Shadow of a Broken Man by George C. Chesbro Pdf

A former circus performer and criminology professor becomes a PI in “one of the best detective novels of the year” (TheNew York Times Book Review). With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as “Mongo the Magnificent”—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Now a detective in New York City, Mongo is hired by the widow of a famous architect to find out if her husband is really dead—because a new building just went up and it looks like his work. As Mongo begins to uncover the surprising truth, his investigation gives a whole new meaning to an architect’s façade. The intrepid sleuth will need all of his extraordinary skills to find his man without losing his own life, as some very powerful forces want to send him back to the drawing board. With a freewheeling blend of mystery and science fiction elements, author George C. Chesbro introduces the man called Mongo, “the most engaging detective in decades” (Library Journal). Shadow of a Broken Man is the 1st book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Poetic Memoirs of A Broken Man by Alvin Witherspoon Pdf

Alvin R. Witherspoon is the eldest of 7 kids born to Marsha and Frank Witherspoon of Nashville Tennessee. Alvin grew up under the strictest of guidelines from a couple of very strong disciplinarians. At an early age Alvin fell into parenthood as he assumed his fatherhood duties of his first son Lajon. Realizing that his actions was now going to be viewed and possibly copied by his first son, he started to look at life a little more seriously than he had ever done before. Seven years later, Reginald, his second son was born. That's when he knew there was no doubt that the things in the past that had bothered him, would be just that, in the past, and that his life had to be filled at that point with positive examples in which his two boys would have to follow. It would be many, many years before Alvin would start to pen the emotions and thoughts that were bottled up inside him. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere (although he really knows where it came from) he found the avenue from inside, which would allow him the ability to help free himself from some of the pain that had him bound for so many year. After finally coming to grips with the things that bothered him about some of the aspects of his past, the unthinkable happened. The one thing that no parent wants to deal with while they walk this earth."THE LOST OF A CHILD." Alvin writes about the many struggles that both he and his wife would encounter on a daily basis, as they fight to maintain a level of sanity that only those that has gone through a life-altering event such as this can truly understand. Alvin has always said, "As where some of my poems may be based on some of the suppressed thoughts and feelings of my life. It hasnever been my intent to hurt anyone by the poems that I write, although some of my friends and family that are very near and dear to me, may see themselves in my writings."

Long Shadows at Noon by John Marshall Pdf

Long Shadows at Noon is a short collection of poetry and prose that addresses the richness and tragedies of life. Life has its many rewards that are often overshadowed by the pace at which modern life has captured our minds, time and attention. The shortest and darkest day of the year is the winter solstice that occurs on the 21st of December. This dark period often seems to sneak up on us with little notice or warning and we find ourselves longing for more pleasant times. Often we reflect during the deepest days of darkness on how we let another year slip through our fingertips without enjoying the recently departed summer and autumn. Life is similar. During the dark periods of our lives we often look back at happier times and long for their return. During these dark days of the solstice and of life we must remember that each new day is a little brighter and warmer. Better times are ahead and life is far too sweet not to enjoy. Unlike other poetry books Long Shadows proceeds each poem with a short essay as to its nature and motivation for being written. Life, death, love and passion are addressed in various styles and forms. Both the simplicities and entanglements of living from a mans perspective are brought forth with an emphasis on taking a truthful and deep exploration of the soul.

Starless by Jacqueline Carey Pdf

Jacqueline Carey is back with an amazing adventure not seen since her New York Times bestselling Kushiel's Legacy series. Lush and sensual, Starless introduces us to an epic world where exiled gods live among us, and a hero whose journey will resonate long after the last page is turned. I was nine years old the first time I tried to kill a man... Destined from birth to serve as protector of the princess Zariya, Khai is trained in the arts of killing and stealth by a warrior sect in the deep desert; yet there is one profound truth that has been withheld from him. In the court of the Sun-Blessed, Khai must learn to navigate deadly intrigue and his own conflicted identity...but in the far reaches of the western seas, the dark god Miasmus is rising, intent on nothing less than wholesale destruction. If Khai is to keep his soul’s twin Zariya alive, their only hope lies with an unlikely crew of prophecy-seekers on a journey that will take them farther beneath the starless skies than anyone can imagine.
