Download or read book Ghostly Interlude written by Stacy McKitrick and published by Stacy McKitrick. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maggie Russell—legal assistant by day, horror writer by night—gets the scare of her life when she wakes up in a strange café without any idea of how she got there. But if she tells anyone about her sleepwalking escapades, she could lose her grandmother’s house, and she’d fought so hard to keep it. Dean Parker is a private investigator whose office is next door to Maggie’s law firm. He’s been eyeing the pretty brunette ever since she started working there, but getting involved with anyone isn’t in his game plan. When he finds out she’s been having sleeping problems, he suspects her money-grubbing cousin is involved. Instead, he discovers something worse: a ghost is living with Maggie and it appears another may be possessing her. Dean is determined to help Maggie rid her home of the uninvited guests. He just never figured his attraction to her would be reciprocated. Keeping his distance is no longer an option, though. If he fails, Maggie could very well be possessed forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buffaloes and oxen normally do not lock horns. What would be the outcome if they do? The contest would be a short-lived affair resulting in the victory of the stronger buffalo. This popular notion is challenged by a feeble male calf on the verge of death. Under the loving care of a cattle-loving household, the calf grows into a beautiful and strong ox. He takes on several hitherto unbeaten heroes to become the undisputed champion among the oxen of the locality. He then dares to challenge the supremacy of a buffalo. Will the ox merge victorious in this contest? Ayyappankutty, a tame elephant gone berserk, becomes a threat to life and property in the hamlet of Thottuva. He wreaks havoc on the south bank of the river Periyar in Kerala for nearly a week. The Travancore Maharaja deputes his sharp-shooting police officer to account for the menacing beast. A diminutive mahout has a different plan. Both converge in Thottuva on the same day. Will Ayyappankutty fall to the bullets of Veeran Mudaliar? Will the courageous mahout bring him into submission and save his life? River Periyar’s magnificent sandbank in Thottuva is ravaged by the sand mining unions with the government agencies remaining mute spectators. Rivalry among the unions affects normal life. While the riverbed sinks by several metres due to both lawful and unlawful sand mining, the vice of liquor addiction overpowers several young men, disrupting their family life. The protagonist, Jivan, a silent and innocent teetotaller, gradually takes to drinking with very dangerous consequences!
Download or read book Once Upon a Time Lord written by Ivan Phillips and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Every story ever told really happened...' (The Doctor, 'Hell Bent', 2015) Stories are, fundamentally what Doctor Who is all about. In Once Upon a Time Lord, Ivan Phillips explores a wide range of perspectives on these stories and presents a lively and richly-varied analysis of the accumulated tales that constitute this popular modern mythology. Concerned equally with 'classic' and 'new' Who, Phillips looks at how aspects of the Time Lord's story have been developed on television and beyond, tracing lines of connection and divergence across various media. He discusses Doctor Who as a mythology that has drawn on its own past in often complex ways, at the same time reworking elements from many other sources, whether literary, cinematic, televisual or historical. Once Upon A Time Lord offers an original take on this singular hero's journey, reading the unsettled enigma of the Doctor in relation to the characters, narratives and locations that he has encountered across more than half a century.
