For many years, we’ve been providing writers of children’s fiction and children’s illustrated fiction with expert feedback on their work via our manuscript assessment service. Finding parallel phenomena – ancient or modern – of similar textual pluralities and evolution could help to refine these new models. Working solely on the basis of the so-called Masoretic Text is no more methodologically tenable, especially when it comes to the methods of literary and redaction criticism. Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, it has become clear that, when attempting to discern the oldest text of the Hebrew Bible, we are in need of new and better models of textual transmission that take into account all extant textual evidence. Canonicity and authority of one textual form over another, textual plurality, and scribal freedom in the early transmission of the Hebrew Bible have in the recent decades become prominent topics in the methodological discussions of biblical scholars. In The Sovereign Individual, Davidson and Rees-Mogg explore the greatest economic and political transition in centuries-the shift from an industrial to an information-based society. In their ensuing bestseller, The Great Reckoning, published just weeks before the coup attempt against Gorbachev, they analyzed the pending collapse of the Soviet Union and foretold the civil war in Yugoslavia and other events that have proved to be among the most searing developments of the past few years. Their bold prediction of disaster on Wall Street in Blood in the Streets was borne out by Black Tuesday. The Sovereign Individual details strategies necessary for adapting financially to the next phase of Western civilization.įew observers of the late twentieth century have their fingers so presciently on the pulse of the global political and economic realignment ushering in the new millennium as do James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. Two renowned investment advisors and authors of the bestseller The Great Reckoning bring to light both currents of disaster and the potential for prosperity and renewal in the face of radical changes in human history as we move into the next century. Ginny became European champion three times in a row – in 1985 with Priceless, in 1987 with Night Cap and in 1989 with Master Craftsman. Priceless led the charge, defying the critics who claimed he was too common by backing up world and European team golds with a win at Burghley in 1983. “I’m not particularly competitive, but I am determined.”Īnd so began that extraordinary run of results, when, as Ginny explains, “everything went right”. “I would go up to London on the train once a week to try to find a sponsor,” says Ginny, whose efforts eventually paid off with backing from British National Life Assurance. As they started to make their mark, she set about securing financial support. Ginny admits that she was close to giving up when she started schooling Priceless and Night Cap, two five-year-old Ben Faerie sons bought locally in Devon. Disappointments came thick and fast, however, as all three of her advanced horses were forced into early retirement with health issues. We all want to retire in a country where we have better leaders. "We are available to mentor our younger politicians. Speaking of his friendship with Duale, Ruto said that the politicians should learn from them. It is good to be genuine with friendship, loyal to friends and it's good to speak your mind when things go wrong," Ruto said.Īs much as Duale is a team player, the President said the CS is problematic but they have always built a team. "Loyalty has paid for me and it has paid for Duale. Ruto was speaking at Serena Hotel when Duale unveiled his highly publicised book 'For The Record'.Įmphasizing loyalty, the President said he was hopeful the younger politicians can learn from them that loyalty pays. You have learned from me and we have all grown together as friends," he said. On Thursday evening, Ruto said that the CS being one of his close friends, is always there and he could count on him. President William Ruto has paid tribute to Defence CS Aden Duale, describing him as a loyal friend.

Nevernight is the first in an epic new fantasy series from the New York Times bestselling author, Jay Kristoff. I think that dream took shape around the age of twelve. They were my saviors from bullies – people who understood me. I spent a lot of recess time in my school library and became fascinated with not only the books, but the authors who had their names on them. Q: When did you know you wanted to become an author? My favorite novels are Olivia and Jai by Rebecca Ryman, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton. Q: What are some of your favorite novels?

It’s a perfect read for book clubs! (Be sure to check out my review and discussion questions). But at the heart of the novel is a woman trying to find her place in the world. There’s even a supernatural element, too. The Beautiful Strangers by Camille Di Maio is a captivating historical fiction novel full of Old Hollywood, romance and mystery. I mean, we’re told she’s in a coma, but that’s not really how comas work, right? So this is really the tip-off at the very beginning that something is going on besides the car accident that landed Amber in that state. And in the Now, she is in some kind of coma where she can hear and understand what’s happening around her, but can’t move or respond. In the Then, she’s a struggling TV producer with a horrid boss and suspicion that her husband is cheating on her. But in this instance, I promise it is done right and it enhances every sizzle and pop this fast-paced plot possesses. At this point, we mystery/thriller readers have a love/hate relationship with the past/present storytelling trope. It let me know I was always getting closer to something happening. The narrative fluctuates between Now (Boxing Day and beyond) and Then (the week before Christmas.) I liked the shorter span between the duelling timelines. I don’t know that I can write this review without spoilers, because every single aspect of the book is somehow involved in the twists & turns, but I will definitely try and give fair warning if I’m going to let something spoiler-y slip. His selfish, uninhibited and flawed nature seems to bring out similar qualities in those with whom he associates: Like the writing itself, you either “get or you don’t.” Although a self-professed devil, Dougal is not an evil man, merely impish.
