Revenge is Mine and Inheritance of Clues !

Standing at the side of the grave site, Temple looked up. The day was cloudy, cold, and wet. The gray clouds had darkened the sky; rain was coming down in a mist at the moment, but earlier that day it had been pouring. There was not even a little opening in the clouds to let a sliver of sunshine shine through on them.

Bagpipes played as the casket was brought to the grave site. The honor guard stood to the side, waiting to hear their order: “READY, AIM, FIRE! READY, AIM, FIRE! READY, AIM, FIRE!” Then the bugler played “Taps.” This was the day that he had to see his best buddy, Bert, get buried.
For Temple Harrison, those words were the last thing he heard and the only thing that he kept on hearing. The rest of that day went by in a blur. He didn’t remember getting back into the car after the service. He didn’t remember going back to the house. He didn’t even remember finding a chair in the corner and soaking up his sorrow by drinking, and he sure as hell didn’t remember how he got home. Did anyone talk to him? He couldn’t tell you. Did he answer them? This he couldn’t tell you either. Did he eat anything? If so, he didn’t remember what he ate. This went on like that for the next few weeks.
“This is Detective Temple, how can I help you?”
“Well, about time you got back to work, I was beginning to think that you were going to be grieving for your friend for the rest of your life. I think that is very touching.”
“Who is this?”
“I would say I’m your worst nightmare, Detective.”

Story Time with Jane Sutcliffe, author of "Will's Words"

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

Independent Bookstore Day

Saturday, April 30

Title:

Story Time with Jane Sutcliffe, author of "Will's Words"

When:

Saturday, April 30, 2016 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Where:

Brown Bookstore
244 Thayer Street

Description:

Join us for a special story time with local author Jane Sutcliffe as she reads "Will's Words: How William Shakespeare Changed the Way We Talk". Then be sure to visit the special exhibit of Shakespeare's First Folio at the Granoff Center next door.

When Jane Sutcliffe sets out to write a book about William Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre, in her own words, she runs into a problem: Will's words keep popping up all over the place! What's an author to do? After all, Will is responsible for such familiar phrases as "what's done is done" and "too much of a good thing." He even helped turn "household words" into household words.

But, Jane embraces her dilemma, writing about Shakespeare, his plays, and his famous phrases with glee. After all, what better words are there to use to write about the greatest writer in the English language than his very own? As readers will discover, "the long and the short of it" is this: Will changed the English language forever.

Backmatter includes an author’s note, a bibliography, and a timeline.

Jane Sutcliffe is author of "Stone Giant: Michelangelo’s David and How He Came to Be", and more than two dozen other books for children.

Tentatively Scheduled for 9:35am Author Burt Jagolinzer will discuss ' Round Newport"

Burt Jagolinzer has attended all 59 Newport Jazz Festivals -- the only person other than the festival's renowned founder and producer who can make such an astonishing claim. And through these years, he has amassed an extraordinary collection of stories that recall personal moments with jazz legends -- from Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong to Harry Connick, Jr. and Tony Bennett.

Told here for the first time, Burt's stories are a must read for any fan of great jazz.
