Book excerpt: When Thea was finally moving into her dream apartment, liking her job just enough to not want to quit every other week and finally getting a grip on the whole 'adulting' deal, the universe throws her a curveball in the shape of Seb. The same Seb she spent every waking moment with in university. Who knew her smallest insecurities and was her biggest cheerleader. Who carried the mantle of being Thea's best friend. Well, estranged best friend. Went-MIA-without-a- trace-the-day-after-graduation best friend. And now out of the blue, he is her next-door neighbour. And her new client at work. And suddenly it feels like they are thrust back into the past. But it's not as easy, treading the path between knowing each other like the back of their hands and being complete strangers. Getting on the other's nerves, if not at their necks, but getting nervous every time they cross paths. Not seeing eye to eye, except for the stolen glances neither of them notices. What happens when they stop orbiting one another and finally collide?

Download or read book Catch Phrases Cliches and Idioms written by and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catch phrases such as "shop till you drop," cliches like "life begins at forty" and idioms such as "talk the hind leg off a donkey" have long enriched the English language. Here is a collection of thousands of familiar expressions--a treasure trove of idea-starters and memory-joggers that will make for more imaginative creative writing. An advertising copywriter working on a campaign for, say, a granola-peanut product can easily find the instantly-recognizable phrase "Energy Crunch"--a clever and informative headline. Each phrase is cross-referenced by key word. Thus "raining cats and dogs," for example, appears under "cat," "dog" and "rain." In most cases, various forms of the word are listed under the root word. So under "run" you will find not only sayings that include the word "run," but those that include "running," "runneth," "runner" and "run-around."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Are Friends For? is the sequel to Bogie’s Rules. The story follows Zachariah T. Bogan, an itinerant surf lifeguard, who wanders from beach job to beach job in the late 1940s and ‘50s. Although a fictional character, “Bogie” represents the real men who worked East Coast beaches in the summer and Southern beaches in the winter in the “good old days.” Bogie finds himself in Florida working for the Ft. Lauderdale Beach Patrol during the winter season. His personal philosophy of life involves him in an adventure he would never have believed possible. Bogie meets and falls for a beautiful, smart, and wealthy businesswoman from Washington, D.C. When she disappears, Bogie enlists his brother and his friends, who all have military experience and are trained in subversive combat tactics. The clues lead the group to beaches that span South Florida to a remote island in the South Atlantic, and surprisingly into the world of Russian human trafficking. The group faces continual danger, only to find that all the loyalty and training in the world couldn’t prepare them for the book’s stunning conclusion.

Download or read book My Autobiography written by Charlie Chaplin and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2012-12-26 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of the silent film and comedy icon, in his own words—“the best autobiography every ever written by an actor . . . an astonishing work” (Chicago Tribune) Take an unforgettable journey with the man George Bernard Shaw called “the only genius to come out of the movie industry” as he moves from his impoverished South London childhood to the heights of Hollywood wealth and fame; from the McCarthy-era investigations to his founding of United Artists to his “reverse migration” back to Europe. Charlie Chaplin’s heartfelt and hilarious autobiography—one of the very first celebrity memoirs—tells the story of his life, showcasing all the charms, peculiarities and deeply-held beliefs that made him such an endearing and lasting character. Re-issued as part of Melville House’s Neversink Library, My Autobiography offers dedicated Chaplin fans and casual admirers alike an astonishing glimpse into the heart and the mind of Hollywood’s original genius maverick.
Download or read book Chaplin s Music Hall written by Barry Anthony and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie Chaplin grew up in and around the music hall. His parents, aunt and their friends all earned their precarious livings on the stage and Chaplin himself started out his career touring music halls with a dance troupe. His experiences of the culture of the music hall were a major influence, shaping his style of acting and the films he made, most famously Limelight, which tells the story of a failing variety performer and which evoked painful memories of his own past. Chaplin was horrified to see how performers' lives were ruined when their audience turned against them and he was relieved to exchange the stresses of live performance for screen comedy. Barry Anthony here tells the story of the lives and careers of Chaplin's family and their music-hall circle - from 'dashing' Eva Lester to the great Fred Karno and from Chaplin's parents Hannah Hill and Charles Chaplin to 'The Great Calvero' himself. He reveals the difficult and often-tragic lives of London's variety community in the late-Victorian and Edwardian years, a time of great change in the music hall and entertainment scene, and in doing so sheds important new light on the inspiration behind Chaplin's genius, providing a fascinatingly fresh perspective on this popular cultural icon of the twentieth century.
Download or read book The Nation s Capital Brewmaster written by Mark Elliott Benbow and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Heurich (1842-1945) was not only Washington D.C.'s most successful brewer, he was the world's oldest, with 90 years' experience. He walked across central Europe learning his craft, survived a shipboard cholera epidemic, recovered from malaria and worked as a roustabout on a Caribbean banana boat--all by age 30. Heurich lived most of his life in Washington, becoming its largest private landowner and opening the city's largest brewery. He won a "beer war" against his rivals and his beers won medals at World's Fairs. He was trapped in Europe while on vacation at the start of both World Wars, once sleeping through an air raid, and was accused of being a German spy plotting to assassinate Woodrow Wilson. A notably odd episode: when they began to tear down his old brewery to build the Kennedy Center, the wrecking ball bounced off the walls. Drawing on family papers and photos, the author chronicles Heurich's life and the evolving beer industry before and after Prohibition.

Book excerpt: You can pay a terrible price for keeping a promise… Evelyn Taylor-Clarke sits in her chair at Forest Lawns Care Home in the heart of the English countryside, surrounded by residents with minds not as sharp as hers. It would be easy to dismiss Evelyn as a muddled old woman, but her lipstick is applied perfectly, and her buttons done up correctly. Because Evelyn is a woman with secrets and Evelyn remembers everything. She can never forget the promise she made to the love of her life, to discover the truth about the mission that led to his death, no matter what it cost her… When Evelyn’s niece Pat opens an old biscuit tin to find a photo of a small girl with a red ball entitled ‘Liese, 1951’ and a passport in another name, she has some questions for her aunt. And Evelyn is transported back to a place in Germany known as ‘The Forbidden Village,’ where a woman who called herself Eva went where no one else dared, amongst shivering prisoners, to find the man who gambled with her husband’s life… A gripping, haunting and compelling read about love, courage and betrayal set in the war-battered landscape of Germany.

The author has successfully penned a debut novel that I would highly recommend without any hesitation. An excellent debut novel from Suzanne Goldring and I look forward to reading more of her work.

I am excited to read all of Goldring's works! This is the first book of hers I've read, and it won't be the last!’ The Book Distiller, 5 stars ‘This novel had me hooked from the very first page! I always enjoy delving into historical fiction novels and My Name is Eva is the perfect example of why! This riveting book time hops between the 1940’s, 1980’s and present day (2016) to tell the tale of Evelyn Taylor-Clarke’s life. Suzanne Goldring does a fantastic job with the pacing of this novel, I sometimes find historical fictions can get a little dry, but there wasn’t any parts that I felt lagged—love that! The storyline was incredibly moving and depth filled! Evelyn is a character that will definitely stay with me!’ Steph and Chris’s Book Review, 5 stars
