On a busy Washington morning, amid the shuffle of tourists and the brisk rush of government officials, the stately calm of the White House is shattered in a hail of gunfire.

Pages : 364
Book Description
My name is Ethan Turner and I was thrust into this life by no will of my own, and now I am what I am...I am not perfect-I never have been-but I will fight evil whether it lives within me or I come face-to-face with it. The changes a teen goes through are tough. And as a senior, I stressed over planning my future. But that was nothing compared to what I would face and the future that waited for me. Whether by chance or fate, the change happened suddenly. I woke burning with thirst and a desire to understand the impossible. A girl, a very intoxicating girl, was there to help. Tabitha had saved my life. She fed me, taught me, but had to send me out on my own, without friends, without family, and worst of all, without her. My life was cursed and my body marked. Those were the things that brought others to me, others like myself-vampires. But although I rejected what I had become and the desires that came with it, I knew I had to accept their help. I have a wedding to stop. The family of my seductive angel intends for her to marry a power-hungry German with unchecked ambitions. That will happen over my dead body, or rather, my ashes. And my plan will turn this crazy world upside down when "Darkness Has Fallen."

Life and Times of Jo Mora
Author: Peter Hiller
Publisher: Gibbs Smith
ISBN: 1423657365
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
An essential addition to any collection of Western art and Americana, The Life and Times of Jo Mora provides an in-depth biography of this gifted illustrator, painter, writer, cartographer, and sculptor. Jo Mora (1876–1947) lived the Western life he depicted in his prolific body of visual art, comprising sculpture, paintings, architectural adornments, dioramas, and maps. He explored California Missions, the natural glories of Yosemite, California’s ranch life, and eventually the culture of the Hopi and Navajo in Arizona. During his travels, Mora documented observations that became the source material and inspiration for much of his later artwork. The magnitude of Mora’s insights into his life and work, as described in his own words—many presented here in this book—cannot be underestimated. Jo Mora’s many diaries, journals, and literary efforts reveal an intellectual discernment, originality, and humor that enhance our appreciation of his work. Remarkably, throughout his life Mora supported his family solely through a series of art commissions that ranged from restaurant murals to heroic-scale sculpture. He welcomed risks and challenges, was unafraid of hard work, and did nearly everything well, from writing children’s stories to commanding an army battalion-in-training to shooting mountain lions. Ever modest, he seemed to think that this versatility was nothing extraordinary. Peter Hiller’s thoughtful presentation of Jo Mora’s life is seen here in all of its creative glory.
