Her Faerie Tale is getting awfully grim. Deor Smithfield had it all figured out. She had a great education, a new job teaching at a good university, and a plan to move across the country to start her new life. Then her body betrayed her, and she seemed to be falling prey to the same wasting sickness that killed her mother. When medical science failed her in spectacular fashion, Deor's grandmother told her that her long-lost father was more than just another deadbeat dad - he was a faerie, and she's a Changeling, half-human, half-fae. Now Deor has to rush to Faerie in search of her missing father before his magical parting gift kills her. She's in a new world with no friends, no money, no job, and only a few days to find her disappearing daddy before she's kicked back out into the mundane world to die. Oh yeah, and somebody's hunting Changelings in Faerie.
She never wanted to be a Faerie Princess. Deor Smithfield just wanted to find out who her dad was, get him to acknowledge her so the magic in her blood wouldn't run wild and kill her, then go home to her career. Well, two out of three might not be so bad, right? But when your father is the King of the Winter Court, and you're the real heir to the throne, things go from strange to complicated really fast.Now Deor finds herself embroiled in court politics, societal power struggles, threats from rival kingdoms, betrayal from allies both outside and in, and at least one plot to overthrow her father and seize the throne. Sometimes it feels like the only good thing in this whole magic kingdom is her dog. Oh yeah, and in the midst of all that, she has to get her magic under control, keep her temper in check, and wrestle with her confusing feelings about the maddening and handsome former heir, or else she's probably going to start a war before breakfast Winter's Heir is the second book in the critically-acclaimed Eisteddfod Chronicles, which began with Changeling's Fall.

Pepper Adams' Joy Road is more than a compendium of sessions and gigs done by the greatest baritone saxophone soloist in history. It's a fascinating overview of Adams' life and times, thanks to colorful interview vignettes, drawn from the author's unpublished conversations with Adams and other musicians. These candid observations from jazz greats about Adams and his colleagues reveal previously unknown, behind-the-scenes drama about legendary recordings made by John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Pearson, Thad Jones, David Amram, Elvin Jones, and many others. All types of sound material—studio recordings, private tapes and broadcasts, film scores, audience tapes, and even jingles—are listed, and Adams' oeuvre is pushed back from 1956 to 1947, when Adams was 16 years old, before he played baritone saxophone. Because of Carner's access to Adams' estate, just prior to its disposition in 1987, much new discographical material is included, now verified by Adams' date books and correspondence. Since Adams worked in so many of the great bands of his era, Pepper Adams' Joy Road is a refreshing, sometimes irreverent walk through a large swath of jazz history. This work also functions as a nearly complete band discography of the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, the most influential big band of its time. Adams was a founding member and stayed with the band until a year before Jones left to relocate in Denmark. Finally, Carner charts the ascent of Adams as an original yet still underappreciated composer, one who wrote 43 unique works, nearly half of them after August, 1977, when he left Jones-Lewis to tour the world as a soloist. Pepper Adams' Joy Road, the first book ever published about Pepper Adams, is a companion to the author's forthcoming biography on Adams.

A humorous fairy tale about a young girl from a land and time far away who marries a fairy magician. He leaves her alone and suffering. So she marries again. And again. She is happy with marriage number three - a King from a distant kingdom - until his former paramour turns him into a toad. Bad timing, as her hot husband is now pond life. Bad news too for the Institute of Astronomers who supervise regal marriages. Business could suffer. Ecclestica runs her kingdom alone but the king's sisters, concerned about succession, try to murder the toad. The magician returns, annoying both the Fairy Queen and Abdul, who's back in human form once more and war follows as the Fairy Queen launches an attack on the white queen's kingdom. There's the odd reference to literature or music you might catch. The classics and the greats. Which this isn't. But it's fun. And the writers responsible are mentioned at the end, if you haven't yet sorted them out.

Be inspired by the life and devotion to God of Fanny Crosby, blind from early childhood, who wrote over 8000 hymns. Walk with Pastor Randy as he relates the lyrics of this hymn to his own Christian experience and growth. Written to bring modern day believers the same joy of assurance that Fanny Crosby experienced, this work has as its basic purpose reminding Christians who God is and who they are in Christ, and to banish from their hearts and minds all doubt and fear in their daily walk with Jesus. This book will challenge you to know and apply Scripture to your life just as Fanny Crosby did. Enjoy Pastor Randy's anecdotes from his own life and walk, and take the opportunity to be enriched in your journey with Christ or to come to know Him in a deeper and more meaningful way." Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Pastor Randy Adams came to faith in Christ in 1982 after meeting and marrying his wife Rosalie. Together they gained a heart for world missions during the 1990's, and briefly participated in missions work in Brazil. Since 2005 Randy and Rosalie have together pastored Streams in the Desert Praise Chapel in Desert Hot Springs, California, where they currently live and serve God.

What is our place in nature?Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have has exercised unprecedented dominance over nature, with consequences that are now catching up with us. Many have pointed to Christianity as a culprit. Yet Christianity actually teaches that our relationship to nature should not be one of contempt or disassociation. Rather, according to ancient church tradition, nature is a book to be read, revealing truths about its creator and ours. At a time when many moderns are unsure of what difference, if any, marks us out from other living beings on our planet, and of what our place in the natural world ought to be, what might nature itself tell us about how to live within it? On this theme:Peter Mommsen asks if humans should live by nature’s laws.Colin Boller interviews farmers successfully shifting to regenerative agriculture.Caroline Moore introduces some of Britain’s amazing moths.Daniel Stulac wonders what the Promised Land means in Saskatchewan.Clare Coffey defends dandelions in lawns.Rhys Laverty reports on man’s battle with the sea at the Alderney breakwater.William Thomas Okie explores the old idea that plants reveal their uses.Greta Gaffin looks at our relationship to wolves, and Saint Francis’s.Norann Voll remembers lambing with her father.Tim Maendel finds peace by hunting.Erik Varden asks if the Christian teaching on chastity is unnatural.David McBride translates “The Leper of Abercuawg,” an old Welsh poem.Maureen Swinger watches meteor showers.Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to apply their faith to the challenges we face.
