Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together for the first time in one full-length novel, the complete first season of Xenofestation, six episodes of darkly erotic sci-fi adventure, oviposition and alien implantation. Twelve women. Sixty aliens. One purpose. What is the purpose of the experimental Xenoplantation Programme? Why would a woman apply to join? What would make her travel to a remote space station, far from friends and family, there to offer herself to a bewildering variety of alien creatures, carrying their slimy, squirming offspring inside her own body? For some, it’s a chance to escape an overcrowded Earth, a society that controls reproductive rights with a draconian grip, obliging all but the richest to seal their wombs for life. Others are on the run from underworld gangs or hiding dark secrets. And then there are the xeno cultists, whose religion tells them enlightenment can only be found by receptive submission to alien need. There are many rewards for any participant brave enough to allow her body to be filled with strange larvae, a heady cocktail of untold riches and indescribable pleasures for those brave enough to reach for them. But pleasure has a price, and rewards come with risks, not just from the dread creatures she may encounter. For where there is money to be made the shadowy Syndicate crime organisation is always keen to get its hooks in. The Xenoplantation Programme is eternally hungry for new flesh. Because the human body is the perfect cradle for new life. But not just human life... Episodes in this collection: 1-01 – Amber Alert Amber Codrington is running out of money and options, at a crossroads and faced with hard choices. Should she relocate to the outer planets and face the unknown dangers of a colony world? Or perhaps join the mysterious Xenoplantation Programme, and experience alien encounters of a more intimate nature? Adult video celebrity Ornella Mito would be only too glad of some intimate alien encounters. But both women may find that opportunities in the Programme come with risks, as one existing participant learns when something slimy knocks at her door... 1-02 – Beached Obscenity is the mother of invention for mercenary explorer Lieutenant Ortiz. Collecting alien specimens for the Xenoplantation Programme is hard enough without a Droon scout destroying all her carefully-placed traps, and besides that she has an unruly troop of mercenary hunters who keep getting in her head. Perhaps she can use one problem to solve another, in a novel and highly satisfying manner. Meanwhile, as Amber Codrington is being prepared for her new role as a host for alien young, in ways both arousing and embarrassing, she wonders if anyone can ever truly be ready for the rigours and weirdness of being implanted by an alien... 1-03 – Primagravida The Xenoplantation Programme suddenly becomes very real for Amber Codrington, as she finally enters the implantation chamber for her first alien encounter. Her body has been fully prepared for its new role, but can she overcome her doubts about what she is about to do? 1-04 – The Maiden & The Pit Life on the arid colony world of Agrarius is tough, but Beatriz Ruiz has a plan - buy a farm, marry the love of her life and start a family, not necessarily in that order. Plus there’s a strange crater newly-opened up in the next valley which needs looking into… 1-05 – A Prayer Before Bed Tali Slater is in trouble. A gambler whose luck seems to have run out since she fell in with The Syndicate, she’s falling deeper into the red. Now her latest plan to get debt-free - a night with the mysterious Eddie - may prove a gamble too far… 1-06 – Terra Veneri As a fixer for The Syndicate, Sara Smith is used to organising erotic gatherings for her bosses’ favoured guests. But when her latest job backfires she finds herself facing a long journey back to favour…

Baby Doe Tabor

Release Date :
ISBN : 0806182563
Pages : 282 pages
Rating Book: 4.0/5 (86 users)

Download or read book Baby Doe Tabor written by Judy Nolte Temple and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Baby Doe Tabor has seduced America for more than a century. Long before her body was found frozen in a Leadville shack near the Matchless Mine, Elizabeth McCourt “Baby Doe” Tabor was the stuff of legend. The stunning divorcée married Colorado’s wealthiest mining magnate and became the “Silver Queen of the West.” Blessed with two daughters, Horace and Baby Doe mesmerized the world with their wealth and extravagance. But Baby Doe’s life was also a morality play. Almost overnight, the Tabors’ wealth disappeared when depression struck in 1893. Horace died six years later. According to the legend, one daughter left home never to return; the other died horribly. For thirty-five years, Baby Doe, who was considered mad, lived in solitude high in the Colorado Rockies. Baby Doe Tabor left a record of her madness in a set of writings she called her “Dreams and Visions.” These were discovered after her death but never studied in detail—until now. Author Judy Nolte Temple retells Lizzie’s story with greater accuracy than any previous biographer and reveals a story more heartbreaking than the legend, giving voice to the woman behind the myth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 5, 1959, Brother Witness Lee began a service training in Taipei, Taiwan, that ended on January 22, 1960. A follow-up training began on February 16, 1960, and lasted until April 2. During that time Brother Lee released messages on the elders' management of the church and continued his synopsis of the books of the Bible with synopses of Numbers and Deuteronomy. After the training ended on April 2, he began another training for young people on April 26, which was intended to last five weeks; however, after the second week Brother Lee became ill. He rested until June 28, at which time he began a five-day co-workers' series of meetings with about twenty brothers (see Church News in volume 1 of this set). After these meetings he held various weekly training meetings with co-workers. His speaking in these meetings included the subjects of the sufficiency, pursuit, and learning of the Lord's serving ones and the law of revival. On September 27 he left for the United States for the second time. He remained mainly in New York and conducted meetings on God's building and held a four-day conference on the ground of the church. He traveled to San Francisco on December 1. On December 5 he went to Los Angeles and stayed there until December 8, at which time he returned to the Far East, passing through Japan, where he remained from December 10 through 19. There is no record of his speaking in San Francisco or in Japan. On December 19 Brother Lee returned to Taipei and remained there until the end of the year. The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1960, volume 1, contains messages given by Brother Witness Lee and personal notes, letters, and reports concerning his ministry from December 1959 through November 23, 1960. Historical information concerning Brother Lee's travels and the content of his ministry in 1960 can be found in the general preface that appears at the beginning of this volume. The contents of this volume are divided into three sections, as follows: 1. Eleven issues of the periodical Church News published in January through December 1960. These issues contain personal letters and reports written in Taipei, Taiwan, and New York City from December 1959 through November 23, 1960. They are included in this volume under the same title. 2. Thirty-five messages given in Taipei, Taiwan, on February 16 through March 17, 1960, as a continuation of a previous training that ended on January 22. These messages are included in this volume under the title Synopsis of Numbers. 3. Nineteen messages given in Taipei, Taiwan, on March 18 through April 1, 1960. These messages are included in this volume under the title Synopsis of Deuteronomy.
