Innocent until proven… demon…

HOLMES

Forcing myself to not be a recluse was the hardest thing I had to do when I decided to go to Trinity College until I met the wrong crowd.

Until I met Vane Wolfgang.

The dean’s son, the big man on campus, the one not afraid of consequences or those doling them out. He feared nothing… but me.

I should have known better than to get tangled up in his privilege.

Recovering from that night, I bled every ounce of trauma into the pages of my debut book. I didn’t hold back a single psychotic detail when I told the world he didn’t deserve to own it.

VANE

I was on the verge of being tossed out on my ass in every way regardless of my last name bearing some weight.

The consequences were catching up to me, and I was pinned against the wall but not by the cops or my overbearing dad… but her.

Holmes Beckford.

I let her taunt me with the hope I was redeemable when I knew better than to let my dick fall in love with the space between her legs.

There was no recovery from that night. Not when every detail was in the hands of everyone in this city, not when her true feelings hit the bestseller list, and everyone was clamoring for more.

These Innocent Demons

Seven Days of Friday opens with Days of the Week underwear and closes with a forty-year-old secret that refuses to stay submerged. Thirty-four-year-old Vivi Tyler is living her nightmare: gay husband, self-harming teenager, melodramatic mother. They're picking apart her sanity, one stitch at a time. She's crawling along rock bottom when the arrival of a mysterious package opens a new door to a new country. A desperate Vivi dives headfirst into the quicksand that is Greece-her parents' birthplace. But it's a paradise far from perfect, and instead of the new beginning she covets, Vivi discovers trouble is determined to keep her in its pocket. Soon she's fighting for her daughter's life in a Greek hospital, clashing with her Greek relatives, and cobbling together an inadequate cage around her heart, lest she fall for an unavailable man. Before this story ends, somebody will be dead. And if some people are to be believed, this particular death is a good thing. A blessing, of sorts . . . .

Seven Days of Friday

Kat Makris was just a kid when her father spun wild and gruesome bedtime stories about Baboulas, the Greek boogeyman, a fearsome creature with a penchant for stealing gold and clashing with the gods. Now Kat is twenty-eight, single, an only child halfway to orphaned, and her father's weirdo fairytales lie crumpled at the bottom of her childhood closet, in the house where she still lives. But when her father is abducted by men with crooked noses, she discovers his old stories were true-true crime, that is. What does Kat know about crime? Nothing, that's what. Her only transgression, to date, is underage drinking. Even her driving record is pristine. Her couch-to-cubicle existence shattered by his kidnapping, and the discovery of his secret and deadly past as a mobster for the Greek mafia, Kat is determined to find her father, even if it means forming an unholy and felonious alliance with Greece's boogeyman ...

These Absolved Monsters

King (Cambridge U.) brings a fresh approach to the study of public symbols by exploring how different motives for commemorating the dead of World War I were reconciled through the processes of local politics to create a widely valued form of collective expression. He argues that contested, multiple, and ambiguous meanings were forged into united public observance by the creative process of establishing new meanings for traditional forms of memorial.

Taking as its focus memorials of the First World War in Britain, this book brings a fresh approach to the study of public symbols by exploring how different motives for commemorating the dead were reconciled through the processes of local politics to create a widely valued form of collective expression. It examines how the memorials were produced, what was said about them, how support for them was mobilized and behaviour around them regulated. These memorials were the sites of contested, multiple and ambiguous meanings, yet out of them a united public observance was created. The author argues that this was possible because the interpretation of them as symbols was part of a creative process in which new meanings for traditional forms of memorial were established and circulated. The memorials not only symbolized emotional responses to the war, but also ambitions for the post-war era. Contemporaries adopted new ways of thinking about largely traditional forms of memorial to fit the uncertain social and political climate of the inter-war years. This book represents a significant contribution to the study of material culture and memory, as well as to the social and cultural history of modern warfare.

With her father still missing, and no news or ransom demands, Kat Makris is sweating under the blistering Greek sun. But when her grandmother receives a mysterious puzzle box from one of the Family's most questionable allies, Kat's not even remotely prepared for the worst. Kat's quest to find her father takes her from the vertigo-inducing heights of Meteora to Greece's pebbled beaches, with a growing number of assassins on her tail. Kat's presence in Greece means times are a-changing, and Grandma's enemies hate change-unless it turns a tidy profit. The last thing they want is an unknown quantity shoehorned into Grandma's tattered, black slippers. As an all-round decent person, one without a rap sheet, it's not what Kat wants, either. But Grandma has plans ...
