There was a time, long before men walked this world when the Titans ruled the universe. Then a Prophecy foretold that they would be overthrown by the Gods, who followed them. A great war ensued – the Titanomachy – and the Earth burned for ten years. Defeated, the Titans were then imprisoned in the hell realm of Tartaros, where they have languished ever since. Yet mankind’s reckless abuse of the world has now so weakened the foundations of Tartaros that the Titans could soon escape. For there has been another Prophecy – The Titan Prophecy – warning of an even greater and more catastrophic war to come. A war that will be fought on Earth: a war that could destroy the whole universe. And, says this new Prophecy, the only hope of salvation lies with a Destined One. A boy…About the AuthorA.M.

Can the mysterious jade amulet transport Nic Porter through time to the era of the classic Mayas? This is just one of the questions the twenty-year-old Mayan history major wants to answer in The Curse of the Jade Amulet. And why does the amulet only come alive when Nic, and no one else, touches it? Most importantly, why does his host family at Chichen Itzá, the ancient Mayan ceremonial site where Nic is living and studying, have one of these amulets—when all the others have been found at the bottom of the Sacred Well of Sacrifice along with the remains of the sacrificial victims they were intended for?For Nic these are more than just intriguing questions. For at least a thousand years, the women of his host family have suffered from an unexplained wasting condition which gradually undermines their health and strength, resulting in early death—and now beautiful Itzel, daughter of his host José and Nic’s true love—is showing symptoms as well. José thinks the fact that they have one of the amulets can only mean one thing, that centuries ago an ancestor intended for sacrifice somehow escaped her fate, angering the vindictive Mayan gods and causing them to place a curse for all time on the female line of the family. Nic doesn’t know what to think, but it’s becoming obvious that the amulet itself wants to use him to fulfill its long-dormant destiny. . . Thus begins an adventure that takes Nic from present-day Yucatán, Mexico to the era of the ancient Mayas and back on a magical quest to discover the secret of the jade amulet and save the life of the girl he loves.

It’s the first day of summer vacation and twelve-year-old Mallory, armed with too much imagination and not enough common sense, begins her self-imposed quest to prove she really does have a guardian angel, only to discover that everything she believed is not quite how she imagined it, especially when her bullying cousin Jo visits the farm and proves to be more trouble than Mallory or her guardian angel can handle.What People are Saying about The Misadventures of Mallory Malo"Mallory’s character jumps off the page with a spunkiness and imagination reminiscent of a young Nancy Drew. The story keeps the reader spellbound and intrigued with a perfect balance of scares and laughs appropriate for today’s adolescents. The paranormal twist and budding relationship between Mallory, cousin Jo, and sister Susan set the stage for exciting adventures to come."~ Dan Yakimchuk, PhD"The Misadventures of Mallory Malo will have a broad appeal to youth while being a fun read for parents as well. In this young adult story, author Kenn Crawford creates a main character who is sympathetic and full of her own ideas, many of which she tries out by experiment. The supporting characters are realistic and well developed. Crawford has previously published a book of witty tales. His sense of humour comes through in The Misadventures of Mallory, along with an underlying spookiness. I greatly enjoyed the read and recommend the book to parents for their young readers." ~ Prof. Michael G. MacDonald, Cape Breton University

Food — Delicious — Food. Pizza, pasta and sparkling soda; with a side dish of ‘learning’. On this adventure to Italy, Maxx meets Prof. Tilbury’s extended family including three older cousins. These young women take great delight in teasing their 14-year-old visitor. To make matters worse, they insist that Maxwell learns about the history of ancient Rome, studies the art and architecture of the Italian Renaissance, and participates in the fashion scene of modern-day Italy. To his surprise, their merciless attention and demands actually excite his curiosity and interest. At the same time, Prof. Tilbury’s ‘enemy’, Chef Lorenzo, keeps Maxx belly-bursting full of mouth-watering Italian food. YUM!

To find her Muse, she must first find herself. Sylvia Baker used to live for music: constantly listening to artists like M83 and Moonlight Bride, writing songs, and playing drums in a band. But now, the soundtrack of her life is silence. If she lets the music back in, she's worried she will return to her delusions about the Muses--the mystical beings who inspire artists to create art. She's worried she'll have to face the wounds of losing Vincent, her Muse, her love. She tries to move on, immersing herself in the real world--working at the grocery store, mending her relationships with her friends and her father, and developing a new love for hiking. But in her dreams, she is forced to face the questions growing in her heart.What if they never were delusions? What if a vicious battle between the traditional Greek Muses and modern Earthly Muses tore her from the world of the Muses? What if she never lost Vincent at all? And what if he's the one who needs to be saved?

The drilling headache, the waves of nausea, the paranoia, the guilt, the shame - yes, it's the dreaded HANGOVER. We are all familiar with the general misery. What is less well known is the nuances of the hungover state. According to P.G. Wodehouse there are six different types of hangover that can bring the high-spirited reveller to his or her knees, and each requires a very specific remedy.With delicious and restorative recipes - from Milton's zingy knickerbocker glory to his irresistible tahini and tomato toast, the English Breakfast tortilla to Mexican ranch-style eggs - The Hungover Cookbook invites you to transform dealing with a hangover into a subtle, multi-faceted and enjoyable art instead of merely chucking a 'full English' at it.This witty self-help manual helps the morning after drinker to identify the nature of ones hangover and tailor the treatment accordingly.

When she sees a gorgeous flickering man named Vincent, she learns that they are Muses.With his help, she finds herself creating exquisite songs that she loves almost as much as songs by her favorite bands--Radiohead, M83, and The Black Keys--and she is falling in love in a way she never knew was possible. While trying to maintain her newfound friendships and her band, she falls deeper into the world of the Muses. When the original Greek Muses wake to find a world in which the internet has given everyone the tools to be an artist, a battle between traditional and new methods of creation ensues. As Sylvia discovers how she is connected to the world of the Muses, she learns that this war may put her music, her love, her very life at stake.
