As an intergalactic cop gifted with psionic abilities, Maurra instinctively went to the Ellinod's defense when she saw the immense and bestial-looking alien being attacked by a group of vicious Kronners. Little did she know what the Kronners had planned for her and the Ellinod until she woke up naked in a cell inside their ship. And it wasn't long before she found out a translation device had been implanted against her spine, debilitating her and making her helpless with pain whenever she tried to use her psi powers. Neither she nor the Ellinod had any idea how twisted their captors were, but they soon discovered that she and the beast were at the mercy of someone who expected them to "entertain" his "customers", and entertain them well regardless of the consequences. (Note: This book was previously released as Captive Surrender. It has been restored to its original content, including more than 7K additional words, and re-edited.)

Celebrating the release of Walt Disney's much-anticipated live-action version of the beloved 1991 animated feature, LIFE delivers the fascinating story behind the fairy tale itself-from its hidden origins as an ancient, sometimes bawdy story told by firesides (did you know the beast was once depicted as a pig?) to its later incarnations as a Brothers Grimm tale, a classic French film, a hit television series-even an opera. Culminating in a behind-the-scenes look at the new musical starring Emma Watson, this is an enchanting look at the enduring power of a story that began "Once upon a time..."

Intertextuality has signaled change, appropriation, adaptation, and derivation. It has focused readers on irresolvable questions of influence and origination, progressive or regressive movement across continents, periods, and media. Inhabited by Stories: Critical Essays on Tales Retold takes a different approach. What would a model of literary study look like that steps out of time’s river and embraces not only the presence and proximity of the world to the senses, but also of the past and the future to the present here and now? When stories inhabit us, imagination and memory extend our ability to see and feel. Phenomenological experience is lived, not just thought. Such a perspective suggests that the past and future inhabit the present, increase the depth of sensory perception itself, and enrich the range of our affective and ethical responses. Grounded in the lived experience of reading, this perspective offers an alternative to an idea of intertextuality as simply following lines of influence and appropriation. It focuses on the expansion of experience created by telling and retelling stories. Ironically, for literary theorists and critics, perhaps the highest form of both praise and critique is a tale retold, since such retellings attest to literature’s instructive power and its perennial regeneration.

Welcome to the world of Xeno Sapiens, where humans have taken alien DNA and created new beings in underground labs. One of those beings is Beast—the strongest there is. Beast's mate doesn't even know she's his. Controlling his immense strength means he'll hold off on claiming her… and thus, scaring her. But when humans take what's his, all holds are off and he'll move heaven and hell to get her back. Sunny has a hidden strength of her own. A dangerous power that can sap the life energy—the soul—of another during high emotion. She'll keep away because the last person she wants to hurt—and the person she feels strongest about—is Beast. There may be more pain in fighting her desire than in defending his soul. * The story behind the series: When futuristic Earth finds alien DNA and creates a new species of hybrids in hidden labs, Dr. Robyn Saraven helps the "creatures" escape. She uses her connections to establish their own city on Earth-Ground where they can learn, grow, and avoid the corruption and greed that created them. * Other books in the Genetically Altered Humans Series: Book 1—Xeno Sapiens Book 2—Earth-Ground Book 3—Siren Book 4—Beast's Beauty Book 5—Almost Human Book 6—Forbidden Touches Book 7—Coveting Ava Book 8—For Everly Book 9—Assassin's Mate Book 10—Sextet Book 11—Tempting Tempest Book 12—Falling For Trance Book 13—Damaged Goods Book 14—Alien's Bride Book 15—Dual Lives Book 16—Reson's Lesson Book 17—A Mate For Max Book 18—Dragon's Mate Book 19—Fated "Rena Marks's Xeno Sapiens series is intelligent, funny, and wildly erotic.

This book explores how contemporary fantastic fiction by women writers responds to the past and imagines the future. The first two chapters look at revisionist rewritings of fairy tales and historical texts; the third and fourth focus on future-oriented narratives including dystopias and space fiction. Writers considered include Margaret Atwood, Octavia E. Butler, Angela Carter, Ursula K. Le Guin, Doris Lessing, and Jeanette Winterson, among others. The author argues that an analysis of how past and future are understood in women's fantastic fictions brings to light an "ethics of becoming" in the texts--a way of interrupting, revising and remaking problematic power structures that are tied to identity markers like class, gender and race. The book reveals how fantastic fiction can be read as narratives of disruption that enable the creation of an ethics of becoming.
