4.50 From Paddington 4.50 From Paddington 4.50 From Paddington 4.50 From Paddington Chapter 1 Mrs. McGillicuddy panted along the platform in the wake of the porter carrying her suitcase. Mrs. McGillicuddy was short and stout, the porter was tall and free-striding. In addition, Mrs. McGillicuddy was burdened with a large quantity of parcels; the result of a day's Christmas shopping. The race was, therefore, an uneven one, and the porter turned the corner at the end of the platform whilst Mrs. McGillicuddy was still coming up the straight. No.1 Platform was not at the moment unduly crowded, since a train had just gone out, but in the no-man's land beyond, a milling crowd was rushing in several directions at once, to and from undergrounds, left-luggage offices, tearooms, inquiry offices, indicator boards, and the two outlets.

Blood Lust: Conversations With Real Vampires

Carol Page

A survey of honest-to-goodness human bloodsuckers that manages to buffer sensationalism with sympathy. Through historical research, anecdotes, and interviews, free- lance journalist Page (Cosmopolitan, Omni, etc.) celebrates ``the decade of the vampire'' and the impact of the vampire image on popular culture from cereal shapes, novels, movies, and fashions to rock music, pornography, and political cartoons. While admitting that the vampire mystique is ``about sex and power,'' she tries to debunk the myth by portraying her subjects as needy and lonely souls whose craving for blood or obsession with those who crave it are not much different from such other emotional maladies as manic- depression or eating disorders. Among her subjects: a gay vampire who ``drinks other people's blood to get to know and understand them better''; a vampire hunter who claims to be a distant grandson of Lord Byron; and a young man convicted of murdering a woman whom he perceived to be his blood-sucking grandmother. Without getting too mired in theories or details, Page also discusses African blood-drinking rituals, a London ``Dracula Society'' that stages a ``Hunt-A-Vampire Weekend,'' the influence of the 60's soap opera Dark Shadows, and a Fox-TV vampire special in which facts apparently were egregiously fudged. She also draws a hilarious comparison between Vlad Tepes--the infamous Romanian prince on whom Bram Stoker's Dracula is supposedly based--and Romania's toppled dictator Ceausescu. Avoiding the lurid gush of Norine Dresser's American Vampires (1989), Page entertains, informs, and even inspires the cause for ``Vampire's Rights'' without draining too much out of us. -- <i>Copyright 1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

In the three hundred and fifty years he has walked the planet, no woman has ever affected him like Marduk. The lust Decatur feels grips him—he’s ready to take her, possess her, body and soul. Marduk’s not sure what’s going on. A dream lover takes her in a way that leaves her gasping and crying out for more. And then there’s the vampire. Who is he? What does he want from her and why can’t she say no to the sinfully sexual pleasure he offers? Overcoming the odds against them for a love that burns like fire is her one desire.

Evans The Wicked Stepmother gets a lesson in submission… Edna Emily Rella runs the Wicked Stepmother and her Stepsisters S&M parlor in Kingdom City, but she has a secret. She's not so wicked.

Dirty Laundry (Sofie Metropolis, Book 2)

Tori Carrington

Five months have passed since Sofie Metropolis caught her would-be husband, "Thomas-the-Toad," flagrante delicto with her maid of honor on their wedding day in Carrington's <i>Sofie Metropolis</i> (2005). In this cute if predictable sequel, the zany Greek-American from Astoria, Queens, is a PI-in-training, working on mundane cases for her uncle Spyros's investigative agency. When Apostolis Pappas (aka Uncle Tolly), the popular elderly owner of the neighborhood dry cleaners, goes missing, Sofie jumps at the chance to find him. The only catch is Uncle Tolly might have been laundering money for a sexy Italian mobster. Carrington (nom de plume for a Greek-American husband-and-wife writing team) depicts Sofie's world with the nutty sweetness of baklava. With the focus on fun rather than blood, this chick-lite mystery further develops Sophie's relationship with Jake Porter, the handy but possibly dangerous Aussie bounty hunter, who adds just the right amount of delectable sexual tension to this crime confection. <i>(May)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

I worked late every day this week so my brilliant plan was to get up early this morning and go to the laundromat and wash at least one load of clothes so I had something clean to wear to work.

Call of the Highland Moon (MacInnes Werewolves, Book 1)

Kendra Leigh Castle

Gideon MacInnes is next in line, among Scottish werewolves, to be the guardian of the Stone of Destiny, but he wants to see the world first. In northern New York, he's attacked by mercenary werewolves hired by his treacherous cousin, Malachi. Wounded and near death, Gideon flees to the doorstep of Carly Silver, who takes in the sad-looking animal and nurses it to health. When she wakes, the wolf has become a man. Carly reacts well, and her attraction to Gideon is immediate, but her life is in danger from the werewolf following Gideon. Carly's job as the owner of a book store specializing in romances won't go unappreciated. Some readers will want more pack dynamics and supernatural elements, but fans of straightup romance looking for a little extra something will be bitten. <i>(May)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Adventures of Sugar and Junior

Angela Shelf Medearis

Grade 2-3-In four chapters, Medearis relates the friendship and adventures of Sugar Johnson, a black girl, and Santiago Ramirez, a Hispanic boy known as Junior. The first story is the best as the two new neighbors meet and Sugar relates how she got her name. The other chapters cover cookie baking, a scary movie, and buying ice-cream cones. One of book's strengths is the easy and open friendship between the two children. Poydar introduces each chapter with a large watercolor painting and then sprinkles the text with smaller pictures that capture the expressions and action of the characters. The school-age children, large-print type, easy vocabulary, and chapter format make the book most appropriate for beginning readers, who will relate to the activities and see themselves as Sugar and Junior, meeting new people and making friends as they move beyond the family circle and out into a larger world.<br /><i>Judith Gloyer, Milwaukee Public Library</i><br />Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Cavalier: A Tale of Chivalry, Passion, and Great Houses

Lucy Worsley

Worsley, the chief curator of Britain's Historic Royal Palaces, closely examines the life of 17th-century English aristocrat William Cavendish, a champion of poetry, music, horses, women and architecture, with reference to numerous primary sources including a rich body of his estate papers, letters and poems. Every detail of Cavendish's universe comes to life, from architect John Smithson's designs for his exquisite home to the job descriptions and diets of the building site's laborers. Also vividly described is a nasty household plot against Cavendish's much younger second wife and a costly entertainment staged by Cavendish to curry favor with Charles I. It succeeded, and the King made William earl, marquis, his heir's tutor and a Civil War general, a commission beyond Cavendish's abilities. After a key battle of the war ended in disaster, Cavendish fled to the continent, lived in relative poverty and was branded a coward, but his fortunes rebounded under Charles II, who minted him duke of Newcastle. Although fascinating, this diligently documented account reveals its roots as a doctoral thesis. 16-page color insert, b&amp;w illus. <i>(Oct. 20)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Sex Happens: The Gay Man's Guide to Creative Intimacy

Arlen Keith Leight

IT'S ABOUT TIME!! . . . Thank you Dr. Leight . . . for FINALLY presenting a REALISTIC book addressing man-to-man unique challenges and obstacles to intimacy with specific suggestions, strategies, and guidelines offering sexual openness way beyond bars, beaches, bathhouses and bookstores. Too often gay men's sex is quietly sanitized under the umbrella of heterosexist intimacy paradigms. With cards on the table, SEX HAPPENS addresses unique sexual templates, elements of healthy dialogue and creative relationship agreements . . . with helpful questions to ponder and specific exercises for Creative Intimacy. SEX HAPPENS--honest, helpful, and CRITICALLY ON TIME!!! THANKS from all the gay men, sex therapists, counseling and medical students with whom I will be sharing SEX HAPPENS. --Dr. Marilyn K. Volker, Sexologist, American Board of Sexology, American Academy of Clinical Sexologists, Private Practice, Miami, Florida<br /><br />With <i>Sex Happens,</i> Dr. Leight has written an important and valuable guide for gay men seeking deeper, intimate connections. He writes clearly about components of a healthy relationship, as well as normal concerns that occur over time, presenting an informative perspective for any gay man. <i>Sex Happens</i> contains numerous questionnaires that are grounded in Dr. Leight's extensive experience and which allow the reader to gain an understanding of his own individual patterns and blocks to creative intimacy. These are accompanied by exercises for couples that present an opportunity for practical application of these insights. Throughout the book Dr. Leight takes into account the broader structural and contractual elements unique to man-on-man relationships, and presents various tools for those men who choose to consciously open their relationships or, if appropriate, to end those relationships in a healthy way. Various appendices contain valuable information, including a graphic illustration of the evolution of a relationship, an inventory of feelings, techniques for increasing comfort of anal intercourse, and examples of various relationship agreements that are mentioned in the book. Dr. Leight writes from his professional experience with sensitivity, guiding the reader through the often-difficult emotional and sexual terrain of intimate relationships. This is an important book for gay men and professionals alike. --David Fawcett, LCSW, PhD<br /><br />Dr. Leight has combined with his professional expertise with sound sex therapy and psychological technique to create 'the' book for helping male couples understand the unique issues of intimacy and communication between men. This book is an important and necessary tool for any therapist working with gay couples as well as a great guide for couples to use to enhance their relationships. As a licensed psychologist and sex therapist I highly recommend <i>Sex Happens.</i> --George Kallas, Psy.D., Ph.D.

The Case for Ghosts: An Objective Look at the Paranormal

J. Allan Danelek

When an author claims to make a "case for ghosts," the reader expects documentation--lots of it. One expects case histories of documented occurrences, statistical analyses of representative events, and a rational, good-faith attempt to find both normal and paranormal explanations for these events. Unfortunately, Danelek's book fails in each of these expectations. More a philosophical and phenomenological treatise, Danelek expounds on why ghosts might exist and how they might be documented. A seemingly reasonable explanation for a phenomenon is not proof that the phenomenon actually occurs, as Carl Jung pointed out 100 years ago. Jung studied poltergeists, yet Danelek never even mentions him-nor does he cite the near-death experience scholarship of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and Raymond Moody (Life After Life), which may represent the best evidence so far for the survival of souls after death. The book contains a few anecdotes, but none of these are documented. To add insult, Danelek's writing style is frustratingly roundabout-why use two words when eight will confuse the reader even further?<br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

The Magic Touch: A Novel

Rachel Simon

This playful, bawdy first novel is presented as a biography of "sexual healer" Celeste Kipplebaum Runetoon Kelley, whose convoluted moniker characterizes the overall goofy spirit. Simon imaginatively combines a young woman's coming-of-age story with the concept of deities in human form and pure evil infiltrating homes through TV sets. From day one, Celeste performs miracles, delivering herself from her dead mother's womb, then reviving her. Celeste grows up able to see colored patterns in people's shadows, and she can heal by drawing out the negative colors. During puberty, she begins to use sex to cure the sick. Ailing people turn her on; even criminals are helpless against her, for she exerts superhuman strength in dangerous situations. The down side is that villains intend to end her altruistic ways, and Celeste herself fears that her unquenchable lust is a tool of the devil. If suspension of disbelief is well-nigh impossible to come by--Celeste's hometown is the Bullwinklesque Fossilfink Falls, Pa., the venal U.S. vice president's name is Stinkweed and Celeste motors around in a Dodge Royal that talks--Simon ( Little Nightmares, Little Dreams , a collection of stories) deserves credit for unpredictability, inventiveness and a slam-bang finish. Easy-going readers with a high tolerance for sexy, often raunchy escapades are in for a wild ride. <br />Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

The Brain, Consciousness & Illusion of Truth

Karol Ondrias

How do we know that something is true or false? How does the brain discern the truth? What kind of mechanism allows the brain to interpret the information received in the shape of electrical and chemical impulses to which it is constantly exposed? Is it the case that our brains are endowed with appropriate algorithmic rules for discriminating between truth and untruth, alongside certain rules for handling, say, optical information? Is it the case that the brain produces illusions of truth like it does illusions of vision? My answer is in the positive, and this is what I shall be seeking to show in this essay.

Pictures of You

Caroline Leavitt

The <em>Boston Globe </em>describes <em>Pictures of You </em>as part literary mystery, part domestic drama, and part psychological examination, and, indeed, the novel kept most critics on their toes the entire time. A novel of loss, redemption, forgiveness, and self-discovery, the intertwining stories grapple not only with the tragedy but also with the mystery of Aprils hasty departure from her family. Reviewers commented that what could have been a maudlin, predictable storyline instead becomes fresh with Leavitts direct, unsentimental writing; her you-are-here details; and her fully convincing characters. Readers who enjoy both fine storytelling and writing will be sure to savor this novel.

Praise for _Pictures of You_ “ _Pictures of You_ is a magically written, heartbreakingly honest snapshot of the people we leave behind and those we can’t let go, a portrait of the full spectrum of the human heart. Caroline Leavitt is one of those fabulous, incisive writers you read and then ask yourself, Where has she been all my life?” —Jodi Picoult, author of _House Rules_ “Riveting and poignant and deeply moving. Caroline Leavitt has given us a beautiful and hypnotic exploration of the ways we heal—and, yes, the ways we don’t.” —Chris Bohjalian, author of _Secrets of Eden_ “Caroline Leavitt’s new novel is an achingly wise tale about how each of us tries to shape our deepest sense of self, challenged not only by other souls in a similar pursuit but by the very forces of life itself, be they happenstance or destiny. In _Pictures of You_ , Caroline Leavitt is a splendid writer at the peak of her powers.” —Robert Olen Butler, author of _Hell_ “I have long admired Caroline Leavitt

Blood Cross (Jane Yellowrock, Book 2)

Faith Hunter

In the second Jane Yellowrock caper, New Orleans vampire council has hired the Cherokee-descended shapeshifter to hunt and kill a rogue who is unleashing young, insane vampires on humans, which is against the vampire code. But loyalties run deeper than law among the undead, and one local vampire VIP has a grudge against Jane for destroying his son. Jane gets into a complicated stew involving human and vampire rivalries, the ancient vampire-witch conflict, the New Orleans police, and her need to balance her beast and human natures. What with puzzles, chases (including a climactic one to rescue children), lots of blood, and some explicit sex, count on this to please thriller and dark romance fans alike. --Frieda Murray

Temporary Sanity: A Crime Novel

Rose Connors

"It occurs to me, as I pack up my briefcase," says Cape Cod attorney Marty Nickerson, "that I'm two for two. First in Buck Hammond's case, and now in this one, I'm arguing that the dead guy deserved it. I've barely begun my career with the defense bar, but I seem to be developing a niche." Any niche is a good niche for Marty-who in Connors's smart, sassy and exciting second crime novel (after 2002's Absolute Certainty) has switched from ace prosecutor to determined defender without missing a beat. Marty and her lover, former Barnstable County public defender Harry Madigan, have plunged into private practice, taking on the controversial case of Hammond-a distraught father who shot, on live television, the man who raped and murdered his seven-year-old son. Then, to add to single mother Marty's impossible work load as Christmas approaches, a savagely battered woman client is charged with the stabbing death of her attacker, a brutal parole officer. Connors, a veteran trial attorney, has a rich enough stock of mordant legal anecdotes to keep her going for years. Even more important, she is so good at creating believable characters (two very different judges, a sardonically ambitious but sympathetic district attorney, a couple of winning teenagers) that even readers with little interest in courtroom shenanigans should find in favor of her humanity.<br />Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Rose in Bloom Stephanie Laurens One Ballynashiels, Argyllshire June 17, 1826 "What the devil are you doing here?" Duncan Roderick Macintyre, third earl of Strathyre, stared, stupefied, at the willowy form bent over the piano stool in his drawing room. Sheer shock, liberally laced with disbelief, held him frozen on the threshold. A lesser man would have goggled. Rose Millicent Mackenzie-Craddock, bane of his life, most insistent, persistent thorn in his flesh, lifted her head and looked up—and smiled at him, with the same, slightly lopsided smile with which she'd taunted him for decades. Her large, light-brown eyes twinkled. "Good morning, Duncan. I'd heard you'd arrived." Her soft, lilting brogue washed over him, a warm caress beneath his skin. His gaze locked on the expanse of creamy breasts now on display, Duncan stiffened—all over. The reaction was as much a surprise as finding Rose here—and every bit as unwelcome. His j

Bellagrand: A Novel

Paullina Simons

The white Floridian mansion seems like a dream to Gina after years of struggling to scrape by. Her relief is palpable at the ease and luxury of life at Bellagrand, given to her husband by his mother, but equally evident is her feeling that this respite cannot last. Set before Simons The Bronze Horseman, the book dissects Ginas fraught marriage at great length. An immigrant from Sicily, Gina finds that her goal of a better life clashes with the consequences of her husbands communist ideals through the strikes, war, and disease of the early twentieth century. Although the simultaneous rise of the Soviet Union and crackdown on seditious comment in the U.S. are central to the story, other historical references at times seem shoehorned in. The plot, despite some eloquent moments, largely plods through more marital squabbles than one would care to count. The central characters are richly developed, and one gets to know them well over such an expanse of time. Whether that time is well spent will depend on the readers investment in the story. --Bridget Thoreson

The Lost Canyon of Gold: The Discovery of the Legendary Lost Adams Diggings

W.C. Jameson

<span><span>The Final Quest for One of Americas Most Famous Lost Gold Mines<br /><br />The tale of the Lost Adams Diggings is one of the most well-known lost-treasure stories in America. First popularized by folklorist and author J. Frank Dobie in his book </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver</span><span> in 1928, it is one of the strongest and most mythologized tales of lost treasure on the continent.</span></span><br /><span><span><br />Gold was taken from Adams canyon in enormous quantities, with nuggets ranging from dust-size to some as large as hens eggs, all being plucked from the bottom of a shallow stream. The gold was sometimes harvested by the Apache Indians, who used it to trade for rifles and ammunition, and then later by a man known only as Adams and his party of miners.</span></span><br /><span><span><br />Because of the allure of gold and the promise of wealth, the Lost Adams Diggings has been searched for by thousands of hopeful prospectors and adventurers during the past one hundred and fifty years. Dozens have claimed discovery, but their declarations have never held up under investigation, nor did the finders ever return home with any significant amount of gold.</span></span><br /><span><span><br />This true story of the Lost Adams Diggings starts with the discovery of the rich deposit of gold in a remote mountain range, and ends with the authors own story of search and discovery in the twentieth century.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight:bold;">W.C.

The Immortal Game: A History of Chess, or How 32 Carved Pieces on a Board Illuminated Our Understanding of War, Art, Science and the Human Brain

David Shenk

Those curious about chess and wishing to learn more about the game (but not too much more) will welcome this accessible, nontechnical introduction. Shenk (<i>The Forgetting</i>) succinctly surveys the game's history from its origins in fifth- or sixth-century Persia up to the present, touching along the way on such subjects as his own amateurish pursuit of the game, erratic geniuses like Paul Morphy and Bobby Fischer, chess in schools today, computer chess and his great-great-grandfather Samuel Rosenthal, who was an eminent player in late 19th-century Europe. To heighten the drama, Shenk intersperses the text with the moves of the so-called "immortal game," a brilliant example of "romantic" chess played between Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky in London in 1851. Appendixes include transcripts of five other great games, along with Benjamin Franklin's brief essay "The Morals of Chess." Readers will come away from this entertaining book with a strong sense of why chess has remained so popular over the ages and why its study still has much to tell us about the workings of the human mind. 50 b&amp;w illus. <i>(Sept.)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Oryx and Crake (Random House Large Print)

Margaret Atwood

Ingenious and disturbing. A landmark work of speculative fiction, comparable to <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>, <i>Brave New World</i>. Atwood has surpassed herself.<br /><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)<br /><br />Rigorous in its chilling insights and riveting in its fast-paced what if dramatization, Atwoods superb novel is as brilliantly provocative as it is profoundly engaging.<br /><i>Booklist</i> (starred review)<br /><br /><i>Oryx and Crake</i> is Atwood at her playful, allegorical best.<br /><i>Globe and Mail<br /></i><br />[<i>Oryx and Crake</i> is written] with a style and grace that demonstrate again just how masterful a storyteller she is. If one measure of arts power is its ability to force you to face what you would very much rather not, <i>Oryx and Crake</i> the evocative tale of a nightmarish near-future is an extraordinary work of art, one that reaffirms Atwoods place at the apex of Canadian literature.<br /><i>Macleans<br /><br /></i>Atwoods new masterpiece.Extraordinary. [Atwood pulls] back the curtain on her terrible vision with such tantalizing precision, its fearsome implications dont fully reveal themselves until the final pages. A darkly comic work of speculative fiction.<br /><i>W Magazine </i>(U.S.)<br /><br />For all its artistic achievement, this novel poses serious questions. Margaret Atwood is a consummate artist, yes, but her work also pricks our social and ethical consciousness. That is a rare combination, an important <br />achievement.<br /><i>Globe and Mail<br /></i><br />Atwoods great talent for narrative has never been displayed to better effect.<br /><i>Toronto Star<br /></i><br />Riveting.Chesterton once wrote of the thousand romances that lie secreted in <i>The Origin of Species</i>. Atwood has extracted one of the most hair-raising of them, and one of the most brilliant.<br /><i>Publishers Weekly<br /><br /></i><i>Oryx and Crake</i> is Atwood at her best dark, dry, scabrously witty, yet moving and studded with flashes of pure poetry. Her gloriously inventive brave new world is all the more chilling because of the mirror it holds up to our own. Citizens, be warned.<br /><i>The Independent</i> (U.K.)<br /><br /><i>Oryx and Crake</i> can hold its own against any of the 20th centurys most potent dystopias <i>Brave New World</i>,<i> 1984</i>, <i>The Space Merchants</i> with regard to both dramatic impact and fertility of invention.<i>Oryx and Crake</i> showcases a nightmare version of the present era of globalization on a globe coming apart at its ecological seams. It is a scathing (because bang-on) portrait of the way we live now.Majestic.<br /><i>Washington Post<br /></i><br />Is there a more accomplished or versatile writer, in Canada, than Margaret Atwood? Atwood is on top of the times intuits them, really. The moral questions of <i>Oryx and Crake</i> are already in play.<i><br /></i><i>National Post</i> (profile)<br /><br /><i>Oryx and Crake</i> is a broad canvas that allows Atwood to show off her brilliant talent for satire and wordplay, as well as her considerable love and knowledge of the natural world.<br /><i>Quill &amp; Quire<br /></i><br />Wonderfully vivid, and the sardonic unveiling of future history makes for a strong narrative drive.<br /><i>National Post<br /></i><br />Perfectly constructed, funny, and satiric. It is inventive yet prophetic, in fact, apocalyptic and weirdly feasible. It is brilliant.<br /><i>Winnipeg Free Press<br /><br /></i><i>Oryx and Crake </i>is set just the other side of the evening news, in a future so close we can smell its stench.Atwood has outdone herself here.<br /><i>Georgia Straight<br /><br /></i>Contemporary novelists rarely write about science or technology. Margaret Atwood tackles both and more in one of the years most surprising novels.<br /><i>The Economist<br /></i>

Peach County:: The World's Peach Paradise (Images of America)

Marilyn Neisler Windham

Historian and writer Marilyn Neisler Windham has carefully selected more than 150 images from the collections at the Thomas Public Library and combined them with interesting contextual information to bring alive an era when the grandeur of the Old South was at its peak. From rare images of events at the festival--including barbecues with mile-long serving tables and pageants with incredibly ornate costumes--to a wide range of photographs of Fort Valley in the early twentieth century, this visual history is a delight to delve into and a reminder of the need to preserve the rich and varied heritage of Peach County, Georgia.

By Cunning and Craft: Sound Advice and Practical Wisdom for Fiction Writers

Peter Selgin

There is craft and there is cunning. There is the struggle to get published at all. But there is also the chance that you will do something extraordinary. Peter Selgin illustrates the tricks, both basic and sophisticated. But greatness is what he's really interested in. He thrusts the readers into the company of those who wrote magnificently. Salinger is quoted, Hemingway, Thomas Mann, E.M. Forster, John Gardner. "This book is for serious writers of all levels," he writes in the beginning, and he's talking about intentions. If you mean to shoot for the stars, then this book is for you. <P>--Benjamin Cheever, author of The Plagiarist, The Partisan (both New York Times Best Books), Famous After Death, and The Good Nanny <P> Peter Selgin has written an excellent guide--witty, lucid, well-written--for beginning writers of fiction. In fact, any writer can learn from it. <P>--Vivian Gornick, author of The Situation and the Story: The Art of Personal Narrative and Approaching Eye Level <P> Cunning and craft, indeed: Within these pages Peter Selgin quotes Chekov to the effect that, "The writer's task is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly." What I admire most about By Cunning & Craft is its rare and inspired modesty--an ultimately stylish resistance to pledging more than Selgin (really anyone) can deliver. May many learn from this book. <P>--Robert Polito, author of Savage Art: A Biography Of Jim Thompson, and Director of the New School Graduate Writing Program <P> Writing fiction is a matter of choices, decisions that shape the imagination. No one clarifies those choices more effectively than Peter Selgin in By Cunning & Craft. He demystifies the alternatives through straightforward explanations and illustrations. By showing the options, by suggesting which are most effective for specific situations, and by demonstrating through examples, Selgin gives writers the resources to structure their creativity. <P>--Walter Cummins, Editor, The Literary Review <P> Along with the great advice, Selgin is pure pleasure to read. <P>--Alexander Steele, Dean of Faculty, Gotham Writers' Workshop <P> By Cunning & Craft is a masterpiece of writing about writing. If, like Scheherazade, you had to spin out a story under threat of death, this is the how-to book to read. It's filled with thoughtful, nuanced advice from a teacher/writer who actually writes--and writes beautifully and with great humor. The list of rejected stories is worth the price of the whole book. <P>--Nora Gallagher, author of Things Seen and Unseen, Practicing Resurrection, and the forthcoming Changing Light <P> A wonderfully helpful, thorough, and honest book on writing, By Cunning & Craft is filled with good sense, good advice, and many excellent examples of good writing. A book to read and read again with profit by the beginning, the middle, and the writer of many years. <P>--Sheila Kohler, author of Cracks, Crossways, and The Children of Pithiviers

Tomorrows War: The Threat of High-Technology Weapons

David Shukman

The next time Tom Clancy writes a techno-thriller, he will want to have this book by his side. David Shukman, a defense correspondent for the BBC, shows how the military may take full advantage of the information age over the next 30 years. Electronics, computers, miniaturization, automation, and genetic engineering will all play a role in future conflict, he writes. <b>Tomorrow's War</b> covers the somewhat mundane (improved missile targeting) as well as the seemingly improbable (ant-sized robots). And throughout this well-written book is an implicit argument for why we will still need advanced weapons in the 21st century.

MILITARY MEDUSA: Microwave crowd‐control raygun By Loz Blain July 18, 2008 July 18, 2008 As part of the U.S. Navy's investigation into futuristic nonlethal weaponry, the Sierra Nevada Corporation is building a microwave energy pulse gun that can produce a painful screaming sound inside a person's head from a long distance away. The inescapable sound, which is inaudible to untargeted bystanders, can be set to irritate, nauseate or even incapacitate people and animals that lie within range. Future applications may include crowd control, military use and even shopping mall security, provided it proves safe from permanent side effects. The science behind it also has the potential to give hearing to certain deaf people, or even projecting voices into peoples' heads.

When shoe designer Maddie Springer finds her boyfriend, Richard, has gone missing, along with $20 million of his company's funds, she's determined to track him downpartly because she's certain he's innocent, but mostly because her period is late. Maddie persuades her best friend, Dana, to be her partner in crime solving, and it isn't long before they stumble on the body of Richard's bossjust moments after he's been shot dead. Enter sexy LAPD detective Jack Ramirez, who just wants Maddie to "go home and let him handle this," which, of course, isn't going to happen. The only clues to the murder are two blond hairs and the imprint of a stiletto heel, pointing to a female killer; topping the suspect list is receptionist and designer fashion junkie Jasmine, followed by porn-star Bunny, who's up to her implants in debt. The nonstop action runs the gambit from faulty EPTs to wild rides on L.A.'s freeways to wedding plans gone awry, all of which are guaranteed to keep chick lit and mystery fans happy. <i>(Aug.)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Taking a chair from near the wall, she placed it in front of the bookcase, climbed on it, and reached for the tin case containing the drugs. At that moment, Hastings suddenly sneezed, and Barbara, with a start, dropped the box. “Oh!” she exclaimed in some confusion. “I didn't know there was anyone here.” Hastings rushed forward and retrieved the box, which Poirot then took from him. “Permit me, mademoiselle,” said the detective. “I am sure that is too heavy for you.” He moved to the center table and placed the tin case upon it. “It is a little collection of yours?” he asked. “The birds' eggs? The sea shells, perhaps?” “I'm afraid it's much more prosaic, Monsieur Poirot,” replied Barbara, with a nervous laugh. “Nothing but pills and powders!” “But surely,” said Poirot, “one so young, so full of health and vigour, has n

The Sperm Donor's Daughter & Other Stories of Modern Family

Kathryn Trueblood

"I make up terms now, and I think former is nicer than ex: ex-wife, ex-step-brother, ex-step-sister-father-mother. That is if you want to keep them in your permanent collection." The permanent collections of scattered families haunt the six stories of this muted debut about characters who search, mostly in vain, for relationships with which to anchor their lives. A lonely woman mulls over her affectionate but ominous childhood with her brother. A married woman ends the affair that promised love instead of security. A widower makes a second go at marriage in the shadow of his first wife's suicide. The bulk of the book is made up of the title novella, in which a 20-year-old pregnant woman discovers the truth about her father and leaves home in search of her past. Although Trueblood relies too much on roughly indistinguishable, self-pitying points of view and maudlin turns of phrase, she surprises even the impatient reader with the occasional well-observed image: "Wood smoke chugs from the chimneys without making a difference to the sky: gray, gone gray, all gray"?a phrase that describes all-too-well the heart of this collection. <BR>Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Every Writer's Guide to Copyright and Publishing Law, Second Edition

Ellen M. Kozak

It would be wrong for a writer to assume that the mere hiring of an agent or a lawyer absolves him or her of all responsibility to understand copyright and other publishing laws. For one thing, most lawyers are not schooled in the intricacies of these laws; for another, a writer could save a bundle of money by preparing well before going to a lawyer. But most importantly, it behooves a writer to have a working understanding of the laws that govern his or her work, because some of them are complicated, and pleading ignorance isn't usually a strong defense. Ellen M. Kozak provides a trim primer on such legal issues as the ever-evolving U.S. copyright laws (including the burgeoning field of electronic copyright), contracts, libel, fair use, work for hire, collaboration agreements, and dealing with copyright infringement. This is a modest, straightforward guide that explains the many complex laws behind the deceptively simple copyright dictum that "all works of sufficient length," according to Kozak, "... are covered by federal law once they have been fixed in a medium of expression from which they can be read back." <i>--Jane Steinberg</i>

Micah grew up in the Zapato orphanage, and is proud to take over Abuelo Zapato’s role of providing for the family—the children who have become his siblings—in Everland’s leather goods shop. Since being scarred in one of his brother-in-law’s gunfights, he knows they’re the only family he’ll ever have. And he’s at peace with that…until fate—or the Guild of Godmothers—drops two unexpected females in his path. When his old childhood friend Penelope—Pea—shows up just in time to save him from a gruesome death, Micah is smitten. And when he sees her cuddling the new baby orphan, he’s in love. But Pea isn’t in Everland on a whim; she’s there on a mission regarding Micah’s past, and refuses to tell him the truth. That secret is going to tear them apart, unless they get some help from a particularly dopey Godmother. And that's when everything goes wron

Tart Cards: London's Illicit Advertising Art

Caroline Archer

The practice of placing prostitutes' cards in phone boxes is known as 'carding'. It is a particularly English phenomenon specific to London and the seaside resorts of Brighton and Hove where they serve a flourishing tourist trade. There have also been small outcrops of cards on the coast of North Lincolnshire that cater for a transient maritime population. Elsewhere in the UK, prostitutes still hold to the older methods of notices in shop windows although advertising in local newspapers is also used. <P>Behind the cards there is a vibrant and well-organised industry that comprises prostitutes, punters [clients], pimps and printers. It is an illicit business, but one that is thriving and persistent and where money changes hands swiftly and inconspicuously. Carding started as a kitchen table industry with a handful of prostitutes and their maids cutting out images, drawing their own illustrations, rubbing down lettering and then passing it all over to a trusted printer. It has developed into an extensive, professional, well-organised and highly technical production process that utilises the latest manufacturing systems. -Caroline Archer, from "Foreplay" the introduction to Tart Cards.

My children and I are the products or many generations of interracial coupling, as I too have married outside of my race. This story came to me, when I experienced firsthand how difficult being a part of an interracial relationship could be. Upon deeper consideration, I found myself wondering how even more difficult it must have been for my parents and grandparents for that matter. As I explored these thoughts and feelings, The Summer of Tsunami was born. I have earned a Masters Degree in Health &amp; Healing and have dedicated my life to the well-being of others. I have developed multiple youth programs, ranging from snapping turtle research with National Geographic to building wooden boats and drums with underprivileged children.

Runaway Shopping Cart

Kathy Long

PreSchool-Grade 2Kaleb waits outside in the shopping cart while his mother pops back into the store for a forgotten item. After the grocery boy pushes the cart to the car, he sneezes a great big sneeze, letting go of the cart, and it begins to roll. In Gingerbread Man fashion, the bright red cart-with a smiling Kaleb inside-acquires a train of followers as it bolts, zooms, and zips through town. Kwas's bright, modern-looking graphics sweep youngsters along to the journey's conclusion, back at the store just as Mom returns. Creative layouts and expressively rendered figures bring life to what could be just another cumulative tale. Even a stop sign gets star treatment with a little extra razzle-dazzle. Long peppers her repeating passages with just enough variation to keep readers rolling along through the text.

Hell's Angels: Three Can Keep a Secret If Two Are Dead'

Y. Lavigne

A reporter for the Toronto Globe and Mail here examines the history and status quo of various groups of bikers (Hell's Angels are the best known) currently active in the U.S. and Canada. Lavigne describes--in overtly sensationalistic fashion--the media sensationalism that surrounds (and for a time succored) outlaw bikers, alleging that present-day gangs (Hell's Angels, Outlaws, Pagans, Bandidos) rival, and even surpass, traditional organized crime mobs in terms of revenues, organization and ruthlessness. While certain sections of the book (deep history, inter-gang feuding, an in-depth portrayal of the multiple execution of five Montreal Hell's Angels in 1985) do illuminate a relatively inaccessible subculture, the bulk of the volume is an amalgam of turgid prose, luridly violent anecdote and speculative, hyperbolic hypothesis. An assessment of bikers' attitudes toward women is couched in grossly offensive language, while a litany of security systems and weapons arsenals of gang-chapter clubhouses is merely boring. <BR>Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Ron Owens

<div><span>Ron Owens has traveled the world for over 40 years with his wife Patricia, gratefully serving where the Lord has opened doors for them. In North America they continue to minister in conferences, churches, seminaries and colleges. Their focus includes Ron&apos;s preaching and teaching on the subjects of Worship and Revival as well as their joint ministry through music and composition.</span></div><br /><div><span></span></div><div><span>In more recent years, their overseas work was focused primarily on the lands of Russia where they have helped direct the training of worship leaders and musicians for the churches of Eastern Europe. Many of their songs, and their music dramas, Paid In Full and The Christmas Lamb, are being used in churches and theaters of the former Soviet Union where they are proving to be an effective tool in the sharing of the gospel. Ron and Patricia have been a collaborative team for many years. Ron writes most of the poetry for their songs and Patricia writes and arranges the music; however there are occasions when Ron provides some melodic material for their songs and times when Patricia provides some song lyrics. In addition to their collaborative musical efforts, Ron is a published author. He has produced two works on the subject of Worship, written several biographies and is currently working on additional writing projects.</span></div>

Meat lockers, freezers, all were lined in metal and cold as hell, if hell was a frozen wasteland lined with meat. Damn her alpha Royce and his misguided acceptance of everyone. He should have killed Ron, the weasel in wolf’s fur, long ago. But no, he was the alpha’s brother, he just needed understanding, a bit of counseling and massive doses of medication and he’d be fine. Whatever. Yeah, Ron was fine all right, so fine that he had to threaten death to get a female to rut with him. Of course, she hadn’t made it any better by telling him she’d rather die than fuck him. Too bad Ron took her up on her dare. And not one of her pack stepped forward to stop him. The cowards. Then again, Ron always was an idiot.

**_Praise for the books of Steve Neil Johnson:_** **_The Yellow Canary:_** “Terrific…Steve Neil Johnson writes like a _You Are There_ newscaster—breathless, on-the-spot reporting—and paints word images like a Weegee crime photo. His is the voice of a generation of gays who had only just begun, haltingly and courageously, to speak for themselves. Come for the page-turning storytelling, stay for the engrossing journey to a historical era that lies at the roots of modern day liberation. It’s a great book.” --Eric A. Gordon, author of _Mark the Music: The Life and Work of Marc Blitzstein_ “This is a real treat—believable characters who illuminate the dark just before the dawn of gay liberation. A bonus is the richly detailed backdrop of Los Angeles in 1956, including political corruption, real estate scams, Hollywood scandals and organized crime. I’m looking forward to the sequels.” --Peter Cashorali, autho

In making this statement-which I do of my own free will-I wish first to make it perfectly clear that I am not in any way trying to gain sympathy, nor do I expect any mitigation of whatever sentence the Court may pronounce. I am writing this in an attempt to refute some of the lying reports broadcast over the prison radio and published in the papers I have been allowed to see. These have given an entirely false picture of the true cause of our defeat, and as the leader of my race’s armed forces at the cessation of hostilities I feel it my duty to protest against such libels upon those who served under me. I also hope that this statement may explain the reasons for the application I have twice made to the Court, and will now induce it to grant a favor for which I can see no possible grounds of refusal. The ultimate cause of our failure was a simple one: despite all statements to the contrary, it was not due to lack of bravery on the part of our men, or to any fault of the Fleet

Mafia Marriage: My Story

Rosalie Bonanno

Rosalie Profaci's marriage to Bill Bonanno in 1956 united two powerful New York Mafia families. Growing up in a protective cocoon, the bride was ignorant of her heritage--"I did not understand, never had understood, and probably never would"--and this made for a difficult marriage. In this sense, her book resembles Antoinette Giancana's Mafia Princess ( LJ 2/15/84), but the latter provides a better sense of Mafia life as a whole. The venerated "code of silence" means little to the Bonannos: they were the subject of Gay Talese's Honor Thy Father ( LJ 12/1/71), and family head Joe Bonanno wrote A Man of Honor ( LJ 8/83). Amazingly, Rosalie is still Mrs. Bonanno, despite the belief articulated in her brief, earnest, affecting book that Mafia men are "rats." Appropriate for women's studies and organized crime collections.<br /><i>- Gregor A. Preston, Univ. of California Lib., Davis</i><br />Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.

The Horse Mistress: Book 2 (Volume 2)

R A Steffan

R. A. Steffan began writing for pleasure in 2005. After honing her skills for a few years in amateur circles, she eventually transitioned into freelance nonfiction writing and ghostwriting professionally published short fiction. The Queens Musketeers series marked her first foray into both serialized stories and novel-length works. The Horse Mistress series arose from a desire to write something focused more on the developing relationships of the characters. She has found the experience of wrangling more extended and intricate plot linesalong with a larger cast of charactersto be educational, frustrating, and fulfilling by turns. With luck, the end result will prove to be an enjoyable experience for readers. When not writing, the author enjoys reading, horseback riding, walking her dogs, and raising a small backyard flock of ducks.

The revolution in Paravel was a celebration, for most. There’s just a different set of assholes at the top, kicking down the ones below them. And that’s where I am, at the bottom of the pile, and luscious and brazen Lady Aubrey is at the very top. She parades around my stables like she owns the place, wiggling that fine ass in her tight-fitting jodhpurs. It’s not the first time a society girl has thrown herself at me to make Daddy angry, but this is the first one I’ve wanted to catch and toss down in the hay.

First Year Out: A Transition Story

Sabrina Symington

Sabrina Symington's <i>First Year Out</i> is a gorgeous graphic novel about the main character, Lily's, experiences through her transition. It's a warm and moving story, beautifully illustrated, that will resonate with many people. I loved the inclusion of a diverse cast of characters who experienced their gender in different ways, as well as the focus on Lily in particular. It was good to see Lily and her friends answering some of the questions trans people hear a lot, in ways that should be accessible to anyone. This would be a useful book for parents, partners, friends, and colleagues of trans people to read to gain a better understanding. <b>I expect that <i>First Year Out</i> will end up being a good friend to many trans people embarking on their own journeys</b>. Author: Meg-John Barker, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the Open University and Co-author of How to Understand Your Gender<br /><br />I laughed and I cried. I personally identified with many of the situations ... <b>This is not only a great guide for transgender people, but for allies as well.</b> Author: Carla Lewis, Transgender Advocate<br /><br />Sabrina Symington's work is beautiful but she isn't afraid to show the ugly side of transition too, making this a story all trans girls can relate to. Author: Charlie Craggs, Transgender Activist and #1 on The Observer's 2016 New Radicals list<br /><br />

Somebody and the Three Blairs

Marilyn Tolhurst

The three Blairs--humans all--go for a walk, and Somebody--looking mighty like a bear--makes himself right at home in their cozy domicile. In their picture book debut, these collaborators offer a vivacious version of the classic tale. The book's crisp, deceptively simple design features a pleasing symmetry (much of the cheery artwork is arranged in threes on the verso pages) and ample white space. The pink-cheeked Blairs seem delightfully average, with the possible exception of Baby Blair, who has an endearing way of getting to the heart of things. Planning their outing, Baby exclaims, "Feeda ducks"; surveying the post-bruin mess, the wise toddler cries, "Naughty!" (He is the first, in fact, to spot the sleeping intruder: "Issa big teddy bear.") The up-to-date details will provoke chuckles, as when Somebody holds a flexible shower nozzle over his head and realizes, "This rain is too hot." This book, however, is just right. Ages 3-6. <br />Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

ARSOV, would you be a dear and let me steal you for just five minutes?” Lev hadn’t even turned the key in the deadbolt to latch the lock on his apartment door when the building’s manager came up behind him. He swore the old woman, Martha Mae, who looked like a strong gust of wind would make her bones rattle, kept a day planner right beside her door to track his schedule. Because he couldn’t tell her no—the old girl knew it, too. She reminded him of a grandmother he never had, for fuck’s sake. What kind of an asshole would he be to refuse help to a senior citizen managing a sixty-unit building mostly by herself? The actual landlord—a company, not a real person —did very little for the tenants in their part of Harlem despite the fact that the city had been on the company’s ass for a few years now about the heating, lighting, and code is
