Anne Marie
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal." -taken from God's Little Instruction Book II, Special Gift Edition, l994, Honor Books, Inc, Tulsa, Ok 74155. "Anne Marie" is the life story of a once very innocent black child, who, with great determination, struggles to become a successful businesswoman, college graduate, lover, family member, friend, and Christ-like person. The story begins in a small town just after World War II, and is viewed through the eyes of Ant Boo (Billie Forman)-a loving friend of Anne Marie and one of the main characters in the book. The tale also charts the life of two same-gender-loving males, a wise and witty black woman, a pride-filled community, and new insights. Anne Marie also cites individuals who are sexually abused, religious hypocrisy, souls motivated to succeed, victims of jealous behavior, sufferers of betrayal, victims of lost love, and other familiar and not-so-familiar human feelings.

Anne-Marie ...a Child of God
Anne-Marie ...a Child of God - She was here for a short time only, leaving a legacy of wondrous and faithbuilding experiences from before conception to beyond death - even in the face of her heart problems. This account of her life is enriched with Scripture quotes and comes with an implicit invitation to respond... "I have never read anything so clear and so beautiful in its simplicity... It moves me to tears ... I have never read the Bible, but you have brought me closer." (Sue Fownes)
Damaged Goods
When Detective Inspector Ray Graham an attractive divorcee in his late thirties look out of his office window on a dreary, wet spring morning he is feeling disillusioned with his job. His side-kick Detective Sergeant Lisa Cambridge, a six foot tall lesbian who is good looking, intelligent and has a heart of gold, even if she is quite often out-spoken and slightly uncouth, does her best to cheer him up and give him friendly advice. The office phone rings and they both embark on a case not only shocking and at times gruesome, but also a fortnight that will put their professional relationship and personal friendship to the test. A book to become absorbed in, true to life, full of real characters to relate to. Sometimes sad, sometimes with humour and sometimes with disgust. It is hoped that the reader will enjoy getting to know these characters as well as becoming intrigued with the mystery that they are investigating.
A New World Order
Global governance is here--but not where most people think. This book presents the far-reaching argument that not only should we have a new world order but that we already do. Anne-Marie Slaughter asks us to completely rethink how we view the political world. It's not a collection of nation states that communicate through presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers, and the United Nations. Nor is it a clique of NGOs. It is governance through a complex global web of "government networks." Slaughter provides the most compelling and authoritative description to date of a world in which government officials--police investigators, financial regulators, even judges and legislators--exchange inf...
Josephine's Secrets
In this story, Anne-Marie Quinn collects the memories of her young life into a memoir of beating the odds of a poor childhood in 1960's England in order to escape to the United States as a young woman. Anne-Marie Quinn was born and raised at the beginning of a lasting civil war between the Protestants and Catholics in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Despite the environmental clashes that surrounded her, she remembered a pleasant and fulfilled childhood among family until an unforeseen split between her parents caused her mother, Josephine, to unlawfully kidnap her and one other child to England. At only nine years old, Anne-Marie subsisted through the idea of a new family and step-father, the eve...

Anne-Marie the Beauty
Another thought-provoking master class in how we perform life by the award-winning novelist and playwright Yasmina Reza. "I was bored with my husband," says Anne-Marie, the irrepressible voice of Anne-Marie la Beauté, "but you know, boredom is part of love." Mostly she is speaking here of her more famous friend and colleague, the French actress Giselle Fayolle, in whose shadow she has spent her career. "My life was a near miss," she adds, before explaining that she enunciated well because "I loved to say the words." A very short novel with the power and resonance of a much longer one, Anne-Marie the Beauty is a profound and moving act of remembrance, a clear-eyed assessment of the hard-edged nature of fame, a meditation on aging--and a wonderfully observant and comic exploration of human foibles. In short, another thought-provoking master class in how we perform life by the peerless Yasmina Reza.
