Belmond (New American Library, January 2007) A debut novel of family, secrets, and the romantic adventure of one woman's lifetime. Penny Nichols is a historical researcher working on a big-budget film in the south of France when she gets an urgent call. Her aunt Penelope has just died, and Penny's presence is required in London for the reading of the will. With only a slim recollection of her eccentric aunt, Penny is astonished to learn that not only is she a bona fide heiress—but she's also been invited to put her research skills to work. This time, the history she's researching happens to be her very own. What she discovers about Aunt Penelope, a pair of wills, double lives, secret histories, and a family tree of "vultures" is about to sweep Penny and a long-lost relative across France, over the hills of Italy, and through half of Europe on the adventure of several lifetimes. This is her life, her past, her chance at love—and Penny's going to live it with the kind of passion she's always dreamed of.

  • Communicator May 2010
    May 12, 2010 Dedicated to Informative Excellence Issue 7 Spring 2010 Unique Forum Sheds Light on LGBT Issues by Joseph White On Tuesday, May 4, 2010, the Center for Tolerance and Understanding, the Rainbow Alliance Club, the Urban Unity Club and the Office of Student Life partnered for a special panel – Fostering Support for BCC’s LGBT Community – that addressed some of the issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students on campus. The program was the first of its kind in many years but it was an important first step in acknowledging the growing number of LGBT students on campus. Of special note is the fact that much of the planning and organizational work for this forum was student driven. The panel, moderated by Laconia Therrio, featured Student Development faculty member, Prof. Marilyn Russell, Victor Rajcoomar from the Center for Sustainable Energy, and students Sharon Chin and William Murray from the Rainbow Alliance and Urban Unity clubs. The panelists all evoked instances at the College where lesbian and gay students have felt shut out of the mainstream of college life. Rajcoomar added, however, Spokenword artist La Bruja performs while moderator Laconia Therrio and panelists Simply Rob and Katina Douveas that one positive path to acceptance is for students to look on. Photo by Andrew Rowan become engaged in the fabric of campus life and to not isolate themselves in LGBT matters only. Russell added members, from faculty to staff to students, to consider a gay child, stressed that all places and spaces on campus that the College has in the past offered counsel to LGBT the many circumstances that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and should be safe zones, and that it is the responsibility of students but that the support has not been sustained over transgender people face on a daily basis – from coming the entire College community to ensure that a climate of time.

Posted: Mon., Dec. 28, 2009, 8:00pm PT Adler, McCarthy engulfed in WWII 'Fog' Producers option sci-fi horror comicbook 'Night and Fog' By TATIANA SIEGEL Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned the sci-fi horror comicbook "Night and Fog" from publisher Studio 407. No stranger to comicbook-based material, Adler has produced such graphic-based fare as "Constantine," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming Brandon Routh starrer "Dead of Night," which is based on the popular Italian title "Dylan Dog." This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one," Adler said, noting his prior role as a producer of such horror projects as the "Tales From the Crypt" series. "But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings but rather the characters that really drive this story." Set during WWII, story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Studio 407's Alex Leung will also serve as a producer on "Night and Fog." Adler and McCarthy are also teaming to produce an adaptation of "Havana Nocturne" along with Eric Eisner. They also recently optioned Ken Bruen's crime thriller "Tower." "Night and Fog" is available in comic shops in the single-issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology.
