New Releases by Robert Atkins

Taking a page out of HP Lovecraft's works, Robert Atkins shares a story of too big, too regretful, too tragic and cosmically horrifying events that surely took place, somewhere, sometime, beyond the stars. Jonathan Porter is a troubled man to say the least, in this lovecraftesque cosmic horror story he will often fight with his own morals, and quite literally with something else living inside him, it calls itself Brody. Not exactly a friend, not exactly a foe, but always working in his own separate interest. Accompanied by Brody, Jonathan embarks on a journey filled with lovecraftian and cosmic horrors beyond comprehension. All simply to get him out of his body, hoping to do some good along the way, he meets a cast of characters, from kind and hospitable to those aforementioned lovecraft inspired cosmic horrors. However, with each step forward, such a cosmic journey proves not to be a simple walk in the park. While living in this cosmic horror filled dimension (The Broken Bridge) taken from the mind of the brilliiant Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Jonathan discovers that sometimes the worst horrors one can encounter, aren't always the ones that actively persue us, such as cosmic beings or lovecraftian monstrousities. But the ones that haunt our minds. In this regretful lovecraft style tale of cosmic proportions, he'll often find himself blurring the line between saint and sinner.

Charlie "CJ" James quickly discovered the shocking truth about his new girlfriend, Francesca Lombardi, and eventually accepted her for what she was. Unbeknownst to Francesca, CJ hasn't been completely honest with her, and he is hiding something that's very personal and extremely serious, which could very well drastically affect the course of their newfound relationship. The unfortunate truth regarding exactly what CJ is hiding will soon be revealed, but first to someone other than Francesca, Amber Wilkinson, who suspects that CJ is keeping something secret. But who exactly is the beautiful and mysterious young Amber? And does she have secrets, too? If so, what could they be, and will they in any way affect CJ and Francesca's relationship?

The following consists of my own personal favourite short stories from Palpitations: Volumes 1 - 4 (54 in total). The ones not included are the ones I didn't enjoy writing, nor did I enjoy reading through during lengthy editing periods. All stories were thought of and written by me, Robert Atkins. Any resemblances, if any, between them and any other stories written by various other authors are purely coincidental.

The following story is my first ever attempt at an adult comedy. I had the idea in mind for well over a year, but put it on indefinite hold as I was busy with other projects. Now, after just over a month of working on it tirelessly, here it is. It contains adult content (obviously) and profanity.

The following is the 2021 edited version. Online dating is commonplace nowadays. Charlie "CJ" James, 28, has recently registered with a reputable 100% completely free online dating website, one of few. Francesca Lombardi, 25, has also decided to join the online dating community and has registered with the exact same website as CJ and thousands of other single men and women. Both Francesca and CJ quickly discover one another's profile while browsing. Instant attraction on both sides. But are they the perfect match? Can they coexist?

This eBook / paperback consists of all of my own personal favourite short horror stories from Palpitations: Volumes 1 - 4, from my most favourite down to my least favourite.

Palpitations: Volume 4 consists of the following short horror stories: The Obsessed Fan, Second Thoughts, Antagonised, Aftermath, A Changed Man, Sara, Set In Stone, A Woman Scorned, The Tramp, £50 Bet, Skin Deep, Unforeseen Circumstances, The Ex, Unruly Passenger, Widower and Alternate Ending.

The following book is comprised of all stories from both PALPIATIONS and PALPITATIONS 2. Rather than be laid out in the exact same order they were in both books prior to this one, they have all been rearranged into a specific descending order that represents my favourites to my least favourites.The story titled REBORN is also no longer in four separate parts.

The following story, formerly titled The One For Me, is from Leonard Peterson's point of view. The reason for the title change is because each character at some point in the story has quite simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Plus, I was never happy with The One For Me title. It had nothing to do with the storyline and it just didn't look right.We've all had our bad days at work. Leonard Peterson, 33, has just endured one of the worst days at work in a very long time, with one bad thing after the other happening unexpectedly, to his increasing frustration. He's completely unaware that his day is about to get a whole lot worse, owing to the fact that he soon will plainly and simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and all because of a choice he made to head home by alternative means for a change, a choice he will regret. Had he simply accepted a lift home from work by a close friend and colleague, his life wouldn't have been completely changed, and not for the better.

William Frederick May is a former orthopaedic surgeon, one of the best surgeons of his time, with a successful career spanning over three decades. Although he is officially retired from the stresses of working life, he, because of two unforgettable experiences that occurred during his later life, has joined a private organisation known as S.P.I.R.I.T.S., and occasionally participates in a service which is provided to those who are in desperate need of help. His newfound vocation is, to say the least, extremely fascinating. At times, on the other hand, it's also downright scary, even frightening. Otherworldly entities - some mischievous, some harmless, others more sinister in nature - lurk nearby, observing, waiting for the perfect opportunity to capture the attention of those brave or foolish enough to satisfy an insatiable curiosity. Unfortunately, curiosity can sometimes lead to bigger and far more serious problems, namely an unprovoked attack on those who are unsuspecting.

The leading lexicon of contemporary art returns in an expanded, full-color third edition. An indispensable guide for art-world neophytes and seasoned professionals alike, the best-selling ArtSpeak returns in a revised and expanded third edition, illustrated in full color. Nearly 150 alphabetical entries—30 of them new to this edition—explain the who, what, where, and when of postwar and contemporary art. These concise mini-essays on the key terms of the art world are written with wit and common sense by veteran critic Robert Atkins. More than eighty images, most in color, illustrate key works of the art movements discussed, making ArtSpeak a visual reference, as well as a textual one. A timeline traces world and art-world events from 1945 to the present day, and a single-page ArtChart provides a handy overview of the major art movements in that period.

As part of the Getty Foundation's Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A., 1945-1980 regional initiative, the exhibition Backyard Oasis, mounted by Palm Springs Art Museum in 2012, examines photographs of swimming pools from 1945 to 1982 as visual analogs of the ideals and expectations associated with Southern California. These images of individual water-based environs in the arid landscape are an integral part of the region's identity, a microcosm of the hopes and disillusionments of the country's post-World War II ethos. The catalogue contains an introductory essay providing an overview of the development of the swimming pool and its attendant aesthetic and social culture. Authored by the exhibition's organizing curator and its contributing research team members, the catalogue's five chapters are: Exposed Desires: Poolside Reflections on Celebrity, Daniell Cornell, Senior Curator and Deputy Director for Art, Palm Springs Art Museum; Swimming Alone: The Backyard Pool in Cold War California, Jennifer Watts, Curator of Photographs, Huntington Library, San Marino; Designing Nature: The Pool in the Garden, Robert Stearns, Independent Curator and Project Coordinator, Palm Springs; From Beefcake to Skatecake: Subcultures and Masculinity, Tyler Stallings, Director, Sweeny Art Gallery, University of California, Riverside; Dystopia and the Swimming Pool, Dick Hebdige, Professor of Art, University of California, Santa Barbara.

Human beings are embedded in a set of social relations. A social network is one way of conceiving that set of relations in terms of a number of persons connected to one another by varying degrees of relatedness. In the early Jesus group documents featuring Paul and coworkers, it takes little effort to envision the apostle's collection of friends and friends of friends that is the Pauline network. The persons who constituted that network are the focus of this set of brief books. For Christians of the Western tradition, these persons are significant ancestors in faith. While each of them is worth knowing by themselves, it is largely because of their standing within that web of social relations woven about and around Paul that they are of lasting interest. Through this series we hope to come to know those persons in ways befitting their first-century Mediterranean culture. The story of Onesimus is one of the great stories of the Bible and of culture. His story impacts American life even today and played a significant role in American social history. Yet most American Christians would consider Onesimus the answer to a trivia question. What do we know about Onesimus? He knew Paul, of that much we are certain. But were Onesimus and Paul social equals, brothers, as early followers of Christ? As a fictive child of Paul, was Onesimus a client in Paul's retinue, now Philemon's equal? As a slave in the household of another Christian leader, did Onesimus represent a problem for Paul to solve, a gift to be received, or both? These questions involve the social role and status of persons in the first century. Onesimus also opens a window into the nineteenth-century deliberations in the UnitedStates over the question of slavery and the social struggle for emancipation. Finally, Onesimus opens a window into conflicts over the meaning and method of biblical interpretation.
