  • Don't Breathe
    Carole Nelson Douglas 1 From the CAST OF CHARACTERS anthology in trade paperback and eBook Don’t Breathe by Carole Nelson Douglas The Hunt I’m in need of some serious hiding. Behind a garage or a garbage can won’t do. My thumping heartbeat tells me I’ve wasted way too much time considering options. My eyes scan the familiar neighborhood. The houses’ front landscaping is the first place they’ll search. They’ll also go for the massed ferns on the north walls, although I love the earthy, medicinal smell there, where in the past I've hunkered on my belly like cat, feeling safe and reassured. No, not safe in the back yards. Even the jungle-thick plantings around Mrs. Menard’s hidden fish pond are too obvious. I hear their deep voices calling, coming closer. Any sprint of more than fifteen feet will give me away. Think, Cathy! I’ve hidden myself all over this neighborhood and I don’t care about getting dirty. I must hide completely. I can’t be found. I can’t be found. Right now I’ve boxed myself into the alley. I hear them tromping around the houses’ side yards. No fences in this neighborhood. I’m still standing in the late afternoon daylight, feeling naked and visible. Must disappear totally. Fast. There! Fresh-trimmed brush by the Heinz’s dented aluminum garbage can. Barbed-wire sharp branches top a huge pile of grass clippings turning sage green. I fling the thorny branches aside and burrow like a bone-hungry dog into the dying grass clippings.

HARRISON A NUMBER OF BRITISH citizens were attracted to eastern New Mexico during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Among them was Thomas Simpson Carson who spent a decade or more in that region. Only a handful of New Mexico citizens c~m remember Carson today, but, unlike most visitors, he left a written account of his stay, as well as of his travels to many other parts of the world. Almost unknown today, his two books give an interesting account of New Mexico as it appeared to an intelligent Scotsman during the final years of the last century.1 While Carson's account cannot be substantiated in every detail by available evidence, he appears to have been reasonably accurate in recounting his experiences. A native of Scotland, Carson began his world travels just before the Franco-Prussian war, when he went to Germany to study the language.

  • Tim-Mcgraw-Pdf-Proposal.Pdf
    CREATIVE BRIEF Tim McGraw CD Layout and mock-up 1.7 - Project: CD Cover Design Pt 1 Creative Brief Sep 4, 2011 By: Doug White PROJECT SUMMARY I would like to start off with a brief introduction of who I am as an artist and designer, and the main point of my request to submit a design brief for a proposed mock-up cd, LP for the artist Tim McGraw and specifically the album Tim McGraw’s “Number One Hits”. My reasoning for this request is specifically for a facelift in brand recognition so that Tim McGraw’s logo and brand is consistent throughout. Before I point out these details I would like to compliment the original artist Glenn Sweitzer from Fresh Design, who did an excellent job with photography. My name is Doug White and I have 10-plus years of design experience inside the music business and throughout the Hollywood entertainment industry. My works and samples range from print, video and web design and can be seen at http://www.dougwhitecreative.com My initiative in choosing Tim McGraw is to elevate his appearance with a graphical presentation that will, in turn, boost record sales and promote his upcoming tour for 2012, along with establishing brand recognition that he can be used on upcoming tours, ad campaigns and continued web marketing. My research gathered from about.com states that Tim McGraw has sold over 40 million units and has dominated the charts with 32 No.1 singles, including his latest, “Felt Good On My Lips,” a bonus track from Number One Hits, his 2010 double CD collection.
