The town’s underlying ruthlessness is exposed with violent assaults on prominent men and Kelton begins to realize he is in a race against time. Not only must he and Azrael save the victim from her own decisions, he must do it before his budding feelings for Abriella spin around his moral compass.Come explore the jagged edge separating good and evil. And if you lose your way in the blackness and despair, know that trust in a dog will lead you back to the light of the high ground.SPECIAL NOTICEI’m proud to be providing half of net royalties through March 1st 2017 to the Warrior Dog Foundation (http://warriordogfoundation.org/).

Excerpt from A Book of Nursery Rhymes: Being Mother Goose's Melodies, Arranged in the Order of Attractiveness and InterestIt will be seen from the present collection that not only do these rhymes and 31ngles fall naturally into the four great divisions of Mother Play, Mother Stories, Child Play, and Child Stories, but there is a logical order in which each section may be advantageously presented to the child, an order which, by the way, the mother-instinct almost always finds out without any consciousness of following a law. The mother may generally be safely trusted to present these rhymes and jingles to the child in the natural order of the awaken ing of the child's interest and growing intelligence. She is not governed by the hardness of the words, the difficulty of the sentences, or any principle of grad ing which is attempted in school books or by school teachers. For there are certain of these rhymes and jingles which belong to certain periods of the child's progressing acquaintance with the world that lies about him from his infancy, just as certain foods and certain dress are necessary and suitable at different stages of his physical growth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Charles Welsh's account of the achievements of John Newbery was first published in 1885. Newbery is best known as the pioneering publisher of good-quality children's books such as A Little Pretty Pocket-Book and Little Goody Two-Shoes. In many ways he can be regarded as the first publisher who created and marketed books specifically for children. He was an associate of Samuel Johnson and Oliver Goldsmith, and founded a number of newspapers that published some of their works. Welsh also draws attention to a less well known aspect of Newbery's diverse business ventures: his involvement in the selling of patent medicines. The author chronicles the immediate successors to the Newbery business and includes a lengthy summary of the son Francis Newbery's autobiography. The illustrated book contains a number of appendices including John Newbery's will, lists of his publications and some of the newspapers with which he was associated.
