It takes place in California in the 1970s. This next one is called Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever, by me and Jason Cordova. In the last update I mentioned that there will be more Monster Hunter Memoirs novels, in the style started by John Ringo, but featuring different hunters in different time periods away from the mainline series, where I’ll collaborate with a different author. Noir Fatale did really well, so I’m excited for this opportunity to do more in this genre. Kacey is awesome, and I loved working with her last time. I’ll announce the authors once that is totally pinned down, but we’ve got some great and talented authors lined up for these. The third volume the theme is the city, and it’s called Down These Mean Streets. This next one is called No Game for Gentlemen, and the theme is detectives. The first one the theme was femme fatales. Up first, there will be two more volumes of noir sci-fi/fantasy anthologies like Noir Fatale, and I’ll be editing them along with Kacey Ezell again. I mentioned these in the last update, but couldn’t elaborate because contracts were still in the mail, but I’ve got three new projects on the way.

Though Alice’s mother never appears in the books, having died of leukemia when Alice was only 4 years old, her absence plays a major role throughout the series. She lives with her father, Ben, and her older brother Lester, whose two main interests are girls, and teasing his younger sister. The Alice series follows Alice Mckinley, a young girl growing up in Silver Spring, Maryland, from the age of 12 all the way to 60. Oddly enough, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who knew that the series even existed, let alone read the books. The Alice books, written by Newbery medal winner Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, have been around for 35 years (the first one was published in 1985). Right now, I’m in the middle of the final book. Though I’ve read all the books countless times over the past decade, I’d never actually read them in order. About a month ago, I purchased the three Alice books still missing from my collection, and decided to do something I’d never done: Read the entire 28 book series in chronological order. Plato on the death of socrates7/8/2023 All we can see at the site is the foundation stones of the State Prison where Socrates was held prisoner and where he was forced to drink the hemlock in the year 399 BCE. On the surface, this site is nothing much to write home about. On 16 March 2015, the group participating in the 2015 Harvard Spring Break travel study program visited the site where Socrates died-and where he said what he said about sacrificing a rooster to Asklepios. So, what does Socrates mean when he asks his followers, in his dying words, not to forget to sacrifice a rooster to Asklepios? But Asklepios, even after death, retained his power to bring the dead back to life. That is why he was killed by the immortals, since mortals must stay mortal. More than that, Asklepios also had the power of bringing the dead back to life. But first, we need to ask: who is this Asklepios? As I explain in H24H 20§§29–33, he was a hero whose father was the god Apollo himself, and, like his divine father, Asklepios had special powers of healing. I will quote the whole passage in a minute. Calling out to one of those followers, Crito, who was a native son of the same neighborhood where Socrates was born, he says to his comrade: don’t forget to sacrifice a rooster to Asklepios. His last words, as transmitted by Plato, are directed at all those who have followed Socrates-and who have had the unforgettable experience of engaging in dialogue with him. In H24H 24§45, I quote and analyze the passage in Plato’s Phaedo 117a–118a where Socrates dies.

Akata witch series order7/7/2023 But eventually, she began writing science fiction and fantasy anyway.

The awakening novel by kate chopin7/7/2023 While the specific attributes of realism as a literary style are often debated, a dedication to verisimilitude is the basic precept. Chopin is often regarded as a practitioner of regionalism or local color (the two terms are often used interchangeably). Introduce to your students concepts of realism, a literary movement in the 19th century that focused on reporting aspects of "common" life (common, of course, is a relative term). "Here was a man who escaped from tradition and authority, who had entered into himself and looked out upon life through his own being and with his own eyes and who, in a direct and simple way, told us what he saw." (from Kate Chopin: A Re-Awakening transcript) Guy de Maupassant was a French realist author of approximately 300 short stories, 6 novels, and various other writings who lived in the mid- to late- 19th century (b. "Here was life, not fiction," Chopin wrote of Guy de Maupassant in her diary.
