PAGES: 265 All The World's My Stage is the action-filled comedy of Kimberly Peterson’s woefully isolated and loveless life. Middle-aged and single, her most recent love affair only exists in her dreams with her favorite movie star. While searching for inspiration for her next romance novel, she happens across the goddess Bali, trapped in a cheap statue in the local antique shop. In exchange for freedom from her tawdry prison, Bali promises to help Kim find true love. Life on the run from Bali's evil twin sister and her mafia of Mau priestesses sure makes Kim's life more exciting. Things heat up when she partners with Gregorian Laydon, the super-sexy love god, who joins Kim's quest to rescue Bali from her enemies. Between vengeful deities and everyone concealing personal secrets, Kim's emotions go on a rollercoaster ride, making it hard to know which way is up. However, Kim courageously faces these challenges head on to: solve the puzzle of her past, save Bali, and win Greg's love, despite all obstacles. All The World's My Stage shows the importance of self-reliance in a world that relies so heavily on partnerships. Kim’s independence is the reason she can survive in this chaotic world of gods, warriors, and clairvoyance, as well as, finally allowing herself to fall in love. This is the story of strong will versus immortal gods, and the virtues that humanity holds over omnipotence. Love, we see, really does conquer all. All The World's My Stage Prologue Egypt, Summer Palace, 305 BC “Apollo, please, I didn’t have any choice,” Bali pleaded. As a goddess, she never found it necessary to explain her actions to anyone, but the look of utter hatred on his face demanded she do so now. A moment ago, deep in thought, she'd felt a tingle of magic, calling her attention to Apollo's presence. Startled at first, then curious as to how he had found her, she became painfully aware of her isolation in this part of the garden. Only Ishe and she met here, making this bower feel safe, secure, theirs alone. She had loved this place for that very reason. Now, it seemed not only disquieting, but like a violation somehow. Ishe had followed her here, he only fifteen to her sixteen, where he had first declared his love. After that, it became their special place, one that no one else knew about but them. Now that private connection felt violated, like this sanctum had been polluted by an outsider. Located at the center of an elaborate maze, this courtyard, one of many in the royal gardens, remained deserted this time of day due to its distance from the palace. Most people rarely ventured this far. “It doesn’t matter. You have interfered in my affairs for the last time.” He waved his hand and a golden statue, about a foot in height, in the form of an Egyptian Mau cat, materialized on the grey slate stones. “Your mother’s symbol I believe,” he said with a sneer. It wasn’t a question. Her mother was well known to both pantheons. The cat represented her mother's worship symbol, the predatory symbol of a great warrior lioness. She stared at the statue, mouth agape. “What are you going to do?” 2 “For your impertinence, I’m going to get rid of you once and for all,” he said, studying his finger tips, then fixing his intent gaze on her. She took one step back and stopped. If she tried to run, he would catch her. His powers legendary, far surpassed her own. There was nowhere to run. Bali looked around the courtyard. If she stood a chance of surviving this encounter, she'd need to do some fast talking. Taking a deep breath, she plunged in. "You cannot mean to banish me. That is not justice and you know it.” “I am a god. I can do as I wish,” he goaded. He smirked, making his usually sun kissed, blond good looks seem cruel and menacing. “Listen, I can explain.” She held up her hands in supplication. “It is really quite simple. I saw Shatiri in the street as she passed by. You know I am a love-goddess and cannot help but bring together those who are destined to be united.” He crossed his arms, not looking convinced. She continued in her defense, hoping his silence symbolic of a good omen, “Shatiri and Ashran are meant to be together. I had no choice. You cannot deny destiny.” Apollo held up a hand, interrupting her. “I am a god, I can do as I like. Damn destiny.” She shuddered. His blasphemy of the Fates only invited trouble. The three sisters didn’t take such talk lightly. She would never speak so. But then, Apollo had been a reckless god since time began. It amazed her that he had gotten away with so much for so long without retribution from some pantheon or another, let alone the Fates themselves. Her Egyptian House and his Greek House observed an uneasy truce. It wouldn't take much to upset the peace and throw them back into a warring state. This conflict could very well do just that. 3 “I have heard enough.” He turned and paced a few steps, throwing one arm out to cut off anything else she might have to say. “Your words do not absolve you. You should have checked before uniting those two. For your audacity in this matter, you will not be the only one to suffer, I assure you.” “But…” she tried again. “Enough!" he said, throwing his hand out once more as he turned back to her. "Shatiri was my favorite concubine and you stole her away. She was my property. Now she will have nothing of me for the love she now bears Ashran.” She tried to speak but discovered her voice stolen. She clutched at her throat in horror, her eyes widened in disbelief. She looked around the courtyard, but saw no one who might offer help in her defense. Then she glimpsed a shifting, deep in the shadows behind one of the columns of the gazebo nearby. Were her eyes playing tricks on her? No, no one there to step forward and offer aid. Apollo's booming voice rang out. Oh, no. Here it comes, the verdict. “I have heard all I need to hear. Bali of the Egyptian pantheon, daughter of the love goddess, Bastet, I sentence you to eternity inside this golden statue. Your punishment shall be to watch as the world passes by without your intervention, without your interference. Your powers are taken from you and given into the hands of my House.” His words resonated inside her head like a gong.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

From a financial perspective, the market is flooded with 175,000 newly published books every year, according to the Book Industry Study Group. Conversely, even with the increase of published books the total number of readers declined by 44 million from 2003 to 2004. That’s as if the states of California and Virginia decided to stop reading. Writing books to make money is like going to college to meet women; a lot of people are already trying and there are more efficient ways to accomplish the goal. What’s to be said in defense of writing? The other side of the above statistic is that 175,000 authors publish new books every year.

  • Lillian Gish
    Lillian Gish Lived: October 14, 1893 - February 27, 1993 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Mark Garrett Cooper In 1920, Lillian Gish both delivered a landmark performance in D.W. Griffith’s Way Down East and directed her sister Dorothy in Remodelling Her Husband. This was her sole director credit in a career as a screen actor that began with An Unseen Enemy in 1912 and ended with The Whales of August in 1987. Personal correspondence examined by biographer Charles Affron shows that Gish lobbied Griffith for the opportunity to direct and approached the task with enthusiasm. In 1920, in Motion Picture Magazine, however, Gish offered the following assessment of her experience: “There are people born to rule and there are people born to be subservient. I am of the latter order. I just love to be subservient, to be told what to do” (102). One might imagine that she discovered a merely personal kink. In a Photoplay interview that same year, however, she extended her opinion to encompass all women and in doing so slighted Lois Weber, one of Hollywood’s most productive directors. “I am not strong enough” to direct, Gish told Photoplay, “I doubt if any woman is. I understand now why Lois Weber was always ill after a picture” (29). What should historical criticism do with such evidence? By far the most common approach has been to argue that Gish did not really mean what the press quotes her as saying. Alley Acker, for instance, urges us not to be fooled by Gish’s “Victorian modesty” and goes on to provide evidence of her authority on the set (62).
