Download or read book Haunted Heart written by Lisa Rogak and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at the life of the author who created such modern classics as Carrie, IT, and The Shining. One of the most prolific and popular authors in the world today, Stephen King has become part of pop culture history. But who is the man behind those tales of horror, grief, and the supernatural? Where do these ideas come from? And what drives him to keep writing at a breakneck pace after a thirty year career? In this unauthorized biography, Lisa Rogak reveals the troubled background and lifelong fears that inspire one of the twentieth century's most influential authors. King's origins were inauspicious at best. His impoverished childhood in rural Maine and early marriage hardly spelled out the likelihood of a blossoming literary career. But his unflagging work ethic and a ceaseless flow of ideas put him on the path to success. It came in a flash, and the side effects of sudden stardom and seemingly unlimited wealth soon threatened to destroy his work and, worse, his life. But he survived and has since continued to write at a level of originality few authors could ever hope to match. Despite his dark and disturbing work, Stephen King has become revered by critics and his countless fans as an all-American voice more akin to Mark Twain than H. P. Lovecraft. Haunted Heart chronicles his story, revealing the character of a man who has created some of the most memorable---and frightening---stories found in literature today. Stephen King on Stephen King: "I'm afraid of everything." "As a kid, I worried about my sanity a lot." "I am always interested in this idea that a lot of fiction writers write for their fathers because their fathers are gone." "Writing is an addiction for me." "I married her for her body, though she said I married her for her typewriter." "When you get into this business, they don't tell you you'll get cat bones in the mail." "You have to be a little nuts to be a writer." "There's always the urge to see somebody dead that isn't you."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2019 RITA® Award Finalist for Paranormal Romance, A 2020 BookLife Prize Semi-Finalist Callie is thrilled when she inherits a house in the small town of Shadow Valley. The house is old and creaky, but she’s not afraid of hard work. Unfortunately, no matter how many repairs she makes, the strange noises won’t go away. Cold spots appear. Lights flicker. Footsteps sound down the hallway. Her nerves are soon so frayed that she resorts to calling the one person in town she hasn’t been able to get along with, bullheaded police chief Carter Landry. Carter doesn’t have time to investigate things that go bump in the night—although, with Callie, the idea is tempting. He’s busy dealing with a rash of petty Halloween crimes. He knows that Callie’s house isn’t haunted… no matter what town legend says. Still, when her distress call comes in, Carter is quick to respond. He may not believe in ghosts, but someone is intentionally scaring the sassy blonde, and he doesn’t like it. As he investigates, the friction between the two of them ignites into passion… and the strange occurrences in the house subside. But could Carter’s presence be the reason? Callie fears that her sexy cop may be the one the ghost has wanted all along.

When she arrives at the hall, shaken by an unsettling disturbance that occurred during her travels, she is greeted by the two children now in her care, Isabella and Eustace. There is no adult present to represent her mysterious employer, and the children offer no explanation. Later that night in her room, another terrifying experience further reinforces the sense that something is very wrong. From the moment Eliza rises the following morning, her every step seems dogged by a malign presence that lives within Gaudlin’s walls. Eliza realizes that if she and the children are to survive its violent attentions, she must first uncover the hall’s long-buried secrets and confront the demons of its past. Clever, captivating, and witty, This House Is Haunted is pure entertainment with a catch.

It wasn’t my first idea, originally I wanted to be an archeologist specializing in Egyptology when I was in middle school I studied everything I could about the culture the history and even how to read hieroglyphs but for all my studies and hard work fate had a twist to throw into my well planned life, I developed seizures at the age of 14 which got worse when I turned 15. I was shaken to the core when my doctor said that I would have to change my dream because my medication would be unavailable where I wanted to attend college in three years. I started going to the school library and reading Edgar Allen Poe and all mythologies that I could get my hands on. Even after all my seizures I can still remember my love for myth and legends even if the rest should come back in pieces like a puzzle. I took a creative writing course in high school and that is when I found that I have a true spark for writing poetry. watched many friends graduate including my high school sweetheart but I kept working for my diploma until I received it in 2004. Now though my seizures are not controlled and none of my doctors know what causes them I write to keep the worries at bay and because I love to write. If you are going through the same thing or just a health issue that you don’t know how to cope with you just need to focus and remember even the small dreams come true if you help them.
