The Mysterious Musings Of A Precarious Heart

What starts out as a simple request turns into something precarious and Willa who is struggling with her own self-being, is caught up in multiple intensifying situations, that had me enraptured as I followed her story in this riveting debut novel. The author did a great job in creating a flawed, gutsy, stubborn, pain in the butt protagonist and a narrative to support said heroine, that kept pulling me in deeper and deeper into this action-packed and suspenseful tale with each page turned.

There were some tense moments that gave me pause, but once again, the author pulled it off with great aplomb. And yet, Willa continues to thwart those in command as her search for a killer puts her in the crosshairs of a much larger case which could jeopardize others. I enjoyed this tightly woven, multi-plot drama that had my adrenaline pumping and at the same time embracing the dynamics of Willa, her friends and family. This book is a great beginning to what I hope will be a long-running series and I look forward to the next exploits with Willa and her friends.

Especially when you work with a photographer like Otto. Otto plucked me from oblivion at a party for the opening of a fashion photography exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. With one bold and impassioned gesture, he dubbed me his muse and swore to make me famous. Sassoon cut my hair. Mary quant chose me to model her new line for her London show. Otto took the shots and Vogue featured them on glossy pages I viewed with awe.

Otto and I lived and worked in a big, old loft downtown. It was , a time of exciting changes for the world and us. We were going to put a man on the moon that summer and Otto became obsessed with creating a series of photos for MoMA, staring me, to mark this occasion. Our studio was filled with people. Hair, makeup, wardrobe, lighting, set designers and assistants were there from morning until late at night. Only to have it all repeated the next day and every day for months. Otto could be kind, generous and loving. The photographs were beautiful and Otto made me gleam and glitter like one of the stars surrounding the moon our astronauts were heading for.

I loved the idea of being the face of the moon landing, but one wrong gesture or a prop out of place and Otto would be off in rage. Most of the time I shrugged it off; he loved me after all and only wanted the best for us. His assistants were a different story, often leaving the studio after just a day or two of enduring his outrageous behavior. The newest one, Jed, was different. As Jed and I worked together, we became close and eventually, it turned into something more. What is the essence of the New York experience? A stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge?

He disappeared during one last wartime flight on July 31, The French pilot, writer, and inventor Antoine de Saint Exupery is best known for his illustrated children's book, The Little Prince.

But this alluring and brilliantly poetic and philosophical classic for readers of all ages was Saint Exupery's last book, and just one manifestation of a lifelong passion for writing and drawing. Saint Exupery who disappeared during a reconnaissance mission was a tireless and entertaining correspondent, covering hotel stationery from all over the world with sketches and reports on his nomadic and "precarious" existence. With those epistolary treasures in hand, as well as a cache of photographs, drawings, and manuscripts, the courageous pilot's great-niece, Nathalie Des Vallieres, an art historian, has assembled a gorgeous monograph that tells the entire story of Saint Exupery's amazing life in both image and text, vividly chronicling his adventures and his urgent need to share his thoughts and experiences.

Tragically, war defined Saint Exupery's world, yet he found inspiration and magic in the vast silence of the North African desert and the boundlessness of the sky. Would you like to tell us about a lower price?
