Russia bans author Jeffery Archer novel about KGB assassination

Jeffrey Archer



Author and former British MP Jeffrey Archer's novel 'Heads You Win' has been banned in Russia.


The author's latest novel was turned down by 21 publishers in the Eastern Europe country as the book depicts a KGB assassination and a ruthless Kremlin regime. 

The author has equally been warned by political friends to hire bodyguards while he promotes the book. 

The turn down didn't come as a surprise as Russia is strict with issues relating to their leadership. The author translated 16 of his previous releases to Russian language for his Russian readers. 

The novel Heads You Win was released in Britain last week and it talks about Alexander Karpenko, the protagonist who goes Russia following the assassination of his father. But returns back to confront what he ran away from. 

Jeffery Archer has sold more than 330 million books in over 95 countries since his first publication.

Author Tracey Rees speaks on being single at 40s

Author Tracey Rees speaks on being single at 40s!




I am romantic in the heart. I've always been a girl that always wanted true love. So far, I have not found it. At different times in my life I felt different from this fact. There were times when I felt rather disconsolate that my dearest dream had not come true for me. Other times I felt rather cynical: "Anyway, I'm better alone!" And in others I told myself that my expectations are too high.

Patience is something that I have always fought with and I continue to do. One of the reasons, I'm sure, behind my accelerated flight in novels that clearly would never work was my desire to find my soul mate. But this of all things is what can not be hurried, forced or produced in any way. Someone so far, someone to spend time with. This can be found very easily, I learned. But that special connection, someone who will enrich your life instead of bothering you or putting you in danger, is infinitely elusive.

There are a million great things about being single at my age. I am completely free: travel, see my friends, immerse myself in the work I love, do crazy things like musical theater courses on a whim ... My life is still full of love because I have fantastic friends, wonderful parents, the dog next door. .. But, of course, I know (to be in a decidedly non-cynical phase at this moment) that having that special person brings all kinds of wealth to a life that I can not have on my own. However, after having had so many bad relationships over the years, I know one thing with all my heart: it is better to be alone than with the wrong person.

While a right relationship is a joy and a blessing, an incorrect relationship undermines your confidence, drains your energy and blocks other good things from entering your life. We all have our ideas about time; What we want to happen and when. If I had the option, when I was younger, I would never have chosen to be single at this age. But when I was younger, I did not know what I know now. Thanks to Mr. (very) delayed appearance of Mr. Right in my life, I had the opportunity to explore different careers on the road to find the career of my dreams. I had the opportunity to get used to the intense and attractive process of writing a novel per year without guilt or distraction. I experienced the satisfaction and pride of buying my house, all on my own, without the help of anyone. And I gained strength and resources because I had to do it. These are all the gifts for which I am grateful.

But the best of being single at this age? Everything is still before me. Sometimes I still feel like a teenager, knowing that everything is possible. I have not solved it. I have not compromised my dreams. I'm not busy with the wrong person. Nothing is closed for me. The better my life is, the more important it is to find someone who values ​​it, who does not interfere with it. I knew myself better than I did when I was younger; I have developed in many ways. Although I have not always felt that way, now I know that things really happen when they are meant to. So, instead of worrying, I'm embracing the way I'll be ready to embrace true love when it arrives.

Review

Rapid Falls is an ingenious thriller cleverly disguised as a straightforward story about two sisters coping with the aftermath of a tragedy. Just when I’d thought I’d figured it out, the novel twisted into something entirely different, leading to an ending worthy of Alfred Hitchcock. You aren’t going to want to miss this remarkable novel.” —Karen McQuestion, bestselling author of Hello Love
Rapid Falls flips the script of the family saga of tough love and simmering resentments so hard and fast I think I got vertigo. Dark, delicious, and utterly subversive…I leave you with a warning: this one packs a wallop.” —Emily Carpenter, author of Every Single Secret
“Blood is thicker than water, but in Rapid Falls, both are fraught with danger. Sibling rivalry, obsessive first love, and a tragedy that haunts a family: the suspense had me hooked, desperate to see what secrets would surface. But that’s the trouble with sisters—how can you hide a dark heart from the person who knows you best?” —Jo Furniss, bestselling author of All the Little Children and The Trailing Spouse
“In this smart, riveting thriller reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith’s works, a dark alchemy of family secrets and sibling rivalry spins ever more wildly toward a shocking, diabolical ending. I couldn’t put it down!” —A. J. Banner, USA Today bestselling author of The Twilight Wife
“In Rapid Falls, two sisters are haunted by a prom night tragedy. One’s life is spiraling out of control and one seems intact. But appearances can be deceiving. Cowie brings her readers to the edge of a cliff and then dares them to dive off—right into the rough and tumble that is Rapid Falls. Twisty and gripping.” —Catherine McKenzie, bestselling author of Fractured and The Good Liar
“In Rapid Falls, everyone is the good guy in their own story. Like a spider spinning a web, Ms. Cowie skillfully takes this notion and elevates it to a fantastically dark and dizzying place. Say goodbye to any preconceived ideas about sisterhood, the power of grudges, or happily ever after, because this book will sweep them away and leave you gasping for more.” — Eliza Maxwell, bestselling author of The Unremembered Girl
“Hypnotic and darkly twisted, Rapid Falls is the true definition of a page-turner. It’s so compelling that you will not want to put it down. Cowie’s smart storytelling and mesmerizing prose paints a stunning debut, making it one of my favorite psychological thrillers of the year.” —Kerry Lonsdale, Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journalbestselling author
Rapid Falls is a deeply seductive psychological thriller about two sisters and the secrets they struggle to keep as their lives—and their lies—begin to unravel.” —Sheena Kamal, bestselling author of The Lost Ones
“Amber Cowie conjures up the pressures of living in a small town where everyone thinks they know your business so evocatively that I kept turning round to see who was watching me. A great read.” —Imogen Clark, author of Postcards from a Stranger
“Years after a tragic car accident, a young woman’s ‘perfect’ life unravels one stunning revelation at a time as the events of that fateful night come back to haunt her. Amber Cowie’s gut-wrenching thriller sends you reeling through drunken bonfires, small-town intrigues, and family secrets as a single betrayal alters the course for everyone involved. A page-turner from start to finish; you can’t look away until the jaw-dropping conclusion.” —D.M. Pulley, bestselling author of The Buried Book

Egypt releases author and his publisher after a week of arrest


Egypt have released an economist and his publisher more than a week after their verdict on a book that questioned the economic policies of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. 

Abdel-Khaleq Farouq said a court ordered his release, along with publisher Ibrahim el-Khateib, in anticipation of an investigation into charges of publishing "false information". 

Both were arrested on October 21st. The book claims that al-Sisi has no vision to remedy the economic misery of Egypt, which since 1952, Farouq has accused the monopoly of the power of the army. 

Egypt has been carrying out a major crackdown on dissidents since 2013, when al-Sisi had led the overthrow of an elected but divided Islamist president.

Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis

Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis



 
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. 

"You will not read a more important book about America this year."—The Economist
"A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal
"Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times

Former graduate of the Faculty of Jurisprudence and Marina Yale the story is an excellent example of growth in a poor country City Rust Belt, which offers a broader and deeper understanding of the struggles of the American white working class. 

Hillbilly Elegy is a personal analysis about a culture in crisis, that of the white Americans working class. The decline of this group, a demographic group of our country that has slowly disintegrated over the past forty years, has been reported with increasing and alarming frequency, but never before had it been written so painfully. In the book, J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional and class decline is when born with the neck problem. 

The history of the Vance family begins, hopefully, in post-war America. J. D. grandparents were "very poor and in love" and moved north from the Appalachian region of Kentucky to Ohio, hoping to escape the terrible poverty that surrounds them. They raised a bourgeois family and their nephew (the author) eventually graduated from Yale Law School, a classic indicator of his success in achieving generational upward mobility. 

But as the Hillbilly Elegy family saga shows, we learn that this is only a short and superficial version. His grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister and especially his mother Vance fought the demands of his new life in the middle class and could never completely escape the legacy of abuse. Alcoholism, poverty and trauma. Feature of your part of America. Vance shows surprisingly how he always leads demons from his chaotic family history. 

A moving memory with his humor and colorful characters, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of true mobility. And it is an urgent and worrying meditation on the loss of the American dream for much of this country.
