Hardback. Zustand: Good. I put this collection of poetry together the winter of 2011 when we rented a small cottage on Peaks Island off the coast of Portland, Maine. I placed several of these poems online and one or two others in print on actual paper that you can hold in your hand. The majority of them I have kept private, for I have never been in any great hurry to get around to gathering, winnowing, and then releasing them to the light of day. After all, it is not a modest impulse to release a book of poems-even a self-published volume such as this one is. Hubris is attached to the action and the belief that the reader might find a poem or two in the collection that strikes a chord, calls forth a similar feeling, or perhaps a memory or two long buried because pain is what one usually associates with such memories. In this regard, I plead guilty to being immodest.SURVIVAL, as the rather dramatic title suggests, is a record of such memories and reflections born of my own journey. It is not the complete mapping of the twisting road I have taken over the years. Whether another portion of the map will ever get into print is not dependent at all on how these tracing of one man's passage are received, but on my willingness to pick up the trail where I stopped the inward hike.W. HouzeWells, MaineAugust 13, 2012.…

Zustand: Good. The pastoral valley of Marrowdell is home to a small pioneer settlement of refugees, lush fields of grain, enigmatic house toads and Jenn Nalynn, the miller's daughter. Life here is full of laughter and peace, as well as hard work, and no one bothers overmuch about the outside world. Except Jenn Nalynn. Jenn longs to travel, to seek what's missing in her life. Not that she's sure what that is, but since this summer began, she's felt a strange and powerful yearning. She's certain she'll find what she needs, if only she can leave the valley. But she must not. Jenn is turn-born and cursed, born by the light of two worlds and bound to both. For the valley is more than it seems. Long ago, a cataclysm of misused power pinned Marrowdell to the Verge, a place of wild magic, home to dragons and even stranger creatures. Should Jenn step beyond Marrowdell, she will pull the worlds asunder. To prevent this, powers from the Verge have sent a guard to watch over her, a disgraced dragon Jenn knows as Wisp, her invisible playmate. Wisp's duty is to keep Jenn in Marrowdell. By love, if he can. By her death, if he must. But time is running out. What Jenn unknowingly feels is the rise of the Verge's magic within her, a magic that will threaten her and those she loves. Worse, this summer will end with a Great Turn, and strangers seeking power at any cost have come to Marrowdell to try to force an opening into the Verge, to the ruin of all. …

Zustand: Good. Senior co-administrator of the Norcoast Salmon Research Facility, Dr. Mackenzie Connor was a biologist who studied the spawning habits of salmon.

Base was attacked, Em was kidnapped by the mysterious Ro, and Mac and brymn had to flee for their lives to the Dhryn home world.What should have been Earth's best hope - an attempt to forge an alliance with the Dhyrn against the Ro - went horribly wrong. Mac nearly lost her life, and the peaceful, isolationist Dhyrn abandoned their world, hurtling out on an unfathomable path of destruction through civilized space.Now the members of the IU feel the only hope of stopping the Dhryn is to contact the Ro and ask for help. But no one knows how to accomplish that.As the enemy destroys life on planet after planet, the IU organizes a secret Gathering of every being with information on the Dhryn. With the data available there, Mac begins to suspect that the Dhyrn may not be ruthless destroyers. Their actions may be a response to something simpler and more deadly - the imperative to migrate. But even if Mac is right, can she and her team discover why this is happening and how to halt the Dhryn.…
