    About this ebook

    In a war-torn world of tomorrow, the warlord known as Paragon Hammer relies on Jocelyn, a mindreading "listener," to ease his guilt and enable his atrocities. But visions of his downfall come to pass and upset the balance of power between them forever. 

    Trapped underground during an uprising, Hammer must overcome his inner darkness and learn to truly listen in order to save Jocelyn's life and perhaps regain his kingdom. Will Hammer give up everything he's fought for to find the love that's been in front of him all along? Can Jocelyn help him find a new beginning, or will his violent ways tear them apart in the end? 

    Only by listening to the unspoken secrets of their hearts can they hope to bring the true passion between them to life.

      The Wisdom Of Shakespeare

      Apr 15, 2021

      “... the purpose of playing, whose end both at the first, and now, was end is, to hold as ’twere the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.” These words

      STOOD SIDE BY SIDE THESE TWO BOOKS look like a comedy double act. At 820-plus pages long, Nicholas Shakespeare’s Ian Fleming is an Oliver Hardy-sized volume. Adam Sisman’s The Secret Life of John le Carré, on the other hand, is thinner than Stan Laur

      How Prisoners Brought 'Death of a Salesman' to Life

      I went to a play the other night. Selected scenes from “Death of a Salesman,” in a men’s prison, with an all-male cast. It was terrible and hilarious, and beautiful. There were no costumes, save for a towel tucked into one guy’s shorts to simulate a

      The big man's coal-black hair was soaked as Jocelyn stroked his forehead, cradling him in her lap on a heap of pillows in his luxurious palace chambers. Candle flames flickered, and crimson banners swayed around them as he let out a feeble whimper and cringed from whatever he was seeing with his mind's eye.

      Jocelyn cringed, too. She saw the terrible thing he was remembering as clearly as if it were happening right in front of her.

      Traitors! In the memory, he bellowed the word, stalking along a line of seven men in chains kneeling on the marble floor of his throne room. How dare you turn against your own people?
