Book excerpt: IN LOVE AND WAR, SOME OATHS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN... Riding into the arena under the furling blazon of the blue falcon, Sir Conan de Corbney accepts a token from the young beauty, Lady Chandra, sparking a romance foretold long ago. That is, unless Conan's mother can help it. Colluding with her son's rival, Sir Tedric, Lady Udele secretly arranges a more lucrative marriage for her son and weds him to Edwina--Chandra's older sister--while Sir Tedric claims the fiery Chandra for himself. Thus begins the star-crossed lovers' quest, amidst treachery and betrayal, for the path back to each other's arms. When a knight is pledged twice, once for loyalty and once for love, which oath will prove stronger? From private chambers to the distant bloodstained shores of the Crusades under King Richard's reign, THE BLUE FALCON is a timeless tale of adventure, treachery, and above all, an unforgettable love story.

From that day forward, Boyce would be the most wanted spy in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary, poetic portrait of two peregrine falcons is one of the most beloved works of nature writing ever published. From fall to spring, J.A. Baker set out to track the daily comings and goings of a pair of peregrine falcons across the flat fen lands of eastern England. He followed the birds obsessively, observing them in the air and on the ground, in pursuit of their prey, making a kill, eating, and at rest, activities he describes with an extraordinary fusion of precision and poetry. And as he continued his mysterious private quest, his sense of human self slowly dissolved, to be replaced with the alien and implacable consciousness of a hawk. It is this extraordinary metamorphosis, magical and terrifying, that these beautifully written pages record.
