Big swiss jen beagin novel5/31/2023 ![]() (When she wasn’t waitressing, cleaning houses was among the jobs Beagin held down over the years.) She did try to dissuade the caller. The foundation was honoring her first novel, Pretend I’m Dead, an idiosyncratic book narrated by a house cleaner who gets too involved with her clients. “I kept saying, ‘Writing foundation?’ We went back and forth like that for a while.” Beagin eventually accepted that she was among the 2017 recipients of a $50,000 grant for emerging writers. ![]() “I was 47, and I’d been waitressing full-time for seven years, writing in the early mornings, and I was burnt out.” At first, she thought the Whiting Foundation was a scam. When she got the call that would change her life completely, Jen Beagin was in the middle of using a hair dryer to warm up the freezing sheets of her bed in a beautiful but unheated 300-year-old Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. ![]() ![]() ![]() At Waterloo itself, the British position was a good one though, in truth, they only averted defeat through the arrival of Blücher's Prussians - who made an astonishing decision to still come to Wellington's help despite having suffered serious defeats at Ligny two days earlier, and then at Gilly and Charleroi before that. ![]() Had they done so, Bonaparte's left wing would have reached Brussels while Wellington's army was still scattered across the countryside. Indeed, they were only there at all because one of their commanders ignored Wellington's order to abandon the position. These make it clear that Wellington's position at Quatre Bras was only saved by the tenacity of the Dutch-Belgians, long before the British units arrived there. Field's books on the campaign rely entirely on original sources often previously unpublished in Britain. The two things that struck me from my own research was that the battle was very much NOT an entirely British victory. ![]() Smith by Sam B. Miller II5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() To that end, a single man in the desert was killed. What really happened soon becomes clear: DrrTrr Zennk, bored and hungry, wanted to catch a human to stock up his larder with fresh meat for the return journey to his home planet Chrysalis, 30 light years away from Earth. Many are convinced that a UFO had crashed in the desert and that the whole affair subsequently had been covered up. We have heard the tale of the mysterious objects believed to be seen in Roswell, New Mexico in the year 1947. In the prologue, we find ourselves aboard scout ship UurBereck with Chrysallaman officer DrrTrr Zennk and his 12-year-old son WrrNrr Zennk, scanning Planet HG-281 ( Planet Earth) to determine whether the expanding race of the Chrysallaman will be able to settle there, to form a colonisation. Two spaceships appear before the reader: the Chrysallaman Scout Saucer, a small assault and reconnaissance ship and the Chrysallaman Mother Ship, a “ heavily armoured arsenal”. ![]() is an exciting science fiction novel, involving the alien race the Chrysallaman and their fight to conquer Planet HG-281 – Earth Introduction ![]() Poo Bum by Stéphanie Blake5/31/2023 ![]() Seven-year-old considered it hilarious and 2-year-old laughed because everyone else did. “I believe that entertainment is an overrated function of art and we should be challenged by what we view and read.” - Simon Pegg.
