Three Metal Pellets

M.J. Simms-Maddox

In book #3 of The Priscilla Trilogy, it is time for Priscilla to become the woman she was meant to be. Set in the late 1980s, after Priscilla returns from her time in Africa, she is besieged by prospective PR clients. But Priscilla has long since decided to only take on projects of substance, "earthy." So she waits and waits until, one day she receives a handwritten note that reads: "Interested in spearheading the marketing campaign for the next president?" Meanwhile, her one-time lover, Carlton Elliott Bernhardt, the swarthy, intrepid special operative, surprises her with an invitation to meet his family at their home in Bow Lake, New Hampshire: his parents--Emerson C. Bernhardt II and Lady Chelsea, his surrogate father and head butler of sorts--Ramses, and his older sister--Arvana, a socialite and cocaine-addict. As Priscilla steps back into the public eye, the South African terrorists close in on her again, this time, on the home front. In the climax, Priscilla conducts the PR performance of her lifetime. By the end of her epic adventure, Priscilla discovers that her world and her possibilities in it in love and in work are far larger than the small circumscribed world of Ohio politics and her traditional family, and that she is a darn good PR consultant, too.

Dracula

Bram Stoker

The figure of Count Dracula is one of the most famous literary figures in the world. Since the vampire novel “Dracula” by the Irish writer Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was published in 1897, it has become indispensable in literature and film. The cinema in particular quickly discovered the vampires as powerful images for themselves, but this did not detract from the genre-own qualities of the literary original. Bram Stoker’s novel about the young lawyer Harker and the demonic undead Dracula is still a scary and beautiful reading experience today. “Dracula” is a story about unconditional friendship, love and the fight against evil, which Jonathan Harker and his comrades-in-arms take up. It is built up with special stylistic means (diary excerpts, newspaper excerpts, letter texts) and told in a stirring way. The material contains far more than many film adaptations have made of it and rightly belongs to world literature. In this early montage novel the great oppositions of the 19th century meet on top of each other. Science struggles with faith, empiricism with intuition, Protestantism with Catholicism, the West with the East, the visible with the invisible. This novel even refers to the coming emancipation of women, and does not limit its female protagonists to the role of victims. But more than anything else, this is a novel on eternal love and infinite grief. Bram Stoker (1847-1912), born in Dublin and unable to walk until the age of seven, became the most successful football player at Dublin University as a student. For 27 years he worked as a manager for the actor Henry Irving and as an English agent for Mark Twain. He did not live to see the worldwide success of his novel Dracula. The size of the eBook is about 500 pages.
