Historical Thrillers
Ken Follett's Century Trilogy follows the fortunes of five intertwined families—American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh—as they make their way through the twentieth century. It has been called "potent, engrossing" (Publishers Weekly) and "truly epic" (Huffington Post). USA Today said, "You actually feel like you're there."
EDGE OF ETERNITY, the finale, covers one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the 1960s through the 1980s, encompassing civil rights, assassinations, Vietnam, the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution—and rock and roll.
East German teacher Rebecca Hoffman discovers she's been spied on by the Stasi for years and commits an impulsive act that will affect her family for generations… George Jakes, himself bi-racial, bypasses corporate law to join Robert F. Kennedy's Justice Department and finds himself in the middle of not only the seminal events of the civil rights battle, but also a much more personal battle… Cameron Dewar, the grandson of a senator, jumps at the chance to do some espionage for a cause he believes in, only to discover that the world is much more dangerous than he'd imagined… Dimka Dvorkin, a young aide to Khrushchev, becomes an agent for good and for ill as the Soviet Union and the United States race to the brink of nuclear war, while his twin sister, Tania, carves out a role that will take her from Moscow to Cuba to Prague to Warsaw—and into history.
These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as they add their personal stories and insight to the most defining events of the 20th century. From the opulent offices of the most powerful world leaders to the shabby apartments of those trying to begin a new empire, from the elite clubs of the wealthy and highborn to the passionate protests of a country's most marginalized citizens, this is truly a drama for the ages.
With the Century Trilogy, Follett has guided readers through an entire era of history with a master's touch. His unique ability to tell fascinating, brilliantly researched stories that captivate readers and keep them turning the pages is unparalleled. In this climactic and concluding saga, Follett brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same.

The Middle Ages were full of fascinating and often shocking episodes, and few authors are as talented at bringing readers into this intriguing period of history as Karen Maitland. A veteran thriller writer and a member of the Medieval Murderers, Maitland digs into the political intrigue, sabotage, subterfuge, revolutions, conflicts, and secrets of the medieval era like few others. Her latest book, THE VANISHING WITCH, looks to thrill fans once again with her unique take on this tempestuous period of history.
The author recently sat down with THE BIG THRILL to give readers a glimpse into her upcoming medieval thriller.
Tell us a little about yourself.
I've been writing full-time since 2000, and THE VANISHING WITCH is my fifth medieval thriller to be published. As well as my own historical thrillers, I also write a joint medieval crime novel ever year with five other authors—Philip Gooden, Susanna Gregory, Michael Jecks, Bernard Knight, and Ian Morson. Together we are known as the Medieval Murderers and our tenth book, THE DEADLIEST SIN, is also published this summer.
I've recently moved to the beautiful county of Devon in England, not far from Dartmoor, the wild moor that was the inspiration for the famous Sherlock Holmes case—'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. When the mist comes down, you can almost hear the terrible black hound baying across the moors. I've converted an old blacksmith's workshop in which to write, which still has the old anvil and I've filled it with things that inspire me like an old witch ball, a saxon drill, and stuffed owl.
Tell us about THE VANISHING WITCH.
The book is set in Lincoln, England in 1380/81, during the reign of the boy-king Richard II. It was summer of the Peasants' Revolt when thousands of men and women marched on London and seized the Archbishop of Canterbury who was Chancellor of England. They hacked off his head, starting an orgy of rioting, murder and destruction that swept across England. But Robert, a wealthy wool-merchant in Lincoln has his own problems the rebels want him dead, the sheriff questions his loyalty and when people around him start being murdered, who can he trust—his impetuous son, the dark-haired widow, her bewitching daughter or his superstitious servants?

Ken Kuhlken's short stories, features, essays and columns have appeared in Esquire and dozens of other magazines and anthologies, been honorably mentioned in Best American Short Stories, and earned a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.
His novels have been widely praised and honored by awards such as the Ernest Hemingway Best First Novel, the St. Martin's/Private Eye Writers of America Best First Novel, and the Shamus Best Novel.
His latest Tom Hickey California Crime novel, THE GOOD KNOW NOTHING, is the seventh in a series of Tom Hickey novels and will be released on August 5:
During the summer of 1936, destitute farmers from the Dust Bowl swarm into California, and an old friend brings L.A. police detective Tom Hickey a book manuscript, a clue to the mystery of his father Charlie's long-ago disappearance.
In his relentless effort to find out what became of Charlie, Tom lures the novelist B. Traven to Catalina Island and accuses him of homicide. Traven's tale is that the Sundance Kid, having escaped from his reputed death in Bolivia, killed Charlie.
Tom crosses the desert pursuing the legendary outlaw. What he learns in Tucson sends him up against newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst.
Kuhlken recently answered a few questions for THE BIG THRILL.
Tell us about Tom Hickey? What kind of person is he, and how did you create his character?
Tom is a dreamer with an artistic nature who grows up quite aware of the darkness around him and whose essential motive is to help lighten the darkness. He sets out to become an architect and a musician, but circumstances lead him into police work and later to private investigation.

She's a veteran novelist. He's a professor in Rome. Together, they write as Sam Cabot, whose debut novel BLOOD OF THE LAMB drew comparisons to THE DA VINCI CODE and THE HISTORIAN. The two members of this writing duo, S. J. Rozan and Carlos Dews, sat down with THE BIG THRILL to discuss SKIN OF THE WOLF, the sequel to BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
Tell us a little about yourselves and how you came to be a writing team.
Rozan: We met in Italy, through a writing workshop where we both teach. I was between projects and Carlos had an idea…
Dews: I was living my life as an expat in Rome and had a dream to write a thriller set here. I had too much respect for the thriller genre to try one on my own. Mutual friends introduced me to S. J., and the dream team (at least from my point of view) was born.
Tell us about your new thriller, SKIN OF THE WOLF.
Rozan: SKIN OF THE WOLF picks up after BLOOD OF THE LAMB, though you don't have to have read the first to read this one. Set in the present in New York city, it involves art collectors, a ritual mask, Native Americans, and a murder at Sotheby's. Oh, and vampires and werewolves.
Dews: SKIN OF THE WOLF sees the team we introduced in last year's BLOOD OF THE LAMB (set in Rome) this time in New York where they race against time to prevent the catastrophic misuse of an important Native American mask. Oh, and did I forget to mention that there are vampires and shape-shifters involved?

October, 1901. Lawyer and private-inquiries agent Karl Werthen accepts an assignment to protect the famous Irish writer Bram Stoker while on a speaking tour of Vienna. Meanwhile, his colleague, criminologist Dr. Hanns Gross, has been called away to advise on a bizarre series of murders near his hometown of Graz in the Austrian province of Styria. Three women have been killed with strange mutilations and scarring patterns left on their bodies. The third and most recent victim has had her unborn baby cut from her womb. Back in Vienna, Werthen's wife Berthe is investigating what seems to be a fraudulent breeding scheme involving the prized Lipizzaner horses. Could these investigations possibly be connected?
Matters become complicated with Werthen and Stoker's arrival in Graz. For, having read wild newspaper accounts of vampire killings, the author of DRACULA insists they investigate.
Welcome Mr. Jones, and thanks for stopping by to visit with us.
Call me Syd, please. And it is a pleasure to chat with you.
Tell us a bit about your new historical thriller, A MATTER OF BREEDING.
In my fifth installment of the Viennese Mystery series, A MATTER OF BREEDING, to be published this month, I again use characters and events inspired by history, primary among them Georg Ritter von Schönerer, the German nationalist whose right-wing rhetoric later influenced the young Hitler when he lived in Vienna (yes, I will include Hitler in an installment in due course). Schönerer is the inspiration for Christian von Hobarty, a primary suspect in the gruesome killings of several young women in the Austrian province of Styria, a place once much associated with vampirism. Indeed, the murders are for a time touted in the press as the work of a vampire. Damned handy that Bram Stoker, author of DRACULA, is in Austria on a speaking engagement and wrangles his way into the investigation with my ongoing protagonists, lawyer and private inquiries agent Karl Werthen and real-life father of criminology, Hanns Gross. Another intriguing—for me, at least—historical tip of the hat is to the so-called Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory, accused of killing hundreds of young women at her castle hideaway and bathing in their blood. Von Hobarty is an anagram of the Bathory name; he is, in fact, a distant relation of that infamous clan.

In this seventh book in the acclaimed Ethan Gage adventure series, William Dietrich brings us the further exploits of Napoleonic adventurer Ethan Gage.
THE THREE EMPERORS finds our hero traveling to Venice, the battlefield of Austerlitz, and Prague in search of his wife Astiza and son Harry. The two have been taken prisoner by a secret society seeking the Brazen Head, a medieval machine capable of forecasting the future, and first described in the previous novel, THE BARBED CROWN. Rich with historical detail such as castles, and personalities such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Joachim Murat, the novel combines thrilling adventure with an authentic sense of time and place. Can the Gage family reunite and prevent terrible powers from falling into the wrong hands?
THE BIG THRILL recently checked in with William to learn more about Ethan Gage and what it takes to sustain a popular series over the long haul.
THE THREE EMPERORS is the seventh novel in the Ethan Gage series. Please tell us a little about the character and what the series is about?
Ethan is an American adventurer whose hunts for ancient relics play a role in the career of Napoleon and his wars. In addition to being a protégé of Benjamin Franklin, our hero is an electrician (an exotic occupation at the time), a gambler, trader, and a bit of a womanizer until he meets the woman who will become his wife. Unlike some deadly thriller heroes, Ethan has a wry, self-deprecating sense of humor and an opportunistic instinct for self-preservation. The books are funny, as well as exciting. The series begins in 1798 and follows Napoleon's invasion of Egypt, and then goes chronologically through the period, taking our hero from the frontiers of America to Notre Dame. Using an American with no special rank allows me to give an outsider's view of great events, battles, and historical personalities.
How did the Ethan Gage series get its start?
I'm a fan of dashing swashbuckler stories with a humorous touch, such as George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series about the British Empire or Richard Lester's irreverent movie take on THE THREE MUSKETEERS back in the 1970s. I wanted an American character with a skeptical view of one of my favorite periods of history, the Napoleonic Wars. Ethan has the perspective I had as a journalist—that of perennial outsider. Readers enjoy him because he is imperfect—although always conscious of Franklin's homilies—and determined to (someday) reform. He's likeable because he's so human.

Every fiction author has a debut novel, and while some authors slowly make their way onto the scene, perfecting their craft and slowly gathering acclaim, debut author Gary Kriss looks poised to launch into the limelight with THE ZODIAC DECEPTION. A journalist, professor, history enthusiast, and magician, Kriss's intriguing bio has several similarities to that of that of his equally fascinating protagonist, a con man-spy sent to infiltrate Hitler's inner circle. With THE ZODIAC DECEPTION poised to make a splash this month, Kriss sat down with THE BIG THRILL to give readers a glimpse into his extensive bag of tricks.
Tell us a little about yourself.
Let's see: I was born in Brooklyn but spent the early part of my life in Tennessee, so in many ways I'm still a transplanted Southerner. Growing up in the South, with its great literary tradition, gave me a love for reading and writing. It also sparked my social consciousness, which, in turn, significantly influenced my own creative endeavors. I started writing for newspapers when I was 11 and pursued this, on and off, for most of my life, largely for The New York Times. I also served my time as a college administrator and as a professor. And since the book involves astrology, I'm a Libra with Capricorn Rising.
Tell us about your new thriller, THE ZODIAC DECEPTION.
If pressed for a logline, it would go something like this:
Espionage, romance, religion and the paranormal collide in 1942 Berlin when the Allies send an American con man, trained by Houdini, to pull off the greatest scam in history: pose as an astrologer, gain the confidence of SS chief Heinrich Himmler by playing on his fascination with the occult, and then persuade him to kill Adolf Hitler.

A former media maven, MJ Rose left the advertising arena to write fiction in the late 90s. It wasn't long before she found herself back in the ad business when she realized marketing is a required activity for authors.
Her novels combine multiple genres to create an eclectic collection of breathtaking heroines, mysterious heroes, and a deep understanding of history. She takes the reader on a passionate, dangerous journey through time with a writing style that is riveting. The release of her newest novel, THE COLLECTOR OF DYING BREATHS, comes in a hail of critical acclaim.
I was able to catch up with her for a look at the details about being an author, running a business, and how she created the character of Rene' le Florentine while portraying the magical court of Catherine de Medici.
How much of THE COLLECTOR OF DYING BREATHS is based on historical events?
As with most of my work, there is a lot of fact mixed in with this fictional tale.
My story starts at the real life Officina Profumo–Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, one of the world's oldest pharmacies, which was founded in 1221 in Florence by the Dominican Friars who made herbal remedies and potions. The first "eau de Cologne" has been attributed to the pharmacy's 1500s citrus and bergamot scented water created for Catherine de Medici.
René le Florentin, my main character in the past story, was indeed an apprentice at the monastery and there created scents and creams for the young Catherine de Medici. When the fourteen-year-old Duchessina traveled to France to marry the prince, she took René with her. He and Catherine are credited with bringing perfume to their newly adopted country.
I used René's perfume store in Paris and along with perfume he was credited with inventing creative poisons like the ones in the book, which his queen and her subjects used on their enemies.
I stayed true to Catherine de Medici, her aspirations, issues, and superstitions, family as well as her reliance on the astrologer Cosimo Ruggieri and René le Florentin.

Michael Kurland's latest novel, WHO THINKS EVIL, represents the fifth in his series featuring Sherlock Holmes' famed nemesis, Professor James Moriarty.Moriarty is awaiting trial for murder when Queen Victoria's grandson mysteriously disappears. In exchange for his release and the murder charges (of which he's innocent) being dropped, the so-called "Napoleon of Crime" must track down the missing prince and find out who is behind his disappearance and the brutal murders left in his wake.
I recently checked in with Michael to learn more about how this series came to be and where it is going from here.
WHO THINKS EVIL is told from the point of view of Sherlock Holmes' archenemy James Moriarty. How did this series begin?
This is the fifth novel in the series, along with a bunch of short stories. It began when Bernie Geis, a New York publisher, needed someone to ghostwrite some star's autobiography. My agent recommended me and sent along a sample of my writing, including the portion and outline of THE INFERNAL DEVICE, the first Moriarty book, which I'd been thinking of submitting to the paperback house that had published a bunch of my science fiction novels. Bernie loved that so much that he bought it for vast amounts of money—at least by the standards of someone who'd been writing paperback science fiction—and found someone else to do the ghosting
THE INFERNAL DEVICE was nominated for an Edgar and an American Book Award, which made me think that perhaps science fiction wasn't my field after all.

I'd like to welcome Jess Faraday to ITW's THE BIG THRILL. She's the author of TURNBULL HOUSE, a Victorian era mystery released this month. TURNBULL HOUSE is the second book in the series which began with THE AFFAIR OF THE PORCELAIN DOG. Jess graduated from the University of Arizona and UCLA, andshe works as the mystery editor for Elm Books. In the past, she's worked as a copyeditor, lexicographer, and book translator. She even taught high school Russian. Let's find out what she has to say about her upcoming mystery.
Your series takes place in the late Victorian age. What sparked your interest about 1890s London that made you want to set a story here?
I've always had an affinity for that era. It's hard to explain. It's a fascinating time culturally, scientifically, and politically. It was a time of unprecedented technological development and savage social inequality. Scientific discoveries abounded and philosophy flourished. The detective story was born. A great society surged forward on the backs of multitudes of forgotten laborers—many of them children—who eked out short, difficult lives under the most shocking conditions.It was a time of incredible contrasts—contrasts that must have been reflected both in society and within the individual.
And of course the frock coats =)

Following up on the success of his debut novel, THE MIDWIFE'S TALE, Sam Thomas revisits seventeenth century England with midwife Bridget Hodgson and her brassy servant Martha Hawkins in his second novel, THE HARLOT'S TALE.
It is August 1645, one year since York fell into Puritan hands. As the city suffers through a brutal summer heat, Bridget Hodgson and Martha Hawkins are drawn into a murder investigation more frightening than their last. In order to appease God's wrath—and end the heat-wave—the city's overlords have launched a brutal campaign to whip the city's sinners into godliness. But for someone in York, this is not enough. First a prostitute and her client are found stabbed to death, then a pair of adulterers are beaten and strangled. York's sinners have been targeted for execution. Bridget and Martha—assisted once again by Will, Bridget's good-hearted nephew—race to find the killer even as he adds more bodies to his tally.
You probably get this a lot, but I have to ask; how does a male college professor get so interested in midwifery?
It was the first of many coincidences. I was working on my doctoral thesis—which was about religious toleration in seventeenth century England—when I stumbled across the will left by the midwife upon whom I based my protagonist, Bridget Hodgson. As it happened, at the very moment I found the will, the history of midwifery was being rewritten and I was able to get in on a hot topic.

Lisa Morton's new novel, NETHERWORLD takes readers back to nineteenth-century Victorian England, where a young widow finds that she has inherited more than her late husband's property: The Furnavals serve as the ancestral keepers of supernatural portals scattered around the globe. When demonic entities begin crossing over from the Netherworld, Lady Diana realizes that a war is brewing, and she must be the one to confront it.
Morton graciously agreed to answer some questions from THE BIG THRILL:
Your story is rich with details about the fantastic and the gothic, which showed your interest in supernatural fantasy. What is your attraction to the genre?
I've always loved the darker side of fantasy—as a child I was hopelessly obsessed with the Universal monster movies. But as an adult, I think one of the things I most enjoy about writing within the genre is the way it can be used to comment obliquely on contemporary or relevant topics. In NETHERWORLD, for instance, I got to use a trip around the globe in search of demonic forces to comment on the Industrial Revolution, imperialism, and gender roles.

Here's a brief description of Antonio Garrido's new novel THE SCRIBE: The year is 799, and King Charlemagne awaits coronation as the Holy Roman emperor. But in the town of Würzburg, the young, willful Theresa dreams only of following in the footsteps of her scholarly father—a quiet man who taught her the forbidden pleasures of reading and writing. Though it was unthinkable for a medieval woman to pursue a career as a craftsperson, headstrong Theresa convinces the parchment-makers' guild to test her. If she passes, it means access to her beloved manuscripts and nothing less than true independence. But as she treats the skins before an audience of jeering workmen, unimaginable tragedy strikes—tearing apart Theresa's family and setting in motion a cascade of mysteries that Theresa must solve if she hopes to stay alive and save her family.
Mr. Garrido agreed to response a few questions posed to him in Spanish. I trust I kept the spirit of the ideas from his responses, with a bit of luck, nothing got lost in the translation.
How extensive was the research for THE SCRIBE?
Almost as extensive a thesis for a PH.D. You have to consider that in spite of the exciting events told, THE SCRIBE is inspired in real life, which meant that all the data was thoroughly crosschecked. The research lasted four years and took me to various museums and libraries in places like Germany, France, United Kingdom, and Italy.

In Judith Rock's latest book, THE WHISPERING OF BONES, the last thing Jesuit Charles du Luc and his elderly confessor expect to find on an autumn day in 1687 when they go to pray in an ancient church crypt outside Paris is a murdered man—a very young man who was about to enter their order. Then another Jesuit disappears from the school Louis le Grand, where Charles teaches. And Charles discovers that a forged document from Poland, source of the dark myth gathering around the Society of Jesus, is circulating illegally in Paris. In the midst of this, the soldier who once saved Charles's life enters the Jesuit Novice House, bringing Charles's most shameful battlefield secret back to haunt him. As he tries to untangle this web, he sees that his efforts may well destroy his Jesuit future.
I must confess I fell in love with this book from the moment I first read it. I had the privilege to pose some questions to the author.
What can you tell us about Charles Du Luc, and his development for the fourth book in the series?
Charles was wounded in the battle of St. Omer in 1677. While recovering, he read about the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, and decided to become a Jesuit. He's now twenty-nine and nearing the end of the long Jesuit training. After a lot of questioning and risking of his vocation, he knows that he wants to be ordained a priest—even though obedience has always been hard for him, and still is. As he faces the terrible secret from his army past, and is overtaken by the consequences of finding the body at the beginning of this book, he discovers that freedom is the unexpected other side of humility.
Tasha Alexander is the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of the Lady Emily series and the novel ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE. She attended the University of Notre Dame, where she studied English and Medieval History. Her work has been nominated for numerous awards and has been translated into more than a dozen languages. She and her husband, novelist Andrew Grant, divide their time between Chicago and the UK.
The victim makes a grand entrance at a social gathering and falls dead in the opening pages. You get the reader's attention quickly don't you?
The opening of this book came to me long before I had settled on the overall story. From there, I had to start asking questions about the gentleman in question to figure out what had happened to him…
As the 8th book in the Lady Emily series does it seem the give-and-take between Lady Emily and her mother over a grim topic—such as murder–is something readers have come to anticipate?
Emily and her mother have, at best, a sometimes-peaceful standoff. Their views on most things—women's suffrage, education, appropriate social behavior, and child-rearing—clash, but there is a great deal of humor in their exchanges, and readers are kind enough to tell me they enjoy them. Lady Bromley, however, might not find them quite so amusing.

History and Mystery: THE CITY OF STRANGERS
Dublin and New York 1939
Raymond Chandler said that one of the characteristics of crime fiction (for want of a better name) is the unnatural squeezing up of timeframes. The same thing applies to history when it is dragged, willingly or otherwise, into the world of crime writing. But why squeeze all that up at all? The answer to why any of us write anything is always that we all write what we love writing. We take what interests us and intrigues us and we try to turn that into a story. But that doesn't mean there isn't usually a bit more to it as well.
We probably spend too much time putting fiction into genres and sub-genres these days, but the historical crime novel is clearly a genre of some kind, combining as it does two resiliently popular areas of fiction: history and mystery. But it has an odd quality that a contemporary setting doesn't demand. You can't play fast and loose with the past the way you can with the present. Readers expect their history to be historical! Especially if your detective is going to stumble into real events and real people along the way.
When I started the first of a series of crime novels set in Ireland in the 30s and 40s, THE CITY OF SHADOWS, part of the pleasure and part of the purpose was to explore that time, in particular the way the Second World War touched Ireland, and over the series to 'visit' a number of cities that were sometimes at the heart of that war and sometimes at its compromised periphery: Dublin, Danzig, New York, Lisbon, Paris, Berlin, London, Rome.

Are you ready? The wait for the fourth novel in Raymond Khoury's international bestselling series featuring FBI Agent Sean Reilly is finally over. RASPUTIN'S SHADOW goes on sale in October.
RASPUTIN'S SHADOW opens on a cold, bleak day in 1916. A mining pit in Siberia turns into a bloodbath when its miners attack each other, savagely and ferociously. Minutes later, two men—a horrified scientist and Grigory Rasputin, trusted confidant of the tsar—hit a detonator, blowing up the mine to conceal all evidence of the carnage.
In the present day, FBI agent Sean Reilly is tasked with a new, disturbing case. A Russian embassy attaché seems to have committed suicide by jumping out of a fourth-floor window in Queens. The apartment's owners, a retired high school teacher and his wife, have gone missing, while a faceless killer is roaming New York City, leaving a trail of death in his wake.
Joined by Russian FSB agent Larisa Tchoumitcheva, Reilly's investigation into the old man's identity will uncover a deadly, desperate search for a mysterious device whose origins reach back in time to the darkest days of the Cold War and to Imperial Russia and which, in the wrong hands, could have a devastating impact on the modern world.
Raymond Khoury was born in Beirut. He is a Scorpio, the youngest of three, and he was fourteen when civil war broke out in Lebanon and his parents moved the family to Rye, NY. He stayed there until he graduated from high school, and then moved back to Lebanon to study architecture at the American University of Beirut. Surviving repeated flare-ups of fighting and a couple of invasions, shortly after his college graduation, Khoury was again relocated—this time by the Marine Corp's 22nd Amphibious Unit. He ended up in London. Bouncing around in his career, he eventually turned to his creative side. He wrote a screenplay that shortlisted him for the Fulbright Fellowship in Screenwriting award, and then a second script that was nominated for the same award a year later. Now after working as a screenwriter and a producer on shows like the BBC series SPOOKS, he is solely focused on his novels. I recently had the great fortune of asking him a few questions.

A freelance writer and book author since the early 1970s, J. Sydney Jones routinely cranks out a half-million or more words per year. While his writing career may seem prolific today, Jones didn't seem destined for a career as a scribe. According to Jones, "Unlike most writers–or what most writers say is the case–I did not enjoy reading at all as a kid. There was not a lot of reading for pleasure in my family."
Jones credits his four-plus-decade passion for words to Mrs. Ringnalda, a college English instructor who introduced him to Steinbeck and the importance of writing well, combined with a junior-year-abroad college program that landed him Vienna, Austria. "That gave me a break from expectations imposed by others as well as myself," said Jones. "I had the luxury of time to dream, to explore new things. That year turned me into a writer."
His love for Vienna and history gave him the rich settings for his Viennese Mystery series. But for his latest installment, RUIN VALUE, Jones takes readers to 1945 post-war Nuremberg, Germany—the antithesis of everything Vienna represented. According to Jones, "The scene in 1945 was impressive if not horrific: the inner city totally devastated by Allied bombing. This was Hitler's symbolic German city, home to the vast Nazi rallies of the pre-war years. It was also home to the War Crimes Trials that held the top Nazis accountable for crimes against humanity."

Tracey Devlyn doesn't believe in the muse.
"I believe in me," she says. "When the creative side of my brain is being stubborn and the words aren't flowing, I get up, walk around, and sit back down and write—even if I only write three hard-earned words. Then I repeat until I have a sentence, a paragraph, a chapter, a manuscript."
Her latest manuscript is A LADY'S SECRET WEAPON, which can be drilled down to this intriguing tweet-worthy synopsis: A boudoir spy joins forces with a notorious underworld informant to determine why boys are disappearing at one of London's orphanages.
It's the third novel in her series of historical romantic thrillers, a genre that provides her – and her lucky readers – the ultimate in escapism.
"Our modern world has become so complicated, immediate, and violent. It's nice to spend some time in a period where the pace is a little slower and chivalry still exists," she says.
That doesn't mean it's less exciting. Quite the contrary. As a historical writer, Devlyn walks the fine line between fact and fiction, a delicate balance of historic truths and modern suspense. Going back in time may seem daunting, but for Devlyn, it's no more overwhelming than the research that goes into many thriller novels set in modern times.

Karen Harper was recently able to catch up with busy Laura Joh Rowland whose career she has long admired. It takes talent to continue a mystery series for 17 novels, and the novels have grown in popularity with each one. Advice from such a successful writer is like gold. Thanks to Laura for a great interview.
Please give us a short summary of your latest release, THE SHOGUN'S DAUGHTER.
Japan 1704. The shogun's daughter Tsuruhime dies of smallpox. Her death has immediate, serious consequences. Faced with his own mortality and beset by troubles caused by the recent earthquake, the shogun names as his heir Yoshisato, the seventeen-year-old son he only recently discovered is his. Yoshisato was raised as the illegitimate son of Yanagisawa, the shogun's favorite advisor. Yanagisawa is also the longtime enemy of Sano Ichiro (the samurai detective hero in my series). Sano doubts that Yoshisato is really the shogun's son, believing it's a fraud and power-play devised by Yanagisawa. When Sano learns that Tsuruhime's death may have been murder, he sets off on a dangerous investigation that leads to more death and destruction as he struggles to keep his pregnant wife Reiko and his children safe. While seeking the killer, he and his family become the accused. And this time, they may not survive the day.
Sano Ichiro is a samurai detective. Readers might expect a detective hero, but what do his samurai talents add to his character and this story?
Sano is pretty handy with a sword. Thrilling battle scenes are a staple of my series, and he's been known to lop off a villain's head once in a while. His wife Reiko is no slouch, either. That's a little different from contemporary American crime fiction, in which guns and fists are the usual weapons.

Laurie R. King began penning stories in 1987 when her youngest child entered school. By 1993, her first novel was published and she was well on her way to being a fulltime author. The award-winning, bestselling author has averaged a novel a year, making THE BONES OF PARIS her 23rd novel.
As a third generation Northern Californian who has lived most of her life in the San Francisco Bay area, her background includes degrees in theology, managing a coffee store, raising children, vegetables, and even the occasional building.
King's writing reflects her background—it is no accident that characters in her books spend time in the Bay Area and England (King's other home) and are interested in theology, architecture, and travel (Her long autobiography goes into this relationship in detail.)
With six stand-alone novels, fourteen novels in the Mary Russell series, five novels in the Kate Martinelli series, and two novels in the Stuyvesant & Grey series, King has become well known in the mystery genre. THE BONES OF PARIS is the latest in the Stuyvesant & Grey series.
Private investigator Harris Stuyvesant is living the dream. His latest assignment is based in Paris, France during the year 1929, and he's paid to troll the cafés of Montparnasse, seeking out beautiful young women. He's an American agent with a healthy appetite for la vie Bohéme, despite years at the US Bureau of Investigation.

Will Anderson and Elizabeth Hume get caught up in the political turmoil over women's suffrage in DETROIT SHUFFLE, the fourth book in D. E. Johnson's critically acclaimed 1910s Detroit series
Will Anderson inadvertently breaks up a key suffrage rally when he thwarts a gunman set on killing his lover, Elizabeth Hume. No one else saw the man, and Elizabeth believes he hallucinated the entire incident, a side effect of the radium "treatment" he received at Eloise Hospital. She asks him to sit on the sidelines while she and her companions try to get the women's suffrage amendment passed by Michigan voters.
Instead, Will sets out to protect Elizabeth and prove his sanity. Will's nemesis, Sapphira Xanakis, contacts him with news of a conspiracy to defeat the amendment, led by Andrew Murphy, head of the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association. Against his better judgment, Will believes she is trying to help. The man she directs him to dies under suspicious circumstances. An old acquaintance of Will's, who is working for the MLBA, is shot and killed in front of him. Still, no one believes Will, including his former ally, Detective Riordan, who not only is unwilling to help, but seems to have secrets of his own.
With new death threats against Elizabeth and the next rally only a few days away, Will has to unravel a complicated tapestry of blackmail, double-dealing, conspiracy, and murder—before the killer has his next chance to strike. Johnson's immaculate plotting and high-tension writing make for a spellbinding read set in early twentieth-century Detroit.

Writing under the pseudonym Sam Cabot, award-winning author S.J. Rozan and Professor Carlos Dews introduce BLOOD OF THE LAMB, the first book in their Novel of Secrets historical thriller series.
In Rome, American Jesuit priest Thomas Kelly searches for an ancient document stolen from the Vatican. An enigmatic letter leads him to the work of a 19th Century poet, where Thomas discovers cryptic messages that might lead to the missing manuscript. His search unexpectedly entwines with that of Italian art historian Livia Pietro, who tells him destructive forces threaten to expose the document's secrets. Mysterious men who would cross any line to obtain the document relentlessly chase Livia and Thomas through Rome. They surmise that the pages hold a devastating, long-buried truth. Livia, though, has a secret of her own: she and her People are vampires, called the Noantri. But all this pales in light of the Secret that Thomas and Livia discover together—a revelation more stunning than either could have imagined.
The authors added, "The novel is ultimately about faith and community. But it's also about vampires and the Catholic Church. Because one of the main characters is a Jesuit priest and two are Noantri (vampires), readers might have come to them with preconceived ideas. Our job was to divest them of this baggage and make each of them a fully human individual."

In her historical thriller, THE RIDDLE OF SOLOMON, D.J. Niko spins a story so exciting that Mary Anna Evans, award-winning author of ARTIFACTS AND WOUNDED EARTH says, "Like a sandstorm roaring out of the Judean Desert, THE RIDDLE OF SOLOMON rips readers out of the familiar world, dropping them breathless in a place where ancient kings still keep their secrets. D. J. Niko's storytelling carries the grit of desert dust and the seductive scent of incense on every page as Sarah Weston races with a madman to save the treasures that King Solomon left behind."
Archaeologist Sarah Weston and anthropologist Daniel Madigan are working on the Qaryat al-Fau archaeological site in Saudi Arabia when they uncover a mysterious ancient scroll written in the form of a riddle. Sarah and Daniel follow a trail of clues leading to India, Jerusalem, and the Judean wilderness, where they discover the truth about the scroll: it was written by King Solomon as a map to an ancient manuscript containing an astounding revelation.
Journeying through the worlds of the occult, corporate greed, geopolitical conflict, Judaic mysticism, and biblical archeology, Sarah and Daniel race against time and a formidable enemy to uncover the powerful ancient message that could have an explosive impact on modern Israel. But is the world ready for the revelation it contains?

I caught up with MJ Rose (which is a challenge since MJ is one of the busiest Thriller Writers around!) for an interview to give us a quick peek into her next book, SEDUCTION. MJ writes amazing novels which are difficult to link to any one genre, and she's one of the savviest promoters on the planet. Look for her at ThrillerFest in NYC in July.
What is your book about?
In 1843, novelist Victor Hugo's beloved nineteen-year-old daughter drowned. Ten years later, still grieving, Hugo initiated hundreds of séances from his home on the Isle of Jersey in order to reestablish contact with her. In the process, he claimed to have communed with Plato, Galileo, Shakespeare, Dante, Jesus—and even the Devil himself. Hugo's transcriptions of these conversations have all been published.
Or so it has been believed…
Recovering from a great loss, mythologist Jac L'Etoile thinks that throwing herself into work will distract her from her grief. In the hopes of uncovering a secret about the island's mysterious Celtic roots, she arrives on the Isle of Jersey and is greeted by ghostly Neolithic monuments, medieval castles, and hidden caves.
What she doesn't anticipate is that the mystery surrounding Victor Hugo will threaten her sanity and put her very life at stake.
SEDUCTION has a ghost story at its heart, and a mystery that spans centuries.

Some small crimes have big, big consequences.
When the Vienna police in 1901 seem indifferent to the murder of a young prostitute, Mitzi, her madam, the legendary Josephine Mutzenbacher, turns to lawyer and trouble-shooter Karl Werthen, who finds plenty of trouble. Mitzi has a secret past, and impressive roster of clients, leading Werthen to navigate a dangerous maze of high society and espionage.
That's the setup for THE KEEPER OF HANDS by J. Sydney Jones, an author who's used Vienna for a number of novels including THE EMPTY MIRROR and THE SILENCE. He truly knows the place, having lived there on-and-off for decades in between working as a freelance writer in Paris, Florence, Donegal and Molyvos.
"Jones's masterful fourth mystery set in early-20th-century Vienna …[offers] top-notch detecting and characterizations [that] bolster the intricate plot." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY starred review of THE KEEPER OF HANDS

Cotton Malone and his fifteen-year-old son, Gary, are headed to Europe. As a favor to his old boss at the Justice Department, Malone agrees to escort a teenage fugitive back to England. After a gunpoint greeting in London in which both the fugitive and Gary disappear, Malone learns that he's stumbled into a high-stakes diplomatic showdown-an international incident fueled by geopolitical gamesmanship and shocking Tudor secrets.
At its heart is the Libyan terrorist convicted of bombing Pan Am Flight 103, who is set to be released by Scottish authorities for 'humanitarian reasons.' An outraged American government wants that stopped, but nothing can persuade the British to intervene.
Except, perhaps, Operation King's Deception.
Run by the CIA, the operation aims to solve a centuries-old mystery, one that could rock Great Britain to its royal foundations.
CIA Operative Blake Antrim, in charge of King's Deception, is hunting for the spark that could rekindle a most dangerous fire: the one thing that every Irish national has sought for centuries-a legal reason why the English must leave Northern Ireland. The answer is a long-buried secret that calls into question the legitimacy of the entire 45 year reign of Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch, who completed the conquest of Ireland and seized much of its land. But Antrim also has a more personal agenda, a twisted game of revenge in which Gary is a pawn. With assassins, traitors, spies, and dangerous disciples of a secret society closing in, Malone is caught in a lethal bind. To save Gary he must play one treacherous player against another-and only by uncovering the incredible truth can he hope to stop the shattering consequences of the King's Deception.

Buenos Aires 1945: It is the most dramatic and tumultuous period in Argentine history. Colonel Juan Perón, who had been the most powerful and the most hated man in the country, has been forced out of power. Many people fear that his mistress, radio actress Evita Duarte, will use her skill at swaying the masses to restore him to office.
When an obscure young woman is brutally murdered, police detective Roberto Leary concludes that the murderer mistook the girl for Evita, the intended target of someone out to eliminate the popular star from the political scene. The search for the killer soon involves the girl's employer, who is Evita's dressmaker, her journalist lover, and Pilar, a seamstress in the dress shop and a tango dancer.
The suspects include a leftist union leader who considers Perón a fascist and a young Lieutenant who feels Perón has dishonored the Army. Their stories collide in a book described by author Carolyn Hart as "A compelling mystery and a passionate and empathetic portrayal of the endlessly fascinating Evita Perón."

Two hundred years of war. An overwhelming, vast army, wielded by a ruthless despot, bent on the slaughter of all Christians remaining in the Holy Land. And only a few citizens remaining to defend Acre, the one city left standing against the hordes.
Baldwin de Furnshill expected the threats of battle and danger, but he little knew that the battle for Acre would also become his journey from boyhood to man.
This is the premise for TEMPLAR'S ACRE– the newest release from the "Master of Medieval Mystery," Michael Jecks.
Jecks is a British author who is no stranger to the world of thrillers. A countryman at heart, he was born near London, but family holidays in Devon made him realize that in the country was a maze of mystery and ages of history waiting to be unravelled.
He initially embarked on the journey to author of medieval mystery after working thirteen years in computer sales. But, all that changed while on honeymoon in 1993 when he was fortunate to visit Fursdon House, which is still, seven hundred years later, held by the same family. He immediately began plotting his first novel, a medieval murder mystery set during the destruction of the Templars – a terrible, but exciting time in English history.

php client library for windows 7
Hello everybody. i'm new with couchbase and try to test it on the local pc.
And the quetion is
where can i find php client library for windows 7?
thanks beforehand.
help! please!
Same problem here. I gave up trying to compile it on windows after running it through Mingw. Finally, I just setup a VirtualBox in Windows, put in CentOS 6, nginx, php-fpm and eventually php-couchbase sdk. My Couchbase runs on Windows. Some pointers:
1) When installing Couchbase on windows, the server binds on some weird IP address. Need to change that.
2) In order for php running in the VirtualBox to access Couchbase, it must treat it like a remote server. Since my laptop changes its IP address when I move around, I resort to use machine name - like 'machinename:8091'.

Students should dress respectfully, in a manner that suits a professional college student. Clothing should provide full coverage. Hats or any type of head covering may not be worn in any building or office. Exceptions will be made for documented religious or medical reasons.
Student Responsibility
Upon acceptance and registration, all students become voluntary members of the academic community at Monroe. Initial and continued participation in this community is dependent upon the students' under-standing not only of their rights and privileges, but of their responsibilities as well. Therefore, it is understood that all students accept the obligations of this relationship as outlined in the "Code of Conduct."
Code of Conduct
Student rights, basic to the freedom to learn, carry with them the responsibility for conduct based on mutual respect, which is compatible with the functioning of the college as a community. Enrollment at Monroe College, therefore, assumes an agreement by each student to obey the rules and regulations of the college, as well as the laws of the State of New York and the United States. Violations of these rules, regulations, and laws are subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion. Such violations include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Falsification of information to the college through forgery, alteration, or intentional misuse of college documents, records or identification;
2. Theft of, or damage to, property;
3. Failure to comply with directions, of college employees, acting in the performance of their duties;
4. Failure to show proper I.D. to requesting college employees, acting in the performance of their duties;
5. Gambling in any form;
6. Attendance in any class, or college-sponsored function, under the influence of alcoholic beverages, or narcotics and illegal drugs, or the unauthorized possession and/or sale of alcoholic beverages, narcotics or illegal drugs on the college campus;
7. Students may use classrooms for meetings only with the prior consent of the administration;
8. Students shall obey all instructions of faculty and administrative personnel, even if they may disagree with them;
9. Disruptive conduct in or near classrooms that prevents instructors from performing their functions;
10. Students shall comply with the usual standards of academic conduct; cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated;
11. Infringement upon the rights of other members of the college community by physical or verbal assault or abuse;
12. Abuse of library and/or Learning Center privileges and procedures;
13. Smoking is not permitted in any college facility;
14. Any act that interferes with normal operation of the college, or which adversely affects the student's suit ability as a member of the college community;
15. Visitors and guests are not permitted without permission;
16. Students, who request permission to invite a guest on campus, will be held responsible and liable for any disturbances and/or inappropriate behavior of said guest.
Disciplinary Procedures
Any student in violation of any aspect of the Code of Conduct is subject to any or all of the following penalties depending on the seriousness of the offense:
1. Warning
2. Probation
3. Suspension
4. Expulsion
Appeals Process
If you are subject to suspension or expulsion, you may appeal that action by requesting in writing a hearing within ten days.
Send your request for an appeal to Dean of Graduate Program.
A committee that will include administrators, faculty, and counselors will be convened to hear your appeal in person. The committee will advise you of its decision within five days of the hearing. The determination of the disciplinary committee shall be final. Any penalty imposed shall be noted on all of your appropriate student records.
Problem Resolution
As Monroe College prides itself on the respectful atmosphere it provides for its students, all students at Monroe should expect to be treated with respect, courtesy, and fairness. However, there are times that matters will arise about which reasonable people may disagree. If such a disagreement occurs, students may avail them-selves of the following procedure. Students should raise their concerns within ten calendar days of the event, which gave rise to the concern.
Problem Resolution for Classroom and Academic Matters
Students with concerns, which are related to classroom matters, should first address them with the faculty member involved. Monroe believes that open communication between faculty and student is the best approach. However, if the matter is not resolved or the student prefers not to address the faculty member, the student should discuss the matter with the KGS Office. If the matter is not successfully resolved, the student may ask that the matter be addressed by the Vice President for Academics or other appropriate administrator.
Problem Resolution for Nonacademic Matters
Students with concerns that are not academically related should first address them with the KGS Office. That office will act as a mediator with other departments in the college. Should the matter remain unresolved, the student may present the matter in writing to the Vice President, Campus Dean or other appropriate administrator for final resolution.
Charges of Discrimination - Complaint Procedures
A. Informal Resolution
1. A student who alleges that an act of discrimination has been committed shall immediately notify the Vice President for Student Affairs, at (718) 933-6700 or by mail care of:
Monroe College2501 Jerome AvenueBronx, New York 10468
2. A potential student who alleges that his/her rights have been violated shall immediately notify the Vice President for Student Affairs. If possible, the situation will be remedied immediately. If this is not possible, a complaint form will be provided.
3. If it is found that the complainant's allegation is valid and if the correction is within the scope of authority of the Vice President, within ten days after receipt of the complaint, the appropriate administrator will correct the situation.
B. Review of Title IX and Section 504 Vice President's Decision
If the complaint has not been resolved by the Vice President for Student Affairs to the satisfaction of the complainant within ten days, the complainant may enter a formal complaint on the form provided by the college, and file it with the Vice President for Student Affairs who will appoint a review committee which will be composed of administrators.
The review committee will review the case and, if necessary, conduct an investigation. A decision will be made and sent to the complainant in writing within 14 days from presentation of the complaint. The action of the review committee is final.
C. Appeal to the Department of Education
Any person who has a complaint that discrimination exists in any program funded by the Department of Education and who has exhausted the college's complaint procedure indicated above may notify the Office for Civil Rights. A complaint should be filed by letter to:
Director, Office for Civil Rights, Department of Education, Washington, DC 20201

Salt Lake City was singled out for making strides to reduce air pollution in this year's version of the American Lung Association's annual "State of the Air" report.
But the report is based on air monitoring data dating back to 2010-2012, and it doesn't account for the record-level pollution spikes of the winter of 2013 — illustrating the difficulty of gauging the success of regulatory fixes for a problem that's seasonal and weather-dependent.
Most-polluted cities

"It's a good guideline to show where we stand compared the rest of the country, but this year we need to temper our excitement. … We know we'll be back up on the [most polluted cities] list next year," said Bryce Bird, director of the Utah Division of Air Quality.
The Salt Lake City, Provo and Orem area is still 8th worst in the nation for its short-term pollution spikes, for which it receives an "F" grade from the Lung Association. That corridor was 6th worst the year prior for its episodes of microscopic soot pollution, or PM2.5.
Two other cities stand out in this year's report — Logan is 11th worst for short-term particulate spikes and St. George is 5th cleanest for year-round particle pollution.
The nation overall showed a reduction in particulate pollution, which the Lung Association credits to diesel fleets and power plants.
But ozone (smog), a respiratory irritant recently found to cause cancer, remains a growing problem that climate change is bound to make worse, the report says.
"We know that warmer temperatures increase risk for ozone pollution, so climate change sets the stage for tougher challenges to protect human health. We must meet these challenges head on to protect the health of millions of Americans living with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease," said Harold Wimmer, the association's national president and CEO, in a press release.
"All of us — everyone in every family — have the right to healthy air," he said.
Utah's ozone problem is not confined to Uintah County, but the region gets an "F" for its unusual winter ozone problem linked to oil and gas development.
The report shows there were nine days of "very unhealthy" ozone pollution in the area, 20 "unhealthy days" and 37 days unhealthy for the young, old and people with heart and lung problems.
Utah lawmakers this year pitched an unprecedented number of clean air bills, but only a third passed and those were not the real "game changers," according to clean air advocates.
Still, Glenn Lanham, executive director of the Lung Association's Utah chapter, believes "anything that gets passed and that increases awareness is a plus."
Nearly one-third of Utah's 2.9 million residents are estimated by the association to be vulnerable to pollution.

HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — The University of Guam's renewable energy department has a new wind turbine.
The Pacific Daily News (http://is.gd/kQL0w5) reports that the wind turbine produces 1 kilowatt-per hour, or enough to power an electric car.
Elvie Tyler with the university's Center for Island Sustainability says the turbine is being used as an educational tool for students who are collecting data and studying renewable energy application on Guam. She also says the study will demonstrate renewable energy's role in the move to reduce dependency on fuel.

At a time like this/when everything looks hopeless/…
…it's time for haiku.
Because we're not tackling the weighty issues of the day, I don't feel like I'm doing a disservice by not taking apart the weekend. If you want the rapid rewind version, it's something like: Bad umpiring… Swarzak melts down… more bad umpiring… Can Pavano pitch every day? … Baker?… Cuddyer!… Look at Delmon go DEEP! … Gardy calls out Harris … Guerrier loses lead on doinks … Twins 5 1/2 games back with 51 games to play.
But, instead, let's try to wrap our feelings into 17 syllables in the traditional 5/7/5 format.
I know things are bad
But if we show discipline
Maybe it will rub off
Hunter Wendelstedt
Second-generation ump
Daddy must be proud
Pavano pitches
Everything's right for a day
Then Baker falls short
Cuddy and Delmon
Go deep and even deeper
Announcers wet pants
Cabrera gets hits
But his range playing shortstop
Creates a trade-off
Guarding the lines late
That's a baseball axiom
Don't need to be told
Kansas City, Cleveland
Are the next two opponents
Six-and-oh seems right
I could do more, but it's your turn…

This is Mr. Wookie!
By the look of him we're guessing maltese mix. He was found roaming around an organic farm down in Southbay. The owners are in no way committed to him and "really don't want him". He's male, not neutered, and in need of vetting and grooming. We're hoping that a rescue could step up for him to cover these costs and we're sure he'd be easily adopted. A FURever home would work as well if someone is looking for an energetic and loyal companion.
If you're interested in opening up your hearts and homes to Mr. Wookie, contact Betsy at 619-977-4418 or email@example.com.

Last Reflections of My Freshman Year
April 30, 2012 by Crystal Lorenzo
I really don't feel like my last post did my freshman year justice so I felt obliged to give you some real heartfelt stuff to show you just what this year meant to me.
I do have to say that nine months ago (in August) I would have never imagined that this year was going to turn out as it has. I have grown so much through EAGLE as a leader and, I like to think, as a better and more self-aware person. EAGLE has taught me so much about finding my passion and making sure that I do things that I wholeheartedly believe in.
Before EAGLE, I had never really thought about my passion or purpose in life. I knew that I was "passionate" about cheerleading, but that was passion in a different sense. I loved to do it, I was good at it, and I always was determined to get better and better. In my eyes, that was passion. However, I now understand passion in a different sense. It's now something bigger than myself, it's a place where I can invest my time, energy and, more importantly, my heart.
Passion is what keeps us going. It's the reason we were put on this earth and the reason we have to keep on going through the good and bad. It's the deepest part of us that drives our actions and decisions and what ultimately will give our life meaning. This idea was first presented to us at the beginning of the year during an EAGLE workshop.
Through the different exercises that Professor Alegre had us do, I came across my passion: helping those struggling with depression, suicide, self-injury, anxiety and all other issues that come along with those. I want to show people who are stuck in the dark that there is hope and that things will get better. I want to do everything I can to prevent suicide and to wipe out the idea of suicide from people's minds, especially the minds of young teenagers. I want people to feel okay to open up and talk about their own struggles and start to work through them and overcome their pain.
My recognition of this is what, I believe, made my year what it was. From then on, I began working to make my dreams happen, as small as my efforts are given the resources I have at this point. I started the To Write Love on Her Arms club and fell in love with the organization and everything that it stands for. I've not only been able to share hope with others but it's been easier for me to remember that hope is real and that although things may not be easy, things will someday be more amazing than I can even imagine now. My attitude toward different things, such as addiction and self-injury, have changed as well and, although I've always considered myself a pretty accepting person, I now feel so much more open and accepting to people coming from all different backgrounds and struggles.
I look back on the past nine months and I can't believe all that I have accomplished and I am, for once, genuinely proud of myself. I've never been in a situation like that, one that Niagara University has presented for me. As I said in my previous blog, at Niagara I am looked at for what I can offer and what I bring to the table. I'm looked at for who I am and not who people think I am (the general trend in small towns). I think the most important thing that I'm trying to get at here is that I was given a fair chance from the beginning at Niagara, which is what I appreciate most. Thank you to everyone who has given me a chance here, who has helped me along the way this year, and has believed in me. It really hasn't gone unnoticed.
Since December, I have officially seen every To Write Love on Her Arms speaker! (: Last night, Denny Kolsch was here and it was AMAZING! I got to go with Gabe to pick him up from his hotel, and then hang out with him for an hour or so before he spoke. His speech was amazing, as per usual with To Write Love, and the compassion that they each have for complete strangers always inspires me.
I got to take him back to his hotel and chat it up then as well. It was so cool because, instead of just seeing his presentation and then saying a few words to him, taking a picture, and that being the end of it, I actually got to spend time with him, which was just AMAZING. If you remember how I felt when I met Jamie Tworkowski, imagine that all FOR LIKE FIVE HOURS! Yeah, it was FABULOUS. I proceeded to then spend way too much on To Write Love on Her Arms merchandise, but, hey, regardless of whether I buy a sweatshirt or use that money towards gas, I'm still going to be a broke college student, so I'm not too worried about it. I'll post the picture of Denny and me from yesterday, and you can just see the pure joy on my face.
I truly do feel as though I've grown so much in this one year, and I'm excited for all the things I have planned for next year. I can't wait for my club to really get going and do events and stuff, and also work with NU Alliance. We weren't able to do much this semester due to some issues getting going after the elections, but we have lots planned for next semester and I can't wait to see it all happen.
I had my last class of freshman year this morning and it just blows my mind to even see that written down. It really did fly by and I can't believe I'm already ¼ done with my college career.
AND I ALMOST FORGOT...This summer I am going to Florida for the To Write Love on Her Arms UChapter Summer Conference on May 31 with my friend, Rochelle! It's a four-day conference with the first two days similar to MOVE that I went to in December and the next two days being focused on leadership training for the UChapters. More excitingly, I am going to do a SURF CLINIC! I figured that I just have to do it before I die; it's one of those bucket list things, so even though I'm afraid of being under water and I'd rather not get eaten by sharks, I'm going to just go for it!
All in all, this year has been awesome and I have no doubt in my mind that Niagara University is where I am supposed to be.
Thank you all so much for reading my blog this year, I hope I've been able to provide some entertainment for you and insight into my crazy life here at NU! Hopefully, I didn't disappoint! (:
