Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising and inspiring story of Mike Munro – from a heartbreaking childhood to longed-for family happiness far from the demands of fame. Mum was always telling me: 'You’ll never amount to anything because you’re nothing but a pasty-faced nothing.’...I think it’s one of the reasons I’ve worked so hard – I was determined to prove to Mum and myself that I could do something with my life, that I wasn’t really a "nothing".’ To follow Mike Munro’s stellar career from star reporter on ‘60 Minutes’ to host of top-rating shows ‘A Current Affair’ and ‘This is Your Life’, you could be forgiven for thinking he always had it easy. But his journey to the top began a long way down. Raised by an alcoholic single mother who often turned against him in rage and drink, Mike learned from an early age to overcome adversity, believe in himself and make the most of what he had. An extraordinary story of hardship, determination, but most of all love and family, Mike Munro: A Pasty-Faced Nothing will often surprise – and always inspire.

Download or read book Flash Virus Omnibus written by Steve Vernon and published by Stark Raven Press. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So what is it about? This is the story of the end of the world - as told by a teenager. "So as near as I could tell the end of the world began roughly about the time that Billy Carver’s butt rang - about halfway through the War of 1812." Sixteen year old Briar Gamble is having a bad day. It started with the cell phones singing for Santa Claus. Then came the tanks and the storm troopers. The Black Masks, in their black fish bowl sunglasses. And then along came Captain Albino. That's how it all started back in October 2012 when I released the FIRST episode of FLASH VIRUS. What you are looking at now is the first FIVE episodes of FLASH VIRUS - and the first full length novel in the series. SO - in all honesty – if you have already read those first five episodes of FLASH VIRUS you can probably get away with not purchasing this volume. But, if you haven’t read those first five episodes – then what are you waiting for? Santa Claus?

Download or read book The Clock Struck Murder written by Betty Webb and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One woman's trash is another woman's--lost Chagall masterpiece?!? Expat Zoe Barlow has settled well into her artist's life among the Lost Generation in 1920s Paris. When a too-tipsy guest at her weekly poker game breaks Zoe's favorite clock, she's off to a Montparnasse flea market to bargain with the vendor Laurette for a replacement. What Zoe didn't bargain for was the lost Chagall painting that's been used like a rag to wrap her purchases! Eager to learn whether Laurette has more Chagalls lying about like trash, Zoe sets off to track her down at her storage shed. With no Laurette in sight, Zoe snoops around and indeed finds several additional Chagalls—and then she finds Laurette herself, dead beneath a scrap heap, her beautiful face bashed in. With Paris hosting the 1924 Summer Olympics, the police are far too busy with tourist-related crimes to devote much time to the clock seller's murder. After returning the paintings to a grateful Marc Chagall, Zoe begins her own investigation. Did the stolen paintings play any part in the brutal killing? Or was it a crime of passion? Zoe soon discovers that there were many people who had reason to resent the lovely Laurette. But who hated the girl enough to stop her clock permanently? When Zoe discovers a second murder victim, the pressure is on to find the killer before time—and luck—run out.

Download or read book Tommy And Grizel written by James M. Barrie and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel to be liked, or resented, as you will, but not to be ignored. When "Sentimental Tommy" closed with two remarkable children just entering upon maturity, this sequel was foreshadowed. The scenes are in London and in Thrums; but the most critical incident happens on the Continent. The pith of it is the interior life of emotion in two characters, — a woman with the straightforward, independent spirit of a man, but with a genius for loving, and a chameleon-like man. This emotional relationship implies tragedy. But sweeter tragedy has seldom been written. Mr. Barrie's satisfying style and delicate humor throw rosy gleams even in the darkest places of the story.
