A Patchwork of Pink

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

At the age of sixty-nine, author Bev Arnold realized a long-secreted childhood dream. She released her debut country music CD, Never too Late. Just months later, she found herself sitting in a doctor’s office receiving a breast cancer diagnosis. In A Patchwork of Pink, Arnold narrates her life story, focusing on her cancer journey. At first, the diagnosis was a bothersome intrusion into her current excitingly fulfilling life. But throughout the ensuing months, this initial response was replaced by a deepening pernicious despondency, as she felt her life changing. She watched her evaporating dreams, hopes, and musical aspirations being replaced by visions of a desolate, obfuscate future. Arnold tells how it was an experience that intruded on and disrupted every aspect of the world she had taken for granted. With her emotional response to cancer treatment infinitely more harmful than the physical, A Patchwork of Pink illustrates how her love for, and involvement with, the local wildlife provided her with often hilarious, sometimes tragic interactions, offering a stabilizing anchor to her emotional turmoil.

Too Soon Old

Too Late Smart

By: Bev Christensen

Now in her nineties, a woman reflects on the seminal decision she made, to flee an abusive husband in Vancouver and take her little boy to live with her on the remote, northern farm that her late parents had created from the wilderness. As she adjusts to the harsher rural life, she finds deep reserves of strength and tenacity and discovers how her rural friends and neighbors support each other’s survival in their wild and often treacherous surroundings. And she even begins to find love again...that is, until her raging husband tracks her down and she’s faced with an escalating danger. With beautiful, sensory writing and a deft sense of humour and adventure, author Bev Christensen vividly evokes the world of rural life in northern B.C. in the 1950s and presents a compelling heroine with indomitable pioneer spirit in her DNA.

Stephen King

A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences

By: Bev Vincent

Take an intimate tour through the life and works of Stephen King, made vivid with rare photos and ephemera from King’s personal collection. Even if you are a die-hard fan, you will find something new in this beautifully packaged Stephen King reference that you will return to again and again. Timed to celebrate Stephen King’s 75th birthday on September 21, 2022, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences reveals the inspiration behind the prolific author’s brilliant works of horror through a combination of photos and documents from King’s archives and an engaging account of the stories behind how his novels, novellas, short stories, and adaptations came to be. It might sound like a tall tale that Stephen King once met a bartender named Grady in an empty hotel in Colorado, or that the celebrated author helped his young daughter bury her cat in a nearby “pets sematary” after it was killed on a busy roadway. In this book, discover how King drew on these and more real personal experiences and mundane life events, then employed his extraordinary imagination to twist them into something horrific. From impoverished university student to struggling schoolteacher to one of the best-selling—and most recognizable—authors of all time, this engrossing book reveals the evolution and influences of Stephen King’s body of work over his nearly 50-year career, and how the themes of his writing reflect the changing times and events within his life. An expansion of Stephen King expert Bev Vincent’s The Stephen King Illustrated Companion, this fully revised, redesigned, and updated book includes: A review of King’s complete body of work, including Fairy Tale, published in September 2022. A wealth of rare memorabilia from King’s own collection, including personal and professional correspondences, handwritten manuscript pages, book covers, movie stills, and never-before-seen excerpts from one of his poems and an unpublished short story. Interludes on specific topics such as real-life settings that inspired King’s writing, the editor who discovered him, his life as a Boston Red Sox fan, and the many awards and honors he has received. Insightful quotes from King from interviews over the decades. Celebrate the beloved King of Horror with this informational and entertaining look inside King’s most iconic titles and the culture they have created.

History of Income Tax

the Development of Income Tax from its beginning in 1799 to the present day related to the social, economic and political history of the period

By: b.e.v Sabine

This classic book tells the story of the development of Income Tax from its beginning in 1799 to the present day and relates it to the social, economic and political history of the period. There have been studies of Income Tax at various stages in its growth; studies of finance and taxation in general in which Income Tax has been closely concerned; studies too of some of the Chancellors of the Exchequer who have made significant contributions to the Income Tax system; but this is the first time an attempt has been made to encompass the whole 160 years or so of its life in one volume. And a fascinating story it is too when set in perspective. The author shows how Income Tax was introduced to finance the Napoleonic Wars, how it was revived by Peel to pay for Free Trade, and how it underwrote Victorian prosperity and confidence. He then describes its immense expansion through two World Wars to its present position as a dominant feature of British finance. This book was first published in 1966.

Flight or Fright

17 Turbulent Tales

By: Stephen King,Bev Vincent

#1 New York Times bestselling author and master of horror Stephen King teams up with Bev Vincent of Cemetery Dance to present a terrifying collection of sixteen short stories (and one poem) that tap into one of King’s greatest fears—air travel—featuring brand-new stories by King and Joe Hill, “an expertly compiled collection of tales that entertain and scare” (Booklist). Stephen King hates to fly, and he and co-editor Bev Vincent would like to share their fear of flying with you. Welcome to Flight or Fright, an anthology about all the things that can go horribly wrong when you’re suspended six miles in the air, hurtling through space at more than 500 mph, and sealed up in a metal tube (like—gulp!—a coffin) with hundreds of strangers. Here are all the ways your trip into the friendly skies can turn into a nightmare, including some we’ll bet you’ve never thought of before... but now you will the next time you walk down the jetway and place your fate in the hands of a total stranger. Featuring brand-new “standouts” (Publishers Weekly) by Joe Hill and Stephen King, as well as fourteen classic tales and one poem from the likes of Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, Dan Simmons, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and many others, Flight or Fright is, as King says, “ideal airplane reading, especially on stormy descents…Even if you are safe on the ground, you might want to buckle up nice and tight.” Each story is introduced by Stephen King and all will have you thinking twice about how you want to reach your final destination.

Gendered Universities in Globalized Economies

Power, Careers, and Sacrifices

By: Jan Currie,Bev Thiele,Patricia Harris

Gendered Universities in Globalized Economies combines the best in theoretical analysis and practical research in an insightful survey of the organizational culture of the university in today's globalized world. Currie, Thiele, and Harris's qualitative research--narrating the views of academics, general staff, and managers of American and Australian universities--examines the gendered power structure of university life. Gendered Universities describes the corporatized university from the inside, showing how neoliberal globalization has forced it to become more competitive, aggressive, and entrepreneurial. The authors consider why universities seem to preserve patriarchal cultures despite pervasive equal opportunity legislation and feminist activism on campus. This important study is a must read for education, gender, and policy studies scholars seeking a deeper understanding of globalization and the impact of the "new managerialism" on equity issues.

Lively Tales from Papua New Guinea

By: Bev Floyd

My main purpose in writing this account is to preserve a record of the experiences many Australian ‘expats’ like myself were privileged to have during their time in Papua New Guinea. These experiences formed us and shaped our future lives. Another reason for writing Lively Tales is to create a brief history of the country known as Papua New Guinea. With the availability of the internet this may seem redundant. However, I have woven into this small account some of the historical issues that were of interest to me while I lived in PNG and perhaps in their concise form they may prove useful to anyone wanting all the information in one place. I have used Wikipedia extensively to create a background for my own story. Where possible I have double-checked the information to make sure it is reliable. I have also corresponded with Wikimedia to request their policy on quoting from the various articles. Part of their reply is as follows: ‘In principle, all text in Wikipedia is subject to the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA) andmay be used free of charge for any purpose.’ My own story which seemed fairly ordinary at the time now appears, even to me, to illustrate an era of Australia’s history that was quite exemplary. True, we were colonists. We were not perfect either as individuals or as administrators, but on the whole we succeeded in bringing an end to our responsibilities in PNG in good time and with good will. It was an historic era and Australia played its part fairly well. We ‘expats’ gave our best for the country we grew to love. We left a part of our hearts there. So, I would like to dedicate this small book to the memory of the people I met in PNG and the country I learned to love.

Because she has only one year to prove to her dishy nemesis, Jake Roth, that she's creative, edgy and quite possibly the most fascinating woman on the planet.
