| California Chances: One Chance in a Million/Second Chance/Taking a Chance (Heartsong Novella Collection) by Barbour Publishing, Incorporated California Chances | | These are three novellas in one. Although, they are not very long and written by three different women, they seemed long! I didn't even finish the third one. Maybe it was good, but I was worn out! The second was better than the first, but I don't recommend the book. The story and the characters, especially in the first one, just weren't all that interesting. | | California Chances: One Chance in a Million/Second Chance/Taking a Chance (Heartsong Novella Collection) by Barbour Publishing, Incorporated California Brides | | Was a continuance of the Chance family from Kentucky,& was a really relaxing read. I thoroughly enjoy the closeness,love,Christian values of this family. Would love more of the saga of this family. Hope they write more than the three books on them. | | California Chances: One Chance in a Million/Second Chance/Taking a Chance (Heartsong Novella Collection) by Barbour Publishing, Incorporated A Nice Escape From Reality | | I believe the above reviewer was referring to "California Chances", not "California Brides". "California Brides" is about the next generation of Chances. "Kentucky Chances" and "California Chances" are about the six Chance brothers. This book is about their daughters. I love these books because I have always loved reading about big families. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments in all of these books. I love the colorful way in which they talk. I guess "charming" would be the right word, but whatever you want to call it, these books are great to read when you're ready to escape from reality for a few hours. | | California Chances: One Chance in a Million/Second Chance/Taking a Chance (Heartsong Novella Collection) by Barbour Publishing, Incorporated Great stories | This is a compilation of three stories "One Chance in a Million", "Second Chance" and "Taking a Chance". The stories about the Chance brothers who live on a farm. There is 6 brothers, Gideon, Daniel, Paul, Titus, Logan and Bryce. The three stories incorporate all the brothers but each story center around one particular brother. The first is Gideon's story. Miriam sails across the ocean to see her sister Hannah who is married to Daniel Chance. When she arrives she finds that her sister has died and her two little nieces are being raised by these men. Daniel is unhappy with her being there because she looks so much like Hannah. Gideon wants to send her back. Miriam is determined to stay. Who wins? The second story is Titus's story. Alisa is running from the Law for a crime she didn't commit. She is on the stage bound for Reliable and meets up with Titus. They are drawn to each other right off. However, Titus had previously asked a girl in town to marry him but she turned him down. Now seeing him with another girl...she wants to change her mind. Things do get a little complicated and cute. The third story is about Paul. Miriam's cousin Delilah finds herself alone when her gambling father dies and she has nowhere to go. She decides to go see Miriam (who she has kept in touch with). Paul is the kind of strong man that Deliah needs but can she ever trust another man when her father has let her down all her life?
I thoroughly enjoyed these stories. There is very few "nice" women in Reliable and any time a girl arrives it is known by ALL the men in the area. They all want to come a calling and are getting frustrated that the Chance Brothers are all ending up with the available women. Great stories.
As a seperate note: There is another book by Heartsong Presents called "Last Chance" and this is Daniel's story. There is also another book coming out called Chance Adventure which is Logan's story. And I believe Bryce's story is called "Chance of a Lifetime". Very enjoyable. Highly recommended. | | California Chances: One Chance in a Million/Second Chance/Taking a Chance (Heartsong Novella Collection) by Barbour Publishing, Incorporated Product Description | | The Chance brothers of Reliable, California, are about to have their ranch invaded by three apparent "damsels" in need of relief from their "distress." Miriam arrives from overseas not expecting to find her sister dead and nieces living in neglect of feminine supervision. Alisa is fleeing false accusations and seeking a place of quiet refuge. Delilah carries a burden of pain from her past and won't risk trusting anyone again. Will any of the rough-around-the-edges brothers stand a chance of barring their hearts from love as they offer a hand of compassion? |

Playing with MarsEdit
O’Reilly: Giles Turnbull: Playing with MarsEdit: “I’ve been involved in the launch of a new web project during the last couple of weeks. Since it relied on heavy use of the Movable Type online publishing system, I thought it would be worth trying out one of the desktop weblogging applications that are floating around these days.”

Storage and re-use of images using PHP/GD - Part 1
evolt.org: “Publishing images on the web is nice, but tedious. It would be nice if we could use a system that automates the uploading, storage, converting and resizing of our images. We could feed that system our images once, and retrieve them later in many different formats.”
