Book Description
It is of great honor and privilege that I present to the readers writing that will give those who possess these words in their view all that can have many to tell others what they have purchased as a powerful reminder of past, present, and future writings. During my years of sharecropper’s son for nineteen years. God bless to have an Afro-American father and mother who were able to buy and farm many produce for market purchases. It was there on this farmland in Hobbsville, North Carolina. As the youngest of eleven children, it was in rural North Carolina where my father and mother have one large farm. During these years, Daddy purchased the farm, owned a small store, was a preacher of the gospel, was a pastor, and was a leader of a rural country congregation. But it was never his obligation and duty as a father of eleven children, but he maintained who he was. I grew up going to school in a red brick schoolhouse attended only by Afro-Americans (Negros) for many of my younger years. By now, I came accustomed to the beginning of freedom but still slaves; it was there in rural North Carolina that I learn what slavery was all about. My father and mother raised eleven children from the sweat and tears while dealing with racialism in the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s, but they were able to raise eleven professional children as follows: Thomas E. Nowell—a military, postal worker, construction (building swimming pool) Lillian Nowell (Franklin)—works for the Bell Telephone Company, raising four children Ruth Nowell (Drew)—works in Bell Telephone, usher in church Mildred Nowell (Boyd)—works in Bell Telephone, usher in church Nurney L. Nowell Sr.—IRS, bridge and tunnel toll booth (captain), has three children Harold Nowell—military service, mass transit authority (train operator) Willie Nowell—military service, a custodian in school system Marjorie Nowell (King)—a housewife and a mother of four boys Lillie Mae Nowell (Chappell)—first son, nurse, and usher in church Arthur Nowell—serves in the United States Air Force, E-8, retired from twenty-two years of service, works as an ROTC instructor, taught Baltimore, Maryland, school system Rev. Dr. Charles L. Nowell Sr.—has three children, served in the United States Air Force for eight years and six months, honorably discharged in November 1974 This will give readers a close look at my past and now. Thank you.

Pages : 191
Book Description
A new Amos Walker mystery from award-winning author Loren D. Estleman! Amos Walker is hired by one Francis X. Lawes, a private-sector mover and shaker in Detroit politics, to prove that his wife, Paula, who disappeared under sinister circumstances shortly more than six years ago, is dead, so he can remarry without having to wait for the seven-year-declaration-of-death rule to kick in. Walker’s investigation is complicated by two facts: the police still consider Lawes the prime suspect, and the first-responding officer in that old case was killed in the line of duty shortly afterwards and his notebook has never been found. The question for Walker is, if Lawes is guilty, why would he put himself in jeopardy of arrest and prosecution by giving the forensics team a body to work on? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

There Comes a Midnight Hour

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
One of the most respected voices of contemporary dark fiction, Gary Braunbeck, returns with all the gravity of an imploding star to chronicle the inescapable grimness of our human condition with There Comes a Midnight Hour. The full moon portending mysterious occurrences and nocturnal creatures as it illuminates your surroundings has had a shroud pulled over it by the author's deft hand. In this midnight hour, there is no light to guide you, no matter how dim, as each story pulls you inexorably deeper into a desolate world paved with terror and smothered by an atmosphere of doom. Those fragile things ground into dust underfoot by your progress here are not twigs or dead leaves but your illusions of safety. While others map beaten paths on the literary landscape Braunbeck explores a veritable Marianas Trench where the sun never rises and toxic currents drag you through the bones of primitive things half-remembered-order, complacency, hope-making for a searing journey you'll never forget. This collection brings together some of the author's most hard-hitting stories published over his celebrated quarter-century career, those with such a resounding emotional core you are left contemplating them long afterward. There Comes a Midnight Hour illustrates not only how profound an impact genre fiction can have on a reader, but also why Braunbeck's work has influenced the next generation of horror authors. Discerning lovers of all things dark who have become jaded and are counting down the seconds for a volume of stories to distinguish their shelves...look no further. Your time has run out.
