For more than a decade, Janelle Taylor has been sharing the treasures of her imagination with romance readers the world over. She opened our eyes to the excitement and adventure of the American frontier with her tales of Indian romance. Now she returns to her most thrilling love story of all-the passion of Jana Greyson and Commander Varian Saar. First ignited in the bestselling MOONDUST AND MADNESS, it continues to blaze in a universe of STARDUST AND SHADOWS Doctor Jana Greysen didn't know what to believe. The last thing she remembered was lying safely in the arms of her beloved, Commander Varian Saar, aboard the starship Wanderlust. But she'd awakened from a deep, drugged sleep to find herself again the captive bride of Varian's evil half-brother, the handsome Prince Ryker Triloni, who was not even supposed to be alive! Even worse, Ryker insisted that Varian was about to wed another. Could Jana have given her love to the wrong man? Was Ryker really the one who deserved her passion? Well-skilled at pleasing a woman's heart as well as her body, he seemed everything his brother had been-and more. In a universe cloaked in stardust and shadows, could Jana ever hope to know the truth?

"You have all the power you need to do good in this world."Nora Gregory is twelve and even she knows she's not old enough to hold the fate of the entire town in her hands. But still, she hears a message in her mind To save your home, you must save the woods. No wonder she thinks she may be losing her mind. It's not like she can do anything to change the destructive storms wreaking havoc on her town. After a fierce thunderstorm traps her and her best friend Ben in the woods overnight she finds out that she has magical powers and the message to save the forest becomes stronger. It turns out that the storms ravaging her town and the mountainside forests caused supernatural attacks-a Penumbra is feeding off chaos and destruction. Nora is forced to decide whether to fight the creature or run and hide. It feels like an impossible decision because her magic is no stronger than a sparkler, and the Penumbra was in the habit of draining magic and life from protectors like her. In order to survive, Nora must rely on her little ragtag group of buddies and join forces with the magic of the woods. She will have to find a connection to her past to face the chaos and destruction threatening everyone's future.

This book incorporates three genres--essays, poetry, and a novella--with the unifying theme of discovering and creating enchantment and intrigue in daily life. The author's writing style is succinct, clear, poetic, and fast-moving, and the book offers sparkling images, expansive ideas, fanciful entertainment, sober social commentary, practical suggestions, and referrals to additional resources. The poetry is exquisitely joyful, and the novella is about a young nature-lover who discovers a mysterious carnival in a Massachusetts forest and, because of this discovery, ends up accidentally transforming her hometown. Basically a work of magical realism, the story includes elements of scientific research and science fiction.

In Shadow Moon and Shadow Dawn, George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, and Chris Claremont, author of the bestselling X-Men adventures, created a new world of myth, magic, and legend unlike any before. Now they bring their epic trilogy to an unforgettable conclusion in a novel of blazing imaginative brilliance... Elora Danan has done the unthinkable. She has slain the dragons that were the embodiment of the soul of Creation. It was a desperate act--the only way to save the dragons from the Deceiver, who would have used them to rule the Realms. Yet in Elora's possession are two last dragon eggs. To protect them, Elora spellbinds herself to her faithful companions Thorn Drumheller, the Nelwyn sorcerer and her sworn guardian, and Khory Bannefin, the long-dead woman warrior whose body is inhabited by a demon's offspring. It is a dire spell that ensures none of them will betray their cause...even at the cost of their lives. And if one of them dies, the magic of the eggs is lost forever. Pursued through a land of shadow predators by the dreaded Black Rose, the Deceiver's commando assassins, Elora and her allies must reach the free city-state of Sandeni. There they will be reunited with old friends: the brownies Franjean and Rool, the eagles Anele and Bastian, and the young warrior-scribe Luc-Jon. But Sandeni is besieged by mighty armies fueled by the Deceiver's sorcery, warrior wizards, and engines of evil magic. With defeat all but certain, Elora must convince the Sandeni people to continue the fight. What she doesn't tell them is that the greatest enemy lies within her. For the Deceiver is her own dark twin from a potential future of unimaginable evil...an evil that lies dormant in Elora's soul. And the only way Elora can stop the future is to befriend an enemy whose insatiable appetite for destruction could destroy all of Creation. Or is that, too, part of the Deceiver's plan? Seamlessly weaving together the many strands of this rich tapestry, Shadow Star is guaranteed to satisfy its many fans...and leave them breathless.

Being raised by the viper who slaughtered my family, along with being beaten and berated by him for merely existing, takes a toll on my heart and soul. Uncle bears the crown, has changed the name of our kingdom Soare to Krigare, and desires more destruction throughout the Fae lands. While plotting his quest to rule all, I'm bartered to forge a union with Cysgod, a formidable ally and one who could ensure Uncle's victory. King Caelum of Cysgod has a reputation that precedes him, defining him as a tyrant as well. He killed his father for the crown and is known to be just a ruthless and bloodthirsty as Uncle. Just when I thought the Gods had forsaken me, as they did the Enkeli and Conroicht, my life turns upside down. While I fear my new king, he and his people see me as their queen. Though he does not punish me, I expect it nonetheless and flinch at his touch. I may be rid of Uncle, but I doubt his hold on me is truly released. Does he plan to capture Cysgod from the inside, using me as his weapon, giving him the army he needs to take and conquer any kingdom? Is there a way to stop Uncle and seek revenge for the death of my kin?

When sound arrived in Hollywood in the late 1920s, Canadians were already holding some of the most important roles in the motion picture industry. Louis B. Mayer, from New Brunswick, was boss at MGM; Jack Warner, from Ontario, was head of Warner Bros. Studio; and Mack Sennett, from Quebec, was still King of Comedy. Canadians like Mary Pickford, Marie Dressler, and Norma Shearer moved easily from silents to talkies - this illustrious trio won the first three Academy Awards for Best Actress. Canadians arriving in sunny California in the 1930s and 1940s were principally actors, including Yvonne de Carlo, Walter Pidgeon, Ruby Keeler, and many others. You will be amazed at the Canadian influence on Hollywood's Golden Age.
