Lucy's Wish: A Christmas Vampire Romance
by Tracy Phua Anna WinterLucy has one great wish - she wants to find the vampire of her dreams. So it's obvious she would put this heartfelt desire right at the top of her Christmas wish list... again. It's annoying Santa hasn't been very helpful up till now and apart from Lucy no one seems to know of the existence of vampires. But she saw him with her own eyes - when she was a child and he saved her from drowning. After Lucy's first boyfriend turns out to be a complete loser, it seems like there can only be one real man for her - her guardian angel. But how on earth is she supposed to find him? On top of that, her best friend Pia keeps trying to interest her in normal men. And then there's Adam, an incredibly sweet guy she can't get out of her head since he almost kissed her. Really, life could be a lot simpler, and Christmas is right around the corner... Interview with the Author How would you describe Lucy's Wish? Lucy's Wish is a humorous love story which captures the hopeful atmosphere and romance of Christmastime. Anything is possible...isn't it? And how do we envision the world in which Lucy lives? A bit like our world. So it isn't ruled by vampires, but they exist in secret: vampires, werewolves, ghosts and a few other types of creatures. So in the midst of the magic of Christmas, there is also another 'magic'. A touch a fantasy in our midst. Is it part of a series or a standalone novel? Both. Lucy's Wish is complete in its own right, but I have two more winter romances planned for the coming winters, in which the reader will again encounter Lucy's friends and the affairs of their hearts. They will all be characterized by wishes, dreams and hopes. What made you write Lucy's Wish? My readers. I made a survey and a whole lot of people took part. In the responses, a Christmas vampire romance was frequently requested. Va
Lud-in-the-Mist
by Hope MirrleesThe book that New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman considers "one of the finest [fantasy novels] in the English language"Between the mountains and the sea, between the sea and Fairyland, lay the Free State of Dorimare and its picturesque capital, Lud-in-the-Mist. No Luddite ever had any truck with fairies or Fairyland. Bad business, those fairies. The people of Dorimare had run them out generations ago--and the Duke of Dorimare along with them.Until the spring of his fiftieth year, Master Nathaniel Chanticleer, Mayor of Lud-in-the-Mist and High Seneschal of Dorimare, had lived a sleepy life with his only son, Ranulph. But as he grew, Ranulph was more and more fond of talking nonsense about golden cups, and snow-white ladies milking azure cows, and the sound of tinkling bridles at midnight. And when Ranulph was twelve, he got caught up with the fairies, and Nathaniel's life would never be the same.

Luka and the Fire of Life
by Salman RushdieOn a beautiful starry night in the city of Kahani in the land of Alifbay a terrible thing happened: twelve-year-old Luka's storyteller father, Rashid, fell suddenly and inexplicably into a sleep so deep that nothing and no one could rouse him. To save him from slipping away entirely, Luka must embark on a journey through the Magic World, encountering a slew of phantasmagorical obstacles along the way, to steal the Fire of Life, a seemingly impossible and exceedingly dangerous task. With Haroun and the Sea of Stories Salman Rushdie proved that he is one of the best contemporary writers of fables, and it proved to be one of his most popular books with readers of all ages. While Haroun was written as a gift for his first son, Luka and the Fire of Life, the story of Haroun's younger brother, is a gift for his second son on his twelfth birthday. Lyrical, rich with word-play, and with the narrative tension of the classic quest stories, this is Salman Rushdie at his very best.

by Matthew StoverEmperor Palpatine and Darth Vader are dead. The Empire has been toppled by the triumphant Rebel Alliance, and the New Republic is ascendant. But the struggle against the dark side and the Sith Order is not over. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and their faithful comrades have had little time to savor victory before being called on to defend the newly liberated galaxy.Powerful remnants of the vanquished Empire, hungry for retaliation, are still at large, committing acts of piracy, terrorism, and wholesale slaughter against the worlds of the fledgling New Republic. The most deadly of these, a ruthless legion of black-armored Stormtroopers, do the brutal bidding of the newly risen warlord Shadowspawn. Striking from a strategically advantageous base on the planet Mindor, they are waging a campaign of plunder and destruction, demolishing order and security across the galaxy-and breeding fears of an Imperial resurgence. Another reign of darkness beneath the boot-heel of Sith despotism is something General Luke Skywalker cannot, and will not, risk. Mobilizing the ace fighters of Rogue Squadron-along with the trusty Chewbacca, See-Threepio, and Artoo-Detoo- Luke, Han, and Leia set out to take the battle to the enemy and neutralize the threat before it's too late. But their imminent attack on Mindor will be playing directly into the hands of their cunning new adversary. Lord Shadowspawn is no freshly anointed Sith Chieftain but in fact a vicious former Imperial Intelligence officer-and Prophet of the Dark Side. The Emperor's death has paved the way for Shadowspawn's return from exile in the Outer Rim, and mastery of ancient Sith knowledge and modern technology has given him the capability to mount the ultimate power play for galaxy wide dominion. Dark prophecy has foretold that only one obstacle stands in his way, and he is ready- even eager-for the confrontation.All the classic heroes, all the explosive action and adventure, all the unparalleled excitement of Star Wars come breathlessly alive as the adventures of Luke Skywalker continue.Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
