Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliant and harrowing novel” about a deadly epidemic fueled by corruption, based on real-life events in China (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Officially censored upon its Chinese publication, Dream of Ding Village is based on a real-life blood-selling scandal in eastern China. The novel is the result of three years of undercover work by Yan Lianke, who worked as an assistant to a well-known Beijing anthropologist in an effort to study a small village decimated by HIV/AIDS as a result of unregulated blood selling. Whole villages were wiped out with no responsibility taken or reparations paid. Dream of Ding Village focuses on one family, destroyed when one son rises to the top of the party pile as he exploits the situation, while another son is infected and dies. The result is a passionate and steely critique of the rate at which China is developing and what happens to those who get in the way. “Lianke confronts the black market blood trade and the subsequent AIDS epidemic it sparked, in a brilliant and harrowing novel.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Book excerpt: The White Crow The Wolfpire Saga VOLUME II Books 3 & 4 Yin : White Crow, Black Crow Less than three months after being transformed, Heather Rogers finds herself in Moscow, the capital of the newly resurrected USSR whose internal security is again in the hands of the fearsome KGB and its fanatic Party ultra loyalists. Hellish is the doom inflicted upon anyone who gives even the appearance of supporting anything except the Communist Party. Thus to save herself from a fate worse than death, she must keep her American heritage and her blossoming wolfpire abilities totally secret. Yet even more, she must somehow become the girl she is now supposed to be. The Russian born Ilyana Yurievna Kirakova. A girl whom the KGB has always been more than just interested in. Yang : Chekist The KGB wants sixteen year old Ilyana Yurievna Kirakova to serve its cause, unaware of who and what she is really is. Equally unknown to the KGB, is that Ilyana has covertly founded the Dream whose secret goal is to one day oppose the evil threatening to overwhelm the entire world, for the time of the antichrist is almost at hand. Hence the American born wolfpire must somehow keep all of her secrets from the KGB, even as she serves their every whim. Of course, no one ever said that college, family issues, KGB training, and espionage would be easy. All too soon, the time of reckoning will be at hand.
