Just a Book is a delightful set of mystical, magical short stories that will capture your imagination as you are transported to exotic worlds far, far away. Be prepared for your heart to take flight as you follow the adventures of each memorable character in this unusual collection of seven remarkable tales. True romantics everywhere will discover just a tiny bit of themselves in normal, everyday Abigail, the heroine in the title story of Just a Book. Abigail longs to become a famous writer, yet her inspiration only comes during sleep, when a warrior hero and his priestess love play out their romance in Abigail's dreams. When a transcript of her dreams becomes a bestselling book, Abigail must learn the hard truth that success can never be cherished if the price is too steep. Each of the remaining stories in Just a Book, from "Embrace in Flames," the story of Nora the doomed sorceress, to "Beloved Enemy," the tale of Sir Sterdan, a dragon-slaying knight, are set against an unexpected concoction of both real-world and makebelieve locations. So much more than Just a Book, these seven short stories will delight readers with a host of unforgettable characters moving through an endless series of fascinating twists and turns of fate.

This book is a collection of short stories. They stand by themselves, individually, and seek to enable a scintillating excursion beyond the common four walls of life. I wish to seduce the imagination with a subtle convergence of storytelling, quietly seeping into questions of considerable moment. Some of the stories are just plain scary. Kenneth G. Gary, Author Wow! This was one of the most complex ghost stories Ive ever read. Nothing suddenly jumping out, and yelling, BOO!. Instead a tale that works on the mind, much like the movie Chinatown. Clues are introduced, taken away, then reintroduced for a conclusion that is more mental than paranormal, showing the horrors that can be found in the human mind. And like Chinatown, this story will need to be read two or three times to gather all the nuances. A true masterpiece of haunting. Not scaryterrifying. Lester K. Kloss Jr., television producer. From the blog onwww.themoonlitroad.com. Haunting and Spiritual Stories is a masterpiece, a stellar collection of superb storytelling and an instant classic. Kenneth Gary and his sister Hedy Gray, do Edgar Allen Poe and Rod Serling very, very proud. Their phenomenal stories will transfix and transport you to heights and depths of emotion and imagination never before experienced. Extraordinarily, exquisitely and eloquently crafted, Haunting Spiritual Stories is a veritable, vivid artistic feast of and for the mind, body, spirit and soul. Quite simply I have not been able to put down Haunting and Spiritual Stories and neither will you! Gary Hines, music director/producer, Grammy award-winning Sounds of Blackness Where Once upon a Time is far more than just a story! Bill Berry Jr., publisher /CEO aaduna Inc.

This volume features in-depth, oral interviews with eleven incarcerated women, each of whom offers a narrative of her life and her reading experiences within prison walls. The women share powerful stories about their complex and diverse efforts to negotiate difficult relationships, exercise agency in restrictive circumstances, and find meaning and beauty in the midst of pain. Their shared emphases on abuse, poverty, addiction, and mental illness illuminate the pathways that lead many women to prison and suggest possibilities for addressing the profound social problems that fuel crime. Framing the narratives within an analytic introduction and reflective afterword, Megan Sweeney highlights the crucial intellectual work that the incarcerated women perform despite myriad restrictions on reading and education in U.S. prisons. These women use the limited reading materials available to them as sources of guidance and support and as tools for self-reflection and self-education. Through their creative engagements with books, the women learn to reframe their own life stories, situate their experiences in relation to broader social patterns, deepen their understanding of others, experiment with new ways of being, and maintain a sense of connection with their fellow citizens on both sides of the prison fence.

How much thinking have you done about gender? What does it feel like to be gay, trans or non-binary at school? How unbiased, safe and inclusive are our teachers, our schools and our systems, and what can we do about it? The time is ripe for a re-think, and the issues are pressing. Our pupils are grappling with challenges around gender and sexuality, and they need our well-informed support. Providing evidence, prompts and the space to explore the implications, restrictions and constructs of gender, this book is here to help every teacher reflect on issues around gender roles and expectations in their class. In this challenging and potent book, experts, academics and campaigners join forces to contribute important perspectives to complement Rycroft-Smith’s own accessible and often provocative explanations of many facets of gender and sexuality, including media, literature, toys, clothing, sexism, expectations, sexuality, gender roles, harassment and consent. Humour and anecdotes are thoughtfully intertwined with fascinating insights into biological and cultural perspectives and societal norms, highlighting why it’s so vital to teach pupils about gender issues, as well as modelling consent, good quality relationships and tolerance to children at all ages and stages of their school career. Providing clear, practical policy recommendations in an accessible and engaging way, The Equal Classroom is an essential read for any teacher or education professional who wants to ensure their school is a place where all pupils feel truly welcome and able to flourish, comfortable and safe in their emerging identities.
