D. H. Lawrence
Literature & Fiction / Poetry / Travel
1920 play. David Herbert Richards Lawrence (1885-1930) was a very important and controversial English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, sexuality, and instinctive behaviour. Lawrence's unsettling opinions earned him many enemies and he endured hardships, official persecution, censorship and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage." He is now generally valued as a visionary thinker and a significant representative of modernism in English literature.

The Vampire Wardens
In blood they will find destiny and the eternal bond of passion…
The Wardens series begins with a trilogy of three brothers—Evan, Aiden and Troy Brooks are brothers (in order by human age: 34, 32, 28), who were early settlers of the town of New Braunfels, Texas, in the 1500s. When the town was haunted by a series of brutal animal attacks that left a half-dozen townsmen murdered, the Brooks brothers took things into their own hands. Armed and ready for action, they set out into the wilderness, determined to find this animal and kill it. What they found was a female vampire who decided the brothers were scrumptious morsels, worth keeping around for a lifetime. She attacked the brothers and turned them to vampires.
No sooner did she turn them, though, than another vampire appeared and killed her. This vampire declared himself a “Warden” of the Vampire Council. Wardens uphold the rules of the Vampire race, and report to the Council. Killing humans is punishable by death, and their ‘Maker’ had broken that rule. The brothers were then taken to the Council, where they were taught how to survive without killing, how to mingle with humans as if one of them, when to move on from a location so that they would not be suspected as vampires, and most importantly, who their enemies were and how to defeat them.
In the end the brothers were granted a financial dowry that had belonged to their Maker and given the choice of freedom, under Council rule, or an alternative—to become Wardens.
Now, the brothers travel together as Wardens, tracking outlaw vampires, killing them, and protecting innocent humans. It is their eternal duty.

First Touch (Shot at Love)
Amanda Lista
Every journey begins somewhere. Adrian dos Santos's begins in the streets of Tepico, Mexico City, more specifically on the soccer field. Ever since he was a small boy, he had been playing. Over the years, honing his craft at the game, he found himself a spot at Cruz Azul, a Mexican football club that plays in the top division of Mexican football, Liga MX. Even after all his success though, he still felt something is missing. What could it be?One day he was surprised to find he has been scouted and traded to Chelsea football club in London, a premier league that will greatly advance his career. Hesitant to leave his family and the only city he's ever known, Adrian knew what he must do. Arriving in London was an absolute culture shock. There was a brutal immediacy to the city Adrian was not familiar with. On his first night in town, he goes out with a few teammates from the Chelsea club. The last thing he wants is to come across as antisocial! He meets Peter, a friendly, hospitable man along with a few others that are not so sure Adrian is the right "fit" for the team. After a few drinks at a local pub, Adrian slips out and again, feels that same feeling that something is missing in his life. If it's not successful in his career in soccer, what could it be? Cue Phoebe, a slender, graceful woman who owns a hair salon in town. Immediately, the two sense something between them, and Adrian invites her to club Chelsea's first game. During the opening game, Adrian, unfortunately, is benched. Yet after an injury on the field, he is put in where he ultimately shoots the winning goal. Half of him is filled with that familiar feeling of success while another part of him feels that he did it for Phoebe. At the same bar where they met, Adrian and Phoebe celebrate with the team. After getting some air, Adrian shows Phoebe how to juggle a soccer ball until a trip of the feet brings them closer than they ever have before. Adrian couldn't be happier, though he begins to worry about how he is going to balance his budding relationship with Phoebe and his commitment to club Chelsea. His closest friend Peter and even some old teammates from back home advise him to stay away, but his heart is telling him otherwise. Adrian doesn't have time to dwell on these thoughts though, because one morning before practice, assistant coach Ian, who has always had it out for him, tells Adrian he's been traded. Suddenly, his entire world is turned upside down. Will Adrian fight to continue playing with Club Chelsea? Will he have to go back home and forget about Phoebe? Will Phoebe potentially lose the love of her life?Every journey begins somewhere, but Adrian's is far from over.
