This book studies the hitherto unexplored history of the shawl and silk industries of the himalyan state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It focuses on the three processes – production, circulation, and consumption – of the textile industry of the region to highlight its socio-economic and political importance in 19th- and 20th-century Kashmir. Using the micro-history approach, it studies the sites of production – the home looms or the small karkhana – efficiency of labour, and innovations by weavers in their techniques to suit the demands of the market. It also locates the impact colonialism had on transforming the labour economy in the Kashmir textile industry. Further, it compares these karkhanas with the Scottish factories or home looms to illuminate many sites of difference and comparison between the working styles and technologies.Mapping a history as complex as the weave on the finest Kashmiri shawl, this book brings to life the interface between culture, commodity, and colonial networks. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, colonial and imperial history, cultural studies, and economic and labour history.

Shunned by his pack for being born without feet and suspected of being an omega wolf, Devyn had a lucky escape when he was found and raised by a bear shifter. Now twenty six years old, Devyn fills his days carving elegant items of furniture out of wood, catering to the rich who can afford his custom pieces. It's a quiet life, but a good life and Devyn never imagined it changing in any way, until his fated mate walked in the door. Rex would be the first to admit he cruised through life since leaving his father's pack at eighteen. Yes, he was born an alpha, but he wasn't interested in running a pack. He was happy living with his beta brother, running his bar, and falling in with hook ups when the mood struck him - which was often. But when he was called to a furniture shop by his latest hook up, supposedly to help move a bed, he never imagined he'd finally find someone he wanted to hold onto. Someone who made his alpha wolf stand up and take notice. Life should've been easy once the misunderstandings concerning a proposal, Devyn's role in their relationship, and other trivial matters had been resolved. But the evil that shadowed both their pasts, is now back on the scene wanting Devyn dead and Rex fulfilling responsibilities he'd never asked for. Throw a magic user in the mix, and it's going to take more than Devyn's deft hand on his wheelchair to work things out. This is an MM Paranormal Romance story intended for adults. It contains scenes of an intimate nature, a few violent scenes and coarse language. But if you're into perky omegas, clueless alphas, and a dose of romantic sweetness, this book is for you.

For Constable Paul Benson of the North-West Mounted Police, monotony is a blessing. As a provision inspector below the Chilkoot Pass during the Klondike Gold Rush, he's seen miserable conditions and gold fever turn civilized prospectors into madmen. Joseph Starling is on his way to the Klondike to find the men who savagely beat him, murdered his eldest brother, and stole their mining machine. They'll kill his youngest brother if Joseph doesn't operate the machine for them-it won't work without him. With time running out, Joseph must purchase an expensive ticket aboard a crash-prone airship. But the station is miles away through dangerous terrain. Under orders, Paul grudgingly escorts Joseph, but quickly finds himself intrigued by the young man. As they make their way toward Juneau, it's not just the need for warmth that drives them closer together. But neither man can draw an easy breath until they make it to the gold fields...and there's no guarantee that Joseph's brother will still be alive when they do. This 42,000 word book was previously published.

The fifth volume of poems which meant to accompany the treasure fleets series. Written by the characters of the books they are essential to understanding their journeys through life, love while they cross the seas to new lands. Each volume reveals the inner nature of the person as they traverse and endeavor. With few words they try to convey the depth of their feelings, longings as they share each other.

They are meant as a way of self-reflection and understanding.
Hell. That was my life. Every waking moment, I feared what sort of abuse would be thrown my way. I was Scarlett Adams, invisible to the world. That is, until I learned the truth. *This book is not for the faint of heart. It is dark and emotional. If you are sensitive to dark material, please be warned.
