Much of his work featured nude or scantily clad women–of all skin and hair colors–with tightly muscled yet voluptuous figures.Īs a pulp, detective, and movie poster artist, he had many opportunities to display his talents for painting ladies. McGinnis was a great admirer of the sensual female form. Fires of Winter portrayed a fully naked hero, his legs bent and splayed open, with the heroine lying between his thighs. Before that, most clinch covers would show the heroine’s heaving bosoms while the hero remained fully clothed. Their first two covers were pleasing enough, but starting with 1980’s Fires of Winter, McGinnis would upend the romance industry. McGinnis’ artwork and Lindsey’s novels made for a powerhouse combination. Tender is the Storm was released in 1985 as Lindsey’s 10th consecutive bestseller. The cover of Tender Is the Storm is the notorious one designed by Robert McGinnis with the naked hero standing tall as the heroine kneels before him, her ample breasts pressed firmly against his–er…dongle. If you’re familiar with your romance history, then you must know of this book, even if you haven’t read it. Did You Hear the One About the Naked Guy?

She lost her entire family in one tragic accident when she was a teenager and has had to look after herself ever since then.

This is a luscious yet poignant story that will seduce your senses, get you invested in the characters and make you hopelessly want to believe in happy endings. I was lost to it from the very first page and have loved every single one after that. It is superbly written books like this one that truly feed my reading addiction and keep me awake until the wee hours of the morning, glued to the pages, unable to tear myself away from the story. In this episode we consider this claim by examining its unquestioned assumption: is it actually *true* that the apostles were all martyred for their faith? How do we know? How *could* we know? In fact, what do we know about martyrdom within Christianity at all in the first two centuries? How often did it occur? And were Christians martyred for saying that Jesus was raised from the dead? Therefore the disciples really were witnesses to the resurrection. Someone may die for the truth, but who would die for a lie? And ALL of them? That seems completely implausible. One of the claims consistently made by Christian apologists is that the apostles who declared that they themselves had seen Jesus after he had been raised from the dead MUST have been telling the truth - since they all died for their belief. So what happened? One sailer out of the nine finished. A little jumpy, primitive, extremely honest, straightforward, intensely reflective. His writing resembles those he is describing and their vessels. A Brit, living in Northern California, he is the author of Sea Change: Alone Cross the Atlantic in a Wooden Boat and Voyage to the North Star. Nichols has been a yacht captain, an instructor of creative writing, and is now a full-time writer. What causes a man to go into a long term solitude and expect to live? His curiosity is more than that of a researcher. The author launched himself into a wooden sailboat and attempted to cross the Atlantic propelled by the pain of divorce. Well built, fast, but not luxurious compared to today’s yachts. She had been such a competitor in a round the world race. I once crewed on an ocean 71 from San Francisco to San Diego. The focus of this narrative is the 1969 Golden Globe Single Handed Race around the world accompanied by personal stories of heartbreak, shipwreck and with one sailor, madness. Why in the world would three sailors enter an ‘around the world, singlehanded’ race in sailboats meant only for coastal cruising? Even better why would a man enter this race who never ever sailed before? Peter Nichols wrote this 289 page book driven by these questions and others just as odd. A Voyage for Madmen by Peter Nichols Reviewed by McCabe Coolidge Rose’s simple, occasionally staccato narration conveys a poetry and grace, and the respect for the struggle to say something-through art in particular-comes across on every page. Moreover, the journey concludes at a No Nukes rally, and the message (people are people, the rest is politics) briefly overwhelms the story. This spare, powerful story of friendship and art (both are ballerinas American Rose struggles to succeed while Soviet Yrena dances beautifully but hates it) loses something by virtue of a setting that is historical but too recent to be the stuff of history classes (and is thus unfamiliar to the target audience) without a sense of the Cold War era, readers will find much here perplexing. An ’80s movie in novel form: A smart, painfully lonely teen finds an unlikely connection to the daughter of officials from the Soviet Union, and together they go on the all-night New York City adventure of a lifetime, finding love, friendship and laughter along the way. “Who will protect us?” the people wailed as they darted their gazes up toward the darkening sky in fear. Wavy heat lines rose from cracked asphalt, a reminder of the extreme temperatures that had descended upon a city of steel and glass. Neon lights snapped and crackled, burning against the coming dark, illuminating the faces of the damned and the forgotten. Darkened buildings loomed, towers of the rich and powerful, holding the populace in the palms of their diabolically malevolent hands. Horns honked in steel gridlocks, fists shaking angrily out the car windows. People scurried on the sidewalks, sweat dripping down their faces in streaks like tears, silently crying out for someone to save them from themselves. Steam (and brown water) leaked from manhole covers, creating a wet fog that smelled like desperation and a complete lack of infrastructural understanding. Near dusk, shadows stretched like reaching darkness, the heat from the summer day like molten claws to the chest, digging into the beating heart of a city under siege. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained-and puzzled-millions of mystery fans around the world. The man has entered our folklore."- The New York Times Book Review A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America's greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Set in 1950s Manhattan, it stars Maury Chaykin as the heavyweight detective genius Nero Wolfe, and Timothy Hutton as Wolfe's assistant, Archie Goodwin, narrator of the Nero Wolfe stories. Introduction by Linda Barnes "It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Mystery is a 2000 American crime drama television film based on the 1953 novel by Rex Stout. The case is all boiling down to a strange taste of greed-and a grumpy gourmand's unappeasable appetite for truth. In short order, Wolfe finds himself confronted by one of his most perplexing and pressing cases, involving a curious set of clues: a gray Cadillac, a mysterious woman, and a pair of earrings shaped like spiders dipped in gold. So why has he accepted a case for $4.30? And why have the last two people to hire him been ruthlessly murdered? Wolfe suspects the answers may lie in the story of a twelve-year-old boy who turns up at the door of his West Thirty-fifth Street brownstone. Nero Wolfe was almost as famous for his wealthy clients and extravagant fees as for his genius at detection. He paved the way for the Lakers to rout Golden State, 127-97. Russell did not score a single point in the second half, but he had done his job. He is the 1st player in Lakers history with 20 points and five 3-pointers before halftime of a playoff game /vuerkV0nMR It tied a franchise postseason record for most made treys in a half, and he became the first player in the Lakers’ storied history to reach 20 points and five 3s by halftime of a playoff game.ĭ'Angelo Russell tied the Lakers postseason record with five 3-pointers in a single half They finished the first half with an 11-point lead, and the biggest reason was Russell’s 21 points and 5-of-7 shooting from downtown. He made each of his four shots, three of which were 3-pointers, and he carried the Lakers early while his teammates had trouble hitting from the field. Yet in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Golden State Warriors, Russell came out on fire. Since then, he has had a couple of other good or great games, but interspersed between them have been a couple of duds. So far in his postseason career, Los Angeles Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell has been consistently inconsistent.Ĭoming into this year’s playoffs, he had never shot above 45% in a single playoff game, and he didn’t have such a performance until Game 4 of the first round versus the Memphis Grizzlies.
