Desc: Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the eponymous adolescent wizard Harry Potter, together with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his best friends from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The central story arc concerns Harry's struggle against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the Wizarding world, after which he seeks to subjugate the Muggle world to his rule. Since the release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1997, which was retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States, the books have gained immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide.[2] The series has spawned films, video games and Potter-themed merchandise. As of June 2008, the seven book series has sold more than 400 million copies[3] and the books have been translated into 67 languages.[4] The seventh and last book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was released on 21 July 2007.[5] Publishers announced a record-breaking 12 million copies for the first print run in the United States alone.[6] The success of the novels has made Rowling the highest-earning novelist in history.[7] English language versions of the books are published by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom, Scholastic Press in the United States, Allen & Unwin in Australia, and Raincoast Books in Canada. Thus far, the first five books have been made into a series of motion pictures by Warner Bros. The sixth, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, began filming in September 2007, with a scheduled release of 21 November 2008.[8] The series also originated much tie-in merchandise, making the Harry Potter brand worth £7 billion ($15 billion).[9]

Desc: On the 18th June 2008 I completed writing Mother-in-Law, Son-in-Law. If all goes according to plan, the novel should be available to buy at the end of the summer, 2008. Keep track on what's happening over at my blog here: judecalverttoulmin.blogspot.com. This is the direct link for the most up to date news about the novel: http://judecalverttoulmin.blogspot.com/2008/06/mother-in-law-son-in-law-ive-finished.html I perform excerpts from my novels on the last Tuesday of every month at The Lescar, Sharrowvale Road, Sheffield as part of Sheffield's premiere open mic night, Words Aloud (wordsaloud.org) About my debut novels: MOTHER-IN-LAW,SON-IN-LAW is the sexually explicit tale of lonely people trying to find happiness by daring to follow their hearts. Some people shout about finding the wild place, whilst others are quietly swimming in it... Kate got married far too young. Now her gorgeous web-designer husband Alex, once the love of her life, bores her stupid. He's so busy gardening and watching repeats of Top Gear on the tele, he would never guess about Kate's secret life, going to outrageous fetish clubs in London with her lover Colin. But gardening and Top Gear can keep a man happy for only so long. Especially with a mother-in-law as voluptuous and gorgeous as Julia, a lonely widow who hasn't had sex for five years... MOTHER-IN-LAW,SON-IN-LAW, by Julia, is due for publication in 2009 but will be available to purchase late in 2008. MY ADVENTURES IN CYBERSPACE is set in Sheffield and on a fictitious internet discussion forum. Based on a true story, it is a humorous, erotic dark tale of an unhappily married mother of three, Dominique DuBois, who falls in love with a man on the internet without knowing what he looks like, merely by dint of his writing. Think Brief Encounter in cyberspace. MY ADVENTURES IN CYBERSPACE is due for publication in 2009. © Jude Calvert-Toulmin.

Desc: For the first time STEPHEN KING talks about his writing and his brilliant new novel, DUMA KEY, published on Thursday 24 January. Duma Key is an eerily remote, stunningly beautiful strip of land off Florida's West Coast, owned by an old lady named Elizabeth Eastlake. This is where Edgar Freemantle comes to start a new life after a freak accident tears off his arm, and severs his marriage. And where he discovers a unique talent for painting. But soon his pictures become strangely predictive ... even dangerous. With the help of his new friend Wireman, Freemantle begins to realise that what is happening to him is connected to the haunted coast of Duma Key and the mystery of Elizabeth Eastlake's lost sisters. But once stirred, the island's secrets have no intention of going back to sleep. The story is about friendship, about the bond between a father and his daughter. And about memory, truth and art. It is one of the most compellingly powerful and richly rewarding of Stephen King's bestselling novels.

Desc: James Bond 007 is a fictional character created in 1952 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in 12 novels and two collections. The character has also been used in the longest running and second most successful film franchise to date, starting in 1962 with Dr. No.There have been 21 films in the EON Productions series to date, with the 22nd, Quantum of Solace', due for release in November 2008. When the 2nd. James Bond movie was released the critics believed that it would be a complete flop. However, this was not to be, it was the most successful movie of that year, winning 2 Logie Awards. In addition there have been two independent feature productions (a 1967 spoof version of Casino Royale starring David Niven in the title role, and 1983's Never Say Never Again) and one Fleming-licenced American television adaptation of the first novel, aired in 1954. In 1956, Moonraker was also adapted into a South African radio play starring Bob Holness as Bond. By the year 1990 You Only Live Twice was adapted into a 90 minute radio play for BBC Radio 4 with Michael Jayston playing James Bond. After Fleming's death in 1964, subsequent James Bond novels were written by Kingsley Amis (as Robert Markham), John Pearson, John Gardner and Raymond Benson. In addition Charlie Higson has begun to write a series of books detailing the "Young James Bond".[5] In July 2007, it was announced that Sebastian Faulks has been commissioned to write a Bond novel for publication in 2008. Moreover, Christopher Wood novelised two screenplays, while other writers have authored unofficial versions of the character. In 2008, BBC Radio 4 was granted the rights for a one-shot broadcast of a radio adaptation of another 007 novel: Dr. No, with Toby Stephens (who portrayed the villain in Die Another Day) as James Bond. The EON Productions films are generally termed as "official" films originating with the purchase of the James Bond film rights by producer Harry Saltzman in the late 1950s.

Desc: PLEASE READ BEFORE WATCHING! Okay basically this is based on a series of final fantasy novels i am writing. they are prequel to ff8 and set in an alternate universe to ff7. plot: cloud in ff7 seemed to have gotten over aerith's death by the end of advent children so its obviously the opposite in my novels (cloud in this is the same one in kingdom hearts) and so after hearing from gilgamesh (who by the way can travel to different universes in order to collect some of the most powerful swords) about other universes, cloud decides to travel to one of them in the hopes of finding aerith again (The same aerith in kingdom hearts). damascus in case your wondering is the space between universes, this is also what sora, donald and goofy travel through in kingdom hearts using their gummi ship (world and universe mean the same thing). towards the end of the series their is a great war between the ones who were involved in the jenova project which is what the phrase near the end of the trailer means. its all very complicated so there's no room hardly to explain it all, but just watch it any way, plz comment :) if you want anything clarified just ask.

Desc: Why, hello there, children! Today, Mr. Kishima, will take you all on a journey into the wonderful world of Yu-Toharu's Nitro Royale characters. *shot* Not that there's many of them, just Al Azif and Natsumi (whom I shall leave for someone else). I consider both to be the comical relief of Nitro Royale and allow me to explain that with Kouma's opponent as an example. So, to cut a long story short, this chick originates from a series of visual novels known as Demonbane, heavily inspired by H.P Lovecraft's novels. What would make her seem an interesting and original individual is the fact that Al is actually a book, who took the form a girl in order to help out the main protagonist. But believe me, this is where the REAL fun starts out. See, she's not just your ordinary piece of literature, but instead...The Necronomicon. Wait, did I read that right? SHE'S THE BOOK OF THE DEAD? Possibly the most powerful evil magic grimoire ever created? Hah! Good joke! That loli doesn't resemble the real thing even in the slightest degree! If she did, then not even Chuck Norris would stand a chance against her. On to the real thing. Similarly to Kayui Uma's NR characters, Al's main sin is her accuracy to the source game. The priority she has on her attacks, combined with her bullshit countering, poses a real problem to overcome. The AI Patch just makes it worse, as Miss Dee Dee Dee will now also spam projectiles and do her best to catch you into traps. Thus, once again, I decided to abuse the AI in the most effective way possible. Would have gone even smoother, if it weren't for Kouma's awfully stiff controls. Come on, 9, you can do way better than that!

Desc: The Saga of Dune part 2/3 The Prophet Dune is a science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert and published in 1965. A joint winner of the 1966 Hugo Award and the winner of the first Nebula Award for Best Novel, Dune is popularly considered one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time, is frequently cited as the best-selling science fiction novel in history,[1][2][3] and was the first bestselling hardcover science fiction novel ever.[3] Dune is set far in the future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar empire where planetary fiefdoms are controlled by noble Houses that owe allegiance to the Imperial House Corrino. The novel tells the story of young Paul Atreides (heir apparent to Duke Leto Atreides and scion of House Atreides) as he and his family relocate to the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the spice melange, the most important and valuable substance in the universe. In a story that explores the complex and multilayered[4] interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, the fate of Paul, his family, his new planet and its native inhabitants, as well as the Padishah Emperor, the powerful Spacing Guild, and the secretive female order of the Bene Gesserit, are all drawn together into a confrontation that will change the course of humanity. Dune spawned five sequels written by Herbert before his death in 1986: Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse Dune. It also inspired a 1984 film adaptation by David Lynch, a 2000 Sci Fi Channel miniseries and its 2003 sequel, computer games, a board game and a series of prequels and sequels co-written by the author's son Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson starting in 1999.
