She might be well versed in the ways of the forest, but she lacks social graces until she intercedes to save the life of a young priest – and an unlikely friendship comes into being. Instead of reaching a haven where Ilan might be afforded the opportunity to enjoy a relatively normal upbringing, Ilan ends up at the mercy of the thieves of the Dimmingwood when the peddler with whom she is travelling is ambushed.Īnd that is how Ilan becomes a mascot of sorts, for a band of thieves, and has a thoroughly unconventional upbringing for a young lady. Though Ilan’s parents try to get her to safety, as a last-ditch attempt to protect her when soldiers come to hunt them down, things go wrong. Ilan is orphaned at a young age, and though author C Greenwood doesn’t exactly name Ilan’s race, the pointy ears and ability to do magic all point at elves.

Ford and Drake think it’s high time that women get their heads out of the clouds and start caring about their own security - the kind that can be measured in dollars and common sense. Yet sadly, statistics prove that - not only do women continue to earn far less than their male counterparts - they also suffer far more economically when marriages fail. Female “empowerment” has women working hard to look sexier than ever, while carrying more than their fair share financially. Smart Girls taps into a growing, collective suspicion that the post-feminist world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In this brazen manifesto, authors Elizabeth Ford and Daniela Drake use cold hard facts, real science, and true stories to present a compelling case for why mercenary marriages make the most sense for future happiness. Smart Girls Marry Money challenges the ideals and assumptions women have blindly accepted about love and marriage - and shows how they’ve done so at their own economic peril. Why does society applaud a girl who falls for a guy’s “big blue eyes” yet denounces one who chooses a man with a “big green bankroll?” After all, isn’t earning power more a reflection of a man’s values and character? Tell us about the first piece of writing you ever finished. I’ve come to think everyone has the book that turns them into a reader. Then one day I ended up winning an audiobook of Danny, the Champion of the World and, ebing able to hear it, it became the first real novel I “read.” After hearing it, I really did read it. I learned that if a teacher saw you with a book in your hand, you could get up to all kinds of mischief and no one would suspect it was you (who broke that window). When I was a kid, I liked hearing stories and telling them, but I didn’t particularly like reading. What was your favourite book growing up?ĭanny, the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl.

Pushing Ice is a hard SF novel in the 'Big Dumb Object' tradition, following in the footsteps of Arthur C. Naturally, complications ensue and the crew of Rockhopper are forced to make a home on Janus as it accelerates towards lightspeed, which will carry them to Spica in 250 years, although thanks to time dilation only a dozen years will pass for those on board. The plan is for the ship to tail the anomaly for a week before returning to Earth. When Saturn's moon Janus inexplicably leaves its orbit and heads out of the Solar system in the direction of the star Spica, an 'ice-pusher' ship named Rockhopper is the only vessel positioned to intercept it. In the depths of the Solar system, large spacecraft routinely intercept and redirect ice asteroids and comets into Earth orbit, where their raw materials can be used to fuel Earth's growing economy and incessant need for raw materials.
