  • Redfang Royal (Reverse Harem Omegaverse Duology Book 3)

    I’m trying to be a good girl.

    Every day, I lie and pretend I’m not a threat. I swallow insults and avoid the electric fence, crossing fingers I can fake my way to freedom before I snap and end up permanently caged.

    Borrowing my sister’s identity is my last chance at escape.

    But Serafina Redfang isn’t just a cartel heiress. She’s the reason I can never mate the pack of my childhood dreams.

    Su Jin, Bishop, Dutch, and Reese already belong to her.

    Now I have to pretend to be theirs. To smile, hide my scars, and let them close before I let them go forever.

    I’m not really Redfang royalty.

    I might not even be a real omega.

    But if the guys keep bulldozing my lies, you’re about to meet the real me.

    I’m Marisol Redfang, and I’m done hiding my claws.

    Redfang Royal is a whychoose omegaverse that includes profanity, consensual spice (with MM pairings), and a mix of darker themes and humor. It is technically a standalone novel, but you’ll have more fun if you’ve already read Pack Darling.
    Please check the triggers and tags before sinking your teeth into Marisol’s story!

  • The Royal Rebel (Jeanette of Kent duology)

    1338: England has declared war on France, and Jeanette of Kent, cousin to King Edward III, says goodbye to her family and travels overseas with the royal court for the first time. Once in Antwerp, she is captivated by talented household knight, Thomas Holland, just as he in turn is powerfully drawn to her.

    Although both know their romance is forbidden, their love for each other grows stronger than the danger they face, and they marry in secret. But before they can make their tryst known, Thomas has to leave for war, and in his absence, Jeanette is forced into a second marriage and locked away from the world.

    Then Thomas returns, and the real fight begins. As hostile family members battle to keep Jeanette and Thomas apart, the defiant lovers vow to be reunited – whatever the cost…

    From the award-winning and bestselling author, Elizabeth Chadwick, comes an epic love story set against the tumultuous backdrop of high chivalry, deadly warfare, devastating plague, and savage rivalry in the twelfth century – the first of two parts telling the remarkable story of a woman who rose from royal rebel to formidable influence.

  • Cecil Beaton: The Royal Portraits (Victoria and Albert Museum)

    A contemporary look at Cecil Beaton’s portraits of the Royal Family and how they helped create the public face of the House of Windsor.

    Cecil Beaton: The Royal Portraits looks back in time to tell a very modern tale: the creation of a public image. Offering a fresh appraisal of Beaton’s portraits of the British royal family, the book explores not only the finished images but also the sittings in which they were created, revealing Beaton’s central role in shaping the public face of the House of Windsor and the ways in which he collaborated with his subjects.

    Organised chronologically, from the 1930s to the 1970s, each of the book’s four chapters comprises an introductory essay, plates with extended captions, and one or two in-depth analyses of a particular sitting. Throughout, a variety of contextual material – contact sheets, test shots, out-takes, sketches, letters, journals, tear-sheets – helps build a detailed picture of Beaton’s working methods, the relationships he developed with his sitters, and how the eventual portraits were received.

    Drawing on the Victoria and Albert Museum’s unparalleled collection of Beaton’s photographs, Cecil Beaton: The Royal Portraits will appeal not only to those interested in the photographer and his work, but also to anyone for whom the distinction between the private world and the public face of the royal family remains a source of fascination.

  • The Language of Light: A History of Silent Voices

    A comprehensive history of deafness, signed languages, and the unresolved struggles of the Deaf to be taught in their unspoken tongue

    Partially deaf due to a childhood illness, Gerald Shea is no stranger to the search for communicative grace and clarity. In this eloquent and thoroughly researched book, he uncovers the centuries-long struggle of the Deaf to be taught in sign language—the only language that renders them complete, fully communicative human beings. Shea explores the history of the deeply biased attitudes toward the Deaf in Europe and America, which illogically forced them to be taught in a language they could neither hear nor speak. As even A.G. Bell, a fervent oralist, admitted, sign language is “the quickest method of reaching the mind of a deaf child.”

    Shea’s research exposes a persistent but misguided determination among hearing educators to teach the Deaf orally, making the very faculty they lacked the principal instrument of their instruction. To forbid their education in sign language—the “language of light”—is to deny the Deaf their human rights, he concludes.

  • The Legal Recognition of Sign Languages: Advocacy and Outcomes Around the World

    This book presents the first ever comprehensive overview of national laws recognising sign languages, the impacts they have and the advocacy campaigns which led to their creation. It comprises 18 studies from communities across Europe, the US, South America, Asia and New Zealand. They set sign language legislation within the national context of language policies in each country and show patterns of intersection between language ideologies, public policy and deaf communities’ discourses. The chapters are grounded in a collaborative writing approach between deaf and hearing scholars and activists involved in legislative campaigns. Each one describes a deaf community’s expectations and hopes for legal recognition and the type of sign language legislation achieved. The chapters also discuss the strategies used in achieving the passage of the legislation, as well as an account of barriers confronted and surmounted (or not) in the legislative process. The book will be of interest to language activists in the fields of sign language and other minority languages, policymakers and researchers in deaf studies, sign linguistics, sociolinguistics, human rights law and applied linguistics.

  • Peirce on Signs: Writings on Semiotic by Charles Sanders Peirce

    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is rapidly becoming recognized as the greatest American philosopher. At the center of his philosophy was a revolutionary model of the way human beings think. Peirce, a logician, challenged traditional models by describing thoughts not as “ideas” but as “signs,” external to the self and without meaning unless interpreted by a subsequent thought. His general theory of signs — or semiotic — is especially pertinent to methodologies currently being debated in many disciplines.

    This anthology, the first one-volume work devoted to Peirce’s writings on semiotic, provides a much-needed, basic introduction to a complex aspect of his work. James Hoopes has selected the most authoritative texts and supplemented them with informative headnotes. His introduction explains the place of Peirce’s semiotic in the history of philosophy and compares Peirce’s theory of signs to theories developed in literature and linguistics.

  • Forbidden Signs: American Culture and the Campaign against Sign Language

    Forbidden Signs explores American culture from the mid-nineteenth century to 1920 through the lens of one striking episode: the campaign led by Alexander Graham Bell and other prominent Americans to suppress the use of sign language among deaf people.

    The ensuing debate over sign language invoked such fundamental questions as what distinguished Americans from non-Americans, civilized people from “savages,” humans from animals, men from women, the natural from the unnatural, and the normal from the abnormal. An advocate of the return to sign language, Baynton found that although the grounds of the debate have shifted, educators still base decisions on many of the same metaphors and images that led to the misguided efforts to eradicate sign language.

    “Baynton’s brilliant and detailed history, Forbidden Signs, reminds us that debates over the use of dialects or languages are really the linguistic tip of a mostly submerged argument about power, social control, nationalism, who has the right to speak and who has the right to control modes of speech.”—Lennard J. Davis, The Nation

    “Forbidden Signs is replete with good things.”—Hugh Kenner, New York Times Book Review

  • Signs (Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy)

    Speech is a way of tearing out a meaning from an undivided whole.”
    Thus does Maurice Merleau-Ponty describe speech in this collection of his important writings on the philosophy of expression, composed during the last decade of his life. For him, expression is a category of human behavior and existence much broader than language alone. He maintains that man is essentially expressive, even prior to speaking: in his silence, gestures, and lived behavior.
