Fifth a Fury
Summary
New York Times best-selling author Pepper Winters brings a new dark romance series to life. This is the final book in the multiple USA Today best-selling romance Goddess Isles! There was a beginning, once. A beginning that started with being sold to a monster I fell for. There was an ending, once. An ending that came cloaked in bloodshed and fury. Eleanor Grace is a simple mortal who has the power to topple a god. She captured his heart, fed him a different future, and fought for a fantasy that wasn’t make-believe but destiny. Sully Sinclair is a man masquerading as a monster. He let down his shields and allowed a goddess to show him a simpler path. However, neither of them could predict the war that was coming, nor the toll it would take. A fated romance. A fight that will finish in tears. The age-old battle of good versus evil.

Nine Days in May
Summary
Moving through the jungle near the Cambodian border on May 18, 1967, a company of American infantry observed three North Vietnamese Army regulars, AK-47s slung over their shoulders, walking down a well-worn trail in the rugged Central Highlands. Startled by shouts of "Lai day, lai day" ("Come here, come here"), the three men dropped their packs and fled. The company commander, a young lieutenant, sent a platoon down the trail to investigate. Those few men soon found themselves outnumbered, surrounded, and fighting for their lives. Their first desperate moments marked the beginning of a series of bloody battles that lasted more than a week, one that survivors would later call "the nine days in May border battles". Nine Days in May is the first full account of these bitterly contested battles. Fought between three American battalions and two North Vietnamese Army regiments, this prolonged, deadly encounter was one of the largest, most savage actions seen by elements of the storied 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam. Drawing on interviews with the participants, Warren K. Wilkins recreates the vicious fighting in gripping detail. This is a story of extraordinary courage and sacrifice displayed in a series of battles that were fought and won within the context of a broader, intractable strategic stalemate. Published by University of Oklahoma Press. "Stunning insight into a largely unknown campaign...transports us into the foxholes of exhausted, dirty soldiers battling for their lives in a strange land." (George J. Veith, author of Black April) "A magnificent addition to our understanding of the American war in Vietnam." (Gregory A. Daddis, author of Westmoreland's War) "This work is a great addition to the history of the Vietnam War." (Robert O. Babcock, president and historian, National 4th Infantry Division Association)

Rain Painter
Summary
Some Contemplative Writing students have spoken about the contemplative writing process as a "river of words" or a freeing of the writing processes. Contemplation is the mental easing of something that often results in the release of more inner workings than initially expected. I find when writing becomes less of a course of nature for me, painting and letting out imagery and color can itself ease up the processes of writing. These past few years I have been deeply studying and practicing meditation, which shares something with contemplation. There is a part of meditation involving physical stillness that comes to mind. In some meditation processes, nonjudgmental concentration is placed on something basic like the breath while much of the rest of what is being done can just be simply sitting quietly. Itches inevitably occur, or uncomfortable feelings that might be eased by adjusting the leg or sitting differently. Holding still through this discomfort can benefit the meditative process by building neurological synapses that strengthen willpower against things like impulses. You can learn more about this in The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal. The reason I mention stillness and the urge to ease it is because “easing” is really my main subject here. Writing and painting are expression and with that they are movement, and there is a place for that, and arguably that is the whole point of a Contemplative Writing experience. When I took my Contemplative Writing course, I was struck by the gaps in the professor's teaching verbosity, as she expressed instruction to the class, I always was impressed by the manner in which she orated with moments to pause in silence. In the course of my last few days of creativity, there has been an interplay between my thoughts, periods of rest, moments of expressive painting, and writing. I have only shared some of this with you so far, the cat and bird painting and the three sequential poems about something that happened to me. But I think it would do a disservice to the disclosure of how I created these things to neglect to tell the full story. The start of these pieces was not a touch of paint to a brush tip or a pen on a pad, it was what went on in me in thought and feelings. You have to give yourself the liberty of being the most important thing. Just know art and poetry are the opposite of narcissism. The start of this cycle of creating is sometimes a vague thing to pinpoint, but this time I can think of an exact moment. I was undergoing deep contemplation in a strange point of time in the course of a day. In fact, I had been sound asleep for hours. It was the middle of the night, and I came to awareness that I was awake only after this occurred. I do not talk to enough people about midnight occurrences to know if this is common. Anyway, what it was that I realized was that fear I was feeling about the next leg of my life was not a necessary motivating force. I realized I can be motivated by anything, so I decided to be motivated by love. (Then later I googled my thoughts and realized John Lennon has similar ideas.) So it has been a few months before I have taken out the paints but something in me needed the paints soon after this occurrence, and I don't know if it more realistic to say the root cause was thoughts or feelings. Who knows the answer to that. It was a moment of thoughts and feelings. I guess feelings came and then thoughts and then more feelings. So I got an idea that I would do some abstract conceptual paintings about fear and love on post it notes without sticky backs as my low budget paper. Sometimes I enjoy working on a small piece of paper because it takes less work to finish, and often my artistic depictions are just expressive dashes, rather than strategically planned instrumentations. So my expression was abstract at first, paint that just was eager to get chosen and splashes of it. A turquoise cloud of "fear"....

The Cats
Summary
Thousands upon thousands of cats crazed with bloodlust.
A giant Doberman pinscher - the most vicious and deadly of killer dogs - lay in a bloody heap, its unseeing eyes still glazed with astonished terror.
A young dropout on an acid trip smiled at the animals that were ripping his flesh from his bones - until he realized that this was really happening.
What was left of a kindly old lady lay beside the shattered saucer of milk she had intended to put on the ground.
A powerfully built rapist in the midst of his outrage felt the claws on his back - and his lust turned to gibbering agony.
All over the vast city it was happening, and no one seemed able to stop them - the police, the army, the scientists. And cat after cat was infected by the ferocious fever that, for the first time, made them the masters of man....

Wedded to the Warriors
Summary
As an unauthorized third child, nineteen-year-old Aimee Harrington has spent her life avoiding discovery by government authorities, but her world comes crashing down around her after she is caught stealing a vehicle in an act of petulant rebellion. Within hours of her arrest, she is escorted onto a ship bound for a detention center in the far reaches of the solar system. This facility is no ordinary prison, however. It is a training center for future brides, and once Aimee has been properly prepared, she will be intimately, shamefully examined and then sold to an alien male in need of a mate. Worse still, Aimee's defiant attitude quickly earns her the wrath of the strict warden, and to make an example of her, Aimee is offered as a wife not to a sophisticated gentleman but to three huge, fiercely dominant warriors of the planet Ollorin. Though Ollorin males are considered savages on Earth, Aimee soon realizes that while her new mates will demand her obedience and will not hesitate to spank her soundly if her behavior warrants it, they will also cherish and protect her in a way she has never experienced before. But when the time comes for her men to master her completely, will she find herself begging for more as her beautiful body is claimed hard and thoroughly by all three of them at once?
