In 1918, polite women didn?t walk into saloons to discuss ousting political figures. They didn?t have illicit affairs with a married man, much less a preacher. Myra Kelly did both these things.
While she didn?t succeed in getting self-proclaimed mayor, Seamus O?Flannery ousted from office, she did help Theodore Sonnet win the battle over the church he was building for the town of Prosperity. A mutual sexual attraction develops between Myra and Theo, which turns into a full-blown obsession when Theo?s family arrives in town.
Myra loses her job as a teacher after a nasty miscarriage betrays her affair to the O?Flannery clan. She is a marked woman now, but she is determined to get back at Theo for his deceit and the O?Flannerys for their treachery. Neither of these men know the boundlessness of her hatred until it is too late.
I received quite a surprise when I logged onto my webmail account and found hundreds of Mailer Daemon emails waiting for me. Someone has collected my email address and has been using it since yesterday to spam countless number of people. If you are one of the people who received spam from my address, I apologize. I have alerted my webhost to this problem and will be looking into reporting this theft to the appropriate authorities, whatever that agency may be.
I will keep you updated about this situation because email identity theft has become a widespread problem.
William Cope Moyers, son of famed journalist Bill Moyers, paints an intimate portrait of his decade-long addiction to alcohol, cocaine and crack cocaine, describing in harrowing detail his experiences in crack houses in Harlem, St. Paul, and Atlanta. His consequent decision to make sobriety the center of his life caused him to walk away from a journalism career at CNN and follow an inner-voice that ultimately led to a vocation to help people just like himself – alcoholics and other addicted people.
AUTHOR:
Moyers is the vice president for external affairs at the Hazelden Foundation in Minnesota. A former newspaper journalist and writer for CNN, he lives with his wife and three children in St. Paul, Minnesota. For more information, please visit http://www.williammoyers.com/.
In a dusty, turn-of-the-century Catalan village, the bequest of a cello bow sets young Feliu Delargo on the unlikely path of becoming a musician. Anarchist Barcelona and the court of the embattled monarchy in Madrid teach him his first serious lessons in creativity, principle, and passion—and their consequences. When he meets up with the charming and eccentric piano prodigy Justo Al-Cerraz, their lifelong friendship and rivalry orchestrate a tumultuous course for them both. Over the span of half a century of creative struggle and international turmoil that sees them paying house calls on Picasso one year and being courted by dictators the next, they make glorious music together, and clash over virtually everything else: love, politics, and the purpose of art. When the tensions propelling a war-torn world toward catastrophe bring Aviva, an Italian violinist with a haunted past, into their lives, Feliu and Justo embark upon their final and most dangerous collaboration.

London, 1931. On the night before the opening of his new and much-anticipated exhibition at a famed Mayfair gallery, Nicholas Bassington-Hope falls to his death. The police declare it an accident, but the dead man’s twin sister, Georgina, isn’t convinced. When the authorities refuse to conduct further investigations and instead close the case, Georgina takes matters into her own hands, seeking out a fellow graduate from Girton College: Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator.
The case soon takes Maisie to the desolate beaches of Dungeness in Kent, and through the sinister underbelly of the city’s art world. But to solve the mystery of the artist’s death, she will have to remain steady as the forces behind his fall come out of the shadows to silence her.
