And no, Janice is not Canadian she actually hails from Georgia. I actually met Janice at the Surrey International Writers Conference that is held in Vancouver, British Columbia.

When he died in 1935, Pessoa left behind a trunk filled with unfinished and unpublished writings, among which were the remarkable pages that make up his posthumous masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet, an astonishing work that, in George Steiner's words, "gives to Lisbon the haunting spell of Joyce's Dublin or Kafka's Prague." He attributed his prolific writings to a wide range of alternate selves, each of which had a distinct biography, ideology, and horoscope.

That made your bottom, your groin shake and move in ways that white music didn’t. The white guys were okay and they appealed to the chicks and everything. And then after that, Jackie Wilson and, you know, all those guys. The original guys I heard that impacted my life basically was Black music. Bone or any of those guys until much later on. All those African-Americans that made all of it work. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino. But the first music I heard was, I guess, the founding fathers of rock. I happen to be there and the family asked me to do the eulogy for Chuck Berry, which, obviously, is a great honor. Ironically, I did the eulogy at Chuck’s funeral. And the first music I heard was Chuck Berry. Maybe it was 1858-see what I did there? That was a joke. Gene Simmons: I was probably nine years of age.

As the army is used to build a new city in their names, neighbouring nations encroach on Egypt's borders and nothing can be done. Cracks begin to show as the celebrity couple's plans to create a legacy for themselves start to spiral out of control. She retreats to her beloved countryside and leaves Nefertiti alone to face her downfall. Finally, Nefertiti's actions see Mutny's world and all her dreams destroyed. Mutny becomes more and more disillusioned with her willful sister and is soon the only person in the kingdom whom Nefertiti cannot manipulate to do her will. Whilst Nefertiti's beauty takes her far with Egypt's rulers and her people alike, it has no effect on the sister who has known her since birth. Instantly, all eyes are on her and she is able to manipulate her way further into her husband's confidence and deeper into her people's affection. But the effects on Mutny are nothing to those on the already radiant Nefertiti. Thrust into the public eye, the naturally shy Mutny finds herself in rooms more ornate than any she could have imagined taken to the baths to be washed and dressed by her body-slaves and transformed by their art, even she becomes a beauty. Mutny's family were living uneventful lives in the countryside, until her sister Nefertiti married the Crown Prince of Egypt and whisked the entire family into Malkata Palace in Thebes. |
