Book excerpt: Chance Galloway thinks walking into the Xxchange might just be the biggest mistake he's ever made, but one stranger who seems to know just how to touch Chance is going to make it a night he'll never forget. Chance Galloway is used to being alone. Once a wild and voracious player, he became a loner after a traumatic event in his past tore his world apart. Older and wiser, years of loneliness and a moment of weakness drive him to seek another's touch. The only problem is, the club he chooses to visit is filled with PYT's—pretty young things Chance simply doesn't find appealing. Rory Calhoun has his own baggage that haunts him. Still, he gives in to curiosity and decides to check out the local club. Inside he spots a man who fires up every fantasy Rory's ever had. The only problem is, despite a quick, enthralling encounter, the stranger makes it clear he isn't interested in PYT's, a label Rory knows would be slapped on him in a heartbeat if the stranger ever saw his face. Rory has one unexpected opportunity to make Chance see him as a man, and he's going to grab that opportunity, and Chance with both hands.

When a commission to delve into the financial dealings of a mysterious Russian oligarch comes across his desk, he jumps at the chance. But as Simon investigates, worrying patterns begin to emerge. His subject made regular trips to Oxford, but for no apparent reason. There are payments from offshore accounts that suddenly just... stop.

Download or read book Rickie Fowler Par Excellence written by Frank Worrall and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He's the leader of America's exciting new wave of golfing superstars. Young, fun and gifted, Rickie Fowler has taken the sport to a younger audience in the States - making headlines as much for his wacky dress sense and YouTube spoofs as for his God-given prowess with a golf club.Twenty-six-year-old Fowler, is America's answer to Rory McIlroy, and together they represent the gifted faces of golf for a new era: two young men destined to contest a Trans-Atlantic rivalry for that coveted World No. 1 spot.But it was motocross that was Rickie's first love. He had dreams of making his name as a racer until he broke his foot in three places at the age of fifteen. Then on, he focused purely on golf, winning tournament after tournament in high school, until, in 2007, he was chosen for the US's Walker Cup team and a year later became the first university freshman ever to be awarded the NCAA Player of the Year.Such was his burgeoning talent that in 2010 he also went on to become the first American rookie to be selected for the Ryder Cup and in 2014, he became only the third golfer ever to finish in the Top 5 at all four professional majors in the same season, following in the illustrious footsteps of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. He was moving ever closer to that first major victory as he and McIlroy continued to trade shots and tweets at courses around the world for the ultimate golfing honours. But for all his colourful clothes and joking around with fellow 'brat pack' member Bubba Watson, Rickie has a much more serious, emotional and intellectual side to his character.In this compelling first biography on the figurehead of US golf's young guns, Frank Worrall provides a fascinating portrayal of Rickie Fowler as both a fun-loving yet altruistic human being and a single-minded golfing superstar.
Download or read book Gilmore Girls and the Politics of Identity written by Ritch Calvin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines the Gilmore Girls from a post-feminist perspective, evaluating how the show's main female characters and supporting cast fit into the classic portrayal of feminine identity on popular television. The book begins by placing Gilmore Girls in the context of the history of feminism and feminist television shows such as Mary Tyler Moore and One Day at a Time. The remainder of the essays look at series' portrayal of traditional and non-traditional gender identities and familial relationships. Topics include the hyper-real utopia represented by Gilmore Girls' fictional Stars Hollow; the faux-feminist perspective offered by Rory Gilmore's unfulfilling (and often masochistic) romantic relationships; the ways in which "mean girl" Paris Geller both adheres to and departs from the traditional archetype of female power and aggression; and the role of Lorelai Gilmore's oft-criticized marriage in destroying the show's central theme of single motherhood during its seventh season. The work also studies the role of food and its consumption as a narrative device throughout the show's development, evaluating the ways in which food negotiates, defines, and upholds the characters' gendered and class performances. The work also includes a complete episode guide listing the air date, title, writer, and director of every episode in the series.

Book excerpt: A woman desperate to turn a new page heads to the Scottish coast and finds herself locked in a battle of wills with an infuriatingly aloof bookseller in this utterly heartwarming debut, perfect for readers of Evvie Drake Starts Over. “Humor and charm abound. . . . [This] love story hits the spot.”—Publishers Weekly Thea Mottram is having a bad month. She’s been let go from her office job with no notice—and to make matters even worse, her husband of nearly twenty years has decided to leave her for one of her friends. Bewildered and completely lost, Thea doesn’t know what to do. But when she learns that a distant great uncle in Scotland has passed away, leaving her his home and a hefty antique book collection, she decides to leave Sussex for a few weeks. Escaping to a small coastal town where no one knows her seems to be exactly what she needs. Almost instantly, Thea becomes enamored with the quaint cottage, comforted by its cozy rooms and lovely but neglected garden. The locals in nearby Baldochrie are just as warm, quirky, and inviting. The only person she can’t seem to win over is bookshop owner Edward Maltravers, to whom she hopes to sell her uncle’s book collection. His gruff attitude—fueled by an infamous, long-standing feud with his brother, a local lord—tests Thea’s patience. But bickering with Edward proves oddly refreshing and exciting, leading Thea to develop feelings she hasn’t experienced in a long time. As she follows a thrilling yet terrifying impulse to stay in Scotland indefinitely, Thea realizes that her new life may quickly become just as complicated as the one she was running from.

Book excerpt: An American family's 134,000-word two-part, action-filled fiction story from the Vietnam era. Based on Ronald's tour guarding nuclear weapons in Europe and twin Rusty's actual combat narrative with the Marines in Vietnam. How the family, with an unflappable faith in their countries, duty to fight the spread of Communism, survived the war's turmoil that lambasted families, and the country's persona for years. Vietnam, the rabbit hole about some went in, some came out, and some are still there. Some memories won't leave you in peace. They haunt Rusty and Rory and go round and round in their memories until they write it. This thriller/adventure story is a bridge between fact and fiction set in the Vietnam era by a witness to the witnesses of the quagmire based on true life events. The twins and their childhood friends march off to the drumbeat of never having lost a war. They do their duty and struggle to make it home intact. Rory's fight is about a psychological/internal struggle of perseverance to battle a psychotic sergeant. Rusty's fight is about physical and emotional endurance in the face of constant death. Will Rusty survive his sister's prophecy and the family curse of twin Uncle Rusty being killed in World War II? Who survives, and who is smashed by war's merciless fist? The survivors drifted into psychodelamania for years. The lessons they learned and the map they used are relevant to the turmoil of today's world. This story unfolds unlike the traditional story. It unfolds more in a transitional, episodic, chapter-by-chapter of each brother's path. Good stories are exciting to read or watch, like a cobra fighting a mongoose. Folks fascinated. Gotta see what comes next. This is one of those war stories.
Download or read book Fathers on Film written by Katie Barnett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The father is an enduring and iconic figure in Hollywood cinema and in the 1990s, narratives of redemptive fatherhood featured prominently in some of the decade's most popular films like Kindergarten Cop (1990), Mrs Doubtfire (1993), Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lion King (1994). Interpreting such films through the lens of feminist and queer theory, along with masculinity studies and psychoanalysis, Katie Barnett offers an insightful and interdisciplinary discussion of cinematic fathers. Barnett reveals that the father figure is often portrayed as one that invests in and is part of a discourse of reproductive futurism. This plays out across a range of genres including rom-coms, fantasy, sci-fi, drama, and disaster. By exploring both blockbuster and more low-budget films of the 1990s, Barnett explores the figure of the father against the crisis of masculinity in the United States, and indeed more globally, at this time.
