TAD by M.D. Neu6/27/2023 Of course, Doug knows nothing of Tad’s past life. Unfortunately, that runs against the rules of “heaven” and he is punished by being banished to a life on earth.ĭoug is a sweet man and takes Tad under his wing. He manipulated the events of 9/11 as much as he was able to try and save as many people as he could. The reason he is guilty is because he’s an Angel of death. Tad is on a bench, weeping, guilty over the events of 9/1. When Drag Queen and hairstylist, Doug first meets Tad it seems random. My thoughts bit: This was a sweet story about angels, fate and human nature. Simple moments, roads not taken can change the future… for everyone – Kinzie Things Just the facts: Supernatural, queer tale about life. Could these two cause the fabric of our world to collapse or will they manage to keep the future as it should? But nothing is simple when you’re dealing with a former Angel of Death and a Drag Queen. Lost and alone he ends up meeting Doug, and they start a friendship that shapes them both and may last a lifetime. When Tad pushes the boundaries of his duties too far, his wings are stripped away from him, and he is sent to New York City to live as a human. He’s an amazing drag queen and hairstylist with big dreams, but despite his witty exterior, he has a dark history and is prone to self-destruction. However, his job isn’t conducive to helping people-he’s an Angel of Death.ĭoug is a fun-loving drama queen. He loves humanity and helping when he can. The Official Description: Tad bounces around in time and watches mankind grow and change.

The secret lake by karen inglis6/26/2023 It was such a joy to reconnect with the characters again (they had been waiting very patiently!). 'Return to the Secret Lake' (for ages 8-12 and twice the length of book one) finally came out in March 2022.

In my first children's book, The Secret Lake, Stella (aged 11) and Tom (aged 8), while trying to find their elderly neighbour's missing dog, discover a time tunnel and secret lake that take them to their home and the children living there 100 years in the past. I have two boys, George and Nick (all grown up now!) who inspired me to write when they were younger.

Those who aren't obedient, notably boys A and Z and girl J, are taken to a mysterious basement room called the Corner, never to be seen again. The possible existence of God is omitted from their lessons and from the lesson-bearing novels that outside writers, including a tortured soul from Milwaukee, are paid to write. The 12-year-old Alphabet Boys and 11-year-old Letter Girls have been taught that they grew on trees. The founder of this dark experiment, Richard (aka the boys' D.A.D.), is seeking to develop geniuses by eliminating the distractions of sex. In a remote patch of forest, in old turreted towers, a group of 24 boys and another group of 25 girls, each assigned letters instead of names, are being raised as part of an experiment without knowledge of the outside world, each other, or the very existence of an opposite sex. Raffles by E.W. Hornung6/24/2023 In fact, Ernst William Hornung dedicated the first volume of Raffles stories to ‘A.C.D. There is much common in style, written in second person, the narrators being awestruck inferiors in intellect, recounting the amazing deeds of the slightly snobbish heroes. The first name of Raffles was borrowed from Arthur Conan Doyle, and the character to some extent caricatured Sherlock Holmes. The first Raffles book – The Amateur Cracksman - was published in 1899. He is a gentleman thief – to be precise, ‘an amateur cracksman’ … a la ‘amateur cricketer’ or Gentleman. He does not fix matches, but breaks safes. What’s the satisfaction of taking a man’s wicket when you want his spoons? Still, if you can bowl a bit your low cunning won’t get rusty, and always looking for the weak spot’s just the kind of mental exercise one wants.”Ī cricketer and a criminal. He explains: “Cricket is good enough sport until you discover a better. However, he himself takes incredibly little interest in the game. One of the early stories featuring Raffles is even titled Gentlemen and Players. Raffles played for the famous I Zingari team, and turns out for the Gentlemen of England against the Players. He is handsome, debonair, witty, masterful and brave. He is a dandy, with an indolent, athletic figure. Exceptional cricketer - a dangerous bat, a brilliant field and perhaps the finest slow bowler of his decade. The cello suites by eric siblin6/24/2023 To their amazement, they found Bach’s lost “Cello Suites” tucked in a dark corner. His search to learn all he can about the music leads Siblin to Barcelona, where Pablo Casals, just thirteen and in possession of his first cello, roamed the back streets with his father, in search of sheet music. Part biography, part music history, and part mystery, The Cello Suites weaves together three dramatic narratives: Bach’s composition of the suites and the manuscript’s subsequent disappearance in the eighteenth century Pablo Casals’s historic discovery of the music in Spain in the late nineteenth century, and his popularization of the suites several decades later and Siblin’s own infatuation with the suites at the dawn of the twenty-first century. So began an epic quest that would unravel three centuries of intrigue, politics, and passion. One evening, not long after ending a stint as the pop music critic at the Montreal Gazette, Eric Siblin attended a recital of Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Cello Suites.” There, something unlikely happened: he fell deeply in love with the music. |
