![]() ![]() ![]() Pretty much every other woman is laughably inferior in every way.Īnita Blake is the absolute worst at this! She's all about feminism and crap but pretty much every other woman in that series is a psycho, a slut or a bitch. ![]() Of course nobody else can be quiet as awesome as Georgina. Georgina Kincaid series kind of does this as well. Oh, except for one who is so egotistical, she wants to kill Dru for stealing her spotlight. Why can't our female heroines stand up to a little competition?ĭru is the only woman in a male world. Why are other women always evil bitches? I mean, really. One more thing I wanted to add that is a culmination of a lot of other series that I've read. There isn't much to say other than the fact that the lack of any real story progress or further progression really annoyed me. I enjoy the characters of Graves and Christoph and the bevy of other characters introduced. There's a few interesting twists to keep you guessing. The action (what there is of it) is far better described and played out. ![]() There was far less stupid questions and actions by the characters that made me want to tear out my hair.ĭru is resourceful and clever in this book. I liked this book a lot better than its predecessor. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Ottoman Age of Exploration is the first comprehensive historical account of this century-long struggle for global dominance, a struggle that raged from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Straits of Malacca, and from the interior of Africa to the steppes of Central Asia. ![]() ![]() During the decades that followed, the Ottomans became progressively more engaged in the affairs of this vast and previously unfamiliar region, eventually to the point of launching a systematic ideological, military and commercial challenge to the Portuguese Empire, their main rival for control of the lucrative trade routes of maritime Asia. ![]() Contents Introduction : an empire of the mind - Selim the navigator : 1512-1520 - Ibrahim Pasha and the Age of Reconnaissance : 1520-1536 - Hadim Suleiman Pasha's world war : 1536-1546 - Rustem Pasha versus the Indian Ocean faction : 1546-1561 - Sokollu Mehmed Pasha and the apogee of empire : 1561-1579 - A man, a plan, a canal : Mir Ali Beg's expeditions to the Swahili coast : 1579-1589 - The death of politics Summary "In 1517, the Ottoman Sultan Selim 'the Grim' conquered Egypt and brought his empire for the first time in history into direct contact with the trading world of the Indian Ocean.

As I sat in the audience I thought to myself, “If he can do it, I can, too.” That was the beginning. But I didn’t seriously consider it until my brother –in-law took a playwriting class and had one of his plays produced. I have always been a reader and would sometimes think that I could write magazine articles like the ones I read. How did you start out your writing career?

Gwendolyn graduated from the University of Missouri-St. But she could count on a trip to the library to ease the transition. “It was hard always being the new girl in class,” Gwendolyn remembers about those moves. As a child, Gwendolyn was forced to explore whenever her Air Force father transferred to another base. ![]() She writes both fiction and nonfiction to encourage children to explore their world. Gwendolyn Hooks is the author of sixteen books for children. ![]() ![]() ![]() Somehow, the absent figure is the most affecting, a myth unto himself. Social scientists work to get dads more involved because research indicates that fathers’ involvement in their child’s early education is correlated not only with academic success but also with improved overall well-being. As with most US children, my mother was more involved in my educational development than my father. As with most US children who attend public schools, the majority of my instructors were female. The scene sticks with me, I think, because so many of my earliest memories involve women teaching me to read and men assigning me things to read. When I was ten, he handed me a paperback copy of Edith Hamilton’s Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes (1942) and said, “All educated people know mythology.” I took the book and ran upstairs, where I immediately wrote my name and the date in ballpoint pen on the inside cover, as if the ink was an incantatory potion that would launch me to the ranks of the educated. ![]() He was a deeply kind person who saw in our Erskine Caldwell clan something worth salvaging from the fate otherwise predicted by demographics. Growing up, my family had a patron: an artist who gave us his used Dodge Dart when my mom’s job took her off a bus line and who sometimes handed me five-dollar bills at the end of his visits to our house. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As you can see, I’m more a slave to my creations than they are to me. Now she’s out in France, Poland and Hungary. Next she insisted on a series, so my publisher, Flux, bought books three and four. One book didn’t satisfy her, so I gave her two (Revamped is the second). She’s highly opinionated and very insidious. My heroine in Vamped, Gina, is a fanged fashionista. The only way to quiet the voices in my head is to give them other characters to talk to and keep them busy with danger and daring-do. ![]() My novels all start with voices, people having conversations or opinions, viewing something through my eyes, but twisted through the lens of their own experience. The funny thing is that I don’t ever get to decide what I write…that’s up to the characters in my head. That pun sneaked up on me.) of screwball fantasy, science fiction and romance. Your work seems to be in the vein (Sorry. I recently had the opportunity to interview Lucienne about writing humor, making jewelry, the allure of vampires and forensic anthropology.

I have loved every book by Anna Burke that I’ve read (I still have to read Thorn), and I realised while reading this one that my favourites have one thing in common: boats. ![]() Right from the start, the author puts the characters in a very precarious situation, and things will keep getting worse. The Man o’ War crew is still trying to navigate life in a world where the ocean is the least dangerous place, and that’s saying a lot since it’s filled with lethal creatures and the air above reeks of deadly gas.
