Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lil boy is a heart-warming story of a four-year-old boy who is ripped from his mother, father and brothers at the beginning of the Korean War. Father was drafted into the Army to fight in Korea; mother moved to California to work as a ship builder to support the other children. Mother could not take all the children with her, so I got to stay with my grandparents on a small dirt farm in the Panhandle of Oklahoma, about half way between Ft. Supply and Buffalo. , The winter of 1950 ushered in one of the state’s worse blizzards recorded in that century. Grandmother went to Ft. Supply to live with my uncle and his family until after the blizzard passed. I got to stay with my Granddad on the farm to “help” him feed and care for the cows, horses, pigs, chickens, dogs and other barnyard critters. , The blizzard was a particularly harsh one, leaving snowdrifts six feet high along most hedgerows and fences. Coyotes, which prefer to hunt under the cover of night, were now hunting twenty-four hours a day. It sounded like they were all around us. , When the snow stopped falling, the wind subsided and the sun broke through the clouds, the landscape, draped in nature’s finest dress, was awesome. Coyotes howled in the distance, letting others know they had spotted a food source – our chickens. I was five years old by now and was handy with a single shot rifle. I told Granddad,”If I don’t go out and scare off those coyotes, they are going to get inside the chicken house and eat all the chickens.” He didn’t say anything because he knew I was right. I began working him with my vivid imagery of feathers, guts and broken eggs they would leave behind. , Finally, he asked, “How do you intend to scare them away?” “With the rifle,” I said. , He looked at me for awhile, then said "go get dressed in you long-handles, flannel shirt, pants and coveralls. Make sure to bring your heaviest coat and gloves. , When I was fully dressed, I ran to him and said “Granddad, I’m ready. Can I go now?” , He replied, “You’ll need this rifle and a box of shells,” as he handed me the gun. I smiled so wide I thought my face would crack. After all the obligatory warnings, I set off to the south where I last heard the coyotes. I headed directly towards a thicket of current bushes. Sure enough, their tracks were everywhere. I still didn’t see them, so I crawled under the thicket where I spotted three small coyote pups playfully wrestling one another. With a six-foot long stick, I entered the game along with them. After a little teasing, they stopped wresting each other and attack my stick, breaking it into four pieces. They pretended the stick was a snake, picking it up, biting on it, and flipping it around in the air with their mouth. , At last, their parents called them and they all left the thicket heading east towards “Coyote Mound”, a known area for coyote dens. I followed them to the mound and spotted them directly in front of me. They were walking single file—I was the last in the file. I put a shell in my rifle and cocked the gun. By then they had disappeared. The next time I saw them, they were behind me. They’d out-lapped me by one full lap. The pursuer now became the pursued. I stopped, pointed the gun well over their heads and fired a shot. That stopped them in their tracks. I loaded again just in case they came after me. The three pups moved towards me, but the elders laid down either for their morning nap or to soak up the sun. , As I watched the three pups, I realized they were just like dog puppies. There is no way I could ever hurt a puppy, dog or coyote. I stood there admiring them for awhile and took off running toward our house, yelling all the way that I had shot one. Of course, Granddad knew better, but he went along. I’ve never hunted coyotes since that day. ,

Download or read book Flashback written by Gregory Stanley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 12, 1991, all the schools in the small town of Monroe, Georgia were the targets of simultaneous terrorist attacks. Over 40 people were killed. Yet the high school suffered no casualties thanks to the actions of the students’ favorite teacher, Daniel Tillman, who single-handedly dispatched the attackers. After the attacks, word begins leaking out that Tillman had spent seven years in Vietnam as part of the ultra-secret SOG Special Forces team. The teachers, administration, and some townspeople demand his dismissal because they no longer “feel comfortable” around him. The story focuses on how he is prodded into fighting for his future and how, along the way, he comes to terms with his past. He is aided and sustained by the love and support of his students, the advice of an aged uncle, the interventions of a pesky CNN reporter, and the help of one of the state’s most powerful politicians who has vivid memories of the teacher from twenty years earlier.

Or at least I think I do. My memory's filled with black holes. Why can’t I remember my childhood or the parents who raised me? How did I end up in this random small town, and why can’t I remember what happened five minutes ago? I somehow end up on a road trip with Neptune, a girl who I barely even know. She ditches me in a small town called Silver Springs with no money, no phone, and no way to get home. So I need to find her. Stat. What I find instead is a wart on the tip of my nose. How did that get there? It’s no wonder the three Hotter than the Sun men I meet don’t seem to realize I exist. ★ Ernest, who owns an anti-romance bookstore, is more interested in reading. ★ Stefano, the doctor who claims he’s in the mafia, says he doesn’t date patients. News flash: this wart isn’t going to fix itself. ★ And Chett, the famous guitarist for Not a Vampire, has a son who seems to hate me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Felicity Winters, a life of excitement and passion is overrated. Her small-town, mundane existence is enough--at least, that's what she tells herself. But in her heart of hearts, she longs to trade her spot at the supermarket checkout lane for soil samples and a shovel about a thousand and one miles away. But as her ailing father's caretaker, Felicity's dreams of adventure, love, and greater purpose seem just out of reach. That is, until an unlikely twist of circumstances lands her face-to-face with spontaneous, chivalrous, and irresistible (albeit disenchanted) movie star Hale Monroe. In the wake of his desperate escape from the world of materialism, Felicity's unassuming kindness and selflessness draw Hale into a life he never thought possible. Suddenly, Hale finds himself inexplicably connected to the quirky yet lovable community who refuses to give up on him. Through a whirlwind of small-town shenanigans, Felicity and Hale find their lives becoming more and more closely intertwined. But when an old flame threatens to reignite the past, will the connection between Hale and Felicity grow cold? Can Felicity overcome the ghosts of her past and embrace her God-given purpose?

Download or read book Victorian Fairy Tales written by Michael Newton and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorian fascination with fairyland is reflected in the literature of the period, which includes some of the most imaginative fairy tales ever written. They offer the shortest path to the age's dreams, desires, and wishes. Authors central to the nineteenth-century canon such as Thackeray, Oscar Wilde, Ford Madox Ford, and Rudyard Kipling wrote fairy tales, and authors primarily famous for their work in the genre include George MacDonald, Juliana Ewing, Mary De Morgan, and Andrew Lang. This anthology brings together fourteen of the best stories, by these and other outstanding practitioners, to show the vibrancy and variety of the form and its ability to reflect our deepest concerns. The stories in this selection range from pure whimsy and romance to witty satire and darker, uncanny mystery. Paradox proves central to a form offered equally to children and adults. Fairyland is a dynamic and beguiling place, one that permits the most striking explorations of gender, suffering, love, family, and the travails of identity. Michael Newton's introduction and notes explore the literary marketplace in which these tales appeared, as well as the role they played in contemporary debates on scepticism and belief. The book also includes a selection of original illustrations by some of the masters of the field such as Richard Doyle, Arthur Hughes, and Walter Crane.
