There being no adult heir, the Crown assumed responsibility for the interim administration of the estates. In Anglo-Norman eyes, the marriage between Strongbow and Aoife had united the holdings of the two families, which were then subject to the usual Anglo-Norman inheritance protocols. There was a boy called Gilbert and a girl called Isabel. Just five years later, Strongbow himself died, leaving Aoife with two young children. Diarmait was quickly restored but died shortly thereafter and Strongbow succeeded him. The bait was twofold: Strongbow would have Aoife’s hand in marriage and be designated as Diarmait’s heir.Īs a business proposition, it was executed smoothly. However, having run into a spot of bother with respect to possession of his kingdom, Diarmait recruited Strongbow to help him take back what he saw as rightfully his.

Hidden far beneath the modern city is London Below, a strange alternate world of swirling colors, casual magic and gothic danger, populated by misfit characters who have, quite literally, fallen through the cracks of the workaday world above.

Sam Jameson always gets what he wants and he wants his ex-wife. Successful people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have a common mindset. If we think we can achieve our goal, we will. The only thing that separates highly intelligent people from the average one is not IQ but a “mindset”. But they have the kind of thinking that allows them to succeed. Successful people are not really the smartest people in the world. The psychology of learning says that we can learn everything. Our brain has a tremendous power that is waiting to be unleashed. But the most amazing thing I realized is that the brain can adjust to anything. The higher the goal, the tougher it gets. That’s why every time I raised my standard, I also raised the work. In other words, the higher the goals I make, the higher the results. And such improvement, to me, was due to the increased goals I set for myself. My academic performance increased every semester. The pages just fly by in my desperation to find out what happens. I honestly don't give a shit anymore if these books are objectively good (what even is that, anyway?). And I think both An Ember in the Ashes and A Torch Against the Night are told with nail-biting tension and perfectly-paced action. Because, for me, it’s not what a book is about, but how it’s told. I know they’re not something out of this world and I know the story is not that original, but I don’t care. "I’m not saying it’s the best book ever or anything.”īut, you know what? Fuck it. “I’m not sure I can take your opinion seriously anymore.” “This is just like ten million other books - how can you think it's so good?” But suddenly, out of nowhere, it was a bestseller! And that's when I got some unprecedented backlash for my review. Like most books I rate and review, I expected it to be forgotten in a sea of YA. I sped through it, loved it, rated it five stars, and thought that was the end of that. Last year, I read and enjoyed an advance copy of an unknown book from a debut author - An Ember in the Ashes. All that I love, all that matters to me, awash in blood. I realize I am not staring into his eyes. If they were going to publish it, they would have called me. Editors said they were “talking about it” in their next meeting and it “looked good.” One morning, I got an email from them titled “Your manuscript.” I was so disappointed that I sagged in my chair. They liked it but…no, thanks.įinally, I had a strong nibble from a great place, Heinemann. You don’t need an agent for a book like this, I learned, so I sent it to many, many publishing houses. It even had a chapter by a famous acting teacher named Michael Shurtleff who wrote Audition. I wrote a non-fiction book for actors called How to Make Your Audience Fall in Love with You. I’m a film and theater director and I teach/coach actors in L.A. Finally, it was about making even a few cents. After that, it was getting the book into the bookstores, and keeping the book there for more than a year. |
