He joined The Scotsman newspaper in Edinburgh during the headiest days of Scottish nationalism and in 1971 was hired by the Sunday Times in London, where he was financial reporter, editor of an Insight investigative unit and a writer and editor for the paper's Spectrum feature pages. He returned to study history at Oxford, won various prizes and was about to become an academic when he realized that writing, and writing often, was the only thing he knew how to do. He grew up in the English countryside and, in the classic English manner, was sent abroad to grow up: to the Universita per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy. He now lives with his partner John Holm in a tiny village in the forests of rural Portugal. For twenty years he commuted between New York and Europe as a political and cultural columnist for British newspapers. He is English by birth, but civilized by study in Italy and a newspaper apprenticeship in Scotland. Michael Pye writes for a living - as novelist, journalist, historian and sometimes broadcaster. Her only lead is Ortega’s fiancée, who believes that he had arranged to surprise her with the purchase of a Frisian gelding named Heart. Grace is inclined to let the matter rest in peace, but when her sister is named a suspect, Grace decides to get to the bottom of the cryptic calls. Grace’s abusive ex-brother-in-law, Anthony Ortega, needs her help-at least that’s what he said on the messages he left before his sudden death. Introducing her Call of the Wild e series:ĭead men may tell no tales, but they can screw up your life with a few phone calls. She lives in Florida with her husband and far too many cats, loves the Blue Angels, wearing flip flops in November, and thunderstorms. Drawing from her years of experience with both wild and domestic animals and her passion for detective novels, Laura created the Call of the Wilde series. Later she became a volunteer at a local zoo, helping out with everything from “waste management” to teaching an elephant how to paint. Spending the first years of her life on a Costa Rican coffee farm blessed Laura Morrigan with a fertile imagination and a love for all things wild. At the conclusion of the narrative, the only survivor is the sole member of the “next generation,” having been conceived, birthed, and aged-up to adulthood the previous day, and then left to fend for themselves tomorrow. With these inexplicable conditions in place, the characters that arrive at the beach become trapped, and then rapidly age through to their deaths, with their accelerated lifespan lasting less than a full twenty-hours. There is an unseen force field keeping the characters trapped at the beach, but no concrete explanation is ever offered for this, either. However, the narrative, which is translated by Nora Mahony, offers little in the way of explanation for the seemingly supernatural phenomena. The graphic novel has now been rereleased in conjunction with Shyamalan’s Old, which I have not yet seen, but which piqued my interested regarding the comic: there’s something about the enigmatic premise of a beach that accelerates aging that creates an irresistible hook. Sandcastle was originally published in 2010, with an English version published by SelfMadeHero in 2013. In Braiding Sweetgrass she brings together her scientific and Indigenous knowledge to share powerful ideas about the lessons we can glean from other living beings. Living in Syracuse, New York, she is a botanist and decorated professor, and also a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation and founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. In her daily life, Kimmerer straddles worlds that are traditionally kept separate. In fact, the writer’s insistence on bringing together seemingly oppositional forces might be what gives the book its remarkable power. It’s noteworthy, then, that Braiding Sweetgrass, the 2013 New York Times bestselling book by Robin Wall Kimmerer, refuses to fit neatly into one particular box. Books, like many other aspects of life, tend to be forced into categories. ( AUDIO: Power Cell) She once went on a course at London Zoo and threw a tarantula out of a window. Osgood went on to earn at least one PhD ( AUDIO: The Sacrifice of Jo Grant) at King Henry's University in London, where she befriended Jay Roy and was nicknamed "Plain Jane, Super Brain".

The result of this herculean task, is a legacy of some of the best researched historical fiction of this time meticulously covering politics, battles, people, religious rites, traditions, trade, architecture, etc. Indeed, the two are well- matched only in ambition.” The Masters of RomeĪnthony and Cleopatra is the last of seven novels, collectively called the Masters of Rome series, covering the end of the Roman Republic in all its twisted glory. His rival Octavian, seems a less convincing candidate: the slight golden haired boy is as controlled as Antony is indulgent and as cool-headed and clear-eyed as Antony is impulsive. Like a true warrior-king, he is a seasoned general whose lust for power burns alongside a passion for women, feasts, and Chian wine. With the bearing of a hero, and the riches of the East at his disposal, Antony seems poised to take the prize. Though this tense truce holds civil war at bay, Rome seems ripe for an emperor-a true Julian heir to lay claim to Caesar’s legacy. Lepidus has retreated to Africa, while Antony rules the opulent East, and Octavian claims the West, the heart of Rome, as his domain. “Caesar is dead, and Rome is, again, divided. This week it’s a novel by Colleen McCullough.

Having centered her life on her husband and child, her daughter’s definition of family is not one she can accept. Ideally, a steady income and, most importantly, a good husband with whom to start a family.īut when Green turns up with her long-term girlfriend in tow, her mother is enraged and unwilling to welcome their relationship into her home.
