They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial.

The most valuable part about On Writing Well is that it strongly promotes simplicity and keeping things clear and concise. The book’s currently on its ’30th Anniversary Edition’, which suggests Zinsser’s doing something right. Yes, I’m almost embarrassed to say it was that long ago. Ahh, word processors, those new-fangled things on them fancy computers. ![]() It even had a helpful section called ‘Writing – and rewriting – with a Word Processor’. ![]() My first copy was the ‘Third Edition: Revised and Enlarged’ edition, and it’s somewhat dog-eared now from so many years of use and being leant out. I first came across this book just after I became interested in writing fiction, and it’s one of the best books on writing I’ve ever found. ![]() Nayyirah waheed salt poems6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() She released the collection for free, temporarily, on Kindle, along with re-releasing her two previous novels “salt” (2013) and “Nejma” (2014) also for free.

In fact throughout these books, Hill’s broad empathy and imagination take us into the minds of victims and criminals, cops and bystanders. ![]() Pay close attention to the way Hill uses her points of view: we get liberal doses of Freya here, as she tracks down a nasty psychopath. This habit is threatened by his gifted and attractive new subordinate, DS Freya Graffham. His bad behavior isn’t quite so obvious in The Various Haunts of Men but this is a fellow who’s an expert at compartmentalization. (The first being The Pure in Heart.) So I guess he’s got an excuse. But, hey, he’s coping with a serial child-murderer whom it took him two whole books to snag. In fact at the end of The Risk of Darkness, which I just finished, we find Simon coming close to boorishness, and rescued only by his resolute introversion.
