Books with author N. M. Williams

How old were you when you discovered Sherlock? As part of the Classics For Kids series international best-selling author Mark Williams is proud to present this adaptation for children of the Sherlock Holmes short story The Speckled Band. This is the British-English edition. British-English? Although we speak the same language, we spell many words differently depending on which side of the Atlantic we are. UK = colour, US = color; UK = marvellous, US = marvelous; UK = theatre, US= theater, etc. This sometimes causes problem for children at school, so in response to requests from school librarians there are now British-English and American-English versions of the Sherlock For Kids books. Come join Holmes and Watson as they solve the mystery of the speckled band in a child-friendly, twenty-first century English, with the seamier side of Victorian life left out.

Summer is winding down and strange days have hit the town of Needles, Massachusetts. Barry Drinkwater, a pool-boy for his parents, is unsure how to proceed when cryptic messages land in his lap while floating in the backyard. Whenever Barry thinks he is alone, he catches someone spying on him from behind shrubbery, gazing at him from around the corner, or peering at him over a newspaper. Then, one day, he happens upon a peculiar help wanted ad: an open position for a Courtroom Abstract Artist via Mirro Enterprises. Meanwhile, his guilt-ridden, morbid, and eccentric friend, Wayne, is obsessed with preparing for the impending apocalypse and introduces Barry to a fantastical realm – a realm that raises more questions than answers. While pursuing the truth, Barry finds himself haunting the local cemetery, wandering through an abandoned mental hospital, and exploring a mysterious highway off-ramp. Important questions remain: Can Barry exist as a pool boy forever? Will Wayne perish as he fears? Will their fates intertwine? And, most importantly, what is the story behind Exit-Thirty-Three-B?

He was ready for the game. The initiation and the aftermath ... that was a different story. Carter Lynch was an outsider, an army brat transfer. He had what it took to be a star. He was focused, talented ... violent. Carter didn't join the football team to make friends or win championships. He didn't care about anything but taking a starting spot, earning a scholarship, and leaving. Until he met Sara and Ben. Ben was desperate to fit in, desperate for the same starting spot, and desperate for the same girl. The uneasy friends were on a collision course that would change everything. Adult language and sexual content.What readers are saying."'Initiation' grabbed me right from the first pages and didn't let go until the end. A teen and his family move into a small rural town where high-school sports - especially football - is revered for its untarnished record. Carter, the new kid, is overly confident that he is going to be a first-string player in the upcoming season, dethroning the All-State members currently holding those positions. He befriends a neighbor, Ben, who also wants to play varsity football and joins Carter in his training regimen to become stronger. Football means everything to these two teenagers.Just prior to the first game, the underclassmen are invited to a party hosted by the seniors on one of the surrounding farms. Turns out, it's a front for the annual football initiation and twice as many girls than guys are in attendance. There are sexual undertones and the newbies are offered a choice of three challenges during the initiation. The mental stress is on overdrive. If they make the wrong choice, they'd be picked on for the rest of the season. One of twelve makes the wrong choice and is unable to cope with the ongoing hazing.Carter is an excellent football player and does replace the star player as a starter which creates animosity between the two. He's also a violent player who uses his skills to defend great players from other teams - making them appear mediocre. The team's record is unblemished and everyone is celebrating...until the emergency school board meeting. This is actually an emotional story that continues to pull at your heart strings. Carter has two girls pining for him, his step-father is abusive to both him and his mother, and he's protective of his younger sister. It is also a story about a young boy standing by his convictions and doing what he thinks is right to put an end to the hazing. Only, his action threatens the town's football future - something many in his town won't stand for.I thoroughly enjoyed 'Initiation' and recommend it for everyone. Some of the sex scenes are rather steamy, but aside from that, it's an engaging read with a great ending. Great job Mr. Williams!"John Podlaski, author, "Cherries - A Vietnam War Novel" and "When Can I Stop Running?" ★★★★★"This is yet another great story of the human condition that is engaging and insightful. Williams states he takes a lot from his own experiences in creating his works. This is evident in how well the story is written. It flows effortlessly." - AZ ★★★★★"I could not put this book down! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It was well written and I loved the characters. Phil Williams is becoming one of my favorite authors!" - Lynda D. ★★★★★"I'm not a sports fan exactly. I thought this would be a hard book for me. I was very wrong. The book is amazing & should be a movie. A lot of twists I didn't expect. Very good book!" - krbky ★★★★★
