Cette auteure s'appuie sur sa vaste expérience en archéologie, l'utilisant comme élément fondamental de ses œuvres littéraires. Ses premières années passées en Afrique et en Irlande, suivies de son installation en Angleterre, ont façonné sa vision du monde. Une fascination d'enfance pour l'archéologie, initialement déclenchée par une incompréhension concernant les dinosaures, s'est transformée en une profonde appréciation de l'histoire et de la culture qui informe son écriture. Sa carrière antérieure d'illustratrice archéologique confère à ses récits une perspective visuelle unique et axée sur les détails.
What lies beneath? Things are not right at Crowfield Abbey. The building has begun to crumble. And what Will finds beneath the floor of the side chapel is truly terrifying. Is this the end of Crowfield forever?
For the hundreds of thousands who buy writers’ guides every year, at last there’s one that tells the ugly writers who can’t get published are usually making a lot of mistakes. This honest, often funny, book shows them how to identify their own missteps, stop listening to bad advice, and get to work. Drawing on his experience as founding editor of MacAdam/Cage, Pat Walsh gives writers what they need—specific, straightforward feedback to help them overcome bad habits and bad luck. He avoids the optimistic, sometimes misleading directions often found in publishing how-to books and presents the industry as it is, warts and all. Here is the first guide that tells writers just what the odds against them are and gives them practical tips for evening them.
It's 1347 and fifteen-year-old Will, an orphan boy, lives at Crowfield Abbey. Sent into the forest to gather wood, he rescues instead, a creature from a trap - a hob, who shares with Will a terrible secret. When two hooded strangers arrive at Crowfield asking questions about the angel's grave.
***Use you most mysterious voice while reading*** For centuries, young children have feared the alleged monster beneath their beds. Oh, the havoc those monstrous monsters have wreaked upon so many tired little tots. Well, it's time the tables are turned! Muwahahaha! Sorry, that was a bit much. Or was it not enough? I'll let you be the judge. In book one of the Monstrosity Curiosity duology (I double dog dare you to say that ten times fast- and be sure to check out book two What Do Monsters Eat & Drink?), humor author C.T. Walsh speculates about what young monsters' bedtimes looks like. And what's more- who are said monsters afraid of when the lights go out? You might be surprised. Or not. You might be a total genius and figure it out or perhaps you have monster blood coursing through your veins and when you close your eyes, your monster fears come to life and you know what haunts them. If that's the case, you should probably get that checked out, but if you are still quite unsure, it's time we figure out this Monstrosity Curiosity and put this monster mystery to bed...if you dare. Muwahahaha!
Short Stories to Go: Book 1 consists of a collection of stories that can be appreciated in their entirety, in a single sitting, or enjoyed one story at a time. This trilogy was assembled from many years of random writings and the stories were selected more for their differences than for their similarities. The content addresses scenarios that range from the unfortunate to the unexpected and concludes with the impossible. This book begins with a fact- based dramatization of a tragic love story which owes its unfortunate outcome to the slow and untrustworthy word-of-mouth communications channels that prevailed in many parts of the world during the early 20th century. This emotional tale of love and loss is followed by a completely fictional account that encompasses a farm town's battle with Mother Nature, as viewed through the eyes of three young storm chasers who have been sponsored by a Canadian university. This exciting adventure leads into an entirely imaginative and enticing science fiction drama which hopefully leaves you, the reader, looking for more.
