Montana Rising is a mild-mannered–okay not mild, but at least well-mannered–teacher by day, avid Scrabble player by early evening, and fast asleep by 10pm. Unless she’s up writing a fantastical story using all the words played in a particularly good Scrabble game. But after her granddaughter brings home a frightened friend, Monti’s story starts reading more like a crime drama than a romantic comedy. How will she write her Scrabble story to a satisfying “Happily Ever After” conclusion? And how can she get her sweet life back when the situation is spiraling out of control? Wordplay is the first volume of the Montana Rising series.

Glory. Power. Prestige.Pastor Hilton Wilds has it all, but will temptation take it all away from him?Everyone at Endless Love Baptist Church adores Pastor Wilds, including women he has no business cavorting with, but the good pastor has one potentially fatal flaw – he loves women and never misses an opportunity to let lust lead him astray. Vonda Wilds was born to be the First Lady. Her strict upbringing set the stage for a life lived according to the virtues the Bible teaches, so marrying a pastor seemed like the ideal situation. But even the strongest and devout women can be fooled by the men they love. Pastor Wilds proclivity for women who aren’t his wife are about to cost him the life he and his devoted wife built together and shatter their tight-knit congregation. Both have serious decisions to make. Will they continue to pretend all is well or will they face the issues head on or will the temptation be too much for Pastor Wilds? Will his lust override his duty to the church and his marriage vows?

Feeling Exclusion: Religious Conflict, Exile and Emotions in Early Modern Europe investigates the emotional experience of exclusion at the heart of the religious life of persecuted and exiled individuals and communities in early modern Europe. Between the late fifteenth and early eighteenth centuries an unprecedented number of people in Europe were forced to flee their native lands and live in a state of physical or internal exile as a result of religious conflict and upheaval. Drawing on new insights from history of emotions methodologies, Feeling Exclusion explores the complex relationships between communities in exile, the homelands from which they fled or were exiled, and those from whom they sought physical or psychological assistance. It examines the various coping strategies religious refugees developed to deal with their marginalization and exclusion, and investigates the strategies deployed in various media to generate feelings of exclusion through models of social difference, that questioned the loyalty, values, and trust of “others”. Accessibly written, divided into three thematic parts, and enhanced by a variety of illustrations, Feeling Exclusion is perfect for students and researchers of early modern emotions and religion.

The start your own business bug can be incredibly easy to catch. One more needless traffic jam on your evening commute or another bad day at the office, and it’s easy to wonder if you couldn’t just build your own business instead. Scratching that itch is easy if you start an online business. Unlike real-world stores, here’s no storefront to rent and no sign to hang—all you’ll need is a free afternoon, something to sell, and perhaps $30 or less. You could start without a dedicated online store of your own yet. Perhaps you’d like to sell your products on the internet’s equivalent of a superstore or flea market, like Amazon or eBay. Maybe your product isn’t done yet, and you need pre-orders from an app like Kickstarter. You might just want to sell one product, and only need a simple checkout experience for it, or you may want to build your own full-featured online store. It’s not that hard. Starting a full-fledged online business selling things, however, is a far more difficult thing. You’ll need a name for your company, funds to get your business off the ground and running, and, perhaps, a business plan and formal legal structure. Whether you want to sell a few things occasionally or a lot of things regularly, this is the book for you. It will walk you through the questions you need to answer and the boxes you need to check before starting a business. Then, it’ll help you pick out eCommerce software, walk you through setting it up, and leave you with tips-and-tricks to make the most of your store. It’s the perfect guide to getting your own special corner of the internet to stake your claim with your own business. You’re in for a fun ride. *** What Others Say About Zapier’s Books: – “Simple and Clear.” ~Sami Al-Maqtari on Zapier’s An Introduction to APIs– “…a tremendous amount of quality information in this book” ~Steve Pickering on Zapier’s Ultimate Guide to Email Marketing Apps– “Fantastically written book.” ~Michael Wojcicki on Zapier’s Ultimate Guide to Google Sheets– “This is an amazing little book… that keeps you from reinventing the wheel.” ~Tyler Forge on Zapier’s Ultimate Guide to Project Management– “Definitely something for your team to read.” ~Christopher Brisson on Zapier’s Ultimate Guide to Customer Support– “It was really helpful to inspire our company’s processes.” ~Alejandro Rodriguez on Zapier’s Ultimate Guide to Remote Work
