It’s in the headlines every day. Another child abused, and another abuser let off easy. Or worse, getting away with their crimes. Pedophiles and abusers are actively protected by those in power. Riddled with corruption, and profiteering off the victims, the justice system has failed. Alexi has experienced it personally, on every level, and she’s had enough. With the help of her friend, a wolf shifter named Rabbit, she will take matters into her own hands. Her lover is Hector, an unreasonably sexy latin vampire, and he joins the fight to protect their child from growing up in a world with a shady undercurrent of evil. Then her mates show up. Hyena shifters, and twins, Satyr and Siren will do anything for her. Including joining her quest to rid the world of the wrong sort of predators. Karma will find them all. Dollhouse Vigilantes is a dark, Urban Fantasy reverse harem series.

With three new mates, a new house and a baby on the way, Alexi has never been happier. She’s finally ready to settle down, and live a normal life. Until an obsessed sex trafficker publicly kidnaps her and her newborn baby, dragging Alexi and her guys back in with a new sense of resolve. The trafficker’s reach is deep, both within their communities and stretching across the great lakes. A witch joins the family, and with a tragic past of his own, he’s ready to die for their cause. Their hunt stretches across four states, with hundreds of targets. Just when they think they’re finished Hector’s benefactor, Peter, knocks at their door with a warning. Someone has reported them to the shifter’s Council of Elders, and there’s nowhere they can hide to avoid facing judgement for their crimes.

"This book is at once a love letter to Zen practice and a critique of late twentieth century American Zen. Judith inspires us to investigate our own karmic knots, and in the middle of this suffering, she invites us to walk quietly down to the neighborhood pond and take a cooling dip in the moonlight." —Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones, and many other books Untangling Karma is a memoir of accepting and healing personal trauma, both on and off the meditation cushion. Author Judith Ragir, an American Zen teacher, has used her spiritual practice to overcome anger and self-imposed isolation and become more loving. In Buddhism, the personal and the systemic are interwoven. If we are to heal from trauma, we need to find and face our deeply held, often hidden pain. Because we have been raised in a society of greed, aggression, and confused values, this is something we all must do, regardless of our ethnic or racial background. Ragir lets fall the stereotypical cool, calm Zen teacher’s demeanor to reveal her complicated, emotional self. She discusses what she has done to find greater inner peace as well as the personal impacts of transferring an Eastern philosophy onto her Western mind and applying a male-inspired monastic model to herself as an American woman, Jew, and mother. Untangling Karma is at once a love letter to Zen Buddhism and a critique of turn-of-the-century American Zen. If we can be bold when facing our personal pain and traumatic experiences, says Ragir, and curious about our own karmic histories, then we can help build a more inclusive, healing-focused, 21st-century Buddhism.

Before I knew it, Jason hollered in the cafeteria, Yo it’s ya girl! Leaving as quickly as he said it. I was on my feet, and out the door, TR wasn’t too far behind me. I couldn’t believe it was her and Tink. Tone was standing nearby and yeah that idiot was smiling. Girls can be so stupid. I tried my best to break it up, but after I got hit in the eye, I said the hell with it. Where are the damn teachers? Oh, never mind Melissa was giving it to her and giving it to her good? Well, that’s my friend! So rich girls can’t fight? This chick got so much mouth, though. After about fifteen minutes, two teachers and the Principal came to stop the fight. Weave was all over the place, and Tink’s boobs were popping out. “And if any of ya friends want some they can get some too; fucking bitch tell Mommy to get you some boxing lessons.” Ms. Jefferson that will be quite enough,” Dr. Glass said furious as hell. She was trying to pull Mel one way, and the teachers were pulling Tink the other way. Tink lip was bleeding; she looked drunk. People weren’t laughing; they were shocked by Mel, who knew? I damn sure did! You know it was really a good fight. Go, Mel, I thought to myself. I walked behind her and Dr. Glass to the office. Well needless to say; what I didn’t mention. Tone stepped off when he realized Tink was losing badly of course and he was on to the next just like that and who did he leave with his arm around, her friend Jenny, yeah rich, but definitely on the block.
