    Short Haul Engine is one great twist of fate and fury after another. The writing is clear, striking and open to all sorts of possibilities. Even at their most playful, these poems dive much deeper than initially expected. There's a remarkably dark sense of humour at work here, but tempered with a haunting vulnerability that makes even the sharpest lines tremble.from "Signs Taken for Wonders" ... Too delicate for these dog-days, small, clover-blonde, my sister sews indoors. I ask her to fashion me into something nice, ivory silk. I am a big girl, sunburnt skin like raw meat, sweating two pews in front of the Blessed Virgin....

     One midnight after surviving a horseback excursion that went awry, she meets an alpha who rules over a pack of various rogues just outside her kingdom.

    Until his world was invaded and his people killed. He was defeated and imprisoned, and then stripped of his power. Now, he was a mere shadow of what he had once been, but as long as he lived, he had a chance to regain his former power and avenge his fallen world. Ashara Ravena was a daughter of a respected Amaranthine noble until her foolishness cost her family everything. Now, with her father dead and her family's fortune gone, she had only one choice, to leave her home and make a new life somewhere else. Far away from her past. But old powers have other plans in mind for her. Kyarra Con Aroch is the Eternal Soul, the protector of the Kingdom of Tourran. Her soul bound long ago to the never-ending cycle of reincarnation by what all of her past lives considered their first life. And while each next life has no memory of the one that came before, every Eternal Soul is forced to abide by the deal their first life made, never being able to leave the city or disobey the royal family. To everyone outside of Tourran, Kyarra is someone to be feared, but the only thing she really wants is the freedom to make her own choices. Three souls are brought together as the gods play games that threaten the fates of entire worlds. For the fans of both eastern and western fantasy.

    Remember the fad a few years ago when people wore bracelets reminding them, “What Would Jesus Do?” Christians state that Jesus is the example of how to live, yet this has been limited in many cases to how we view our moral character. When Christians tell me that they want to live like Jesus, I like to ask if they have multiplied food, healed the sick, walked on water, raised the dead, paid their taxes with fish money, calmed storms, and so forth. I typically receive bewildered looks, but that’s what it is like to live like Jesus!Perhaps we are ignoring a large portion of what living like Jesus really includes. While I agree that we are to live like Jesus, “Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6 NLT). I am also aware that the application of Jesus’ model has been minimized to something that can be accomplished by living a moral life. Many Christians believe that they can live like Jesus without ever operating in the supernatural. After reading in the Bible about all of the miracles He performed, does that sound right to you?

Bruce Willis would then forever be recognized as the world's ultimate anti-hero, a blue-collar Everyman with the worst luck, always surrounded by terrorists taking over something or other. And, in this definitive oral history of "Die Hard," writers, actors, producers, and studio executives reveal behind-the-scenes stories, from the curious origins of the film's title, to the script's evolution from a depressing ‘70s character study to an optimistic Reagan-era blockbuster, to the seminal negotiations between 20th Century Fox and Willis's then-agent which sent his client's career into the stratosphere, to details of moguls Lawrence Gordon and Joel Silver’s famously tumultuous relationship while developing some of the '80s most successful franchises.
