Описание: The death of a young girl in a wealthy Connecticut town shakes the community in this suspenseful tale of psychological terror, skillfully plotted, and deftly written (San Diego Union).

In the sheltered coastal town of Grand Cove, Connecticut, the silence was broken only by the gentle lapping of waves and the soft pop of tennis balls on hidden courts. Amanda Hammond, a beautiful young psychiatrist, had come home to confront the ghosts of her past: her mother's body floating in the Sound, her blue chiffon gown rippling on the water...

Then, on a perfect June evening, the body of a lovely blonde girl drifted in on the tide. Her name was Kelly Payne and her parents were, as usual, unavailable--even for her death. So it fell to Amanda to identify the remains of her young patient. Marks on the body suggested not accidental drowning, but murder. In the fatal undertow, a number of suspects began to emerge--among them, Amanda.

As a web of danger and suspicion closes in around her, Darkness Falls moves towards a terrifying climax, where a cunning, obsessed killer crafts his final revenge...

Описание: Discourse is language as it occurs, in any form or context, beyond the speech act. It may be written or spoken, monological or dialogical, but there is always a communicative aim or purpose. The present volume provides systematic orientation in the vast field of studying discourse from a pragmatic perspective. It first gives an overview of a range of approaches developed for the analysis of discourse, including, among others, conversation analysis, genre analysis, functional discourse grammar and corpus-driven approaches. The focus is furthermore on functional units in discourse, such as discourse markers, speech act sequences, interactional moves and phases, and also silence. Finally, the volume examines different types of discourse (e.g. narratives, service encounters, press releases) in various discourse domains (e.g. medical contexts, the media, education). Each article surveys the current state of the art of the respective topic area while also presenting new research findings.

Описание: About the Book In this sixth short story collection, Linda Anne Monica Schneider combines a few favorites from her earlier books with new fantasy and science fiction pieces, interspersed with some religious and spiritual reflection essays. As the title implies, in this compilation she has attempted to resolve plots and characters from other earlier stories. She answers questions such as: What happened to Snow White's stepmother after the princess found and married her prince? What is it like to land on and explore an unknown planet? Did Luna Star settle down as a sea captain's wife after her people went home to their far away planet, and did they adopt a child? What was it like on the first Easter? How do we prepare for the real "end times?" If you really want to know, please read this book
