    Christie Green learned to hunt in order to complement the food she grew in her garden. As an act of practical agency this fulfilled her needs, yet a restlessness stirred within. She longed for a life defined by something deeper than cultural norms. Could she travel beyond the supposed domain of women and venture into the wild, where men were said to prevail? 
     
     
     
    Here, hunting in the wild, the moon cycles through her, rising and falling, whispering messages from the dark side. Rather than circle the hot insistence of a masculine sun, Green begins to attune to the more elusive, mysterious murmuration of the moon. Animals and dreams, lunar partners, choreograph Green through time and space. She longs to dream, toil, live, and love at the edges of the fertile ecotones where she can withdraw inward, retreat like an animal into hiding, and then come into full, radiant view on her own terms. Green sheds the burdens of her domestic self and witnesses the animals defying reason as they walk her into their world, ambling her along, straddling night and day, waking and sleeping. Through them, definitions of gender dissolve and boundaries blur. In the process, Green eclipses western society's definitions of her as a woman, mother, lover, and entrepreneur, courageously birthing her own independence through a profound connection to the animals and the places they call home.

    Legendary outlaw Belle Starr has been written about and portrayed in various media for well over one hundred years. Born Myra Maybelle Shirley in Missouri in 1848, Belle lived most of her life in Texas. She became notorious after living and hanging out with members of the James and Younger gangs. 
    Belle was a crack shot who rode side saddle while engaging in horse thievery, cattle rustling, and holdups. In between these activities, Belle bore two children and was involved with (though not necessarily married to) several men, including Sam Starr. 
    Belle was murdered in 1889 just 2 days before her 41st birthday. The case is officially considered unsolved. This book was the first of many about Belle and was originally published the same year she died.

    Behind These Walls: The Untold Stories of Life Inside Prison offers a powerful, unflinching exploration into the often-hidden realities of life behind bars. Through a series of deeply personal narratives and insightful analyses, this book uncovers the complex human experiences of prisoners as they navigate the brutal, dehumanizing systems of incarceration. From the trauma of arrest and the shocking first days in prison to the harrowing struggles of survival, this book paints a vivid portrait of a world that most never see. 
    Each chapter delves into a different facet of prison life, examining themes such as race, gang politics, the harsh realities of solitary confinement, and the long-lasting impact of incarceration on mental health. The book also highlights the silent, often invisible battles fought by families, particularly women and children, left behind. As it illuminates the inner workings of the prison system, it also offers a critical examination of its failures and the cyclical nature of recidivism. 
    Yet, this book does not merely focus on the darkness within prison walls. It offers hope through stories of resilience, transformation, and the power of education, faith, and human connection. With a forward-looking vision, the book imagines a future beyond traditional incarceration, offering alternative models of justice—restorative practices, rehabilitation programs, and community-based initiatives—that prioritize healing over punishment. 
    "Behind These Walls" is a compelling and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of incarceration, the lives of those affected by it, and the urgent need for systemic change within the criminal justice system. It is a call to action, urging society to rethink what justice truly means and to advocate for a system that seeks not only to punish but to heal, restore, and reintegrate.

    In the mid-1990s, fresh out of high school, Nic Brown was living his childhood dream as a rock and roll drummer. Signing a major label record deal, playing big shows, hitting the charts, giving interviews in Rolling Stone, appearing on The Tonight Show—what could be better for a young artist? But contrary to expectations, getting a shot at his artistic dream early in life was a destabilizing shock. The more he achieved, the more accolades that came his way, the less sure Brown became about his path. 
     
     
     
    Only a few years into a promising musical career, he discovered the crux of his discontent: he was never meant to remain behind the drums. In fact, his true artistic path lay in a radically different direction entirely: he decided to become a writer, embarking on a journey leading him to attend the Iowa Writers' Workshop, publish novels and short stories, and teach literature to college students across the country. 
     
     
     
    Bang Bang Crash tells the story of Nic Brown's unusual journey to gain new strength, presence of mind, and sense of perspective, enabling him to discover an even greater life of artistic fulfillment.
