How Not to Fake Marry a BillionaireAuthor: Ashlee MalloryGenre: Contemporary Romance Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes Regular Price:
|
Book Description:People say I’m smart. Probably because I have a PhD in astrophysics and am on the cusp of publishing a theory that just might change our perception of the known universe. The verdict is still out for me. After all, I fell for a colleague who broke my heart and then stole the grant money from the Camella Franklin Foundation that had been funding my research. Did I mention he’s also engaged to Camella Franklin? Then the gorgeous and charming billionaire Colin Fitzgerald came to me with a life-changing proposal. A marriage in name only in return for the grant money needed to fund my research. Marrying a hot billionaire wouldn’t be so bad, right? Except that from the moment I laid eyes on the guy, it felt like the stars had aligned and I had actually met my destiny. He, on the other hand, had been totally in love with my best friend. But, as people say, I’m smart. I wouldn’t do anything so foolish as to fall in love with my fake husband. Like I said…the verdict is still out.

Book Description:Postcards from the Nordics is Mark Will’s most unique literary production to date. Inspired by Mary Wollstonecraft’s Letters Written in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, Will’s book is both a travelogue and an epistolary novel addressed to “random recipients, living and dead, real and fictional, famous and less well-known.” Freely indulging his experimentalist tendencies, the author juxtaposes each of the seventy-four “postcards” which comprise this engaging volume with one of his original photographs. A genre-defying amalgam of text and image, Postcards from the Nordics not only documents an unforgettable journey—it takes the reader on one as well.

They Make MoviesAuthor: George Thomas ClarkGenre: Historical Fiction Regular Price:
|
Book Description:This fast-moving collection blends fiction with history to illuminate the lives and careers of noted actors, actresses, and directors. Talented but tormented Louise Brooks and Anna May Wong open the show, and major stars Marlene Dietrich, Vivien Leigh, and Bette Davis follow, revealing their experiences or yielding to characters who offer creative comments about them. The parade continues with Joan Crawford, a gifted actress who’s difficult on and off the set. Olivia de Havilland becomes a star and then challenges a rigid studio system that locks her into inferior parts and bans her from movies while she fights the moguls in court. Marilyn Monroe is glamorous and gifted but seldom escapes emotional agony. Lupe Velez, The Mexican Spitfire, is similarly doomed. Contemporary actresses Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchette, Halle Berry, and Kate Winslet usually have better creative choices and earn more money than their cinematic predecessors but must also deal with challenging screen roles and, on occasion, outrageous co-stars. Leading men next step before the cameras. Humphrey Bogart battles his violent third wife while finally moving toward screen immortality. Errol Flynn, a compelling but unstable young man not long removed from sailing the seas around Tasmania and New Guinea, rapidly becomes a star and almost as quickly undermines himself with alcohol, narcotics, and bad decisions. Clark Gable marries two much older women, one teaching him to act and the other showing him how to behave in high society, before he combines polish and charisma to start getting what he wants. Laurence Olivier and John Wayne differ stylistically but both dominate the screen and delight moviegoers. Kirk Douglas also proves he’s a star and so does his son Michael, and some creative scenes enliven their stories. Ernest Hemingway arrives, trying to help Burt Lancaster survive his debut in The Killers. In other roles the actor swims through backyard pools on estates in suburban Connecticut and studies birds not at Alcatraz but less scenic Leavenworth. Marlon Brando again fascinates in On the Waterfront, this time making alternative efforts to avoid becoming a bum. The youngest star is Chadwick Boseman, portrayer of Jackie Robinson. Character actors appear next and include Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Claude Rains, Edward G. Robinson, Ernest Borgnine and, more recently, Jesse Eisenberg. The performers above are guided by directors such as John Huston, Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, and Spike Lee. And where do they get their raw material? It emerges from numerous too-little-appreciated screenwriters like Ben Hecht, Budd Schulberg, and Aaron Sorkin as well as directors who write well. Huston, Allen, and Lee are among the finest. And these talents coalesce to form fantasy teams about which we confidently state: They Make Movies. Click here to pick up your copy of They Make Movies in the Amazon Kindle store. |
