Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amber, the middle of the five Dylan siblings, is special. When she was a baby, her older sister, Paige, a college freshman, used to read baby Amber bedtime stories. She always changed the tales into "Princess Amber" adventures. Now, even their father has started calling his "difficult" daughter "Princess," although usually sarcastically when they're arguing, like the time she came down to breakfast with a sprained ankle and refused to explain what happened. But then, how could she - when she sprained it when she was standing on the high battlements at Camelot waving her fist at an invading army and King Arthur grabbed her wrist and yanked her down when they started shooting arrows at her? Something, somewhere along the line, made Princess Amber's adventures real. The siblings would go to sleep one evening or another and find themselves somewhere else, somewhere real enough they came home with scars, came home after the princess dealt with whatever quest she was on and they woke up in their own beds. And then one day after dinner, when they are wide awake, they are snatched out of their home and dropped in a very gray very lifeless place near some ancient Egyptian ruins in absolute lifeless silence without even an insect ... but, surprise, with Paige's English professor and a guy classmate from college who's been trying to get a date with Paige. There's one other person, too - a crying little girl. She's not really there, though, wherever there is. They see her, but they can't hear her and their hands go right through her. "Have Amber - Will Travel" is a fun, family, fantasy quest adventure through a dark and deadly ancient underworld. There's action, adventure, magic, some laughs and a little romance. This tale is suitable for all ages.

Download or read book Any Man written by Amber Tamblyn and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An explosive, shapeshifting piece of literary real estate, Amber Tamblyn’s arresting debut offers a scathing portrait of American celebrity culture and the way in which it transmutes human tragedy into a vicious circus; victims are forgotten as likes and shares swirl, and ‘news’ becomes a squalid orgy, a lurid feast. Tamblyn takes every risk in this astonishing and innovative work, and succeeds, gloriously.” — Janet Fitch, bestselling author of The Revolution of Marina M. and Paint It Black Vanity Fair's Summer Ultimate Fiction List Entertainment Weekly Summer Preview List In this electric and provocative debut novel, Tamblyn blends genres of poetry, prose, and elements of suspense to give shape to the shocking narratives of victims of sexual violence, mapping the destructive ways in which our society perpetuates rape culture. A violent serial rapist is on the loose, who goes by the name Maude. She hunts for men at bars, online, at home— the place doesn’t matter, neither does the man. Her victims then must live the aftermath of their assault in the form of doubt from the police, feelings of shame alienation from their friends and family and the haunting of a horrible woman who becomes the phantom on which society projects its greatest fears, fascinations and even misogyny. All the while the police are without leads and the media hound the victims, publicly dissecting the details of their attack. What is extraordinary is how as years pass these men learn to heal, by banding together and finding a space to raise their voices. Told in alternating viewpoints signature to each voice and experience of the victim, these pages crackle with emotion, ranging from horror to breathtaking empathy. As bold as it is timely, Any Man paints a searing portrait of survival and is a tribute to those who have lived through the nightmare of sexual assault.

Download or read book All about Amber written by Charlene Densen and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the relatively short life expectancies of dogs, most people assume that their dogs will pass away before themselves. But what if that doesn't happen? What if you pass away before your dog? Many people do have a plan as to who should take on the responsibility of caring for their dog after their death. However, even under those circumstances, that may lead to a dog being placed in a home where the new family is totally unfamiliar with the dog. That may create a difficult situation for both the new family and the dog. All About Amber is an open letter to the people who would take care of Amber in the event Amber's parents pass away before Amber. The book is written so that in the event Amber's family passes before Amber, Amber's needs and desires would be fully understood by her new family. The book is a detailed examination of every aspect of Amber's life. It is written as a model for others so that everyone has a plan for their dog in the event they pass away first and that the new family is not unfamiliar with the personality and needs of their new family member. Besides providing a history of Amber's life and stories about Amber, the book examines Amber's personality as well as her likes and dislikes. It discusses basic issues such as Amber's health issues, hygiene, food, equipment, and toys. The book looks at how Amber reacts with people and other dogs, and outlines the activities in which Amber likes to engage. The aim of the book is that if Amber were to go to her new family, her new family would be familiar with Amber, easing the transition for both Amber and her new family. While the topic of this book is serious and provides some common-sense advice on dog ownership in general, the authors attempt to write this book in a light-hearted style. While dog ownership entails some responsibility and those responsibilities are outlined in this book, the book is aimed at conveying the joy and fun Amber has brought to her family. Charlene Densen is an administrator of a not-for-profit corporation serving people with disabilities, and Robert Schonfeld is an attorney representing not-for-profit corporations serving people with disabilities. Amber is a large seven-year old spayed Pomeranian. She is cute, beautiful and smart, loves people, and loves to explore and watch activity. They live in a building on the ocean in Long Beach, New York where Amber is often referred to as the "Mayor" of the building. Both Charlene and Bob have had dogs prior to Amber, but none of their previous dogs was anything like Amber. Charlene and Bob's favorite hobby is observing Amber and trying to understand the things she does. Charlene, Bob and Amber are constantly looking for dog events sponsored by charitable organizations. They are especially involved in the activities of the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, which operates a no-kill shelter in Wainscott, New York. Ten per cent of the profits of this book will go to the Animal Rescue Fund.

Download or read book Birds of Amber written by Ibrahim Abdel Meguid and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1956 Suez War or the Tripartite Aggression, as it is known in Egyp life in Alexandria goes on. The railroad workers and their families live in the low-income housing of el- Masakin, along the Mahmudiya Canal, but some of them take us on forays into the other, cosmopolitan Alexandria, whose European denizens, mainly Greeks, Italians, and Jews are departing in droves. This spellbinding novel teems with memorable characters, not a few of whom are themselves storytellers: a budding novelist writing about el-Masakin and its eccentric denizens and about his own improbable love affair with a 12-year-old girl; a spice merchant dreaming of the bygone glory of his ancestors and their trade along the spice road, beginning on the Malabar Coast; a train guard who is a teller of very tall tales; and a would-be filmmaker trying to make a film showing what happened in Port Said during the war. As in his earlier novel, No One Sleeps in Alexandria, Ibrahim Abdel Meguid here combines historical fact with fiction, and the mundane with the fantastical, to weave an engrossing, multilayered story of stories.

The area surrounding Cashiers, North Carolina, is home to people of all kinds, but the world that Jacob McNeely lives in is crueler than most. His father runs a methodically organized meth ring, with local authorities on the dime to turn a blind eye to his dealings. Having dropped out of high school and cut himself off from his peers, Jacob has been working for this father for years, all on the promise that his payday will come eventually. The only joy he finds comes from reuniting with Maggie, his first love, and a girl clearly bound for bigger and better things than their hardscrabble town. Jacob has always been resigned to play the cards that were dealt him, but when a fatal mistake changes everything, he’s faced with a choice: stay and appease his father, or leave the mountains with the girl he loves. In a place where blood is thicker than water and hope takes a back seat to fate, Jacob wonders if he can muster the strength to rise above the only life he’s ever known. “Remarkable...This isn’t your ordinary coming-of-age novel, but with his bone-cutting insights into these men and the region that bred them, Joy makes it an extraordinarily intimate experience.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review “Lyrical, propulsive, dark and compelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking collection not only takes us into the past and the future, but also explores what might happen if we attempt to manipulate time to our own advantage.

Once we move outside the present day, can we ever return or do we move into an alternate world? What happens if our meddling with Nature leads to time flowing backwards, or slowing down or stopping all together? Or if we get trapped in a constant loop from which we can never escape. Is the past and future immutable or will we ever be able to escape the inevitable? These are just some of the questions that are raised in these challenging, exciting and sometimes amusing stories by Kage Baker, Simon Clark, Fritz Leiber, Christopher Priest, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Robert Silverberg, Michael Swanwick, John Varley and many others.
