The Nurse Novel MEGAPACK®: 4 Classic Novels! by Alice Brennan,Peggy Gaddis,Ruth MacLeod,Rosie M. Banks Pdf

Reading trends change over the years. One of the now largely-forgotten genres of fiction was the "nurse novel"...which was itself a subset of the "doctor novel" and featured (what else?) the romantic adventures (usually with a doctor) of a nurse! Hundreds of nurse novels were published, with titles that sometimes stretched credulity. One of our contributors to this volume, Peggy Gaddis, seemed to specialize in nurses (she wrote dozens of books about them). Is it any wonder that authors sometimes had to stretch to find subjects that hadn’t already been covered? Titles like "Scandalous Nurse." "Future Nurse" (no, it’s not science fiction -- but it might have been!) "Nurse in the Tropics." "Resort Nurse." "Ozark Nurse." "Everglades Nurse." "Night Club Nurse." "Undercover Nurse." "Debutante Nurse." "Television Nurse." "Prison Nurse." "Poison Nurse." "Nurse Voodoo." "Hootenany Nurse." "The Nurse and the Pirate." The list goes on and on. Here are 4 classic nurse novels which will, I'm sure, whet your appetite for more: HOLLYWOOD NURSE, by Alice Brennan BAYOU NURSE, by Peggy Gaddis A NURSE FOR DR. STERLING, by Ruth MacLeod NAVY NURSE, by Rosie M. Banks If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more (even nurses!)

The Edgar Wallace Mystery & Suspense MEGAPACK®: 5 Classic Novels by Edgar Wallace Pdf

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1875–1932) was born into poverty as an illegitimate London child and left school at age 12. He joined the army at age 21 and was a war correspondent during the Second Boer War, for Reuters and the Daily Mail. Struggling with debt, he left South Africa, returned to London, and began writing thrillers to raise income, publishing books including The Four Just Men (1905). Drawing on his time as a reporter in the Congo, covering the Belgian atrocities, Wallace serialised short stories in magazines such as The Windsor Magazine and later published collections such as Sanders of the River (1911). He signed with Hodder and Stoughton in 1921 and became an internationally recognised author. After an unsuccessful bid to stand as Liberal MP for Blackpool (as one of David Lloyd George's Independent Liberals) in the 1931 general election, Wallace moved to Hollywood, where he worked as a script writer for RKO studios. He died suddenly from undiagnosed diabetes, during the initial drafting of King Kong (1933). Wallace was such a prolific writer that one of his publishers claimed that a quarter of all books sold in England were written by him. As well as journalism, Wallace wrote screen plays, poetry, historical non-fiction, 18 stage plays, 957 short stories, and over 170 novels (12 in 1929 alone). More than 160 films have been made of Wallace's work. He is remembered for the creation of King Kong, as a writer of 'the colonial imagination', for the J. G. Reeder detective stories, and for The Green Archer serial. He sold over 50 million copies of his combined works in various editions, and The Economist describes him as "one of the most prolific thriller writers of [the 20th] century." Included in this volume are: Four Just Men The Angel of Terror The Blue Hand The Clue of the Twisted Candle The Valley of Ghosts If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more!
