Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, The Book That Changed the
WorldMonster: Publishing to coincide with the 200th anniversary of
the publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and a movie starring
Elle Fanning as Mary Shelley, Monster is a brilliant fictionalized
biography akin to The Other Boleyn Girl. Frankenstein: Two
centuries ago this year, the young woman who invented science
fiction was only 20 when she wrote the book that became
Frankenstein. Mary Shelley said, "People ask how I, then a young
girl, could think of, and dilate upon, so hideous subject?" Gothic
Romance: Her father gave her a far better education than any woman
of the age could hope for and made her the victim of ongoing
incest. At 15, she became involved with one of the greatest poets
in England and made love to him on her mother's grave. When she was
16, she escaped from home by running away for a six week walking
tour of Europe and formed a menage a trois with Shelley and her
sister. Mary Shelley - Frankenstein: Her immediate influences were
two of the greatest poets of the age. Her lover, Percy Shelley,
coached her to expand her understanding of writing. Her mentor,
Lord Byron, challenged her to prove she was as good a writer as the
best poet-philosophers of the Enlightenment. Both men admired her
mind, and both wanted more. By the time she was 20, she published
the book that changed the world.
After reading Pete Carroll's book "Win Forever" I had a really good
feeling about the Seattle Seahawks and their 2013 NFL season. Call
it a premonition, but I kind of knew this would be the year they
would go to and win their first Super Bowl. Having this awareness
at the outset of the season, I realized that I had an opportunity:
why not create a week by week chronology of the season as it
progressed, documenting the team's exploits as they advanced
through the campaign to the Big Game? I am also a blogger and I
thought it would be cool to publish my reports, both as the season
went along as a blog, and after it was over as a book. So that is
what I did, and that is what you have in "Why Not Us? A Chronology
of the Seattle Seahawks' First Super Bowl Championship Season." If
you are a "Twelve" or just a fan of football, you will love it
As a young man learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not
of this earth, he journeys to discover where he came from and what
he was sent here to do. With the help of special rocks, he
transforms the world into one dreamed of by Nikola Tesla whose
theories on quantum physics where ultimately proven to be a true
science. The odyssey takes him around the world finding resistance
at every turn. He creates so much havoc that a one world leader
puts out a death warrant for his life. The love in this world had
died and he was the only one that knew why. The truth had become an
act of terrorism while the punishment comes from a guillotine. The
hate that infected society turned many into zombie like lizard
people that came from a foreign DNA injection turning some into
half-human half-animal creatures. It came from a lie by the one
world leader convincing them that if they received the needle they
could become immortal. The demons that lived in our dreams are no
longer living in another dimension. They are here on earth now
pushing the One World Government in the direction that was chosen
by the dark lord. His hatred for humanity is the one prevalent
indicator of his plan as billions are put to death without cause.
With this, the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world
from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind by
using a holy plant that had been demonized.
