5/13/2023 0 Comments The Virtuoso by Grace BurrowesIf you try too hard or too soon to regain it, you’ll make the hand worse than ever.” Not just days, not just weeks, and by then you will have lost some of the dexterity you hone so keenly now. The hand might heal but only if you rest it until you’re ready to scream with frustration. “You are possibly done with music for the rest of your life, my friend. Silence, until Val opened his eyes and glanced down at where his left hand, aching and swollen, lay uselessly on his thigh.ĭavid sat beside him, making a polite pretense of surveying the surrounding paddocks and fields. He closed his eyes and drew breath into his lungs by act of will. To give up the home he’d forged for his soul despite his ducal father’s ridicule, his mother’s anxiety, and his siblings’ inability to understand what music had become to him. To give up the one mistress Val loved, the one place he was happy and competent. Being called the baby boy any time he’d shown the least tender sentiment had fired his will to the strength of iron and given him the ability to withstand almost any blow without flinching.īut this… This was diabolical, this demand David made of him. Being the youngest of five boys and named Valentine-for God’s sake-had given him fast reflexes, abundant muscle, and an enviable poker face. Lord Valentine Windham neither moved nor changed his expression when he heard his friend-a skilled and experienced physician-pronounce sentence. “My best advice is to give up playing the piano.”

Cover of the 1962, 1st edition of Silent Spring (right). Rachel Carson as an employee for the U.S. Carson revealed to readers how pesticides, including suspected carcinogens, indiscriminately killed insects and plants, while also accumulating in water, soil, and the bodies of fish, birds, and people. Instead, Carson’s “Fable for Tomorrow”-extrapolated from four years of research-warned how excessive pesticide use ravaged birds, annihilated bees, and sickened the town’s inhabitants. Carson hooked readers by describing a fictional town where spring no longer marked the singing of birds, the buzzing of bees, or the laughter of children. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring shocked the American public when it was published in the summer of 1962. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Heartmate robin d owensOwens (Author) 184 ratings Book 5 of 15: Celta Heartmates See all formats and editions Kindle 7.99 Read with Our Free App Audiobook 0.

It is also currently streaming on Amazon and Netflix. It’s uplifting, empowering and intriguingly retold in Tab Hunter Confidential (2015), a new documentary directed by Jeffrey Schwarz that was recently released on DVD and Blu-ray. Tab Hunter’s story is a survivor’s story. Stories about celebrities who endure great personal and professional hardship but manage to survive and thrive into comfortable old age tend to sell fewer magazines. For better or worse, we obsess over stories of fallen stars who died while they were still young and beautiful as well as those who died violently or wasted away in obscurity. The violent murders of Sharon Tate and Sal Mineo generate more press and web articles than the body of work they left behind while the estates of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean continue to benefit from our endless fascination with early death by misadventure. 5/13/2023 0 Comments The apothecary diaries 7The publisher Shufunotomo acquired the series and then published it on their Ray Books imprint as a novel with a single volume on September 26, 2012.

5/13/2023 0 Comments Wicked Heat by Mila YoungMy attention drifted to the pile of unwashed dishes in the sink and the browning curtain. She smacked her lips with gum, and I wiped away the perspiration rolling down my neck. I was sweating up a storm sitting in her trailer and the lack of ventilation made it damn hard to concentrate. But the least she could have done was open a window or switch on the fan. This was the first time I’d been booked to tell her future. She’d hired me after one of my regulars had spoken highly of my services. You’d be surprised how often such gestures calmed people. My life was shitty enough to know everyone had skeletons in their closet. Maybe she was used to seeing people high on drugs or having so-called episodes. Are you doing my reading or are you having an episode? She chewed on gum, her exaggerated blinking accompanying her tapping fingernails on the table between us. You’ve been sitting there for ages staring into space. H ello? Mars to Sephy? Misty’s Southern drawl sliced through my thoughts, and I refocused on her. |
