Now Available on DVD In No Great Hurry - 13 Life Lessons With Saul Leiter I wanted to understand life “below stairs” as well as life “upstairs” lived by the aristocratic class. I took two trips to England to research this series and spent hours reading books about the time period, customs, and issues in Edwardian England. That’s how I usually find the characters and events in my stories. What kind of research was required for the book? The titles of the novels in the Edwardian Brides Series are The Governess of Highland Hall, The Daughter of Highland Hall, and A Refuge at Highland Hall, which releases October 20, 2015. The ideas for the characters and plots rose out of my research and the issues I didn’t know much about Edwardian England, but I jumped into the research, and fell in love with the time period. Wealthy family as well as the loyal servants. I’d enjoyed watching the first season of Downton, and I especially liked the way the screenwriter gave equal time to developing the storyline of the H historical romance series set in the same time period as Downton Abbey. I spoke to an editor there and asked what she was looking for. How did you come up with the idea for this series?Įarly in 2012 I attended the American Library Association Conference in Philadelphia with aut Read the post, and at the end, you’ll have a chance to win a copy of the book if you live in the U.S. If you’re a Downton Abbey fan, you’ll love her books. Welco me Carrie Turansky to The Story behind the Story. What would “1984” be like if Winston Smith had an endearing personality? Crane’s book gives us a disarming model for life under surveillance. The narration is addressed to the deceased Beau: “The kid’s only saving grace is her widow’s peak,” Kris explains when the baby keeps her awake. The novel is episodic, and Crane plays with form by threading in pop quizzes and Kris’s somber facts about animals in captivity. Surrounded by the flotsam left behind by her dead wife, Beau, the grief-stricken Kris must learn how to raise their child. For Kris and her baby, the shadows further marginalize their family unit, which stands out in a society where queer people seem, at best, only tolerated. They are relegated to picked-over food at the grocery store they wait longer for health care they endure the rough treatment from “NoShads.” There are no prisons in this America control is maintained by these punitive extra shadows and via in-home cameras. “Shadesters,” whose extra shadows flag them as people who have done harm, are marked for ostracism for even minor accidents or unintentional wrongs. A sinister entity called the Department of Balance issues this unwitting killer baby a second shadow, and she joins her remaining mother, Kris - the narrator of Marisa Crane’s debut novel, “I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself” - in an inferior and suspect class. In a sunny corner of America, not too far in the future, a baby is born as one of her two mothers, her birth mother, draws her last breath.

They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. She used to work for the US government, but very few people ever knew that. In this gripping thriller, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life. Lucy finds Narnia covered in snow her first time through the wardrobe. From Lucy’s first solo journey through the wardrobe to the world on the other side, there is the sense that Lewis has created a world that is in dire need of deliverance. The religious symbolism Lewis employs throughout the novel is pointed and ubiquitous. In contrast, a world that embraces Christlike values-turning the other cheek, honoring promises, and making sacrifices for others-will be full, bountiful, and prosperous. Through the character of Aslan, and his role in Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy’s story, Lewis created an allegory for the triumph of Christian ideology, and used The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to subtly suggest that a world that rejects Christianity will be a poorer one marked by strife, suffering, and a literal winter of the soul. Lewis, however, did not set out to write a biblical allegory rather, he wanted to imbue a fairy story with elements of the story of the Jesus Christ in order to allow children to see the miraculous elements of Christ’s story in a new light-and perhaps relate to them anew and understand their wonder more deeply. Lewis, a devout Christian, suffused his most famous work, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with overt Christian symbolism and structured its conclusion around the resurrection of a Christ figure and a climactic battle for the very soul of Narnia. While the focus of the book is on Nimoy’s Star Trek career, he also takes time to explore his other works, including directing and theatre acting. Negative fan reaction to the title gave Nimoy the idea for the title of the second volume. At that time Nimoy had sought to distance his own personality from that of the character of Spock, although he nonetheless remained proud of his time on the show. The book’s title was a reference to the first volume of his autobiography, I Am Not Spock, which had been published in 1975. The book was published in 1995, four years after the release of the last Star Trek motion picture starring the entire original cast, and covers the majority of Nimoy’s time with Star Trek in general and Mr. I Am Spock is the second volume of actor and director Leonard Nimoy’s autobiography. While his wife went to fetch it, Farquhar asked about the news regarding the situation. The story recalls how he came to the near-death position: he and his wife were at home when a soldier rode by asking for water. It’s here that we learn the name of the main character, the one standing at the edge of the bridge: Peyton Farquhar, a planter from Alabama who is also a politician dedicated to the Southern cause of the American Civil War. We then move to the second section of the story. But just as those thoughts cross his mind, the sergeant signals for the hanging to begin. He thinks of an idea- freeing his hands and untying the noose, diving into the water to evade any bullets. In his last moments, he closes his eyes and imagines escaping from these clutches and returning home to his wife and children. We learn that the man on the ledge, ready to be hanged, is a thirty-five year old civilian who seems to work in a plantation. Spectators seems to be facing the bridge, with the captain sternly crossing his arms and awaiting the proceedings. Below him is a stream and around him stand his executioners- soldiers of the Federal army- with their weapons and guns pointed down.
