![]() ![]() Investigators questioned Jason and impounded his 1982 tan Subaru. ![]() Meanwhile, an anonymous caller to the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office suggested looking into Jason Massey, a 20-year-old high school dropout. The feds believed that it wasn’t exactly a sex crime - Christina hadn’t been raped - and noted that it was probably committed by someone who started out by abusing animals and derived sexual pleasure from inflicting injuries. With few clues, local investigators turned to the FBI for help profiling the killer. Although James didn’t see her, investigators believe Christina was in the car, too. That night, James witnessed his son get in a car with a driver he seemed to know, but he didn’t get a look at his face. Christina and James had gone missing on July 26, 1993, from their home in Garrett, Texas, where they lived with common-law husband and wife James King and Donna Benjamin.įrightening fetish. ![]()

The Reformers had not been slow in taking advantage of the situation their popular tracts and catechisms were flooding every country and leading thousands of souls away from the Church. The need of a popular authoritative manual arose from a lack of systematic knowledge among pre-Reformation clergy and the concomitant neglect of religious instruction among the faithful. ![]() This catechism differs from other summaries of Christian doctrine for the instruction of the people in two points: it is primarily intended for priests having care of souls ( ad parochos ), and it enjoys an authority equalled by no other catechism. ![]() ![]() There is another possibility: that savannah was an Algonquian word already in use among area tribes and completely unrelated to savanna, but they just happened to sound the same. ![]() They might have referred to themselves or the landscape as "Savannah" or it may be the South Carolinians just couldn't pronounce their tribe name correctly and it came out sounding like "Savannah" whenever English people said it. That is, perhaps, how it was acquired by the migrating Shawnee who drove out the Westo tribe and made their home along the Savannah River. The word savannais one the Spanish may have picked up from the Taíno Indians in the Caribbean, then fed back to other Indians on the North American mainland. There are a couple of points I need to review (because I have no problem correcting myself or clarifying a muddy issue).įurther discussion on Facebook with my fellow tour guides reveals the origins of the name "Savannah" to be very murky indeed. ![]() ![]() ![]() So Speaks the Heart, Avon Books (New York, NY), 1983.

Her only hope is to distinguish herself by making the biggest splash in the one sphere she excels: on horseback. As an incurable bluestocking from a family tumbling swiftly toward ruin, she knows she’ll never make a match in a ballroom.

Taken had several post-apocalyptic elements that made me experience moments of deja-vu (people disappearing at a certain age, teenagers seeking the truth via rebellion, deceptive authority figures, etc.) yet was original enough in its own telling that I found it to be a compelling story. ![]() And the world outside of Claysoot is far different than anything that he has ever experienced. When that secret is uncovered by Gray he has to make a dangerous decision about whether or not to try to leave Claysoot, because as far as he knows anyone who has tried to escape in the past has ended up dead. Gray grieves for the loss of his brother, but then finds a clue that points to evidence of a family secret. ![]() Taken begins on the day of Gray’s older brother Blaine’s Heist.

What if one thing happens in one story that makes the next story possible? This is life, this is reality. I thought, how can I turn these things into a novel? Well, sometimes a theme can be your glue. These random thoughts began to coagulate into stories. I took half a year off work and went on the Trans Siberian Railway. One of the agents sent a note back, “This perhaps isn’t the thing, but let me see the next thing you write.” That was very encouraging.
