![]() In truth, Roni counted very few people as friends. She rarely hung out with anyone outside her pack. Odd that the Phoenix Pack’s Head Enforcer was with her. Sensing that the ringtone and the moans were coming from her left, Roni turned her head to find a male wolf shifter in the driver’s seat, eyes closed. But it was the various sounds that penetrated her mental fog: low moans, a phone ringing, a child crying, and strange voices arguing. Her brain distantly registered that the car kept leaning sideways, as if something was repeatedly pulling at it. Even the fact that her wolf was frantic didn’t disturb Roni in this dreamlike moment. There was only a feeling of weightlessness. ![]() And despite that she was pretty sure her head was bleeding, there was no pain. Strangely, Roni felt no rush of panic, no fear. ![]() Clearly the fuck-up fairy had made an appearance. Through the cobwebs clouding her mind, Roni Axton realized that it wasn’t just she who was upside down. ![]() Opening your eyes to find that you’re upside down can’t be good, can it? ![]()

Tiffa and Jack were coming too, along with Melody. But we had planned a trip to China to personally deliver my carvings to Mr. Not because he hated his job he loved it. Wilson was itching to be done with the school year. There were no wine glasses and lit candles. When he is slow and careful, peeling back your clothes with reverence and awe, when the words whispered come from somewhere beyond the lust, beyond the need, and are grounded on history, time, and endurance…sex like that is different. When he kisses your mouth and sighs your name, it’s different. It’s different when you love the one who holds you in his arms. ****A WARNING: THIS EPILOGUE CONTAINS SPOILERS**** ![]() ![]() ![]() It's about how people come together - sometimes in anger, often in sorrow, but also through love.Īnd how, when we stand together, we can bring a town back to life.

The Foundation has begun a full-scale survey and organization of his more than 80,000 works, with the aim of compiling the ‘complete’ archive. His studio in New York’s East Village, where he lived from 1952 until his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation. The publication in 2006 of his first monograph, Early Color, inspired an avid ‘rediscovery’ of Leiter’s work by contemporary audiences. He pioneered a painterly approach to colour photography starting in the late 1940s and produced covers for fashion magazines such as Esquire and Harper’s Bazaar before largely withdrawing from public attention in the 1980s. Saul Leiter was born in Pittsburgh and moved to New York City in 1946. His complex and impressionistic photographs are as much about evoking an atmosphere as nailing the decisive moment. Leiter’s images evoked the flow and rhythm of life on the mid-century streets of New York in luminous colour at a time when his contemporaries were shooting in black and white. Now widely acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest photographers, Saul Leiter (1923-2013) remained relatively unsung until he was rediscovered by curators and critics in his early 80s, and his work has been drastically re-evaluated over the last two decades. The first sightings of newly discovered work from Saul Leiter’s abundant archive of colour slides. ![]() |
