The Sword Brothers have won a great victory and the implacable enemy of their order is dead. There is now nothing to stop the Bishop of Riga from marching north and seizing the whole of Estonia. But in the moment of triumph the seeds of future difficulties have been sown, for the bishop’s German crusaders believe that the fight against the pagans has been won and thus there is no reason for them to stay in Livonia. Faced with a lack of holy warriors to complete his task, the bishop is forced to beg the ambitious King Valdemar of Denmark for military aid, a request that will have disastrous consequences.
While he is away Conrad Wolff, now a veteran brother knight of the Sword Brothers, his reputation high among pagans and crusaders alike, is sent to Ungannia whose ruler Kalju is an ally of the Sword Brothers. There a trivial incident escalates into a full-scale war that results in a great barbarian horde sweeping into Livonia and threatening the very existence of the crusader state.
Conrad is sent on a desperate mission to raise a ragtag army to delay the invaders long enough so Riga can summon crusader knights from Germany. Conrad and his companions soon find themselves battling Cumans, Russians, Lithuanians and Danes as their motley force – the Army of the Wolf – takes the field against the many enemies of Livonia.
This, the second volume of the Crusader Chronicles, continues the story of Conrad Wolff and the Baltic Crusade in the first quarter of the thirteenth century.
An automobile accident shatters the near-perfect lives of David and Luke Hyatt, identical twins. David survives intact, but Luke nearly dies from his injuries. The residue of Luke’s head injury is an acquired form of Asperger’s. The twins had graduated from medical school and were about to enter an internship at Brier Hospital in Berkeley. Although Luke is gifted with savant-like intelligence, can he continue his career in medicine? Will health professionals, administrators, and patients themselves accept Luke as a physician or succumb to the petty fear of someone different, or is it time for the world to consider the value of an individual beyond his or her label?

After her father remarries, Britt Kelly’s life becomes a cesspit. She lives in her sister’s two-bedroom tenement apartment with her mother, two brothers, and two young nephews. She starts a new high school where she knows no one. And, even when Britt thinks she’s making friends, the church where she studies in is torn down.
Then, the field commanders of The Demon Wars draft her and her friends to aid the four Gargoyle Guardians who fight the demons invading the city of Trebridge. The fate of the city hangs on Britt’s ability to lead and learn enough self-control to manipulate the natural magic of Grace. Meanwhile, she also needs to decide what to do about Cahal, her chemistry lab partner who is as strong as her and may have interests more than just protecting Trebridge.
“There Be Demons” is a continuation of M. K. Theodoratus’ urban fantasy, "Night for the Gargoyles". It tells the tale of Gillen and his team of Gargoyle Guardians as they defend Trebridge while teaching Britt and her friends – the untrained “reinforcements. Along the way, Gillen and Britt learn things about each other to make them stronger both together and alone.

What People Are Saying
I thoroughly enjoyed How to Kiss From Head to Toe. Knocked my socks off! There were great techniques that I used on my lover with renewed gusto. Brought back feelings of long make out sessions back in high school when we would lay in each others arms in the cool breeze of the afternoon sun and just kiss and explore. - Pam S

This author gets it. She has written a book that in this readers opinion covers a lost art. We all remember those make out sessions on the couch of our parents house back when we were in high school. Remember how HOT it was well this book brings it all back. There is definitely an art to kissing, not to mention where it can lead. It is nice to know that there are those of us still out there that understand this. I would recommend this book to anyone that remembers the art of kissing and how it feels to be kissed like everyone should be kissed. – “canatve” on Amazon

This fun little missive serves as a reminder that intimacy is a sacred gift and should be savored and celebrated. The author does a wonderful job in giving vivid examples of how to kiss, and what makes kissing anywhere and everywhere so enjoyable, for both the giver and receiver (and optimally, in many instances, mutual beneficiaries!).
We can all certainly use the occasional loving tap on the shoulder from time to time urging us to turn off the cell phone, turn off the TV and spend all night ‘getting to know your lover all over again’.
What better way to do that than to start with covering their entire body in slow, deliberate, smoldering kisses?

So, OK. I'm not a true prude. Pretty liberal actually. But I worried that this might booklet might be a bit racey for my blood. I mean, it does carry an "adult content" disclaimer.
Instead I found heartfelt and down-to-earth advice for caring adults. This book isn't big, but it does what it should for those who want (or are in) a loving relationship. I felt I could trust the authors and--truly--I don't think any adult will find anything in it that will make them feel uncomfortable, and many will find a whole lot of ideas to bring some spark to the physical side of love. I mean, elbow kissing? Don't laugh. It's worth a try! Buy it and share it with someone you love. It's sure to get at least a great conversation going!

This book will certainly enlighten many,.... it will certainly get you to rethink and return to an art that too many of us have let slip away from our loving over the years. This book will help you rekindle old practices and add new ones to your partner's delight! - Othniel J. Seiden "Otti"

I never really thought about the benefits of reading a book on kissing. When I read this e-book, I was surprised to find out how little I really knew about how to increase the joy and pleasure of my partner’s and my own satisfaction. An interesting part of the book for me was to learn where to kiss and the responses that your partner receives from those certain areas of the body. The author suggested so many places to kiss that I never even considered. Her tips to a great kiss were very good and helpful. The colorful pictures and larger print made the reading both easier and more enjoyable.

NEW BLOG POST > #FEATURED #KINDLE #BOOK ● ▸▸▸👰 The Marked Bride (Shadow Watchers Book 1) @vickihinze
THE SHADOW WATCHERS RETURN!
In Seagrove Village, former Shadow Watcher, Tim, receives a stunning text from his ex-fiancé, Mandy, on their secure phone. She’s in trouble and needs help. Against objections—she’d broken their engagement to marry another man—Tim responds, and discovers NINA, Nihilists in Anarchy, an international terrorist group the Shadow Watchers have faced before, is after the team again. This time, through Mandy.
The breakup had devastated Tim, but what he discovers now forces him to work with Mandy to reveal yet another layer of operatives in the NINA organization. A layer that, for Mandy, strikes close to home and makes her The Marked Bride.
Few are who they seem. Facts are mercurial. And even those fighting this enemy on the Shadow Watchers’ side are withholding vital information that endangers all the Shadow Watchers’ lives, leaving Tim and Mandy wondering. Can they reveal the truth and protect the nation’s interests? Can the team succeed at fighting the enemy and its own side?
When all is done, who will survive? And of the survivors, if Tim and Mandy are among them, will they stand together or be robbed of their future once again and be forced apart forever?
The Shadow Watchers were introduced in Crossroads Crisis Center series:
Book 1: Forget Me Not (Ben)
Book 2: Deadly Ties (Mark)
Book 3: Not This Time (Joe)
And continue in their own Shadow Watchers series:
Book 1: The Marked Bride (Tim)

Allyssa is a young college student living her life to please her upper-crust family who want her to take business courses, join her father’s business, and marry the “right” man. Allyssa loves animals and yearns to take courses that speak to her heart, but her family are deaf to her pleas and she is unable or unwilling to stand up to them.
Fiona is an older, more established woman; a veterinarian working towards the goal of starting her own large animal practice. When a young woman arrives on her doorstep one night carrying a dog she may have fatally injured with her car, Fiona is thrown for a loop.
Vetted—a life that neither woman anticipated, but each learns they want desperately.
Will their families, the fates, and rustlers finally bring these women to their knees? The only way they can survive is to stand strong together, but are they both ready to fight for what they want? Only time will tell….

The Egyptian civilization began in 3150 BC with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh. Its history is that of a series of stable kingdoms, separated by some less stable periods.
The success of the ancient Egyptian civilization came partly from its ability to adapt to the conditions of the Nile River valley for agriculture. The predictable flooding and controlled irrigation of the fertile valley produced surplus crops, which supported a more dense population, and social development and culture.
With resources to spare, the administration sponsored mineral exploitation of the valley and surrounding desert regions, the early development of an independent writing system, the organization of collective construction and agricultural projects, trade with surrounding regions, and a military intended to defeat foreign enemies and assert Egyptian dominance.
The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians include quarrying, surveying and construction that supported the building of monumental pyramids, temples, and obelisks. They also developed a system of mathematics, a practical and effective system of medicine, irrigation systems and agricultural production techniques, the first known planked boats, Egyptian faience and glass technology, new forms of literature.
Egypt’s art and architecture were widely copied, and its antiquities carried off to far corners of the world. Its monumental ruins have inspired the imaginations of travelers and writers for centuries. And it’s not over!
Awakened from his 5000 year slumber, Pharaoh Sobek II proclaims that Egypt’s future lies in its past. Restoration of historic sites up and down the Nile, including Thebes will call to people around the world to witness the renaissance.

Did you think the gods would leave you alone, Pacorus? Did you truly believe the Romans would forget the humiliation of Carrhae and not rest until they had won back their lost eagles?
Pacorus had believed the defeat of Crassus would signal the end of Roman interest in Parthia and for many years his kingdom knew peace and prosperity. But the vindictiveness of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt draws him and the Parthians into a new war, one in which they would be fighting for their very existence when her husband Mark Antony invades the empire at the head of over one hundred thousand men.
At first the new high king of the Parthian Empire refuses the assistance of Pacorus and his famed army, but as disaster follows disaster only Dura’s soldiers can save the empire from being swallowed whole by the Romans. An older, wiser Pacorus is forced to take the field against the might of Rome once more in a war that will be a turning point for him, the empire and his family.
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
“Know Yourself” addresses a matter of fundamental importance that is mostly ignored in today’s world. It’s the birth endowment that defines each of us in a special way. These are the aptitudes with which we were born. Out of the possible twenty, most people are endowed with six, of which two or three, are the strongest. This birthright lasts your whole life, never goes away.
The influence of your birthright is extraordinarily significant. It determines the directions of your best successes and enjoyment of what you do. Yet, if questioned about aptitudes, most people respond with a look of puzzlement. Yet, the knowledge of what, at your core, is operational from birth, is worth everything.
“Know Yourself” describes how birth endowment discoveries took place in the past one hundred years. Most exciting is the knowledge you will gain that will change your life. Don’t wait. Begin NOW!
