Wade Parker is a struggling author. After successfully launching his career with a critical bestseller, he has since nearly destroyed his career with two literary failures. To counteract this problem, he travels to Florida to spend one last weekend in his family's premiere beach house. His idea is simple - find inspiration for his "comeback" book at any cost. And he does. At a beach party, Wade encounters a woman named Anna. She instantly becomes his muse, but Wade gets the feeling she may be something more - his true love. Wade must make a choice. Does he prefer Anna as his artistic inspiration or as a conduit for a long overdue "happy" life? He cannot have both.

THE FATE of the remains of Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, has long been a mystery. Since his death at the battle of Evesham in 1265, one foot of the dismembered corpse has been confidently traced to Alnwick abbey in Northumberland, from where it disappeared, probably at the Reformation. A skull displayed in the Almonry Museum and Heritage Centre at Evesham may belong to a member of the Montfort family. Stories abound, of secret tunnels under the River Avon, and of remains collected by Montfort's widow and interred in St Mary's abbey, Kenilworth. In this booklet Dr Cox reviews the evidence for an alternative last resting place of Earl Simon's bones, and outlines the circumstances under which they might be recovered and identified. A challenge thus awaits us to provide for Simon de Montfort the discovery and preservation accorded to the last Plantagenet king of England, Richard III.

Hmmm Who's Speaking? is an inspiring collection of first-hand reports, so to speak, that the author gathered by visiting a variety of churches from a wide array of religious denominations and backgrounds. Then he shared them first with his minister and then others so that each may learn something from other members of the body of Christ. Some of his visits were to mosques, temples, synagogues, and even cults. The author hopes his reports of visits to denominational and nondenominational churches will encourage some readers who do not attend a church, or maybe feel uncomfortable where they do go, to check out another church. He feels God has a specific church in mind for you so that you will become involved in spreading the Good News about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And some of his stories in this book are about other happenings where God got his message over to the author through experiences as a Boy Scout chaplain, a Billy Graham Emergency Response chaplain, and as a chaplain for the Tulsa Juvenile Detention Center. Then there are stories about ways and things God used to get his attention either physically or with words or music or even animals like foxes, donkeys, frogs, birds, and even insects. The author's hope is that you, too, may recognize something similar that's happened in your life, and maybe you'll think, Hmmm Was that the Father, Sonm and Holy Spirit speaking?

"My name is Dylan Clark, and in 8 days, 13 hours, and 50 minutes, I am going to kill myself." Dylan Clark has lived a life worth forgetting, but it didn't start that way. At one time, he was very happy. He was in a long-term relationship with his high-school girlfriend (Casey), he was working toward a degree in college, and he had a circle of friends and family that were supportive and loving. All of that changed though - five years ago. With one horrible mistake, Dylan destroyed his relationship with Casey and, because of that, lost the will to strive for more. Now, at age 28, Dylan doesn't have much going for him. He has only one friend left (Ian), and he spends most of his life in complete isolation from others. He has nothing to look forward to in life - at least until recently. One afternoon, Dylan receives an invitation in the mail for his ten-year high school reunion. Reading the invitation makes Dylan do something that he hasn't done in a long time - smile. Dylan finally has a new purpose. He will end his misery forever on the night of the reunion. Unbeknownst to others, Dylan starts planning his exit strategy. Things come to a halt one day, though, when he receives a phone call from his father. Dylan's sister, Dakota, has been on a destructive path lately, and his parents ask if she can live with Dylan for a while - just until she gets straightened out. With no available excuses to give, Dylan must take in his sister with just one week left in his life. During that week, Dylan and Dakota become reacquainted. They learn more about each other as individuals. They push each other to become their best selves. Dylan wants Dakota to get past her addictions, and she wants him to become more like his old self. When Dakota learns of the reunion, she is determined to make Dylan go to reinvent himself. The night of the reunion quickly approaches, and Dylan is still ready to commit to his plan. However, all of that changes with just one variable: Casey. Dylan sees Casey and his inner conflict begins. In the midst of all of his former friends, emotions, and ways, Dylan must decide a few things. Does the simple sight of Casey change things? Can he fix the past? Or will he follow through on the one thing he has committed himself to? He has one night to decide.

A comprehensive account of the abbey of Evesham and its surroundings, demonstrating its full significance in the wider history of the time. Provides a fine contribution to the rich history of the region, showing Evesham's place in the life of the medieval kingdom of England. Professor Ann Williams. In c.701, a minster was founded in the lower Avon Valleyon a deserted promontory called Evesham. Over the next five hundred years it became a Benedictine abbey and turned the Vale of Evesham into a federation of Christian communities. A landscape of scattered farms grew into one of open fields and villages, manor houses and chapels. Evesham itself developed into a town, and the abbots played a role in the affairs of the kingdom. But individual contemplation and prayer within the abbey were compromised by its corporate aspirations. As Evesham abbey waxed ever grander, exerting a national influence, it became a ready patron of the arts but had less time for private spirituality. The story ends badly in the prolonged scandal of Abbot Norreis, a libertine whose appetites caused religion to collapse at Evesham before his own sudden downfall. This book integrates the evidence of archaeology, maps, and documents in a continuous narrative that pays as much attention to religious and cultural life as to institutional and economic matters. It provides a complete survey over one of the most important and wealthy Benedictine abbeys and its landscape, a stage on which was enacted the tense interplay of lordship and prayer. Dr David Cox, FSA, was until his retirement county editor of the Victoria History of Shropshire and lecturer at Keele University.

Crime in England 1688-1815 covers the ‘long’ eighteenth century, a period which saw huge and far-reaching changes in criminal justice history. These changes included the introduction of transportation overseas as an alternative to the death penalty, the growth of the magistracy, the birth of professional policing, increasingly harsh sentencing of those who offended against property-owners and the rapid expansion of the popular press, which fuelled debate and interest in all matters criminal. Utilising both primary and secondary source material, this book discusses a number of topics such as punishment, detection of offenders, gender and the criminal justice system and crime in contemporaneous popular culture and literature. This book is designed for both the criminal justice history/criminology undergraduate and the general reader, with a lively and immediately approachable style. The use of carefully selected case studies is designed to show how the study of criminal justice history can be used to illuminate modern-day criminological debate and discourse. It includes a brief review of past and current literature on the topic of crime in eighteenth-century England and Wales, and also emphasises why knowledge of the history of crime and criminal justice is important to present-day criminologists. Together with its companion volumes, it will provide an invaluable aid to both students of criminal justice history and criminology.

As a boy, David Cox lived in the dusty outback on a sheep station. His lessons came in a brown envelope from the Correspondence School, but out of doors his father was his teacher. David learned the stockman's skills of riding horses and mustering sheep and cattle, and when they were out riding his father would tell stories about old times. Sometimes they would repair stockyards or fences, and when the job was done his father would step back and say, 'Well, it's good enough for a sheep station.'David Cox concludes the moving story of his country childhood that began with The Road to Goonong and continued with The Fair Dinkum War.'I have always loved David Cox's work. Every opening is full of action and humour . In good times and bad the warmth and love of the family shine through' Magpies'Charming and touching. What a lovely way for children to learn about life in the outback a long time ago.' Good Reading
