What was it like to collaborate with Johnnie Christmas? How does your creative partnership work? You’re primarily known for your work as a novelist. But the ones that I really liked the most were Batman and Plastic Man and Little Lulu, which was very funny in those days. So a sort of cottage industry sprung up for black and white comics, which then rapidly disappeared as soon as the war was over, and a flood of colored American comics arrived-the Mickey Mouses, the Captain Marvels… and Wonder Woman, who had been quite big in the States during the war. Could you tell me a bit about your favorite comics from that period, and how they influenced the retro style of Angel Catbird?ĭuring World War II in Canada, you couldn’t import colored comic books from the U.S. Illustrations by Johnnie Christmas, colors by Tamra Bonvillian.

He also takes a very fair and unbiased look at the War of 1812 from the British perspective, which was nice. Many of the characters are selfish, egotistical, and fond of picking fights with each other, but Toll recounts the facts as they are and, though he never actively condemns them, does not support these traits. The harassment of American merchant ships on the high seas calls for the founding of a military navy, and from their building to the War of 1812, Toll follows the famed six frigates - the USS Constitution, President, United States, Constellation, Congress, and Chesapeake.Īs this is a history, morality is never addressed point-blank. Starting in 1805 with Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar and showing the might of the British Royal Navy at this time soon after the American War of Independence, author Ian Toll then moves his focus to the young colonies. An engaging and smooth history of the founding of the U.S. I guess the more I dedicate time to reading and re-reading then it has begun to make more sense.

I have the regular ACIM book as well as the teachers guide and the workbook neatly on the top of my bookshelf where they collect dust for most of the year until I have the urge to read a few pages and give up as I get so confused by the style of writing. I have struggled with parts of the original thick books. Her first book was a romantic comedy, but then she switched to the dark side of suspense.

Her family moved to Switzerland, and Hannah loved the mountains, chocolate, and cheese…or mountains of chocolate and cheese.Īfter completing commercial studies in Geneva, she worked as a PA for DuPont. Hannah was born in Manchester, UK to British & Swiss parents. Prolific author Hannah Mary McKinnon joins me today. The day starts promisingly - sunny, bright, eaves dripping after weeks of below zero weather.

We join Rosette and her son DeWitt, very pregnant daughter-in-law Lillie and granddaughter Floy as they wait out the birth of the child in a tiny rented shack on the outskirts of a tiny town 60 miles from their homestead in Marshall County, Dakota Territory. GA Blizzard is an excellent continuation of Cindy Marsch's first novel, Rosette.

There are certain obvious similarities between the two books. "As perhaps the second most important American nineteenth-century ideal society THE DIOTHAS has been examined for connections with Edward Bellamny's LOOKING BACKWARD.
