Download or read book Angels Dance on the Head of a Pin written by GlenScott Thomas Copper and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 1038 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The empty Sky Room was an oval Victorian greenhouse restaurant atop Chicago’s about-to-be-destroyed 17-story Majestic Hotel. It was a penthouse covering three-fourths of the roof, which was surrounded by a safety parapet about three feet high, capped with glazed tile the green color of oxidized bronze. I expected that Willie would be waiting to leap out at me from behind one of the abandoned fake plants. All I heard over the storm was the murmuring of pigeons hiding in the chimney from the rain. I stood in the center of the room, figuring Willie must have secreted herself in her trench coat and hat against one of the ebony oak pilasters along the edge of the room. I waited for lightning to give away her position. It did. I saw her outside the glass walls through rivulets of rain, as sheet lightning illuminated the clouds over the lake, silhouetting Willie perched atop the parapet wall on the far corner of the building like some sort of gargoyle. The tails of her trench coat were flapping in the gale rising from Quincy Street. Her rain hat was gone and her drenched black curls were writhing on each side of her face. I ran to the door she’d left open and stepped toward her. She crouched like a swimmer on a starting block, staring at the bottom of the pool stories below... a very dark pool. A flashing traffic light jaundiced her face like some wild Hitchcock effect. She didn’t look at me, but down toward the blinking amber light. I stopped dead in my tracks, not sure what to do. She was perched only a few feet from where I stood. If I startled her, she could fall. I looked for a gentle way to get her attention. The low thunder from the sheet lightning over Lake Michigan growled in our faces. Suddenly a shock wave of light and heat, like a nuclear blast, erupted as lightning struck the boom of the demolition derrick. A gust of hot firey dragon breath belched from the crane. Willie bolted straight up, but she lost her footing on the parapet’s wet glazed cap. As she did, I leapt from the doorway and was able to catch hold of the tail of her trench coat just as her butt hit the edge and slipped over the side. I had the trench coat and the trench coat had Willie, but only by her arms. I was in a tug-of-war where both sides would win, or both sides would lose. Without thought, I collected all the material from her coat that I could and twisted it by ducking and pirouetting behind the parapet. This wrapped the makeshift hawser around my left forearm for a more-secure grip. I peered over the parapet where I could see the top of Willie’s head with her arms raised up above her like count Dracula about to turn into a bat and take flight. “Cross your arms!” I shouted, but there was no response.

Book excerpt: One of NPR's Best Books of 2019 A second chance doesn't guarantee a touchdown in this new contemporary romance from the author of Intercepted. Single-mother Poppy Patterson moved across the country when she was sixteen and pregnant to find a new normal. After years of hard work, she's built a life she loves. It may include a job at a nightclub, weekend soccer games, and more stretch marks than she anticipated, but it's all hers, and nobody can take that away. Well, except for one person. T.K. Moore, the starting wide receiver for the Denver Mustangs, dreamt his entire life about being in the NFL. His world is football, parties, and women. Maybe at one point he thought his future would play out with his high school sweetheart by his side, but Poppy is long gone and he's moved on. When Poppy and TK cross paths in the most unlikely of places, emotions they've suppressed for years come rushing back. But with all the secrets they never told each other lying between them, they'll need more than a dating playbook to help them navigate their relationship.

There, the members of Sharks Incorporated find oranges unlike any they’ve ever seen, but can’t find the tree Doc needs. Worse, the area is protected by a massive saltwater crocodile. What the team doesn’t expect is to meet a reclusive woman who threatens to call the police if they trespass on her land again. Reluctant to give up, the trio learns she needs help. When she was young, the woman found King Calusa's grave. Now, she believes the ghost of the dead king, who was beheaded by Spanish explorers 500 years ago, is haunting her. To uncover the truth, the kids return to the Bone Field. The thousand-pound crocodile is determined to protect its hatchlings, but crocs turn out to be the least of their worries. The intrepid trio discovers the woman’s wealthy neighbor is selling illegal reptiles—and he knows the secret of the dead king’s missing gold medallion.

We now have an eleven-year-old son together, Lewis. For the first time my son has shoved me like all the times he seen his father, Ray, do. It only takes one time for my own son to abuse me when we end up leaving Ray to go to my parent’s house. They happily take us in, and soon I have a seasonal job at Farmer’s Market. Lewis and I have made new friends. We're happier than we’ve ever been. When I get the divorce papers, and we go to court about visitation with Lewis I’m neither surprised nor saddened. Lewis, my son, said he doesn’t mind going to see his dad for visitation. The only problem is I have to worry about Ray’s new act of playing a good father figure role will wear off. Will he start abusing Lewis, since I’m not home to take his abuse personally? In time, Lewis and I situate to a healthier, functional routine. Lewis and I both have settled. We’re still happy, and Ray has been on good terms with Lewis. I feel so great that I dip my toes in the dating scene. So, when this handsome man named Luke asks me to go out to eat with him, I agree to it. I soon regret it, though. It has nothing to do with him and everything to do with me. I’m not ready.

Will this dramatic chaos ever end, so that my son and I can move on with our lives and find ourselves better situated to a healthier dynamic? Did I make the biggest mistake thinking I could date without havoc?

Download or read book Bald Lubavitcher written by Lawrence J. Corneck and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beware the Eyes of Stink! Author Takes on Oddly Enchanting World of Horror in Newest Screenplay NEW YORK – Stink Eyes. It is a look of incredible hatred, a look that – if intense enough, if long enough, if delivered by a person who truly hates – can result in a curse. And it is the look given to Rolando Karputchnick by his soon-to-be ex-wife, Neptune, as she lays dying in the street after a hit-and-run. Lawrence J. Corneck has done it again, shocking and satisfying readers with his eccentric, outlandish characters and trademark brand of sinister humor in his dark new screenplay, Bald Lubavitcher (published by AuthorHouse). A companion to Corneck’s previous books, Bald Lubavitcher follows the outlandish and arrogant Rolando from Geezer Pleaser (published by AuthorHouse), who, in typical Rolando fashion, doesn’t seem too upset about his wife’s sudden expiration. His only cause for concern? Neptune’s departing serving of Stink Eyes. As Neptune fades out of his life, a Movie Buff walks in. “Not an ordinary Movie Buff,” writes Corneck. “But a Movie Buff from Hell, a Movie Buff who assumes the persona of Major Characters in Movies and then proceeds, if one is a believer in the Occult (and dare one not be), to enforce Neptune’s Curse.” Rolando sues the Movie Buff, an ex-con who owes him money, and the two hot-headed men get caught up in an obsessive and unusual rivalry that involves company takeovers, a mind-altering painting, mystery and, of course, murder. The Movie Buff’s last big role? A big surprise. Born and raised in New York, Corneck continues to love living in the Big Apple. He is also the author of Existential Hell: A Screenplay Trilogy, Big Cigar, small d**k, FAT FAT Snitch and Geezer Pleaser (all published by AuthorHouse), companions to Bald Lubavitcher. More screenplays based upon earlier characters, including Mime’s the Word, Bubble Catcher, Asphalt Bungle and Bitch Fight at the KO Corral, will soon be available through AuthorHouse. According to Corneck, each of his screenplays will be written in a different genre: cat and mouse, domestic drama, high adventure, coming of age, comedy, romance, horror, tear-jerker, show biz, caper and western.
