6/30/2023 0 Comments Doon by Carey CorpHer goals in life are to keep moving, find her best friend, and to remain invisible. High school sophomore Alex Grabovski is cursed with a gift: the ability to see the goodness and evil in her fellow human beings in the form of halos-rings of light or darkness-that surround the body. Can the sun-dweller and the moonwalker learn that when reality is distorted by hate and terror sometimes the only thing to truly fear is fear itself? THE WAY LIFE WAS FOREVER – a YA short story from award-winning author, Carey Corp. If they can overcome their own prejudices and discover the truth about one another before time runs out. Both labeled as undesirable by their respective kinds, a fated meeting in the forbidden forest offers Lyra and Perseus an unexpected chance at happiness.

My struggles to earn a living as a writer (it took seventeen years to get the first paycheck) are detailed in my 2002 book, THE WAR OF ART. TIDES OF WAR is on the curriculum of the Naval War College.įrom 2nd Battalion/6th Marines, which calls itself "the Spartans," to ODA 316 of the Special Forces, whose forearms are tattooed with the lambda of Lakedaemon, today's young warriors find a bond to their ancient precursors in the historical narratives of these novels. It is taught at West Point and Annapolis and at the Marine Corps Basic School at Quantico. GATES OF FIRE is on the Commandant of the Marine Corps' Reading list. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan since the first days of the invasions. Dog-eared paperbacks of this tale of the ancient Spartans have circulated throughout platoons of U.S. "No matter what happens to me for the rest of my life, no one can ever send me back to this freakin' place again."įorty years later, to my surprise and gratification, I am far more closely bound to the young men of the Marine Corps and to all other dirt-eating, ground-pounding outfits than I could ever have imagined. In January of 1966, when I was on the bus leaving Parris Island as a freshly-minted Marine, I looked back and thought there was at least one good thing about this departure. I graduated from Duke University in 1965. I was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 1943 to a Navy father and mother. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Coastal Chef by Claudine TinellisMegan Rogers is a debut novelist with impeccable credentials.

About how Ryan will send in a new page or King in Black, and it's finally like a drawing of something that we've all been thinking about, a particular moment or a scene that we've all been thinking about for almost four years now. Now we're here," Cates said in a phone interview with IGN. "It's something that we've been building to, and building to, and building to. But if this cover is any indication, we could very well see Eddie wield All-Black the Necrosword and supplant Knull as the new ruler of the symbiotes. (Image Credit: Marvel)Venom #200 isn't just the end of a multi-year story that began with 2018's Venom #1, it's also meant to usher in a brand new status quo for Eddie Brock and his symbiotic "other." Obviously, with several chapters of King in Black still to go, Marvel isn't revealing exactly what that entails. IGN can also exclusively debut the cover to Venom #200, which is scheduled for release in April 2021. Everything is a huge joke even when it’s not. Lockwood’s hyperactive self awareness – there is nothing you can throw at her that she won’t have already thought – gives her writing a wired, questioning restlessness that often bends back on itself. The election of Trump, referred to as the Dictator, is a “Gatsby was dead in the pool” moment. “My phone tells me I have a new memory,” she observes bleakly, more than once. Lockwood’s fictional avatar writes, on her compulsive participation in the collective conversation. “She had to have some say in what happened, even if it was only WHAT?” It’s a filthy, funny, strung-out prose poem that aims to capture precisely how we think and speak online and what that might mean, and it’s often both stingingly accurate and weirdly beautiful. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Generation Dead by Daniel WatersTommy's people-Mal, Karen, Sylvia, Takayuki, Tayshawn, Colette, Popeye, Melissa and the gang at the Haunted House-aren't zombies that want to eat your brains or feast on your entrails, they just want to do the same things everyone else does-create, make friends, play sports, have fun, fall in love-live.But not everyone in Oakvale-especially Reverend Mathers and his flock at One Life Ministries-is willing to stand idly by and let them do any of those things. I see dead people.and so does everyone else, because more and more teenagers who have returned from the grave are converging on the small town of Oakvale, Connecticut, inspired by the words the "voice" of Generation Dead, Tommy Williams, writes on his blog. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Codespell by Kelly McCulloughAs a hacker, Ravirn is a big believer in free will, and when he not only refuses to debug her spell but actively opposes her, all hell breaks loose.Įven with the help of his familiar Melchior, a sexy sorceress (who’s also a mean programmer), and the webgoblin underground, it’s going to be a close call…Ĭybermancy: It’s not easy getting into Hades…but it’s hell getting out. Great Aunt Atropos, one of the three Fates, decides that humans having free will is really overrated and plans to rid herself of the annoyance– by coding a spell into the Fate Core, the server that rules destiny. But a world of problems is about to be downloaded on Ravirn– who’s just trying to pass his college midterms. Now that twenty-first-century magic has gone digital that makes him a very talented sorcerer. A child of the Fates– literally– he’s a hacker extraordinaire who can zero in on the fatal flaw in any program. Ravirn is not your average computer geek. WebMage: Even magic has to keep up with the times. 6/27/2023 0 Comments Empty mansions huguette clarkDedman and Newell tell a fairy tale in reverse: the bright, talented daughter, born into a family of extreme wealth and privilege, who secrets herself away from the outside world. Though she owned palatial homes in California, New York, and Connecticut, why had she lived for twenty years in a simple hospital room, despite being in excellent health? Why were her valuables being sold off? Was she in control of her fortune, or controlled by those managing her money?ĭedman has collaborated with Huguette Clark’s cousin, Paul Clark Newell, Jr., one of the few relatives to have frequent conversations with her. At its heart is a reclusive heiress named Huguette Clark, a woman so secretive that, at the time of her death at age 104, no new photograph of her had been seen in decades. Empty Mansions is a rich mystery of wealth and loss, connecting the Gilded Age opulence of the nineteenth century with a twenty-first-century battle over a $300 million inheritance. When Pulitzer Prize –winning journalist Bill Dedman noticed in 2009 a grand home for sale, unoccupied for nearly sixty years, he stumbled through a surprising portal into American history. I especially loved the way Nadya and Malachiasz crashed into each other, as it’s a rare thing to see in YA. These dynamics were my favourite part of the novel. Serefin struggles to reconcile the boy he grew up alongside with the monster he became. Nadya is torn between her love for him, his betrayal, and her love for her country. Nadya and Serefin’s respective relationships to Malachiasz become the driving force of the novel. With Serefin in tow, they both have to save their countries and confront what Malachiasz has become. However, this fragile peace the three have created quickly shatters when Nadya is forced to flee the capital. Serefin is now king while Nadya remains in the Travanian capital and Malachiasz is formally commanding the Vultures. Duncan picks up a few months after the end of the last book. The voices that Serefin hears in the darkness, the ones that Nadya believes are her gods, the ones that Malachiasz is desperate to meet - those voices want a stake in the world, and they refuse to stay quiet any longer. They’re pieces on a board, being orchestrated by someone… or something. As their group is continually torn apart, the girl, the prince, and the monster find their fates irrevocably intertwined. Malachiasz is at war with who - and what - he’s become. Serefin is fighting off a voice in his head that doesn’t belong to him. Duncan went above and beyond in its delivery.ĭarkness never works alone… Nadya doesn’t trust her magic anymore. I expected a lot after Wicked Saints and Ruthless Gods by Emily A. |
