Book Synopsis Sidewinders & Sassy Skirts by : Ron Neff Ph.D
Download or read book Sidewinders & Sassy Skirts written by Ron Neff Ph.D and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve climbed highline poles tending powerlines out on the prairies of Travis County. With his casual bravery, deep voice and that deliberate gait to his long stride, the county lineman was the ideal that other “sidewinders” looked up to. In fact, some of his friends wanted to bring back Western movies, with Steevo starring as the lead in “The Last Shootist.” Steve thought that movie talk was just “pie in the sky.” Besides, his Uncle Max had more serious plans. Max was leaving his insurance company to Steve. Built from scratch by his own efforts, that company was Max’s legacy. Unfortunately, there were other relatives who didn’t respect his wishes. Could Max’s company be saved? Sally was the star barmaid at The Rockin Wheel. Steve didn’t know where he stood with Sally. She was sweet to him one day, and nothing but sass the next. Of course, being Steevo, he had other female attention. Soon he would be caught in a love triangle between himself, Jodie Rose and Marla. Jodie Rose had been his main squeeze for years and Marla was now the executive secretary for Max’s insurance company. Something had to give. Despite Steve’s doubts, his friends had formed Silver Spurs Productions. Thanks to Christy, a talented marketing expert, they would sell thousands of shares of stock. Gunther, a widely published novelist and another member of their circle, was writing a screen play. Would Steevo soon be gracing the big screen in the role of “Dead Eye Luke?”
Download or read book Up to Alaska written by Ron Neff Ph.D and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land of The Midnight Sun was home to more majestic glaciers and mountains than any place else on earth. And to more lakes and rivers than you could probably imagine. Just how many was that? There were more than 3,000 rivers and 3,000,000 lakes in Alaska. Everything was bigger in Texas? Not hardly, Tex. Alaska was more than twice the size of Texas. It was bigger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. Its critters were larger, too. And they roamed in in a wild, unmolested wilderness. Little wonder it was now being called, “The Northern Paradise.” That still didn’t quite cover it. You almost had to visit – to grasp one other thing about “The Last Frontier.” That would be its vastness . . . the expanses of what your eyes could feast upon. It was the summer of ’32, 2032, that is. They had been fighting that damned “covid” virus down in the lower 48 states just about long enough. Besides, it was getting too damned crowded down there. They longed for open spaces. Along with adventure -- and fortune. Alaska had all of that. And more. Now, it would soon claim a motley assortment of venturesome characters from Scottsville, Iowa. Well, if they could make it. Moving “Way Up North” presented challenges.
Book Synopsis Sometimes They Came Back by : Ron Neff Ph.D
Download or read book Sometimes They Came Back written by Ron Neff Ph.D and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markus owned – and was duly proud – of a well-used, but still fast and flashy Porsche sports coupe. Was that flashy car one of the reasons that young pretty after young pretty came chasing after him? Only a freshman in college, Markus had no idea. Women were a mystery, to be sure. Albeit a welcome mystery. Sometimes he thought he’d really like to find “the one.” But what was the rush? In the meantime, this fledging undergraduate had become a collector. When one of his flames dumped him, she would often leave behind a bracelet, an earring or two, a scarf, or some other personal item. Markus would stash away any such item with care. It was a way to keep a part of every one of those lovers with him. Besides, sometimes they came back. Markus was a dreamer. He was also an incurable romantic. That’s why he stashed away every little item a lost partner might leave behind. Every one of those cuties was special to him. And maybe – just maybe – one of those special cuties would come back someday, not to claim her lost item or two. But to claim him. If only it were that simple. Love never is, of course. Instead, Markus finally had to admit that his heart had made a claim of its own.
Download or read book Post Earth written by Ron Neff Ph.D and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 2168. The earthlings now out in space, out exploring the cosmos in a variety of space craft, were in shock. Their wonderful planet dead? All of it? It couldn’t be true. But it was. A killer comet had destroyed the earth. Now they were searching the stars for new life. They were well-equipped for searching. By 2168, there were hundreds of starships and thousands of space tankers, hovercraft and other support vessels out there. NASA and The Intergalactic Command had also established bases, mines, and factories on many planets. There were other upsides, to be sure. For one, because of breakthroughs in stem cell research, the life span had been greatly extended, then extended again – until by now, 240 years was the average. But all was not rosy. After 50 years of failing to find a new planet capable of sustaining human life, some were losing faith in The Intergalactic Command. There were rumors of a civil war. Some of the starship captains had also become pirates. Yet hope sprang eternal. And there were romantic intrigues afoot, including between Captain Jennifer Keith, Commander of the Starship Ambrosia and Captain Thaddeus Wright, Commander of the Aires. But Captain Stanley Rathmell, who excelled at wormhole warfare — and entertaining mischief — would have something to say about that.
Book Synopsis Afternoons with the Blinds Drawn by : Brett Anderson
Download or read book Afternoons with the Blinds Drawn written by Brett Anderson and published by Little, Brown Book Group. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A compelling personal account of the dramas of a singular British band' Neil Tennant The trajectory of Suede - hailed in infancy as both 'The Best New Band in Britain' and 'effete southern wankers' - is recalled with moving candour by its frontman Brett Anderson, whose vivid memoir swings seamlessly between the tender, witty, turbulent, euphoric and bittersweet. Suede began by treading the familiar jobbing route of London's emerging new 1990s indie bands - gigs at ULU, the Camden Powerhaus and the Old Trout in Windsor - and the dispiriting experience of playing a set to an audience of one. But in these halcyon days, their potential was undeniable. Anderson's creative partnership with guitarist Bernard Butler exposed a unique and brilliant hybrid of lyric and sound; together they were a luminescent team - burning brightly and creating some of the era's most revered songs and albums. In Afternoons with the Blinds drawn, Anderson unflinchingly explores his relationship with addiction, heartfelt in the regret that early musical bonds were severed, and clear-eyed on his youthful persona. 'As a young man . . . I oscillated between morbid self-reflection and vainglorious narcissism' he writes. His honesty, sharply self-aware and articulate, makes this a compelling autobiography, and a brilliant insight into one of the most significant bands of the last quarter century.

Book Synopsis A Gentlemen's Guide to Style and Self-defense in the Old American West by : James M. Volo, Ph.d.
Download or read book A Gentlemen's Guide to Style and Self-defense in the Old American West written by James M. Volo, Ph.d. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old West has had a powerful impact on the concept of gentlemanly masculinity among Americans. To behave like a gentleman may mean little or much. To spend large sums of money like a gentleman may be of no great praise, but to conduct ones self like a gentleman implies a high standard even for those without financial means. For almost two centuries, the frontiersman has been a standard of rugged individualism and stoic bravery for the American male. Provider, protector, counselor, and knight errant to the weak or helpless, men on the frontier stood apart. Newspapers, Dime Novels, and Wild West Shows helped to form the popular view of Old West masculinity in the later 19th century. Novels and short stories served this purpose in the first half of the 20th century, but it was films and TV that cemented the image of the Old west that most post WWII Baby Boomers have today. The study of film and other media representations has been a particularly energetic field for masculinity research. However, western films are not so much about the West as they are about the Westerner. He stands alone, heroic, powerful, and seeking justice and order. The Westerner is the "last gentleman" and Westerns are "probably the last art form in which the concept of honor retains its strength." Directors and screenwriters, ultimately having overcome the simplistic shoot-em-up, used the genre to explore the pressing subjects of their day like racism, nationalism, capitalism, family, and honor, issues more deeply meshed with the concept of manliness than simply wearing a gun belt and Stetson hat. Fear not, Old West purists! For those traditionalists among you, these pages are filled with authentic designs, facts, weapons, and tales from the mid 1800s to the turn of the century and slightly beyond. Here are some of the roots of the most popular holsters, fashions, weapons, cartridges, and myths preferred by collectors and reenactors. So-called Cowboy Action enthusiasts, NRA members, and armchair generals will find sections of this work devoted to their hobbies, and while stodgy academics might cringe, Old West historians will have their obsessions somewhat mollified. Nonetheless, the current author grew up in the days of Shoot'em-up Saturdays at the movies, prime time TV Westerns, and those wondrous sights and sounds of Cowboy gunfights with cap guns on a hillside and Indian encounters on the pavement during a childhood when neither activity was considered politically incorrect. Few other authors in this genre have a resume that includes formal training in science, weapons, and horsemanship; nor have they actually been a horse wrangler, ridden in a troop of cavalry, and reenacted a mounted charge with dozens of others, Hollywood cameras running, revolvers or swords in hand. Nonetheless, there comes a time when we are all "too old and too fat to jump rail fences with horses" (True Grit) and must retire to our easy chairs to write. What follows is a serious (if a bit nostalgic) effort at history by a critically noted author and widely published historian with the proper credentials and practical experience to attempt to carry it off. Cling to your Bibles and to your guns, partner! Dudes need not apply.

Book Synopsis Coal Black Mornings by : Brett Anderson
Download or read book Coal Black Mornings written by Brett Anderson and published by Little, Brown Book Group. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evening Standard Book of the Year. Observer Book of the Year. Guardian Book of the Year. Sunday Times Book of the Year. Telegraph Book of the Year. New Statesman Book of the Year. Herald Book of the Year. Mojo Book of the Year. Brett Anderson came from a world impossibly distant from rock star success, and in Coal Black Mornings he traces the journey that took him from a childhood as 'a snotty, sniffy, slightly maudlin sort of boy raised on Salad Cream and milky tea and cheap meat' to becoming founder and lead singer of Suede. Anderson grew up in Hayward's Heath on the grubby fringes of the Home Counties. As a teenager he clashed with his eccentric taxi-driving father (who would parade around their council house dressed as Lawrence of Arabia, air-conducting his favourite composers) and adored his beautiful, artistic mother. He brilliantly evokes the seventies, the suffocating discomfort of a very English kind of poverty and the burning need for escape that it breeds. Anderson charts the shabby romance of creativity as he travelled the tube in search of inspiration, fuelled by Marmite and nicotine, and Suede's rise from rehearsals in bedrooms, squats and pubs. And he catalogues the intense relationships that make and break bands as well as the devastating loss of his mother. Coal Black Mornings is profoundly moving, funny and intense - a book which stands alongside the most emotionally truthful of personal stories.
