The Chapin Family collection consists primarily of legal documents, land deeds, bills and receipts, inventories, and some correspondence to and from the Chapin family. The collection, which occupies 3.5 linear feet of shelf space, contains documents beginning in 1676 and continues through 1915 with the greatest concentration in the 18th and early 19th century. While the collection is concerned primarily with the Chapin family, it does contain several non-Chapin names that were included within the Chapin collection.
The collection is organized into the following groups:
(1) Chapin family members, which are organized alphabetically by first name;
(2) miscellaneous Chapin family documents, filed in chronological order;
(3) Chapin-Cooley material (which are records concerned with the South Hadley Canal); (4) Ariel Cooley material (seven files);
(5) the papers of non-Chapin individuals, which are alphabetized by last name; and
(6) oversized materials which contain documents too large for the standard collection.
Additional materials of Chester Wms. Chapin, Enoch Chapin and Josiah Chapin may be found in the Springfield Bound Volumes Collection.
The remainder of this guide contains individual biographies (listed in the same order as the collection is organized), descriptions of materials, and the container list for the collection.
Abel Chapin was born in 1700 and died in 1772. His grandson was a revolutionary commander of the 20th company of West Springfield (see Maj. Moses Chapin). The majority of papers are deeds that run from 1725-1771. His last will and testament (1772), was written only two months before his death. The remaining material is promissory notes, receipts and miscellaneous papers.
Colonel Abel Chapin was born in 1756 and died in 1831. He was the son of Captain Ephraim Chapin (1729-1805), and the brother of Captain Ephraim Chapin (1759-1806). He served in the French and Indian War, as well as Shays' Rebellion. In 1785, Colonel Chapin built a house on Chicopee Street where he fatted cows for the Bringham and New York market. The house still stands today.
The papers of Colonel Chapin consist of only five documents. The most impressive one is a declaration from the Massachusetts General Court announcing his selection as tax collector (1780). The rest of the documents include a promissory note (1793), receipt (1792), land surveys and deeds with no dates, and his last will and testament. (see also oversized materials, box 4)
Arthur Nash Chapin lived from 1850-1914. He was the son of Enoch Cooley Chapin. During his life, he was Street Commissioner and Tax Collector (of South Hadley ?). His papers include four documents concerning the estate of Julia Curtis (1905-1908). There are two land deeds (1874 and 1885), and an evaluation of Harriet Chapin's estate (n.d.) who was the wife of Enoch Cooley Chapin. (see also oversized materials, box 4)
Chester Williams Chapin was born in 1798, and died at age 85 in 1883. He was selectman in the 1840's, and also was the recipient of St. Gauden's statue "The Puritan."
Chester was an important businessman active in the transportation sector. In 1831, he started a steamboat operation that monopolized passage between Hartford and Springfield. In 1844, he sold the steamboat company and invested it in the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Co. He was chosen president of the Connecticut River Railroad Company in 1850.
The papers are mostly bills and receipts. There are two letters (1861 and 1862) from other employees of the New York and New Haven Railroad Co. There are also two letters concerning the stocks of the company (1851 and 1853). (see also oversized materials, box 4 and Springfield Bound Volumes Collection.)
Dormer Chapin was born in 1781 and died in 1870. He was the son of Phineas and Sabrina (Wright) Chapin. He was a town selectman. All fourteen documents are land deeds from 1807-1835.
Deacon Enoch Chapin was born in 1784 and died in 1864. He married Lydia (Cooley) Chapin, who was the daughter of Ariel Cooley, and was first married to Gordon Chapin (see Gordon Chapin). Enoch and Ariel Cooley were business partners until Cooley's death in 1822. They were in charge of the operations on the South Hadley Canal (see Ariel Cooley and the South Hadley Canal). He was the father of Enoch Cooley Chapin (see Enoch Cooley Chapin).
The majority of the papers are receipts, promissory notes and bills of Deacon Chapin (1823-1828). A significant part of this folder is the correspondence, which contains seven letters in all. There are two letters Enoch wrote to his son's wife Harriet Chapin (4 June and 16 June 1859), letters to religious leaders William Tyler and S. Osgood (1831 and n.d.), and a letter from Ariel Cooley (1821).
There are also many papers concerning Deacon Chapin's wife Lydia. Her last will and testament is included (1850). There are many papers concerning her estate (1850-1855) and a document challenging her last will and testament by Mary Ann and Theodore Chapin, as well as a paper dealing with Lydia's inheritance from her father's estate (1822).
The remaining papers are a court summons for Enoch to appear in court (1829), a claim against Deacon Chapin for damages incurred on the South Hadley Canal (1826), a fire insurance policy (1834), and a business letter from S. Bunnell (n.d.).
Enoch Cooley Chapin was the son of Deacon Enoch Chapin and Lydia Cooley Chapin. He was born in 1812 and died in 1858. Judging from a letter written by his father Deacon Enoch, Enoch Cooley attended college in 1829. The letter doesn't state the institution. Enoch Cooley and his brother Ogden Nash had some type of business together (advertising bills, 1853). Enoch C. married Harriet Jenks Abbe, daughter of John Abbe.
There is a wide range of material on Enoch C. Chapin. The most interesting is a deed for land in Iowa that Enoch C. purchased. It was part of the Federal Government's Homestead Act, and was signed by Franklin Pierce (1855). There are documents concerning legal trouble between Enoch Cooley and Mary Ann Chapin. There is a summons to court (1855) and a deed (1853). Also included is a record of Enoch Cooley's share of his wife's estate.
Capt. Ephraim Chapin I lived from 1729 to 1805. He married Jemima Chapin and fathered eight children including Ephraim, Jr. (see Ephraim Chapin II). Ephraim Chapin was captain of a company in the French and Indian War, was at Ticonderoga in 1777, and was captain of a company of Col. Ruggles Woodbridge's regiment in 1778. He wife, Jemima, was famous for her role in Shays' Rebellion.
His files are joined with, and overlap with his son's (Ephraim, Jr.). Together their four files contain land deeds, plus a last will and testament. The material dates from 1753 to 1807.
Capt. Ephraim Chapin II was born in 1759 and died in 1806. He married Mary Smith of Granby. Of his seven children, three have files in the Chapin collection. There are Chester Wms. Chapin, Erastus Chapin, and Giles Smith Chapin.
Ephraim Chapin, Jr.'s files are together with his father, Ephraim, Sr. Together their four files contain almost entirely land deeds, plus a last will and testament. The material dates from 1753 to 1807.
Captain Erastus Chapin was born in 1783 and died in 1852. He was the son of Captain Ephraim Chapin, and grandson to Colonel Abel Chapin. Erastus was involved in coach lines between Springfield and Southbridge, MA, and Springfield, MA and Providence, R.I. In 1830 he moved to New York to establish a restaurant. He married Ulrica Chapin, daughter of Captain Phineas Chapin.
There are 13 manuscripts contained in this folder. Two of them are contracts forming partnerships and seven are land deeds.
George Chapin was born 1722 and died 1782. He married Thankful Sikes, and was father to 13 children. This file is shared with George's son, Solomon Chapin (see Solomon Chapin). His file consists mainly of transactions with his sons' Solomon and Daniel between the years 1756-1782. There are mainly deeds, as well as his last will and testament in his file.
Giles Smith Chapin, later known as Deacon Giles Chapin, was born in 1787 and died in 1865. His file is shared with his son, Giles S. Chapin, Jr. (see Giles S. Chapin, Jr.). As a farmer he raised and fatted cattle for market. A member of the board of selectmen of Springfield and Chicopee for several years, and a member of the legislature in 1851 from Chicopee. He served as delegate to the Ecclesiastical Council in 1863. He was married to Betsy Chapman of Ellington, CT, and was father to three sons and four daughters. His file, together with his son's, contain a mortgage deed and legal documents dating from 1814 to 1882.
Giles S. Chapin, Jr. shares the same file with his father, Giles Smith Chapin (see Giles Smith Chapin). He was born in 1821 and died in 1884 in Chicopee. He married Sarah Zama Severance of Chicopee. Their one son, Giles S. Chapin III, died on May 22, 1875 at age 17. Sarah would later marry Marshall Pease of Chicopee after the death of her first husband.
This file, shared with his father, contains mainly deeds and legal documents dating from 1814 to 1882. (see also oversized materials, box 4)
Harvey Chapin, later Colonel Harvey Chapin, was born 1787 and died 1877, four days short of 90. He married Hannah Chapin, daughter of Phineas and Sabrina Chapin (see Phineas Chapin II). He was postmaster of Springfield in the Tyler and Polk administrations, and a member of the Massachusetts Senate. He was a selectman, assessor, surveyor, deputy jailor of Hampden County, and colonel commanding the First Regiment, fourth division of the Massachusetts militia. His file consists mainly of eight deeds dating from 1821-1835.
Japhet Chapin was born in 1760 and died in 1822. Japhet was a farmer and lumber manufacturer. He also served in Captain Ephraim Chapin's company in 1778. There are ten papers in his folder. Nine of the documents are land deeds (1791-1812) and one is a probate record (1824).
John Chapin was born 1674 and died in 1759. He married Sarah Bridgeman of Northampton, and was father to eight children. He was in the expedition against Louisburg, Cape Breton, in 1745. His file consists of deeds, an inventory, and his last will and testament; and dates from 1722 to 1755.
Major Moses Chapin was born in 1762 and died in 1824. Major Chapin married Colonel Abel Chapin's sister Keiyee Chapin. Major Chapin served several terms in the General Court and held local offices in Springfield for twenty-five years. Papers included in the collection are letters from a Mr. Dwight (1787) and from Edward Pynchon (1813). There is also a book which Moses used to keep a record of taxes that he collected. The rest of the documents are deeds (1802-1817), receipts (1791-1821), estate papers (1825-1831), and a business agreement with Peter Donavan (1814).
Phineas Chapin I lived from 1715 to 1788. He married Bethiah Chapin and fathered six children including Phineas Chapin II (see Phineas Chapin II). His file contains deeds dating from 1753 to 1783.
Phineas Chapin II was born 1747 and died 1821. He married Sabrina Wright, and was father to twelve children including Phineas III (see Phineas Chapin III). He was very active and influential in public business. He was at Ticonderoga in 1777. His two files contain inventories, a last will and testament, and deeds dating from 1768 to 1821. Oversized materials contain his commission as Constable and Collector for Springfield.
Phineas Chapin III was born 1792 in Chicopee and died in 1857 in Clarksburg, W. VA. He was a graduate of Williams College. He studied and practiced law, was clerk of Harrison Co. court house, and an elder in the Presbyterian Church. His documents are few. They include deeds and legal documents from 1820 to 1834.
Solomon Chapin, who shares the file with his father George Chapin (see George Chapin), was born in 1751 and died in 1820. He married Vashti Chapin of West Springfield, and was father to five children. Included in his file are mainly transactions with his father George and brother Daniel dating from 1782 to 1808.
Chapin and Cooley represents the proprietors of the South Hadley Canal. The South Hadley Canal was one of the first major canals in the country. It was completed in 1795, and ran until 1862. The canal was built by the proprietors of the locks and canals on the Connecticut River. The original contract (1794), plus the contract to lower the floors of the locks by Ariel Cooley (1804), are contained in this folder.
This section contains four files of mainly bills and receipts. Other documents include one of the original land purchases (1794), a letter asking for payment of damages received on the canal (1826) and receipts of passage costs through the canal. (see oversized materials) (see also Deacon Enoch Chapin)
Lieutenant Ariel Cooley was born in 1756 and died in 1822. He was an engineer whose works include Fairmount Water Works in Philadelphia, and a dam on the James River in Pennsylvania. Locally he built and operated the South Hadley Canal (see Chapin and Cooley). It appears that Lt. Cooley had a business association with Deacon Enoch Chapin (see also Chapin and Cooley, and Deacon Enoch Chapin). It appears that they were the operators of the South Hadley Canal.
Lt. Cooley is well represented in the collection. An estimated 50 percent of the papers are deeds and contracts. Of these documents, almost all of them are for the sale of land. There is also a large number of bills and receipts. It is thought that these papers are from business transactions. In his miscellaneous folder, there are several interesting documents. One is the building of a dam on the James River (1819). Two documents are concerned with Lt. Cooley's purchases of two other companies (1815 and 1822). Finally, the last folder contains material on Lt. Cooley's estate. His files span from 1791 to 1831.
John Abbe was born in 1788 and died in 1862. He married Electa Chapin (her second marriage), and his daughter Harriet Jenks married Enoch Cooley Chapin. There are only a few papers in his folder. Three deeds (1816-1826) constitute most of the folder, plus an agreement of Abbe's heirs to his estate (1862), and a few miscellaneous papers.
Daniel Gillett, Jr. died in 1824 at age 42. He was wed in 1807 to Edith (last name unknown), and was father to three children. He was apparently connected with the South Hadley Canal in some way. Information on Daniel Gillett is very scarce. His two files contain several personal and business letters, as well as deeds and business documents spanning from 1815 to 1827.
John Otis Skeele was born in 1817 and died in 1871. He was the son of Otis and Kezia (Chapin) Skeele (see Otis Skeele). John remained a bachelor throughout his life. He was apparently involved with some type of school as there are several references to it in his writings. His collection consists of a single journal (unbound and in two folders) which is a thorough account of approximately five years of his life.
Otis Skeele was born in 1791 in Middle Hadden, Connecticut and died in 1870 in Willimansett, Massachusetts. He married Kezia Chapin, daughter of Moses and Kezia Chapin (see Maj. Moses Chapin). He was the son of Dr. Amos Skeele, an influential figure of his day. He fathered all of his five children from his first wife. His second marriage after Kezia's death was to Clarissa Fowler Otis in 1851.
His two files contain numerous deeds and legal documents as well as receipts, bills and inventories. There are also personal letters including one very touching letter to his son, John, in Chesapeake City, Maryland. His documents span from 1818 to 1865.

Seems to be a great tool! How can more be learned about the Misc. data? Trying to move my Chapin line from IL east to immigrant.
pvhn says:
There is a huge genealogy on the Chapin family, covering many generations of descendants. Try to find it in your library or online. Called the Chapin Book. You may find your line in it.
Virginia Smith Alexander says:
One of the best books on the Chapins is "The Chapin Genealogy, Descendants of Dea. Samuel Chapin Who Settled in Springfield, Mass. in 1642. Collected and Compiled by Orange Chapin, 1862." I am fortunate to have an original from my grandfather's library. But a reprint is available from the NEHGS, P4-S05535, $58.50. They also have several other Chapin genealogies. Call 1-888-296-3447.
The Lyman & Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History also has a copy for public use.
Thanks for this notice! .
Melanie Ferguson says:
Do you have any documentation on a JC Chapin in Holden Ma?
Hi, Melanie. There are an awful lot of Chapins out there, so I think I'd need more information. Is this a living person or deceased? what kind of info are you looking for? Do you know what "J.C." stands for? Why do you connect him with Holden, Mass.?
Where did you find my EM add? To date, no MA Chapin's known. My research begins in IL>OH.>NY, all data very shaky except for m. of Mary A ESSEX to WILLIAM T CHAPIN in Henderson Co, IL. I need HELP! I have much Chapin data to share, EM direct!
My name is Julie and I am a direct descended of Deacon Samuel Chapin who was the original member of this family to immigrate from England with his wife Cicely Penny. If you want to know more about this amazing family. Punch in Colton-Marshfield-Chapin. Than Colton-Marshfield-Chapin Kinnexions. It will take you to their notable cousins. Such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Elizabeth Taylor, ect. It will also take you back to England, France, Normandy, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, ect.
Katrina Smalley says:
OH MY! thank you so much for that 'mighty' tidbit of info, cant wait to read it. I just found this site this week and have already filled in blanks that eluded me on the 'other' site.
I am searching for archival material used by Gilbert Warren Chapin while compiling The Chapin Book, in hopes it was donated to a museum or archive. I have searched CT and now the Springfield area. Does the Chapin Family Association, publisher of the book, still exist? Is there an archive?
Hi, Sue.
Great question — which means I don't know the answer. I will gladly put your request out to the PVHN network and maybe someone will know where the Chapin notes are. If so, we'll be in touch!

Selected Poetry
Thanks for your interest in my work. My most recent book, a collection of short stories entitled "The Game Cafe: Stories of New York City in Covid Time," is available from Amazon or Mayapplepress.com. Information about all my other books can be found under the "All Books" tab. If you want to contact me, you are welcome to send me an email at elerman1@optonline.net
Description: The nine stories in The Game Cafe focus on people who live in New York City—or are traveling there—in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. These men and women include a security guard; a mother with a far-away daughter; a ham radio operator; two strangers playing a board game in a café; a woman driving from Los Angeles to Manhattan who makes a stop at a famous corner in Winslow, Arizona; an unemployed airport worker who has an unexpected reconciliation with his brother; and others. While the stories are primarily set in New York, they are also meant to explore how living in modern-day urban environments in the U.S. unalterably shapes the fate of people going through difficult times.

Best Bangkok temples on foot
Bangkok boasts some of Thailand's flashiest temples
By Andrew Bond
There's a certain exotic gaudiness to Bangkok that defies its reputation for traffic jams and go go bars. Among the high-rises, crowded malls and chaotic pavement markets lie some exceptional temples. These are the real stars of Bangkok's tourist show, gilded masterpieces that please the eye and keep the camera shutters firing away.
Although Bangkok is a mere 200 years old, it boasts one of the largest and most impressive concentrations of religious and cultural sites in the country. When the capital was moved here after the fall of Ayuthaya, successive rulers and kings – through the prosperous Siamese zenith of the 19th century – saw to it that the country had a grand centrepiece. The legacy is an eye-popping display of impressive landmarks.
Since much of it was developed prior to the city's massive mid-20th century expansion, many of the best temples can be visited on a walking tour around Rattanakosin Isle, northwest of the present CBD. Originally crisscrossed with canals, this sector was the seat of power and a handily defensible man-made island where the earliest settlements of the new capital were established. Even today the primary government sites are located in the low-rise broad-avenues of the leafy Dusit area to the north.
The Grand Palace is a sensible starting point, and contrary to the deception of loitering scammers, this major attraction is always open. It lies adjacent to the vast Sanam Luang ground and National Museum, and is the one must-see attraction of Bangkok. Get your camera ready for this one; it presents an astonishing collection of chedi spires and multi-tiered temple roofs ornately decorated and gilded for maximum impression. Inside you'll find the Temple of the Emerald Buddha - housing the kingdom's most revered religious icon. It's a sprawling complex with a collection of buildings of various architectural styles. More on the Grand Palace.
Wat Po is its southern neighbour, a five-minute walk down Thanon (street) Sanamchai, and is famous for its giant reclining Buddha and numerous chedi spires. There is also a famous massage school here. Interestingly this temple was constructed in the 16th century, pre-dating the city itself.
Wat Arun is one the city's oldest
From here wander down Thanon Thai Wang along Wat Po's northern flank and shortly you come to Tha Tien Pier where ferries frequently cross the Chao Phraya River to the startling spires ofWat Arun – the Temple of Dawn. It was here long before the capital was relocated and looks decidedly exotic, with its Khmer styled prangs. It's best viewed at dusk, all lit up with the setting sun behind it.
Return to Wat Po and the corner of Thanon Sanamchai, walking straight on along Thanon Charoen Krung through the old Indian sector of Phurat, turning left into Thanon Burapa. This leafy pair of streets passes a pretty park and the Hindu temple of the Saan Jao Phitsanu Vishnu shrine. Right opposite it is Wat Suthat, one of the most historically important temples of the area. The soaring walls of the main Ubosot have magnificent murals, and the curious collection of Mandarin statues outside add to the appeal. But the main reason to visit is the bizarre recently-restored Giant Swingoutside the grounds, once used during annual harvest ceremonies.
Note the numerous Sangha religious supply shops clustered here before proceeding along Thanon Bamrung Meuang. You're in the heart of the old city where life is seemingly unaffected by modern influences. Turn left into Thanon Chakkaphatdi and continuing toWat Saket. The temple itself is another fine example of Rattanakosin-Chaksi styled temple architecture, but the real treat is the Temple Mount behind it. Surprisingly, this was the highest point in the city until the 1960s. A curious note is that the 'mound' resulted from a collapsed former chedi which provided the elevated base for this fort like structure that stands 100 feet above the neighbourhood.
From here descend on the opposite side of Wat Saket, crossing the Banglamphu canal along the broad Ratchadamnoen Avenue, where you'll notice the unconventional Wat Ratchanatda. It's distinctively square, symmetrical shape and multiple spires sets itself apart from classical temple architecture in the area, and the site is noted for its amulet market. You'll find it fascinating to see locals bargaining and examining ancient amulets through magnifying glasses with huge amounts of money changing hands for these spiritually endowed artefacts.
There's a final, non-religious landmark within sight. The Art Deco Democracy Monument, in the middle of the avenue, was designed by an Italian and has been the rallying point for protest through some of the country's darkest and most traumatic political events.
By now you would have covered a few miles and will no doubt need a rest. It's not far to the famous Khao San Road, further up the avenue off to the right, and you'll find endless eateries and bars with excellent people watching.

Q: How to navigate to a path that is not declared in App.js I have a component that has a list of cars, and I am trying to navigate to a new page with the id of the car, for instance:
localhost:4000/cars/1223 and it will navigate to the new page. The only way that i know how to do this is register the route in the <Route /> and then to use <NavLink /> to navigate to that page, but I cannot register all the possible routes at App.js, so it must be a better way to do this. Also I am aware that i have to send the Id of the car so I can fetch the details of that car.
// App.js
<Container>
  <Switch>
    <Route exact path="/" component={CarList} />
    <Route exact path="/cars" component={CarList} />
    <Route exact path="/cars/:carId" />
  </Switch>
</Container>;

And the component is:
class CarItem extends React.Component {
  navigateToCarPage = () => {
    // here should navigate to car page
  };
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }
  render() {
    const { make, carPrice } = this.props;
    return (

 this.navigateToCarPage()}>

{make}

Price: {carPrice}

    );
  }
}
export default CarItem;

A: Not sure I understand your problem, but using NavLink this way should do it:
class CarItem extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const { make, carPrice, carId } = this.props;
    return (
    <NavLink to={`/cars/${carId}`}>

{make}

Price: {carPrice}

    </NavLink>
    );
  }
}
export default CarItem;

Assuming you have carId from your props.

Analytics for Android Wear makes it dead simple to send your data to any tool without having to learn, test or implement a new API every time.
All of our client libraries are open-source, so you can view Analytics for Android on Github, or check out our browser and server-side libraries too.
To get started with Analytics for Android Wear check out our quickstart guide which will help you install analytics tracking in your mobile app in just a few minutes. Once you've installed the SDK, read on for setting it up the wear part of your App. Please note that you can only use the Android SDK v2 or higher with wear, and that any Beta APIs below are subject to change.
Add the wear module to your phone and wear applications.
The entry point of the library is through the WearAnalytics class. We maintain a global default instance. Unlike the mobile SDK, this instance is not configurable, simply because it doesn't have it's own settings! It will proxy all the calls to the device, which will then call the analytics client on the phone. We'll show you how to customize the phone client.
In your AndroidManifest.xml, you'll need to register the PhoneAnalyticsListenerService service.
To customize the analytics client, you can subclass PhoneAnalyticsListenerService and override the getAnalytics() method. By default we use the singleton instance, but you can provide us with your custom instances. We recommend reusing the same instance in your phone app. Remember to register your subclassed service instead of ours. The getAnalytics() method is consulted for every call, so make sure you return the same instance each time.
The track method lets you record the actions your users perform, and record adiditonal properties the action.
You'll want to track an event whenever the user clicks, taps or submits something in your app. You can read more about how it works.
name String,required A name for the tracked action.
properties Properties,optional A map of properties for this action, e.g. revenue if the action was a purchase.
The screen method lets you record the screens your users view.
You'll want to record a screen event an event whenever the user opens a screen in your app. This could be a view, fragment, dialog or activity depending on your app. You can read more about how it works.
name String,optional* A name for the screen. Optional if category is provided.
category String,optional* A category for the screen. Optional if name is provided.
properties Properties,optional A map of properties for this screen.

Today's featured author is Tiffany Apan, author of "Decent" which is part of The Birthrite Series and will be featured in a special Halloween Go Indie Now! Box this October! I am in love with her work and her dark writing style, and I am sure that you will fall in love with them as well! Keep an eye out for her book and featured items in the box this October!
First off, thank you for featuring me and my work here!
I have been writing for quite some time and doing so for as long as I can remember. I was always coming up with stories, whether writing them down or having my toys re-enact them. I always loved stories, music lyrics, and poetry, but I didn't really have a turning point until my fifth grade English class. At that time, we got to learning of and studying the principles of poetry, so naturally writing a poem was one of the assignments in the class. Because I had an obsession with Norway and Vikings (and still kind of do), I wrote of a Viking sea adventure (when everyone else chose to write of a family member or pet…are there any other ten-year-olds out there obsessed with Vikings or was I the only one?). My English teacher said that I had a great talent for writing and encouraged me to continue from there.
That particular poem, among some of my others, did garner much praise from my English teachers and at times throughout the years, my writing was called 'ambitious.' Given the monstrosity of a series I'm currently writing, it looks as though that hasn't changed all that much!
It's a toss up between Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Bronte. While there are contemporary authors that I do enjoy, I am quite taken by our writers of yore. Poe is just brilliant to me.
With Emily Bronte, the fact that her work, Wuthering Heights, is often so misunderstood and misinterpreted fascinates me alone. I've also been reading a lot on her life, those of her sisters Anne and Charlotte, her brother Branwell, and her father Patrick. It is quite interesting finding out what inspired them to write as they did.
Also Tolkien. Because Tolkien reigns supreme.
I also enjoy H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Bram Stoker, Zane Grey, Rod Serling, Washington Irving, Oscar Wilde, Clive Barker, Mary Shelly, Anne Rice, Shirley Jackson, Charlotte Bronte, William Shakespeare, George Orwell, L. Frank Baum, Lewis Carroll, CS Lewis, Emily Dickinson, Kate Chopin, among others. Any author or writer that can tell a good story with vivid characters and a plot that makes you think (possibly even questioning your own sanity and the world around you) is more than okay by me!
All kinds. It depends on my mood, really. I love Horror, but I also love Romance, Historical Fiction, anything to do with the paranormal and supernatural, Gothic Fiction and authors of bygone eras (Poe, Lovecraft, Brontes, Austen, Grey, Shelly, Stoker). Even the horror from the 1800s is so beautiful and has much romance in the way it is written. And of course, I also enjoy historical fiction.
I'm also reading a lot of non-fiction (mostly history), especially with the amount of research that goes into most of my stories. It's never boring as I am constantly uncovering new territory.
I love dark (Gothic) fiction, because for me that is the genre that fully encompasses human strength and frailty. A lot of the Gothic Fiction I've read has shown some of the best depictions of the human experience. And that is the journey I enjoy going on when I write.
I tend to be a bit of a hermit when I write and for me it is a very solitary activity (with the exception of my characters, of course). But I have also been a part of anthologies, so I don't mind doing some collaborating either.
6) How did you get the idea for Descent?
How Descent (and The Birthrite Series in general) came about is a story in itself!
Back in late 2011/early 2012, I had a rather vivid dream that stayed with me and I found myself unable to let it go. The dream entailed me in deep conversation with a person that would later be a key character in The Birthrite Series. And it's interesting, because what was originally supposed to be a more fun and adventurous time travel romance under the working title Through Time eventually morphed into something completely different. In fact, NONE of the main characters from the first book in the series (Descent) where even a thought as I wrote the original draft and concept (which is odd since now I can't even imagine the story being without any of them!). But as I was writing Through Time, it just didn't feel right. Yes, the general idea was there and, yes, pretty solid but something was definitely missing.
At the time, I was also reading Stephen King's On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. In one passage, he compares writing a story to discovering a small fossil, and then continuing to dig until the whole dinosaur is uncovered. Sometimes it will seem as though you are shoveling nothing but crap, but eventually you will make the great discovery. For me, that is exactly how writing Descent was.
As time went on and I allowed the story to just develop naturally, more characters seemed to just "walk on," and characters I thought were just going to play minor roles ended up being major key characters. When this happened, it was a little scary but instead of fighting it, I allowed the characters a voice in their stories and ended up being pleasantly surprised with the results.
The story seemed to build upon itself, especially as I was doing more research to create the world in which the characters inhabit. It was then the story started going from being a fun adventurous romance to one that was still fun, adventurous and romantic, but darker and with a lot more mystery. Add to that my passion for history and the process of researching it and I was having a blast with it.
Because of the new direction the story was taking, the working title obviously had to change. Bloodlines was the new working title (which I knew would also eventually change since there already are so many projects out there with that title).
7) I absolutely love how the book deals with insanity. What made you want to delve deeper into this concept?
Thank you! It certainly seemed the natural way to go. As I was doing the research for the book and going through the characters, their backgrounds and journeys, I kept returning to the concept of sanity vs. insanity. I started delving deeper into the following questions: What makes a person 'sane' and who really dictates that? Is all that we see really what is around us or is it a mere illusion? Perhaps the one who is seen as the most insane is simply open to another reality that the rest of us are closed to.
It was a fascinating concept to delve into, and seemed appropriate for the characters and their journeys. It was also fun to invade the minds of my characters and really get into what made them the way they are.
8) How many books are you expecting to be in The Birthrite Series?
9) How long did it take you to write, and put together, Descent?
Well, as I said, the original idea came to me back in late 2011/early 2012 via a dream.
In early 2013, I was fleshing out what would be the official first draft. During that time I started posting chapters and excerpts of my WIP onto what is now my official blog as a way of gaining perspective on how much interest there might be in the story. Well, the interest seemed to be there, so in the midst of that little experiment, I started getting it print ready. I also knew by then that there was so much story that it would have to be a series.
Finally, I believe in early 2014 (or late 2013), I settled on the official series title, The Birthrite and decided to call the first book Descent. Then I decided to release a spin off novelette titled Sacred Atonement: A Novelette (The Birthrite Series, #1.5). In December 2014, the beginning of the series was officially available (softly launched as I wanted to be on the verge of releasing the second book before I started to really promote it), both digitally and in paperback format. So the book took about 3-4 years to write, including the research, writing, character and world building, and a lot of revising. When I look at the first draft of Descent now, it is exciting to see how much the story and characters have evolved. But like most first drafts, it's definitely rough!
The next two installments (a full-length novel titled Kindred and a novella called Saturn Sun) are set for release later this summer.
10) Even though your novel is labeled as occult horror, it also grapples with historical fiction. Did you do research before starting your series of the 1800s time period that you chose?
Sort of. Through Time actually didn't go that far back in history. It wasn't until the story started to evolve in a new way that I started a more in depth research, especially of certain key events that took place during the time periods. There was a time when I did take a break from writing and thew myself into research mode. That was when the characters' stories (particularly those of Nicolae, James, Jonathan, and Dorothy) really started taking shape, and it was a lot easier to write their stories and how they related to others after that. I was led down many rabbit holes in the process.
I was also starting to work for the Depreciation Lands Museum at them. It's a historical museum dedicated to bringing the 18th century to life. I will add that even with all the intense research I did for The Birthrite, working for this museum has given me even more access to sources that allow for a much deeper research. Those running the museum also take care to immerse the workers in all thing centuries old, including offering training in period tasks such as cooking over a campfire and hearth oven to drop spindle classes to weaving. Since The Birthrite Series delves deeper into history as the series continues (half of Descent, takes place in the mid 1800s and the latter half in 1931), I feel this will add new layers to the story and my writing in general.
As a side note, the more research I do, the more I am fascinated by how distorted many events and eras have become over time. Combine that with my love for Tolkien, Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, the Brontes, Wilde, and dark romantic stories, and you pretty much have my inspiration for the series.


For those of you who are still with me after the detour, apparently I should be seeing my blog in the light of 'building a community', a concept I am finding difficult to come to terms with. My original thought was merely that a few, like-minded people would be mildly interested in what I had to say, and so, at the moment, it is proving.
There are about ten of you out there reading regularly, mostly from Britain and America, as you'd expect, though there is someone in Germany who reads every post the same day. Someone from Malaysia looked in once, (how on earth did they come across it?) but obviously decided it wasn't for them, and someone from Russia looked in twice, or two people once, before also throwing in the towel.
Since I set the blog up, about a month ago, there have been 186 pageviews. I have no idea whether this is good or not. I am also not sure how people have found it, as it doesn't come up on any key-word search I have tried – something I am trying to address at the moment, although the very explanations are incomprehensible to me.
I am extremely un-technologically minded, as you will have gathered, and I am finding myself in, not only new, but rather bewildering territory. The reason there are no comments is that, in my alteration of all the preferences when I was setting up the blog, I turned off the ability for readers to do so. I felt that, until I had got to grips with this unfamiliar format, comments, and the need to respond to them, would just be even more confusing . For those of you who are experiencing the equivalent of shouting at the television, normal service will be resumed. At some point.

One time, in an airport abroad, I received a call from a blocked number; I never answer those... but I did, and it was Melanie Henley Hyne - calling out of the blue to ask me to work together with her on 33 Divas.
But what was it that I had gotten myself into? The Iron Curtain. The dark, towering Communist Stalin... Also, underpaid musicians, cheep recordings, and lots of fake reverb. That was my to-date impression of Eastern Europe.
And how incredibly naïve of me - The power of the place was awesome. Melanie was the most gracious host to these beautiful musicians. We just finished an incredible recording with one of the the most enthusiastic, warm, sophisticated orchestras I have ever recorded.

Turner's TBS and Conan O'Brien today announced an expanded partnership spanning television, digital, social and live events that will enable the late night icon to capitalize and interact with his multi-generational fan base across platforms. After 25 years on television and having amassed a deeply passionate and engaged fan base through the nightly show, travel specials, digital content, live events and fan interactions, Team Coco and TBS will take Conan's enduring brand of comedy to his fans wherever they are. The expansion of Team Coco will be advanced by Billy Parks who has been named to the newly created position of Chief Brand Officer for the joint venture.
The longest tenured host in late night television will continue to evolve and reinvent the genre with major shifts to both his late night show and the creation and expansion of a joint Team Coco enterprise with TBS. CONAN will continue to air four nights a week on TBS, and in 2019 will unveil a new, less structured 30-minute format that will have guests and a variety of segments drawn from the newly expanded Team Coco portfolio.
Team Coco's initial 360-degree expansion efforts will include an array of talent deals with stand-up comedians driven by live touring and original digital material. Kicking-off in late 2018, O'Brien and his curated team of comics will hit the road on a multi-city tour hosted by O'Brien himself. As the late night show that features the most standup comedians on television, CONAN and TBS will introduce the newest and brightest comedic talent worldwide on multiple platforms.
Team Coco will continue to develop industry-leading branded linear and digital content, further strengthening the relationships between O'Brien's comedic brand and advertising partners as new talent comes into the fold. The multi-platform hit franchise Clueless Gamer, which has been home to dozens of integrated partners, will serve as the model for how Team Coco can deliver brand relevance and impact for a growing list of branded partners.
"Conan has always been a fearless performer and now, at the top of his form, I'm excited he's taking a gutsy step forward with us into new arenas," said Kevin Reilly, president of TBS and TNT and chief creative officer of Turner Entertainment.
Billy Parks, a seasoned and well-respected creative executive will be vital to the growth of Team Coco's new initiatives, working closely with longtime CONAN Executive Producer Jeff Ross. Parks most recently served as Executive Vice President of Creative and Content Strategy at Otter Media.
"This natural evolution of the show and expansion of the brand gives us a unique opportunity to reach fans in ways we never could have dreamed of when we started this show 25 years ago. Billy Parks will be an integral part of our continued success and advancement in creating exciting opportunities across all platforms," added Jeff Ross.
CONAN will continue to take the show internationally in the vein of past shows such as Cuba, Mexico, Haiti and Israel, through his critically acclaimed CONAN Without Borders series. These hour-long specials have attracted passionate international audiences across multiple platforms and will continue to be an important part of the show's portfolio. Additionally, in celebration of his 25 years on late night, Team Coco will be making O'Brien's entire catalogue from Late Night with Conan O'Brien on NBC and CONAN on TBS available digitally.
TBS, a division of Turner, is one of basic cable's top entertainment networks with young adults, and home to eight of the most popular and critically acclaimed comedies on cable—Angie Tribeca, The Detour, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, People of Earth, Search Party, Wrecked, The Guest Book , and The Last O.G.—as well as animated series Final Space, American Dad! and Tarantula. TBS' slate of unscripted series includes competition series Drop the Mic and Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker's Wild. Upcoming comedies include Miracle Workers and Close Enough.

In the 15th century, a Battery Tower was built in order to better protect the southwest flank of the Castle. Gun emplacement chambers were set up for heavy cannons on two floors of the round tower with walls 5 meters thick. You can clearly see the niches where the cannoneers stood, and also the vents for the powder smoke. In addition, the lower cannon cellar served as a jail. On the upper floor there was the horse-powered mill, operated with horses or donkeys, so that even under siege, there would be enough flour at the Castle.
In the upper gun emplacement room there is a reproduction of an Alchemist's Laboratory on display. Such alchemist's kitchens existed at many aristocratic courts in early modern times in the search for the Philosopher's Stone they wanted to produce gold with.
We now enter Kronenburg Castle via the inner courtyard.


Marketing Shark | Pop. Life.
Ok, here's a weird one.
As I mentioned before, and as you all are aware of if you blog, we bloggers get many emails from companies and organizations asking us to mention them on our blog for marketing purposes, sometimes with a free prize as incentive. I am not so big on doing that, but maybe that's because no company that I really actually liked has ever asked me. Do you hear me, Anthropologie? How about you, Lola Pop shoe store? I'll even take you, Trophy Cupcakes.
But no. I always seem to get asked by a place that I really have no interest in promoting. The other day, I got an email from a cable network, asking me to promote a series they are doing on shark attacks. I have no idea why I would do that. Really, I'm asking. Why would I do that? Normally, I would delete the email before even reading the whole thing, but for some reason I skimmed this one. And then I got to this line.
They put the personalized shark story, whatever that is, into a custom bottle. A custom bottle? How exactly is it custom, I wonder?
But then, my favorite part. The custom bottle, which, at one time or another, in the past, contained an artifact of an imaginary shark attack.
Let us ruminate on what such an artifact might be. What sort of artifact would result from an imaginary shark attack? An imaginary shark tooth? An imaginary spattering of blood? An imaginary shark turd? An imaginary hospital bill?
But it doesn't matter what that artifact is, because that statement is written in past tense. You are not getting the artifact. You are getting a bottle which ONCE HELD that artifact. So- do they tell you what that artifact was? And how do you know it was really once there?
It can't really be there, though, can it? Because it is from an imaginary event. So wouldn't the artifact, too, be imaginary?
Wait, I just read it again, and it says artifacts. Plural. Not just one thing that once lived in that custom bottle. Two things. Perhaps more. Things that they removed, and replaced with a copy of your own personalized shark story. Because if you had a choice between artifacts of something imaginary and a personalized shark story, then you would choose the shark story, right? I mean, duh. And if you didn't choose that, and you decided you really wanted the artifacts, too frickin' bad. They have removed them.
I almost want to advertise this show just so I can get my hands on what this could be.

COLUMNS & REVIEWS
The Man Known As Diisiimo
Cori Baynes
MUSIC-CULTURE
Meet Richard Balgobin. At first glance Balgobin looks like an unassuming, humble and ordinary guy, but delve deeper into his life and you would uncover a tale of success and adversity which eventually led him to one of his and by extension, the Caribbean's biggest musical accomplishments.
His is the world of entertainment, music and life in the limelight and while it may seem glamourous and alluring to many, it has not come without grave sacrifice.
Hailing from south Trinidad, Balgobin, who is better known in the music industry as Diisiimo, is one of Trinidad and Tobago's leading music producers and has worked with some of the nation's most renowned artistes from all genres of music.
In addition to his role in producing many of the beats that infect the various fetes, especially at Carnival time, Balgobin is also an accomplished dj trainer, radio announcer trainer and music production trainer.
But his most prized "hat" to date is the one he wears as a certified Ableton Live Trainer, a title that only few in the world and no one else in the Caribbean can lay claim to.
Ableton Live is a juggernaut of a music programme that can allow its user to produce, edit, dj, record and edit audio, as well as edit and playback video. Named after the Berlin Germany based company Ableton, the Ableton Live software is one of the most versatile entertainment tools in existence.
So prestigious is the software, that the founding company has certified the best music producers in only 34 countries worldwide and Balgobin has been bound by contract not to disclose the details of the certification process.
Those who doubt that Balgobin is indeed the only person in the Caribbean qualified and certified to teach the Ableton Live programme need only visit the company's website www.ableton.com and click on the "Certified Training" link.
Trinidad and Tobago is the only Caribbean nation mentioned on the website's list.
In his music studio where he spends many a night, Balgobin, who has been using the Ableton Live software for the past six years, said that his journey to becoming an Ableton Live Trainer (or "ninja" which is the name given to the trainers by the Ableton company) was a long and arduous one with an unlikely beginning.
Richard "Diisiimo" Balgobin, who started his entertainment career as a radio announcer and television personality, at first operated under the name "Madman Richard", but changed his name after he and his accomplishments were mistaken for those of others in the field with similar aliases.
He got the name Diisiimo from his niece and has taken it to mean happiness and enjoyment.
However, tragedy struck in 2005 when he was kidnapped by gunmen one night after leaving the radio station. He managed to escape his captors the next day, but subsequently made up his mind to walk away from radio and television.
"When things like that happen, it makes a person reflect on the important things in life," he said, adding that his family was first and foremost in his mind.
By then, his talents as a music engineer were well known throughout T&T and after his ordeal, he was propositioned by Kes the Band to work as their music sampler.
"After the kidnapping, I was not sure what direction I was heading. I am eternally grateful because it's because of Kes the Band that I am still out here fighting," Balgobin said.
Richard hard at work in his studio
"I am not the type of person to close up and live in fear and so I went about getting my life back to normal. I conduct my daily routines with confidence because I am thankful for life."
Another motivating factor was his love for music, which he confessed played a big part in helping him stay focused and influencing his decision to remain a part of the entertainment industry.
"I wanted to elevate the standard of performing in T&T and because I had already been using the Ableton Live software, I wanted to be the first certified Ableton user in the region," he continued.
He explained that the certification process was not easy, as he had to make a formal application, then pass a telephone interview and finally travel to Miami to a certification event where he underwent an entire weekend of complicated tests.
As a certified trainer, he conducts classes on an individual basis at $300 per hour. However, in addition to paying his fee, the potential student must be very skilled in using various music and sound engineering software.
Richard proudly displays his Ableton certificate
"This certification has put me on even footing with international trainers who are doing amazing things with foreign musicians and acts, " he continued, adding that he is humbled every time he sees his name on the Ableton website.
He has since left Kes the Band, but still does freelance work with its members as well as some of the industry's top names including Precision Production, the T&Tec Gayatones and the Alternative Quartet.
Some of his most recent work include the 2014 Chutney Soca Monarch Semi Finals and Finals and the Kes the Band's Tuesday on the Rocks concert.
Balgobin, who was certified last year and received his official certificate earlier this month, said that his journey has only just begun because there are many other things he would like to achieve.
"This is a great achievement in local entertainment, but I am not looking towards the local market for appreciation because I have my eyes set on the international market," he said, adding that he has already been offered employment to produce music in foreign countries.
Balgobin, who is very proficient at what he does, strives to always do his best every time he embarks on a project because he believes that each undertaking should be better than the last.
"When I produce a track, the intention is not for locals only. I do it for the global market to consume."
"The world is at my fingertips so why limit myself? " he ended.

Debt's History, Implications and Critical Perspectives
author: David Graeber e-mail: mbatko1@hotmail.com
"Gamal Mubarak, who used to work for Bank of America, decided he wanted to move away from the old welfare state model to a microcredit development model; since no one had any collateral to repossess, the police then became the guys who showed up to break your legs. Hence the universal outrage over police brutality."
"What we learned in 2008 is that everything they told us about markets was a lie. Markets don't run themselves, and debts don't always have to be paid. If we're talking about the real big players, the rules are different, even 13 trillion in gambling debts (by some estimations) can be made to disappear. We can't deny that money is at core a political phenomenon, not an economic one—or at the very least, that it has now become so. But if that's the case, then if democracy is to mean anything, it has to mean that it's not just the richest 1% of the population that gets to decide who had to keep the exact letter of their promises and whose promises can be scotched or renegotiated... but everyone."

Design issues involve elements of taste and personal preference. For example some people will regard a particular site as attractive and well presented, while others will regard the same one as poor and unattractive. However, you will notice that there is often agreement within the design industry about certain things and we would ignore this advice at our peril. If your Scoilnet Blog is used as your school website then it will be wise to agree on a blog style guide for all users.
This section will deal with some of the general guidelines that have been shown to be of importance.
One of the most important issues here is to consider your audience. This will determine the type of language, colours, images, and the general layout of the site.
Material should be checked for accuracy and for spelling before being published. Use a spell checker.
Make sure you keep your material up to date. If your site has a news or recent events section, make sure that it is edited regularly. If for any reason it is not possible to do this for any length of time, put a notice to that effect on the page, or delete the page altogether.
Make sure you observe copyright laws for all material used. If you created the images or sounds yourself, there is no problem, but if not, you need to ensure you are entitled to put them into your site.
In general, it is best to avoid paragraphs written entirely in capital letters, as they are deemed to be more difficult to read. Short headings in capital letters are fine.
It is best to avoid highly decorative fonts for entire paragraphs as they are less readable and also may not be available on other computers.
The choice and size of font has a huge impact on readability.
The colour and texture of background has an impact on readability of text. If you really want to have a colourful background, one idea is to present the text in a table where the background is a uniform colour. In this way, you can preserve the appeal of the site while ensuring that the text is readable.
If graphics are being used, they should be appropriate, not just token pictures to fill a space.
A blog page is not entirely a blank canvas. There are navigation panels other constraints, so it can be difficult to set out a page exactly as we would like. For this reason, it is best to keep it simple initially.
As the designer of a page, you will often not be aware of the difficulty an end user would have navigating your site. It is important to provide alternative ways for users to access pages on the site, but in an intuitive way.
There are two basic font families – serif and sans serif (meaning "without serif"). A serif is a little flick added to the stems of letters and is often regarded as being more readable, particularly in the print industry. However sans serif fonts are more popular on the web, as they are more readable in small sizes and allow web designers to fit more text onto a screen. Another family, cursive fonts is also available, but should be used sparingly as large amounts of text written in this way can be beautiful to look at, but extremely hard to read. We cannot be sure that every computer on which our wonderful site is viewed has the same fonts available to it, so we need to keep to "web-safe" fonts. The bad news is that these are often quite plain and uninteresting, but if we want our site to be accessible, we must restrict ourselves to them.
In the same way as with fonts, there are some general guidelines for the use of colours in websites. Originally, most computers could only display 16 colours. Nowadays, most computers can display 16 million colours or more, but there is no rule that says that all of these should appear on the same page! In fact the opposite is the case. Current advice is that two or three colours are enough, unless you are a qualified graphics artist and can deal with the complexities of colour mixing and matching. The adage "less is more" really applies to the use of both colour and fonts. In general if the background is dark, then the text should be light and vice-versa.
Many modern digital cameras are capable of resolutions of 5 Mega pixels and more, which gives us excellent quality, but huge file sizes. Images must be resized and compressed to a size that will download quickly, or our viewers will become bored and go to another site. File sizes over 100 KB are regarded as too large for easy and quick download. Many free online graphics packages can perform this compression task very efficiently with almost no visible degradation of picture quality. If you really do want someone to see a picture in all its glory, one solution is to display a small version with a link to the real picture and a warning, indicating that it will take some time to download.
Keep the layout of the site simple.
Use lowercase filenames only with no spaces.
Do not use the spacebar to separate items on the page, use tables instead (you can hide the lines so the table acts as a placeholder and the user does not need to know that the material is actually in a table).
Use web-safe fonts and colours.
Do not use any features that require special server-side extensions to be installed, as you have no control over these. A typical example of this is the hover button feature available with Microsoft FrontPage. It may look fine on your computer, but will not always display on other computers.
Take every opportunity to view your site from other people's computers. This may appear to be pretentious on your part, but it may allow you to find that some particular feature that looks fine at home will not work on another platform or browser.
Use the feature in the web editing software, if available, for checking cross browser compatibility. Dreamweaver has this facility.
Check with www.w3.org to see if your site complies with current standards (Not for the faint-hearted, but useful, as it is the organisation that sets the standards in this area).

Inspired by learning to persevere through difficult personal experiences, these illustrated prints are a strong visual reminder of hope and faith.

Yesterday we showed you a clip of the Prime Minister in the House of Representatives where he criticized the BSCFA and its Vice Chairman, Alfredo Ortega for the recently reduced quota in the purchase of Fair Trade sugar, citing that the association needed to get its act together. And yesterday while we spoke to Ortega on the Commercial Agreement, we asked for his reaction on the matter. In the following clip, for context we'll show you both verbal exchanges, that of PM in the House of Representatives and Ortega's response.
Viewers may recall that last two weeks, Tate & Lyle wrote to BSCFA stating that the reduction in quota, from 65,000 tons to 10,000 tons purchased for the EU market will be effective in the upcoming season.

Gregory Mcdonald (Shrewsbury, Massachusetts,  - Pulaski, Tennessee, ) est un écrivain américain auteur de romans, et en particulier de romans policiers.

Biographie

Gregory Mcdonald étudie à Harvard et est journaliste au Boston Globe pendant sept ans (1966-1973) avant de se consacrer à la littérature.

Son premier roman, Running Scared, publié en 1964 à l'âge de 27 ans, ayant été très controversé, Mcdonald ne publie le second, Fletch, qu'en 1974. La série des 'Fletch', centrée autour du détective Fletcher, compte huit autres titres, publiés entre 1976 à 1986, tous traduits en français.

Mcdonald a publié d'autres romans policiers (les séries des Flynn, Son of Fletch et Skylar) et des romans généralistes, pour la plupart inédits en français.

Le public anglo-saxon connaît surtout Gregory Mcdonald grâce au personnage de Fletcher. Les deux premiers romans de la série ont obtenu le prix Edgar-Allan-Poe en 1975 et 1977, et l'acteur Chevy Chase a par deux fois incarné Fletcher à l'écran. Un troisième film annoncé avec Chevy Chase pour 2007 ne verra pas le jour et le rôle est repris en 2022  par Jon Hamm dans Confess, Fletch sous la direction de Greg Mottola : bien que ne bénéficiant que d'une sortie limitée, le film reçoit un excellent accueil critique totalisant 85% de critiques favorables sur le site Rotten Tomatoes.

En France, son roman le plus lu est sans doute Rafael, derniers jours (1991, traduit en 1996), qui a obtenu le Trophées 813 du meilleur roman étranger en 1997.
Ce livre ne passa pas inaperçu aux États-Unis, puisqu'il fut adapté au cinéma par Johnny Depp en 1997. Le film est sorti en France sous son titre original, The Brave.

The song was produced by Jasper Cameron (in case you aren't familiar with the Atlanta-based hitmaker's work, Cameron's Wikipedia notes that he "worked on the image changing lead single Dirrty from Christina Aguilera's second album Stripped" — NBD), and it has a similar vibe to her past slow burners, like "Never Ever" and "Ride". Like both of those videos, "Sorry" sees Ciara showing off her famous curves with some provocative gyrating, thrusting and popping.
Whether the song will resonate with listeners remains to be seen, but rest assured that Ciara's goodies are still highly desirable.
