Christmas at Nelson Ranch
Author: Kathy Carmichael
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The Texas Two-Step series is a reader favorite. All of the stories in the series are sweet, charming and emotional contemporary romance. Each story in the series stands alone, but all Texas Two-Step novels and novellas feature love stories about members of the Nelson, Murphy or Palmer families - and sometimes, more than one! Book Description: Of course adoptee Holly Brown was curious about her birth family. What adoptee wouldn't be? Especially when her biological grandmother, Tammie Dean Nelson, approached her adoptive father, asking for his permission to meet Holly. Tammie Dean was in the hospital, but it was her wish to meet the grandchild who she hadn't seen since she was a newborn. Tammie Dean Nelson, Slade Colfax's grandmother by choice, rather than by blood, asked him to go bring Holly back to the ranch. He wasn't certain it was a good idea, but generally he went along with whatever Tammie Dean wanted. Especially since her health was so poorly. As soon as he laid eyes on Holly Brown, he was captivated, but questioned whether it was a good idea. His experience with city girls warned him that Holly would be unhappy on a ranch. Going to the Nelson Ranch during the holidays wasn't on the top of Holly's Christmas plans, but once she met Tammie Dean, she adored her. What she didn't enjoy were the attempts upon her own life. Attempts she wasn't certain she would survive. THE TEXAS TWO-STEP, in series order: Western Pleasure (A Novella) Prequel (Book 1) Chasing Charlie (Book 2) The Lassoed Bride (A Novella) (Book 3) Country Courtship (Book 4) Courting Trouble (Book 5) My Southern Bride (Book 6) Abby's Cowboy (Book 7) Christmas at Nelson Ranch (Book 8) The Cowboy Prince Coming Soon "Debbie Macomber fans will love CHASING CHARLIE."

Writing With Power
Author: Peter Elbow
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199741042
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
A classic handbook for anyone who needs to write, Writing With Power speaks to everyone who has wrestled with words while seeking to gain power with them. Here, Peter Elbow emphasizes that the essential activities underlying good writing and the essential exercises promoting it are really not difficult at all. Employing a cookbook approach, Elbow provides the reader (and writer) with various recipes: for getting words down on paper, for revising, for dealing with an audience, for getting feedback on a piece of writing, and still other recipes for approaching the mystery of power in writing. In a new introduction, he offers his reflections on the original edition, discusses the responses from people who have followed his techniques, how his methods may differ from other processes, and how his original topics are still pertinent to today's writer. By taking risks and embracing mistakes, Elbow hopes the writer may somehow find a hold on the creative process and be able to heighten two mentalities--the production of writing and the revision of it. From students and teachers to novelists and poets, Writing with Power reminds us that we can celebrate the uses of mystery, chaos, nonplanning, and magic, while achieving analysis, conscious control, explicitness, and care in whatever it is we set down on paper.
