Out of Position by Kyell Gold5/24/2023 If only they could stop fighting long enough to break up. Going it alone would make everything easier. And if school is bad, the hyper- masculine world of professional sports that awaits Dev after graduation will be a hundred times worse. As their attraction deepens into romance, it's hard enough for them to handle each other, let alone their inquisitive friends, family, and co-workers. He's a gay fox, an activist who never dreamed he'd fall for a football player. That's as good as it gets - until he meets Lee, a fox with a quick wit and an attractive body. Dev is a football player at Forester University, a small liberal arts college where he and his teammates get to strut around and have their pick of the girls on Friday nights.

After the falls catherine gildiner5/24/2023 He thought I was only a practicing psychologist. My husband was surprised by two things: The first was that I was a writer at all. They often talked about the trauma of the past so I never mentioned what I thought was my idyllic childhood. They had some harrowing experiences during the war and the children know them as their grandparents. His parents live near us in the same city. His family came to North America in the late 50’s when he was a teenager. I also had no idea I had an unusual childhood until readers commented on my ‘strange’ upbringing. They were all shocked and had no idea that I had had a ‘different’ childhood. Have your children read your books? Your husband? What did they think?Įveryone in my family read my first book. I am thrilled to welcome Cathy Gildiner to A Bookworm's World today! I reviewed Cathy's second memoir After the Falls yesterday - loved it - and welcomed the chance to do some Q&A!

The culper ring brad meltzer5/24/2023 And I said what if you found out that George Washington's secret spy ring still existed today? And one of my folks in Homeland Security said to me: What makes you think it doesn't? I went to my National Security folks who helped me with the Red Cell Program. Most people didn't even know who they were for over a hundred years, because they took their secrets to the grave. And the Culper Ring helped Washington move information during the Revolutionary War. He started his secret spy ring, called the Culper Ring. MELTZER: Everything gets me thinking about history and say where else has this happened? Who else taps civilians? And George Washington was the first. INSKEEP: But it got you thinking about history. And, obviously as a novelist, I was just one of those regular citizens who they brought in. And the Red Cell Program brings together out-of-the box thinkers to really look at problems in a very different way. MELTZER: But I was honored to be part of what they called the Red Cell Program. And my first thought was, if they're calling me, we have bigger problems than anybody thinks. BRAD MELTZER (Author, "The Inner Circle"): A few years ago, the Department Homeland Security asked me to come in and brainstorm different ways that terrorists attack the United States. Meltzer says his fictional plot grew out of a real life experience. "The Inner Circle" imagines that the spy ring is passed on from one president to the next. The latest thriller novel from Brad Meltzer supposes that the president of the United States has a private ring of spies. Chaos james gleick review5/24/2023 Another easy example of a chaotic system is the weather – it changes all the time, with no apparent direction. You could say that our lives are like that. The other phrase that comes to mind is «sensitive dependence on initial conditions», which simply means that the outcome of an event is extremely susceptible to the initial circumstances. «Order in chaos» is the appropriate phrase that is repeated throughout the book. Change the parameters only slightly, and the order is revealed. Chaos is not the same thing as randomness it is a special type of randomness. But upon closer inspection, the underlying process is ordered, which makes the result only seem random. If my perception of the book is correct, the concept of Chaos itself, is that at first, an event appears as if it is purely random. I’m going to explain a few things first in this paragraph so you can understand the way the book is written. If you really like the image on the cover, then please do yourself a favour and go and search the internet for the phrase «Mandelbrot set», and you’ll come up with loads of pictures equally as fascinating (and you won’t have to read all those pages!). I found myself wanting more – NOT because it was a good book, but because I knew it was poorly written book on a good subject. This book only touches on what Chaos actually is.

Ship of destiny by robin hobb5/23/2023 Majestic and sweeping, Ship of Destiny concludes the tale of the Vestrit family and their part in the history of The Liveship Traders with a soaring and unforgettable finale to this unique series of epic fantasy. Her short stories have been finalists for both the Hugo and the Nebula awards, as well as winning the Asimov's Readers Award. She is published in English in the US, UK and Australia, and her works have been widely translated. In ruined Bingtown, the citizens are at war, If the city is to survive, Ronica Vestrit must unite all its peoples – both Trader and Tattooed – and liberate the city once and for all.Īlthea and Brashen are finally at sea together, sailing the liveship Paragon into pirate waters in a last-ditch effort to rescue the Vestrit family liveship, Vivacia, stolen by the Pirate king, Kennit but there is mutiny brewing in their rag-tag crew and in the mind of the mad ship itself… Robin Hobb is a New York Times best-selling fantasy author. Against hope, a ship appears in the alien waters, but does it mean rescue, or a further nightmare, for Malta? Meanwhile, Malta Vestrit navigates the acid flow of the Rain Wild River in a decomposing boat, accompanied by the Satrap Cosgo and his Companion Kekki. Here in Ship of Destiny, as Paragon lies in flames and Amber desperately plunges into his mind in an effort to save herself and the crew, one of his dragon-selves taunts her, calling her ‘ little fool ‘ and, at another point, Paragon attempts to reassure her: ‘ You are only one small, short-lived creature. The dragon, Tintaglia, has been released from her wizardwood coffin, only to find that the glories of her kingdom have passed into ancient memory. I didn't think that was possible' George R.R. George romero's land of the dead5/23/2023 Unfortunately, the movie’s uncompromising, now-legendary ending led to its rejection by numerous distributors when Romero and his team refused to change it. “Night” was different, though set in a very recognizable, then-contemporary America, its documentary-style black-and-white images presented characters torn apart as much by internal strife as by the marauding, implacable ghouls. There had been lots of off-Hollywood fright films before “Night” hit screens in 1968, of course-even some showcasing graphic if cheaply executed gore, like the Herschell Gordon Lewis flicks. Indeed, Romero not invented more than a new and enduring kind of zombie movie when he directed “Night of the Living Dead” 50 years ago in many ways, he invented independent horror cinema as we know it. He never abandoned his vision, even when it prevented him from having an easier time of the process, and his movies, once attacked as grotesque exploitation, are now properly celebrated as landmarks of cinematic horror. It took him 20 years to make his way into the big leagues, yet faced frustrating interference once he did. From the beginning, he faced obstacles to getting his vision on screen and condemnation once he succeeded in doing so. This is because one parent at Palm Harbor University High complained. On Tuesday - in the middle of Florida’s Literacy Week, no less - district officials announced they were “erring on the side of caution” due to the novel’s sexual content and dark themes. Supporters of such measures would call it a win against wokeness, increasingly Batman villain code for anything that attempts to recognize the experience of people who aren’t straight and white. “The Bluest Eye,” published in 1970, is the latest casualty in a wave of American anti-intellectualism hitting particularly hard in Florida. It was a wholesome act of rebellion, practically Pollyanna, but it felt tangible, a sliver of dissent in Florida’s sinking bog of critical thought. The next morning, I drove through Dunedin and Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs, sliding the copies into community book boxes. |
