Believed to be the earliest human ancestor yet discovered, she was dug from the ground by a team led by Tim White, a larger-than-life personality whose energy at excavating and classifying bones is matched only by his fervor for disagreeing disagreeably with other scientists. Ardi - short for Ardipithecus ramidus - is the bony remains of a woman more than 4.4 million years old. ![]()

![]() ![]() Having said that, I like to read a book where it feels as if the characters have their own pasts, so that it doesn’t seem like they have been sitting at home doing nothing until their “big adventure.” So the characters in The Sworn have personal histories and relationships, with the same kind of complexity you’d expect in real life. It’s the beginning of a new adventure, and the threat faced by the characters has nothing to do with the villains in the previous four books. I intentionally wrote The Sworn (and its sequel, The Dread, coming in 2012), to be a starting point for new readers, people who hadn’t read any of my previous books. Is The Sworn related to your other books? Can someone pick up this book and start here? So The Sworn marks a new beginning for you? With The Fallen Kings Cycle books, the world of the Winter Kingdoms jumps to Orbit. The Sworn is my debut with Orbit, but since 2007, I’ve written The Chronicles of the Necromancer for Solaris Books (T he Summoner, The Blood King, Dark Haven, Dark Lady’s Chosen). The Sworn is your first book with Orbit, but it’s not your first fantasy epic, isn’t that right? ![]() ![]() ![]() There are four characters who live in a maze.All four characters live in a “maze” and look for “cheese” to nourish them and make them happy. It is a story of four characters: two mice and two “little people”.The book is a simple allegory that reveals profound truths. ![]() Spencer Johnson has said “It is not what is in the story of Who Moved My Cheese? But how you interpret it and apply it to your own situation that gives it value!!” Note: There are many critics of the book that do not understand the value of such a “simple story”.Readers have reported that what they discovered in the story has improved their careers, businesses, health and marriages!.Who Moved My Cheese? is an extremely popular book about change and adapting to change!.Who Moved My Cheese? Hannah Marie Priest ELEM 6550: Summer Session I East Carolina University ![]() ![]() A few minutes later, when we pulled up to the hotel I was staying in, Laymon smilingly pointed out the black wedding party making use of the Gertrude C. Then, eyebrows raised knowingly, he told me about the presence of a Confederate monument right in the town square. ![]() “When black folks come to town, I just want to make sure they know where they’re coming,” he said. Driving past fields of juvenile cotton plants as we drew closer to Oxford, Laymon issued a quick note of caution about the “brutal niceness” of the town. En route, as we discussed the specific intimacy of knife crime, he obligingly lowered the volume on Solange and Lil Wayne so I could illustratively play him Ghetts’ verse from Stormzy’s “Bad Boys” (sample lyric: “big spear that a’ go through your belly”). ![]() He was almost apologetic when he extended the offer, but it stems from a well-honed generosity: Giving rides is a service he’s used to performing for out-of-town guests. To visit the writer Kiese Laymon in the town where he lives and teaches, you have to fly to Memphis International Airport in Tennessee and then, if you don’t drive, like me, hitch a ride from there to Oxford, Mississippi. ![]() ![]() Here we get a real first impression from Damen, and it isn’t pleasant. Self-absorbed and self-serving, raised to overestimate his own worth and indulge in petty tyrannies over others. He can’t help it, because Laurent is so beautiful to Damen.Īs he approached, Damen saw that the expression that sat on the lovely face was arrogant and unpleasant. ![]() There is something there for Damen about Laurent that captures his focus, and his admiration, even though he doesn’t want to be admiring anyone. Obviously that attraction is dulled like 2 seconds after this because of obvious reasons, but still. Before Laurent even opens his mouth, he has Damen’s attention, and attraction. ![]() Okay, this is the very fist time Damen ever sees Laurent. The courtiers were nondescript except for one: a young man with an astonishingly lovely face- the kind of face that would have earned a small fortune on the slave-block in Akielos. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reggie finds herself lost in the aftermath of Soulstice, being tested in almost unimaginable ways and struggling to find reasons to keep pushing through it. ![]() ![]() With some new characters, but a cast centered around the same ones we know, Fearscape kicks things up a few notches with flawless and bold, detailed writing. Though Reggie's character continues to be battered and tested, she pushes herself beyond even the limits she thought she had. There is an almost constant note of terror weaved throughout this book, and the full scope of things is genius in nature and almost unbelievable in scope. Keeping in line with the first two books, Fearscape continues Reggie's struggle in new and shocking ways. And Reggie will never stop fighting back. Her life is a living Hell, but she won't give up. The Vours have imprisoned Reggie in a psychiatric hospital, where she is subjected to a daily routine of unfathomably sadistic experiments. ![]() It will be another night of unspeakable horror for those unlucky enough to be taken by the Vours, because this time, she won't be able to stop them. It's been a year since Reggie first discovered the Vours, and the Winter Solstice is approaching once again. The Vours: evil, demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on Sorry Night, the darkest hours of the Winter Solstice. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a path she has continued to follow, though the author eventually came out with a couple of novellas set in her pre-established fictional worlds and self-published them.
