Check back for updates and release information.ĬLICK HERE TO BUY MY BROTHER’S LOVER NOW! With Arctic Absolution and Song of the Lonesome Cowboy being released, this story will now have my focus and will be coming out next. UPDATE 12/2/14: Double Heat: Twin Ties 3 is being edited. Sarah Miller's Miss Spitfire: Reaching Helen Keller basically tells the same story as portrayed in The Miracle Worker (how Annie Sullivan is able to open Helen Keller's sightless and soundless world to language, to communication and personal interaction), but it is a biographical novel told from Annie Sullivan's perspective, in her voice. "Helen Keller's story has always fascinated me, and I have seen most of the movie versions of William Gibson's play The Miracle Worker more than once. Anne quickly learned, along with Helen, that words are a miracle. Arriving at Ivy Green in 1887, Anne was a partially blind orphan who had been tasked with teaching the difficult blind, deaf, and mute girl to communicate. Sarah Miller's accomplished debut presents a fictionalized account of Anne Sullivan's life and her time as Helen Keller's teacher. We distract ourselves from thinking about it by discussing the high price of fighting crime, or we bitterly debate the efficacy of helping others by means of expensive social programs. No mind, because we rarely see these people, do we? Wrong. We aren’t experiencing a mass incarceration crisis, this is a hyper incarceration crisis. In thirty years, our prison population has quintupled. Another 4.8 million are under parole supervision or probation. About 2.24 million people in this country are now being held in federal and state prisons or local jails-more than one-quarter of the world’s total of eight million prisoners. Meanwhile, millions of young men and women graduate from the streets and matriculate to prison rather than to college. The great issues of poverty, race, civil rights, exploitedworkers, or access to quality public education seem abandoned. It seems political debate has become more and more preoccupied with power maintenance, with few real solutions ever contemplated,let alone offered. With each letter I thought more about our broken systems of incarceration and our collective lack of political will to change something that is deeply flawed. After the publication of my first book, Letters to a Young Brother, I began receiving an increasing number of moving letters from inmates who had read it. Perhaps the most famous example of this in the series comes in one of its later episodes where Stirling and Paddy Mayne, another SAS co-founder and highly regarded boxer and rugby player are dropped behind enemy lines, where they destroy a series of Nazi airstrips and fighter planes. Knight recently said at an event to launch the series that to make the show appear more realistic he had to tone down real-life events "so many times". Though not occurring in North Africa as it does in the series, Sadler has said that Stirling, to obtain a table at a Paris bar already in use by some patrons, threw a real hand grenade to clear out the place. Though not in the book (by Damian Lewis) on which the series is based, Mike Sadler, who at the grand old age of 102 is the last living founding member of the SAS, says a far more extreme thing happened in real life (via The Telegraph). Take for example, the scene where Stirling clears out a bar by throwing a dummy grenade onto a snooker table – it's tame compared to the real version. Sex Ed star in new trailer for SAS Rogue Heroes.
