When Toni Darcy was rescued from a bad employer and a poor situation by Kurt Antoine, she was grateful. She would now be working at his new hotel in Tyrol, Austria. Yet the attractive manageress of the hotel did not seem all that pleased with Toni’s presence. At least she had the protection of Kurt, whose attentions certainly stirred Toni’s feelings... The love tale dating back to the 20th century was written by Susan Barrie, one of the pseudonyms of the beloved romance writer Ida Pollock. A must-read for fans of literary romance and surprising twists of fate. Susan Barrie is a pseudonym of Ida Pollock (1908 – 2013), a highly successful British writer of over 125 romance novels translated into numerous languages and published across the world. Ida Pollock has sold millions of copies over her 90-year career. Pollock began writing when she was 10 years old. Ida has travelled widely, living in several different countries. She continues to be popular amongst both her devoted fan base and new readers alike. Pollock has been referred to as the "world's oldest novelist" who was still active at 105 and continued writing until her death.

With the scholarship to the music conservatory in her hand, Ginny Webster was ready to take on the world, until her Aunt Clara, who lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains, became ill and Ginny goes there to be her nurse. Crazy, unreal experiences await her: from her car breaking down short of her destination, to the horse and buggy ride to the Dorwalls hillbilly home where she meets Burt, their city cousin, to her aunt, whom she fears is dead and her ram shackled cold house without electricity, water, heat, or food. It is permeated with an awful odor and there is no sign of her wild, moonshining cousin, Ronald. The Dorwalls, but especially Burt, come to her rescue repeatedly, providing sustenance, security, and money. Ginny finds love and caring from her new friends, especially from Burt, with whom mutual love develops. Ginny does her best to heal her aunt, who is beside herself with fear over the whereabouts of her son Ronald. Is he in hiding, running moonshine, or perhaps, dead. Whose hand did Ginny find in the refrigerator? Burt left the mountains, and as Clara healed and didnt need her anymore, and the Dorwalls no longer visit, her young heart is broken. She has much to face before she discovers that mountain magic is both a portent of things to come as well as a foretaste.

He is also a Druid in the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, contributing regularly to the Order's monthly magazine, ""Touchstone."" The author invites you to take a stroll with him through his beloved Alps, where myths and folk customs still sing of the people who lived there in antiquity, the Celts.

We will meet giants there, mystical ladies, and the Kasermandl; and all have fascinating stories to tell. Learn what the Alpine people of old thought about Vervain and how ancient magical spells connected folks on continent with their brethren on the British Isles. And finally, you can go with Christian Brunner on a shamanic journey to Mutter Perchtl and thus participate in the remembrance of the Great Goddess.

The Appalachian Mountain range is more than 2,400 miles long, stretching from Quebec to Alabama. Now, the rich folklore of southern Appalachia, with all of its unique magicks, is revealed in Mountain Magick (previously titled In a Graveyard at Midnight) by Edain McCoy. As a descendent of the famous feuding McCoy family (of the Kentucky-based Hatfield-McCoy rivalry), she is the ideal person to share the folk wisdom of these people. The Appalachian folk used omens, portents, curses, cures, and protections. Mountain Magick focuses on some of these magickal techniques, including ones for family and home, romance and children, health and healing. In this book you will learn the traditional Appalachian way to: - Do remote healings - Cast spells for love and romance - Cure warts with beans and a potato - Break a curse - End a headache with a cool vinegar compress - Wash away dandruff with an after-shampoo rinse of hops and sage - Stir up a windstorm by whistling - Use an old shoe to increase your good fortune In today's magickal community, Anglo-Celtic religions seem to be the most popular. Even if you are following a British or Irish tradition, you should not overlook the rich folk magick as revealed in Mountain Magick. Many of the people (and their traditions) in this area come from the Scottish and English immigrants who settled there as long ago as the mid-1700s. That is why you will find information on how to integrate the Appalachian folkways with your magickal lifestyle. The folk wisdom of the Appalachian people described in Mountain Magick is sure to intrigue you with its power and usability. Get your copy today.

Carol Zapata-Whelan describes her son's struggle with the rare genetic disease Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), focusing on the time of diagnosis at age nine to his first year in college (he matriculated as a pre-med student at the University of California, Berkeley, in September 2004). Zapata-Whelan illustrates how this struggle with FOP has shaped and strengthened her family, and how, as a mother, the experience has taught her to put her trust in the universe, and live life one day at a time. Through her son's remarkable grace and strength in dealing with his disease, she has learned that an unexpected encounter with suffering can be a blessing as well. Through flashbacks and anecdotes, Zapata-Whelan leads the reader through the ups and downs of dealing with FOP in everyday life, while offering insight, hope and guidance throughout.
