Seeing newspapers and broadcast outlets that once stood as titans of journalism now nearly enfeebled to the industry equivalent of hospice care is wrenching, as is the human toll paid by excellent journalists I have known who were discarded as collateral damage. In the second paragraph was Warner’s money quote: that local news outlets “keep our citizens informed, combat disinformation, and serve as a crucial check on our government institutions.” The 338-word piece by Meghan McIntyre was rich with alarming statistics about the brutal declines local news organizations have suffered from interconnected societal, technological, and financial challenges. ![]() senator, Mark Warner, supporting a resolution that endorses the need for robust, independent local news organizations. ![]() ![]() My eye was drawn to a short story in the Virginia Mercury last week about the commonwealth’s senior U.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrative follows the adventures of a young man named Rigg, an unknowing colonist of a planet called Garden in a seemingly medieval state of scientific advancement.

For those unaware, Rebecca was just shy of 18, and Connor was 29. But I give the author credit for making her as much of an adult as she dared without making the story impossible (or at least improbable). Any older and she would have been having a season or she might have been getting married. While I personally would have preferred if Rebecca was a bit older, the whole premise of the story wouldn't have worked. He stayed "for her" not because of sexual desire, but because he *liked* her. But his interest in her had never been sexual. She was not educated in some of the seedier aspects of the world, but she was raised to be a gentleman's wife, and though she chose to ignore most of those teachings, that doesn't make her unqualified. In this case, despite being young (and inexperienced), Rebecca was never immature. Personally, I am VERY attuned to the skeeve factor regarding any hint of pedophilia. This has upset several readers, since the age difference is so pronounced. This was probably the 4th book by Julie Anne Long that I've read, so I know not just what she's capable of, but could also appreciate the fact that a book that I enjoyed this much was a debut novel.Ĭonnor Riordan is a groom for the Tremaine family, when he meets Rebecca as a 12 year old. ![]() A sweet, enjoyable read, with lovely and loving characters ![]() ![]() ![]() Īfter a year and a half without news on the production itself, casting was announced in June 2014. announced that it will serve as the worldwide TV distributor of the series, except in the United Kingdom.

Told in the first person by Rachel you really feel her paranoia, distrust and emotions, although I did find it hard to totally endear to her. I was totally bewildered by what secrets the main protagonists' Rachel and Jack could have been harbouring, although towards the end I did start to suspect what was coming in the end. ![]() I read this over the period of a weekend and was perfect for lazy sunny reading in the garden. The story is quite slow and steady in its plot but straight away you feel you are encircled in a bubble of intrigue and secrets that you don't want to escape from until the book is finished. I love when you can truly relate to places in books, it makes it so much more realistic. There were times I felt like I was actually standing in Oban's harbour smelling the fish and chips and then standing in Newcastle's city centre looking at the Monument, so well had the author captured and portrayed these places I know so well. I bought this book "Everything But The Truth" for a couple of reasons - I'd heard so many good things about it on social media and the fact that I live in NE England and love the Highlands of Scotland - both places where the story is set. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are two subsidiary sequences, the Atta Olivia Clemens books about Saint-Germain's vampire lover beginning with A Flame in Byzantium ( 1987) and the Madelaine de Montalia books beginning with Out of the House of Life ( 1990).
