![]() ![]() ![]() As my kids grow up and start reading their massive excitement about books is reminding me how I felt reading as a kid, and making me feel I’d like something to share with them, but also maybe that I’d like to be writing something that can impact on and influence younger people in a way you maybe can’t with a more jaded adult audience. I’d written six big books of a relatively similar, highly adult type, and I just felt the need to try something (at least a little) different. So why the switch into Young Adult (kind of)? You’re known for a very adult type of fantasy. Obviously the first one was written before the deals were signed, and the second one will be well finished before the first is published, with the third well underway, so with any luck all the hooplah around the publications won’t interfere too much with the writing. It’s meant a tight turnaround, but then the books are a lot shorter than my others have been. ![]() What different pressure has this added to the writing process? It’s the first in a trilogy, which are being released very close together, 3 in 12 months. He’s trained to be a Minister instead – somewhere between priest, healer and advisor, but when his Father and Brother are killed he’s forced to take the throne. It’s called Half A King and follows the misadventures of Yarvi, a prince born with a crippled hand and hence unable to take a man’s place in the warrior society he lives in. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shamelessly biased but ruthlessly supported by reams of research, quotes, and citations. This is the definitive book on Sarah Palin. The Lies of Sarah Palin is a journalistic tour de force that vividly reveals the Queen of the Tea Party movement as a vengeful and manipulative empress without clothes. ![]() Dunn deftly places Palin in the American tradition of right-wing demagogues-from Huey Long to Joe McCarthy-and details her troubling obsession with Barack Obama as it fuels her own political ambitions and a potential run for the presidency in 2012. He also provides the shocking inside story of her betrayal of running mate John McCain during the 2008 presidential campaign and her self-serving resignation as governor in July of the following year. Based on more than two-hundred interviews-many of them with Republican colleagues and one-time political allies of Palin’s-and more than forty-thousand pages of uncovered documents, Dunn chronicles Palin’s troubling penchant for duplicity in grim detail, from her dysfunctional childhood in Wasilla through her contentious run for mayor and her failed governorship of Alaska. ![]() In The Lies of Sarah Palin, Geoffrey Dunn provides the first full-scale and in-depth political biography of the controversial Republican vice-presidential candidate and former governor of Alaska. ![]() ![]() ![]() The story is a huge web of lies, deceit, trickery and secrets that revolves around the Stark corporation family fortune and a huge secret regarding the brain transplant operation.

Yet, few know that a critique of anti-black racism forms an indistinguishable part of Arendt’s wider theorization of totalitarianism.Īlthough Arendt held Arthur de Gobineau to be the inventor of modern, eugenic racism, she also elaborated on Thomas Hobbes’ contribution to the birth of 19 th and 20 th century racist discourse. Hannah Arendt was one of the first European political thinkers to theorize Nazi totalitarianism as the logical conclusion of an earlier era of imperialist colonialism and racist foreign policy. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think it’s better to use bread that hasn’t been pre-sliced because then you can cut or tear it into chunks so you get a better custardy texture inside and WAY better crunch on the surface - very appealing characteristics of a Bread and Butter Pudding that I deem company-worthy! But ANY plain bread will work just fine – pre sliced or not. This is a stale plain white cob loaf that I had leftover from a recipe that never happened. What you need for Bread and Butter Puddingīread…butter… and just a few other things: eggs, milk, cream (or more milk), sugar (less than in most recipes you’ll find), plus sultanas or raisins, cinnamon and vanilla for flavour. And while it’s well-known as a rustic, home-style dessert of frugal origins, nowadays the humble Bread and Butter Pudding even makes an appearance on the menu at upscale bistros! Though admittedly, they tend to make it with rich and extra-buttery bread like brioche and challah, which gives it a really luxurious edge.īut today, we’re using old school, economical everyday plain white bread. □ Though I think you’ll agree there’s nothing economical about how this tastes!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() For my time, my trust, for a single chance. The bricks surrounding me may be tumbling down one by one, but I’m not sold yet, which means for the first time in his life, Carter’s the one begging. But then I start letting my guard down, and he starts showing me pieces of himself I had no intention of seeing. Sure, he may be pretty, but he’s also a walking, talking reminder for you to wrap it before you tap it. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett. His only problem? I have no intention of falling for his shi-um, charm. The film was released on December 7, 2012, in the United States and Canada by FilmDistrict. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. 27.8 million 4 Playing for Keeps is a 2012 American romantic comedy film directed by Gabriele Muccino, starring Gerard Butler with Jessica Biel, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dennis Quaid, Uma Thurman and Judy Greer in supporting roles. ![]() He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. ![]() Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. ![]() ![]() ![]() Finally, we got a break in the weather and we headed off and then we realized that we weren’t going to get as far as we thought we were going to get because batteries don’t like the cold. ![]() “Suddenly we were down at the bottom of Argentina, we had all our gear on, it was freezing cold, we were delayed three or four days because of a blizzard. We said “Yeah! I think it’s a great idea riding electric motorbikes” but I don’t think we really had an idea of what to expect,” Boorman said. As usual, Ewan and I, we’re always kind of up for a challenge and ready to go. ![]() “Being one of the first handful of people to be able to head up and go from the bottom of Argentina to Los Angeles seemed like a great idea.
