Boxes of Time: Stories by Jack Matthews (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

Stories about messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. 11th Story Collection. Over his lifetime Jack Matthews (1925-2013) wrote over 200 stories, many of which were published in literary journals. Although stories varied widely in subject and style, they often could be described as urbane, philosophical, poetic and sardonic. Stories in Boxes of Time were mostly published between 1961 and 1981; they feature characters who are troubled or unsure of themselves trying to deal with life's usual disappointments. Stylistically, these stories are polished and carefully written, but they deal with messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. The characters may not be as educated or self-assured as the people in his other collections, but they still manage to figure out interesting things about themselves and the people around them. Stories from this period focus especially on the emotional stresses that separate parents from their children. This ebook contains 24 stories by Jack Matthews which have never been collected, making it the author's largest story collection. Matthews picked "Boxes of Time" as the title for this collection because each story reveals the drama of worlds long since gone but whose dreams and fears and anxieties still resonate today.

Now their twisted games have brought them here to me. I thought getting an army together would help, that having Raya's Cartel, and the Jackal's on side would be enough to save us. But now I'm trapped, my men are scattered - maybe even dead. I'm guarding people who deserved better in life, with none other than El Diablo to save me... There's only one thing I know with certainty now, as I countdown the clock to the inevitable... We can't all make it to the end of our fight alive. Eventually our luck will run out, and one of us will not survive... I can only hope it's worth it in the end. I can only hope I can live with the pieces of this twisted game however they may fall. This story follows the tale of twenty-year-old Sapphire Montana, a mafia princess, who finds herself entirely alone and with no choice but to fight to keep herself alive and claim back the city that she was always destined to own. With the help of the local mechanic's boys and various gangster friends in faraway places, she aims to take back her birth right and avenge her family.

Diamond Grove has always belonged to the Red Diamonds. A gang forged in blood, sweat, and ruthlessness. There is a reason we are feared across the United States and beyond, even by the Cartel that raised my mama and others like them. We are the royalty and they are the pawns, and that is how it has always been. Until now. Someone has been picking off my family one by one; my aunt, my mother, my grandfather, and now... now they have gone beyond too far. My daddy is dead, my crown has been stolen, and I am left all alone. But the one hellbent on our destruction has seemingly forgotten one thing about us Montana's. We don't quit, we don't back down, and we don't hand over what belongs to us without a fight. I haven't even been coronated as queen yet, but you best believe that I will fight for my crown with every fiber of my being. This city and vengeance are mine, and I will have them. Even if it means I have to rain blood down upon the very streets I vow to protect. This story follows the tale of twenty-year-old Sapphire Montana, a mafia princess, who finds herself entirely alone and with no choice but to fight to keep herself alive and claim back the city that she was always destined to own. With the help of the local mechanic's boys and various gangster friends in faraway places, she aims to take back her birth right and avenge her family. As well as save herself from a stalker, and opposing gangs. This is a why choose (with MM) dark mafia series, where the female main character is the one in power and her men are not.

Eric's problem is that he's at war with nearly every woman in his life at the very moment he has grown to desire nothing more than the love of one girl. That is, his mother assigns him never-ending chores, his aunt taunts him as a male chauvinist piglet, and his sisters protest his frequent tinkling on the toilet seat.
