Download or read book My Kind of Heroes written by Carl Douglass and published by Publication Consultants. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Kind of Heroes is the inaugural work in a compelling seven-book series by Carl Douglass, Neurosurgeon Turned Author who Writes With Gripping Realism. Carl offers a fresh take on heroism through the lens of lesser-known but equally impactful figures. My Kind of Heroes steps away from the common hero narrative that focuses on the realms of sports, entertainment, or high-profile leaders. Instead, Douglass spotlights individuals whose significant contributions have been overlooked or underappreciated. My Kind of Heroes is a collection of concise historical profiles that shine a light on individuals chosen for their quiet influence and meaningful actions, rather than their fame. Douglass's work is a tribute to those who have acted heroically without seeking the limelight—people whose stories, though not often in the headlines, are rich with inspiration and deserve our recognition and appreciation. While platforms like CNN celebrate modern-day heroes, Douglass's My Kind of Heroes stands out by broadening the definition of heroism. It goes beyond the widely recognized heroes to honor those who have made a difference behind the scenes. This unique perspective sets the stage for the six volumes to follow, inviting readers to expand their understanding of heroism and the remarkable individuals who embody it.

Download or read book Heroes Are My Weakness written by Susan Elizabeth Phillips and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips is back with a delightful novel filled with her sassy wit and dazzling charm. He's a reclusive writer whose imagination creates chilling horror novels. She's a down-on-her-luck actress reduced to staging kids' puppet shows. He knows a dozen ways to kill his characters with his bare hands. She knows a dozen ways to kill an audience with laughs. But she's not laughing now. Annie Hewitt has arrived on Peregrine Island in the middle of a snowstorm and at the end of her resources. She's broke, dispirited, but not quite ready to give up. Her red suitcases hold the puppets she uses to make her living: sensible Dilly, spunky Scamp, and Leo, the baddest of bad guys. Her puppets, the romantic novels she loves, and a little bit of courage are all she has left. Annie couldn't be more ill prepared for what she finds when she reaches Moonraker Cottage or for the man who dwells in Harp House, the mysterious mansion that hovers above the cottage. When she was a teenager, he betrayed her in a way she can never forget or forgive. Now they're trapped together on a frozen island along with a lonely widow, a mute little girl, and townspeople who don't know how to mind their own business. Is he the villain she remembers, or has he changed? Her head says no. Her heart says yes. It's going to be a long, hot winter.
