Published in 1918, this book is a biographical collection of war poems written by soldiers who lost their lives serving their country on the Western Front during the Great War.
Written tenderly and with a surfeit of emotion, Arthur St. John Adcock, a skilled anthologist, takes Chaucer and Pope as evidence that English poets have always discussed warfare and conflict.
Some of the soldiers who perished were scholarly, who had been to good public schools and the great universities to learn discipline and the arts, and combined them in their texts. Many others were less educated, and experimented for the first time, leaving behind raw emotion unencumbered by rhetorical flourishes.
Poets whose names have lasted the ages feature, such as Rupert Brooke, among forty or so men who wrote of various subjects while on the front. Sometimes they recalled happier times, while at others they documented the grim realities of war.
The natural world, the danger of weapons and the sense of honour and patriotism all come through in the verses quoted in the book, the lives of whose writers gives a context to already powerful text.
We have an anthology here from men who did not live to see their words inside it which, a hundred year after Armistice, remains a glorious tribute to the words of the fallen.
Arthur St. John Adcock (17 January 1864 – 9 June 1930), was a journalist, novelist and poet whose books included Songs of the War, Love in London and The Booklover’s London.
A rebellious descendant. A werewolf on the prowl. With her friends in danger, can she become the red-cloaked hood the world needs?
Gerwalta “Geri” Kline has just thrown out generations of tradition. As a descendant of the mythical Little Red Riding Hood, Geri refuses to suffer the fate of a woman who tried to find her fairy tale ending… and ended up dead. Despite possessing the powers of a “hood,” she resolves to head off to college and the big city, and live life as a human…
As she attempts to create a new future in Chicago, her old life starts to creep in. Her lab professor turns out to be a vampire and the half-mad werewolf stalking campus is desperate for her help. No matter how much she wants to leave her lupine-lurking days behind, the world of night proves uncooperative. Soon enough, Geri is knee-deep in a terrifying vampire conspiracy. Her only hope to get out is to agree to help the werewolf, and act like the hood she doesn't want to be…
Reluctant Hood is an imaginative urban fantasy tale that reinvents the classic Little Red Riding Hood legend. If you like headstrong heroines, original fantasy worlds, and fresh takes on Grimm’s fairy tales, then you’ll love Kendrai Meeks’ bewitching tale.
Everyone knows that love is blind, but even Riona Dade knows it’s supposed to be with a mortal. That’s true even if you are a witch with the ability to magically slay the scum of Hell. Plus, when you find out your ex-boyfriend was a demon, you should probably take your lesson about falling for the wrong guy. Probably. It’s a great theory, anyway.
Marc Angeletti, a piece of forbidden fruit with onyx eyes and a razor wit, can start packing his luggage for damnation now. Riona is… wow, but love isn’t really an option for a man who’s dedicated himself to the church. Too bad nobody told his body that. The more he and the witch battle the forces of darkness side by side, the harder it becomes to resist the pull he feels. The only solution is to be a sarcastic ass, and hope she doesn’t call him on it. Or worse, hope she doesn’t have a thing for sarcastic asses.
When Lucifer himself takes a personal interest in wooing the witch, the stakes aren’t the only thing raising. As long as Riona and Marc can keep things professional and north of the sheets, no problem. Too bad both of their compasses are broken where bedrooms are concerned.

NEW YORK HAS MANY SECRETS. SOME ARE OLDER THAN THE CITY ITSELF.
My name is Andrew Coulter: Wizard, badass and womanizer (hello ladies!).
My roommates and I work for the New York Wizard Council, protecting the city from supernatural threats; dealing with territorial werewolves and angry ghosts is just routine to us. We’re used to that stuff. What we’re not used to is an ancient demon hybrid roaming the sewers. How did it even get there? And why no one, besides my captain Dora, felt its presence? Yeah, my boss is a woman, no problem with that, really. Although it’d be easier, were she less sexy! She’s determined to find out what’s going on, not caring for any “classified” bullshit and the rest of the team and I are determined to help her, no matter what.
We have just started looking for clues when a white orc shows up to spread a supernatural plague that could destroy New York for good. We’re forced to drop our investigation and face this new threat … Is that a coincidence? My Brother Joey thinks it’s not.
Have I mentioned my younger brother Joey? He’s an annoying, know-it-all nerd but he’s also a very talented wizard and a smart ass: If someone can help us solve this mystery, that’s him.

Remember when?
Commander Rafian VCA the most gifted Space Marine in the Anstractor Alliance remembers nothing.

What happens when a mind-blowing one-night stand won't stay in the past?
I rescued her without thinking.
I can't believe I didn't kill that guy for what he did.
I'm a notorious playboy and self-made millionaire.
I'm used to women throwing themselves at me.
Saving one is a different story.
I could see the fear in her striking blue eyes.
So, I go after her, comfort her.
It wasn't like I planned to have sex with her in the alley.
Or spend the whole night making her scream.
She wanted one perfect night. I gave her that and more.
I can't forget her no matter how hard I try.
And when I find out she has a secret...
A secret tied to that one hot night - I will not give up until I make her MINE.
A secret club. A mystery woman. A craving I can’t restrain.
As a billionaire e-commerce entrepreneur, I’m expected to take my clients to Jewel, an elite men’s club offering female gems of salacious delight. A place where any fantasy is fulfilled... for a price.
I never allow myself fantasies, so the last thing I expect to find inside Jewel is a woman I immediately crave. The Butterfly. A woman I want desperately. A woman I can’t stop thinking about.
But there’s a problem... the beauty who hides behind a mask and sings like a celestial being isn’t for sale.
Not to be thwarted, I pay her for something else instead — to answer five of my questions. She’s intriguing. A mystery. And her answers compel me to know more.
But I’m not the only one interested. Not the only one who wants to know her... the real her. The woman behind the mask. The one the whole world knows. Below the sensual surface of Jewel, lurks a dark and dangerous predator. A man I must save her from.
As it turns out, the Butterfly isn’t the only one who wears a mask. I do too. Who will save her from me?

What if you dreamed someone else's life?
Link has always made it a point to keep things simple. Now his waking life has become so stale he would rather be dreaming. His doctor gives him a prescription meant to keep him sharp throughout the day. The pills work so well Link begins to wonder if they will work even better when he is asleep.
In his dreams Link is transported across the universe to a colony of spaceships in search of a new home. He soon discovers half the fleet is in danger of extinction. The man whose body he occupies in his dreams is the one orchestrating their demise.
Of course all this is just in his head.
Link keeps telling himself that as he toys with the final remnants of an alien race in his dreams every night. He must decide whether his waking life deserves some attention at last or whether this might actually be a real space convoy needing his help. By the time he makes up his mind it may be too late for Link to do anything about either situation.
What if you had no memory? Not even of being a witch?
Templar Michael Charbon has been watching the young witch for months. Homeless, beautiful, and living in Central Park, she seems to charm everyone she meets. They shower her with kindness, and yet he never witnesses magic. Only when he rescues her from a rapist, does he understand why: Summer has no memory, not even of her real name. Though he barely resists her inexplicable pull on him, he would gladly break his vows to make her his own.
Magus Corps Major Troy Atwater is surprised to hear from Michael. But their long past together puts Michael’s word beyond doubt. Troy collects the beautiful, young witch from the Templar, before her strange attraction drives half of New York wild. A powerful warlock in his own right, Troy manages to veil her seductive appeal, so that he and the coven can help her. But a passionate bond quickly envelopes them that goes far beyond her charms.
For her part, Summer’s head is swimming. With barely a memory, she can hardly comprehend the ancient world of Wiccans and Templars. More than that she finds herself torn between two very different men. But as the extent of her powers reveal themselves and her deadly past returns in painful snippets, she finds that she isn’t meant to choose between Michael or Troy. She must have them both.
Q - If you could choose, would you want a Templar or a Wiccan?
A - Oh a Wiccan, any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. But in this series our young, beautiful and amnesiac witch doesn’t have to choose!
Q - There’s a polyamorous theme to the coven series. Care to explain?
A - That’s the beauty of the Wiccan world: they’re open to love and passion in all its forms. These series have given me a lot of room to play. But let me tell you, I take my play very seriously.
Q - What order should I read the books?
A - The Silver Wood Coven series is numbered one through five, the Castle Coven series is numbered one through six, and the Magus Corps series is numbered one through seven. Although the Magus Corps series was the first one I created in the paranormal world of witches and warlocks, you can read the Silver Wood Coven series first with no problem at all!
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules--a fact that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. Deeply ambivalent about growing up black in the lone star state, he was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could. Until duty called him home.
Here is a thing everyone wants:
A miracle.
Here is a thing everyone fears:
What it takes to get one.
Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars.
At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo.
They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect.
Maggie Stiefvater has been called “a master storyteller” by USA Today and “wildly imaginative” by Entertainment Weekly. Now, with All the Crooked Saints, she gives us the extraordinary story of an extraordinary family, a masterful tale of love, fear, darkness, and redemption.
Kasper Mützenmacher keeps a divine "wishing hat" locked in the wall safe of his Berlin hat shop.
Becca Meister Fitzpatrick—wife, mother, grandmother, and pillar of the community—is the dutiful steward of her family’s iconic summer tradition . . . until she discovers her recently deceased husband squandered their nest egg. As she struggles to accept that this is likely her last season in Long Harbor, Becca is inspired by her granddaughter’s boldness in the face of impending single-motherhood, and summons the courage to reveal a secret she was forced to bury long ago: the existence of a daughter she gave up fifty years ago. The question now is how her other daughter, Rachel—with whom Becca has always had a strained relationship—will react.
Eden is the account of the days leading up to the Fourth of July weekend, as Becca prepares to disclose her secret and her son and brothers conspire to put the estate on the market, interwoven with the century-old history of Becca’s family—her parents’ beginnings and ascent into affluence, and her mother’s own secret struggles in the grand home her father named “Eden.”
As a flight attendant, Rayne Jackson is used to cancellations, but she never dreamed her latest would lead to a whirlwind tour of London with a handsome stranger...or a life-altering night in his bed. One evening is all the enigmatic man can give her, and Rayne greedily takes it, despite suspecting it will never be enough.
Heading home after another extreme mission, Keane "Ghost" Bryson hadn't planned to seduce someone during his layover, but Rayne is too sweet to resist. Being a Delta Force member means lying to protect his identity, which is unfortunate, considering Rayne seems made for Ghost, right down to the tattoo on her back. For the first time in his life, regret fills him as he slips away the following morning.
Both are shocked when, months later, they meet again - under the worst possible circumstances. Seems fate has given them a second chance...if they can survive the terrorist situation they're in. If Rayne can forgive Ghost his lies. And if Ghost can trust Rayne to be strong enough to endure the secrets and uncertainty that come with loving a Delta Force soldier.
I asked my father for a rose. It nearly cost him his life. I found myself alone in a castle, surrounded by seven beasts living under the curse of a witch they had all wronged at some point in their lives. Each of them were plucked from the mortal world they lived in and doomed to an eternity in the cold, dark castle. Can I find a way to tame seven beasts and help them remember the men they used to be?
Alexander, a politician who thought he would be president until he tried to burn the witch at the stake in the 1800s.
Boone, a gunslinger from the Wild West who once hunted the James-Younger Gang. His mistake was killing the witch's beloved.
Gill, a playboy gambler from the roaring twenties that caught the witch's eye, but he couldn't be true to her.
Braden and Shane, twins that ran drugs in the eighties only run afoul of the witch when they thought they were finally going to escape their past.
Randall, a chef who used to have his own reality show until is foul mouth and vibrant temper brought on the witch's wrath.
And number seven? Well he's a legend, just like his sword, and we're all in his castle.
Kelli's Note: This is a 50,000 word steamy standalone fairy tale with a HEA and no cheating! I'm a girl that likes wild and crazy romances, so that is exactly what you get from me. My heroes might be a little over-the-top with a touch of caveman and you'll get some angst along the way, but I promise that the good parts will give you a plenty of reasons to read this all by yourself!
Nicole is without a doubt the oddest creature I’ve ever met.
As far as therapists go, she seems pretty damn good, even though her methods are way the hell out there. And I actually like that she uses my gym for her afterschool sessions. That is, until she starts sticking her nosy—albeit gorgeous—butt into my business. It’s bad enough the sexy little smarty has wormed her way into my head. There’s no frickin’ way I’m letting her psychoanalyze the rough patch my kid’s going through. I don’t care how much the woman knows about this stuff; my daughter is my life. We’ve been doing just great on our own, no outsiders needed.
The only problem? The persistent menace apparently has a set of keys to barge right in…
Logan is without a doubt the most fascinating man I’ve ever met.
As far as billionaires go, he’s far from typical. Practically allergic to the indoors and stubborn to the extreme, but an absolute teddy bear—of the gruff, burly, mountain-climbing variety—when it comes to his daughter. And for some reason, I seem to rub him the wrong way. Unsurprising, since I’ve never really been good at rubbing men the right way…pun entirely intended. What I am good at though, is working with kids. The man needs my help, even though he doesn’t think so. He may be the most loving father I’ve ever encountered, but this here is my domain.
The only problem? My clothes seem to keep falling off whenever we’re alone together…
NOTE: This is a quick, steamy romance with lots of chemistry and very little drama for the on-the-go reader looking for some frisky, feel-good fun. Contents include: a big, rugged single dad being driven crazy by a quirky, head-shrinking heroine, copious hot, dirty, descriptive sex, and a swoony instalove plot complete with a sweet HEA. No cheating, no cliffhanger.

Her and her staff desperately tried to help them as best they could despite limited resources, and bombs falling all around them.
For her bravery and work under fire in Belgium, she eventually received the Order of Leopold.
This is the story of her life during the First World War.
