Who knew? Not me, so not only was this book entertaining, it was also educational. The what? Yes, that’s what I said not the black market, the gray market. ![]() Lucky and his partner in the SNB, Bo Schollenberger, are back in Eden Winters’ Collusion, the sequel to Diversion, and this time they’re taking on the gray market in the prescription drug industry. Richmond “Lucky” Lucklighter is a pretty simplicated man, when it comes down to figuring him out-straightforward but complicated at the same time. Oh, Rich… Marv… Sim… Reg… Oh, Lucky, whatever your name is… He’s a man of many handles, some rather unfortunate ones, too, as well as a bit of a mess, but a lovable one he is, at that. ![]() Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. ![]()

![]() ![]() This novel was the expansion of a novella Brite had written before titled “The Seed of Lost Souls,” which is basically an incredibly compressed version of Lost Souls. Older vampires can walk in the sun as long as they cover their skin and eyes, naturally have fangs, and rely solely on blood for nourishment. Brite also makes an interesting distinction between young and old vampires: younger vampires can eat like humans, can walk around in sunlight, and have to sharpen their teeth. They are similar enough to humans to crossbreed with them but otherwise are completely different. Unlike your traditional vampires where humans die and are transformed with a bite, these vamps are a separate race entirely. ![]() ![]() Lost Souls is a clever spin on the coming-of-age story with a focus on the character Nothing, who comes to discover his mixed heritage (human and vampire) and realizes that, after years of feeling like an outcast in the human world, he can live as he pleases in good company with vampires.Īs someone who has been obsessed with vampires since the age of seven, I absolutely loved this new take on the supernatural creatures. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To sign up, please use the registration page. ![]() His workshops will focus on disability rights and the intersections of LGBTQI and Disabilities.

This is clear even from the subtitle, "Deceived in Freindship and Betrayed in Love", which undercuts the title. Love and Freindship (the misspelling is one of many in the story) is clearly a parody of romantic novels Austen read as a child. The instalments, written as letters from the heroine Laura, to Marianne, the daughter of her friend Isabel, may have come about as nightly readings by the young Jane in the Austen home. It was dedicated to her cousin Eliza de Feuillide, known as "La Comtesse de Feuillide". ![]() Written in epistolary form like her later unpublished novella, Lady Susan, Love and Freindship is thought to be one of the tales she wrote for the amusement of her family.

These still exist, one in the Bodleian Library and the other two in the British Museum. While aged 11–18, Austen wrote her tales in three notebooks.
