Seven months ago, goddess magic allowed me, the very human Marigold Everlee, to have a couple of sizzling nights with the very paranormal Zev. He was tall, dark, and smoking hot. Literally. He's an ifrit--a fire-magic-wielding djinn. Spoiler alert: When the goddess magic poofed---so did Zev. Yeah. I was ghosted after he promised me, he’d be back. His disappearance turned my heart to ash. But you know what? I'm middle-aged and marvelous, baby. Crying over spilled magic isn't going to change what happened to my one-sided love connection. I have new aspirations: being the best bad-ass witch possible. My new bestie is teaching me the ways of eclectic magic, and I’m throwing all my energy into the process. I’ve always been a little hippy-dippy, so using my crystals and herbs for spell work should come naturally to me, right? Wrong. Just when I think I’m getting the hang of potions, a fire spell blows up in my face, leaving a cryptic message scorched into my kitchen cabinets. From Zev. What the what!? It seems Zev didn't want to disappear after all. I may be a magical mess, but no one gets away with hurting the people I love, including my stubborn, sarcastic, sexy genie. Watch out, world. This girl is on fire. Get out of the way ... or get burned.

Two Muslim teens in Texas fight for access to abortion while one harbors a painful secret in this funny and heartfelt near-future speculative novel perfect for fans of Unpregnant. In a not-too-distant America, abortions are prosecuted and the right to choose is no longer an option. But best friends Laylah and Noor want to change the world. After graduating high school, they’ll become an OBGYN and a journalist, but in the meantime, they’re working on an illegal guide to abortion in Texas. In response to the unfair laws, underground networks of clinics have sprung up, but the good fight has gotten even more precarious as it becomes harder to secure safe medication and supplies. Both Layla and Noor are passionate about getting their guide completed so it can help those in need, but Laylah treats their project with an urgency Noor doesn’t understand—that may have something to do with the strange goings-on between their mosque and a local politician. Fighting for what they believe in may involve even more obstacles than they bargained for, but the two best friends will continue as they always have: together.

Drawing on the work of artist and architect William Lim, this book offers a new, enlightened perspective on what Asian design means today. Exploring design works ranging from furniture and temporary art installations to interior design and architecture by CL3, founded by William Lim, and related studios Lim + Lu and Open UU, this book presents a fresh consideration of the essence of contemporary Asian design and how it has evolved over the past few decades. The projects selected share a sensitivity to Asian qualities: a deep appreciation of site and context, craft and design details, with imaginative architectural responses delivering a reinterpretation of cultural heritage and traditions. The book includes a contextual essay by Hong Kong-based architecture critic and author Catherine Shaw, a foreword by architecture and design curator Aric Chen, and a chapter dedicated to conversations on the modern interpretation of eastern aesthetics and the unique experience of designing for a new Asia between William Lim, Swedish museum director, art critic and writer Lars Nittve, and Shanghai-based architect Lyndon Neri. The projects are presented in a clear, vibrant graphic style designed by William Lim and artist and graphic designer Stanley Wong, aka anothermountainman, to evoke an Asian quality. Each chapter includes a text by William Lim and features original conceptual sketches, photographs, floor plans, and drawings.

Based on original reporting from West Africa and the United States, and the poet 's experiences as a doctor and journalist, If God Is A Virus charts the course of the largest and deadliest Ebola epidemic in history, telling the stories of Ebola survivors, outbreak responders, journalists and the virus itself. Documentary poems explore which human lives are valued, how editorial decisions are weighed, what role the aid industrial complex plays in crises, and how medical myths and rumor can travel faster than microbes. These poems also give voice to the virus. Eight percent of the human genome is inherited from viruses and the human placenta would not exist without a gene descended from a virus. If God Is A Virus reimagines viruses as givers of life and even authors of a viral-human self-help book.

Available as an ebook. Three-year-old William Tyrrell made headlines across Australia in 2014 after he disappeared while playing outside his foster grandmother’s house in Kendall on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Writer and researcher Ally Chumley, who has lived a stone’s throw from Kendall for decades, watched as the events that unfolded devastated the community and the country. It grabbed her, as a mum of two boys, by the heart and didn’t let go. Compelled by a need to understand, Ally began investigating. Searching for Spiderman takes us on an intriguing hunt through state forests, waterways and old bush camps. Solid clues, gossamer leads and red herrings abound. Everyone’s a suspect. There are anonymous foster parents veiled in secrecy, neighbours who distrust each other, local paedophiles and a parade of persons of interest. Instead of having too few suspects, detectives have too many. Among it all is William’s own birth family, who once hid the toddler from authorities. This bizarre cast of characters keeps everyone guessing, particularly when a veteran lead detective is sensationally removed from the case and subsequently quits the force. Where is little Spiderman? With powerful storytelling skills, writer and local resident Ally Chumley brings this puzzling tale to life. She reveals the very latest from the inquest into William’s disappearance and helps to resolve the speculation, assumption and misinformation that have riddled the case. It’s time to go beyond the headlines and the soundbites. It’s time Australia knew the truth.
