This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural fantasy of twins imagines them as physically and behaviorally identical. Media portrayals consistently offer the spectacle of twins who share an insular closeness and perform a supposed alikeness--standing side by side, speaking and acting in unison. Treating twinship as a cultural phenomenon, this first comprehensive study of twins in American literature and popular culture examines the historical narrative--within the discourses of experimentation, aberrance and eugenics--and how it has shaped their representations in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Book Synopsis South Georgia Blues by : Don Brooklyn
Download or read book South Georgia Blues written by Don Brooklyn and published by Kissbooks, LLC. This book was released on with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanford Rome and Shelley Lester were boyhood best friends growing up in Twofer County, South Georgia. As men, they went their separate ways but stayed in touch. Now, both live in Atlanta. Stanford Rome is managing partner of his top-notch Certified Public Accounting firm of Rome, Kelsey, and Lang, CPAs. Shelley Lester is a decorated war hero, who refused to accept the Medal of Honor for “killing colored people for my country.” Now, he’s a strong-arm working exclusively for the governor. He also patrols the mean streets of Atlanta, where it’s rumored that Shelley has disappeared just as many killers and murderers during the peace in Atlanta as he killed enemy soldiers during the war in Vietnam. Four months earlier, Stanford’s wife and son were murdered in Twofer County. Despite enormous pressure from the governor and other political elites, the many investigations have stalled and wound down to one skeleton crew. But Shelley keeps doggedly hunting clues into the murders of Stanford’s wife and son—his godson. Stanford, guilt-ridden with numbing sadness, takes a leave of absence from his CPA firm to do his own investigation, if only to keep the peace with himself. Meanwhile, two women roll out battle plans to wage war on Stanford and his peace. Her name is Candice Bergens, and she’s a sniper for hire. She owns a “Styles by Candy” beauty salon in each of the eleven cities where she’s killed a man. Now she has a contract on Stanford and will kill him with her bullets and her gun. Her name is Jocelyn Slade, and she’s a WTNT-TV News evening anchor; the “darling of Atlanta’s airwaves”. She has a crush on Stanford and wants to seduce him with her sex and her charm. Jocelyn’s intelligence is matched only by her ruthlessness—and her beauty. She’s as great a danger to Stanford as the sniper. And then there’s the larger-than-life QueenBee, watching patiently, allowing law enforcement to do its thing. The law failed. Now she will do her thing. QueenBee is South Georgia royalty, the matriarch of Twofer County, and Stanford’s grandmother. QueenBee knows something about the murders no one else knows. She will find the mastermind of the murders and fetch him to Twofer County to face her kangaroo court and her brand of South Georgia payback disguised as justice. Her vengeful search starts in Chicago 800 miles away, and her search ends in the deep backwoods of Twofer County where a small plane crashed and burned--35 years ago. The characters are up to their necks in this story of unrequited love and unrequited hate, of self-deception and deceit, of bald-faced lies and half-truths, and most of all, of blind loyalty and misplaced trust. And lurking in the shadows is Frank, tiptoeing along that thin line between Jazz and South Georgia Blues.
Book Synopsis God Has Heard by : J. Osiris Baldwin
Download or read book God Has Heard written by J. Osiris Baldwin and published by Gift Horse Productions. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When God is used as a weapon, nothing is sacred. The Samuel-226 PatriotRangers are one of the most successful units in the Holy Legion of the UNAC. They have never lost a man, until one of their brothers, Twofer, disappears during a training exercise. The Host, self-proclaimed reincarnations of Christ, tell them that Twofer has been Saved and taken to Yetzirah, the promised land of the Nephilim. This, like many things the Host tells its slaves, is a lie. The leader of Samuel-226, Alpha, becomes obsessed with finding his missing soldier. Without his leadership, the medic, Mike, fights to hold the squad together as it is wracked by conspiracy and fear. As the horrific truth unfolds, the squad begins to question everything they know... but as Mike soon learns, even knowing the truth is a revolutionary act, and even if it remains unspoken, God is always listening. God Has Heard is military science-fiction told up close and personal: a dark war story of martyrdom and ultimate triumph, brotherhood and dignity in the face of total oppression. With echos of 1984 and Saving Private Ryan, it is a short, intense, thought-provoking read. If you are Christian, this book will probably offend you.
