After the Sparks
Contents:
Even when Ron writes about his personal life, he couches his lyrics in so much mystery and literary and musical allusions that it never feels like a typical love song or stark confessional. Maybe it isn't as direct as some people are able to do.
One thing I take some pride in is it seems the general career arc of writers when they've been around for some time, the writing becomes more self-reflective. I'm pleased that I haven't gone in that direction. I'm not writing down what's expected of me but instead writing things that come naturally. There's an expectation of where you are and the mellowness of what you're doing — we kind of shun that.
Growing up in Pacific Palisades in the s, the Mael brothers had a seemingly all-American childhood, going to the beach and playing sports. In contrast to Sparks' fey image, Russell was the quarterback of the Palisades High School football team. I was on the high school football team for three years.
Ron played at Uni High" because Palisades High hadn't opened yet. It was a kind of religion, going to the beach all day, surfing and playing volleyball. We were looking to England [for music], but equally there were bands here in Los Angeles reflecting our culture. We were born in Los Angeles, but we also gravitated toward the British scene. We stood out dress-wise, trying to emulate the British bands.

It was all kind of a weird hodgepodge. Despite living in the Palisades, we weren't from a wealthy family. It was a whole different world to us. Image wasn't a concern for the [local hippie] bands. Aug 20, Caz rated it it was amazing. Finally got a chance to read this little beauty by Kaylee Ryan.

I first read this as part of Burn Me Anthology and just re-read it today with the release as an individual novella. Still loved every second of it. Kinsley was such a relatable character.
And her friends were a hoot too. One of my favorite quotes from this book is right in the first few chapters when her friend Anna gives a toast. I love the humor. And of course I fell in love with Brantley. He is bold, lovable, patient, and hot. His protective nature is such a turn on. I love the connection between the two. The chemistry is amazing.

Kaylee did great writing this novella. May 14, Melinda Lynch rated it it was amazing. Kinsley grew up with her dad as a firefighter. Will these two work it out or miss out on love? This is a must read story. I love a good short story almost as much as I love a good fire fighter story. This book is both! Metals with low thermal conductivity are especially good at producing sparks.
Titanium and zirconium are especially good in this respect and so are now used in fireworks. Copper , on the other hand, has a high conductivity and so is poor at producing sparks. For this reason, alloys of copper such as beryllium bronze are used to make safety tools which will not spark so easily. Robert Hooke studied the sparks created by striking a piece of flint and steel together. He found that the sparks were usually particles of the steel that had become red hot and so melted into globules.
In colonial America, flint and steel were used to light fires when easier methods failed.

An electric spark is an abrupt electrical discharge that occurs when a sufficiently high electric field creates an ionized, electrically conductive channel through a.
Scorched linen was commonly used as tinder to catch the spark and start the fire, but producing a good spark could take much time. A spinning steel wheel provided a good stream of sparks when it engaged the flint, and a tinderbox designed to do this was known as a mill. In a modern lighter or firesteel , iron is mixed with cerium and other rare earths to form the alloy ferrocerium. This readily produces sparks when scraped and burns hotter than steel would.
This higher temperature is needed to ignite the vapour of the lighter fluid. Molten metal sparks can be created when metal is heated by processes such as Bessemer conversion of iron to steel or arc welding.
