BookIt Nook, an independent bookstore in Poulsbo, Wash., held its official grand opening this weekend. Kiyosaki’s irreverent attitude about financial education certainly changed my life, helping me focus more on how money can give me freedom - instead of sacrificing my freedom to get more money. Kiyosaki has since written more than 20 books, invented a game called CASHFLOW, co-founded The Rich Dad Company and educated people all over the world about their finances. The book challenged conventional wisdom about everything from work culture to how we value things like cars and homes, going on to become the No. Entrepreneur, educator and investor Robert Kiyosaki turned the way the world thinks about money upside-down when he published “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” in 1997. The shirt symbolizes the loss of Astrid, who used to do his laundry. Instead of presenting a full-colour portrait of a character, I might pick out one object of clothing that symbolizes the character, or says something about that character’s life.įor example, when Lee gets out of bed in his first chapter he grabs a wrinkled shirt out of the laundry basket. There’s always an unless.įor the most part, what a character looks like – blond hair, dark hair, short, tall – doesn’t matter to me, unless the character is seen through the eyes of another character, in which case the interpretation has more to do with the looker than the one being looked at. unless of course what is in the drawer is part of the premise. By the time you finish writing a book you might know what your characters keep hidden in their dresser drawers, but you can’t create a character by deciding this before you start. I do none of this and I venture to guess that most fiction writers do not. Certain how-to books tell you to make lists of character traits and what people wear and how they talk and what kind of childhood they had. "When I teach writing, one of the most common questions I get is about character development. The characters in Cool Water stayed with long after turning the last page. I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Dianne Warren as my guest blogger today! If you stopped by yesterday, you read my review of her latest book - Cool Water. Disheartened by America’s racial climate, Griffin wanted to see what life would be like as a Black man, so he concocted a daring experiment, where he would pose as one in order to understand the plight of “Negroes.” Griffin drastically darkened his skin and inconspicuously traveled throughout the rabidly racist South for nearly two months during the height of the civil rights era in 1959. When Griffin reached adulthood, he felt compelled to contribute toward ending racism, so he embarked on a journey. During his childhood, Griffin, who was Caucasian, was quickly schooled in the White supremacist ideologies of his surrounding community. John Howard Griffin (pictured) was born in 1920 in the “good ol’ boy” state of Texas. Until Talia said that she knew who made the fear spray. Talia was a great study-subject – even though Harleen wasn’t technically supposed to ever speak to her. Then, some of Harleen’s friends were attacked with a fear spray that made them scream and scream, and her best friend died from it. There was gossip but Harleen had her research to enjoy, she loved her mentor, and she was fascinated by Talia al Ghul, who’d tried to assassinate Gotham’s mayor. Sure, she’d still have to put up with classmates like the jerk who kept asking if she was “straight now” (nope, still bi, today, tomorrow, last week) and she’d have to try to fit in, which was hard to do after what happened at the end of last year. Freeze, she could be assigned to any one of them at Arkham Asylum.įirst year was also going to be a bit of a relief. Having completed the university’s gap-year program last year, Harleen Quinzel was practically bouncing. She’d decided on research, possibly psychology, as a career and first year program included mentorship and a chance to study some of Gotham’s worst, most notorious criminal minds. Being a first-year intern at Gotham University was going to be the best. Seducing her into marriage will defeat his rivals - and if she becomes pregnant with his heir, his hold on his homeland will be complete.

The book opens with Hartsfield in the stolen car, wearing a clown mask and rubber gloves, mowing down a crowd of unemployed jobseekers at a job fair, killing eight people and injuring many more. In terms of evil cars and Stephen King, Christine will assuredly be the one that comes to the mind for most people not so for me. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. In Mr Mercedes the handsome grey machine becomes a lethal weapon, but since this is a cop thriller - King’s first - the car is firmly in the control of a straightforwardly nasty psychopath called Brady Hartsfield. Stephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. There was Christine, which he wrote in 1983, a story about a red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury possessed by evil spirits, and then From a Buick 8, about a vintage car which wasn’t actually a car at all but a portal into another universe.
