FIRE OF COURAGE
By @shirleyparabia
For readers ages 7+
ISBN 979-8-9878173-8-4

I am not a warrior.

My name is Uryana. I am twelve cycles old and a child of the Baraw tribe from the Sa-Babaw peaks.

My people have been plagued by the Serpent, a beast made of flame. It first devoured our livestock, then burned our fields and orchards to ashes.

Our strongest warriors were called to face this creature, but each of them, including my own father, met their end at its merciless jaws.

I was chosen by our tribe Elders to fight the Serpent. Will I be seeing my final dusk tonight, or will the hope and fire in my heart be enough to guide me in my greatest battle?

Six short stories set in the Philippines and interwoven with poetry, this collection explores compelling romantic relationships with its unforgettable characters.

ALWAYS, YOURS
Facets of Love
by @shirleysiaton

ASSASSIN. A star athlete confesses his deadly secret to the seemingly perfect girl who had stolen his heart. Will her love be enough to bring him redemption?

ALONE. Was her colleague as predictable as he appeared to be, or was there something irresistible under the surface that secretly made her heart race?

AXIS. She was the strongest, smartest and scariest woman he had ever known. Will he be worthy of her love at last, or will he end up with his bones - and his heart - broken?

ARRIVAL. Fate brought them together again. After years of loving each other from a distance, will they finally have the courage to admit it before the shot clock runs out?

AFLAME. Her best friend had become successful and unreachable. Will getting closer to him bring fire to her frozen heart, or will she be locked in her icy isolation forever?

ANGEL. She had only ever seen him in the shadows, but her heart always sought him out. When a turf war becomes all too real, will it be too late to tell him her true feelings?

Shall I love you?
My heart could never lie,
even if I forever persist
To deceive it, and deny
That it has long since belonged to you.

The dust, too, shall tire and fall And I will find

The dust, too, shall tire and fall
And I will find the light
Streaming—first in puddles, then in waves—
into my path.
Alone once more, I face
The beginning.
Alone once more, I know
There really is no end.

DANCE IN THE DARK
Poems from the dead of night
by @shirleysiaton

Hot on the heels of her debut book ‘Black Cat and other poems,’ acclaimed author Shirley Siaton-Parabia invites the reader to dance with her to the myriad rhythms of life, in the transcendental hours of darkness, in her second book, ‘Dance in the Dark.’

Featuring verses on tribulation, emergence and redemption, this poetry collection came into being after one too many jaunts and musings in the dead of night. Experience a distinctive, unfiltered view through the eyes of a woman raised and reared in the unforgiving cities of the Philippines, as she journeys through a world of greed, poverty, crime and despair with determination and hope.

Scathed, imperfect and honest to the core, ‘Dance in the Dark’ is a celebration of a woman’s infallible heart and the indomitable human spirit.
