With spellbinding accounts of train robberies and Indian skirmishes, the mythologized age of the last days of the Wild West comes alive as never before. ![]() David Baron brings to three-dimensional life these three competitors-James Craig Watson, Maria Mitchell, and Thomas Edison-and thrillingly re-creates the fierce jockeying of nineteenth-century American astronomy. And a young, megalomaniacal inventor, with the tabloid press fast on his heels, sought to test his scientific bona fides and light the world through his revelations. Another-an adventuresome female astronomer-fought to prove that science was not anathema to femininity. In the scorching summer of 1878, with the Gilded Age in its infancy, three tenacious and brilliant scientists raced to Wyoming and Colorado to observe a rare total solar eclipse. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With startling vividness Dicristofano delves into one world view after another, leading the reader down disturbingly provocative and terrifying bunny trails only to yank her from the threshold at the moment of transition and toss her back into the darkness yet again.įresh and cunning, Paths to Divinity leaves nary a stone unturned. With each of the shorts in this collection Dicristofano toys with a different human perception of ultimate reality. Thus enters Paths to Divinity, a story of nothing less than the veil between worlds. ![]() Yet they are still stories deserving to be told and which we yearn to hear. Some stories require such diverse voice and point of view as to strain against the classic story arc of the novel. Paths to Divinity is not a helter-skelter collection of short stories (rather popular these days), but rather a reviving of a hibernating medium. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At Cmediagroup, we try to stick to some simple guidelines in order to ensure all books you buy from us arrive in the condition you expect.

We are, as the guys who brought you Scream 5 and 6, very much fans of original, standalone movies. It's a Universal Monster movie and that, for us, is insane that we're making a Universal Monster movie. We're out here right now, we're in Dublin, we're hopefully starting to shoot in a few weeks, it's very fast. Bettinelli-Olpin says that, much like their approach to Scream 5 and 6, this project will be completely standalone, while Gillett says the studio's approach is a " weird, original way into a classic universe."

It was a story about the world I inhabited. What I do remember clearly about Family News is that I was struck by how much of the novel felt recognizable to me, familiar and immediate. The first Joan Barfoot novel that I read was Family News (1989), dating to a time when I only irregularly noted the books that I read in a coilbound exercise book, so I know that I sought out several of her books after that, but I don’t know which was the second. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From whalers and farmers, to engineers, bankers, and second sons, they journeyed to the Viceroyalty to make their fortunes on the pampas.

Lord Fife ~ Jose San Martin ~ Mariquita Sanchez de Thompson The book is currently entitled, Celestial Persuasion and I hope it can be accepted as a prequel to Persuasion in the hearts and minds of my fellow “Janeites.” But it is much more than that! Allow me then to introduce a few key historical figures that were the impetus for my novel. In other words, the hard part is yet to come! In the meantime, I want to share the inspiration for this novel. Of course, that only opens the door for the various re-writes, alpha reads, beta reads, etc. After nearly a year, I am happy to announce I’ve completed the first draft of my latest novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks to Simon & Schuster for a review copy of Marlene Marlene: Marlene Dietrich, A Personal Biography I Know Where I'm Going: Katharine Hepburn, A Personal Biography She Always Knew How: Mae West, A Personal Biography Not the Girl Next Door: Joan Crawford, A Personal Biography Ingrid: Ingrid Bergman, A Personal Biography The Girl Who Walked Home Alone: Bette Davis, A Personal Biography It's Only a Movie: Alfred Hitchcock, A Personal Biography ![]() Nobody's Perfect: Billy Wilder, A Personal Biography ![]() Hello, I Must Be Going: Groucho and His Friends Marlene Dietrich sculpture by Clark Hanford I've read more heavily documented books (the fascinating Barry Paris tome on Louise Brooks comes to mind) and books concerned almost solely with a life on film (David Thomson's excellent "Great Stars" series entry on Bette Davis), but for a pleasurable foray into legendary firsthand memories, Chandler is hard to beat. I enjoy Charlotte Chandler's uniquely readable biographies. She loved what happened to her," adding that Dietrich hadn’t expected any of it and “she felt she owed her great life to Josef von Sternberg,” her mentor and the director of seven of her most memorable films. Asked if she thought Dietrich also became bitter, Chandler responded, “not at all. Her impression was that Garbo was too bitter about the past to make a good interview. Chandler told Kirkus that though she didn't interview her, she did meet Garbo. ![]() |
