![]() I found myself at war with my feelings towards Jule throughout the book–one minute, my heart would go out to her and the next minute, it would beat a hasty retreat. Tough as nails and sharp as a whip, she cuts a fearsome figure, and yet her affection for Imogen reveals a vulnerable side absolutely begging for a hug. Her drive and ambition impress me while simultaneously scaring the shizz out of me. As fellow orphans, the girls form an intense friendship, laced with a darkness fed by secrets they will never share.Īaaaand at the risk of spoiling the story, I’ll leave it at that. She’s also an enterprising feminist, a scrappy survivor and a loyal bestie to Imogen Sokoloff, a loaded heiress, a social darling and an adventurous brat. Jule West Williams is a fighter, first and foremost. The concept hints at disguises and glamorous subterfuge, which should be more than enough to convince you to pick this baby up off the shelf. ![]() ![]() Bonus Factors: Unreliable Narrator, Being RichĪlluring isn’t the adjective I would normally use to describe a pile of hair, but the artful layout and color design make this cover quite the looker. ![]()

The narrator, thirteen-year-old Sara Louise Bradshaw (who goes by her middle name, Louise) talks about helping her father with crab fishing in the summer of 1941. Rass Island is a peculiar crab fishing town on Chesapeake Bay. The themes of Jacob Have I Loved (1980) include favoritism, fate, and forgiveness. ![]() ![]() Paterson is also well known for Bridge to Terabithia (1977). Paterson wrote the book after reading a history of Chesapeake Bay near Maryland and wanting to place a story in the area. The title comes from the bible verse, “As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated” (Romans 9:13). The children’s book won the Newbery Medal, the top honor for young people’s literature. Acclaimed American author Katherine Paterson’s Jacob Have I Loved (1980) follows one girl’s feelings of being less loved than her twin sister. ![]() ![]() I confess that when Patrick approached me about writing one, I was both elated for having been invited and overwhelmed by the thought of all the research that lay ahead…just for a novella. I think there will eventually be 13 in all, the next one down the pipeline being Kristopher Triana’s The Thirteenth Koyote. Since they’re all standalone stories, readers can start with whichever one they wish. His story that inspired its creation is pretty intense, one that illustrates that sometimes, art imitates life and vice versa ( you can read his story here).Īnyway, my novella, Red Station, is book #7 in the series, and it came out just last month. ![]() I marvel at Patrick for coming up with it, and I think he ought to be credited for the core concept of it. In other words, the western would have extreme horror elements with a hearty dollop of pulp to top it off. He reached out to a number of authors to write standalone novellas and novels in a genre he coined as “splatter westerns.” A splatter western is a mad hybrid of splatterpunk horror and western genres. Harrison III, did something pretty amazing. ![]() ![]() Last year, Death’s Head Press’ co-founder, Patrick C. ![]() ![]() ![]() And much too much detailed description about the methods and means she is using to stay alive.

So what was bothering me you might wonder. and it was nice to complain about the stuff bothering me as I went!

Atwood is a great writer, and if you have ever read “The Handmaid’s Tale” (which I highly recommend) you may want to give this one a try - but I don’t like it as much as I expected to, even though I am 201 pages in. ![]() ![]() I admittedly took a fairly long break from reading this one (this is my first time reading it in fifteen days - I had started reading “Kindred” which I completed, and then started reading “Lolita.”) I took a break from “The Testaments” in spite of how much I loved its predecessor “The Handmaid’s Tale” because, if I am being quite honest here, something about “The Testaments” just doesn’t work for me. ![]() I am not liking “The Testaments” as much as I thought I would, even though I really loved “The Handmaid’s Tale.” ![]() ![]() ![]() The Untethered Soul at Work will transform the way you think about the concept of work, while opening you to greater joy, connection, and satisfaction in your own chosen field.
