![]() ![]() ![]() From 1983 to 1995, I worked as a massage therapist, English teacher and freelance journalist, writing mostly for Plexus, the San Francisco Chronicle and The Slant, a Marin County LGBT newspaper that I helped launch and edit. ![]() That same year, Holt, Rinehart and Winston published M arin: The Place, The People, a profile of Marin County, California, with photography by Robert Conover. Little, Brown and Company, published Crush in 1981. There, I wrote Crush on a Hermes typewriter at an oak table by my window on Webster Street. In 1973 I moved to New York City to work at Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc., where I produced multi-media programs for school audiences. My first paid writing job was creating live, multi-media high school assembly programs for Rick Trow Productions in Philadelphia.

It has been called a Gothic tale, "influenced by writers as diverse as Robert Louis Stevenson, Dante, and the psychologist Carl Jung, in which a sinister potion enables the central character to escape the constraints of his dreary married life by travelling back through time". Like many of du Maurier's novels, The House on the Strand has a supernatural element, exploring the ability to mentally travel back in time and experience historical events at first hand - but not to influence them. ![]() The US edition was published by Doubleday. The House on the Strand is a novel by Daphne du Maurier, first published in the UK in 1969 by Victor Gollancz, with a jacket illustration by her daughter, Flavia Tower. ![]() ![]() ![]() Through twenty-eight novels written over the course of forty years, Terry Brooks's SHANNARA series has entranced millions of readers around the world.

I chose to read a physical copy of the book and I gotta say, I think listening to the audio might be the better choice with this one. The writing was pretty good for the most part. This is great for a really good self-help book – you should want to revisit parts of it! So it’s great for starting and stopping as needed, as well as referring back to later on. Five parts, with several chapters and sub-sections within each of those chapters. It’s broken up into manageable, easy-to-read chunks. You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life is a pretty short and fairly quick read. I honestly think my boyfriend might have bought it? In any case – I liked the title and I thought it would be good to start the new year with some motivation. I don’t even know how this book ended up on my shelf. ![]() ![]() ![]() For me this had elements of Tolkien, Martin Feist and Sanderson thrown into the mix. Obviously when you read quite a few fantasy novels it’s easy to start to make comparisons and this book is no exception. It’s probably easier to expand on the story simply by discussing the world building and characters. I don’t want to really elaborate on the plot as I think that way lies the path of spoilers. From there we quickly build up a picture of the world and it’s inhabitants as the author weaves together a rich story with protagonists that I really cared for and great world building that really helps to set the scene. The book gets off to a great start, literally bursting out of the gates with a dramatic battle sequence. To be honest I was captivated by the characters and found myself driven to keep on reading even into the early hours of the morning making this a speedy read indeed. ![]() Thankfully that very much proved to be the case. The glowing review of the blogger who submitted this book to Stage 2 was so convincing that I actually went and bought book No.2 simply with the expectation that I would be in love and would want to continue on. To be honest, I expected to like this one before I started. ![]() My most recent book for the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off was Phil Tucker’s Path of Flames. ![]() ![]() Plants should be watered with a Watering Can. See the table below for all existing flowers and their stages. There are 2 initial stages ( something and sprout) common to all plants, and most of them have a growing, a grown and a permanent stage, the first two being succetible to become dry and wither if not watered properly. These plants need to be watered, otherwise they become dry, and then wither. There are several different plants which can be planted on Empty Flower Pots by using Seeds or Ice Flower Seeds. If an article link referred you here, you might want to go back and fix it to point directly to the intended page. ![]() This is a Disambiguation page - a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ![]() ![]() Logan and Tate - and their Temptation Series cannot be beat - between their growing love and chemistry - taken to the 10th power by Shannon Gunn - Through Robbie, Julien and Priest - I find Charlie David very well suited to this Trio - he does a beautiful job with them - and Ella by writing a different and yet similarly enthralling vibe to Logan and Tate. ![]() Ella is as far as I am concerned one of the premiere male male writers - a genre i've only come to love in the last few years. I loved all three of these books - they were excellent - I was skeptical - it's hard to beat Logan and Tate throughout their books, but these books while different, captured some of the same affection for me. ![]() ![]() Priest is the least verbal of this Trio - Julien and Robbie are definitely more transparent. ![]() ![]() ![]() As the two girls spy on the grown-ups and try to understand the truth behind their evasions, a lifelong bond is formed. When she meets Frances, the daughter of an American archaeologist, her life is transformed.

Sent abroad to Egypt in 1922 to recover from the typhoid that killed her mother, eleven-year-old Lucy is caught up in the intrigue and excitement that surrounds the obsessive hunt for Tutankhamun's tomb. ![]() I knew what it meant, that clasp and the mischievous grateful glance that accompanied it: it meant I was thanked, that there were secrets here. Under the tablecloth, Frances's hand reached for mine and clasped it. ![]() |
