African Collection for e-books
William Russo
Author22 Publishing, 1999
As any student of literature knows, a safari to the Dark Continent during the late nineteenth century proved to be the stuff of true adventure. Africa, unexplored and terrifying, inspired legends of bizarre giant animals, ferocious natives with cannibalistic tendencies, disease and insects, and the place where the frontier challenged all comers. So, of course, it proved a fertile ground for the writers of fiction and non-fiction ...

What A Hoot!
I cannot believe this stuff! How naive were they a hundred years ago? Story after story, page after page, there is a story underneath the story! Modern readers should get a real kick out of the way Alger puts his real message across.
Mark Twain Collection for eBooks
William Russo
Author22 Publishing, 2000
The Mark Twain collection for eBooks was designed specifically for the Franklin Rocket-eBook. As Ernest Hemingway once told, the origins of the great American novel are found mostly in Mark Twains story, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Innocent boyhood, in Missouri, along the banks of the Mississippi River, in the days before the Civil War may seem alien and out of touch with youth of the 21st century. But the test of great ...

More Games Afoot!
So common has the Holmes pastiche become over the past 25 years that it almost forms its own literary genre, apart from mysteries and historical novels. Veteran stage, TV and screen actor Frankie Thomas wrote a number of Holmes novels in the mid-1980s, including GOLDEN BIRD, SACRED SWORD, TREASURE TRAIN and MASQUERADE MURDERS. The series of paperback originals was cut short when the US ...

COOL LOOK AT BAD BOYS OF MOVIES
Growing up in the fifties, I loved to see how the cool guys took over the school, their street, and showed they could run the world...now I can go back and see how stupid it all was.

A Wonderful Chronicle about Living with MS
I never thought I would find a book that showed every step of a gay man's struggle with MS. Yet, here it is. This book is so conversational and easy to read that I almost felt like the writer was sitting next to me in a chair, telling me his story. And as a gay man, I found so many parallels to what I have experienced. I had such a hard time finding gay and lesbian support groups in the MS world. ...

What They Don't Teach in Film School
As one who teaches film studies, I am often surprised at how much is formulaic in the movie business. Yet, some of the most formulaic movies (murder mysteries, special effects stories) may contain the most surprises. This roman a clef tells the story of a famous Hollywood tale and the movie that serves as its backdrop. Readers of this fascinating account may be surprised, pleasantly and ...

Clearly now an author at the top of his game, Merlin presents the horrors of a poverty-stricken childhood without the depressing and unremitting perspective of McCourt's Angela's Ashes. Though the ...
