By George Pendle. 2008
The shocking new memoir from Death At last, the mysterious, feared, and misunderstood being known only as “Death” talks frankly…
and unforgettably about his infinitely awful existence. Chronicling his abusive childhood, his near-fatal addiction to Life, his excruciating time in rehab, and the ultimate triumph of his true nature, this long-awaited autobiography finally reveals the inner story of one of the most troubling, and troubled, figures in history. For the first time, Death reveals his affairs with the living, his maltreatment at the hands of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the ungodly truth behind the infamous “Jesus Incident,” and the loneliness of being the End of All Things. Intense, unpredictable, and instantly engaging,Death: A Lifeis not only a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a universe that, despite its profound flaws, gave Death the fiery determination to carve out a successful existence on his own terms. DEATH was born in Hell, the only son of Satan and Sin. He was educated in the Palace of Pandemonium and the Garden of Eden. Since before the Dawn of Time, he has ushered souls into the darkness of eternity. This is his first book. From the Trade Paperback edition.Writing the Okanagan
By George Bowering. 2015
George Bowering was born in Penticton, where his great-grandfather Willis Brinson lived, and Bowering has never been all that far…
from the Okanagan Valley in his heart and imagination. Early in the twenty-first century, he was made a permanent citizen of Oliver. Bowering has family up and down the Valley, and he goes there as often as he can. He has been asked during his many visits to Okanagan bookstores over the years to publish a collection of his writing about the Valley.Writing the Okanagan draws on forty books Bowering has published since 1960 - poetry, fiction, history, and some forms he may have invented. Selections from Delsing (1961) and Sticks & Stones (1962) are here, as is "Driving to Kelowna" from The Silver Wire (1966). Other Okanagan towns, among them Rock Creek, Peachland, Vernon, Kamloops, Princeton, and Osoyoos, inspire selections from work published through the 1970s and on to 2013. Fairview, the old mining site near Oliver, is the focus of an excerpt from Caprice (1987, 2010), one volume in Bowering's trilogy of historical novels. "Desert Elm" takes as its two main subjects the Okanagan Valley and his father, who, as Bowering did, grew up there. With the addition of some previously unpublished works, the reader will find the wonder of the Okanagan here, in both prose and poetry.Clarissa und die unverheirateten Frauenzimmer
By Alicia Cameron, Daniela Maizner. 2017
Im England der Regency-Zeit steht Mrs. Thornes Akademie der jungen Damen nach dem Tod von Clarissas Mutter kurz vor der…
Schließung. Die junge 18-jährige Clarissa Thorne und ihre drei Freundinnen, die als Lehrerinnen in der Akademie tätig waren, sehen sich daher gezwungen, als mittellose, unverheiratete Frauenzimmer in den Schoß ihrer jeweiligen Familien zurückzukehren, um ein Leben in Schuft und Schinderei zu führen. Doch es kommt, dass Clarissa das riesige Anwesen Ashcroft erbt und somit sich und ihren Freundinnen einen Ausweg bieten kann – hinein in ein Leben voller Unabhängigkeit und Abenteuer. Sie müssen das Anwesen mit wenig Geld und noch weniger Erfahrung wieder auf Vordermann bringen. Können die pragmatische Miss Micklethwaite, die ewig romantische, aber bereits alternde Miss Appleby und die wunderschöne Miss Oriana Petersham ihrem Schicksal entkommen? Zumindest müssen sie den Versuch wagen und die lebhafte und impulsive Clarissa unterstützen. Wie dem auch sei, ihre Verwandten haben andere Pläne… Als sie auf ihrer Reise den Earl of Grandiston und seinen Gefährten (einen ergebenen Verehrer der bildschönen Oriana) treffen, wird jedoch eine Kette unvorhergesehener Ereignisse losgetreten. Dem Abenteuer fügen die Damen noch einen Schuss Romantik hinzu.Clarissa et les femmes sans importance

mort de la mère de Clarissa, madame Thorne, survenue un an plus tôt. Voilà qui laisse cette jeune femme de dix-huit ans et ses trois amies, toutes enseignantes à l’Académie, sans autre choix que de retourner auprès de leur famille comme ces parentes pauvres, ces femmes sans importance qui doivent se résoudre à obéir au doigt et à l’œil à tous ceux qui les entourent, sans espoir d’une vie meilleure. Toutefois, Clarissa vient tout juste d’hériter d’Ashcroft, un grand domaine malheureusement fort négligé, et elle offre à ses compagnes une autre solution : s’enfuir avec elle vers une vie d’indépendance et d’aventure. Elles devront remettre le domaine en état avec somme toute peu d’argent et aucune expérience. La raisonnable mademoiselle Micklethwaite, l’infatigable romantique mademoiselle Appleby et la sublime Oriana Petersham peuvent-elles tromper leur destin ? Pour veiller au bien-être de cette énergique, mais impulsive Clarissa, elles devront au moins tenter leur chance. Il va sans dire que leurs parents ont d’autres plans pour elles… Une rencontre avec le comte de Grandiston et son compagnon, un soupirant de la divine Oriana, sur la route lancera une série d’événements hilarants. Peut-être que l’amour se mêlera également à l’aventure pour ces dames…The Knights of England Boxed Set, Books 1-3: Three Complete Historical Medieval Romance

"I was captivated by the beautiful covers from the start and that captivation just carried straight through from page one…
to the end of each book." ~Jeannette R HolthamA Breathtaking Medieval Saga of Love, Duty, Loyalty, Failure and Triumph in the First Three Volumes of The Knights of England by Mary Ellen Johnson BOOK 1: The Lion and the Leopard - Maria Rendell wants to be a dutiful wife to husband Phillip, but can't deny her attraction to their liege lord, Richard of Sussex. Loving Philip should be easy. She has married the knight of whom minstrels sing; the knight who saved Richard's life. But when Phillip abandons Maria to indulge his wanderlust, she turns to Richard, sparking a passionate affair amidst the crumbling kingdom of Edward II. Meanwhile, Edward II's barons are rebelling, executing his favorites, and across the channel in France, Isabella, Edward II's wife—the She-Wolf of France—plans to invade England. Then King Edward is captured as Richard and Maria prepare to flee to safety, and Phillip returns. Now the day of reckoning is at hand—not only for Maria, Richard, and Phillip, but for that most unfortunate of Plantagenet kings, Edward II.BOOK 2: A Knight There Was - Following his return from battle with a life-threatening sickness, Margery Watson nurses Golden Knight Matthew Hart back to health. A bond deepening between them, Matthew--who refuses to marry so his younger brother may inherit all--begs Margery to openly live with him. Margery agrees. Like her grandmother before her, she will risk all for love. But a scheming adversary concocts a deception in Matthew's absence that leaves Margery the unwitting wife of a wealthy goldsmith--who seeks only to trade on her family name--while believing she was betrayed by Matthew. When Matthew returns from London to find Margery wedded and bedded, he accuses her of betraying HIM. Now, both Margery and Matthew foolishly believe that time, distance and heartbreak will be enough to keep them forever apart.BOOK 3: Within A Forest Dark - With his belief in the Perfection of Knighthood challenged by battlefield atrocities, Matthew Hart returns to London, wishing to reunite with his first love, Margery Watson. Margery's cruel husband is now dead. As a wealthy widow, she has no intention of returning to the bonds of marriage. But she cannot turn away her handsome knight, no matter the depth of innocent blood he spilled in the name of honor and duty. As Matthew forces himself to fulfill feudal obligations, and Margery's unrest turns treasonous, the forces of king and kingdom may prove the lovers' ultimate undoing or their best hope.Publisher Note: Readers with a passion for history will appreciate the author's penchant for detail and accuracy.
