walking along Portobello Beach and decides that she will be his.

THE MERMAN’S HEART For twenty-two-year-old Eithne McCarthy life is a series of endless days and nights. She is married to the man who fathered her son, but their marriage is in name only. Merman Joseph Spellman feels as though his life is spinning out of control. He’s feeling a dangerous and inappropriate attraction for the wife of his cousin Adam, King of MerLand Kingdom. Joseph contemplates living on Earth. Life on the planet would be better than staying on MerLand and fighting the attraction that gets stronger every day. Then he’s informed that it’s Eithne, Niamh’s younger sister, who is his Intended mate and not the Queen. The only problem is that she lives on Earth and is married with a young son. Will she be willing to leave everything behind and move to MerLand? THE MERMAN’S PRIZE Twenty-year-old Angela Braithwaite has grown up with parents who are both Rastafarians. Instead of being attracted to the men of her own race as a dutiful daughter, she’s had an eye for tall, blond men; the very last type of men that her parents would allow her to date or marry. Lucas Archer feels battle weary and exhausted from the events that have occurred over the last six years. He was lead guard responsible for ensuring the safety of the future King of MerLand and had failed miserably. He redeems himself by capturing the traitor and bringing him to justice. He’s rewarded handsomely for his efforts but is left still feeling dissatisfied. Then he sees Angela and realizes that she is his Intended mate, and a prize just waiting for him to claim. THE MERMAN’S CONQUEST Eighteen-year-old Mariam El-Kashef is about to get married to a man ten years older than her own father whom he owes more money than he can repay. In a last ditch effort, she goes to Sunny Sands Beach with a large mirror in the hope of transporting herself into an alternate universe as she’d once dreamed she had done as a child. Merman Lucius Archer’s life feels as though it’s spinning out of control. He never imagined that he and his identical twin Lucas would ever live separate lives: one on MerLand and the other on Earth. Lucas has found his mate on Earth; if Lucius doesn’t find his too, he will have to return to MerLand alone. They have grown up so incredibly close, that would feel like losing an arm. Then Lucius finds Mariam, his Intended and he will do whatever it takes to get her out of the sticky situation, but is either of them prepared for the repercussions of messing with a man dangerous enough to kill?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now recognized as one of the nineteenth century's leading psychologists and philosophers, Kierkegaard was among other things the harbinger of exisentialisim. In Fear and Trembling he explores the psychology of religion, addressing the question 'What is Faith?' in terms of the emotional and psychological relationship between the individual and God. But this difficult question is addressed in the most vivid terms, as Kierkegaard explores different ways of interpreting the ancient story of Abraham and Isaac to make his point. Søren Kierkegaard not only ­trans­formed Protestant theology but also anticipated twentieth-century existentialism and provided it with many of its motifs. Fear and Trembling and The Book on Adler–addressed to a general audience–have the imaginative excitement and intense personal appeal of the greatest literature. Only Plato and Nietzsche have matched Kierkegaard’s ability to give ideas so compellingly vivid and dramatic a shape. Translated by Walter Lowrie

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013 we celebrate Kierkegaard’s 200th birthday with this magnificent guide from one of the most acclaimed Danish Kierkegaard experts. There are many reasons why Kierkegaard is outrageously hard to read. By virtue of the originality of his genious Kierkegaard’s authorship is a universe apart. There are many ways one can try to penetrate it, and can naturally also do so on one’s own. But when you come to a strange country it is always wise to start off by seeking the help of a guide, who is familiar both with the roads and with the sights, that is, a kind of orienting introduction which can smooth the further passage on one’s own. That is what this book wishes to be. Thereforeit is not addressed to the specialist, and even though I have written it going from my personal conception of the matter its errand is not to contribute to any debate. It offers its services to all who wish to try to get inside the Kierkegaardian world of ideas. Going from the insight I think I have arrived at, I offer it as a key to that singular universe. - Johannes Sløk

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of how three important European thinkers-Kierkegaard, Kafka and Blanchot-use the Binding of Isaac to illuminate the sacrificial situation of the literary writer. Danta shows that literature plays a vital and heretical role in these three writers' highly idiosyncratic accounts of the Akedah. His claim is twofold: firstly, that all three authors choose to respond to the Genesis narrative by manifesting literature; and, secondly, that each heretically endows literature-or fiction-with the power to suspend the sacrifice. Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac is traditionally read as the story of faith in action. But what does it mean to play the game of not-quite-belief with the story of religious faith? By examining the literary and heretical treatments of Isaac's sacrifice in the work of Kierkegaard, Kafka and Blanchot, this book develops an original account of literature as a form of sacrificial thinking. For each, writing acts, like God's sacrificial demand of Abraham, to suspend the writer's usual relation to his daily and earthly responsibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected here in one volume are three of Søren Kierkegaard's most important works: Fear and Trembling, Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing, and Sickness Unto Death. Fear and Trembling: In our time nobody is content to stop with faith but wants to go further. It would perhaps be rash to ask where these people are going, but it is surely a sign of breeding and culture for me to assume that everybody has faith, for otherwise it would be queer for them to be . . . going further. In those old days it was different, then faith was a task for a whole lifetime, because it was assumed that dexterity in faith is not acquired in a few days or weeks. When the tried oldster drew near to his last hour, having fought the good fight and kept the faith, his heart was still young enough not to have forgotten that fear and trembling which chastened the youth, which the man indeed held in check, but which no man quite outgrows. . . except as he might succeed at the earliest opportunity in going further. Where these revered figures arrived, that is the point where everybody in our day begins to go further. Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing: Father in heaven! What is a man without Thee! What is all that he knows, vast accumulation though it be, but a chipped fragment if he does not know Thee! What is all his striving, could it even encompass a world, but a half-finished work if he does not know Thee: Thee the One, who art one thing and who art all! Sickness Unto Death: Man is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation [which accounts for it] that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but [consists in the fact] that the relation relates itself to its own self. Man is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity, in short it is a synthesis.
