Gabby's Wellspring By: W.L. (Bill) Lyons III Gabby Jett is dying. In the gloom of her hospital room, she reflects on those who made a mark on her life. There was an old lady who claimed toilets were a miracle, a high school nerd who showed that people who shake left-handed could lead others to accept odd things, a university professor in a rut who found a student who taught him, an idealistic nuclear scientist who blossomed into a devoted romantic, a manic researcher who proved curmudgeons could save the world. But devotion to her career has created a yawning chasm between Gabby and her daughter Aubrey. As the clock of her life winds down, Gabby yearns to finish a world-shaking project and wrap her arms around Audrey before it’s too late.

The Condition of England was first published in 1909. Faber Finds are reissuing it to celebrate its one hundredth anniversary. Although copies are now hard to come by, it was a success on first publication running quickly into six editions. It has often been likened to Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy though it is more sombre. Charles Masterman, who was in the Liberal Government when he wrote this, provides a penetrating, sceptical and unsettling anatomy of Edwardian England, seeing beneath the imperial splendour a society 'fissured into unnatural plenitude on the one hand and ... an unnatural privation on the other'. This remains a work of acute social analysis.

lluminated by a profound yet humorous vision, Lifting the Taboo explores the specific relationship women of many colors, cultures, ages, and sexual orientations have to their own deaths, their attitudes towards loss, and their disposition to their role as primary care-givers to the dying.Specifically, the book weighs the implications of breast cancer and examines in detail Alzheimer's Disease which, contrary to popular myth, can in several significant ways be perceived as a women's disease. Investigating mothers' responses to children's deaths, Sally Cline establishes that women's relationships to death are intricately connected to the experience of giving birth. They are, she argues, therefore psychologically and emotionally different from those of men. Cline goes on to examine women's roles and responses to AIDS and suicide, women's sexual relationships while dying, how society views widows as leftover lives, and women's radical work in hospices and death therapy, as well as their roles as female funeral directors.

Lifting the Veil is the second novel in the interdimensional travelers series and follows the initial novel When the Goddess Returns to Eden. Lifting the Veil begins with the existential and paranormal protagonist, Rhea Michaels, awakening in the attic from her cosmic journey where she was forced by ancients to view her crucifixion by the Romans. Turner Ashton, the existential and paranormal antagonist, is introduced in the second book undergoing an interrogation by Ross Jackson, the sheriff. Members of the drug cartel, as existential antagonists, continue their plans to assassinate both Rhea Michaels and Max Hastings, the district attorney. The fictionalized setting remains Bell City in Eaton County, Kentucky. The plot continues to weave the fictionalized main characters and supporting cast in a web of crime, torture, murder, and mayhem with both existential and paranormal features. Lifting the Veil presents themes that are worthy of thought and consideration by multiple members of the at-present civilization, including climate change, overpopulation, pollution, extinction, and enslavement. The connecting element of the interdimensional series is a professor, Bradford Wainwright, who, as a character, not only reads and analyzes the manuscript but also is caught in a web of personal and professional analysis. Once Wainwright finishes reading and reviewing Lifting the Veil, he calls Virgil, his literary agent. While they are speaking, the third manuscript arrives and is entitled Aila's Mission.
