I just recently released Havoc of Souls, a horror post apocalyptical paranormal romance, as well as a holiday special from my Mate Index universe: A Mate for Oigr. Sometimes it gets a bit crazy around here. I still paint and sculpt, although much of time is directed toward writing these days when not taking care of my three-year-old and five-year-old. With a passion for art, I painted and sculpted part time to earn extra income. When I was unable to establish a career using my degree, I worked retail while taking care of my kids. I graduated with a BA in history, minoring in Literature. I came into writing almost by accident, mostly born from my love of reading sci-fi and paranormal romances. I am an Alaskan currently residing in Florida.įiona: A little about your self (ie, your education, family life, etc.). Let’s get you introduced to everyone, shall we? Tell us your name.

Join Iron Man, Professor X, Black Bolt, the Sub-Mariner and Mr. have boldly taken on these concepts with a loving hand, in the process telling a fresh and crackling fun yarn full of mystery, suspense, and majestic power - all with an eye on helping establish Kirby’s creations as a vital part of the Marvel Universe once and for all. New Avengers: Illuminati Series by Brian Michael Bendis New Avengers: Illuminati Series 5 primary works 12 total works 5 issue mini-series released in 2007. An elite group of the planet's most powerful guardians to face its greatest threats. Flash forward to 2006: Superstar creators Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr. “During the 1970s, comics legend Jack ‘King’ Kirby returned to the House of Ideas with perhaps his biggest idea of all: the universe of the Eternals! Their creation was the result of Kirby’s ceaseless curiosity about the origin of man and his mythologies - but like many of the King’s concepts, it was definitely ahead of its time. New Avengers: Illuminati (2006) 3 Published: Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Penciller: Jim Cheung Cover Artist: Jim Cheung Years ago a mysterious creature called the Beyonder gathered the heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe for the Secret Wars. He is met by reporters and paparazzi who photograph him and shout at him-he is “The First Man From the Moon” to them. Kimoe, Shevek prepares himself for landing on the capitalist, deeply socially-stratified world of Urras. In the days that follow, Shevek runs a high fever as a side effect of the various vaccines, and when he awakes, he finds that he is halfway to Urras-the Moon, twin, and rival planet of his home planet, Anarres. Onboard the ship-a freighter called the Mindful-the passenger, a man named Shevek, is taken to his cabin and injected with several vaccines by a Urrasti doctor named Kimoe. The passenger makes it on board and the ship doors close, and within a few minutes the angry mob disperses. Members of the Anarresti Defense syndicate flank the man and hurry him to the ship as protestors begin throwing rocks, clipping the man’s shoulder and killing a Defense syndic. As a man crosses the wall and walks through the barren field toward the ship, the protestors recognize him and begin to chase him. A group of protestors gathers at the wall that surrounds the Port of Anarres as a spaceship docked there prepares for liftoff. He either printed black & white prints himself or had a commercial lab do them. When I had a darkroom, I did some traditional silver prints for him but not many. Saul would sometimes give me things to print in black & white and color. When some new camera came along, especially if it was smaller and lighter, he would often purchase one and experiment with it. He was very fond of cameras - one could say, excessively fond of cameras. In the street, he used a series of cameras: Canon A1, Leica CL, Minox EL, Olympus XA, and later, numerous digital SLR and pocket cameras. When he did his commercial work, he generally preferred to use a Leica M4, occasionally a Rollie 6圆. When I worked with him I learned to always check for the camera in our travels about New York. Sometimes in exasperation, perhaps from distraction, he would accidentally leave them in a restaurant or cab. He constantly carried a camera when I knew him. His published works provide ample evidence of his immense talent. Saul's photography hardly needs any introduction. Fortunately that thirteenth book is a floater so if I have an idea and my editor likes it, there may be one more. I thought I knew how I was going to end it.

In a newspaper interview in 1994, she was asked for her ‘Book of the Year’ and, in typically contrarian style, she chose her then most recent book, Written on the Body (Onega 2006, 3).

Yet, returning to the book now, thirty years later, its playfulness and prescience are undeniable.Ĭover of the 1992 first edition of Written on the Body. Such response was partly due to the text’s apparent regurgitation of romantic platitudes, for all its apparent attempts to dismantle them, and a sense that Winterson’s expansive creativity was not on full display. As Merja Makinen notes, however, the critical reception of Written on the Body left something to be desired, with most reviews ‘ambivalent’ at best and harsh at worst (2005, 110-111). Published in September 1992, Written on the Body is Winterson’s fifth book and, due to the immense success of her debut, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985), Winterson’s readership, as well as the press, had high hopes for its publication. The proceeding narrative (Winterson does not like to call her books ‘novels’) then seeks to deconstruct the clichés and stereotypes of love, to understand and remake it, and to find a ‘precise expression’ of it (1993, 10). On the first page of Jeanette Winterson’s Written on the Body, which was first published thirty years ago this month, the nameless narrator declares: ‘Love demands expression’ (1993, 9).
