After serving two tours as a Green Beret medic in Vietnam, he went into the American wilderness to confront his demons. Naturalist and author Doug Peacock joined our lawsuit. “This is a tremendous victory for those who care about Yellowstone and its grizzly bears,” says Earthjustice attorney Tim Preso, who argued the case. On July 8, 2020, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld these protections, stopping plans for trophy hunts in Wyoming and Idaho. Yet the Trump administration has persistently tried to gut protections for this endangered species. Yellowstone’s iconic grizzly bears are at risk of extinction.

An evolution of the classic 3-act structure, Snyder codified his 15-beat outline to better manage the second act, which screenwriters often struggle with. The beat sheet details, one by one, every beat that makes up the STC structure, outlining where and in what order each event should occur. Let’s get into how the Save the Cat beat sheet (from now on STC) is used to build stories that win over readers of all ages and literary tastes. This beat sheet has since been adapted for novelists, and the Save the Cat beat sheet has become a tried and tested tool used by storytellers across different media. Written by screenwriter Blake Snyder, the book is perhaps best known for its beat sheet: an ordered list of moments that are common to most stories. It takes its name from a moment commonly found in stories where the protagonist does something heroic - like saving a cat - to endear them to the audience. Click to tweet! What is the Save the Cat Beat Sheet?įamous for more than just its quirky name, Save the Cat has come to be a well-regarded story manual for writers across media. 6/24/2023 0 Comments Love inc by yvonne collinsHe’s used to apologising for being late.Ī girl steps out from behind Fletcher and repeats, ‘Disculpe el retraso.’ She’s all sharp edges, but somehow still pretty. ‘Disculpe el retraso, Señora.’ The words slip easily off Fletcher’s tongue. ‘Fletcher,’ she says, ‘aquí, se habla español.’ Some girls must be, because I can hear giggles behind me. I suppose he’s good-looking, if you’re into big guys with small heads. Even without the football jersey, you’d know he’s a jock from the build and the confident smile. The door opens again and a guy with unruly brown hair blocks the entrance. It smells worse than my old school, too – like perfume mixed with sweat and chalk dust. I expect to hate everything here, from the teachers to the cafeteria fries. I’d respect her more if she’d learnt the hard way, like us, or taught German. I can tell by the way she rolls her R’s that she learnt Spanish at home as a kid. Time to get to work.’ She crosses the room on her toes, like a ballroom dancer, and repeats her point in Spanish. At precisely three minutes past nine she closes the door with a firm click. Señora Mendoza keeps a hand on the doorknob and her eyes on the clock.

But this year is the first time novels with characters in the LGBTQ community are the main romantic pairing. True, two years ago Roni Loren’s menage Melt Into You contained one male/male scene amidst its male/female/male menagey goodness. Heidi Cullinan’s long contemporary Fever Pitch, Amy Lane’s short historical The Bells of Times Square, and Lynda Aicher’s erotic romance Bonds of Denial, all made the cut this year. And every year, the board encourages all members to submit, because if you don’t enter, an LGBTQ romance will never be nominated. Some RRW members joke that it’s like buying a lottery ticket to be part of history. I’ve watched the flurry of RRW discussions each year over whether it’s worth entering the RITAs. In addition to being a Southern Magic member, I am also a member of the Rainbow Romance Writers (RRW), the LGBTQ chapter of RWA. (In case you’re wondering, LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer.) This is a true milestone for LGBTQ romance. This year, the RWA RITA Award nominees include three gay romances. 6/22/2023 0 Comments Iliad and the odyssey bookHerodotus estimates that Homer lived 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BCE, while other ancient sources claim that he lived much nearer to the supposed time of the Trojan War, in the early 12th century BCE. These epics lie at the beginning of the Western canon of literature, and have had an enormous influence on the history of literature. The formative influence of the Homeric epics in shaping Greek culture was widely recognized, and Homer was des In the Western classical tradition, Homer (Greek: Ὅμηρος) is considered the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets.

As the author notes, deregulation was central to the British plan to convert London into ground zero for “many of the most fast-paced global transactions” that were remaking the world. One driver was the deregulation of financial institutions, which was not confined to the United States. The Deluge: The Great War, America and the Remaking of the Global Order, 1916-1931, 2014, etc.), whose previous book won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, examines the “first crisis of a global age” as it played out in an increasingly interlocked financial world. A long but not oppressive study blending politics, economics, and history. What happens when the walls of Wall Street come crashing down? Donald Trump, for one thing. 6/22/2023 0 Comments Light on snow by anita shreveShreve’s language is always sparse and deceptively simple. Through the eyes of her female narrator we also get to glimpse the bond between a daughter and her grief-absorbed father, and, in turn, the loss felt by a young girl for her dead mother. But she also explores family relationships, the responsibilities we have to one another through thick and thin, the fine line between happiness and despair, and the ties that bind us to people and places. In Light On Snow Anita Shreve focuses on her usual themes of love and loss. When they stumble upon a newborn baby girl left abandoned in the woods little do they realise the maelstrom that is about to follow. As both finally settle into familiar patterns and routines, an unexpected “find” one wintry day impinges on the natural order that they have worked so hard to achieve. Twelve-year-old Nicky Dillon and her father are starting life anew in rural New Hampshire following a family tragedy.
