Our generation is something the world has never seen before. Women born between 1950 and 1975 were pioneers in all areas of work and society, yet we have become almost completely invisible except to our families and friends, right at the time the world needs our wisdom, empathy and experience the most. OUR TIME IS NOW! INVISIBLE TO INVALUABLE is a celebration of what midlife women do, who we are and what we are capable of. It's a rallying cry for us to change the world for the better. With personal stories, exciting research and insights from a cast of inspirational women, Jane Evans and Carol Russell's manifesto blows open the ageism that's sidelined midlife women at work and in society, and sets out an empowering vision for a world where we can unlock our full potential. In a collection of chapters that range from the powerful to the playful and from the distant past to a brighter future, Jane and Carol show how there is no longer just 'young' and 'old' - there is a whole new middle that can be the best time of our lives. Even if we feel like we've hit rock bottom, or have disappeared entirely, there is a way back. This book will remind you how far we've come, show you what we're made of, and demonstrate how we can create a better future for all of us.

The first book in the epic One Blood Series, Blood Junky is an original tale of vampires. Culled from over 15 years of research and development, this premiere title is an easy introduction into the vibrant and realistic world of vampirism that the author, Stavros, has crafted. A psychological thriller, Blood Junky spans the globe from two distinct time periods in the life of vampire, Linnet Pevensey. Linnet is 256 years old and she's feeling every moment of it. Besieged by a wall of painful memories, longing for simpler times, she's secluded herself from the world. Lin's roommate, Z, is unpredictable. A century-old vampire whose blood parasite has begun its last cycle, she is enthralled in every possible way to avoid the here and now. And fate is moving them both toward clandestine events. Ryan Silva is a good looking, soulful songbird that's seduced by desires to have Z feed from him, but his lines of reality blur, locking him on a downward spiral that threatens to destroy everything if he does not stop stalking the vampire. Dominique De'Paul, the freed blood slave of the ancient race, is trying to save her Children of Evensong and it looks as if her darling Linnet must be sacrificed in order to save her precious brood.Weaving through the consciousness of time, between past and present, this uniquely intense journey of obsession, redemption, and love travels the globe from modern to day Los Angeles the bygone eras of London, Tangiers, Africa, and the exotic lands of So Paulo, Brazil. Blood Junky is the first installment to an elaborate series that was conceived as part of an ever-widening, ever-increasing story line, but is self-contained and can be read independently.
