Sinossi

Part-time Writer guides the reader through all aspects of writing – from the embryonic stages of researching and planning, to the hard slog of the writing and editing, through to the presentation of the manuscript, and finally, approaching agents and publishers. At each stage, the author explains how she did it – and how the reader can do it too. * How can I write engaging dialogue? * What can I do to make my characters 'live' on the page? * Must I always 'show and not tell'? * How can I transform a hobby into a book? * When is the right time to show my work to others? * How should I present my manuscript? * Do I need an agent? * Should I self-publish? * Where can I find the time to write a novel? In her inimitable style, Marjorie Quarton merges literary memoir, anecdotes and straight talking to provide invaluable insights into the realities of being a writer, while offering indispensable advice on the trade, making this book a must-have for any aspiring author.

    Was God Pro-Choice Or Pro-life...

    ANONYMOUS ABORTED ANGELS

    Many of us remember the saying” What would Jesus do! when one encountered a questionable situation where you were not sure of what you should do. The answer was to think of what Jesus would do and just do that. Today the world is struggling to find the answer to the question of being pro-choice or pro-life? Can and should a woman have a choice to have an abortion and end her pregnancy and the life of her unborn baby; or must she follow the law and continue the pregnancy and give birth to her baby without having any say in the matter. What would GOD DO? 
    The term pro-choice is defined by many different individuals, groups and organizations in many ways. The prevailing view is that to be pro-choice means believing that a woman has the right to choose to end her pregnancy at viability or 6 weeks and for any reason she chooses regardless of the circumstances. If the pregnancy was unplanned, or due to rape, or due to incest, or medical complications it should be the woman’s right or choice to decide to have or not have an abortion. What would GOD do? 
    Pro-life advocates believe that abortion is killing an unborn baby and can be done only if any one of the following conditions exist. The fetus cannot be older than six weeks, or the mother must be a victim of rape or incest, or if the mother’s health is at risk. What would GOD do? John 3:16 AND 17 are the most well known and most often quoted verses in the bible. In fact, most people have been "led to Jesus Christ" and begin their new lives as "Christians" by hearing a version of these words: John 3:16 reads: “for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:17 reads: for God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. But what do these and other bible verses reveal to us about God and his position, his stance on abortion and the pro-choice or pro-life movements?

    In 1954, Steve Jones entered the world fragile and premature, quickly labeled “broken” by doctors and dismissed by society. But his parents refused the prevailing wisdom of the time. They chose to keep him home, to raise him with dignity, and to believe in his worth. 
    For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken is the intimate, heartfelt memoir of a brother who witnessed firsthand the struggles and triumphs of a life lived on the margins of society. Through vivid storytelling, Dr. Stuart D. Jones traces Steve’s journey: his battles with exclusion, his breakthroughs in education, his humor and resilience, his friendships and love, and the tragedy that ended his life too soon. 
    By turns satirical, humorous, and deeply moving, this book illuminates both the progress made and the injustices that remain in how we treat people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 
    Above all, it is a tribute to Steve himself—a man who was never broken, who lived with joy and dignity, and who continues to inspire through the story left behind.

    For years, Maryam Jan Akbari fought to exist in a world that tried to erase her. 
    Born a refugee. Raised in silence. Shaped by oppression. Scarred by violence. 
    In Iran, she was an invisible child—denied a name, an education, a future. 
    In Afghanistan, she became a young woman fighting for her voice—only to discover that speaking up could cost her life. 
    In Sweden, she faced the most difficult battle of all: healing the war within.

    For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, Queen Elizabeth refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, Camilla had become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she had seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort, not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005. 
     
     
     
    Angela Levin uncovers Camilla's rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with her brutal portrayal in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during COVID. Levin has talked to many of Camilla's long-term friends, her staff, and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals' hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humor, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones.
