backing track bring him home: Back Track J. M. Guinzy Jr., 2024-02-13 Life had been going swimmingly for literary phenomenon Alan Michaels: earth-spanning fame, a bank-stretching fortune, and a creative mind that seemed never to have churned out a bad idea. But then, just as he was at the absolute peak of his powers, Alan was met with a horrific road accident. He was lent many a scar and scab, but that was not the worst of it; ever since—what with all the blackouts, headaches, and missing memories—his words fell on the page strangely and sickly, not at all as they used to: the genius in him was gone. With his career at a standstill, a desperate Alan learns of a freshly-released convict: if the whispers were true, a dangerous yet interesting individual, keen on sharing tales of his killings with the world. A bulb lights up in Alan's head: he knows how he'd get his career back When articles begin appearing in the papers, however, Alan realizes he's bitten off more than he could chew; they are a perfect match for the grizzly murder scenes that the strangely eloquent ex-convict paints for him. And what's more? The bodies are far, far fresher than he'd first thought. |

Garrett, 2011-03-01 Atlanta and Environs is, in every way, an exhaustive history of the Atlanta Area from the time of its settlement in the 1820s through the 1970s. Volumes I and II, together more than two thousand pages in length, represent a quarter century of research by their author, Franklin M. Garrett--a man called a walking encyclopedia on Atlanta history by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. With the publication of Volume III, by Harold H. Martin, this chronicle of the South's most vibrant city incorporates the spectacular growth and enterprise that have characterized Atlanta in recent decades. The work is arranged chronologically, with a section devoted to each decade, a chapter to each year. Volume I covers the history of Atlanta and its people up to 1880--ranging from the city's founding as Terminus through its Civil War destruction and subsequent phoenixlike rebirth. Volume II details Atlanta's development from 1880 through the 1930s--including occurrences of such diversity as the development of the Coca-Cola Company and the Atlanta premiere of Gone with the Wind. Taking up the city's fortunes in the 1940s, Volume III spans the years of Atlanta's greatest growth. Tracing the rise of new building on the downtown skyline and the construction of Hartsfield International Airport on the city's perimeter, covering the politics at City Hall and the box scores of Atlanta's new baseball team, recounting the changing terms of race relations and the city's growing support of the arts, the last volume of Atlanta and Environs documents the maturation of the South's preeminent city. |

The world-record kidnappee, nabbee, swipee, snatchee, hoisted so many times even he’s lost count? (How about those three times in five minutes effort? That takes rare raw talent, that does.) I mean, if it wasn’t for our Wi how many of these yabbers, yarns, shaggy dogs and yank-your-chain whoppers could I trot out for you? Even getting across one’s not easy when it’s always against the wind from people laughing in your face. No, really, without our Wi, where would all the odd-balls be, drowning their sorrows by ingesting the food in Dominic’s Eatery, swallowing whole mouthfuls without a thought for their own safety? Would any plate get the Wi wipe and come out miraculously unscathed from what had been just laid upon it? Without Wi, how many screwballs could have hired him to do all they’ve always wanted to do? God knows, and the Talls say ‘God knows’ because, if you take it that God made him in His own image, then maybe you’ve stumbled across the one time God spoke too soon. Okay, setting that aside, coming to you is a cast of Lankan characters – and you’d cast too -- and barf, and burp – if you had some of Dominic’s food inside you, let’s not kid ourselves. Not all of us have cast-iron guts and can absorb what could canonize you if you kept it down. And our Wi can’t help being White, either. Did he ever ask for the hoists he’s had to suffer, or complained about the lack of duty-of-care his kidnappers have shown him -- their kidnappee, after all? No. All he asked was a hideaway high above the stars so bright. At least he got that. And, though having to watchfully wait, at least he received the epiphs, too. With the epiphs, he could epiphicatedly dream, so I guess he had something going for him. And let’s not forget he’s Talls recorded as having said, ‘Just let me know if I’m breathing too much and I’ll stop’. Hey, what kidnappee or country like Australia gets a kidnappee so considerate? Is he a peach of a pooch, or what? ---------------------- Bill Reed is an Australian novelist, playwright and short-story writer with national awards for all three.

Faced with an underperforming solo career, tireless media taunts and the other cruel twists of fate, Gary turned to food.

In his warm, witty and authentic voice, Gary recounts his story with compelling insight, captivating sincerity and a human side that people rarely see. From returning with a critically and commercially successful Take That and reigniting his own legendary songwriting career, going beyond recorded music to forge success on TV with The X Factor and Let It Shine, to overcoming his weight problems and crippling obsession with food, this is the story of how Gary found balance in both his personal and professional life.

Sutherland, 2016-08-01 Most Civil War historians now agree that the guerrilla conflict shaped the entire war in significant ways. Some of these “bushwhackers”—Nathan Bedford Forrest, William Clarke Quantrill, John Singleton Mosby—have become quite infamous. Illiterate Sam Hildebrand, one of Missouri’s most notorious guerrillas—often compared to “Rob Roy,” and the subject of dime novels—was one of the few to survive the war and have his story taken down and published. Shortly after this he was killed in a barroom brawl. “I make no apology to mankind for my acts of retaliation; I make no whining appeal to the world for sympathy. I sought revenge and I found it; the key of hell was not suffered to rust in the lock while I was on the war path.” —Sam Hildebrand Hildebrand’s reign of terror gave the Union army fits and kept much of the Trans-Mississippi, especially Missouri, roiling in the 1860s. Over seven years of fighting he and his men killed dozens of soldiers and civilians, whites and blacks; he claimed to have killed nearly one hundred himself. He was accused of many heinous acts. The historical significance of Hildebrand’s story is substantial, but his bloody tale is eminently readable and stands quite well on its own as a cold-blooded portrait of a violent time in American history. Like the nightmarish and depraved world of the Kid in Cormac McCarthy’s novel Blood Meridian, Hildebrand’s world is truly ruthless and his story is brutally descriptive in its coolly detached rendering of one man’s personal war. Published in 1870, Hildebrand’s autobiography has long been out of print and has been a rare and highly prized acquisition among Civil War |

backing track bring him home: American Music Patricia Falanga, 2011-03-22 A letter from America, crafted by a pair of beloved aunts, is sent overseas to relatives in Avellino, Italy. Addressed to the parents of three teenage girls, it implores them to send their daughters to the maiden aunts, for it is only in America where opportunity knocks on every door. The girls leave for America filled with dreams, but their dreams shatter after a startling realization. Can they escape misery and poverty and ultimately find joy? Find out as the three sisters carve out their destinies in American Music. The story opens in 1906 as three teenage sisters are greeted by a pair of beloved aunts on a New York City pier. The sisters soon discover their aunts' deceitful reasons for calling them to America. The eldest sister rebels and attempts an escape late one night. On the fire escape, she encounters a beautiful man, a neighbor from the tenement apartment, one flight above. After she reveals the facts of her troubled experience, she accepts his proposal of marriage. The Angenetti family settles and takes root in the slums on the Lower East Side. The head of the household takes number bets for a living, and admits to being a small fish in the syndicate's big pond. As the illicit business grows, so does the family - along with chaos and crime. Chaos increases within the household as gamblers traipse in and out the kitchen to place bets. The family keeps on the move, one step ahead of the cops. The first-born son plays with matches under the third-born infant's crib; the child is left with a claw-like hand. The family's chaotic way of life is taken as matter-of-fact. |
