Whispers from the Rooftops by Dalbir Kaur Khaira Pdf

Book Description The book is a varied collection of eighteen stories all very different. The connecting feature for them is that they are all about Panjabis’. Sometimes the backdrop for them is the Panjab, the land of the five rivers, and at other times it is England where the Punjabis made their second home. The stories feature secret love and betrayal. There is murder and retribution. Old age, loneliness, substance abuse, mental illness and the everyday struggle for survival all feature in the stories. Running alongside all this is humour, happiness and hope. One of the stories contains an emotional plea from a sister to a brother using the only means at her disposal to let him know her true feelings. The human capacity to show tolerance and compassion never ceases to surprise. There are stories where funny quirks in childhood develop into serious mental illness. Some of the tales have unexpected twists at the end, others leave you with many questions and baffling mysteries unsolved. Some illustrate how hard it is to accept tragedy as part of your destiny and demonstrate strong desire to manipulate the future. There are characters that display a quiet dignity in the face of intense provocation. Others have short fuses that lead to unexpected explosions. All the stories are of human interest and some have a historical significance. Most of all they are a window into a world far away and fast disappearing. The Panjabi culture is in transition and although change is inevitable it is accelerated by the infusion of the second culture. The travellers who straddle both become victims of circumstance something they never envisaged when they started their journeys.

Quiet Whispers by Sujata Mishra Pdf

Sujata Mishra is a very assiduous and hard-working poet who impresses me with her insight into poetry. I understand that she writes very well in Odia and her poems are very intriguing in English too. She already has collections of poetry to her credit that are well spoken of and I am very happy that she is bringing out Quiet Whispers, her latest one, soon. I wish her all the best with it as I have read many of her poems in English and have found them really noteworthy for making me think and her experiment with post modernism and the language. These poems are from an earlier time, soft and more in the romantic vein and direct, but still all the hallmarks of good poetry are there in them. – Prof. Ampat Koshy, Poet

A Conspiracy of Whispers by Ada Harper Pdf

Desires and loyalties clash when a sensual assassin and an intriguing enemy agent must fight together in this exciting debut by Ada Harper. For Olivia Shaw, the danger of her assignments as a deadly Whisper agent is matched only by that of her hidden status: Liv is one of the caricae, extremely rare women capable of bearing children and therefore controlled by the Syndicate’s government. When her handler sends her into the Quillian Empire, her mission is complicated by stumbling upon a kidnapping in progress. Liv is drawn deep into political upheaval when her hostage is revealed to be the infamous Red Wolf, Galen De Corvus, brother of the Quillian Empress. Worse yet, he is an altus, more sensitive than most to the pheromones of caricae. If he realizes what she is, he could expose her secret to either government and doom her to a life as breeding stock. Quillian nobleman turned operative Galen never planned to involve himself with a citizen of the cold, cruel Syn, but Olivia entices him more than she should. As they work together to protect his royal sister from a violent coup, the passionate bond between them proves to be more than mere biology. And Liv must decide if that bond is worth dropping her guard for both an enemy and an altus. This book is approximately 122,000 words One-click with confidence.

Whispers from the Shadows, Second Edition by Steven Trustrum Pdf

Whispers from the Shadows is a collection of poetry that spans more than a decade, and covers a variety of topics and subjects. The author uses his poems to discuss topics ranging from love to morality to religion to, ultimately, death. Best known for writing role-playing games, this collection of poetry that was largely written before Steven produced any commercial writing will likely be seen as an odd departure for the author.

Other Whispers by Gordon Zima Pdf

The technical man, more than any other, has put the shapes and habits, opportunities and neglects, into our time. If a man with such a bent reaches a place where he questions some of his paths, he will usually need more help than he can find within himself to take, maybe blaze, another path. Here, a man like this—Paul Sanger, still young, but old enough to sign for material to make a conscience—stumbles into accidents of aristocratic environment and friendships that will warp him into a situation of impossible love, and pull him into new technical vistas that will qualify, and energize, him for his path changes. These things will also put him in the way of another possibly impossible woman, with a conscience like his own, who refuses the obstacles posed by him in looking at her own future. The problems here—technical, academic, emotional, ethical—are contemporary...and timeless.

Whispers from the Haunted Woods by Terry Sweatt Pdf

Do ancient curses actually exist? Are there really such things as haunted bogs, ghosts, wayward spirits, the "Skin Walker"? Science and logic repeatedly say not. However, if you search these topics on your computer, you'll find countless videos and stories that cannot be explained any other way. Sure, some are fake, most of them maybe. But some indicate that there is more out there than we realize. Those who manage to find their way out of the haunted woods report life-changing experiences, often rife with regret. What they saw or heard can never be "unseen". "Whispers From The Haunted Woods" takes the reader into the realm of the unknown. Hidden in the north Georgia forests lie graves, remnants, faint traces of habitation, evidence that someone was there before the white settlers first came to North America. Places long forgotten and undisturbed. Ask the locals and they will tell you why they give these areas a wide berth. Something there could still be alive and active. Something that wants to be left alone. This is the story of a group of Boy Scouts gone rogue. Seeking an ill-gotten lost treasure, ignoring the danger signs, they decide to go off the main trail into the unknown of the deep woods. What they find, and, more importantly, what finds them, gives credence to the local's fears. Are ancient curses real? Yes they are!
