Each story in the series stands alone, but all Texas Two-Step novels and novellas feature love stories about members of the Nelson, Murphy or Palmer families - and sometimes, more than one! Book Description: Of course adoptee Holly Brown was curious about her birth family. What adoptee wouldn't be? Especially when her biological grandmother, Tammie Dean Nelson, approached her adoptive father, asking for his permission to meet Holly. Tammie Dean was in the hospital, but it was her wish to meet the grandchild who she hadn't seen since she was a newborn. Tammie Dean Nelson, Slade Colfax's grandmother by choice, rather than by blood, asked him to go bring Holly back to the ranch. He wasn't certain it was a good idea, but generally he went along with whatever Tammie Dean wanted. Especially since her health was so poorly. As soon as he laid eyes on Holly Brown, he was captivated, but questioned whether it was a good idea. His experience with city girls warned him that Holly would be unhappy on a ranch. Going to the Nelson Ranch during the holidays wasn't on the top of Holly's Christmas plans, but once she met Tammie Dean, she adored her. What she didn't enjoy were the attempts upon her own life. Attempts she wasn't certain she would survive.

Download or read book Writing With Power written by Peter Elbow and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-09 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic handbook for anyone who needs to write, Writing With Power speaks to everyone who has wrestled with words while seeking to gain power with them. Here, Peter Elbow emphasizes that the essential activities underlying good writing and the essential exercises promoting it are really not difficult at all. Employing a cookbook approach, Elbow provides the reader (and writer) with various recipes: for getting words down on paper, for revising, for dealing with an audience, for getting feedback on a piece of writing, and still other recipes for approaching the mystery of power in writing. In a new introduction, he offers his reflections on the original edition, discusses the responses from people who have followed his techniques, how his methods may differ from other processes, and how his original topics are still pertinent to today's writer. By taking risks and embracing mistakes, Elbow hopes the writer may somehow find a hold on the creative process and be able to heighten two mentalities--the production of writing and the revision of it. From students and teachers to novelists and poets, Writing with Power reminds us that we can celebrate the uses of mystery, chaos, nonplanning, and magic, while achieving analysis, conscious control, explicitness, and care in whatever it is we set down on paper.

Download or read book HOW TO WRITE YOUR BOOK written by F. Barish-Stern and published by Golden Quill Press. This book was released on 2018-08-12 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “HOW TO WRITE YOUR BOOK, From an Idea...to your Finished Story,” as narrated by “The Three Wise Writing Guides,” is a journey into the exciting world of writing. A writing guide can be very dry and boring, but “How to Write Your Book...,” takes the reader on a journey with our three guides: the Writer, Ms. Iwanna B. Writer, the Editor, Ms. Edi Tor, and the Publisher, Mr. I.M. Publisher. Each guide provides writing tools designed to help anyone who wants to write; from the novice to the published author. This book was developed as a direct result of the authors’ years of experience, as editors and publishers and also as published authors. “From our writing workshops and interactive seminars, we gained an understanding of writers’ specific needs. We concluded that most participants were unable to take their ideas from the seedling stage to the finished story. For the most part, great story ideas would pop-up, then ultimately fizzle just from the task of getting these ideas down on paper. Workshop questionnaires and writing assignments revealed that not only aspiring writers, but also the more experienced, could benefit from learning how to properly structure their great ideas into finished stories. Once each writer could overcome their obstacles by setting realistic goals, and understanding the process through the eyes of established writers, editors and publishers, those writers stayed on track and were motivated to complete their projects. They saw the quality of their work immediately improve and were able to know how to keep writing, what to do next and even how to overcome the road blocks. When these writers followed our step-by step process they were able to see their writing projects through to completion.” This book was also used in the actual creation of a currently published novel. The “Chapter Review Maps,” show how each of the techniques benefitted the story line in, "Code 47 to BREV Force," and how any writer can put those tools to work for any story. Madry and Barish-Stern filled this book with their writing journeys’ as authors of numerous books in many different genre; as editors of hundreds of books, from their experiences with publishing unknown authors. They also were able to see the issues from a cross section of writers garnered from years of teaching classes. "How to Write Your Book," is a fun, exciting, interesting and educational way to achieve your dream of writing a book, ..."from an idea to your published story."

Book excerpt: As many places around the world confront issues of globalization, migration and postcoloniality, travel writing has become a serious genre of study, reflecting some of the greatest concerns of our time.

An ideal starting point for beginners, but also offering new perspectives for those familiar with the field, The Routledge Companion to Travel Writing examines: Key debates within the field, including postcolonial studies, gender, sexuality and visual culture Historical and cultural contexts, tracing the evolution of travel writing across time and over cultures Different styles, modes and themes of travel writing, from pilgrimage to tourism Imagined geographies, and the relationship between travel writing and the social, ideological and occasionally fictional constructs through which we view the different regions of the world. Covering all of the major topics and debates, this is an essential overview of the field, which will also encourage new and exciting directions for study.
