Описание:

The exciting sequel to the acclaimed epic fantasy debut "Spellwright"

Francesca DeVega is a healer in the city of Avel, composing magical sentences that close wounds and disspell curses. But when a newly dead patient sits up and tells her that she must flee the infirmary or face a fate worse than death, Francesca finds herself in the middle of a game she doesn't understand--one that ties her to the notorious rogue wizard Nicodemus Weal and brings her face-to-face with demons, demigods, and a man she hoped never to see again.
Ten years ago, Nico escaped Starhaven Academy, leaving behind his failed life, in which he was considered disabled and felt useless. Now he's starting fresh, using his newfound gifts in the dark Chthonic languages to pursue the emerald that holds his birthright. Unfortunately, he can't escape the chaos of his old life. His mentor suffers from an incurable curse, agents of the fabled Halcyon hunt him day and night, pieces of Francesca's story don't add up, and the prophesized War of Disjunction looms on the horizon.
Nico and Francesca don't know it yet, but they are going to have to fit together the pieces of an age-old puzzle and discover the demon's darkest secret....

Описание:

Tink is a young dragon of 83-years (late teenage in dragon lives). His angsts are about being small, the wrong color, and pimply skin instead of dragon scales. Tink works in a picture frame shop owned by a large bear who wears Hawaiian shirts (that change), and red rubber clogs. Tink doesn't see the differences or quirks of every other dragon in the shop--making them unique-- and all the same. He only sees his own differences... until he is called on an adventure putting him in danger--but to save himself, as well as reveal the new Fairy Princess.

Although the adventure is dangerous and heroic, it is not too scary for young children to be read to. (Laura Reynolds, the artist, established the ground rules of our creating this story. First, there are no scary animals or situations.)

This is a two-part parable about self-discovery for those who are or believe they are different from others. This story can be enjoyed for itself or can be used as a tool for understanding that differences do not mean less or more... but another part of the whole. The second part of the parable is in Tink's performing his challenge. Without the help and support of his brother, Boomer, and friends, he could not finish his challenge and become the self-aware dragon he is destined to be.

'The Very Littlest Dragon' is in the same vein as Hans Christian Anderson's parable, 'The Ugly Duckling', but continues in a more complete holistic manner. Finding one's purpose and direction is the hallmark of becoming an adult. Overcoming self-doubt and focus is the hardest step-- unless you can be a dragon.

Описание:

Unlike the hundreds of how-to books, Mr. Charlton leads us down a winding path leading to being a writer. Irreverent at times and solemn at others, he lays out his pratfalls of growing up but never mocks. His explanations are clear and concise. His short stories entertain but are there to draw from.

This unique meandering through a writer's mind answers one of the essential questions writers answer in interviews: "How do you come up with _______?"

Charlton introduces us to his formative people, explaining how he drew from each person to produce specific characters or circumstances. Consider this a cipher or companion handbook to his books.

In his lectures on writing, Mr. Charlton explains writing dense or contextually rich novels that are not a drudgery to read. In his mysteries, he drops clues like a flirtatious southern lady would drop her handkerchief. Even the most innocent offhanded reference should never be a throwaway line. Throwaway lines are indirectly filler or fluff. In this day of expensive printing, word count should be the last bloviated fixture in a novel. Learning to write concise should be the goal of every writer.

Charlton discusses writing to the changing word counts in journalism, or even to an exact word count for a contest. His writing exercises are merely for self-examination.

He uses his family as a collection of tools and information about the varieties of family undercurrents. Ozzie and Harriet were good for thirty-minutes each week in the fifties but became tediously plebian for a novel-especially in a mystery or thriller. Better to substitute Ozzy Osbourne for the paternal role.

Once he shows his lessons of youth, Mr. Charlton interjects some of his favorite short stories. These are the stories he uses as lessons, building characters real enough for them to snatch the storytelling from the writer and reveal the story, which is only theirs to tell.

Characters, storytelling, novels, or movies will never be the same again.

As Charlton loves to point out-not all mysteries are murders, and not all murders are mysteries.

Описание: Hooker, an affable young leather jacketed tow truck driver rules the nights in South San Jose. He reigns from high in the cab of a custom-built giant tow truck that is as powerful as the heart that he keeps hidden under the "rebel without a cause" skin. Cruising the highways and streets in the heady days of the early Silicon Valley, Hooker lives out his life with one hand on the steering wheel, one hand on the gearshift. Four radios, two of which are illegal, are his ears. Life is cherries as he tours his fiefdom with a one-eyed battle-torn oversized orange cat named Box. Named for the box Hooker found him in, as well as the box between the seats of the cab that he spends his time in. The only three people Box lets touch him are Hooker, Manny the retired Detective and the love of Box's life; the 500lb owner of the Night Dispatch: Dolly. Spring is coming on in the valley, and it's is rapidly becoming t-shirt under the leather jacket weather; Hooker's favorite time of the year. The police have long turned a blind eye to his "rapid response time", and the waitress at his favorite midnight eatery is warming up to him. Life is going just great. That is until he witnesses the first of several cops shot to death in front of him by an unseen assailant. The killing spree is executed on Highway Patrol, city cops as well as sheriff deputies. San Jose is paralyzed as everyone searches for answers. Only Hooker and his "family" has his ear close enough to the murmur that can speak to the evil that walks the streets at night taking the city's and county's finest. But when it becomes personal, can Hooker find the killer; before the killer finds Hooker.

Описание:

Thorny Wallace is a little prickly about the women of Bishop and her being stuck with every job running the city. As the chief of police, she is asked to look into the cause of death of a sheriff's deputy and two prisoners--at the county jail.

As everything is almost settling down, the FBI shows up on her doorstep. The agent has a single uncut diamond... and suspect the other fifteen pounds will be smuggled through Thorny's town... unless she can figure out how, who, and stop them.

Complicating everything is a four hundred mile motorcycle race to be held on the Fourth of July.

A body, with a slit throat, at the port of Los Angeles, sets off the fireworks.

Описание: Sometimes-a vision for your survival, is your own death. A psychopathic, sociopath mutilator is leaving cut up bodies in the south Bay Area-again. This time around, everything becomes very personal as Hooker is dragged into things, but can't drive with a cast on his arm. Mae West has a blown engine, and the Squirt is still in the hospital recovering from "Dime Poisoning". Then Hooker gets word from his sister that she needs help. She can help him-but he has to pay the price she is asking.... How do you save someone-by killing them. It is going to take everything Hooker's strange extended family can do to pull it off.... And even then, it may be too late.
