Laura Penbrooke is dead. Her four closest friends can't wait to milk her tragedy for all it is worth. No one more so than Mitton, Laura's bestie, who arranges a simple dinner to remember her BBFL. So what if her camera crew just happens to be around filming her reality show? That's just showbiz, baby And if Paul wants to plug their one-person opera, that's a great distraction from Carol's monotone critiques and Alex's latest lifestyle change. Things may get a little bit out of hand, but as long as they all remember that they are 'here for Laura', the night is bound to be a quiet, respectful night of remembrance. Right? Right. Lights, camera, action
Poemario donde se traza un retrato del alma humana en perpetua lucha con el tiempo, el amor y el deseo.
"This is a beautiful retelling ... perfect for anyone who likes darker-themed romance, horror stories, or plain ol' lesbian vampires." -The Lesbian 52 In the late 19th century, Laura lives a lonely life in a schloss by the forest, Styria, with only her doting father and two governesses for company. A chance accident brings a new companion, however - the eccentric and beautiful Carmilla. With charm unparalleled and habits as mysterious as her history, Carmilla's allure is undeniable, drawing Laura closer with every affectionate touch and word. Attraction blossoms into a temptation Laura fears to name, a tantalizing passion burning brighter than the fires of hell. But when a mysterious plague begins stealing the lives of young women in her home and the village beyond, Laura wrestles to reconcile the truth - that the gentle, fragile woman she loves may be a monster cast out of heaven. Carmilla, the classic vampire novella written by J Sheridan LeFanu, receives new life in this gorgeous retelling, centered on the provocative, controversial leads of the original, Carmilla and Laura. "The writing is gorgeous, the story is enthralling, and the characters are lovable ... I would recommend this story to anyone who loves vampires, adores sweet historical romance, and/or who wants a delicious little snack of a book to while away an afternoon." -Evie Drae, author of Beauregard and the Beast
#What Would Laura Bush Do is a chronicle of personal development and self-improvement entries focused on living and overcoming everyday challenges by evoking lessons learned from a valued role model. Laura Bush is more than politics. She is more than a former First Lady of the United States of America. She is a wife, a mother, a literacy advocate, and for many - including author Kitt Parker - she is a role model. The Former First Lady's capacity for kindness is one of the reasons Parker chose Bush as her role model. Inside, read entries like "Laughter," "Acts of Kindness," and "Pleasant Surprises" to learn more about how the Former First Lady's example has helped Parker through life. Parker is an accomplished writer, journalist, educator, and community activist. She is also a sister, aunt, daughter, and dear friend. While working to accomplish her goals, grow in her relationships, and help others, she routinely asks - What Would Laura Bush Do? By sharing her experiences, Parker hopes to inspire others to ask #WWLBD when they are faced with challenges in their lives. She wants you to find your Laura Bush.

"Women taking ownership of their bodies and allowing forgiveness of self as a form of healing is one of the ways in which I have approached my work. It is as much a formal experiment as it is a societal gift."Laura Aguilar (1959–2018) was a trailblazing Chicana artist and photographer, best known for her images that explore ideas of beauty and the female form in relation to nature and place. In the 1980s and 1990s, she experimented with portraiture and text to give visibility to a range of perspectives from Latinx and LGBTQ communities around Los Angeles. She later began using her naked body as a subject, adopting photography as a medium to empower herself and find her place among diverse interests and intersecting identities. Her images have been increasingly exhibited and praised since a major retrospective in the United States launched in 2017. This publication showcases works from different photographic series that made Aguilar one of the most influential artists of her generation. It also includes one of her previously unpublished artist statements.
In a town like Twin Peaks, no one is innocent... Her murder started the cult series, now read her words for yourself. With a foreword from David Lynch and Mark Frost
David Wilson is one of the UK's best-known and most innovative criminologists. This thought-provoking book stems from the author's parallel experiences in the public eye - as a reporter for Sky News and contributor to BBC, ITV and both national and local newspapers and magazines, especially in relation to high profile cases and fast-moving events in the field of crime and punishment. 'Looking for Laura' provides a window through which to appreciate the media pressures that this can create even for a professor in this field and former prison governor with considerable experience of working with offenders who hit the headlines. The book also looks at the way in which crime is packaged and presented for consumption by a news-hungry public. By considering a range of media situations in which the author has been involved, it provides an absorbing context within which to understand the still relatively new field of public criminology. It has a Foreword by the award-winning investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre
