November 2011Lynda La Plante
by Julia Hallam, Jonathan Bignell, Sarah Cardwell, Steven Peacock
Lynda La Plante is Britain's most successful and well known screenwriter and the first woman to win the prestigious Dennis Potter writer's award. Attracting millions of viewers, the popular and critical success of La Plante's work is central to understanding changes that shook the UK television industry in the late twentieth century. This critical introduction, the first account of her work, focuses on three innovative serials: Widows (ITV, 1983), Prime Suspect (ITV 1991) and Trial and Retribution (ITV 1997). In each chapter questions of gender and genre, acting and stardom and authorship and value are mapped against the changing relationship between women and the television industry. The final chapter traces La Plante's metamorphosis from 'just a writer for hire' to the astute businesswoman she has become through a focus on the trans-national appeal of dramas such as Killer Net (C4 1997) and Bella Mafia (CBS 1997). ;

June 2009Surviving A House Full of Whispers
by Sharon Wallace (Author)
Sharon suffered continual physical and sexual abuse from her stepfather for seven years. Unfortunately, no one would listen to her or believe her story. At age 16, she finally finds the courage to flee from her tormenters. Social Services find her the first of a string of temporary jobs between which she criss-crosses England trying to find a safe haven. However, she cannot escape her "night devil" completely until she comes to terms with her past. Sharon's growth and recovery from abuse and learning to accept love would be a long road to travel, taking nearly forty years to achieve. She had to learn to trust and love herself before she could another. Faced with society's judgments against her, Sharon stood alone against the people who abused her for seven years. The truth is, we don't start to heal when taken from an abusive situation; we only start to digest and relive its emotional content. Many go on to live their lives with tortured souls and an inability to trust and love their own children. Equally, many of us find the inner child that God intended; we pull that child past the empty adult left by years of mutilation of our childhood souls. I was a no-hoper, unjustly cast out into a world of desolation and loneliness that pulled at my heart like a lead weight. I self-harmed and mutilated parts of my mind and body to try and erase memories. Eventually, I learned that healing was within me and could never be found under that largest or smallest boulder. I have walked the road of hope and desire and looked into the pool of my future. I did not want to be the mother they had raised, or the wife they had created. Slowly, I started to rebuild my life and my wish is that this book offers the same hope to you. Therapists' Acclaim for Surviving a House Full of Whispers "This is the story of one girl's fear and battle to survive the emotional traumas and deprivation of her past. I can thoroughly recommend this book which will help anyone who is, or has, suffered abuse." --Lynda Bevan, author Life After Betrayal "A very honest account, and a very accurate view of the feelings, thoughts and behaviors of people traumatized in childhood and youth. If you suffered in childhood, or are in a helping position to those who have, then you must read this book." --Robert Rich, PhD, author Cancer: A Personal Challenge The Reflections of History Series from Modern History Press ModernHistoryPress.com Autobiography: Women

by Lynda Miller
Jillie Harte (code name—the Sparrow) a documentary film maker is an agent for the NAS (Normal, Abnormal, Strange) Agency. Her assignment—find The Carmaletta Choker before it falls into the wrong hands and destroys the world. Franklin Doherty and associates are suspected of having the choker, and they are definitely the wrong hands! To get close to Franklin, Jillie is producing a film on “Decoration, Fashion, and Accessories Throughout History," featuring his antique collection. Her assignment is complicated by Griff Ryland, her new, hot cameraman, who is also looking for the necklace. Griff is an enigma. Is he friend or foe? And why is she so distracted by his "pure sex on a stick" appeal? Like the Sparrow, Griff, aka the Hawk, needs to retrieve the choker. It disappeared from his dimension years before, and his job is to bring it back. Since he can shapeshift into a hawk or a mountain lion at a moment's notice, Griff feels certain of success. But he doesn't bargain for a sassy, sexy redhead—and for his overwhelming urge to settle their differences in bed. Now Griff and Jillie must not only overcome the deadly dark forces who want the choker, but they must also face their developing relationship. And they thought saving the world from evil and chaos was hard.

Now the choker’s curse is more powerful than ever, and the universe hovers on the brink of collapse. While most of the world remains unaware, in Hollywood, a new production company is casting a film about a necklace with mystical powers—a tale eerily reminiscent of the Carmaletta Choker.

They are unaware that Declan, the sinister shape shifter who had previously possessed the necklace, and Gailan, an ancient earth mother who dwells in The Garden of the Gods, have teamed up with three Japanese werefoxes who are masquerading as stunningly beautiful women. Theirplan? To seduce Griff into joining the side of evil and helping them recover the necklace. Conflicted by her mixed feelings of love, desire and anger toward Griff’s betrayal, Jillie has no choice . . . . To save the world, The Sparrow must first save The Hawk. And to do that, she’s going to have to prove to the seductive werefoxes—and herself—that what Griff needs is real woman!

On Consolation
Finding Solace in Hard Times
by Michael Ignatieff
To console someone to be a source of meaning and understanding amidst the pain and loss of life is one of the hardest things a person can do. More and more it's being sought after, not in religious institutions, but through individuals and personal networks. Less and less it's being associated with political traditions, particularly those on the left that tell us to fight, to resist the status quo rather than to accept. Michael Ignatieff explores how those of us who live in a secular world, without the comforting thought of an afterlife free from suffering, have found a modern form of consolation through the religious structures of the past. Using the history of the psalms from the Jewish and Christian traditions, Ignatieff revives these masterpieces to understand the power of their words, and their limits. On Consolation is tragically relevant to our current age, but that is what makes it all the more necessary. Through this book, we learn what it means to find consolation to balance struggle with submission, acceptance of defeat with the lasting light of hope.

FictionMarch 2016Reader Meet Author
by N. S. Calcutt
We have a precious, finite life on this planet and I've spent a healthy percentage of it masturbating and watching Coronation Street. Reader Meet Author is a semi-autobiographical novel set in Manchester in the 1970s and 1980s. Through sincere, adept observations and humorous recollections, the young protagonist tries to come to terms with dysfunctional family life and two life shattering blows: the death of his mother and the infidelity of his girlfriend. Beyond what appears to be a light-hearted rant at society, is a tale of depth and fragility. With humour, insight and pathos, the author conveys the story of an adolescent searching for stability and belonging.

Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2016Andares de un Artista: Poemas y Arte
Poemas y Arte
by Ann A. Guerra
Andares de un Artista no es un libro comun. Es una caminata a traves de las calles de la experiencia. Calles que a veces han sido crueles e implacables; otras, frivolas e indiferentes. Ausencias de amores, de todo. Desavenencias que han producido un profundo dolor humano, y que han hecho brechas, dejando profundas cicatrices. Pero tambien esas mismas calles sirvieron de escenarios para los dramas que alli se desarrollaron, impactamdo profundamente mi sentir. Dando paso a la inspiracion que, dio forma y vida a mis poemas y lienzos. Por ultimo, tocando las fibras mas sensibles del alma romantica y algo aventurera del poeta que vive en mi.
