when a man approaches me I think he is approaching my body / this is not because I want to distrust him / I want to trust him / like I want to trust the rising tide / not to over-reach its swell / but I don't turn my back on either In her debut collection of poems, Julia Morgan Leatham analyzes the emotion of desire through a feminist lens. Employing playful language and thought-provoking metaphors, Desire delves into honest reflections on sex, power, love, trust, and acceptance. Poems like "my sister then (or loss of innocence)" and "my sister now (or i love you)" explore how time and societal expectations shape the people we are and are becoming. Julia Morgan Leatham searches for answers amidst her own nostalgia to questions like What is truth? and Who gets to decide what is true?
Whose screams are keeping me awake?A nonsensical phone call from a powerful witch was the last thing I needed just before a work trip to tour my hotels. It's bad enough that I'm not getting enough sleep. I'm a powerful vampire and pride myself on making sound business decisions. I should have listened more carefully when my assistant presented me with an opportunity I couldn't refuse. I also should have refused. This deal is a mess, but I can't stay away. I'm drawn there by something I don't understand, and no matter how many times I try to walk away, I keep going back. How could I possibly have guessed that my mate was being held captive at the hands of these mortal recluses? I couldn't know that-because we haven't even met yet. **Content Warning: Explicit love scenes and lots of sexy shifters. Intended for 18+ audiences.**
Falling in love is a dangerous game. I planned to smile. I planned to flash my baby blues and washboard abs. I planned to take Mila Samuels to bed and make her want to tell me all her secrets. I didn't plan to fall in love. I planned to be nice to the new guy. I planned to keep Tony McIntire away from unscrupulous women. I planned to keep my secrets safe, like I have since I was a child. I didn't plan to fall in love. We have so many secrets, but our desire for each other has made us both bold and reckless. I would give him anything. I would die to protect her. When the truth comes out, will our love survive?
You've just passed someone on the street who could be the love of your life, the person you're destined for - what do you do? In this book, five weird tales unlock the many-tongued language of desire, whether it takes the form of hunger, lust, sudden infatuation or the secret longings of the heart.
Desire: A Memoir is a hybrid of autobiography, meditation, and philosophy that explores the existential sources of his writing. Effortlessly blending the tragic and comic, Dollimore’s unique voice relates a life haunted and torn by loss, and the at once intensely personal yet universal experience of suffering and longing.In this moving memoir Jonathan Dollimore recounts a life dedicated to understanding the delight and disorder of human desire. He writes honestly and movingly about his teenage attraction to risk and danger; of wounding motorcycle crashes and lucky escapes; of sexual curiosity as a flight from boredom; of suicidal depression and sexual ecstasy, of his discovery of love and literature and his adventures cruising in the gay subcultures of late twentieth-century New York, Brighton, and Sydney.For more than thirty years Dollimore has been one of contemporary culture’s most influential critics of politics, literature, and sexuality. At the University of Sussex he pioneered cultural materialism in early modern and literary studies and gay studies in education, including co-founding there the Centre for the Study of Sexual Dissidence. His landmark books include Radical Tragedy (1984), with Alan Sinfield, Political Shakespeare (1985) and Sexual Dissidence (1991). In later books like Death, Desire and Loss in Western Culture (1999) and Sex Literature and Censorship (2001) he turned his attention to a fresh interrogation of those dark, recalcitrant elements of desire and mortality that resist utopian transformation. He has held chairs at Sussex and York and lectured and taught throughout the world.

When it comes to libido, every one of us is different… But that’s no bad thing.Differences in libido is a common issue in romantic relationships, often leading to insecurity, conflict and communication breakdown. It can be difficult to find help, as most research on the topic adheres to a narrow, heteronormative model of sexual intimacy — a way of thinking that hinders our ability to enjoy sex to the full.Dr. Fogel Mersy and Dr. Vencill’s Desire rejects this model. Drawing upon their wealth of experience as certified sex therapists, Fogel Mersy and Vencill look beyond structural oppressions like cisnormativity and compulsory sexuality, to promote a liberated, inclusive perspective.Through scientific research, cultural analysis, and practical exercises, readers can learn what impacts libido, how to improve communication, and how to manage sexual anxieties, in order to create a healthier and happier attitude towards sex and intimacy.Whoever you are or whoever you're into, Desire will help you find the key to having great sex and making lasting relationships.Praise for Desire:'Brilliant. . . .

The Door completes the Desire story with Koshka embracing his place in the clan as well as the world. His attempt to divest himself of hindering and painful emotions drops and he embraces them. Instead of pushing his lover away, his actions profess his true feelings. As the conflict with the cold-war style Javis-coordinated rebellion against the Elder Vampires advances, Koshka is called upon again by his clan to risk his soul and sanity to forge a path to victory. He must enter the afterlife of his enemy and retrieve the immortal's true name, and through its use, trap him in a Hell, reserved for another. Javis works with their unlikely ally, The Order, to oppose their common enemy but the level of deceit and misdirection runs deep and threatens to bring both groups to ruin. In his actions to deny the Elder Vampires access to the Third Seal, Volk brings about a climactic end to the trilogy, rendering unexpected results. Dark revelations bring secrets to light, which expose the last Vampiric prophet, shattering the concept of preordained destiny. Given the chance to change the set path to Armageddon, the Vampires hold the fate of the world in their hands.
