Download or read book Beyond the Fault Line written by Niki K. Taylor and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I made my way to his very private booth when this gorgeous young thing ran right into me. She looked up at me and said in a very drunken slur, "Hi, my name is Polly Anne, and I'm looking for a date." She giggled. I laughed and told her she'd better be careful. "You never know who is lurking in this bar waiting to hurt you," and I moved on to Bob, thinking, Damn, that could have been my chance, and Bob blew it for me. Oh well, I can always try the next one. Bob told me what he has been up to all these years--Southern California University on a scholarship, got his law degree, and became the sheriff of Pasadena County. Now it's up to me to tell him what I have been up to. Do I tell him about all the murders? No, I shall not tell him about that. I guess I need to tell him about the college days and why I am just now getting back home. So I told him, "I went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Cambridge in Boston and got my PhD in rocket science and trajectory, and I just got hired at NASA, working in the science labs, building the rockets for the Mars rover. I guess I'm glad Mother pushed me into going to Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After all, I didn't think I was smart enough to be there, but I guess I was since I earned my PhD, but now I can't get her to shut up about it. I need to find my own place soon before she drives me nuts. God forbid I had failed--she would have killed me." Bob laughed at that and said, "Yeah, I remember how your mother was, a little crazy. My mom wanted me to be an attorney, and now look at me, ha ha, I'm a cop, and, boy, was she pissed off when I came home and told her I was in the academy, but she finally calmed down and started talking to me, and now she sees how happy I am in my job." "Ha ha, not my mom. She will never be happy unless I'm doing something more important than my dad. I swear she hates him. God only knows why. I think she wants to embarrass him at NASA, but I really don't think it bothers him. He's more proud than embarrassed. It surely backfired on her because Dad is now the cock of the walk over there at NASA, in the janitor's department. None of them can believe he has a kid that has his PhD as a rocket scientist. Dad walks around with his chest puffed out, all pleased as punch. We talked a bit more when I excused myself and told him that I have an appointment with a guy who's renting a house. Boy! I sure need to get away from my mother's house before I kill her. Ha ha." "Ten-four, William. Just don't break any laws getting there. Ha ha." "Not a chance, Bob."
Download or read book A Window Across the River written by Brian Morton and published by HMH. This book was released on 2004-09-07 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A writer is caught between her calling and the man she loves in this “joyous, funny and bittersweet” novel (Newsday). Isaac and Nora haven’t seen each other in five years, yet when Nora phones Isaac late one night, he knows who it is before she’s spoken a word. Isaac, a photographer, is relinquishing his artistic career, while Nora, a writer, is seeking to rededicate herself to hers. Fueled by their rediscovered love, Nora is soon on fire with the best work she’s ever done, until she realizes that the story she's writing has turned into a fictionalized portrait of Isaac, exposing his frailties and compromises and sure to be viewed by him as a betrayal. How do we remain faithful to our calling if it estranges us from the people we love? How do we remain in love after we have seen the very worst of our loved ones? These are some of the questions explored in a novel that critics are calling “an absolute pleasure” (The Seattle Times). From the author of Florence Gordon and Starting Out in the Evening, this is a “novel of two star-crossed but self-absorbed artists facing crises of the heart and conscience. . . . An intriguing look at the nature of love and the need for acceptance” (Booklist). “I loved this book.” —Alice Sebold
Download or read book Not the Girl Next Door written by Charlotte Chandler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Charlotte Chandler did so well in her previous biographies, she will again draw on the recorded words of Joan Crawford and those who knew her well to paint a rich portrait of the woman and the star. Joan Crawford was born Lucille LeSueur in Texas in 1908. She became a chorus girl in silent films before finding her voice in Possessed(1931) with Clark Gable. Their affair would continue, on and off screen, for many years. Throughout the thirties, Joan continued to earn critical acclaim for her forte of playing career women who never gave up. Her Oscar-winning film Mildred Piercein 1945 began the long-running feud between Joan and Bette Davis, which reached its height with Whatever Happened to Baby Janein 1962. Joan was married four times including once to Douglas Fairbanks Jr, who spoke extensively to Charlotte Chandler for this book. Following her death, Joan's decision to cut her eldest children out of her will prompted her daughter Christina to write the damning bookMommie Dearest which changed Joan's image forever. Charlotte Chandler spent many hours recording interviews with Joan and also those closest to her. What emerges is a subtle portrait of a complex women and a new insight into the legendary actress.
Download or read book Green Day written by William. E Spevack and published by Sonicbond Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green Day are one of rock history’s greatest and most successful bands. Singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool have been together creating rock music with a punk heart for over three decades. The trio has reigned supreme, shattering previously conceived notions of how commercially successful a punk rock band can be, by helping extend the boundaries of the genre by adding excellent pop/rock songwriting. Green Day harnessed alternative music’s creativity with a passion and fire that ignited two of rock’s best albums, the influential Dookie, which sold 20 million copies, and the culturally important rock opera American Idiot, which sold 16 million and went on to become a Broadway show. In their 30-plus years, Green Day revolutionized rock musically and lyrically, inspiring countless bands. During the 1990s, they lead the pop-punk charge, and in the 2000s, they inspired a second generation of fans and bands through a lyrically intelligent and musically complex style of hard rock. Green Day: On Track takes a journey through the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame band’s career, analyzing every album and song in their remarkable catalogue. William E. Spevack has been published in the magazines Laptop, CPU, and PC Upgrade as well as the music website AlternativeNation.net. His first book, Keep On Shining: A Guide Through the Music of Love & Arthur Lee, was published in December 2021. He is a Bard graduate and a passionate music fan, who enjoys writing about music, playing sports, playing keyboards and reading music history books that focus on the music specifically. He lives in New York City.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First in the Texas series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. “One of those rare books, the kind the reader doesn’t want to end.” —Green Bay Press Gazette Young Billie Ames was naive but a real knockout when she met Moss Coleman at the Philadelphia Navy Yard during World War II. Within a few months she was pregnant and married to him. It was a marriage that brought Billie—and her mother, Agnes—across the country to Austin, to a 250,000-acre spread called Sunbridge, and into the world of the Texas rich. Billie works to acclimate to Texas and her new home at Sunbridge, her role as Moss’ wife, and the challenges she faces from her social-climbing mother, her gruff and demanding father-in-law, and the events of the world around her. We see Billie grow stronger in heart, mind, and belief as her children are born, her marriage to Moss changes, and she comes into her own as a Coleman—and a woman in her own right. “A big, rich book in every way . . . I think Fern Michaels has struck oil with this one.” —Patricia Matthews “A steaming, sprawling saga . . . As always, Fern Michaels writes a full story with bigger-than-life characters we would look forward to meeting.” —Romantic Times “Fine fare for Fern Michaels’s fans!” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

Book excerpt: The opening of a new motel in rural Oklahoma coincides with the disappearance of a local girl. An offhanded joke becomes a rumor and permanently links the event with the motel's reputation. The discovery of several bodies and one survivor in an abandoned bomb shelter proves to be a full-time challenge to the obnoxious new sheriff and his deputies. Their search for the killer(s) takes them across the state and rustles up a host of suspects, who eventually reunite in an unusual and unexpected way. The scope of the crimes grows and spreads, until the perpetrators run out of resources, both human and otherwise, for they are all eventually consumed. Forensics, sporadic witness accounts, good police work, hunches, and mistakes by the "untouchable" evildoer(s) eventually pile up to bring a violent end to one of the perps and the incarceration of...the rest. What begins as a father's disappointment snowballs into a life that bends rules, family loyalties, and genders as the struggle to please a parent morphs into a deviant and deadly lifestyle.
