The Silence of the Llamas


Book Description

Llama Drama! Ellie and Ben Krueger arrived in Plum Harbor eager to live out their dream—tending a herd of gentle, friendly llamas for fun and profit, on a farm just beyond the village. Their grand opening fiber festival kicks off on a bright note but abruptly ends in malicious mayhem. Knitting shop owner Maggie Messina and her friends soon learn that this is not the first time a vicious visitor has called. The Kruegers suspect that Justin Ridley, their eccentric neighbor, is the troublemaker. A misfit and loner, he’s known to roam the woods all night, though no one knows for sure what he’s hunting. Then there’s Angelica Rossi—the lovely owner of a rival fiber farm—who’s been as busy as a spider, spinning spiteful lies about the Kruegers’ yarns. Or, are the naïve newcomers merely caught in the tangle of Plum Harbor politics, and an intense land protection debate? Suddenly, vandalism turns to murder—and the Kruegers’ dream descends into a nightmare. The Black Sheep knitters must pull the threads together and uncover this crafty menace . . . before more lives—and more llamas— are lost.

Recent American Art Song


Book Description

Recent American Art Song: A Guide is a reference source devoted to songs with English texts by American composers, written for solo voice and piano. The book focuses exclusively on art song since 1980, a substantial period largely ignored by scholars. This is the first study to examine this repertory in detail, and many of the songs and composers are discussed in print for the first time. Keith E. Clifton has examined approximately 1000 songs by nearly 200 composers. Many songs employ musical idioms well beyond traditional classical styles, including references to jazz, musical theater, rap, and rock & roll, and several songs blur the boundaries between recital and stage works. Organized alphabetically by composer, entries contain complete biographical and bibliographical information, with major works and links to print resources and composer websites when available. In addition, Clifton provides detailed information on the vocal range, musical style, and appropriate voice type for individual songs. The book concludes with a full discography and bibliography, as well as indexes listing the works by poet, song cycle, title, voice type, and level of difficulty.

Angels Whisper


Book Description

Angels Whisper - 'Whose life is it, anyway?' - is a book not only focusing on Angels: what angels represent to the writer; what angels do, and the belief in the healing power of angels; but is an invitation to awaken people to the influences we permit others to have on us. Do we take responsibility for our own lives or do we permit others to bully us and control how we live? Research indicates that there is an ever growing culture of bullying in many sectors of contemporary society. As human persons we are invited to be conscious to the help that is available within contemporary society in relation to attaining overall wellbeing. This book has emerged as a sequel to 'Angels Do Come - Just call!' Many stories about Angels and relevant experiences have been freely shared and recorded over many years and as a result of the last publication. Within life and living, everyone at some point needs something to hang on to, the support will vary from person to person but the common denominator is the desire to avail of that which leads to the balance of body, soul and mind. The support of the Angelic realm helps us to believe that God and the Angels desire to guide and protect us as we travel the journey of life and living, irrespective of how it unfolds. Frequently, Angels whisper with an invitation to consider, 'Whose life is it, anyway?' Do we permit others to dictate the pace and direction of one's life and living or do we respond to the nudges which alert us to self healing and wellbeing?




Follow the Silence


Book Description

Jimmy “Boomer” Benjamin has arrived at the place he has dreaded and dreamed of for the past fifteen years: the town he grew up in. Nearing retirement and seeking closure to a novel that has plagued him for decades, Jimmy is determined to break the long-held silence that muted two murders. One was rumoured to have been committed by his father. The other was a part of his own nightmarish past—and resulted in his excommunication from his community. Jimmy’s journey begins and ends at Lighthouse Pier on the bleak and beautiful shores of Lake Erie, where memories, visions, shadows, love, and violence converge and break—for better or worse. Encouraged and directed by his novel, his opus of truth, his testament to fiction, Jimmy gives himself permission to come home.
