This is my very first podcast. This podcast will be about my Special Olympics life!

It has become a cliche to say that one person can make a difference, but the life of Mahatma Gandhi confronts us with the enduring truth of that statement. It is impossible to say exactly what moved people to revere and follow him and be imprisoned and beaten on his behalf by the thousands. No doubt his ever-gentle demeanor had a hand in that. His perpetual grace and joy, even in the face of terrible hardship, surely won some hearts and minds.

Some people just don’t know how lucky they are. Including Emma Lenford, who’s just lucky enough to vomit on international television, win a trip to Wisconsin’s worst-kept vacation hotspot, and even find out that she’s related to some very infamous faces. Despite her newfound “luck”, Emma struggles to find a way to gain control of her life. She’s fully convinced that she’s been somehow cursed, and she has to figure out how stop the tragedies that keep befalling her before they get a little too out of control.

En esta antología publicamos una serie de relatos que abordan desde diferentes perspectivas los mitos de los vampiros.

I’ve spent years running from my past. After what happened to my parents, I needed to start fresh, far away from the whispers and stares. Now, as a struggling university student, I barely scrape by, living in a new town where no one knows me or the tragedy I’ve tried to forget. To make ends meet, I take on a ghostwriting job for a high-profile client. But the deal comes with one strange condition: their identity must remain a secret. Their only communication is through a distorted voice on an app.

When we fail to rest, we do more than burn ourselves out. We misunderstand the God who calls us to rest—who created us to be people of rest. Let's face it: Our rest needs work. Sabbath recalls our creation, and with it, God's satisfaction with us as he made us, without our hurried wrangling and harried worrying. It also recalls God's deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, and with it, God's ability to do completely what we cannot complete in ourselves. Sabbath keeping reminds us that we are free to rest each week.

Tia O’Shea just wants to go home, back to the palace among snowy fields where her twin brother amplifies the power inside her, and her father tries to secure the future of the throne through her marriage. A marriage she doesn’t want and refuses to consider. As a future queen, Tia only wants a choice in this one part of her life. On the night of the ball to introduce all possible suitors for her hand, she escapes to the human realm, planning to return after everyone has come to their senses. She never expected anyone to follow her, let alone her best friend and two of her suitors.

Divorced and struggling, middle-aged Kim is hanging on by her fingernails. When her elderly mother invites her to move home to Florida, to the lush island of her childhood, Kim is tempted. She could spend time with Mom, start her dream business, and craft the perfect new life. On the other hand, Mom has a masters in manipulation, and there’s a reason Kim fled to California in her youth. But, she’s too mature and experienced now to fall into the same family drama.

Griffin O’Shea is trapped. Again. His prison sentence was supposed to end when the magic keeping the dark fae captive in Myrkur finally fell. But when King Egan’s army clashed with the armies of Iskalt and Fargelsi on the battlefield, there was no winner and no clear path forward. Now the dark fae king is missing, vanished without a trace of the army at his back or the abducted child leading him to the prize he desires. With no way to locate the forever moving village, Griffin can only set his sights on a more attainable goal: saving Eldur from the coming invasion.

The moment Griffin crossed into the prison realm, every fae he’d ever known forgot he existed. Left with nothing - not even his magic - he’s had to survive in a land of eternal darkness where a ruthless king terrorizes his subjects. Now, he must return to his homeland with one purpose - destroy the magic binding the dark fae to the prison realm - or suffer the consequences. But he isn’t alone.

Griffin O’Shea is forgotten. Maybe it’s a good thing no one outside the prison realm remembers everything he did to earn his place in the dark kingdom. Now that he’s back in the world of the Light Fae, he wants to earn their trust, their loyalty, and that means going after the missing prince and princess of Iskalt, children who call him uncle. It means searching through the human realm for a vanishing village only he can see and a book full of dangerous magic and devious secrets that are better left alone.

Alexa, how does one reverse a curse? Because Emma Lenford’s horrendously hapless luck has not improved since her last few brushes with the law enforcement of Wisconsin. Now, though, there’s an old guy in a hot tub and a possible pregnancy to deal with (though, please note, both are completely unrelated), among so many more misfortunes. Emma Lenford is truly the unluckiest 17 year old on the planet. She keeps her sense of humor, though, through this series of seriously ill-fated situations.

A traitor in search of redemption. A king’s champion on a mission. He wants to free his people, but she’s determined he’ll never succeed. The moment Griffin crossed into the prison realm, every fae he’d ever known forgot he existed. Left with nothing - not even his magic - he’s had to survive in a land of eternal darkness where a ruthless king terrorizes his subjects. Now, he must return to his homeland with one purpose - destroy the magic binding the Dark Fae to the prison realm - or suffer the consequences.

A human girl with a troubled past. A fae prince from a stolen kingdom. When he whisks her away to the fae realm, there is no going back to her old life. Under the rule of a captivating queen, the kingdom of Fargelsi has brought the three fae lands to the brink of war. And now that same queen has her eyes set on a new pawn - a human girl. Allied with the usurper king, the royals seek to overthrow all those who oppose their unmatched power. Unmatched - until Brea Robinson arrives and proves to be more than they bargained for.

Brea Robinson is a prisoner. Granted, her prison has gilded halls, servants, and an aunt intent on throwing a lavish wedding. A wedding for Brea. Fae marriages are unbreakable, everlasting. As Brea barrels toward her forever prison in a marriage to a man she doesn’t love, the three Fae kingdoms are thrown into turmoil. But no matter how close Queen Regan’s enemies get, it won’t be enough to save Brea from the fate she chose.

Brea Robinson is a princess. Ridiculous, right? She’s left her small Ohio town behind for an exotic palace beyond her imagination, trading old jeans for ballgowns and a drunken father for two Fae mothers. Safe behind the power of Eldur, it’s easy to forget everything that brought her here.

Brea Robinson is a murderer. That’s what everyone tells her when she’s accused of killing her best friend. Her mother always claimed she belonged in a straitjacket. Turns out, she was right. When the man with flashing violet eyes whisks her through a portal into a world beyond her imagination, a world vicious in its beauty and wicked in its lies, Brea begins to wonder if she was ever crazy at all. Every hallucination she’s ever had is real, but this new world has its own set of lies and questions.

I used to be a normal girl with a normal life. Well, actually...I can't really remember. Anyway, now I'm being dragged on these crazy secret 'missions' with a guy who has no idea what he's doing but acts like he does, calls me 'Nesia', and, for some reason, likes to 'pretend like he's in a cartoon.'
