In addition, Reading-Writing Connections offers expanded content on the impact of sociocultural theory and the whole language movement on the teaching of reading and writing across the curriculum; greater emphasis on cultural diversity, including new multicultural children's literature booklists that complement the general children's literature bibliographies; and current information on alternative assessment, emerging technologies, the multiage classroom, reader response to literature, and thematic teaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking for a new crime thriller series you won’t be able to put down? If you love nail-biting tension and jaw-dropping twists, then look no further than the Detectives Kane and Alton series. The first three books in this exciting series see Kane and Alton on the hunt for killers preying on the small American town of Black Rock Falls. Don’t Tell a Soul: The floor was stone cold on her bare skin. Her heart pounded in her chest. ‘Not a soul knows where I am,’ she thought as she took in the darkness around her. And then she heard his footsteps… When Detective Jenna Alton and her new deputy David Kane move to the remote town of Black Rock Falls, they soon discover this is anything but a quiet little town. As visitors to the town are reported missing and a body is found stuffed into a barrel at the local dump, Kane and Alton know they have a serial killer on the loose. Bring Me Flowers: She’d walked this way hundreds of times before. She knew every twist and turn. She didn’t know this was the last time she’d ever walk this path. The body of schoolgirl Felicity Parker is found in a forest carefully laid out with nothing but a freshly picked bunch of flowers next to her lifeless form. As more schoolgirls are murdered, Kane and Alton must rush to find the killer before more girls are taken. Follow Me Home: Her bare arms are scratched and bleeding as she runs through the forest. The light fades behind her but she must keep running. She knows what will happen to her if she stops… Kane and Alton are called to an empty house where the body of Amos Price lies in a pool of his own blood. As they begin to unpick the life of the reclusive victim, they uncover a disturbing link between Price and the disappearance of several young girls many years before. And as they come close to finding out who is behind Price’s murder, the killer turns their sights on Kane and Alton. Fans of Lisa Regan, Karin Slaughter and Rachel Abbott will love detectives Kane and Alton. What readers are saying about D.K. Hood: ‘WOW!!!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At 18 years old and straight out of high school, young and naïve Blaize Francis meets and falls in love with the neighborhood's crazy, Molly-popping, K-2 smoking, loose cannon, Dexter Simmons, who promises her a life of happiness. Now at 23, she's starting to realize she's nothing more than a human punching bag to him. Locked inside the house of hell, alone with no family or friends, physically and emotionally battered, Blaize continues to hold on to a relationship that may eventually kill her or place the one she cherishes the most in danger. After finally escaping the torment, she runs to the only person she knows. Detective Gregory Knight is at the top of his game in his career. After losing his wife to an unexplained death, he's determined to move on with life with his 7-year-old daughter. He has been working on Blaize's domestic abuse case for the last 3 years. Knight breaks the number one rule of never mixing business with pleasure when he starts growing feelings for Blaize. With Detective Knight to the rescue, he helps her through her most difficult times and helps build her into a stronger woman. With her newfound strength and not missing the fact that Blaize is one of the most beautiful women he has ever laid eyes on, his feelings for Blaize start to grow, and his willingness to protect her may jeopardize everything he has worked hard for. Will this damsel be worth his distress?

Download or read book The Gay Detective Novel written by Judith A. Markowitz and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gertrude Stein called it "the only really modern novel form that has come into existence," yet the mystery genre was a century old before it featured its first gay main character in a novel. Since then, gay and lesbian detective fiction has been one of the fastest growing segments of the genre. It incorporates gay and lesbian cultural elements and offers crossover appeal. Its authors call upon a century of development in the mystery genre, while providing new, more accurate images of lesbians and gay men than generally found in mainstream literature and popular media. This groundbreaking study of gay and lesbian detective fiction examines mystery series and historically significant stand-alone novels published since the early 1960s. Part I is an overview that describes how these novels make gay and lesbian life visible and forge new, powerful images. It also examines how they fit into the larger history of mystery fiction. The series analyses in Part II are grouped according to the type of main character (police officer, private investigator, amateur sleuth, etc.). Each section discusses main and secondary characters of that type, characteristic themes for the group, and more. The analyses of individual series cover main characters, themes, plot points and other elements. Comments from authors interviewed for this book play a central role in those analyses. Part III lists series-spanning themes (e.g., homophobia, the closet, gay marriage) and the novels and series that address each of those themes.

Download or read book The Detective as Historian written by Ray Browne and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Deeper understanding of history is enhanced by encasing it in art and interest. Crime fiction is one of the widest and most rapidly growing forms of literature. Historical crime fiction serves effectively the double purpose of entertaining while it teaches. The "truth" of the narrative account, the editors of this volume believe, is dependent on the understanding of human nature reflected in the author who writes the narrative. "Historical crime fiction," the editors of this volume write, "has an obligation and a golden opportunity. It must bring the past up to the present through the device of timeless crime and it must take the reader into the world about which is being written so that the characters are alive and the events interesting and challenging." Professional writers of fiction need to be more effective than mere authors of dates and assumed motivations. Therefore they can fill in human motivations and drives where no records exist and can aid the professional historians in what historian David Thelen calls the "challenge of history " which is "to recover the past and [interpret it for] the present." The essays in this volume accept the challenge and make major accomplishments for meeting it.
