  Face Down - The Disappearance of...

  On 27 December 1973 the nightmare began: late that night German businessman Thomas Niedermayer was kidnapped from his home in Belfast. Never seen alive again by his friends or family, he became one of the 'disappeared' and it seemed that no one knew what had happened to him.
  His wife, Ingeborg, and his daughters, Renate and Gabriele, spent the next seven years not knowing if Thomas were alive or dead. In 1980, an IRA informant led police to recover his body. But the trauma for Thomas's family was far from over: there were further devastating consequences for all of them.
  Five decades on, FACE DOWN sets out to discover what really happened in Belfast all those years ago.
  Now in its second, updated edition and the subject of an IFTA nominated feature-length documentary, this astonishing story of one family's generational trauma undermines any attempt to glamorise or minimise the effects of political violence.

  If you're a fan of Alan Doyle, you'll love and appreciate most of the stories in this book as it serves as the backdrop for a tv series that was never meant to be. Vickie Morgan had been making films and public access tv shows for years when a broadcaster trying to spend their sports budget waltzes into St. John's, Newfoundland during the pandemic (properly masked over Zoom calls of course) and offers Vickie the gig of a lifetime. 
  How to Fail at Documentary Filmmaking is a hilarious and poignant story that will give you the courage and compassion necessary to understand the problem probably isn't you.  
  "Wow, Vickie’s determination has to be admired. She'll mow her own path, she's a trooper." 
  ~ Tina Maddigan, author of Written in Stone 
  "How To Fail At Documentary Filmmaking: a novelization of the unfinished docu-series adapted from an idea for a book based on true events." ~ Josh Morgan, lives with Vickie, read the book four times

  Every Restaurant Tells a Story is a dazzling work of fiction set amid the glitter and grit of 1980s Hollywood and beyond. From smoky delis on Fairfax to five-star hotel dining rooms in London, Cannes, and Cape Town, Dianne Reeves Angel serves up a feast of film-industry folly, romantic misadventure, and self-discovery—each story anchored in a restaurant where something deliciously unexpected occurs. Told with the wit of Eve Babitz and the bite of David Sedaris, this collection of interlinked tales reveals a woman finding her voice amid martinis, movie deals, and moral hangovers—proof that sometimes the best meals come with the messiest memories. 
  What others are saying: 
  “Reeves Angel has crafted a beautifully written story revolving around the cautiously optimistic, yet ambitious Sally, and the necessary schmoozing aspect of doing business in Hollywood, and beyond.. with her lyrical descriptions, Reeves Angel may debunk the glamor myth but she nonetheless gives us an insight into the passion and the excitement of following a dream…” 
  -Marie Rowe, author of From Coventry to Hollywood 
  “Every Restaurant Tells A Story is a delicious treat for the senses… notable for excellent use of language and descriptive skill… everyone young or old would be well served to read this book. In troubling times; her stories offer reflective relief.” 
  -Brooks Brownlee, author of The Bishop

  I like to think of the Archaeologist from a more advanced society who would dig up this album hundreds of years from now, listen to it, and wonder why we needed a comedian like Barry Crimmins in the early days of the millennium. What would be the purpose of a person standing on a stage getting big laughs stating obvious facts that were already accepted by even the youngest of children in his modern society? The only society that doesn’t need a Barry Crimmins would already have hundreds of millions of Barry Crimmins.

  Clement Clarke Moore (July 15, 1779 – July 10, 1863) was an American Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature, as well as Divinity and Biblical Learning, at the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He is the author of the yuletide poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas", which later became famous as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas". This poem seems to be a 'moral' version of "The NIght Before Christmas".
