The Life and Times of Doreen Roberts
96-year-old Doreen Roberts is the oldest resident of Bouldon, a hamlet of fourteen houses and a dairy farm at the foot of the Brown Clee in Shropshire. Born in Brighton in 1926, she grew up in London, Birmingham, Guernsey and Weston-super-Mare. She came from a theatrical family but, not having a singing voice like her mother and grandmother, had drawing talent. She studied part-time at the Central London Art School and worked in a book shop and Rowney's art supplies factory before getting seasonal work at Glyndebourne Opera House in Sussex. She later worked full time in the wig room at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden before giving up to marry Norman Roberts, a canal boat builder in Birmingham. They retired to live a quiet secluded life in 1984 where she joined the Corvedale Artists and, over the years, exhibited many of her drawings and watercolours.

Managing Art
Arts Management is anything but a mere amalgamation of the world of the arts and the world of business management; it is the confrontation of two opposing methodologies, one being a field of human creativity that produces something new that did not exist before, the other one diving into the existing world of business practices, in order to improve their efficiency. Some references to (cultural) philosophy, (economic and arts) history and other important subjects are indispensable or at least helpful in understanding the chances and risks of arts management practices. This is the aim of this book, which is based on more than twenty years of teaching, researching, and consulting in the field of cultural administration and arts management.
ONE BRIDE: BABY INCLUDED
George Bentley had mastered the art of negotiation, so he recognized his mother’s "favor-for-a-friend" plea for what it was: matchmaking. Worse, the favor wasAmy Richards, a girl who’d been oil to his water once. Now, to his shock, George found himself wanting to spend 24/7 with the spirited beauty instead of on business—especially when he learned why she’d unexpectedly relocated. Amy was expecting.

With Amy, George had bride and baby all lined up. Now all they needed was love….
