Cindy brandner exit unicorns series7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() That is part of what I love about the writing process though- that I never know just where the story will take me when I begin to write each book.Ħ. Which leads to me getting some real surprises along the way. I really just allow the characters to tell their story and that dictates the direction the story takes, as well as the direction of the secondary story lines. I use the historical timeline as my framework and the rest is a very organic process for me. I had great friends there, and the craic is second to none.ĥ. Since then I have gone back three times and I love Belfast. I did make some adjustments to the manuscript when I arrived home, but they were minor. ![]() When I arrived and started to travel around I was amazed to find that it was just as I had pictured it. I went before it was published, however, because I wanted to be sure I had things right. I had written the first book before ever going to Ireland. Your words present such vivid mental pictures of Ireland, I felt like I was back in Belfast (I have friends there), did you spend a lot of time there in order to write the book? ![]() The Aftermath by Kay Simone7/8/2023 ![]() His growing relationship with Charity is a threat to her, so Kay has been doing everything to get rid of Charity, knowing she is her cousin.

The illustrations really make this book, but the accompanying story is informative and interesting too, though very sparse. I rewrite them three times over three days, and then they're done." She writes about twenty books a year. "I write books very quickly," she says, "in about twelve hours. ![]() So I decided to write my own books." Since then, she has written several hundred books, mostly picture books and easy-to-read books.

In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. In Gregory Hays's new translation-the first in thirty-five years-Marcus's thoughts speak with a new immediacy. For anyone who struggles to reconcile the demands of leadership with a concern for personal integrity and spiritual well-being, the Meditations remains as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago. ![]() Marcus's insights and advice-on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others-have made the Meditations required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Few ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and emperor of Rome (A.D. Nearly two thousand years after it was written, Meditations remains profoundly relevant for anyone seeking to lead a meaningful life. ![]() Slated by Teri Terry7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Someone close to her may be one of them, and even more frighteningly, her birth mother has been keeping secrets of her own.

(Yay for the kids sleeping out!) Piece of advice ladies: I was smart enough to keep what I was reading private, because knowing my husband, we would have had some shrinkage, had he known. Try by Ella Frank turned out to be the hottest book I have read all year! How crazy is that? I didn’t even think I liked m/m! I mean, the book took me like 4 days to read, because every time I got in bed to read, within 5 minutes, I needed some relief, and luckily, my husband was always around to oblige. But I have also read all of Ella Frank’s books, and loved every hot story she has written, so I figured if anyone can do m/m right, it’s Ella. ![]() ![]() Usually a book turns me on because, well, I’m picturing myself in place of the heroine. They have been OK, but the m/m never really got me going. I want to say right off the bat, that I have read a few m/m books, but usually they were part of a series, weren’t human, or part of a menage. ![]() Dion and gobi7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() You can follow along with Gobi and Dion on their Facebook pages, Finding Gobi and Dion Leonard Extreme Runner. And one act of kindness where I picked Gobi up, I took her across the river crossing throughout the race, really connected and our bond was formed, and that was the moment that really changed both of our lives forever.” “All of this came about because of one act of kindness. Though their next move is uncertain, one thing is clear - Gobi will always be there, ready for the adventure. “We’re very lucky here, we’ve got such great trails, across the border in Cloudland Canyon, in Georgia, and also trails around here in Chattanooga, where we’re staying.” ![]() Now, traveling across the United States speaking to readers, Leonard, his wife, and Gobi are spending some time in Chattanooga - waiting out the coronavirus pandemic while exploring the area. The little dog not only made it, but kept following, and on the pair’s second day together, she snuggled up to sleep with her new friend. He was even more surprised when she kept up with a full day’s 25 kilometer run. The book’s massive worldwide success is a turn of events Leonard says he never could have imagined during a difficult childhood: “To be out on the streets with absolutely nothing, if you’d have told me then that I’d have a New York Times Bestseller, and a film deal with 20th Century Fox and Disney, I’d have never believed it.” Dion Leonard was surprised to find a stray dog at his heels in the middle of a grueling 250 kilometer race known as The Gobi March. ![]() |
