Download or read book Mary Lou s Brew written by Jennifer Craig and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mary Lou stirs up her brew, she spells trouble for the Dean of the Academy of Sophists: just one more problem when the future of the Academy is in jeopardy, faculty members vanish, an assistant causes a unique traffic jam, lab creatures escape, and a disenchanted junior professor tries to alter the Dean’s Gravity Quotient. Rooted in ancient Greek culture, the Dean’s Academy of Sophists contributes to humanity in its own whacky way, using ancient practices similar to witchcraft, but with a scientific basis. Although Sophistry and witchcraft parted ways in the fifteenth century, the Dean must defend the Academy against those who see these goings-on as decidedly witchy—with hilarious results. Mary Lou’s Brew is a humorous social and academic commentary for adults of all ages and is not to be taken seriously. It is written by a Yorkshire woman who knows her science and her brews.

With the Lenten season fast approaching, Sister Louise “Lou” LaSalle looks forward to a final day of indulgence before giving up her favorite sweets. But one Briar Coast resident won’t get the chance to repent. Opal Lorrie, the mayor’s director of finance, was just found in the parking lot of the Board of Ed--with a broken neck. The sheriff’s deputies are calling the apparent slip-and-fall a freak accident. But Opal was driving her boss’s car and wearing her boss’s red wool coat. Mayor Heather Stanley has been receiving threatening letters and is clearly the real target. Offering her sanctuary could put the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Hermione of Ephesus at risk, but how can Sister Lou turn her back on a neighbor in need? Aided by her loyal sleuthing partners—her well-connected nephew Chris and reporter Shari Henson—Sister Lou must confront the mayor’s myriad detractors during this critical election year. And as the first day of April nears, it’s up to her to unmask an unrepentant killer who has everyone fooled.

Book excerpt: What really goes on behind the scenes in the mysterious world of community theatre? Dreamcast is a look at the most underpaid volunteers on the planet, those who serve the muse of live theatre in the small towns and suburbs of America. A local amateur production of "The Sound of Music" unleashes vengeful nuns, a Korean beer connoisseur, a randy director, a flamboyant choreographer, an obsessive stalker, a brat who knows all the songs from "Wicked" and a pot-smoker who lives in a public bathroom. Love/life, comedy/drama, mayhem, backstage drama and onstage triumph are all here for the price of admission to Dreamcast. This is my first novel and it is on a subject very dear to my heart. I have been doing community theatre since the age of 9. Why do I keep doing it? I don't get paid, in fact it costs me money. The glory is fleeting and the hours are awful. I wrote this book in part to answer that question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant first novel by Jeff Farrell, grandson of literary juggernaut James T. Farrell.

Meet the gentle, but developmentally disabled maintenance worker who had spent the formative years of his life being beaten by his resentful, racist mother. Meet the prostitute who falls in love, despite the irony of the concept. Meet the two brothers who run a local rendering plant and are just pure evil. And meet two twenty-something couples living together in an apartment, struggling with drugs, loss and each-other. Then hold on as everything crashes together, then crumbles in the end to all start the cycle over again.
Download or read book From Beer to Paternity written by Gerry Burke and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people don't have retentive memories, so verbalizing your opinions can sometimes be an historical nightmare: especially when beer is involved. That is why I have recorded the preceding pages for posterity. It is a bit of a guy thing but I am sure that women will love it. In all modesty, these essays and articles are all about me but I would be surprised if some of them didn't resonate with your own arsenal of memories. My shallow life is trivial but not uninteresting. You may recognize a like-minded soul? If so, we are well on the way to being book-buddies. My narratives are laced with wit and humor and revolve around the issues that you care about: relationships, animals, travel, sport stories and some celebrity revelations that you will find almost unbelievable. I commend the publication to you and urge you to consider it, when contemplating Birthdays, Christmas and Bar Mitzvahs. Gerry Burke Melbourne, Australia

Download or read book The Man with the Iron Heart written by Harry Turtledove and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2009-07-28 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if V-E Day hadn’t ended World War II in Europe? What if, instead, the Allies had to face a potent, even fanatical, postwar Nazi resistance? Such a movement, based in the fabled Alpine Redoubt, was in fact a real threat, ultimately neutralized by Germany’s flagging resources and squabbling officials. But had SS Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, the notorious Man with the Iron Heart, not been assassinated in 1942, fate might have taken a different turn. In this imagined world, Nazi forces launch a guerrilla war, using the quick and dirty tactics of terrorism to overturn what seemed to be a decisive victory. Suddenly the Allies–especially the United States–are mired in a long, seemingly unwinnable conflict while battling an invisible, unrelenting enemy.

Download or read book Party Line written by Peter Luber and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter A. Luber's second novel explores the abyss that looms just a few missteps off every traveler's path. Party Line peers into its darkness over the shoulders of seven uniquely linked, often troubled, and occasionally heroic souls. Despite their variety of personality and routes taken toward despair, the seven share an opportunity to tiptoe clear of a long, dark fall, provided they forget themselves and work together toward real peace. Party Line portrays these penultimate moments by looking out from within each character, through their dreams. Each chapter is a disturbingly familiar leap into the nightly journeys of Lou, Alice, and five other people. The splash of their adventures both transcends their mundane daily lives and provides adventure and symbolic experience that cannot be found anywhere else. Party Line can be read from page one as a narrative (best done in one sitting, which may happen), but also can be opened randomly for a very different reading experience.

Book excerpt: “A book that is at once riveting and relevant as it unpeels the various meanings of motherhood, family, and loyalty. I tore through it.”—Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace The bonds between three picture-perfect—but viciously protective—mothers and their close-knit sons are tested during one unforgettable summer in a gripping novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters. Austin’s Zilker Park neighborhood is a wonderland of greenbelt trails, live music, and moms who drink a few too many margaritas. Whitney, Annette, and Liza have grown thick as thieves as they have raised their children together for fifteen years, believing that they can shelter them their children from an increasingly dangerous world. Their friendship is unbreakable—as safe as the neighborhood where they've raised their sweet little boys. Or so they think. One night, the three women have been enjoying happy hour when their boys, lifeguards for the summer, come back on bicycles from a late-night dip in their favorite swimming hole. The boys share a secret—news that will shatter the perfect world their mothers have so painstakingly created. Combining three mothers’ points of view in a powerful narrative tale with commentary from entertaining neighborhood listservs, secret text messages, and police reports, The Lifeguards is both a story about the secrets we tell to protect the ones we love and a riveting novel of suspense filled with half-truths and betrayals, fierce love and complicated friendships, and the loss of innocence on one hot summer night.
