DOWNLOAD EBOOKAuthors Shannon Hengen and Ashley Thomson have assembled a reference guide that covers all of the works written by the acclaimed Canadian author Margaret Atwood since 1988, including her novels Cat's Eye, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace, and the 2000 Booker Prize winner, The Blind Assassin. Rather than just including Atwood's books, this guide includes all of Atwood's works, including articles, short stories, letters, and individual poetry. Adaptations of Atwood's works are also included, as are some of her more public quotations. Secondary entries (i.e. interviews, scholarly resources, and reviews) are first sorted by type, and then arranged alphabetically by author, to allow greater ease of navigation. The individual chapters are organized chronologically, with each subdivided into seven categories: Atwood's Works, Adaptations, Quotations, Interviews, Scholarly Resources, Reviews of Atwood's Works, and Reviews of Adaptations of Atwood's Works. The book also includes a chapter entitled 'Atwood on the Web,' as well as extensive author and subject indexes. This new bibliography significantly enhances access to Atwood material, a feature that will be welcomed by university, public, and school librarians. Margaret Atwood: A Reference Guide 1988-2005 will appeal not only to Atwood scholars, but to students and fans of one of Canada's greatest writers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlans can be thwarted, and people can be astoundingly manipulative and deceptive. It’s a lesson Tyson should never forget. One he’s learned numerous times by those he should’ve been able to trust. But then someone new crosses his path, and he lets them get past his manifested defenses. Amara's desperation to escape and end her life ripped his heart out. As a result, a fortified shield encased his heart, one that’s nearly impenetrable. Inner turmoil cripples him when he has doubts and suspects that maybe he had been wrong to build it as volatile and unwavering as he had. The free-spirited person he used to be no longer exists. In its place is a hardcore casing that strangles him and refuses to release its grip. A well thought out future, one that has been calibrated down to the smallest detail, can collapse and tumble around you. No one knows that better than Hemmingway. She went into the armed forces with the mindset to better herself and make herself a stronger, formidable woman so that she could try to tweak her fate and weave her fantasy into reality. Make him see her instead of through her. Hemmi’s heartfelt crush, that once seemed so imperative, is now a superficial ambition. Her goals and aspirations have been altered, because the motivation to find love was obliterated by two sinister men, and it no longer fuels her desires. Will their past win, or will they give into the temptation? The draw to each other is hard to deny, but they both have demons that hold them back. They have a rocky road before them. It’ll be jolting, but the longer they’re confined, and on the run, the harder the tug is to resist.

When Lucy trips over the body of a buckskin-clad relics trader, her ex-boss asks her to cover the story. She tries to tell him no, but old habits die hard and soon she finds herself directly in the path of a killer and the exasperating, if attractive, detective in charge. Can Lucy catch a killer or is this the last confrontation for her—period? Cut Loose No one’s perfect. At least that’s what Lucy Mathews tells herself.
