Hi folks, I'm C.D. and if my writing sells you'll find out what C.D. stands for, because I put myself in the book and I don't come along as more than C.D. until a future book. Now I'm new at this writing business and before starting to write I was setting around one day, after retiring, and thinking, now what do I do with myself ? I could go back to work, but I was laid off from my last job and I really don't won't to, not for someone else anyway. Even if someone would hire me at 66 which is unlikely. Well, To make a long story a bit shorter. I racked my brain on what to do with myself and came up with writing then writing fiction, not much research in that, then came up with putting all my friends in it, whether alive or not with us any longer also family members most of which are pushing up daises ! which makes for good ghosts ! I do hope you buy it and enjoy it. If not maybe I'll go back to work after all. Yours truly C.D. P.S. I plan on giving most if not all of the money made by me on this to charity, or even forming a charity the book profits would go strait into, but of course thats to worry about after I sell some books.

J.R.R. Tolkien claimed that he based the land of Middle Earth on a real place. The Real Middle Earth brings alive, for the first time, the very real civilization in which those who lived had a vision of life animated by beings beyond the material world. Magic was real to these people and they believed their universe was held together by an interlaced web of golden threads visible only to wizards. At its center was Middle Earth, a place peopled by humans, but imbued with spiritual power. It was a real realm that stretched from Old England to Scandinavia and across to western Europe, encompassing Celts, Anglo Saxons and Vikings. Looking first at the rich and varied tribes who made up the populace of this mystical land, Bates looks at how the people lived their daily lives in a world of magic and mystery. Using archaeological, historical, and psychological research, Brian Bates breathes life into this civilization of two thousand years ago in a book that every Tolkien fan will want.

A perilous mission without back-up. A rookie partner. A mysterious trail of incarceration. And that’s just the start. The GUARDIAN WITCH CHRONICLES COMPLETE SERIES BOXSET includes 3 full-length novels that tell an expansive urban fantasy adventure. Months after nearly losing my soul, I receive a promotion I never thought I’d get. Now, I’m a Special Agent for the Supernatural Bureau of Investigation—but the promotion came with a deadly assignment. Brighton Supermax Prison. It’s where the most dangerous and deranged supernatural criminals have been imprisoned since a meteor slammed into a ley-line running across the eastern seaboard ten years ago. It’s also home to Nikos Volkov, a notoriously dangerous vampire running an empire he controls even from prison. The SBI thinks something is going on, that there’s a definitive pattern to the supernaturals that have been incarcerated there—which must mean the inmates are up to something. I don’t know if they’re right, but I do know my gut is telling me it’s not a coincidence. My gut is never wrong. But it won’t be as simple as posing as inmates. I’m being assigned a rookie partner who is greener than green. I’ll have to keep us both alive and our fragile cover stories intact. Because if Nikos gains even a whiff of SBI presence, we’re both dead before we find out what he and others might be planning. One thing’s for sure: after everything I’ve experienced over the last ten years, I know there’s no such thing as a coincidence.

ISBN: 9780195012705

This celebrated study of witchcraft in Europe traces the worship of the pre-Christian and prehistoric Horned God from paleolithic times to the medieval period. Murray, the first to turn a scholarly eye on the mysteries of witchcraft, enables us to see its existence in the Middle Ages not as an isolated and terrifying phenomenon, but as the survival of a religion nearly as old as humankind itself, whose devotees held passionately to a view of life threatened by an alien creed. The findings she sets forth, once thought of as provocative and implausible, are now regarded as irrefutable by folklorists and scholars in related fields. Exploring the rites and ceremonies associated with witchcraft, Murray establishes the concept of the "dying god"--the priest-king who was ritually killed to ensure the country and its people a continuity of fertility and strength. In this light, she considers such figures as Thomas a Becket, Joan of Arc, and Gilles de Rais as spiritual leaders whose deaths were ritually imposed. Truly a classic work of anthropology, and written in a clear, accessible style that anyone can enjoy, The God of the Witches forces us to reevaluate our thoughts about an ancient and vital religion.
