Once upon a time, there was a dragon, a phoenix and a very, very special pebble This charming Chinese tale has easy-to-read text and fun puzzles to try after the story.

This book addresses the impact of intermarriage between Chinese immigrants and the natives, specifically the intermingling of blood and the offspring from such unions, and the influence they wielded on the society and environment they chose to live in. It also covers how some rose to high positions and their contributions to their societies, and how some openly declared their pride in their ancestry, while others have forgotten their heritage and have dissociated themselves.

Alone. Caged. Her only freedom will be in death... Captured as a chick, Sula can barely remember life outside her cage. Her tears, feathers and blood have been stolen until she's a pale shadow of the Phoenix she's meant to be. She prays for the sweet release of death, expecting it when her owner's warehouse is attacked. What she doesn't expect is the big male with the midnight eyes who rescues her, taking her home thinking she's a pet bird, or her reaction to his gentle touch and the scent of his dragon. After so many years, can she trust another... and reveal the truth about herself in the process? A dragon on a mission, he'll stop at nothing to destroy the slavers plaguing shifter society... And they don't come more in need than the little bird Damian discovers huddled in a box on his latest mission. A black dragon, he's responsible for the protection of dragonkind and by extension, all shifters, and he hates those who trade in paranormal artefacts with a passion. He's never taken any of them home, but the wide, golden eyes of the little bird hit him on a soul-deep level. The need to care for her and nurse her back to health overwhelm both him and his dragon, a need he doesn't understand until he finds a naked woman in his kitchen. A naked woman with very familiar golden eyes... But Sula's masters haven't given up on the profit she'll bring them and they track her down to Damian's apartment. When they take her, can he get to her in time, or will he lose his fated mate before they have a chance at their happily ever after?

Suicide: a hidden stigma, a damnable sin, a shame or an embarrassment. That's what "they" say. We have all been told what to think and how to feel, about suicide, for as long as any of us can remember. It's time to rebuild your paradigm, based on love. Susan Rushing had done countless psychic readings, over the years. But, one day she gave a reading which changed the course of her life. A shaggy-headed boy, who had committed suicide, only three months before, brought information and visions that were nothing less than mind-blowing and belief shattering. After that, readings for suicide victims became a regular occurrence. Susan's long standing patterns of belief toward suicide changed drastically. She felt she understood suicide, and how it was processed on the other side. That is, until the rainy night, in 2010, when her daughter's father ended his own life. Two years have passed since that crazy night. Through internal searching, meditation, dozens more suicide readings, and the messages they delivered have led Susan to a new way of healing. This healing process is based on the methods used to heal on the other side. Susan shares that knowledge, as well as many of the readings and messages she has been given. She also shares information to help you re-develop your way of thinking about the religious, legal, and social ramifications of suicide and those who are left behind.
