Download or read book The Goddess Patrol written by John Wingspread Howell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After hearing a story about a man who built a castle as a monument to his love for his wife, Eunice Motley became overwhelmed with the realization that the man she married did not love her “that much.” She then promptly disappeared. Overwhelmed by his wife’s sudden departure, Clarence Motley drove the car into the St. Lawrence, leaving their six children orphaned and forever averse to water. Thirty years later, all six are still single, and still gather at the old homestead for each other’s birthdays. Martin Motley is the youngest of the six orphans. He was ten when his mother left. He was also, she often told him, her favorite. He was the last to see her before she abandoned them. On her way out of their lives, she told Martin something cryptic about trusting his intuition and saving for a rainy day. As the story opens, Martin is forty, still a virgin, and investigating sex abuse for a living. He is the goddess patrol, avenging the desecration of young women. For fifteen years he has lived in one room saving and investing most of his income for "a rainy day," while saving himself for the perfect woman. Meanwhile, the three arenas in Martin Motley’s life converge in simultaneous crisis. Professionally, he is faced with his biggest case: allegations of sexual abuse by a popular community leader with no evidence to support them except the word of a juvenile prostitute and—Martin’s infallible intuition. Personally, Martin, with the help of his psychotherapist, is working up the courage to take one of his “perfect women” down from the pedestal and risk for a relationship. In the family, new information comes out about where his mother went all those years ago and why. What Martin does with his memories, his intuition and his unfulfilled dreams when the ghosts come charging out of every crack in the teetering floor beneath him makes for one compelling psychodrama.

Book excerpt: In St. Jude's Gospel, SK Marinangel is a Fortune 500 CEO but wants to be a mother. She goes to an executive search firm for help finding a husband. Bill Motley, is a surgically sterile, forty-something burn-out. Reprising his role in Goddess Patrol, Bill ran a spoof presidential campaign for a late-night TV show. The campaign was everybody's joke, but Bill's true aspiration. He got depressed every four years because he wasn't running. A chance meeting between SK and Bill creates a compelling story of underdogs, infertility, wasted lives, impossible cases, mayhem, miracle, unlikely romance and faith's emergence from cynical, bitter disbelief. Of Naked in Church, one reviewer wrote, "Howell writes with a nice turn of phrase lets us know that (we) can still find voices of grace at (the) center (of tragedy), not to mention the light that is always trying to form around the edges."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning, the Goddess danced the world into existence. Peace reigned for generations through matriarchal rule within the Minca, Dute, and Carroo tribes. But then one man’s lust for power destroyed this balance: Vestor assassinated his sister, Mother of the Minca tribe. His army ravaged the Dute and Carroo tribes. A once-idyllic world was thrust into war, famine, and despair. Yet today, there is hope. Vestor’s niece, Cora, has a vision: if she can convince an emissary from each tribe to rendezvous at the Heart Stone, she can overthrow her evil uncle, take her rightful place as Mother Minca, and restore harmony. But the Dutes have disappeared deep into their mountains. There are rumors that the Carroos are extinct. And Cora must move swiftly—lest Vestor learn that she’s pregnant with the Mincan heir.

Download or read book Indrajal Comics 46 60 The Phantom Mandrake The Magician written by Lee Falk and published by John Davies. This book was released on with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indrajal Comics began publishing self-titled monthly issues in March 1964. Each of the first 10 issues had 16 pages of Phantom comics. The stories had to be edited to fit this short format. The remaining 12 pages were dedicated to other content, similar to Gold Key's style. In the next 19 issues it became 20-24 pages. As the series continued, different characters would share the spotlight. Characters such as Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, Bahadur, Kerry Drake, Rip Kirby, Garth, Mike Nomad and Buz Sawyer appeared - as well as Disney characters Robin Hood and Mickey Mouse along with Goofy, but the majority of the series spotlighted The Phantom. So much so that the series is often erroneously referred to as "The Phantom" instead of the correct "Indrajal Comics". In due course the publication became fortnightly and then weekly by 1981. The numbering of books which was simply sequential in the beginning then changed to have the typical volume and a number. Indrajal Comics #444 was labeled as Vol.20 and No.1. The front cover design changed with distinct banner containing the title "Indrajal Comics" with a small circle showing the face of the main charracter. A total of 803 Indrajal Comics were published, excluding #123 and #124 which were not printed due to industrial strike action. More than half of these issues contained Phantom stories. The publishing stopped in 1990. The cover artwork for the first 50 or so issues of Indrajal Comics was done by B.Govind, with the back cover featuring a pin-up poster. His artwork became very popular and even said to have matched the artwork on the covers of international phantom publications such as Gold key or Frew. To avoid confusion among Indian readers, there were some minor changes done to the name of the Phantom's location and some characters in stories published in Indrajal Comics. The term " Bengali" or "Bengalla" or "Bengal" was changed to "Denkali" and in some issues "Dangalla" as well. This was since there is a state called "Bengal" in India and this may lead the readers to wonder about the "Pygmy" people that don't exist in Bengal. The name of the "Singh Brotherhood" was changed to "Singa Brotherhood" and the killer of the father of the current (21st) Phantom was changed from "Rama" to "Ramalu" although the latter too is one of the common names in India. Apart from English, Indrajal Comics published the stories in at least a dozen other Indian languages including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and Kannada.
