She's infamous. He's legendary. Together, they'll be epic...or a complete train wreck. It could go either way, really... Psychic and paranormal PI Harper Hall isn't that surprised when her business partner skips town. She never really trusted the jerk anyway. But if Harper wants to consult for the police on a high-profile case, she'll need a new partner-- preferably one with some supernatural talents of his own. Noah Riddick, a slayer left jobless when vampires went public and earned human rights, is perfect for the gig. Too bad he's grumpy, anti-social, and completely resistant to the idea of working with her. Riddick's dark secrets and shady past forced him into exile from human society--an exile he was comfortable with until gorgeous and exasperating Harper waltzed into his life. Now, all too aware of how unlifelike his life has been, he realizes partnering with her might be the best thing that could ever happen to him...even though it might be the worst for her. Fighting vampires, making immortal enemies, staging daring rescues...it's all in a day's work. But falling in love? Well...that's a little trickier. Even for the Semi-Charmed Harper Hall.

Do you ever find yourself looking up and asking the question, 'Why me?' You are not alone. We all struggle with turbulence now and then and Georgia Chirbas' My Semi-Charmed Life paints a colorful picture of a life that has seen rigid upbringing, death, abuse, spirituality and its fair share of tragedy. Through the loss of friends, family, lovers and pets, Georgia slowly realized that everything happens for a reason and that life is merely an opportunity for her to learn her soul's real purpose. Eventually, by changing her attitude, she was able to realize that she is a child of the most high God, and that he is always working for good. She learned to make the most of every day and instead of asking 'Why Me?' asks, 'Why not me?' In this autobiographical look at spirituality and life, Georgia asserts that grievances only make us stronger and that coming through hard times will build up the spirit. Though her journey is not yet over, Georgia sees the growth in her own experiences and invites readers to take a glimpse into her Semi-Charmed Life. Georgia Chirbas is the president and founder of her own corporate event planning company, as well as proud mother of two teenage boys and one canine daughter. She has a very small circle of family and friends whom she loves.

Debut albums are among the cultural artefacts that capture the popular imagination especially well. As a first impression, the debut album may take on a mythical status, whether the artist or group achieves enduring success or in rare cases when an initial record turns out to be an apogee for an artist. Whatever the subsequent career trajectory, the debut album is a meaningful text that can be scrutinized for its revelatory signs and the expectations that follow. Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself: Essays on Debut Albums tells the stories of 23 debut albums over a nearly fifty year span, ranging from Buddy Holly and the Crickets in 1957 to The Go! Team in 2004. In addition to biographical background and a wealth of historical information about the genesis of the album, each essay looks back at the album and places it within multiple contexts, particularly the artist’s career development. In this way, the book will be of as much interest to sociologists and historians as to culture critics and musicologists.
