Penguin Books (NZ). Very Good. 23 x 15.5cm. Paperback. 2001. 583 pages.<br>Janet Frame, born in 1924, is New Zealand's most ce lebrated and least public author. Her early life in small South I sland towns seemed, at times, engulfed in a tide of doom: one bro ther still-born, another epileptic; two sisters dead of heart fai lure while swimming; Frame herself committed to mental hospitals for the best part of a decade. Later, her surviving sister was te mporarily felled in adulthood by a stroke, an uncle cut his throa t and a cousin shot his lover, his lover's parents and then himse lf. . This, then, is an inspiring biography of a woman who climbe d out of an abyss of unhappiness to take control of her life and become one of the great writers of her time. And to enable her bi ographer to write this book scrupulously and honestly, Janet Fram e spoke for the first time about her whole life. She also made av ailable her personal papers and directed her family and friends t o be equally communicative. The result is a biography of astonish ing intimacy and frankness. ., Penguin Books (NZ), 2001, 3, Paperback / softback. New. At only twenty-five, Jack Lancaster is far too young to be having a mid-life crisis, but he's going to have a pretty good shot at it anyway. On the surface, his is an idyllic situation.

SUMMARY - Sofie Metropolis is the newest P.I. on the mean streets of Astoria, Queens. She's known for her trademark frappes and her itchy trigger finger. She even shot one of her own clients!........Well, he was trying to kill her at the time . . . and she only hit him in the knee . . . . Sofie's hot on the trail of a missing pet ferret--wait, aren't those illegal in New York City?--and a missing dry cleaner. According to his furious wife, Aglaia, Uncle Tolly was acting odd right before he disappeared. The proof? The brand-new Mercedes Tolly just bought. And the business's books, which show that Uncle Tolly was laundering more than just clothes..........Which is where the mob comes in, in the darkly handsome figure of Tony DiPiazza. Tony's very taken with Sofie. Too bad she won't back off the money-laundering and kidnapping (or is it murder?) investigation. ........Really too bad, since hunky Australian bounty hunter/man of mystery Jake Porter is hanging around again, tinkering under the hood of Sofie's car and kissing Sofie like he really means it, only she's too busy to notice.........Too busy: being attacked by a malevolent dry-cleaning bag; bailing Aglaia out of jail; airing out her apartment after an assault by noxious dog-farts; and spying on her own father. Because Sofie's mother thinks that after nearly thirty years of marriage, her husband is having an affair. Can't anyone stay faithful for five minutes?..........Sofie's quest for the truth gets her into hot water--and a pair of cement overshoes. It's not her best look.., Forge Books, 2006, 6, HarperSports, Australia, 2002. Trade Paperback. Good Condition. Known as the consummate professional, Mark Skaife lives, eats and breathes motorsport - and has only one ambition in life, to look back in 20 years and know I gave it the best I had ... Arguably the best touring Car driver of the last decade, Mark Skaife pens a year in the life of a reigning V8 Champion - from flying down Conrod Straight at nearly 300km/hour to winning the 2001 Bathurst 1000, through to racing around the streets of Parliament House in the national Capital in a roaring 600bhp V8 Supercar. In 2000 Mark successfully won his 3rd Australian touring Car Championship, first for the all conquering Holden Racing team, and in 2001 repeated his dominance on track to clinch his 4th. In 2002 he's giving it his best shot at not only the 'hat trick', but equalling the all time record of 5 Championships. What drives a driver? Come trackside behind the scenes, and find out what it takes to achieve this type of success; the rivalry, the tactics, strategies, and even the in-car radio 'chat'. Join him in the corporate boardrooms of what is now considered the 'business of motorsport'. In today's competitive environment, off-track can be just as competitive as on track ..

He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Howard was born and raised in Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains, with some time spent in nearby Brownwood. A bookish and intellectual child, he was also a fan of boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking up amateur boxing. From the age of nine he dreamed of becoming a writer of adventure fiction but did not have real success until he was 23. Thereafter, until his death by suicide at age 30, Howard's writings were published in a wide selection of magazines, journals, and newspapers, and he became proficient in several subgenres. His greatest success occurred after his death. Although a Conan novel was nearly published in 1934, Howard's stories were never collected during his lifetime. The main outlet for his stories was Weird Tales, where Howard created Conan the Barbarian. With Conan and his other heroes, Howard helped fashion the genre now known as sword and sorcery, spawning many imitators and giving him a large influence in the fantasy field. Howard remains a highly-read author, with his best works still reprinted. Howard's suicide and the circumstances surrounding it have led to speculation about his mental health. His mother had been ill with tuberculosis his entire life, and upon learning she had entered a coma from which she was not expected to wake, he walked out to his car and shot himself in the head. .

When a skier goes missing at Sun Valley s Galena Summit, Sheriff Walt Fleming quickly assembles his crack search-and-rescue team and heads out into the snowy night. Despite the treacherous conditions, Walt and his group, including deputy Tommy Brandon and Walt s best friend, Mark Aker, set off on skis, accompanied by highly trained search dogs. Within minutes, something goes horribly wrong: a shot rings out, and one of their team is dead. By morning, Mark Aker has disappeared. Torn between professional responsibility and the desperate urge to find his friend, Walt is further challenged by an unexplained illness at a local water-bottling plant that sends workers to the hospital and sets off biohazard warnings. Following threads of questionable evidence through the glitter of Sun Valley leads Walt to an unlikely and darker source, and reveals a crime played out on a much larger scale than he originally envisioned. Waist-deep in snow and knee-deep in lies, the life of his friend in the balance, Walt begins to suspect that the whole operation is controlled by people of great wealth and power, which leaves him where he started: out in the cold. From adrenaline-charged start to explosive finish, Killer View is heart-stopping suspense at its very best. Goodread 3.75., Thorndike Press, 2008, 0, New York: Grand Central Publishing, 2013.

Her early life in small South I sland towns seemed, at times, engulfed in a tide of doom: one bro ther still-born, another epileptic; two sisters dead of heart fai lure while swimming; Frame herself committed to mental hospitals for the best part of a decade. Later, her surviving sister was te mporarily felled in adulthood by a stroke, an uncle cut his throa t and a cousin shot his lover, his lover's parents and then himse lf. . This, then, is an inspiring biography of a woman who climbe d out of an abyss of unhappiness to take control of her life and become one of the great writers of her time. And to enable her bi ographer to write this book scrupulously and honestly, Janet Fram e spoke for the first time about her whole life. She also made av ailable her personal papers and directed her family and friends t o be equally communicative. The result is a biography of astonish ing intimacy and frankness. ., Penguin Books (NZ), 2001, 3, Paperback / softback. New.

SUMMARY - Sofie Metropolis is the newest P.I. on the mean streets of Astoria, Queens. She's known for her trademark frappes and her itchy trigger finger. She even shot one of her own clients!........Well, he was trying to kill her at the time . . . and she only hit him in the knee . . . . Sofie's hot on the trail of a missing pet ferret--wait, aren't those illegal in New York City?--and a missing dry cleaner. According to his furious wife, Aglaia, Uncle Tolly was acting odd right before he disappeared. The proof? The brand-new Mercedes Tolly just bought. And the business's books, which show that Uncle Tolly was laundering more than just clothes..........Which is where the mob comes in, in the darkly handsome figure of Tony DiPiazza. Tony's very taken with Sofie. Too bad she won't back off the money-laundering and kidnapping (or is it murder?) investigation. ........Really too bad, since hunky Australian bounty hunter/man of mystery Jake Porter is hanging around again, tinkering under the hood of Sofie's car and kissing Sofie like he really means it, only she's too busy to notice.........Too busy: being attacked by a malevolent dry-cleaning bag; bailing Aglaia out of jail; airing out her apartment after an assault by noxious dog-farts; and spying on her own father. Because Sofie's mother thinks that after nearly thirty years of marriage, her husband is having an affair. Can't anyone stay faithful for five minutes?..........Sofie's quest for the truth gets her into hot water--and a pair of cement overshoes. It's not her best look.., Forge Books, 2006, 6, HarperSports, Australia, 2002. Trade Paperback. Good Condition. Known as the consummate professional, Mark Skaife lives, eats and breathes motorsport - and has only one ambition in life, to look back in 20 years and know I gave it the best I had ... Arguably the best touring Car driver of the last decade, Mark Skaife pens a year in the life of a reigning V8 Champion - from flying down Conrod Straight at nearly 300km/hour to winning the 2001 Bathurst 1000, through to racing around the streets of Parliament House in the national Capital in a roaring 600bhp V8 Supercar. In 2000 Mark successfully won his 3rd Australian touring Car Championship, first for the all conquering Holden Racing team, and in 2001 repeated his dominance on track to clinch his 4th. In 2002 he's giving it his best shot at not only the 'hat trick', but equalling the all time record of 5 Championships. What drives a driver? Come trackside behind the scenes, and find out what it takes to achieve this type of success; the rivalry, the tactics, strategies, and even the in-car radio 'chat'. Join him in the corporate boardrooms of what is now considered the 'business of motorsport'. In today's competitive environment, off-track can be just as competitive as on track ..

He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Howard was born and raised in Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains, with some time spent in nearby Brownwood. A bookish and intellectual child, he was also a fan of boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking up amateur boxing. From the age of nine he dreamed of becoming a writer of adventure fiction but did not have real success until he was 23. Thereafter, until his death by suicide at age 30, Howard's writings were published in a wide selection of magazines, journals, and newspapers, and he became proficient in several subgenres. His greatest success occurred after his death. Although a Conan novel was nearly published in 1934, Howard's stories were never collected during his lifetime. The main outlet for his stories was Weird Tales, where Howard created Conan the Barbarian. With Conan and his other heroes, Howard helped fashion the genre now known as sword and sorcery, spawning many imitators and giving him a large influence in the fantasy field. Howard remains a highly-read author, with his best works still reprinted. Howard's suicide and the circumstances surrounding it have led to speculation about his mental health. His mother had been ill with tuberculosis his entire life, and upon learning she had entered a coma from which she was not expected to wake, he walked out to his car and shot himself in the head. .

When a skier goes missing at Sun Valley s Galena Summit, Sheriff Walt Fleming quickly assembles his crack search-and-rescue team and heads out into the snowy night. Despite the treacherous conditions, Walt and his group, including deputy Tommy Brandon and Walt s best friend, Mark Aker, set off on skis, accompanied by highly trained search dogs. Within minutes, something goes horribly wrong: a shot rings out, and one of their team is dead. By morning, Mark Aker has disappeared. Torn between professional responsibility and the desperate urge to find his friend, Walt is further challenged by an unexplained illness at a local water-bottling plant that sends workers to the hospital and sets off biohazard warnings. Following threads of questionable evidence through the glitter of Sun Valley leads Walt to an unlikely and darker source, and reveals a crime played out on a much larger scale than he originally envisioned. Waist-deep in snow and knee-deep in lies, the life of his friend in the balance, Walt begins to suspect that the whole operation is controlled by people of great wealth and power, which leaves him where he started: out in the cold. From adrenaline-charged start to explosive finish, Killer View is heart-stopping suspense at its very best. Goodread 3.75., Thorndike Press, 2008, 0, New York: Grand Central Publishing, 2013.
