I would like to write a novel that every, single person loves, but not even J.K. Rowling could do that.

Instead, I try to write stories that pull on people's emotions. I believe that sadness is the most powerful emotion, and swirled with regret the two become a dominating force. I love villains. Three of my favorites are Mother Gothel, Gaston and the Evil Queen who all suffered from a pretty wicked case of vanity (like me). I like to make these personality types the center of my stories.

There is a spoiler for book two at Caleb will have his own book, in it I think he will redeem himself to many of the readers.

Don't forget the sacrifices he made for her. I didn't write a 'perfect' character like Edward Cullen.

I wrote about a flawed human. I think sometimes that is what delivers the whiplash.;). Tarryn, I felt like you punched me in the face last night when I finished The Opportunist.

Now that I think more about Caleb, he really isn't that good of a person. Reading their college years and how he bounced from one girl to another then the cheating to top it off, I really dont know if I even like him.

You have given me a whiplash of emotions and for that, I thank you. This one really made me think. Flag Abuse Flagging a post will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review.

Author by: Laurinda D. Brown Language: en Publisher by: Simon and Schuster Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 98 Total Download: 139 File Size: 50,8 Mb Description: Chris Desmereaux, college graduate and single mother of two, staring down the food stamp line, looking for love, compassion, and stability, is unaware that she has just been awarded her own personal advanced ghetto degree the day Gayle Evans finds her personal ad in the paper -- and answers it.

Gayle Evans, toe-tapping, knee-slapping, make-you-wanna-holla Minister of Music with a divine gift from God. 'Praise the Lord' is her mantra. Macking women is her game. Destroying every life she touches, Gayle brings more misery than harmony. She has a lesson or two to learn after she uses her 'relationship with God' to break up a seemingly happy home. Alternately set in Washington, D.C.

And Memphis, Tennessee, Fire & Brimstone is an 'in your face' tale that explores lesbianism and Black motherhood as both separate and integrated issues impacting the main character's role as a single parent, while opening dialogue on same-sex domestic violence, religious beliefs, bisexuality, negligent fathers, economics, and intra-racial caste systems among African-Americans. Depending on one's beliefs and opinions, Fire & Brimstone leaves no room for 'in-between' emotions, leading the reader to ultimately draw his or her own conclusion as to what the ending actually means: Is homosexuality a sin, or does God love us as we are? The author reminds us that gay women are everywhere, even in the African-American church -- a place where no one expects to find them. Fire & Brimstone does an excellent job of testing the boundaries of 21st century morality.

James Language: en Publisher by: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 70 Total Download: 757 File Size: 46,9 Mb Description: Religious transformation sets the foundation for the powerful book Fire and Brimstone – Reality: To Live or Die: That Is the Question?

This very personal book follows the author’s transformation from atheist to Christian at age 56 through a direct intervention by God. It includes the author’s testimony of these events that brought faith into his life. Fire and Brimstone discusses the grip of fear throughout society, and the manipulation of Satan in all the mayhem and sin taking place around the world. The book shows the biblical evidence of God and of the prophesied chaos, not only now, but in the future. Many are living an existence hurtling toward destruction, but the author’s personal verses point toward a saviour, if only people would be willing to grasp this chance. Otherwise, they truly face the reality of fire and brimstone.

Author by: Thomas Vincent Language: en Publisher by: Soli Deo Gloria Publications Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 96 Total Download: 531 File Size: 40,9 Mb Description: In typical Puritan evangelistic fashion he warns sinners to flee from the wrath to come. To do so, he sets out the theme of 'fire and brimstone' as it has never been done before, showing first the punishment upon wicked Sodom.

He then uses a contemporary illustration in the eruption of Mt. Etna in his own day, and tells harrowing stories of how people were overtaken by that natural disaster.

And then, last, he shows how insignificant those two things will be compared to the coming judgment upon the impenitent. Author by: Michael Punke Language: en Publisher by: Hachette UK Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 17 Total Download: 274 File Size: 48,8 Mb Description: The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Revenant--basis for the award-winning motion picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio--tells the remarkable story of the worst hard-rock mining disaster in American history. The worst hard-rock mining disaster in American history began a half hour before midnight on June 8, 1917, when fire broke out in the North Butte Mining Company's Granite Mountain shaft. Sparked more than two thousand feet below ground, the fire spewed flames, smoke, and poisonous gas through a labyrinth of underground tunnels.

Within an hour, more than four hundred men would be locked in a battle to survive. Within three days, one hundred and sixty-four of them would be dead.

Fire and Brimstone recounts the remarkable stories of both the men below ground and their families above, focusing on two groups of miners who made the incredible decision to entomb themselves to escape the gas. While the disaster is compelling in its own right, Fire and Brimstone also tells a far broader story striking in its contemporary relevance. Butte, Montana, on the eve of the North Butte disaster, was a volatile jumble of antiwar protest, an abusive corporate master, seething labor unrest, divisive ethnic tension, and radicalism both left and right. It was a powder keg lacking only a spark, and the mine fire would ignite strikes, murder, ethnic and political witch hunts, occupation by federal troops, and ultimately a battle over presidential power.
