"Creating A Custom Fit In An Off-The-Rack Genre World" is about the three main kinds of characters found in murder fiction: the investigators, the victims, and the suspects. It is possible to place these characters along a creative continuum. from the relatively formulaic to the relatively unique, from stock characters to more fully-realised human beings. "Custom Fit" takes a fresh perspective on these characters, suggesting new terms for each role. The detective or investigator becomes the Proximal Investigator, and the victim the Corpse of Convenience. The collective term for the suspects is the Family of Circumstance, remembering that, initially at least, everyone in a murder novel is suspect.
Using examples from novels by Peter Hoeg, Henning Mankell, Walter Mosley, and Sara Paretsky, this text asks questions such as: how do murder fiction's characters achieve a sense of difference in their roles, even as they abide by established conventions, demonstrating traits and behaviours similar to other investigators, suspects and victims? How do they flout convention while following it? And how do they contribute to the genre's evolution and development?
"Creating A Custom Fit in an Off-the-Rack Genre World" is a stand-alone text but also a companion essay to the novel, "Summon Up The Blood," both of which formed the author's doctorate in Creative Writing, which received a University of Queensland Dean's Award for Outstanding Research Higher Degree Thesis.

Описание:
"Ace is one of the great radio guys I've had the honor to know in my career. No Matter what station I've seen him at God has used Him in major ways and I love seeing a fellow Bama boy serving the Lord in this way." Mac Powell from Third Day
As Christians, we strive to enter each day of life and search for teachable moments. Many of the lessons learned come from the School of Hard Knocks. Just Chill is a lesson in when you do not learn from the educational moments life provides.
Ace McKay places his own experiences and lessons he's learned on paper in this book. He creates a tangible extension of his daily radio show where he shares these parts of his life with listeners. He is convinced that if we continue to learn to be who we are in Christ, then we will find true love, deeper freedom, and vibrant joy.
It is McKay's hope that through his willingness to be honest, open, and vulnerable within the pages of Just Chill, readers will gain a new filter to change the way they see life. And change their lives for the better.

Описание: Throughout his 27-year career as an FBI Special Agent in big cities and small, the author has personally associated with persons of all backgrounds living in circumstances ranging from extreme poverty to ultimate opulence. That has afforded him the unique perspective in analyzing not only the varied living conditions of those observed, but also the multitude of varied causes resulting in those wide-ranging circumstances. Add to that living for two years each in Morocco and Germany and traveling extensively around the world, he became convinced his experience would enable him to pinpoint in a concise manner some of the most significant roots and resulting circumstances encountered by humans throughout their sojourn in mortality; the purpose being to help facilitate an analysis of how to best maximize the worldly challenges faced by each of us. In addition to a joy of writing (this is his 6th published book), Ray and his wife have settled down in Utah having celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary while enjoying their five happily married daughters and 15 grandchildren. Oh yeah, and he probably plays too much golf.

He sees her.She stands out in the grieving crowd-her head thrown back, her face bright with contentment-like a beacon offering to guide him into the light.
Описание: Translated into English for the first time in this edition, The Jena System, 1804-5: Logic and Metaphysics is an essential text in the study of the development of Hegel`s thought. It is the climax of Hegel`s efforts to construct a neutral theory of the categories of finite cognition ("logic") as the necessary bridge to the theory of infinite, or philosophical, cognition ("metaphysics").
