Synopsis
"Lynsay Sands writes books that keep readers coming back for more." -Katie MacAlister, USA Today Bestselling Author "Take a bite into a fresh, fun vampire comedy ... read Lynsay Sands!" -Carly Phillips, New York Times Bestselling Author The Argeneau's are hungry for love-and Lynsay Sands's bestselling paranormal romance series starring the enormously popular vampire family is hotter than ever! In this New York Times and USA Today bestselling author's spicy-sweet sixteenth Argeneau novel, the lady is a gorgeous vampire enchantress who finds herself kidnapped by one desperate-and devastatingly handsome-man. The Lady is a Vamp is Lynsay at her best-and fans of the hit HBO series True Blood, as well as the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse novels it's based on, will eagerly drink in every tasty drop of this sexy, suspenseful paranormal winner., No star in any genre has affected the world as deeply or has lasted as long without fading as Marilyn Monroe. This thought-provoking and wide-ranging collection of essays examines the undiminished incandescence of Marilyn Monroe -- the impact she has had on our culture, the evolution of her legend since her death, and what she tells us now about our lives and times -- and includes previously unpublished work from some of America's best writers, such as: Joyce Carol Oates, Alice Elliot Dark, Albert Mobilo, Marge Piercy, Lore Segal, Lisa Shea, and many more. From her troubled family beginnings to the infamous $13 million auction held at Christie's in New York City, All the Available Light paints an unforgettable portrait of Marilyn as you've never seen her before. This extremely rare cover photo was taken c. 1954, on the set of The Seven Year Itch.
