![]() ![]() And Paige’s behavior scares her more than anything – sometimes it’s hard for Penryn to know if her baby sister is even in there. She wants to feel the same as she always has toward her sister, but she finds it nearly impossible to even look at her, with her patchwork stitched up skin and razor teeth. ![]() Now that Paige has been turned into a monster of sorts, Penryn truly struggles. We saw Penryn’s struggle with her mentally ill mother in the first book, but her relationship with her little sister was solid. That might disappoint some people, but I felt like this focus of family was just what the series needed. This second book wasn’t what I expected (in a good way) because it focused on the relationship between Penryn and her sister Paige, barely touching on the romance with Raffe. I’m so glad that I picked this series back up! I really enjoyed the first book, but for some reason I didn’t ever get back to it. ![]() ![]() Editor Cookie Dutch also contributed questions for the interview.

At the moment, my office is a mountain of books and swag, lol! I will also be attending Book Lovers Con in Nashville in March. This weekend I'll be going to shiMMer in Birmingham, an all-day MM book signing. I will continue to focus on Helen Juliet for the first half of this year, then balance both the pens as equally as I can going forward. ![]() But all that's about to change! Tomorrow sees the release of new book, Thorn in His Side, a Beauty and the Beast re-telling. In that time, I've mostly been focusing on my American pen name, HJ Welch, and only released one Helen Juliet novel in all that time ( A Right Royal Affair). ![]() Well, it's been two years, but has been completely redesigned and updated. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this full and balanced biography, Brenda Maddox has been given unique access to Franklin’s personal correspondence and has interviewed all the principal scientists involved, including Crick, Watson and Wilkins. Franklin’s part was forgotten until she was caricatured in Watson’s book The Double Helix. In 1962, Wilkins, Crick and Watson were awarded the Nobel Prize for their elucidation of DNA’s structure. Bernal at Birkbeck College, Rosalind died of ovarian cancer. Five years later, at the age of thirty-seven, after more brilliant research under J. With the aid of these, plus their own knowledge, Watson and Crick discovered the structure of the molecule that genes are composed of - DNA, the secret of life. Franklin’s unpublished data and crucial photograph of DNA had already been seen by her competitors at the Cambridge University lab. In March 1953, Maurice Wilkins of King’s College, London, announced the departure of his obstructive colleague Rosalind Franklin to rival Cavendish Laboratory scientist Francis Crick. Genre: Adult Non-Fiction/Biography/Science Where I Got It: I borrowed the hardcover from the library ![]() Published October 2002 by Harper|400 pages Book: Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady Of DNA by Brenda Maddox ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One is of course the character of Tiffany: a young, precocious, plain looking girl with a lot of self-possession, who learns how to be a witch – and in the terms of Terry Pratchett that totally unlike anything you would see in a Harry Potter novel. So, now we have this Tiffany Aching subseries running, and it has a couple of elements that really define it, that make it its own. ![]() I’m glad to find it again in this subseries. Pratchett got sharper his humor turned mocking and scornful, and I felt I was losing something that made the series so enjoyable for me. The Tiffany Aching novels got a certain innocent, carefree comedic storytelling that had also been part of the previous two dozen Discworld novels, while the other, non-adult Discworld novels got angrier undertones.īefore this one I read Monstrous Regiment, in which Pratchett engaged with feminism, gender politics and war, and Night Watch before that, in which he tackled revolutions, civil war, imprisonment and other dark topics. ![]() A new subseries focusing on a young girl, Tiffany Aching, introduced a “young adult” line of novels, and, in my opinion, these Tiffany Aching novels retained a central quality of the Discworld series that I started to miss in the regular “adult” novels. In the early 2000s, with about two dozen Discworld novels behind him, Terry Pratchett changed his style a bit. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe Brad will find the mysterious girl that lay helplessly in a coma that haunts his dreams at night. Maybe Jackie will find a savior in the mysterious man that wrote the letters. But Fate has a way of changing things, of righting the wrongs. For a brief moment the two lives come together in tragedy, only to be swallowed up by time and distance. The only thing that keeps him going is his search for the face that will save him from the torment of living from day to day. Brad Crawford wants more than anything to forge a life for himself after a fatal car accident leaves him broken and alone. Forced to live with a distant relative after a fire destroys her home, her only hope is the letters that might lead her to the one man who could save her. ![]() ![]() The year is 1972, decades before videos, cell phones and the internet, when a desperate person might still get lost among the busy and the uncaring. ![]() ![]() Readers will be stunned and moved by this no-holds-barred portrait of nurses' essential and deeply meaningful work. Sanjay Gupta, MD, neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent, CNN ER Nurses captures the beating heart of nursing: the lives lost and saved, the hard tragedies and unbelievable miracles, and how every day nurses show up, give their all for patients, and then do it over and over and over again, all while holding onto their empathy and humanity. Their stories are given the respect they deserve and are captured beautifully in ER Nurses. ![]() They save our lives every day and represent the true life blood of any hospital. Sebastian Junger, author of Freedom, Tribe, War, Fire, and The Perfect Storm As a trauma neurosurgeon, I have witnessed the compassion, the work ethic, and the selflessness of our nurses in countless situations. I could not stop reading it and when I was done I felt like I was changed forever. In their own bullet-straight words, these heroes describe the pain, the love, and the brutally hard work of trying to save people's lives. ![]() James Patterson's account of the twilight world between life and death that nurses inhabit is one of the most moving things I have ever read. ![]() ![]() ![]() Today we point to the laws of physics, to the rules that underpin the evolution of the universe. In the old days, it was thought that design meant there had to be a designer, or a final cause, saying that the universe was somehow destined to become our home. That sounds crazy, and it is! Why did the Big Bang get the conditions for life right? It’s almost as if it was designed for life. Down at the level of physics, it has just the right properties for life to be possible. You might say, The Big Bang happened a long time ago, it’s over and done with, why should I bother? Well, Hawking and I came to a different view because of our baffling observation that the universe is very special. ![]() ![]() Listen to the audio version-read by Thomas himself-in the Next Big Idea App. He received his doctorate from the University of Cambridge and is currently a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Leuven, where he studies the quantum nature of the big bang.īelow, Thomas shares five key insights from his new book, On the Origin of Time: Stephen Hawking’s Final Theory. Thomas Hertog is an internationally renowned cosmologist who was for many years a close collaborator of the late Stephen Hawking. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mary Poppins is known for the line, “I would like to make one thing clear: I never explain anything,” and that seems to be the approach taken by Jankowicz and her colleagues. The Board is headed by Nina Jankowicz, a staunch advocate of censorship who has unwittingly spread Russian propaganda, and yet who styles herself as the "Mary Poppins of Disinformation," sweeping away fake news with her magic broom. Due to the global nature of the web, the DGB’s activities will impact not just Americans, but web-users across the English-speaking world. ![]() Recently, the Biden administration unveiled a new government division, the Disinformation Governance Board (DGB), which will be tasked with formulating government strategies to “protect” the public from online “disinformation”. There are increasing efforts to control what you can see. ![]() |
