The Mushroom Circle
Author: Clare C Newbury
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1469123061
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
When you were a child did you ever put a tooth under your pillow hoping the tooth fairy would come to take it and leave a coin in its place? Did you ever worry that there might be goblins in the woods? Have you ever seen a moth fly by and wondered if it just might be a pixie? Have you stepped inside a ring of mushrooms and experienced the magic of the mushroom circle? Step into the circle now. Off the coast of Maine lies Terrapin Island, shaped like a tortoise whose seaweed-covered head disappears at high tide. Rings of Marasmius Oreades mushrooms have been growing on the island for hundreds of years. Each year the rings grow larger, like droplets in a puddle, until they reach the boundary of rocks that lets them go no further. The entire island lies within the magic circle. Terrapin Island is inhabited by giants, who are people rather like yourself, and by wee folk, who are tiny fairies and goblins of the sort most giants cannot see, and certainly do not believe in. The wee folk, however, are very aware of the giants, and for the most part, take a dim view of the way they live. You will be introduced to Fearbabe, the mesmerizing king of the goblins. His dysfunctional band of hooligans includes Obsequia, Hotspur, and Whipcad, the trio most recently banished to goblinhood by the fairies. You will meet the fairy architect, Aerial Fog, an ethereal pale green sprite who glows with the power of love, and who has a friend among the giants: Marian Fuller, an eccentric and ageless artist, winters in Mexico and spends her summers as librarian on Terrapin Island. Marian provides Aerial Fog with building materials in exchange for information about the wee folk. You will get to know Marians seven-and-a-half-year-old friend, Dawn McKay, who suspects that Marian is a witch. Dawn loses a tooth in Marians kitchen early one morning. That night two fairies, Featherbell and Fiddlehead, are sent to fetch the tooth from under Dawns pillow. Their efforts are hampered by Dawns father, Boos attempt to play the role of tooth fairy himself. You will encounter Harriet Gracewell, an eighty-three-year-old bird watcher who dresses only in black and takes care of her cranky invalid sister-in-law, Estelle. Harriet accidentally finds herself in possession of a tiny cloak belonging to Osmosis the gnome. She shows the little garment to Marian Fuller, who tells her it must be returned to its owner. Complications arise when the cloak falls into the hands of Fearbabe the goblin. Harriet, Marian, and Dawn join forces with the fairies to make a trade with Fearbabe. Because of their helpful interactions with the wee folk, Marian, Harriet, and Dawn are invited to attend the fairies Summer Solstice celebration, at which a particularly surprising event transpires.

Tales of Yore
Author: Mark Woodbury
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595417175
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
Dogs are the natural villains in any book by or about mail carriers-and that's certainly true in Tales of Yore, The Mail Carriers' Revenge, a collection of favorite anecdotes of real-life mail carriers. Here, dogs are humorously trashed, trounced, and vilified in a most satisfactory manner. However, not all dogs are bad. Tales of Yore also includes light-hearted stories of inept dogs, misunderstood dogs, some vicious critters that aren't even dogs-and yes, even a few good dogs. Tales of Yore is about people too, as postal people are kind of like dogs. You've got your good ones, your bad ones, smart and dumb ones-and then you got your butt-snifters who should be put on a leash! Laugh along with our heroes as they encounter snakes, vicious cats, and attack chickens; guys in dresses-and some customers with no clothes at all. Tales of Yore has all these stories, as well as stories of heroic carriers. It explores the difficulties of carrying mail in a changing world and contemplates the human side of the postal service-the fun and foibles of an unruly and obstinate bunch of "characters" who deliver big laughs with each letter.

Soldiers and Ghosts
Author: Phil Gutierrez
Publisher:
ISBN: 1475970811
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Though little more than a boy, Private Josh Simmons is no green recruit of the Confederate Army. Now seventeen years old, he participated in the Battle of Gettysburg last year. Like most of his fellow soldiers, he doesn’t truly understand the underpinnings of the battle, but he has faith in his commanders, especially General Robert E. Lee. Simmons fights on the premise the blue bellies are down here threatening his home and his family. He also knows death waits for him up some road, trail, field, or grade. Now, a century and a half after the most momentous struggle in American history, Soldiers and Ghosts tells the story of the American Civil War from ground level through the eyes of Simmons, a Confederate infantryman. It narrates the experiences of young adolescents during one of the most dramatic and chaotic moments of that Wilderness Campaign of 1864. The first book in a trilogy, Soldiers and Ghosts tells a tale of valor amid the horror of unceasing battle and struggle as the Ghost Army gained recruits at feverish pitch during the darkest days of the Civil War.

Shooting from the Lip
Author: Donald Loren Hardy
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806182784
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Shortly before Wyoming’s Alan K. Simpson was elected majority whip of the United States Senate, he decided to keep a journal. “I am going to make notes when I get home in the evening, as to what happened during each day.” Now the senator’s longtime chief of staff, Donald Loren Hardy, has drawn extensively on Simpson’s personal papers and nineteen-volume diary to write this unvarnished account of a storied life and political career. Simpson gave full authorial control to Hardy, telling him, “Don, just tell the truth, the whole truth, as you always have. Leave teeth, hair, and eyeballs on the floor, if that results from telling the truth.” Taking Simpson at his word, Hardy shows readers a thrill-seeking teenager in Cody and a tireless politician who has thoroughly enjoyed his work. Full of entertaining tales and moments of historical significance, Shooting from the Lip offers a privileged and revealing backstage view of late-twentieth century American politics. Hardy’s richly anecdotal account reveals the roles Simpson played during such critical events as the Iran-Contra scandal and Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings. It divulges the senator’s candid views of seven American presidents and scores of other national and world luminaries. Simpson is a politician unfettered by partisanship. Among President George H. W. Bush’s closest compatriots, he was also a close friend and admirer of Senator Ted Kennedy and was never afraid to publicly challenge the positions or tactics of fellow lawmakers, Democratic and Republican alike. Simpson’s ability to use truth and humor as both “sword and shield,” combined with his years of experience and issue mastery, has led to an impressive post-Senate career. In 2010, for example, he co-chaired President Barack Obama’s Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. Shooting from the Lip portrays a statesman punching sacred cows, challenging the media, and grappling with some of the nation’s most difficult challenges.

Once there was only a whisper – the legend of a being caught between life and death, a master of shadows who bore the secrets of forgotten magic. This legend was forgotten... until today. Reborn in iron armor and with a sword as cold as the grave, a new power has arisen, bound to a destiny as twisted as the dark magic that flows through his veins. But the world is no longer the same.

In a realm full of ancient terrors, a lone warrior rises – a fragile spark in an endless storm, armed with cursed magic and an unbending will. Now a path of rebellion is forged through this unforgiving world. With every step, secrets come to light that would have been better left buried, and powers emerge that can hardly be restrained. Forged anew in the fire of revenge, unstoppable and implacable, this new champion marches toward an uncertain destiny. This world has not yet known true darkness – but that will soon change. Welcome to the edge of the unknown.
