Book Description
All Violet Parker wants is a day off. Better yet, just a “normal” day. But things never go as planned, especially in Deadwood. Someone—or rather something—broke into the local taxidermy shop and took bites out of the critter displays before racing off into the dark. But this is no random crime and Violet knows it. With a bounty on her head and troublemakers zeroing in on her, she soon goes from being the hunter to the hunted. “Burly muscled and rawhide tough don’t matter. Never tangle with a Scharfrichter!” ~Violet Parker

Lois usually steers clear of local gossip, but after tidying up the house that newcomer Reg Abthorpe claims to have inherited, she has more suspicions than she can keep to herself.

Unconscious Escapades

Pages : 378
Book Description
What if we could travel in time and space as we do in the air? Are the deepest seas in the same degree close as the stars from the far corners of the universe? Are we truly as primitive as we are led to believe? So many questions remain unanswered while we struggle with our existence. We covet the great conquerors and leaders throughout history. We cry as we see our credit card balances increase and savings accounts decrease. We fantasize over great vacations or living in a wonderful mansion and question the line between reality and fiction. Fortunately, the answers to so many of our questions are not as far from us as we might believe. Our distant ancestors might not be in the role of untouchable, as we once believed. Each night we casually lay down to rest from our daily struggles and mysteriously venture into another dimension that is as real during its control over our mind and body as our lives in the material world. The power of dreams takes us into other worlds and ages, where all our songs are hits, and we win our battles. Even though we do not win all our battles, we still come out victorious. What was false may now be true, and the stars are in our back yard. Love obeys its own rules as the wicked and hateful fall down before us. These worlds of worlds where kings follow our commands remain as great a mystery today as it was for those who walked among the Earth millennium earlier. We preserve our sanity by disregarding this special world, maintaining that it is not real. Is it real or fantasy? Even though our adventures erase from our minds quickly after we awaken, the fact that we were there cannot be denied. Discover what happens when this solid line begins to vanish.

Looking for Anne

Pages : 368
Book Description
By any standards, Lucy Maud Montgomery’sAnne of Green Gables is a stunning success. Published in 1908 (and not once out of print),Anne has sold more than 50 million copies, been translated into more than 17 languages (including Braille), and become the focus of international conferences devoted to its interpretation. Anne has remained, as Matthew sings in the musical, “forever young,†no small feat for the spunky, in-your-face redhead who, in 2008, celebrates her 100th birthday! But why Anne? How does Montgomery`s classic work pull so many international readers into the vortex of Anne`s freckled face and carrotty braids? How does this little book create such enduring interest around the world? The answer is far more intriguing than any story even Anne could have imagined. In her journal, Maud`s quick pen would froth up the tiniest details of her life into dramatic events, but that same pen never revealed a single word aboutAnne. As a result, the novel’s secrets have remained sealed for over a century. Looking for Anne is the untold story of a literary classic and a writer who found inspiration in many places including the popular images of the era, such as beauty icons, fashion plates, and advertisements; a writer who quietly quarried her material from American mass market periodicals; who consciously imitated formula fiction to create marketable stories for juvenile periodicals, religious newspapers, and glamorous women’s magazines—and who ultimately, in the storm that brewed up the novel, also transcended these influences to create a twentieth-century literary classic that would conquer the world. Blending biography with cultural history, penetrating and uncensored, this is the definitive book onAnne of Green Gables.Looking for Anne captures both the spirit of Marilla’s critical probing for “bald facts†and Anne’s belief in the infinite power of the imagination. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of Anne with an “e.†Praise forLooking for Anne: Looking for Anne takes a bold new look at Anne of Green Gables. If you have loved Anne of Green Gables and wonder how she came about, I recommend that you read Irene Gammel’s book. — Kate Macdonald Butler (Lucy Maud Montgomery’s granddaughter) Visit the Looking for Anne webpage by clickinghere
