"You fool. You have known the glory of the Teuton priest. For the rest of your life, you will want a priest. There is no hope for you now."Swanie von Thaden and her companions bend time to search for the truth, but things go awry from the start. Unexpected dangers lurk in eleventh century Europe, and Swanie soon learns that she may be there much longer than intended. She sets out to carve a place for herself in a primeval land of princes and noblewomen, but she quickly finds that her Teuton peers prove unwilling to reveal their secrets to a brash interloper. Swanie fears that she may never uncover the mysteries of Teutonic history-until she meets Augustin von Bayern, a mysterious young lord that her people mistrust. Educated and refined, his aura entices her in ways she had never anticipated. But he offers his shadowy lore at a price, one which may alter her future. Does she dare to explore the darker aspects of Teutonic magic? Should she bare her heart to one who walks a demon's path?Trigger warning: this novel contains adult language, sexual situations, rape, and discussion of suicide.
"You have wondered why I came to this era, and it ought to trouble you, for I do not travel time lightly, as you believe."Heartbroken and betrayed, Swanie von Thaden works to reignite the flames of her medieval life now that her lover Augustin has been banished. She resigns herself to playing the role of a loving mother and wife to a noble lord that her heart refuses to adore. The excitement and wonder that brightened Swanie's world have faded into a hopeless longing for the night. Only then can she escape her bleak reality to meet her cursed lover in secret. But the Teutons' enemies draw ever closer, and her city's destruction looms in the shadows. Swanie scrambles to save her family from extinction, then prepares to face the end alone. But she achieves a glorious victory as her city crumbles around her, one that prompts her to rethink her plans. Can she return to the future without passing through death itself? Will her relationship with Augustin withstand a demon's wiles-and a thousand year separation?Trigger warning: this novel contains adult language, sexual situations, rape, and discussion of suicide.
"I generally write the truth in my chronicles, for historians should not lie, though sometimes they misinform." I'm back in the twenty-first century, but it looks like my old life has dissolved. My cousin isn't talking to me, Joel's forsaking the mere idea of Teutonic magic, and Hans-my former crush-doubts my faith since I explored the dark path during my travels. Sure, maybe I offered my heart to a demon's servant, but that doesn't change anything about who I am. Right? Now I'm torn between a sizzling urge to run back to my past lover Augustin and a loathsome destiny that pulls me toward a fated mate. My people expect me to ascend as an elegant matron, but I haven't finished college yet. And it's not like I can broadcast the fact that I spent twenty years in the eleventh century. Time travel brought about my people's destruction once, and I can't let that happen again. It'd be a lot easier to just spurn my duties and flee to my medieval lover. But this fated mate thing is breathing down my neck, scratching at my peace-and Augustin claims our destinies are separate now. My heart isn't ready for this.
"That conversation happened a long time ago, and he didn't say whether he wanted you dead . . . or something worse." My one true love has vanished into the past so I can seize my destiny here in the present day. It could honestly be worse. Married to my fated mate, raising his children, reforming my people's chauvinistic culture. I'm finally getting the life I always wanted, right? Too bad Wuotan really has it out for me now. When my loved ones start meeting gruesome fates one by one, that peaceful life of mine crumbles into dust. Apparently, my ancient enemies have learned that I wield the power to travel time. And if I don't hand it over to them so they can wreak havoc on the Teuton people, they'll butcher everyone I love. What's more precious to me: the people I hold dear, or the world at large? No pressure.*If you like dark paranormal fantasies with secret societies, sinister murders, tough choices, and unexpected twists, this is for you. LURID CURSE is full length (140K words), is book five of six in His Name Was Augustin series, and ends on a cliffhanger. The series is sequential, but each book can be read and enjoyed on its own. **Reader Discretion: This book is recommended for adults due to profanity, sexual situations, graphic violence, and mature themes.
Magic is a valuable asset-until it pulls a newbie witch into unwanted romance. Abandoned with mystical blood pulsing through my veins, I struggle to choose the best path forward. My newfound elemental gifts were supposed to help me save my family from bondage. But instead, magic has aroused a compulsion to offer my body and soul to a fiery priest I've never met. My fated mate insists I should embrace our destiny, that we can accomplish more together than apart. Apparently, the entire Teuton community will suffer if we don't unite our bloodlines in ritual marriage. But my mate has no concept of the danger breathing down my neck, or what it could mean if my enemies learn of our connection. Can I rescue my family while shielding my mate from the backlash? Or will the demons haunting my past destroy everything I hold dear?Fans of Discovery of Witches and L. J. Smith's works will devour C.L. Carhart's provocative urban fantasy romance.

A fascinating, immensely readable biography of one of the most important radical intellectuals of the twentieth century.C. L. R. James: A Political Biography offers the first sustained account of the life and work of one of the twentieth-century's most important radical intellectuals.C. L. R. James (1901-1989) was born and raised in Trinidad and became one of the most prominent figures to emerge out of the West Indian diaspora. He authored numerous books and essays on Caribbean history, Marxist theory, literary criticism, Western civilization, African politics, Hegelian philosophy, and popular culture. His best known works, The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution, and Beyond a Boundary are classics of twentieth-century thought. James played an active part in democratic movements in the West Indies and Africa as well as in left-wing and Pan-African campaigns in Britain, the United States, and Trinidad.
For more than half a century, C. L. R. James (1901-1989)-"the Black Plato," as coined by the London Times-has been an internationally renowned revolutionary thinker, writer, and activist. Born in Trinidad, his lifelong work was devoted to understanding and transforming race and class exploitation in his native West Indies, as well as in Britain and the United States. In C. L. R. James's Caribbean, noted scholars examine the roots of both James's life and oeuvre in connection with the economic, social, and political environment of the West Indies. Drawing upon James's observations of his own life as revealed to interviewers and close friends, this volume provides an examination of James's childhood and early years as colonial literatteur and his massive contribution to West Indian political-cultural understanding. Moving beyond previous biographical interpretations, the contributors here take up the problem of reading James's texts in light of poststructuralist criticism, the implications of his texts for Marxist discourse, and for problems of Caribbean development.
C.L.R. James is one of the twentieth century's most remarkable individuals. As the author of the influential book The Black Jacobins, he is widely recognized as the premier scholar of slave revolt; the publication of his acute and sensitive volume Beyond a Boundary established an equal reputation as a historian of sport; and his tireless political and intellectual interventions have become the hallmark of a highly creative Marxist thinker, a brilliant dialectician and the last surviving pioneer of Pan-African liberation.James's work has never previously been studied in its entirety. Now Paul Buhle, a longtime editorial collaborator with James, has produced a rich and informed analysis of his accomplishments. Drawing upon extensive interviews with James, his critics and his erstwhile supporters, together with many previously unpublished documents, Buhle's book offers an appreciative and enlightening portrait of the man and his times. The author also sheds new light on subjects ranging across Pan-Africanism, West Indian literature, British and American Marxism and the rise of third world nationalism.
