HIS NAME IS DANTE. Dark. Talented. Beautiful. Star of the rock band Inferno. Rumored owner of the hot New Orleans nightspot Club Hell. Born of the Blood, then broken by an evil beyond imagination. HIS PAST IS A MYSTERY. F.B.I. Special Agent Heather Wallace has been tracking a sadistic serial murderer known as the Cross Country Killer, and the trail has led her to New Orleans, Club Hell, and Dante. But the dangerously attractive musician not only resists her investigation, he claims to be "nightkind": in other words, a vampire. Digging into his past for answers reveals little. A juvenile record a mile long. No social security number. No known birth date. In and out of foster homes for most of his life before being taken in by a man named Lucien DeNoir, who appears to guard mysteries of his own. HIS FUTURE IS CHAOS. What Heather does know about Dante is that something links him to the killer -- and she's pretty sure that link makes him the CCK's next target. Heather must unravel the truth about this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young man -- who, she begins to believe, may indeed be a vampire -- in order to finally bring a killer to justice. But Dante's past holds a shocking, dangerous secret, and once it is revealed not even Heather will be able to protect him from his destiny....

In this Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book, Children's Literature Legacy Award-winner Nikki Grimes explores though her celebrated poetry how a supportive teacher can be the key to unlocking a dreamer's imaginative power through creative writing. Gabby's world is filled with daydreams. However, what began as an escape from her parents' arguments has now taken over her life. But with the help of a new teacher, 'Gabby the dreamer' might just become 'Gabby the writer' and the words that once carried her away might allow her to soar. Written in vivid, accessible poems, this remarkable verse novel is a celebration of imagination, of friendship, of one girl's indomitable spirit, and of a teacher's ability to reach out and change a life.

Does Rush suck? What do you call a drummer in a three-piece suit? Why is Billy Joel despised? Does rock have a secret weapon? Are air guitars real? What is the meaning of the question ¿Beatles or Stones?¿ Seth Kaufman searches for answers with a hilarious blend of criticism, fiction, biography and something called Godot: The Musical. Dozens get caught in the crossfire hurricane of commentary and comedy ¿ including Lou Reed, the Who the Grateful Dead, David Byrne, Bob Dylan and even Jethro Tull. Some even get out alive as Kaufman explores authenticity, how musical taste is shaped, and the nature of criticism. Filled with entertaining riffs, Metaphysical Graffiti is a dazzlingly playful and original love song to rock.

"Reflection of Mind"- it's such a poetic canvas, where mind has sketched its dreamy thoughts, using divine colours. All are sparkling as usual, everywhere. Thoughts in motion, have reflected, as parts of the Beautiful Life. Those perceptions, dreams, dance every time, by the source of inking spirits. We love to cherish each and every part of dreams, in the deepest mind. Sometimes can share, sometimes can't. Then they hide in a corner. But it's not right all the times. We must believe dear God. We must believe ourselves. If we do that, can reflect easily our thoughts in motion, for a better solution, by taking steps cautiously. We must be ready to accept any result, without any regret. This will help to hold us, for the upcoming life's trend. Let us hold the power of mind. Let us make the picture by showering love, from deepest heart. We will, we must, we should accept all, without losing hopes and trust. No fear can’t hold us. For example: Spiritual wings, Spark, Age is not a matter, Mind seeks, The Bridge, Little Butterfly, You’re beautiful, Let your mind fly etc. Hope, you will find out yourself, for a moment, by forgetting the tormented phase of life. And your mind will revive with its divine essence, to shine the way of life, onward.

There are many myths and legends surrounding the advanced German aeronautical technology of the Second World War. There are also facts and proven events. Yet within these stories and behind these facts lie conspiracy theories, mistaken assumptions and denials that seem to contradict the evidence. So what really happened? How far ahead were the German scientists? And, of even greater interest, why and how?There have been other books about advanced German wartime aeronautics, yet few authors have fully examined the detail of the designs and their relevance to the fighter and bomber legends of the 1950s and '60s, let alone the current crop of military and civil all-wing or blended-wing aircraft. This book charts the story from it origins, through current-day innovations and beyond, into the all-wing future of tomorrow.
