Looking at the category and spotting tragedy among them, I started to shy away from this manga. Genres: Drama, Romance, School, Sci-Fi, Shoujo, Psychological, Slice of Life, Tragedy Future Naho asks her to watch over him closely. What’s more shocking is that she discovers that ten years later, Kakeru will no longer be with them. The Naho from ten years later repeatedly states that she has many regrets, and she wants to fix these by making sure the Naho from the past can make the right decisions – especially regarding Kakeru. As Naho reads on, the letter recites the exact events of that day, including the transfer of a new student into her class named Naruse Kakeru. Takamiya Naho receives a letter written to herself ten years from the future. Recently, I found another ‘ orange‘ in the form of a manga. Another day to live, another day to choose to keep going. Sunrise and sunset denote beginning and end. Orange is such a bright, vibrant color. But come to think of it, sunrise and sunset have hints of orange too. I never dreamed that the time would come that I would relate orange to tears.

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Bella Andre is one of the rare self-published phenomenons who has become an ebook millionaire. What will happen to romance and love during the apocalypse? No flower shops left for buying her Valentine’s roses, no birth control pills or condoms, no going to Victoria’s Secret to buy lingerie to get him in the mood. Since my dystopian paranormal romance, Apocalyptic Moon takes place during the zombie apocalypse, the zombie pandemic will be my metaphor for romance in the apocalypse. Or perhaps, a dictator will take over and keep order by taking away our rights. Survivors will have to deal with starvation, finding drinkable water, the danger from whatever had caused the apocalypse (demons, aliens, radiation, robots or zombies), and the road warrior type gangs, looting raping and killing. There are numerous scenarios from the biblical apocalypse to alien invasion or the current favorite, a zombie pandemic. A disease has ravaged humanity or a great environmental disaster or even nuclear war has turned the earth into ghost planet. Especially if she can help us fight off any impending zombie invasion.īy Eva Gordon, Author of Apocalyptic Moonīook 1 in the Dystopian Paranormal Romance After the Bane Series MuseTracks is happy to host fantasy and paranormal author, Eva Gordon. Known as the Road of Bones, it is a massive graveyard for the former Soviet Union’s gulag prisoners. A narrow path where drivers face such challenging conditions as icy surfaces, limited visibility, and an average temperature of sixty degrees below zero, fatal car accidents are common.īut motorists are not the only victims of the highway. Surrounded by barren trees in a snow-covered wilderness with a dim, dusky sky forever overhead, Siberia’s Kolyma Highway is 1200 miles of gravel packed permafrost within driving distance of the Arctic Circle. An American documentarian travels a haunted highway across the frozen tundra of Siberia in New York Times bestselling author Christopher Golden’s Road of Bones, a “tightly wound, atmospheric, and creepy as hell” (Stephen King) supernatural thriller. Some times when you read a new author, you just know that you are going to enjoy their books because you enjoy their voice! Tansy Rayner Roberts is one of those authors. Yes, you do have to wear the damned toga. Immortal heroes really don’t fancy teenage girls. Don’t let your little brother make out with silver-eyed blondes. Women named Julia are stronger than they appear. The world is in greater danger than you ever suspected. (He didn’t even know she had a thing for pointy teeth.) It’s a sight to behold.įurther in the future, the last man who guards the secret history of the world will discover that the past has a way of coming around to bite you. Sometime in the near future, a community will live in a replica Roman city built in the Australian bush. (If it was the poet you are thinking of, the story would have ended far more happily, and with fewer people having their throats bitten out.) Hundreds of years ago, Fanny and Mary ran away from London with a debauched poet and his sister. (It included more monsters than you might think.) The document was lost, or destroyed, almost immediately. Thousands of years ago, Julia Agrippina wrote the true history of her family, the Caesars.
Most interesting (and least likeable) is Vi, the older sister, the emotional one, who reacts to everything in a huge way, driving the family forward, literally and figuratively, with her energy and her anger. It is the story of ultimate sacrifice and the meaning of family. Other than that, the novel is an emotional rollercoaster, as the family members try to deal with the possible death of one of them, which reaches a climax when they realize that they actually have a choice as to which one of them will die. This is the tale of four young adults, beautifully portrayed products of a dysfunctional family, who are allowed, through a slip in time, to work through their former relationships in order to discover how much they really mean to each other. It is also the story of families, and how they function together. It is about people and how their past lives and relationships affect them. Very refreshing for those of us who are tired of the same old “time travel paradox” which I won’t bore you with, because this author doesn’t.īecause that is not what the story is about. The story goes on the assumption that what is, is, and what has happened, has happened, will happen, and there is no point in worrying about it. However, the author makes no effort to explain how time travel works or to explain anything else, for that matter. It talks a lot about time travel, because the characters are aware from the first chapter that their lives are being manipulated. This book is a rarity in the Time Travel genre. With the same passion, humor, and energy that he has invested in his dozens of performances over the last eighteen years, he tells the story of his life, his career, and his campaign to find a cure for Parkinson's.Ĭombining his trademark ironic sensibility and keen sense of the absurd, he recounts his life - from his childhood in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film and television which made him a worldwide celebrity. Fortunately, he had accepted the diagnosis, and by the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. Fox stunned the world by announcing that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease - a degenerative neurological condition. "If you were to rush in to this room right now and announce that you had struck a deal-with God, Allah, Buddha, Christ, Krishna, Bill Gates, whomever-in which the ten years since my diagnosis could be magically taken away, traded in for ten more years as the person I was before, I would, without a moment's hesitation, tell you to take a hike." These assessments have led over the long term to Mittelholzer’s marginalization within academic circles and are partial explanation for the relatively small amount of critical attention his novels receive today. McDougall’s statement based on the assessments of past scholars is typical: ‘Mittelholzer is known to have suffered a sense of “genetic injury,” as Gilkes phrases the problem, because of his “Negro blood”, which in Mittelholzer’s own (unfortunately fascist and racist) view, contaminated his European inheritance.’ (1992: 79). These views initially and respectively highlighted by scholars 2 like Geoffrey Wagner (1961) and Joyce Sparer (1968), were said to reflect the views of the author have been repeated ad infinitum based largely on received wisdom, a surface analysis of the text and Mittelholzer’s interest in German philosophers like Nietzsche and Schopenhauer.
