Book Synopsis The Time Manipulator by : John A Macdonald
Download or read book The Time Manipulator written by John A Macdonald and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-11-22 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time – what is time? If the Almighty was here before time began, then it stands to reason that he must be the maker of time and the universe, and therefore, if he wants to control time he can...if he so wishes. It also stands to reason that (God Almighty) is the only divine being that can manipulate time...Fact 1- our lives are so much controlled by the time factor. Time to anytime, to go to bed time, time for the seasons to change, time for tea. The list can go on for a very long time! Heaven has mislaid or lost a device that can control or “manipulate” time. They want it back. An evil sect called the Brotherhood also wants to get their hands on it. Time as we know it is running out fast.....
Book Synopsis Stories I Tell Myself by : Juan F. Thompson
Download or read book Stories I Tell Myself written by Juan F. Thompson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunter S. Thompson, “smart hillbilly,” boy of the South, born and bred in Louisville, Kentucky, son of an insurance salesman and a stay-at-home mom, public school-educated, jailed at seventeen on a bogus petty robbery charge, member of the U.S. Air Force (Airmen Second Class), copy boy for Time, writer for The National Observer, et cetera. From the outset he was the Wild Man of American journalism with a journalistic appetite that touched on subjects that drove his sense of justice and intrigue, from biker gangs and 1960s counterculture to presidential campaigns and psychedelic drugs. He lived larger than life and pulled it up around him in a mad effort to make it as electric, anger-ridden, and drug-fueled as possible. Now Juan Thompson tells the story of his father and of their getting to know each other during their forty-one fraught years together. He writes of the many dark times, of how far they ricocheted away from each other, and of how they found their way back before it was too late. He writes of growing up in an old farmhouse in a narrow mountain valley outside of Aspen—Woody Creek, Colorado, a ranching community with Hereford cattle and clover fields . . . of the presence of guns in the house, the boxes of ammo on the kitchen shelves behind the glass doors of the country cabinets, where others might have placed china and knickknacks . . . of climbing on the back of Hunter’s Bultaco Matador trail motorcycle as a young boy, and father and son roaring up the dirt road, trailing a cloud of dust . . . of being taken to bars in town as a small boy, Hunter holding court while Juan crawled around under the bar stools, picking up change and taking his found loot to Carl’s Pharmacy to buy Archie comic books . . . of going with his parents as a baby to a Ken Kesey/Hells Angels party with dozens of people wandering around the forest in various stages of undress, stoned on pot, tripping on LSD . . . He writes of his growing fear of his father; of the arguments between his parents reaching frightening levels; and of his finally fighting back, trying to protect his mother as the state troopers are called in to separate father and son. And of the inevitable—of mother and son driving west in their Datsun to make a new home, a new life, away from Hunter; of Juan’s first taste of what “normal” could feel like . . . We see Juan going to Concord Academy, a stranger in a strange land, coming from a school that was a log cabin in the middle of hay fields, Juan without manners or socialization . . . going on to college at Tufts; spending a crucial week with his father; Hunter asking for Juan’s opinion of his writing; and he writes of their dirt biking on a hilltop overlooking Woody Creek Valley, acting as if all the horrible things that had happened between them had never taken place, and of being there, together, side by side . . . And finally, movingly, he writes of their long, slow pull toward reconciliation . . . of Juan’s marriage and the birth of his own son; of watching Hunter love his grandson and Juan’s coming to understand how Hunter loved him; of Hunter’s growing illness, and Juan’s becoming both son and father to his father . . .

If what Lucas tells law enforcement has even a grain of truth, there isn't a woman in the state of California who's safe from the reach of an unspeakable threat.

Book Synopsis Who's Going to Look at You? by : Mark Eden
Download or read book Who's Going to Look at You? written by Mark Eden and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the evil Alan Bradley in ITV’s long-running soap Coronation Street, Mark Eden was the most hated man in Britain. Almost 27 million viewers switched on to watch him get his just deserts under the wheels of a Blackpool tram; making it the third highest viewing figure ever recorded in the UK.Now, as our senior soap opera celebrates its remarkable 50th anniversary, three-times married actor Mark Eden is publishing his enthralling autobiography. And although Alan Bradley was voted ‘Britain’s Biggest Rat’ by The Sun newspaper, Mark’s book is about much more than just his memorable time in Coronation Street.Born in 1928 – the same year as Mickey Mouse! – Mark’s extraordinary life tells of the trauma of evacuation from London at the beginning of the war, the terror of the Blitz, and his early career as a seaside fairground photographer (complete with a monkey!) before becoming an actor. He reveals how he lost his virginity at the age of 19 with an amorous night nurse while recovering from TB in hospital; and how his good looks brought success with women and early stardom on stage and screen.He worked at the Royal Court with the English Stage Company, and with the Royal Shakespeare Company and appeared in many fine films including: Seance on a wet Afternoon, Heavens Above, Attack on the Iron Coast and The L-shaped Room; and in classic TV series such as Dr Who, The Prisoner and The Saint. Mark is frank and funny about every detail of his fascinating life: his tempestuous affair with Dorothy Squires, his failed attempts to seduce Judi Dench, and being carried upstairs, dead drunk, by Peter O’Toole.Still on good terms with his two ex wives, Mark is now very happily married to the popular Coronation Street star Sue Nicholls. “She is the best thing that ever happened to me,” says Mark. “I’m a very fortunate man. At the age of 56, with two failed marriages behind me, I meet the love of my life. How lucky is that?”‘Who’s Going To Look At You?’ was Mark’s mother’s reaction when he told her he was going to become an actor. She lived to be 100 years old; long enough to learn that the answer to her question was perhaps, world wide, a billion people! Enjoy.

Sarah Johnson Editor/Publisher of FYI NORTHWOODS Presque Isle, Wisconsin Pick up this book for a fascinating journey to the America of yesterday, as seen through the eyes of real-life heroes who weren’t seeking special recognition. They just tried the best they could, meeting their responsibilities in everyday life, overseas and on the home front. By the time you finish this book, you’ll feel like they’re old friends. Not only is this unique book a very interesting read, it is also a time capsule that contains some mementoes of an era that is long gone but part of our history. Some readers may still have grandparents who recall having lived during this era; for them it will be like a walk down memory lane. For others, who are too young to recall it personally, it is a glimpse into a time that is viewed through old photographs – almost surreal but at once real and honest. Susan Johnson Copy Editor of The Rock River Times in Rockford, Illinois Rockford man compiles parents’ WWII correspondence in a book. Rockford’s James S.

Go Section of the Rockford Register Star READERS’ COMMENTS After reading every letter, I, if no other reader, have come to know Joe and Marge quite well. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you right away how much I admire your entirely worthwhile effort in transcribing these expressions of your parent’s love and affection, faith and longing. Did you ever consider “Oceans of love” as a subtitle? We’ve still not been by Crossways (Joe’s cottage in Bermuda) at a time when we weren’t rushing, but Joe’s many descriptions will be an inspiration next time the opportunity arises to take a couple of pictures and maybe knock on the door.

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Gossip Girl series brings her sharp-eyed and irresistible wit to this “quirky novel of lovable misfits” (Publishers Weekly) chronicling a year in the lives of four families in an upscale Brooklyn neighborhood as they seek purpose and community—until one unforgettable night at a raucous neighborhood party knocks them to their senses. Welcome to Cobble Hill. In this eclectic Brooklyn neighborhood, private storms brew amongst four married couples and their children. There’s ex-groupie Mandy, so underwhelmed by motherhood and her current physical state that she fakes a debilitating disease to get the attention of her skateboarding, ex-boyband member husband Stuart. There’s the unconventional new school nurse, Peaches, on whom Stuart has an unrequited crush, and her disappointing husband Greg, who wears noise-cancelling headphones—everywhere. A few blocks away, Roy, a well-known, newly transplanted British novelist, has lost the thread of his next novel and his marriage to indefatigable Wendy. Around the corner, Tupper, the nervous, introverted industrial designer with a warehouse full of prosthetic limbs struggles to pin down his elusive artist wife Elizabeth. Throw in two hormonal teenagers, a ten-year-old pyromaniac, a drug dealer pretending to be a doctor, and a lot of hidden cameras, and you’ve got a combustible mix of egos, desires, and secrets bubbling in brownstone Brooklyn. “Breezy, witty, and compulsively fun to read” (Kirkus Reviews), Cobble Hill is highly entertaining portrait of contemporary family life and the colorful characters who call Brooklyn home.
