This poetry collection focuses on psychological themes resonating in the mind, behavior, and societal morals, which show three themes: fleshly desires, regrettable mistakes, and purging from the past or present. What makes this collection different is that it challenges the effects of a psychological mind in a ritualistic setting that is a deeper dive into behavior, acceptance, own truths, and untraditional methods. Ritual Minds of Entertainment implants the reality and unreality from the consciousness of secular morals, values, and behaviors reconstructed from faults yet brings real awareness.

Goddesses, feminine images of the divine, often are labeled as one-dimensional forces of nature or fertility. In examining a number of goddesses whose primary role is sovereignty, contributors to this volume go beyond the narrow vision of the past to discover the rich diversity of goddess traditions. Drawn from a variety of cultural and historical settings, the goddesses described here include Inanna of ancient Sumer; Mazu, a goddess still worshipped in southern China; Oshun of Nigeria; and Cihuacoatl of pre-historical America.

An intimation of the rapture, the spectacular, the anguish, the travails, and beauties of life. It is the poetry of a human being struggling to find peace in-between the extremes of life. With each poem comes a new, intriguing insight into the dualities of one's being; opening doors that may have remained closed. This book is a voyage beyond the obvious to intimate the bliss of life under its many masks and uncover the common ideas for which to live.

Vis & Ramin is one of the world’s great love stories. It was the first major Persian romance, written between 1050 and 1055 in rhyming couplets. This remarkable work has now been superbly translated into heroic couplets (the closest metrical equivalent of the Persian) by the poet and scholar Dick Davis. Vis & Ramin had immense influence on later Persian poetry and is very probably also the source for the tale of Tristan and Isolde, which first appeared in Europe about a century later. The plot, complex yet powerfully dramatic, revolves around royal marital customs unfamiliar to us today. Shahru, the married queen of Mah, refuses an offer of marriage from King Mobad of Marv but promises that if she bears a daughter she will give the child to him as a bride. She duly bears a daughter, Vis, who is brought up by a nurse in the company of Mobad’s younger brother Ramin. By the time Vis reaches the age of marriage, Shahru has forgotten her promise and instead weds her daughter to Vis’s older brother, Viru. The next day Mobads brother Zard arrives to demand the bride, and fighting breaks out, during which Vis’s father is killed. Mobad then bribes to hand Vis over to him. Mobad’s brother Ramin escorts Vis to her new husband and falls in love with her on the way. Vis has no love for and turns to her old nurse for help…. Told in language that is lush, sensual and highly inventive, Vis and Ramin is a masterpiece of psychological perceptiveness and characterization: Shahru is worldly and venal, the nurse resourceful and amoral (she will immediately remind Western readers of the nurse in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet), Vis high-spirited and determined, Ramin impetuous and volatile. And the hopeless psychological situation of Vis’s husband, Mobad, flickers wearily from patience to self-assertion to fury and back again. The origins of Vis and Ramin, are obscure. The story dates from the time of the Parthians (who ruled Persia from the third century bce to the third century ce), and certainly existed in oral and perhaps written form before the eleventh century Persian poet Fakhraddin Gorgani composed the version that has come down to us.

The Catholic contribution to English literary culture has been widely neglected or misunderstood. This book sets out to rehabilitate a wide range of Catholic imaginative writing, while exposing the role of anti-Catholicism as an imaginative stimulus to mainstream writers in Tudor and Stuart England. It discusses canonical figures such as Sidney, Spenser, Webster and Middleton, those whose presence in the canon has been more fitful, and many who have escaped the attention of literary critics. Among the themes to emerge are the anti-Catholic imagery of revenge tragedy and the definitive contribution made by Southwell and Crashaw to the post-Reformation revival of religious verse in England. Alison Shell offers a fascinating exploration of the rhetorical stratagems by which Catholics sought to demonstrate simultaneous loyalties to the monarch and to their religion, and of the stimulus given to the Catholic literary imagination by the persecution and exile so many of these writers suffered.

A ghost, a psychic, and one very hunky detective, all tied up with a bit of murder and mayhem... Thirty-something, down-on-her-luck accountant Max Starr has the unfortunate gift of being psychic, a newly-discovered wrinkle in her already messed-up life. Her husband, Cameron, is dead, killed in a botched 7-11 robbery two years ago. In her grief, Max has cut herself off from friends, moved out of her San Francisco home in favor of a studio apartment, and dumped her flourishing career as a CPA to do temp work. Now Max has developed an annoying penchant for attracting the spirits of murdered women. Okay, they possess her. And to exorcize them, Max must unmask their killers. But how?! By stepping into the void their deaths created, taking their jobs, befriending the loved ones they left behind. Max goes wherever she has to go and does whatever she has to do, with a lot of help from the ghost of her late husband Cameron and hunky and very enticing Detective Witt Long. The Max Starr boxed set includes the complete series. DEAD TO THE MAX Max steps into the shoes of a murdered accountant and starts to learn that even supposedly boring accountants can have secret lives and secret desires. Max just has to hope the secrets she uncovers don’t get her killed, too. EVIL TO THE MAX Max Starr has another vision of murder, and once again she goes on the hunt for the killer herself, dragging a reluctant Witt Long with her. As she ventures into the dead woman’s life, the deeper she gets, the more she sees that everyone has something to hide. As she stirs up a hornet’s nest, Max might become the next victim. When it comes to Witt and her sexy visions about him, she suspects resistance is futile. DESPERATE TO THE MAX When phone sex operator Bethany is brutally murdered, Max is plunged into her kinky after-midnight world. Barely surviving this crash course in Phone Sex 101, Max turns to detective Witt Long for help in catching the murderer. Needing Witt for his detecting skills is one thing, but meeting his mother is scarier than facing down a cold-blooded killer. POWER TO THE MAX Lance La Russa had exotic tastes and the money to pay them. Angela Rocket, the beautiful call girl willing to fulfill his fantasies, was the last person to see him alive. To solve the crime, Max Starr must enter the world of sex for hire, to the chagrin of her ghostly late husband Cameron and boyfriend Witt Long. But the scariest thing of all? Witt’s mom Ladybird wants to help do the detecting! VENGEANCE TO THE MAX Her husband Cameron has been dead for two years, but Max Starr has never let him go. Now comes her greatest challenge. Was Cameron murdered because he stumbled onto a robbery at the wrong time in the wrong place? Or was something far more sinister going on? With Detective Witt Long’s helping hand, Max must make the terrifying trip into her worst nightmare. Can Max bury her past and learn to love again? Or will the quest for vengeance take over her soul? The Max Starr series is a contemporary paranormal romance/mystery series. REVIEWS for the Max Starr series: “This story is dark and dangerous while also being erotic and exciting.
