Book excerpt: A brand new look at the extraordinary accomplishments of early modern Italian women artists This generously illustrated volume surveys a sweeping range of early modern Italian women artists, exploring their practice and paths to success within the male-dominated art world of the period. New attention to archival documents and detailed technical analyses of the beautiful paintings featured here--ranging from historical subjects to portraits and still lifes--offer new insight into the ways these women worked and their accomplishments. Essays and catalogue entries by an international team of distinguished art historians examine the works of Artemisia Gentileschi, Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, Fede Galizia, Elisabetta Sirani, Giovanna Garzoni, Rosalba Carriera, and other less known Italian women artists. Through these works of art in diverse media--from paintings to prints--the fascinating stories of early modern Italian women artists are revealed.

Book excerpt: Aurora Award Finalist Best New Horror Selection Cath, a beautiful young sidewalk artist, is driven by a mysterious hunger that feeds from the portraits she draws of her victims. Joe loves Cath still, but as Cath’s hunger grows, so does Joe’s fear--fear that one day she may draw him down. "The best of the bunch...a haunting variant on the vampire legend with an understated and brutal ending." —Publishers Weekly “Highlights among the stories include Douglas Smith's delightfully creepy ‘By Her Hand, She Draws You Down,’ about a young woman who is driven by a mysterious hunger to sketch people and steal their life force as her horrified lover looks on.” —Booklist "I was reminded of the tone of some of Harlan Ellison’s best work...where many of the protagonists seemed to be the unwitting victims of dark, irrational forces.” —The Fix “...a title that rules. ...psychic vampirism, creepy street performers, the horrors of small coastal towns. And Smith took the story somewhere that surprised me. The twist is sustained.” —Jay Lake, Tangent Online “...examines vampirism from an unusual and genuinely horrifying angle.” —SF Site Review "Well done and with a nice twist..." —Fantasy Book Critic "Haunting passages and scenes..." —Strange Horizons “...a chilling, weird tale of an artist with a great hunger.” —The Haunted Weblog “Familiar subjects...dealt with in an original form and with a final turn that will surprise you.” — Bibliopolis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary book was written by a married couple, Gary and Yvonne Betts. What makes it so remarkable is that one of the pair, Yvonne, actually passed away before the writing process began. Gary and Yvonne are kindred spirits, which is to say they are eternally linked to one another, and have lived many lifetimes in each other’s company. After Yvonne died from liver cancer in this most recent life together, her spirit returned to Gary, who had been cultivating his exceptional abilities to communicate with spirits. They have been sharing a unique existence ever since, raising a large spirit family together. Their children—whom Gary and Yvonne believe will be their kids in their next living life—are all the spirits of victims of murder at the hands of relatives, often their fathers. They have been entrusted to Gary and Yvonne’s care because of this couple’s special sensitivity to their between-worlds plights. For individuals with a curiosity about spirits and ghosts, this book is a must-read. In it, Gary shares the secrets of this post-corporeal existence as shared with him by Yvonne, whose death has put her in a position to provide unique insight from the other side. Where much of the popular culture exploring this topic is speculative, this book offers a rare, first-hand account facilitated by Yvonne’s continued participation in Gary’s life. As such, From My Heart and Her Hand offers readers an unprecedented understanding of what it means to die and to live among the world of spirits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the murmur of prayers fills the icy room, mother and baby seem doomed. When the newborn finally struggles into the world, the Count of Flanders flees in a rage. The child is not the expected male heir — but a girl. Growing up under the disapproving eye of her heartless father, the strong-willed Marguerite instinctively learns to survive in the fierce and violent male world of the Middle Ages, with its pagan rituals and bloody fights to the death. When her father demands that she wed a man she detests, the young countess uses all her cunning to stop the marriage. The only thing she cannot conquer is the plague, which marches across the land killing thousands, including the man she loves. Based on a real character, this colorful story is told with sharp humor and is filled with dramatic intensity. The final scene in the book, in which Marguerite and her father engage in a savage sword fight, will remain engrained in readers’ memories.

Book excerpt: A young boy and a young girl would sense a call to serve God but lose their way in their teenage and young adult years. God in His mercy had set a date in time when these two would meet on a blind date. They would carry loneliness and pain into this budding relationship but what had been instilled in the young woman would direct them back to God's planned pathway. This is a story of young love that struggles to find the way as the past and present intertwine ushering in the issues of life's challenges. There is a gradual, but continual change in priorities as the blessing of their relationship with each other and God grows despite the trials that come their way. It becomes clear to them that the God they serve is involved in their lives. This recognition brings a walk of obedience. The gifts of greater faith and trust in God are received as He reveals His desire for a deeper, more intimate walk with them. Your faith, trust and conception of God will be challenged and enriched by this testimony of two lives walked with the Master!
