The Lost Child series is a gripping crime drama set in the
Nantahala Gorge region of western North Carolina. It was inspired
by a particularly dynamic little girl. Volume One of the series,
Anguish in the Nantahala, is a tragedy that any family could
suddenly be confronted with. The story will take you through the
grief the girl's family experiences when she goes missing, through
various levels of anguish and turmoil affecting each family member
in a different way, challenge you with the dilemma of how far would
you be prepared to go to save your child? - and puts you through a
dramatic conclusion. For those who want more, Volume Two, Lost
Child - Retribution in the Nantahala, fulfils your need for justice
while at the same time putting you into a position where you have
to come to terms with how being the agent of retribution changes
you. Not for the feint of heart, the Lost Child saga may make you
weep while making you capable of murder - and of coming to terms
with all that that entails.
In Gene Skellig's terrifyingly plausible military techno-thriller,
Winter Kill - War With China Has Already Begun, you will be
immediately drawn into the strong characters of this richly
detailed adventure. As the pace accelerates, you will become
wrapped up in the action at the local level. At the same time, your
thirst for the economic, geopolitical and military context of the
war will be thoroughly satisfied. With unexpected developments and
twists, this story will confront you with the daunting challenge of
surviving in the Winter Kill world, just as it confronted the
people of the Sunshine Coast communities of the Pacific Northwest
and numerous strategic locations around the world. When the Nuclear
Extinction War (NEW) begins, it comes as a complete surprise to
just about everybody. But for retired military planner, Casey
Callaghan, it represents the culmination of the worst case scenario
which he had feared was inevitable - and one for which he had made
extensive preparations. His motivation is the security of his wife
and five small children, his extended family and as many of his
friends and neighbors as he can save. The world is faced with the
unimaginable devastation of a global nuclear winter which kills off
95% of humankind like the winter kill of a crop in nature. Survival
has suddenly become very personal. To make matters worse, a rogue
police officer is out to get Casey. While Casey and Constable
Walker wage war on a very personal scale, the global war grinds
towards its inevitable outcome. After reading Winter Kill, you just
might look at China differently and see, as Casey Callaghan does,
that we are blindly rushing towards catastrophe. All it will take
to set off a devastating cascade of events is one repugnant
conclusion in the mind of an evil genius.
'Homustei' wa kaigaide homustei wo surutameni benkyo shiteiru

tsuitekimasu. Good luck Recently graduated from university, 24 year
old Sumiko Kichida has her whole life ahead of her. Rather than
throwing her life away for her career or by becoming a Japanese
housewife, Sumiko takes the road less travelled. Her plan to
improve her English by going on a year-long homestay in Vancouver
goes completely haywire. Sumiko is suddenly on her own, forced to
use her very basic English skills with nobody looking after her.
Embracing what the Universe has put in front of her and with her
lively spirit of adventure, Sumiko encounters people and situations
which propel her English skills to new heights. But the most
wonderful aspect of her trip is the unexpected romance that takes
her life in an entirely new direction. This book helps prepare ESL
students for a homestay in Canada. It is written in natural
English, so it will be extremely challenging for ESL students.
However, it will reinforce some strategies which help activate and
improve conversational English as well as introduce cultural
information, idioms and useful vocabulary. A link to a blogsite is
provided with the book, to expand upon the material presented in
the novel, at the user's discretion.
