  Julia has been let go from her job of 20 years, as a ground water geologist in Eastern Washington and must find a new way to support herself. She decides to pack up her belongings and return to her family's cottage on Pine Island. There she hopes to find a new meaning to her life, while living in the peaceful and serene setting that she always experienced in the northern woods of Canada. 
  She is surprised to discover that her old buddy, Andrew, still spends every summer across the river on Brown's Island, where he spent his youth with his family. The two had always spent their childhoods playing, fishing and enjoying the tranquility of island life as children. Once again, they share time enjoying the love of the great north. 
  Julia had left for college over two decades ago, to make a life for herself working on the plutonium ground water cleanup project left from the atomic bomb processing, at the Hanford Nuclear Site in Richland, Washington. There she had made a life for herself; not returning to the island she loved so much. Destiny forced her to reevaluate her life and priorities encompassing many changes in attitudes and lifestyle. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  Have Gun-Will Travel followed the adventures of Paladin, a soldier of fortune-turned-hired gunfighter, played by John Dehner. Paladin preferred to settle problems without violence, yet, when forced to fight, excelled. He lived at the swanky Carlton Hotel in San Francisco, where he dressed in formal wear, ate gourmet food, attended the opera and enjoyed the company of beautiful women. When working as a gun-for-hire, he dressed in all black, used calling cards and wore a holster, decorated by a characteristic chess knight emblem. The knight symbol was in reference to his name and his occupation as a champion-for-hire.One of radio's best-loved Westerns, Have Gun, Will Travel lasted on radio until 1960 and was televised from 1957 through 1963.

Have fun, and be sure to tune in for the fourth volume, which promises to break new ground in Alphabet Books! (Summary by Denny Sayers)

  "Ah how shameless – the way these mortals blame the gods. From us alone they say come all their miseries yes but they themselves with their own reckless ways compound their pains beyond their proper share.” – The OdysseyExperience the stunning Greek poetry of Homer in this collection of his two major works: The Iliad and The Odyssey. These epic poems are beloved for their presentation of Greek history and belief systems, their strong theming and lessons on Greek virtues, and their continued influence on the literary canon.The Iliad –In the final days of the long-fought Trojan War, the Greek gods begin to interfere with the events of the war. When plagues strike the Achaean army, the fierce leader Achilles uses his connections with the gods to further interfere, which begins a series of events that leads to death and destruction on both sides of the war. This dramatic poem is a commentary on human folly and hubris, while also an in-depth explanation of the warfare styles of the time and a representation of the Greek views on the interference of gods in major historical events.The Odyssey –Following the events of The Iliad, Odysseus begins a journey to return to his home of Ithaca after being away for a decade due to angering Poseidon, the god of the sea. After sneaking away from Poseidon, he embarks on a years-long voyage home during which he is captured and circumvented by earthly and godly foes alike. His journey home is slow and full of turmoil and adventure. Themes in this poem include hospitality, predetermined fate and omens, journeying home, and wandering as a test of faith and resilience.
