Sinopsis

In "The Boss of Wind River," Arthur Murray Chisholm vividly captures the rugged spirit of the American West, intertwining vivid characterizations with lyrical prose that evokes both the beauty and brutality of frontier life. Set against the backdrop of the Wind River region, the narrative follows the complex interactions among ranchers, outlaws, and indigenous peoples, delving into themes of power, loyalty, and survival. Chisholm's deft storytelling and rich imagery ground the reader in a tangible and immersive world, reflecting the burgeoning western genre of the early 20th century while offering fresh perspectives on the conflicts that defined this iconic landscape. Arthur Murray Chisholm, a figure whose literary output often drew from his own experiences in the American West, infuses his work with authenticity and insight. Having spent formative years in Wyoming, his intimate understanding of the land and its people informs the nuanced portrayals within the novel. Chisholm's background encapsulates both the pioneering spirit and the turbulence of the era, shedding light on the often-overlooked narratives of smaller communities and indigenous histories. For readers who seek a profound exploration of the human condition set against the grittiness of the Old West, "The Boss of Wind River" is a compelling choice. Chisholm's masterful storytelling not only immerses the reader in a critical period of American history but also invites reflection on themes of power and identity, ensuring its place as a significant contribution to Western literature.

By reconciling a past tied to her secret involvement in civil rights activism during the early 1970's in St. Louis, Justine quickly learns the more she attempts to make peace with her history, the more skeletons continue to rise to the surface.  
Set in a struggling suburb of North St. Louis during the Ferguson unrest in 2014, Bone Broth delivers the touchstones of an inequitable society: violence, suppression, and the human capacity to continue in the face of extreme adversity.

'riveting' Publishers Weekly
'[Zimler is] a master craftsman, and this book is Art… a riveting murder mystery… spectacular' India Today
After his Jewish family fled the Catholic Inquisition in Portugal, Tiago Zarco lives a tranquil existence in colonial India, enjoying secret sojourns with his sister into the heady festivities of the local Hindu culture while evading the ruling Portuguese authorities.
But as he comes of age in sixteenth-century Goa, Ti struggles to keep the far-reaching influence of the Inquisition from destroying his family and pulling him apart from the Hindu girl he loves. And when an act of betrayal sees his father imprisoned, he is forced to hunt down the traitor and make an unimaginable choice, triggering a harrowing journey that will show him the depths of human depravity and the poisonous salvation of revenge.
At once passionate, furious and hopeful, Guardian of the Dawn is both a saga of horrifying religious persecution and a riveting, tender multicultural love story.
'Richard Zimler's style is so limpid and encompassing that you begin to find your bearings in 16th-century Portuguese-occupied Goa faster than you may have thought possible.' The Guardian
