Good Mystery.......2006-10-22
Sprinkle creates a vivid sense of location --.......2004-05-11
It is February in middle Georgia, and the heavy rain never stops. A friend of Mac and her husband is found lying in the rain, hit by a car -- his own, as it turns out, but the car is found parked in a church some distance away, so this was no accident. How could someone else get behind the wheel of his car and run him down?
The incompetent police chief decides it must be a Mexican new to town, and Mac ends up trying to find out who killed her friend -- she's convinced it wasn't the chief suspect, but she fears it may be a family member or someone else close to the victim.
It is only fair to warn readers that Mac is a Christian and the book is sprinkled with her religious views -- not oppressively so, but somewhat surprisingly so, for a book that I would not classify as a "Christian mystery."
This was my first book by this author but I've already ordered another. She is a delightful find.
YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!.......2003-03-04
delightful amateur sleuth cozy.......2003-01-18
Shortly after Maynard and his bride go on their honeymoon, Skell disappears. At the same time, Skell's father Sky, a popular civic-minded town leader is run over by his own car. While the family grieves, the honeymooners are arrested in Orlando for transporting drugs. The police chief and MacLaren feel Skell knows something about this but the magistrate doesn't believe the missing man could have killed his father. She starts her own investigation and almost gets killed by a murderer who has nothing left to lose.
WHO LEFT THAT BODY IN THE RAIN? is an amateur sleuth cozy in which all the violence takes place outside of the pages of the book. There is no blood and gore but there is plenty of thrills and excitement as the sixty-something sleuth uncovers a host of buried secrets and a surplus of suspects. Readers who are fans of Carolyn Hart and Kate Kingsbury will want to buy Patricia Sprinkle's latest and that will lead to desiring the author's previous mysteries.

Great source for adventure hooks and setting detail.......2005-08-02
An in-depth look at the lands surrounding the Blessed Isle.......2003-12-26
The only con is that there are no maps provided (except one for the Scavenger lands in Chapter 5) and you will have to rely on the maps that came with the main Exalted rulebook.
The chapters are:
Ch1: The North.
Descrbes the frozen lands north of the Blessed Isle and its people, customs and cities. Includes details of the Haslanti League (a loose confederation of city-states on the shores of the White Sea), iceships and airboats.
Ch2: The East
Describes the lands to the East of the Blessed Isle, but deals mostly with the areas outside of the Scavenger Lands proper which has its own chapter. There is a detailed section on the Sijan the city of the dead, and sections on the people, customs and creatures of the forest lands.
Ch3: The South.
Describes the cities and inhabitants of Gem, Chiaroscuro, the Varang City-States, Harborhead, and the surrounding lands. Nexus is described in a separate chapter. There are notes on Firedust and weapons (e.g. Firewands) using this unique substance.
Ch4: The West
Details the islands of the West, including Wavecrest, Coral , Skullstone, and the dreaded Lintha pirate family.
Ch5: The Scavenger Lands
Describes the so-called Scavenger Lands and includes a detailed history of the River Province. The cities of Lookshy, Great Forks, Sijan, Greyfalls, and Denandsor are described in some detail. A separate section deals with the unique creatures of Mount Metagalapa (hawkriders,birdmen, and great rocs).
Ch6: Nexus
An in-depth description of the teeming megapolis of Nexus which includes descriptions of the surrounding lands, laws, the council, the guild, and the various districts and neighborhoods. A separate section details the First Age Tombs of the Exalted in Nexus, complete with their deadly traps.
Appendix1: Groups and Organisations
Describes the various power factions in the Threshold including the Guild and the Children of the Wyld in greater detail.
Appendix2: The Fair Folk
A thorough discussion on the Fair Folk. This chapter covers the varieties of Fair Folk and their unique powers (Glamour) done in much greater detail than the sections in the main Exalted rulebook.
Not bad at all..........2001-11-21

Comfort Food Fast: Easy and Elegant Food that Soothes the Soul
Anne Gardon Manufacturer: Firefly Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1552095959 |
Book Description
In Provence, where Anne Gardon grew up, comfort food means hearty dishes, thick, chunky soups and stews and old-fashioned desserts. For most of us, it also means those tastes we crave when we need a little creature comfort, the best-loved dishes of our childhood, the familiar flavors and smells that conjure up warm memories and good times. Gardon is a strong believer that comfort also means not being a slave to the stove while friends are relaxing in the dining room.
In Comfort Food Fast, rather than feature recipes for an unpredictable souffle or a treacherous hollandaise sauce, Gardon includes recipes for one-pot meals which can be served informally at the table, where family and friends can relax and enjoy the comfortable ambience that comes from a simple and tasty meal. Main-course dishes such as Cannelloni With Ricotta and Summer Savory Filling, Pasta Timbale, Roast Chicken With Herb and Cheese Stuffing, Chicken Cacciatore, Pork Tenderloin Stuffed With Apples, Lamb Stew (Moroccan-Style) and desserts like Apple Bread Pudding, Viennese Shortbread, Iced Chocolate Mousse and Chocolate and Raspberry Clafoutis are guaranteed to satisfy our deepest cravings.
Gardon's personal recipe for happiness at the table is what she calls C.H.E.F.s "Cuisine: Cheap, Healthy, Easy and Fun." Her goal here is to teach us how to get the most out of the best ingredients plus how to put some away for a rainy (or snowy) day. She counsels preparing favorite comfort foods in volume and provides advice on portioning and freezing for those times when creating even a simple dinner can pose a challenge. And what could be more comforting at the end of a long, hard day than to know that something delicious and soul-soothing is already prepared, just waiting to be eaten?
Gardon's latest cookbook is illustrated throughout with the author's own sumptuous full-color photographs.

Meredith Monk (PAJ Books: Art + Performance)
Manufacturer: The Johns Hopkins University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0801855403 |
Book Description
"I work in between the cracks, where the voice starts dancing, where the body starts singing, where theater becomes cinema." -- Meredith Monk
Meredith Monk has startled and enthralled audiences since the early 1960s. Her visionary work as composer, playwright, choreographer, filmmaker, singer, and dancer has helped to define the American avant garde and earned numerous honors and awards -- including the culminating honor of a MacArthur fellowship in 1995. In Meredith Monk, Deborah Jowitt brings us an absorbing portrait of an artist whose career spans three decades of American avant-garde performance. Collecting writings by Monk herself, along with significant reviews, essays, interviews, and photographs of Monk's unique performance events, the book establishes her as one of the great treasures of contemporary American culture.
With other radical artists of the 1960s, Monk pioneered the use of multi-media in performance, and she continues to experiment with new technologies and materials to create powerful images in her work. Inspired by cultures where performance is considered a spiritual discipline with healing and transformative power, she has sought to re-establish the unity that underlies music, theater, and dance.
Collected here for the first time, Monk's various writings and the record of her remarkable performances show her to be an artist with a far-ranging and consistent vision. Whether presenting epics like Quarry (1975) and her more recent Atlas (1991), small music theater pieces like The Plateau Series (1978) and Facing North (1990), or solo vocal recitals, Monk remains firmly situated in the bardic tradition. Her forms may be wholly contemporary, but her images, her voices, and her themes resonate with the power of myth and legend.
"Monk's vision is about wholeness and continuity, in art and in life... She makes us aware of the submerged connections between islands of difference." -- from the Introduction
