Monsters in the Movies by John Landis6/25/2023 Though he's gone on to many other projects such as Innocent Blood, The Blues Brothers, Animal House and Burke & Hare, John Landis' love of a good monster remains strong as ever!

Circumscribed by mountains, it lies a few hours north of Tokyo by Shinkansen, the Japanese high-speed rail lines. The city of Morioka, in Iwate Prefecture, however, is often passed over or outright ignored. Now, travelers are beginning to stream back to popular destinations like Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

Broken wings by carla stewart6/23/2023 TKM: What do you answer when people ask, “What do you write?”Ĭarla: My most common answer is “Inspirational Fiction.” Then if they ask more questions, I tell them I like to explore tough subjects in novels with a nostalgic flavor. THEN I allowed myself to be excited, but it still felt a little surreal, and being the worrier that I am, I held my breath until the contract came and I saw it in writing. The next week I was offered a two-book contract from FaithWords. My agent brainstormed it with me (thank you, Sandra!), and in four days I wrote a synopsis and three chapters. I had a germ of an idea, but had not plotted the story. To make a long story short, the YA novel I had completed was rejected, but the question came back, “What else?” My agent interpreted that as meaning they were interested in a multi-book deal. This was immediately followed by panic as the editor also wanted to know what else I had. Relief that finally someone was interested. TKM: What was your first thought when you found out Chasing Lilacs had been accepted by a publisher?Ĭarla Stewart: Shock. This post contains affiliate links as an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. So I asked Carla to drop in for a chat about writing and her novel, Chasing Lilacs. North American Martyrs Kids Activity Book. This tenth anniversary edition, published to coincide with seventy years of India's independence, is revised and expanded to bring the narrative up to the present. But the book also writes with feeling and sensitivity about lesser-known (though not necessarily less important) Indians - peasants, tribals, women, workers and musicians.Massively researched and elegantly written, India After Gandhi is a remarkable account of India's rebirth, and a work already hailed as a masterpiece of single volume history. Guha gives fresh insights into the lives and public careers of those long-serving Prime Ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Moving between history and biography, the story of modern India is peopled with extraordinary characters. Ramachandra Guha writes compellingly of the myriad protests and conflicts that have peppered the history of free India. Ramachandra Guha's hugely acclaimed book tells the full story - the pain and the struggle, the humiliations and the glories - of the world's largest and least likely democracy.While India is sometimes the most exasperating country in the world, it is also the most interesting. Born against a background of privation and civil war, divided along lines of caste, class, language and religion, independent India emerged, somehow, as a united and democratic country. |
