When Madeline Hammond stepped from the train at El Cajon, New Mexico, it was nearly midnight, and her first impression was of a huge dark space of cool, windy emptiness, strange and silent, stretching away under great blinking white stars. Miss, there\'s no one to meet you, said the conductor, rather anxiously. I wired my brother, she replied. "The train being so late - perhaps he grew tired of waiting. He will be here presently. But, if he should not come - surely I can find a hotel?" There\'s lodgings to be had. Get the station agent to show you. If you\'ll excuse me - this is no place for a lady like you to be alone at night. It\'s a rough little town - mostly Mexicans, miners, cowboys. And they carouse a lot. Besides, the revolution across the border has stirred up some excitement along the line. Miss, I guess it\'s safe enough, if you - Views: 283
As time passed, I realized more and more how unusual and interesting his adventures were, and I urged him to write an account of them. He began with enthusiasm, but soon tired of the unaccustomed work. Later, however, after the buffalo had been exterminated and we were settled on a cattle-ranch, where the life was of a deadly monotony compared with that which we had led, I induced him to take up the narrative once more. Some parts of it he wrote with infinite detail; other parts consisted only of dates and a few sentences. He was destined never to finish the task. An old bullet wound in his lung had always kept him in poor health, and when, in the winter of 1885, he contracted pneumonia, the end was quick. His last request was that I would put his notes in shape for publication. Views: 282

City girl Amanda Bailey arrives in Bandit Creek to replace
the bank manager who is on maternity leave. After surviving her first day at
work, Amanda spends a toe-curling night in the arms of a Hollywood-handsome

The local gossipmongers hit an all-time low when rumors abound that Amanda
herself is the thief and is covering her tracks by accusing one of the locals.
Amanda must fight to save her career and her reputation, but
will this temporary work assignment prove to be her ruin?

He's taken his bad-boy image too far, too many times, and when he gets arrested for skinny dipping in his producer's pool – with his producer's wife, it's the last straw. His agent comes up with a plan to revamp his image – by going incognito for a cowboy movie on location - far away from the prying eyes of the Hollywood tabloids. Trace hates the idea, but has to agree or lose his career for good. Investigative journalist Cecilia Sanchez is one good story away from getting out of the backwater town where she grew up. Forced to return home when her first big-city job backfires – note to self, it's never a good idea to write an exposé your boss, even if it's Pulitzer Prize-winning material - she's determined to put Prairie on the map for something besides rodeos and tornadoes.

In this adaption of the story by Charles Dickens, the playwright has used his skills as a playwright, as well researching both the time period and the life of Dickens, to bring an understanding of who Scrooge was, why he was the way he was, and what Dickens was trying to share in this story.In this adaption of the story by Charles Dickens, the playwright has used his skills as a playwright, as well researching both the time period and the life of Dickens, to bring an understanding of who Scrooge was, why he was the way he was, and what Dickens was trying to share in this story. For example, the phrase ‘humbug’, often used by Scrooge, in our modern language would be close to the word ‘scam’. It appears likely that Dickens, through the eyes of Scrooge, was expressing, as many do today, that Christmas is too commercialized. Through this adaption, hopefully the audience will find themselves understanding the world of Dickens more, as well as his religious feelings about what Christmas is really all about. Views: 259
