A dark, atmospheric tale of deadly secrets and forbidden love.

Mortui vivos docent.

The dead teach the living.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her. And leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me.

Four years later, I receive an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before. Those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores.

And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Devryck Bramwell, known on campus as Doctor Death, is a brilliant pathologist in charge of the midnight lab. He's also my devastatingly handsome professor, who seems to loathe tenacious first-years, like me. Except, his dark and enigmatic gaze tells me all the ways he'd devour me if given the chance, and his stolen kisses burn my lips with forbidden jealousy.

I crave his authority.

He aches for redemption.

Together, we're toxic. Delicious fodder for the prying eyes hellbent on exhuming the rotted skeletons of our pasts.

For the dead have much to teach, and it's only a matter of time before Dracadia's most depraved secret is resurrected.

In the heart of tumultuous times, amidst the grandeur of Victorian opulence, there existed an American socialite whose influence altered the course of the Anglo-Irish treaty: Lady Hazel Lavery

Boston-born Hazel ascended from her Irish roots to become the quintessential Society Queen of Chicago, and later London, where she lived a delicate dance between two worlds: one with her esteemed husband, Sir John Lavery, a portrait artist to royalty, and the other with Michael Collins, the daring Irish rebel whose fiery spirit ignited her heart. Together, they formed a love triangle that echoed through the corridors of power at 10 Downing Street, London.

Hazel's wit and charm touched on the lives of the who's-who of England including Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw and Evelyn Waugh. The image of her memorable face graced the Irish note for close to half-a-century.

Even the most powerful love can't save a condemned soul

Pain is an abyss.

How naive of me to think I'd already reached the very depths of it when fate shook my world with a crushing blow. It turns out, there are fathomless levels of pain, like a winding labyrinth of doors leading to shadowy figures and long-forgotten secrets. The kind of inescapable descent into madness that twists nightmares into reality.

What lies at the end of this obscure path I have yet to discover, but where it begins, is a place called Infernium. An asylum, feared by those in Nightshade and untrodden by the angels who've forsaken its many lost souls.

Some say it's the gateway to hell.

Others believe it's where you go when the last flicker of hope dies out.

For me, it's where I've damned myself for eternity-my penance for a crime against the heavens, and home to the demons that claw at my mind.

Yet, not even they stand a chance against my dark angel, Jericho. He fears nothing. Except losing me.

The longer I remain trapped, though, the stronger this darkness inside of me grows. A duality dividing my heart between love and revenge.

And, soon, saving me may no longer be an option.

But the limelight is starting to burn and the things that once appealed to her as a young aspiring singer no longer shine with the brilliance of newly formed diamonds. Not to mention her overbearing momager who works her to the bone to make hit after hit. In the only way she knows how to escape life in her gilded prison she dawns a disguise and runs away. All the way to the small, quiet, unknown town of Snowberry, Montana.

Here she hopes to blend in and enjoy her small piece of sanctuary in the woods. Sanctuary that's interrupted by the town's mayor and-unbeknownst to her-owner of the cabin she's renting. But there's more to the tall dark and handsome Hunter Evans than just being town mayor, he's also a wolf shifter. And that's not all, supposedly she's his mate.

What more could a girl have to deal with while hiding from the paparazzi, a controlling mother, and millions of fans? Nothing much, just a blackmailing mob boss elf who wants the town of Snowberry for himself.

Caught between the unspoken rules of the non-human world and his need to protect his newly found mate, Hunter must decide; break the rules and keep the girl, or follow the rules and possibly lose his mate and the well-hidden haven they've built for non-humans?

Meet the Devil of Blackthorne Manor ...

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born.

Funny how things changed over time. How the fairy tale twisted into something far more crooked, darker than I ever imagined.

In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn't searching for me. He never was.

Lucian Blackthorne is as cursed as I am, and equally shunned by the locals, the fishers of men, who believe him to be the devil in the flesh.

Perhaps he is, with the way his amber eyes draw me in, ignite me like an infernal blaze. And the sins he whispers in my ear are as wickedly intoxicating as the man himself.

Yet, his touch is heaven and his will is my weakness.

He calls us forbidden, an unsalvageable tragedy, with no happy end. Maybe we are. But in this story, he's the one who needs saving.

Master of Salt & Bones is a dark modern gothic contemporary standalone romance.

Someone knows . . . Is it you? Are you the key to solving one of these heartbreaking cases? We don't know what we know. The mention of a name, a distinct scent unearthing a memory long buried, a shared reminiscence with someone who reveals that tiny detail. you'd forgotten - these are the things that spark our recollections. The sharing of a seemingly insignificant detail locked in our episodic memory could trigger a landslide of leads for investigators.

We live in an age when younger African-American Christians are asking tough questions that previous generations would dare not ask. This generation doesn't hesitate to question the validity of the Scriptures, the efficacy of the church, and even the historicity of Jesus. Young people are becoming increasingly curious about what role, if any, did people of African descent play in biblical history? Or, if the Bible is devoid of Black presence, and is merely a book by Europeans, about Europeans and for Europeans to the exclusion of other races and ethnicities? Dr. Theron D. Williams makes a significant contribution to this conversation by answering the difficult questions this generation fearlessly poses. Dr. Williams uses facts from the Bible, well-respected historians, scientists, and DNA evidence to prove that Black people comprised the biblical Israelite community. He also shares historical images from the ancient catacombs that vividly depict the true likeness of the biblical Israelites. This book does not change the biblical text, but it will change how you understand it.This Second Edition provides updated information and further elucidation of key concepts. Also, at the encouragement of readership, this edition expands some of the ideas and addresses concerns my readership felt pertinent to this topic.

A Yorkshire orphan struggling for opportunity against 18th-century odds reluctantly transforms into a Venetian courtesan during the Empire's last days.

Renna Covert dreams of a world beyond her Yorkshire life shelling cotton. Having an unlikely education, she hopes to be a maid or even a governess one day. On a fateful night, she meets two men from the West India Company with connections to a country estate and a way out of her urchin life. But before taking a position in the estate's scullery, Renna discovers a girl at the local asylum bearing burn scars like those on her back. She uncovers proof that the girl is her sister. But an unexpected foe disrupts her hunt to unearth her family's dark legacy and has Renna committed to the asylum. With her friends' help, Renna escapes to the Venetian Ghetto. Danielle, a former courtesan, takes Renna in, but only under the condition that she trains in the one profession Renna fought to avoid-prostitution.

Renna's life transforms from an orphaned waif to a lavish courtesan. Although there are freedoms in her new world, Renna detests what she's become and longs for the family she's never known. She reaches her emotional breaking point when she learns of Danielle's aims to sell her into slavery. Having survived with only her wits, opportunity, and a bit of luck, Renna crafts a plan to leave Venice on Carnival night, possibly abandoning the freedom she's gained and the history she's yet to understand. She confronts the fiend behind her family's misfortune in her fight for independence. As Venice concedes to Napoleon in 1797, a life of agency is on the horizon, and Renna's prospects could catapult her out of poverty into an unimaginable future.

THE CURSE OF MAIDEN SCARS is a coming-of-age, women's fiction novel with gothic flair set in the tradition of Victoria Mas' THE MADWOMAN'S BALL, and Sarah Dunant's IN THE COMPANY OF THE COURTESAN, with the sensuality of LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER.

Art and science were not always pitted against each other: they were once perceived as two sides of the same great and terrible coin. Spiritus Ex Machina, the debut collection from author LC von Hessen, explores this duality of creation in 14 stories, following an introduction by Michael Cisco (The Divinity Student, Antisocieties, Weird Fiction: A Genre Study).

Within this collection, painters, photographers, dancers, doctors, scholars, engineers, occultists, bureaucrats, plutocrats, restaurateurs, pro-dommes, mad scientists, and various hapless folk all become embroiled in the Unknowable. From 18th-century French salon to contemporary Brooklyn apartment, from traveling carnival to libertine nightclub to body-horror laboratory, explore the dark side of the creative urge among phantasmic machines, dubiously ethical biomedical experiments, unsettling art installations, and a discomforting array of Uncanny Valley denizens. Become a human worm, traverse the dreams of an automaton, perform necromancy through antique film reels, join a secret society in the bowels of a Gilded Age factory-and remember to never, ever trust a face.

An anthology of poetry about the beauty, humble and grand, that is found in birds of all varieties. Divided into five sections, Hatch, Flight, Perch, Song and Nest, everything from the lowly wren to the mysterious owl, from the blackbird to the bluebird, the robin to the crow and more are celebrated. Contributors to the anthology are largely from Minnesota and include Thomas R. Smith, Julia Klatt Singer, D.E. Green, Diane Jarvenpa, Jim Rogers, Mike Hazard, Becky Boling, Rob Hardy, Donna Isaac and Klecko. A beautiful gift book for a bird lover.

The story revolves around themes of survival, motherhood, and love, drawing inspiration from the author's own family history. The narrative is framed by a mysterious discovery of Armenian dolls at Victoria's grave many years later, which leads her on a quest for redemption as an immigrant, wife, sister, and aunt.

This special 10th Anniversary oversized hardcover Deluxe Edition commemorates completion of the Necronomicon Shadows cycle of 'Mardukite Core' material in 2012 and is sure to become a prized addition to your personal library.

A refreshingly coherent revelation for our times, illuminating long-lost remnants of primordial spirituality, ancient Mesopotamian religion, Sumerian Anunnaki mythology and a hidden mystery tradition developed during a nearly-prehistoric Babylonian era of magic and Otherworldly encounters.

NOVEM PORTIS includes the full text of two underground esoteric classics by Joshua Free -- Necronomicon Revelations: The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows (Liber-R+9) and Crossing to the Abyss: A Mardukite Guide to the Simon Necronomicon (Liber-555) -- in hardcover for the first time. Mardukite Academy lecture transcripts and other bonus materials have also been added, making this the definitive edition of the collected work.

From original Anunnaki traditions to the origins of all worldly and metaphysical systems; from the Yezidic and Persian lore of the Ancient Near East to the past century of underground occult traditions, such as those inspired by Aleister Crowley and Kenneth Grant; from the archetypal themes present in the Delomelanicon to the experiences of the millions of people who have read, or even used, Simon's Necronomicon... No cuneiform tablet is left unturned, no dark corner left undiscovered, in this amazing and concise guide to the forbidden knowledge lost thousands of years ago, and yet now covertly infused within the heart of all magick, religion and spirituality on the planet today.

World renown director of the Mardukite Research Organization and founder of Mardukite Zuism and the Systemology Society, invites the Seeker on an incredible and practical occult journey into underground esoterica, unlike anything ever published before. Joshua Free candidly reveals how spiritual beings and alien intelligences have increasingly influenced the imaginations of metaphysical writers and fantasy artists, primordial gods seeking to have their stories told and knowledge of their existence reborn.

And what's more: the power and influence of this invisible hand appear to be behind all of the primary systems installed into human civilization, whether social, civic or mystical, since the time of the ancient Sumerians, thousands of years ago...

This volume makes a perfect companion to the newly released 15th Anniversary oversized hardcover Deluxe Edition of Necronomicon: The Complete Anunnaki Bible (also available separately from JFI Publications).

Sixteen-year-old Renna Covert toils away in the shadows of a Yorkshire workhouse, her days filled with the mundane task of shelling cotton and the dangerous duty of scouting for punters. One fateful night, she crosses paths with two sailors and finds herself thrust into the heart of a chilling encounter at the local asylum.

Yet, at every turn, powerful forces conspire to thwart her quest for truth, forcing her to abandon her scullery work and embark on a daring escape to Venice alongside her steadfast companions.

In the labyrinthine alleys of Venice, Renna's fate takes yet another twist. She is ensnared by a cunning Madam who trains her as a Venetian courtesan. But beneath the veneer of luxury lies a world fraught with danger, where Renna must rely on her wit and resilience to navigate the treacherous waters of deceit and betrayal.

Set against the backdrop of Venice's tumultuous Napoleonic invasion of 1797, this is a tale of a girl's struggle for survival. It is a story of resilience, defiance in the face of adversity, and, ultimately, one young woman's determination to reclaim her identity.

I'm An American is an anti-textbook in that it is written by one person, not a team of historians, it includes personal history, it includes comic book pages, and it is not bound to any corporate publisher. The book covers early American history from the arrival of the first native inhabitants of North America through the American Civil War. I'm An American provides a concise approach to surveying early American history in an exciting way that is not afraid to break from the tired mold of the textbooks produced by multi-million-dollar publishers. Professor Solheim is bound to no one except himself and his students, which is a sacred commitment. He is at the end of his career and not looking for another one. His mission is to continue to inspire and empower young minds for as long as possible. Solheim insists that: We must not be timid in examining our nation's history. We must be heralds of truth and offer brilliantly inspired perspectives, not philosophical dogma, not socially acceptable dry facts, not an accountant's truth. Keeping in mind that art is more valuable than such lifeless truth, in the words of German filmmaker Werner Herzog, this is an ecstatic truth. Let us take a chance, take history personally, be bold, mount up, and make history. We ride at dawn!
