Through the use of poetry and prose, I hope to express the love, affection, tenderness and devotion which I first found with my family in our big log house, far back in the woods. I want to show how the urge to write about my life has followed me along moutain trails, down city streets, and within my own special friendships and romantic adventures. All those events do not hold a candle to the importance of raising my beautiful children, or to the myriad of the ongoing spendid experiences with my grandchildren and great grandchildren! Happy reading!

This book is the second of two volumes in an edited collection that brings together the unpublished letters of the extended Clairmont family, for the first time. The letters, housed in the Carl H. Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and His Circle at the New York Public Library, inform our understanding of the Shelley-Godwin circle through the experiences and thoughts of their descendants. The correspondence also enables us to see into the contemporary social history of nineteenth-century families living in Europe and Australia, dealing with subjects such as the conflicts in Europe, woes in the European financial markets, and the effects of Australian pioneer life on immigrants to that country. The Clairmont Family Letters, 1839–1889 improves upon scholarship made by other Shelley and Clairmont collections and is furnished with editorial notes and apparatus from Dr. Sharon Joffe. These volumes will be of significant interest to scholars in British Romanticism.

For fans of HBO’s The Gilded Age, explore the dazzling world of America’s 19th century elite in this lush series of sparkling, page-turning love stories… New York City's Gilded Age shimmers with unimaginable wealth and glittering power. The men of the Knickerbocker Club know this more than anyone else. But for one titan of industry, the business of love is not what he expected… Born in the slums of Five Points, Emmett Cavanaugh climbed his way to the top of a booming steel empire and now holds court in an opulent Fifth Avenue mansion. His rise in stations, however, has done little to elevate his taste in women. He loathes the city's "high society" types, but a rebellious and beautiful blue-blood just might change all that… Elizabeth Sloane's mind is filled with more than the latest parlor room gossip. Lizzie can play the Stock Exchange as deftly as New York's most accomplished brokers—but she needs a man to put her skills to use. Emmett reluctantly agrees when the stunning socialite asks him to back her trades and split the profits. But love and business make strange bedfellows, and as their fragile partnership begins to crack, they'll discover a passion more frenzied than the trading room floor… Raves for The Courtesan Duchess "Original and alluring." —Publishers Weekly "Riveting." —Sabrina Jeffries "Passionate and seductive." —RT Book Reviews "Captivating." —Booklist

Lloyd George once spoke of 'a very powerful combination - in its way the most powerful in the country'. Its proceedings were invariably conducted at Cliveden, the country estate of the fabulously wealthy Nancy and Waldorf Astor. Collectively dubbed 'God's Truth Ltd', the group included leading politicians, academics, writers and newspaper editors. Its pedigree impeccable, its social standing beyond reproach, its persuasive powers permeated the clubs and institutions of London, the senior common rooms of Oxbridge colleges, the quality press and the great country houses of England. Suddenly, in the late 1930s, the 'Cliveden Set' was catapulted into uncalled-for notoriety. It had been identified as a cabal that sought to manipulate, even determine, British foreign policy in order to uphold its narrow class interests. It would use any means, however devious - even negotiate a humiliating, dishonourable settlement with Nazi Germany - to maintain its privileges, those of a decaying ruling class. But was the 'Cliveden Set' a traitorous cabal, challenging 'the constitutional structures of British democracy', or simply an unstructured think-tank of harmless do-gooders? Norman Rose discerningly probes this fascinating tale, brilliantly disentangling fact from fiction, and setting this privileged clique in the wider perspective of its times.

Billy Morgan, an exemplary beer salesman for a northwest brewery and a single parent, sort of, witnesses an attempted murder along the freeway on his way to work. He sees the victim throw a large black suitcase from a high overpass just as the victim is getting shot. Billy calls the police with details from the scene, including the license number of the car, but doesn't mention the suitcase. He knows there must be something worth dying for in it, and he knows where it probably landed. Much-to-quickly, he decides to be the first one to look inside. It was a decision, that changes his life ---not necessarily for the good. As you may guess, there is a treasure inside, worth millions, but it had been ill gained, and later re-stolen by hardened criminals. Possessing it takes Billy into new-found enemy territory and puts his life in jeopardy. It does, however, introduce him to the beautiful woman of his dreams, who, years earlier, was coerced into marriage by -- and to -- a wealthy gangster, and longs for a strong sweet honest man like Billy. And then, along comes Billy! They communicate by phone daily; she lives in another country, Through "Face Time" they fall deeply and madly in love. When at last he travels to meet her, Billy discovers that her jealous husband, who also was one of the owners of the missing fortune he now secretly possesses , knows all about his wife's "clandestine plans," and hires a thug who kills her-- or thinks he does? Could she really be dead at first sight?
