Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laguna Beach, 1973. Hal’s life as a liberated gay men has not gone all that well, and after a devastating relationship, he sees nothing but gloom, hard work and abuse from his restaurant job. He wallows in self-pity in the darkened rooms of his house, and only reluctantly rents out the spare room to the ebullient Mike whose sunny disposition brings Hal up out of despair. When Mike meets Tom who moves in too, Hal gratefully feels almost like a parent, as if he has a family to care for. Then he meets Simon with whom he falls in love after a steamy, erotic night together, and that phenomenon of gay life, the gay family, becomes a reality. Even the selfish and cruel Denise, owner of the restaurant where they all work, has little effect on their life together, but it is not a life without issues. Who is the Lurker spying on their house? Will Eric’s plan to snatch Jean-Jacques’ restaurant succeed? Can Carl finally figure out his sexuality? Can Norman keep his housewarming party a secret from Dan and why would he want to? Find out who next will drop into the warm and hospitable House on Shadow Lane for a breakfast chat, good food, and genuine friendship. REVIEW of The House on Shadow Lane: Peopled with such interesting and varied characters, the plot of The House on Shadow Lane required a skillful hand to keep events moving at its almost frantic pace while remaining believable. As Robert Heylmun weaves the lives of his characters into the nap of his plot, their connections produce the complicated, even twisted, events that make the novel so intriguing. How, the reader wonders, will the romance developing between Hal and Simon survive the challenges they face? How will Carl, who is "in love two people of different genders" decide? While readers have likely never know such characters or situations, the author ́s ingenious interplay cements the reader ́s interest. As a result, readers will likely share on finishing The House on Shadow Lane, a "joyful sense of loss" that paradoxically occurs whenever I finish a novel I have much enjoyed. Good stories like this leave the reader to ponder what will happen next to those characters. I knew I would like this book. –Michael Dryden

Download or read book The House on 666 Shadow Lane written by Chuck Hughes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horror comes in many flavors: Frankenstein, Dracula, ghosts, zombies, delusion, hallucinations, phobias. Then there’s The House on 666 Shadow Lane. For a hundred years, the house stood proud, harboring devoted families like the Carsons, the Smiths, the Marshals, the Hendersons, and dozens of other proud owners who called it home. Lawns mowed to perfection; pampered gardens of roses, dahlias, azaleas, and violets added to the house’s pride. Overnight, pride turned to shame. Sunny days that once invited friendly shadows now gave way to darkness and repugnance. Green lawns turned brown; elegant flowers withered and died. Tall maple limbs that once danced in the wind to show their wealth of green leaves now dripped blood that replaced the sugars and salts needed to give them life. Now lifeless, the limbs morphed into tortuous, deformed hands with twisted fingers. All because The House on Shadow Lane knew HE was coming. Hughes’ other novels are THE MAFIA and JONNY BLUE, THE WEDJAT, MULBERRY STREET, CRAVEN, EXODUS CONSPIRACY, and DARCY MILLER.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shadow Lane presents an exquisite photo album depicting the art of spanking in the 21st century. A spanking video production company and publishing house since the late 1980's, Shadow Lane is headed by Eve Howard, a former spanking model, editor of both "Spank Hard" and "Stand Corrected" magazines and author of the Shadow Lane novel series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spring is dead. Summer is divided. Autumn has its darkness...and Winter waits. In the wake of Dealla's latest atrocity, Macsen has learned a lesson he will never forget. To love is to fear, and he intends to make sure that his fear never comes to pass. Bran is less than pleased with being left behind while Macsen hunts Dealla, but he has trouble of his own to distract him. An unknown ability is growing in him—magic that has nothing of Summer in it. Disturbed, Bran convinces Macsen to come with him to question his mother. Only she knows who Bran's father is, and the secret half of his bloodline is the most likely source of his new power. Elenn agrees to Bran's request, but for her own reasons. Faelan, one of the gancanagh, is to be Bran's guide to his father, and she has ordered him to seduce the Red King and prove his love false. Faelan has no desire to follow through, but also no choice. His queen has commanded, and he must obey. Macsen and Bran aren't the only lovers whose feelings are being put to the test. After five thousand years of separation, Myrddin has no choice but to accept Kas' help in restoring the spring and its rite to the mortal world. The difficulty is that he wants Kas to desire him for himself, not out of necessity, and the whole of reality is standing in his way. Where is the line that divides determination from desire? Love is power—but is it enough?

Download or read book Little House Long Shadow written by Anita Clair Fellman and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2008-05-21 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond their status as classic children’s stories, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books play a significant role in American culture that most people cannot begin to appreciate. Millions of children have sampled the books in school; played out the roles of Laura and Mary; or visited Wilder homesites with their parents, who may be fans themselves. Yet, as Anita Clair Fellman shows, there is even more to this magical series with its clear emotional appeal: a covert political message that made many readers comfortable with the resurgence of conservatism in the Reagan years and beyond. In Little House, Long Shadow, a leading Wilder scholar offers a fresh interpretation of the Little House books that examines how this beloved body of children’s literature found its way into many facets of our culture and consciousness—even influencing the responsiveness of Americans to particular political views. Because both Wilder and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, opposed the New Deal programs being implemented during the period in which they wrote, their books reflect their use of family history as an argument against the state’s protection of individuals from economic uncertainty. Their writing emphasized the isolation of the Ingalls family and the family’s resilience in the face of crises and consistently equated self-sufficiency with family acceptance, security, and warmth. Fellman argues that the popularity of these books—abetted by Lane’s overtly libertarian views—helped lay the groundwork for a negative response to big government and a positive view of political individualism, contributing to the acceptance of contemporary conservatism while perpetuating a mythic West. Beyond tracing the emergence of this influence in the relationship between Wilder and her daughter, Fellman explores the continuing presence of the books—and their message—in modern cultural institutions from classrooms to tourism, newspaper editorials to Internet message boards. Little House, Long Shadow shows how ostensibly apolitical artifacts of popular culture can help explain shifts in political assumptions. It is a pioneering look at the dissemination of books in our culture that expands the discussion of recent political transformations—and suggests that sources other than political rhetoric have contributed to Americans’ renewed appreciation of individualist ideals.

In honor of the team's 100th anniversary, Beech paints compelling pictures of a franchise, a town, and a fan base-- from the days of the French fur traders who settled on the shores of La Baie in the seventeenth century, to the team's pursuit of its fourteenth NFL championship. -- adapted from jacket
