But after fifty years of marriage, they’ve finally sold their famed tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. They’re killers on the tennis court, and off it their chemistry is palpable. The parents, Stan and Joy, are the envy of all of their friends. The Delaneys are fixtures in their community.

John Pearson explores the strange relationship that bound the twins together, and charts their gruesome career to their downfall and imprisonment for life in 1969. Building an empire of organised crime such as nobody has done before or since, the brothers swindled, intimidated, terrorised, extorted and brutally murdered. Reggie and Ronald Kray ruled London’s gangland during the 1960s with a ruthlessness and viciousness that shocks even now.

"If you don't have a personal connection to the actual area, the location, or the workforce, or the people that travel back and forth and work there, then it's harder to have an understanding of day-to-day life there," Beaton said in a phone interview from her home in Cape Breton. Those making the move now, some 15-plus years after the comics artist worked in Fort McMurray, have more information about the industry thanks to social media, she said. When Kate Beaton migrated west to work in Alberta's oilsands, she didn't know what to expect - other than a job that would allow her to pay down her student loans. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Juniper Wiles by Charles de LintDe Lint also manages to keep each new Newford story fresh and captivating because he is so generous and loving in his depiction of the characters.

And Sarah MacLean is one of those authors. I’m an avid reader of historical romances, forever drawn to a world where dashing rogues fall head over heels in love with intrepid damsels, but few authors continue to amaze me with the way they engage so purposefully with female identity, body norms, and sexuality in their stories, rather than merely accept the traditionally accepted. and neither of them sees that if they’re not careful, they’ll have no choice but to give up everything.
