Book excerpt: In 1756, Europe is ruled by women. One of the most powerful is Madame de Pompadour, legendary mistress of Louis XV. While searching for a way to displace the Favorite, Pompadour's mortal enemy, the Duchess de Lauraguais, stumbles upon a potential lover for Louis in the person of the sensual and talented Diane Vauclin, queen of the Paris stage. Lauraguais knows that the actress can match the Favorite's talents in the salons of Versailles, but can mount an even more formidable challenge to the king's fragile mistress on a field where she can no longer fight -- in the king's bed. In the doing, Lauraguais discovers other secrets that will assuage her anger at someone much closer to her heart. The handsome and gallant Alexandre Devereaux continues to reject her affections while remaining enthralled to the memory of a woman he believes long dead. But Devereaux ́s lost love turns out to be very much alive. The beautiful Diane is in actuality Jennet MacKenna, the woman Alexandre once loved enough to marry secretly in defiance of the king's interdiction, and who was then forced "to die" and begin a new existence in order to save herself. As Lauraguais's plot comes within a hair's breadth of succeeding, no one realizes that she has loosed other unanticipated consequences that will alter France and open the door to Revolution. At Daggers Drawn is a captivating story of ambition, intrigue and the madness of love denied told against the backdrop of the rugged shores of Canada and the gilded salons of Versailles. Also available for purchase online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Also Enjoy Daughter of France by Liz Forrest "Forrest amazes and delights from the very first paragraph . . .

Besieged by visions and debilitated whenever he uses the One Power, Rand chooses to attack the Seanchan with Callandor. The sword consumes him with a berserker rage, felling ally and enemy alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A magnificent one-volume abridgement of one of the greatest literary biographies of our time Joseph Frank's award-winning, five-volume Dostoevsky is widely recognized as the best biography of the writer in any language—and one of the greatest literary biographies of the past half-century. Now Frank's monumental, 2,500-page work has been skillfully abridged and condensed in this single, highly readable volume with a new preface by the author. Carefully preserving the original work's acclaimed narrative style and combination of biography, intellectual history, and literary criticism, Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time illuminates the writer's works—from his first novel Poor Folk to Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov—by setting them in their personal, historical, and above all ideological context. More than a biography in the usual sense, this is a cultural history of nineteenth-century Russia, providing both a rich picture of the world in which Dostoevsky lived and a major reinterpretation of his life and work.

Book excerpt: Red Gloves is a mercenary, raised to the blade and trained in the ways of war. She'll take no nonsense and pull no punches; she seizes what she wants and leaves when she's done. She and Bethral, her sword-sister, have come to Palins looking for work, but they find torched fields and razed farms, a land defiled. During a storm they stumble across a derelict mansion and beg shelter of the sole human occupant, the resident goatherd. He's not happy, and he's not impressed with the stroppy mercenary - but Red Gloves is even less impressed when he notices her birthmark and claims it marks her out as Chosen, born to help the people of Palins reclaim their land. Her inclination to help dwindles still further when she discovers there's no money, no reward, in fact, nothing in store for the Chosen but a difficult, bloody battle against the odds. So she takes what she wants of the goatherd, and she leaves. But circumstances force Red back to the mansion, and this time she's more inclined to help - after all, impossible odds and bloody battles are very much her style. She's poised, reluctantly, to do her thing, when it turns out she's not the only Chosen in the race for freedom, and the crown ... RED GLOVES: a beguiling tale of daggers, derring-do and destiny, and heroes who come in all shapes and sizes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work constitutes an original piece of research and writing dedicated to relating the diplomatic initiatives (both official and unofficial, public and secret) that were intended to end or stop the spread of the Second World War in Europe. Special attention is given to specific peace proposals, initiatives, and back-channel diplomatic maneuverings, all within the general context of the foreign policies of the principal parties concerned. Diplomatic efforts designed to bring about an end to hostilities by belligerent and non-belligerent nations are included. Geographically, this work is confined to the European theater of operations. The chronological focus of this volume is on the earliest stages of the conflict, specifically from September 1, 1939, to September 1940. It is the intent of the author to expand the time period covered by way of future additions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoughtful, gleeful encyclopedia of emotions, both broad and outrageously specific, from throughout history and around the world. How do you feel today? Is your heart fluttering in anticipation? Your stomach tight with nerves? Are you falling in love? Feeling a bit miffed? Do you have the heebie-jeebies? Are you antsy with iktsuarpok or filled with nakhes? Recent research suggests there are only six basic emotions. But if that makes you feel uneasy, suspicious, and maybe even a little bereft, The Book of Human Emotions is for you. In this unique book, you'll get to travel across the world and through time, learning how different cultures have articulated the human experience and picking up some fascinating new knowledge about yourself along the way. From the familiar (anger) to the foreign (zal), each entertaining and informative alphabetical entry reveals the surprising connections and fascinating facts behind our emotional lives. Whether you're in search of the perfect word to sum up that cozy feeling you get from being inside on a cold winter's night, surrounded by friends and good food (what the Dutch call gezelligheid), or wondering how nostalgia evolved from a fatal illness to enjoyable self-indulgence, Tiffany Watt Smith draws on history, anthropology, science, art, literature, music, and popular culture to find the answers. In reading The Book of Human Emotions, you'll discover feelings you never knew you had (like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone) and gain unexpected insights into why you feel the way you do. Besides, aren't you curious what nginyiwarrarringu means?
