Sara Donovan is a banshee. Well, that's what her father says. Her mom just thinks she needs a good psychiatrist. When she wakes the morning after her eighteenth birthday screaming her head off outside some stranger's house, she's inclined to believe her dad's side of the story. She can't control her shrieks - not when they happen or who dies - but things could always be worse. She could have a crazed madman determined to kill her, thanks to her newfound talents. Or, she could find out her long-time crush is the next to die.Ridley O'Neill isn't exactly unaware of Sara. As a long-time patron of her father's diner, he's watched her grow up. Now that she's eighteen, she's not the gap-toothed kid who used to serve him sweet tea. His current thoughts would send her mother the mayor into an apoplectic rage, since his family might as well have built the wrong side of town. Also, there's a chance Sara is crazy. She's convinced she's a banshee and he's on her hit list. Still, he can't stay away from her, protecting her from a dangerous legacy, even knowing that her life saved means his is forfeit.What can unbind the ancient banshee's curse? With time running out, Sara and Ridley must choose between chasing answers and chasing love."Enthralling from the first page. First love falls foul of a banshee curse in a mesmerising twist on Irish mythology." - Carol Oates, Author

For centuries, European thought has separated mind and body and consequently prayer has been taught either either as a purely verbal process, a product of the rational mind or as an attempt to overcome, subdue or forget the body. This book draws on the gentle spirituality of St Francis and St Clare of Assisi and the embodied practice of the Alexander technique to put the body back into our prayers and to reclaim the physical as a site of the sacred. Written from within the Christian tradition but intended for those of any faith or none, it contains practical ideas for exploring prayer through simple movements and gentle physical practices, reclaiming the body as the heart of prayer. It is written from the perspective of a professional Alexander technique teacher, ordained minister in the Church of England, and life long practitioner of body/mind disciplines including Aikido, tai chi and qi gong, Each chapter concludes with practices to promote greater peace, physical ease, spiritual depth and a more restful approach to life.

What is it like to come out to yourself as transgender at nearly age fifty? The New Normal describes my journey through coming out, hormone therapy, gender confirmation surgery, and getting legally recognized as a woman. Thanks to my academic background, this book is not just written for transgender people and their loved ones, but also for students of gender studies, social sciences, and medical professionals.Dr. Jennifer Booker earned degrees in aerospace (BS), mechanical (MS), and biomedical engineering (PhD). She was a systems engineer for the defense and aviation industries, then taught computing for 20 years. She has pursued additional studies in psychology, feminist theory, and nursing. Her hobbies include soccer, pole dancing, figure skating, and dismantling the patriarchy."Jennifer's candor vividly tells her story in such a captivating way. It is entirely infectious. This book takes the reader on a gripping journey. It is informative, smart and thoroughly eye-opening." - Bernadette Pleasant, Creator of Femme "Dr. Jennifer Booker is one of the most courageous women I know. She has generously shared her comprehensive knowledge and experience in all aspects of transitioning." - Susana Mayer, PhD, Founder and Host of the Erotic Literary Salon"Jennifer Booker tells a story that is brilliantly evocative in its colorful narrative of the pedestrian aspects of everyday life. I found this presentation humanizing and compelling. With curiosity and humor, she moves us away from the often salacious portrait of transwomen presented by the media to a practical one. She's gifted us with both a memoir of a whole human with a rich life and a helpful guide for trans folks considering transitioning or allies wanting to learn what to (and not to do) to support a transgender loved one." - Jill McDevitt, PhD, Sexologist and Sexuality Educator for Adults"A straightforward, unflinching story of one person's gender transition that demystifies the process from beginning to end. The factual and academic information coupled with the personal journey reveals the complex road and basket of complicated decisions a transgender person must face." - Monica Anna Day "Dr. Jennifer Booker's captivating autobiographical account of her transformation is both earnest and informative, and at times heartbreaking. The word chutzpah was made for women like her. She chronicles how her early experiences with sexuality and disability shaped her journey, and weaves together a complex narrative of the intersectionality of these experiences that help us to understand the social construction of femininity. The resulting manuscript is appropriate for diverse audiences, people considering GCS, and people trying to understand the transgender experience, be they members of the LGBTQIA+ community, medical professionals, scholars of gender, disability and queer studies, as well as, the curious public striving to understand social change." - Jennifer Rode, Ph.D, University College London
