Beschreibung

The Black Arrow is a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is both an historical adventure novel and a romance novel. The Black Arrow tells the story of Richard (Dick) Shelton during the Wars of the Roses: how he becomes a knight, rescues his lady Joanna Sedley, and obtains justice for the murder of his father, Sir Harry Shelton. Outlaws in Tunstall Forest organized by Ellis Duckworth, whose weapon and calling card is a black arrow, cause Dick to suspect that his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and his retainers are responsible for his father's murder. Dick's suspicions are enough to turn Sir Daniel against him, so he has no recourse but to escape from Sir Daniel and join the outlaws of the Black Arrow against him. This struggle sweeps him up into the greater conflict surrounding them all.

    If you want your characters to seduce like an interrogator, dominate like a profiler, and manipulate like an intelligence officer—you’re on the right track. 
    Cops, Detectives, FBI agents, CIA operatives (if you ever get the rare chance to meet one), and top criminal attorneys—they’re more than just power players in sexy uniforms. They carry something deeper. It’s not just the badge, the suit, or the commanding stance—it’s knowledge. The psychological insight. The ability to read a person’s every tell, to spot desire before it’s spoken, to push just enough before pulling back. 
    And that is what makes them so damn irresistible. 
    Now, you can learn their secrets—and use them to write mentally stimulating, pulse-racing erotica. 
    Listen up, lover—I’ve done the research, and I’m bringing you the real secrets of seduction straight from the playbooks of the FBI, CIA, and top interrogators. Because whether you’re breaking down a suspect or breaking down resistance in the bedroom, the tactics are the same. 
    We’re talking: 
    Microexpressions that betray hidden desires. 
    Body language that speaks louder than words. 
    Interrogation tricks that make people spill their dirtiest secrets. 
    And, of course, we’ll be whipping out the cuffs—figuratively and literally. 
    I’m stripping down the secrets of interrogation, body language, and psychological profiling—so you can write seduction like a pro. From the way a gaze lingers to the push-pull of dominance and submission, we’re bringing real law enforcement techniques into the bedroom. 
    So sit back, relax… and let me teach you how to write tension so thick, it leaves your readers begging for release.Vivia Volupta

    The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 4:
    Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
    There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
    The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.

    When my college besties both ditch me for other living arrangements, I have no other choice but to accept an offer to share a room with Killian "Killer" Palmer. 
     
     
     
    Sharing an attic space with the junior tight end for the Clearview Falls University football team is far from the ideal situation. 
     
     
     
    We are opposites in every way possible. I'm a city girl and computer programmer with a penchant for cleaning. He's an outgoing farm boy who couldn't keep his room clean if his life depended on it. 
     
     
     
    The more time we spend together, though, I begin to see Killian in a new light. He's charming, easy-going, and unfailingly trustworthy. One night in a drunken babble, I accidentally share a secret with him: I still have my V-card. 
     
     
     
    I'm not sure what's more surprising; the offer he makes to help rid me of that problem or the fact I actually want to take him up on his offer. The one big issue with sleeping with my roommate is that the lines soon become blurry and before I know it, I'm falling for him. 
     
     
     
    He's begun to win over my heart, something I never thought possible. But will a relationship with my roommate be the right end goal for us? Or will it only end our friendship? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
    It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
    By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
    His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
    His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
    W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.
