The world has always been a bleak place for Detective John Cox, but he's always made the best of it. A man of two worlds, one his ideal, the other an obligation. Life allows a person to live a number of lives, but when that number is up, and all that lays before you is darkness, do you rebel? Repent? Or face the consequences of the lies?Sheila Power has been described as “A rattling good read that defies pigeon holing into any one genre. Our heroine is Sheila Power, a very rich film producer and all-round prominent social identity, who is about to start work on what will be the crowning achievement of her spectacular career. The stylised satire and mystery are only part of the plot. Sheila’s also undergoing past-life therapy. Sheila Power is a block-buster of a novel, a satirical thriller filled with lashings of racy sex between moments of transcendental spirituality and shopping”. First published in 1997, this novel was also noted as being “both a continuation of and a break with Baranay’s writings”. This new ebook edition comes with the author’s Afterwords. Views: 429

This is a collection of three short stories with a common thread of the supernatural. Two of these are "literary" fiction, and the third is more contemporary. Book also contains coupon codes.This is a collection of three short stories with a common thread of the supernatural. "The Man with Three Names" is unquestionably "literary" fiction in that it is carefully crafted to be confusing, and leave the reader to decide what it means. "684 Feet" is more light-hearted, except for the attempted suicide foiled by what may or may not be an angel. "Butterfly" is a flash fiction piece that is as insightful as it is is devastating. I have included this piece because no one seems interested in publishing it, and I feel it illustrates my skills excellently.Included in the book are coupons for my upcoming book "Love Transcends" that I hope to release for Valentines day, and my current novel "Murphy's Second Death." The book is free, and the coupons will save you 50%. Enjoy. Views: 429

“The Copperhead” is a farmer in northern New York who sympathizes with the South in the anti-slavery struggle, and who in consequence is boycotted by his neighbors. He is driven from church, not allowed to sell his milk at the neighborhood creamery, and in a hundred ways ostracized and treated with scorn. To add to his burden, his son falls in love with the daughter of the arch-enemy of the family, a ranting Abolitionist, and then goes to the war, only to be reported " missing" after the battle of Antietam. Finally the farmer\'s house is set on fire by a crowd of young roysterers who have come with the intention of tarring and feathering him and his " hired man," and then the reaction in favor of the Copperhead sets in. The book ends with the return of the "missing " soldier and the reconciliation of his father\'s family with that of the young school-teacher in whom he is interested. Mr. Frederic\'s descriptions of life in a rural community at the beginning of the war are true, and his character studies not only have power and individuality, but are evidently based upon careful observation of real life.
