Book excerpt: In The Adventures of Mom, we meet the lovable Natalie Quill-mom, would-be famous writer, and overzealous supersleuth. The thirty-eight-year-old worries she's done nothing remarkable with her life. She's a decent wife and mother, but that's not enough for this feisty homemaker with a big mouth and a knack for getting into trouble. After Natalie decides the only solution to her drab life is to become a mystery writer, she needs inspiration for her work and blackmails her slimy halfbrother into a job at his private investigation office. Soon, Natalie's life is upended as her new career turns into much more than she bargained for. In her own delightful direct manner, Natalie charges through her first cases, including the disappearance of her neighbor's amorous dachshund, the mystery of a United States Senator's missing daughter, and the entrapment of a cheating husband. But Natalie learns that private-eye work is actually a dangerous business. Natalie's loudmouthed attitude is nearly silenced when one case turns into a potentially deadly encounter. Could this be the end of Natalie Quill, or will she live to write her bestseller after all?

Book excerpt: In posh Laguna Beach, murder has gone to the dogs. When Caro Lamont, former psychologist turned pet therapist makes a house call to help Kevin Blackstone with his two misbehaving German Shepherd dogs, she expects frantic dogs, she expects a frantic dog owner, she even expects frantic neighbors. What she doesn't expect is that two hours later the police will find Kevin dead, his dogs impounded; and that as the last person to see Kevin alive (well, except for the killer) she is suddenly a person of interest, at least according to Homicide Detective Judd Malone. Sparkle Abbey is the pseudonym of two mystery authors (Mary Lee Woods and Anita Carter). They are friends and neighbors as well as co-writers of the Pampered Pets Mystery Series. The pen name was created by combining the names of their rescue pets - Sparkle (Mary Lee's cat) and Abbey (Anita's dog). They reside in central Iowa, but if they could write anywhere, you would find them on the beach with their laptops and depending on the time of day either an iced tea or a margarita.)

Download or read book To the Lighthouse written by Virginia Woolf and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the shadow of World War I, the Ramsay family gathers at their summer home in Scotland, anticipating a long-delayed trip to the nearby lighthouse. Mrs. Ramsay, the matriarch of the family, navigates the tensions and dynamics between her husband, the philosophical Mr. Ramsay, and their children, while orchestrating social interactions among their guests. The family's plans for the lighthouse are repeatedly thwarted by circumstances and the passage of time, leading to unresolved tensions and unfulfilled expectations. Published in 1927, To the Lighthouse is hailed as one of Virginia Woolf's most iconic works, exemplifying her mastery of stream-of-consciousness narrative and exploration of subjective experience. The novel's experimental structure and lyrical prose challenged conventional literary forms, influencing generations of writers and critics alike and becoming a cornerstone of modernist literature. VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.

Download or read book The Waves To the Lighthouse written by Virginia Woolf and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "The Waves & To the Lighthouse" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "To the Lighthouse" – The Ramsey family arrives to their summer house in the Hebrides, on the Isle of Sky in Scotland. They plan to visit the island's lighthouse one day, but the weather doesn't allow them and that creates some tension between family members. As the Ramsays have been joined at the house by a number of friends and colleagues, the trip to the lighthouse doesn't happen. Passing of the time brings death and grief to the Ramsey family, but the tension is still there. "The Waves" consists of soliloquies spoken by six characters: Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis. Also important is Percival, the seventh character, though we never hear him speak in his own voice. The soliloquies that span the characters' lives are broken up by nine brief third-person interludes detailing a coastal scene at varying stages in a day from sunrise to sunset. As the six characters or "voices" speak Woolf explores concepts of individuality, self and community. Each character is distinct, yet together they compose a gestalt about a silent central consciousness.

Download or read book Exploring Text Media and Memory written by Patrizia Lombardo and published by Aarhus Universitetsforlag. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Text, Media and Memory investigates the link between memory and media by asking a series of questions pertinent to our time: How do individual and collective memories blend? How do traumatic experiences from past events and catastrophic projections of the future reveal the human condition in the epoch of frenetic technological reproduction of works of art? How is the human body tied to narrations - and why? A group of international scholars tackle questions like these across art forms, media, and cultural history. In nineteen essays they argue that modern and contemporary literary texts and visual arts show how photography, film, tape recording, television, and internet are not just means of storing memory and information, but objects that we interact with every day - challenging static visions of places and the linear notions of past, present and future.
