Download or read book Tinderbox written by Megan Dunn and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megan Dunn had lost the plot—in her life and in her art. Her attempt to write a fictional tribute to Fahrenheit 451 wasn’t going well. Her employer, the bookseller Borders, was going bust. Her marriage was failing. Her prospects were narrowing. The world wasn’t quite against her – but it wasn’t with her either. Riffing on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel about the end of reading, Tinderbox is one of the most interesting books in decades about literary culture and its place in the world. More than that, it’s about how every one of us fits into that bigger picture – and the struggle to make sense of life in the twenty-first century. Ironically enough for a book about failures in art, Tinderbox itself is a fantastic achievement: a wonderfully crafted and beautifully written work of non-fiction that is by turns brilliantly funny and achingly sad. Tinderbox is one of the most successful books about failure you will ever read. Praise for Tinderbox: ‘Megan Dunn’s writing is utterly modern, sharp, unsentimental and beautiful; she tells a gripping story laced with humour and pathos. She is a writer to watch.’ - Michèle Roberts ‘Megan Dunn possesses a rare combination of assets – a highly original voice, great subject matter, enormous insight and serious literary ambition. Plus, she’s funny. Her work leaps off the page and makes the reader want more.’ - Kate Pullinger “It’s already one of my favourite New Zealand books.” – Hera Lindsay Bird, The Spinoff “Megan Dunn is a comic genius.” – Susanna Andrew, Metro “A wonderful, restless, formally daring first book” – James Cook, Review 31 Praise for Things I Learned at Art School: “It is, quite simply, a work of brilliance. It is an intelligent, sharp, and incisive body of work.” – Lana Lopesi, Metro “Dunn has an extraordinary facility with tone, an ability to be consistently funny while telling sad stories.” – David McCooey, Sydney Review of Books. “A rich, rewarding, funny and poignant memoir.” – Sally Blundell, Academy of New Zealand Literature “Dunn takes the reader on a digressive, funny and unflinching journey through late-20th-century New Zealand.” – Paula Morris, New Zealand Listener “As Megan Dunn makes clear in her wise, witty and wonderful memoir, the seeds of a creative life will bloom in the most unexpected of places.” – Jennifer Higgie, author of The Other Side

Then the nightmares come, and visions of demons haunt him until he is nearly driven mad. Is his girlfriend playing tricks on him? Does she suspect the affair? Maybe he feels guilty about bedding a girl barely out of her teens. Or, perhaps his girlfriend decided to teach him a lesson. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it. So much to do… so little time. *** He tried to drive the thoughts of the affair from his mind. But it all came back as a fast-paced blur. …… Ashley, drunk on white wine, and depressed because her husband didn't make her feel sexy anymore, sat on the bed next to him, her blonde hair tight in a bun. "I don't know what to do," Ashley said, her voice high-pitched and scared. "I can't give you an answer about your husband, Ashley," he said. For a moment, she was silent, and then she released her bun and blonde hair spilled down her back. Standing up, she pulled off the jacket of her white crème business suit and allowed it to fall to the floor. As she unbuttoned her business shirt underneath, he watched in open mouthed horror as she allowed it to fall open and revealed her large breasts that were barely contained in a lacy black bra. He wasn't sure what to do, and he felt his body react, even if he didn't want it to. "Please do this with me," she begged. His eyes were filled with her body, and he nodded. "What about your husband?" he asked, desperate to find a reason to stop. "We shouldn't do this." She kissed him on the lips and then pulled away, her eyes gleaming. "Let's just not tell him… or Cindy. It'll be okay… our little secret."

Book excerpt: A noise sounded—footsteps on the deck. A muffled grunt. She hustled behind the truck and ducked down, held her breath. Okay, maybe this was a bad idea. The steps came closer. She felt on the ground around her and found a decent-sized stick. Wrapped her hands around it. Yep, epically stupid. It was exactly this sort of behavior that got her in over her head. But she wasn’t going to run now—not with the perp just feet away from her. She stilled, not even breathing. Heavy steps crunched through the loam and dirt around the back of the truck, and, oh— “Stop!” She leaped to her feet, holding her stick up. “Don’t come any closer!” He was a big man. Tall, wide-shouldered, wearing a gimme cap, his face shrouded in darkness. “You’re under arrest for…well, whatever you’re doing here!” He stopped and held up his hands. Then, the villain laughed. Something deep and throaty and it reached out and found her bones, seeping through them, latching on. Oh. No… She lowered her stick. Synopsis He ran from his broken heart… Seth Turnquist never thought his heart would mend after being shattered by his former love, Amelia Christiansen. But three years away from Deep Haven fighting fires as a smokejumper have burned her away, leaving fresh soil for a new love.

After Delaney Blair dropped out of med school, she still wanted to find a way to make a difference for patients ... just without a stethoscope. She now sits in the executive suite at Echo Lake's Mercy Hospital, working 60-hour weeks in an attempt to balance budgets and keep funding flowing to departments that need it most. When a budget crisis forces her to go toe-to-toe with the beloved, dedicated, and unfairly hot Dr. Joshua Mackenzie, interim head of pediatrics, she's suddenly way over her head. Josh is far too busy on the pediatric floor to take a meeting with some lunatic from the finance office who undoubtedly wants him to find more ways to get blood from the proverbial stone, so he avoids her ... until one day she shows up in his office, all sexy sweetness and bluster, and refuses to be ignored. She's full of ideas that'll never work, but he knows the only way for her to see that is for her to move her office to Pediatrics for two weeks. Then they can talk about cuts, because he knows it won't take nearly that long for her to realize there none to be made. It's only two weeks of long, long hours working at odds in small, small spaces. Surely they can last that long without getting distracted ...
