Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One thing Rachel Hardison knew for sure was that she did not want to find herself twice divorced at age twenty nine as was her older sister Devon, who was in the midst of ending her second marriage, so since all every man ever wanted in her experience was just one thing and she had no intention of satisfying their boody calls, at age twenty four, she had contented herself with being single. And while she would love to find a man who would be able to look past her face and her body and love her for herself the way she would want to love him, Rachel simply did not see that happening. So when she arrived in Alaska for her older brother Georges wedding to his boss, Stacey, an Alaska native, the last thing Rachel arrived looking for was a man. Instead, what was on her mind was sightseeing and plenty of it, and with George having lived in Anchorage for five years now, he would know every nook and cranny to take her to. Only problem she discovered once having arrived at the fancy Anchorage hotel owned by his fiance was that George was too busy putting last-minute touches on Saturdays wedding as well as handling last-minute hotel business in preparation for his and Staceys honeymoon to show her around. And with Alaska being the habitat of bears and other such wildlife and wilderness trappings that could prove dangerous to a visitor untaught in its ways, George offered to get one of his groomsmen to stand in as a tour guide for her. It is on that note that he asks her to guess whos standing in as his best man, and when she asks him who and he tells her Felix Latham, Rachel cant believe it! Felix Latham--his gorgeous best friend from college, who fell head-over-heels in love with their sister Devon, who dated him briefly before dumping him to the wayside and forgetting him completely! That said, Rachel had not heard his name in ten years, surprised George had kept in touch with him after all that time. And indeed George had--to hear him tell it, Felix was presently an actor on a New York soap opera, had been for six years, and had the Emmys to prove it. Rachel simply couldnt believe that Felix was that successful, much less a famous actor! George then suggests that Felix would make an excellent tour guide for her, and when Rachel naturally asks why when hes not a native any more than is she, George tells her that hes been at the hotel for over a week now, having upset half his female staff getting them to show him around while theyre off-duty. Rachel doesnt doubt that for a minute, always having thought of Felix as a lady killer, with the exception of being unable to keep Devon wrapped around his finger. Small wonder hed become an actor, she thought! And so she agrees to let Felix be her tour guide provided hes up to it--just as she anticipates the reaction shes going to get when he sees how Georges kid sister filled out since the last time he saw her, not to mention she wasnt exactly a dog, either! And indeed again, when George finally does reintroduce his old friend to the kid sister he hasnt seen in ten years, Felix cant believe it any more than he can keep his eyes off her. In fact, despite the fact that he is still clearly in love with Devon, the disappointment he feels at learning from Rachel that Devon is in the midst of a divorce and thus wont be there to attend the wedding is almost eclipsed by his excitement at the thought of showing her all the fabulous places in and around Anchorage that he has been avidly exploring the length of his stay thus far, knowing shell provide a most pleasant and familiar distraction. And so he agrees to be her tour guide for the next three days and they have so much fun, not to mention, so much in common, that Rachel is bent on keeping it from happening despite Felixs equal determination that it does. But just as the inevitable happens and they are about to give in to their attraction, whats going to happ

Download or read book The Robbins written by C. Roman and published by C. Roman. This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete six-part romantic dramedy about time-travel. Generally speaking, few would know much about a small countryside town like that of Canton, Mississippi. Even its residents couldn't imagine that anything of noteworthy significance ever occurs around these parts, aside from the recent tragedy that befell the Robbins. For all the broken families, junkies and even lowkey gangsters, surely this place has nothing going on that doesn't happen anywhere else, does it? “So there are more timelines. Is that bad?” “Catastrophic! Or… inconsequential. Hard to tell.” “Doc!” “It means one of two things; we are creating different timeless… or perhaps will always find ourselves in timelines that already existed, regardless of what we do.” “Well, that doesn't sound... terrible.” “That is option A and B of the inconsequential outcome.” “And the catastrophic one?” “The catastrophic one would mean that we are changing the only true timeline.” “As in: playing mother nature?” “As in: messing with the very fabric of spacetime. Messing with the only turn of events that was ever supposed to happen. If something occurs that wasn’t meant to be - perhaps by simply involving Alan in this - I just singlehandedly completely derailed the universe’s one and only destiny!” “Woah… Doc…”

Download or read book LEBENSBORN written by Douglas Kuehn and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the second volume of the Addlestone Chronicles, the focus is on the Nazi’s vision of creating a ‘Master Race’ in preparation for their 1000-year Reich. To accomplish this, they promoted, arranged, and eventually only permitted, ‘breeding’ between genetically ‘pure’ Aryans. This Europe-wide programme was called Lebensborn. Set in the mid-1930s, action takes place in England, Germany, Italy, and France. A wealthy, young English upper-class couple, James and Louise Harcourt-Heath, are recruited as spies by the British Security Service department, MI5. After unearthing the secrets of the primary Lebensborn facility, they are assigned to continue their espionage activities at the 1936 winter and summer Olympic games in Hitler’s Germany. Both novels offer readers fast-moving and gripping adventure stories as well as historical warnings. Parallels are evident between the conditions in Europe in the 1930s and political developments today in the US, the UK, and elsewhere. Similar circumstances enabled fascist dictators in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The third volume of the Addlestone Chronicles is set to be published in the autumn of 2022. Partially set in Ireland, it follows the same English couple’s attempts to unearth Nazi spies in the neutral Irish Free State and prevent the Nazi kidnap of a physicist, working on nuclear fission at the Cavendish Lab in Cambridge, England.

Download or read book Cinematography in the Weimar Republic written by Paul Matthew St. Pierre and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In film history, director-cinematographer collaborations were on a labor spectrum, with the model of the contracted camera operator in the silent era and that of the cinematographer in the sound era. But in Weimar era German filmmaking, 1919-33, a short period of intense artistic activity and political and economic instability, these models existed side by side due to the emergence of camera operators as independent visual artists and collaborators with directors. Berlin in the 1920s was the chief site of the interdisciplinary avant-garde of the Modernist movement in the visual, literary, architectural, design, typographical, sartorial, and performance arts in Europe. The Weimar Revolution that arose in the aftermath of the November 1918 Armistice and that established the Weimar Republic informed and agitated all of the art movements, such as Expressionism, Dada, the Bauhaus, Minimalism, Objectivism, Verism, and Neue Sachlichkeit (“New Objectivity”). Among the avant-garde forms of these new stylistically and culturally negotiated arts, the cinema was foremost and since its inception had been a radical experimental practice in new visual technologies that proved instrumental in changing how human beings perceived movement, structure, perspective, light exposure, temporal duration, continuity, spatial orientation, human postural, facial, vocal, and gestural displays, and their own spectatorship, as well as conventions of storytelling like narrative, setting, theme, character, and structure. Whereas most of the arts mobilized into schools, movements, institutions, and other structures, cinema, a collaborative art, tended to organize around its ensembles of practitioners. Historically, the silent film era, 1895-1927, is associated with auteurs, the precursors of François Truffaut and other filmmakers in the 1960s: actuality filmmakers and pioneers like R. W. Paul and Fred and Joe Evans in England, Auguste and Luis Lumière and Georges Méliès in France, and Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton in America, who, by managing all the compositional, executional, and editorial facets of film production—scripting, directing, acting, photographing, set, costume, and lighting design, editing, and marketing—imposed their personal vision or authorship on the film. The dichotomy of the auteur and the production ensemble established a production hierarchy in most filmmaking. In formative German silent film, however, this hierarchy was less rank or class driven, because collaborative partnerships took precedence over single authorship. Whereas in silent film production in most countries the terms filmmaker and director were synonymous, in German silent film the plural term filmemacherin connoted both directors and cinematographers, along with the rest of the filmmaking crew. Thus, German silent filmmakers’ principle contribution to the new medium and art of film was less the representational iconographies of Expressionist, New Objective, and Naturalist styles than the executional practice of co-authorship and co-production, in distinctive cinematographer-director partnerships such as those of cinematographer Theodor Sparkuhl and director Ernst Lubitsch; Fritz Arno Wagner with F. W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, and G. W. Pabst; Rudolf Maté with Carl Theodor Dreyer; Guido Seeber with Lang and Pabst; and Carl Hoffmann with Lang and Murnau.
