Is he just moonstruck, or is Nicol bonded to him in ways he doesn’t yet understand? Somehow though, Lindsay can’t seem to accept Nicol’s rejection. Although the attraction between them is intense, Nicol seems frustratingly determined to resist Lindsay’s advances. But Cruikshank may not be all he seems, and there are others who want the papers.Īs if that were not enough, while tracking down the Naismith Papers, Lindsay meets stubborn architect Drew Nicol. ![]() It should be a straightforward mission-all Lindsay has to do is charm an elderly book collector, Hector Cruikshank. While he’s in Edinburgh, Lindsay has been tasked with acquiring the “Naismith Papers”, the writings of a long-dead witchfinder. Lindsay cannot take the risk of being recaptured-he may have been free for a century but he can still feel the ghost of his old chains under his fine clothes. ![]() When Lindsay Somerville, the most elegant werewolf in Paris, learns that the man who held him in abject captivity for decades is on his way to France, intent on recapturing him, he knows he must leave the Continent for his own safety. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() It felt good to laugh, especially at her best friend, who rarely lost her cool. Maddie couldn’t keep her giggles back this time. “Nothing’s going to happen,” Maddie promised, “as long as you keep those feet in your stirrups.”Ī panicked look crossed Chelsea’s face and she jammed her feet into the stirrups as far as they’d go. “But my chances of breaking my neck are a lot smaller when I’m on my own two feet.” “Well, no.” Chelsea stiffened as her horse stepped around a rock in the path. ![]() “Are you really telling me you’d rather be walking up this mountain right now?” “When you invited me on this camping trip,” Chelsea said in a strained voice, her teeth gritted the entire time, “I thought it’d be like a hiking-through-the-woods kind of thing.” Maddie barely managed to stifle a laugh as her best friend, Chelsea Park, jostled uncomfortably in her saddle, almost falling off. This time Maddie swung her eyes around to meet those of the girl riding beside her. “Hellooo.” The voice broke into her thoughts again. She took a deep breath and filled her lungs with fresh mountain air. Underneath her, the horse picked up its head and snorted but kept trotting smoothly along the path. Maddie jerked, the reins snapping in her limp hands. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She wrote, produced, and directed the award-winning independent feature film, God's Will, which premiered at the Chicago International Film Festival, and was selected by the London Film Festival, the Munich International Film Festival, and Women in Film Festival, among others.

While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family-and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. ![]() She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. “Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. ![]() God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect…. ![]() ![]() And the solutions here are incredibly simple: Build more housing in places where it’s needed, build cheaper forms of housing, build housing alongside public transit, provide more housing vouchers. Plenty of other countries supply their populations with high-quality housing at lower prices. And young people are increasingly viewing homeownership, once a vital part of the American dream, as hopelessly out of reach. Developers often face the steepest obstacles to building in the places where new housing is needed most. Homelessness is rampant in cities across the country. Low- and middle-income individuals find themselves priced out of the places with the most opportunity. ![]() ![]() A massive housing shortage in major cities has resulted in skyrocketing rents. America is experiencing a housing crisis - or, more accurately, multiple housing crises. ![]() ![]() ![]() Archie and Samad-then 17 and 18, respectively-were stationed together in a tank patrolling Eastern Europe. Clara and Alsana become friends as a “rearguard action against their husbands’ friendship” (63), which dates back to 1945. Feeling adrift, Clara marries Archie just six weeks after they meet.Īrchie is good friends with a Bangladeshi immigrant named Samad Iqbal, who is also recently married to a young woman-Alsana Begum. When Ryan converted to the Jehovah’s Witnesses, however, the couple broke up. ![]() As a teenager, Clara rebelled against her childhood faith and began dating a boy named Ryan Topps, who introduced her to the commune crowd. ![]() Here, he meets and falls in love with a 19-year-old Jamaican immigrant named Clara Bowden.Ī flashback shows that Clara’s mother, Hortense, is a devout Jehovah’s Witness, and Clara was raised in anticipation of the coming apocalypse. Elated by the prospect of a second chance, Archie makes his way to an “End of the World” party staged by a hippie commune. His attempt is interrupted, however, and Archie experiences a change of heart.

According to Silverberg's introductions, the changes required to turn the three shorter works into a novel were relatively minor. These three works were later collected into a single fixup in three sections, also titled Nightwings. "Nightwings" is the first in a trilogy of novellas, the next two being "Perris Way" (1968) and "To Jorslem" (1969). It won the Hugo Award for Best Novella in 1969 and was also nominated for the Nebula Award in 1968. " Nightwings" is a science fiction novella by American writer Robert Silverberg. ![]() ![]() ![]() A third-generation single woman determined to sex him and leave him is so not prepared for being a part of the MHA team. Robin is a very interesting and intriguing character. I guess there’s no choice when its the “ONE.” Robin, however, is going to take a lot longer to get where Mickey is and the path to that discovery, while fun, is torturous, involving navigating dangerous rapids and enemy missiles over hostile territory. ![]() However, his first meeting with Robin Harrow, who’s flying command in Emily Beale’s absence, has him quickly re-prioritizing his life’s goals. Robin Harrow is one of the more interesting characters in the series, and I so enjoyed seeing her find her feet – or should I say her seat – in the MHA while she slowly but surely figures out the secrets of love and success.Įven as his teammates on the MHA team are pairing up, veteran Mickey Hamilton is definitely not ready to settle down for one woman. Kudos to the author that these technical facts are delivered in a way that builds the story rather than distracting the reader from the main event. I’ve learned a lot about fighting fire as well as the different classes of helicopters and drones that are used by the elite fire fighting Mount Hood Aviation team during the reading of this series.
