![]() ![]() And in the pirate captain himself, she begins to see someone far more complex than the storybook villain. ![]() From the glamour of the Fairy Revels, to the secret ceremonies of the First Tribes, to the mysterious underwater temple beneath the Mermaid Lagoon, the magical forces of the Neverland open up for Stella as they never have for Hook. But everything changes when Stella Parrish, a forbidden grown woman, dreams her way to the Neverland in defiance of Pan's rules. ![]() Meet Captain James Benjamin Hook, a witty, educated Restoration-era privateer cursed to play villain to a pack of malicious little boys in a pointless war that never ends. It's my fate to be trapped here forever, in a nightmare of childhood fancy, with that infernal, eternal boy." The wicked pirate captain is flung overboard, caught in the jaws of the monster crocodile who drags him down to a watery grave. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the story of Erik “Ripper” Jacobs, the Hell’s Horsemen sergeant at arms, and Danielle “Danny” West, the Horsemen’s president’s daughter. The Undeniable series is like crack of the worst best kind, but instead of killing you, it invigorates your imagination, it takes you out of your comfort zone, slaps you a few times for good measure and it pushes the limits of everything you ever believed a romance novel should be like. I am convinced that either Ms Sheehan has some Jedi Master mind tricks up her sleeve that we don’t know about, or these books have subliminal messages in them because that is the only explanation I can offer my super-confused brain to justify this intense level of enjoyment on my part given the themes and the crudity and explicitness of the scenes in them. I had become somewhat reluctantly but nevertheless hopelessly addicted to Ms Sheehan unique brand of gritty romances – her stories, more than any others I have ever read, have the power to completely disconnect me from reality and, in what I can only explain as an out-of-body experience, make me feel everything I would never feel in real life. ![]() After reading Undeniable a few months ago, its sequel had become one of the most anticipated reads of the year for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She had the pleasure of additional grandchildren joining the family when Katelyn, Meg, Logan, and Griffin were born in the 2000s, too. That family grew even more when she became a grandma during the eighties as grandchildren, Bob, Chad, Michael, Quinn and Michelle, arrived. Her family expanded with the marriages of her children and Bob, Eileen, Connie, Becky and Phil joined. Monica Cathedral in 1953, they started a family in which children Debbie, Bob, Jeff, Doug and Jen, took center stage.

Residing much of her life on the westside of the city, Jean attended St. As they would be for the remainder of her life, her family and her faith were important parts of her identity from the beginning.Īlong the way, she became known as Jean. Larry was born nearly a decade later and completed the family. ![]() Mary "Jean" Schulten was born on Jto parents, Lawrence "Pete" and Sylvia, joining older sister Audrey. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, Hansen manages to keep the books from becoming dated. ![]() Fadeout begins with a preface by Hansen (written a few months before his death at age 81), which succinctly traces the origin of the pioneering detective series set in Southern California, featuring, according to Hansen's obituary in the Los Angeles Times, "the first major gay protagonist in the mystery genre."Īlthough quite enjoyable, the books are a product of their time, and the reader is transported to the early 1970's with references to hippies, love-ins, the fuzz (the police), phonograph records, bellbottom dungarees, young people whose motto was "never trust anybody over thirty," and electric typewriters. ![]() The University of Wisconsin Press has reissued the recently deceased Hansen's first two novels in the 12-volume series: Fadeout (1970) and Death Claims (1973). 1 His father owned a shoe store in Aberdeen, but it closed during the Great Depression. Life and works edit Hansen was born on July 19, 1923, in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Zimmerman's Todd Mills, or Mark Richard Zubro's Paul Turner, there was Joseph Hansen's Dave Brandstetter, the very masculine, self-assured, openly gay, highly cultured (he likes classical music and avant-garde films) middle-aged claims investigator for the Medallion Life Insurance Company.

His father, Lawrence Walker, died a year later. Sharon Benjamin-Hodo passed away on May 28, 2013, one day after André’s 38th birthday. ![]() It’s the kind of simple, beautiful memory that becomes bittersweet when ladened with the ache of loss. André and his mother enjoyed those tapes together. He remembered that his late mother, Sharon Benjamin-Hodo, once bought Baker cassettes off a guy who regularly passed through the nail salon she worked at with boxes full of them. He wasn’t, of course, talking directly about those things, but rather about the line of hand-drawn, bootleg Anita Baker merch he’d recently made. About halfway through an interview published in GQ in October, André 3000 blithely talked about mending himself and satisfying guilt. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sick refuses to be the kind of illness memoir many people might want, or at least expect. Is it because those narratives are often written by women? And other marginalized groups? Is it because our culture is quick to dismiss as unimportant the kind of suffering that doesn't have a clear beginning, middle, and end, with a perfect victim at its center? "Courage" is a good word to associate with this memoir it's a word that can feel overused when it comes to personal narratives, although it's important to question why it feels overused. I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t in some sort of physical or mental pain, but usually both." We're talking about her new memoir, Sick, in which she chronicles her experience with Lyme disease, addiction, anxiety, and the fact that, as she writes in the book, she has "been sick my whole life. "I often tell people it’s an act of courage to even put your story out there," Porochista Khakpour tells me over the phone. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, ![]() Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turnsĭriven time and again off course, once he had plundered Had reached their homes at last, delivered Judge for yourself if you think it works: To achieve the kind of speed that Bates felt was characteristic of the original, he used a verse form that is not what most think of when they think of long narrative poetry. The English language seems best suited to iambs. (Think of the opening of Longfellow's Evangeline-and if Longfellow was anything, he was a highly skilled versifier). ![]() Classical Greek is lighter and the way the accents fall permit great speed of line, whereas in English the initial stress followed by two weak syllables is plodding in comparison. To most, that makes it NOT a "faithful" translation.īut as Bates pointed out in his introduction, Homer's dactylic hexameters make for heavy lines in English. The other reason is that it is versified in iambic tetrameter (horrors! not even good English iambic pentameter, let alone Homer's "rolling" hexameters). It is unfortunately abridged that is one of the reasons it isn't seriously considered today. To comment further, especially in light of my third criteria above, I have to say that the version of The Odyssey I find most pleasurable to read is one that is flatly rejected by most scholars and critics today, Herbert Bates' school edition in verse. ![]() ![]() ![]() Are Todd and Viola in love?ĪggViola Eade is a settler on New World and one of the main protagonists of the Chaos Walking novels alongside Todd Hewitt. Especially since we’d have to hear all his cranky thoughts, too, in addition to his words. He’s not a jerk or anything, but we definitely would not want to get stuck in a broken elevator with him, or be around him after he failed a test. So let’s face it: As far as heroes go, Todd is on the cranky end of the spectrum. What is Todd like in The Knife of Never Letting Go? ![]() 6 What does viola wear in the knife of Never Letting Go?.5 What does Todd wear in the knife of Never Letting Go?.4 Where does Viola come from in Chaos Walking?.3 How old is Todd Hewitt in chaos walking the movie?.1 What is Todd like in The Knife of Never Letting Go?. ![]() ![]() ![]() This one was high on my radar from the start, one read of the synopsis and I wanted it in my hands, awaiting release day was a killer, now after inhaling this, I feel like I've spent an eternity in crazy town. So many questions sped through my mind trying to GUESS who it WAS!?!. MY REVIEW AND OTHERS: can also be found on my blog:įuck this was PHENOMENAL, crazy, UNPUTDOWNABLE, unique, DARK, gritty and everything in between, and then we hit the CLIFFY, and I nearly lost my mind. ![]() |
