Book Description
Talking Books sets out to show how some of the leading children's authors of the day respond to these and other similar questions. The authors featured are Neil Ardley, Ian Beck, Helen Cresswell, Gillian Cross, Terry Deary, Berlie Doherty, Alan Durant, Brian Moses, Philip Pullman, Celia Rees, Norman Silver, Jacqueline Wilson, and Benjamin Zephaniah. They discuss with great enthusiasm: *their childhood reading habits *how they came to be published *how they write on a daily basis *how a particular book came together *a type of writing that they are especially known for. Through in-depth interviews, they each reveal their approach to their craft. Much is know and spoken of the product that is the children's book, but it is rare that writers are given the opportunity to talk at length about the process of writing for children. Talking Books redresses the balance by presenting a wide selection of authors (of fiction, non-fiction and poetry) reflecting upon the joys and challenges of the craft, creativity and process of writing for children.

Small Town Christmas Books 1-3 Bundle
Author: D. Allen
Publisher: DN Publishing
ISBN: 1945336374
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
The Small Town Christmas series follows couples as they find love at Christmas time. This bundle contains A Christmas Reunion, A Christmas Charade, and A Christmas Spark, books 1, 2, and 3 in the Small Town Christmas series. A Christmas Reunion (Book 1) I’ll be home for Christmas… Tracy Slater may be a successful pop star, but fame and fortune isn't everything she thought it'd be. Under the thumb of a husband who is growing steadily more abusive, she's decided her marriage is over. She just needs to make it through one more trip home for the holidays with him before she’s free. If only in my dreams… Stephen Austin worked hard to become the successful novelist he’s always wanted to be. So why isn't he happy? And why does he feel so lonely? Then he runs into his old girlfriend, the one he thought he had lost forever. Tormented by the mistakes of their past, Stephen sees his reunion with Tracy as a second chance. But does she feel the same way? A Christmas Charade (Book 2) It's time I found myself... Charlotte Barlow has steadily been working her way up to her dream job at a magazine in New York City. But her success comes at a price: she's the only one single in her family, despite her mother's hope that she settle down. Totally surrounded in your circles... Kaden might be the new guy at the magazine, but it doesn't take long for Charlotte to catch his eye. When the editor-in-chief pairs them together for a project, Kaden sees it as the perfect opportunity to ask her out. Only, Charlotte has other ideas. Desperate to please her family for just one year, Charlotte asks Kaden to pose as her boyfriend on her trip home. Faced with another lonely Christmas, Kaden agrees. Among the decorations and home-cooked meals, it doesn't take long for feelings between them to develop. Are they real or just a product of the charade? A Christmas Spark (Book 3) Please come home for Christmas... Tanya Bennett is still feeling the effects of her mental breakdown from last year. She lost a lot of loved ones in a short period of time, but most notably her son, who she can't see without supervision. She's doing the best she can to keep it together, but a bad reputation is hard to overcome. Her only hope at a happy Christmas is how well her upcoming court date goes. If not for Christmas, by New Year's night... Adam Allen is still trying to figure out how to co-parent with his controlling ex, who is always quick to criticize his parenting. It doesn't help that he's so forgetful and he works a lot, but at least he's trying. It's hard for him to find someone who can relate, until he meets Tanya. Adam feels an instant connection with her, but her episode the year before has ripple effects that could alter both of their relationships with their kids.

Muse, Odalisque, Handmaiden
Author: Rose Simpson
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 1913689115
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
A memoir by a member of the Incredible String Band that charts a journey from hippie utopia to post-Woodstock implosion. Between 1967 and 1971 Rose Simpson lived with the Incredible String Band (Mike Heron, Robin Williamson and Licorice McKechnie), morphing from English student to West Coast hippie and, finally, bassist in leathers. The band's image adorned psychedelic posters and its music was the theme song for an alternative lifestyle. Rose and partner Mike Heron believed in, and lived, a naive vision of utopia in Scotland. But they were also a band on tour, enjoying the thrills of that life. They were at the center of "Swinging London" and at the Chelsea Hotel with Andy Warhol's superstars. They shared stages with rock idols and played at Woodstock in 1969. Rose and fellow ISB member Licorice were hippie pin-ups, while Heron and Robin Williamson the seers and prophets of a new world.
