But I remember flashes of a different fire, of cries and screams and helplessness. Words the Moria use when someone is moving from this life and onto the next. “Mother of All-” I start to say a blessing. In Esmeraldas, where the manzanilla grows so wild it takes over entire fields, its sweetness momentarily masks the acrid scent of homespun wool and rag dolls, abandoned in haste as the villagers run along the dirt paths to escape the flames.īut nothing covers the scent of burning flesh. The deceptively bitter flower with a yellow heart and white mane of pointed petals is prized for its healing properties not only in our kingdom, but in the lands across the Castinian Sea, ensuring a steady flow of gold and food into this tiny corner of the country. All common to Puerto Leones, but here, in the eastern provincia of the kingdom, the fire burns through something else: manzanilla. ![]() Vegetable gardens of ripening tomatoes, bushels of thyme and laurel.

Over the course of the day, they gather in the lower level's basement kitchen to share stories, trade secrets, forge lifelong friendships, and sometimes even fall in love. These dedicated professionals maintain the six-floor mansion's 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, 28 fireplaces, three elevators, and eight staircases, and prepare everything from hors d'oeuvres for intimate gatherings to meals served at elaborate state dinners. Full of stories and details by turns dramatic, humorous, and heartwarming, The Residence reveals daily life in the White House as it is really lived through the voices of the maids, butlers, cooks, florists, doormen, engineers, and others who tend to the needs of the President and First Family. No one has insight into their true character like the people who serve their meals and make their beds every day.

Bottom line: I didn’t know bisexuality was an option. Unless I just “don’t like labels.” And maybe that last one would have resonated if 12-year-old me had any clue what that phrase meant. But I also knew I wasn’t a lesbian, so where did that leave me? All of the movies, television and books I saw confirmed that gay or straight were my only options. Looking back, I always knew I wasn’t straight. In fact, Grrrls on the Side features several bisexual girls because when I was growing up, a book like that didn’t exist and it should have.Ī lack of representation not only kept me in the closet, but it prevented me from even realizing that I’m bisexual. But this time I knew it had to be a girl. I came out as bisexual just after writing my last book, In the Present Tense, so it was important to me to write about another bisexual character. ![]() Be sure to check out the tour-wide giveaway at the end of the post!

Funny how one’s judgement is influenced when facing a personal problem, however sound it might be considered when dealing with other people’s. ‘My dear William, you’ve spent the past ten years of your life telling me I’m far too careful.’ ‘ I’m sorry, Tony. I’ll have a word with him if you like.’ ‘Yes, please do, but do be careful, won’t you?’ said William. ‘He was a class ahead of me at Yale, and I occasionally come across him at these infernal dinners, which you’ll have to attend once you’re a chairman. ‘I don’t know him all that well,’ said Tony. But he’s a loyal servant of the bank, and I can’t believe he would oppose Charles Lester’s express wishes.’ ‘I didn’t realize you knew him,’ said William. ‘ That’s common knowledge in financial circles. ‘ It’s true that Ted Leach has always hoped to be the next chairman of Lester’s,’ he said.

I can wholeheartedly recommend to visit Nick at Black Diamond and see for yourself - you will leave feeling inspired. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a glimpse into the history and development of a great rock star, who is also so much more than that. It’s a wonderful tribute to his life achievements and I can only be glad that he decided to share how he sees the world with us. I wouldn’t want to spoil anyone’s experience by revealing too much, but let’s just say feeling “at home with” the artist himself will appear much more literal and tangible than you would expect.Īlthough it’s impossible to fully define identity this way, “Stranger than Kindness” shines a light on Nick Cave’s beautiful mind and its twisted workings that have led to the most extraordinary music and storytelling being produced. The exhibition uses traditional media and ways of showcasing different elements, however, similarly to the Leonard Cohen’s “A Crack in Everything” at Nikolaj Kunsthal, it goes to extreme lengths to help one be fully immersed. ![]() |
