King at his best
I absolutely loved the mini series, so much that I bought the DVD and watch it again, every now and then. The book, written as a screenplay, is almost better, if for no other reason than King's side comments. He is brutally honest with a dry, biting wit and a morbid sense of humor. Here he uses his unique world view to tell the story of the New England coastal island of Little Tall, the same ...

Mary, Queen of Heaven

Though she is mentioned less than 20 times in the New Testament, Mary--mother of Jesus and queen of the saints--has become a universal symbol of feminine wisdom and succor. An elegant and eclectic celebration brings together classic images of Mary, tributes to her by the great writers, and true-life stories of her miracles and visitations.

"Sub-Umbra, or Sport Among the She-Noodles" & So Much More!
Readers Beware: This is NOT John Steinbeck's novel :) ! THE PEARL wasn't originally a book, but rather an underground men's magazine, the publication of which spanned the 18 months from July 1879 to December 1880, when it ceased publication. Considered the height of scandalous in its day, THE PEARL strikes the modern reader of erotica, densensitized by a deluge of visual images on the Net and ...

THE LAND TO WHICH WE BELONG...
In this, the author's second published work, the author writes about that which she knew best, early pioneer life in Nebraska, the place to which she and her family moved in 1883 when she was a mere slip of a girl. She eventually attended the University of Nebraska, graduating in 1995, at a time when most girls did no such thing. In this work, the author was on very sure footing. Her clear, ...
