  In the shadowed heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Bellevue was a town built on coal, secrets, and grudges that never die. Joe Galloway thought the worst was behind him. After surviving the storm that nearly destroyed his business, he’s determined to rebuild. But someone isn’t ready to let him rise from the ashes. When an OSHA inspector turned up dead, the town was gripped with fear—whispers spread that the Dark Hands crime family had arrived, bringing a new wave of violence with them. For fifteen years, Joe carved out his place in Bellevue, battling those who saw him as an outsider. But with enemies closing in from all sides, old rivalries reignite, and buried sins claw their way to the surface. The battle for Galloway mining was no longer about business—it’s about survival. Because in Bellevue, the past never stays buried. And this time, Joe Galloway may not make it out alive.

  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades. 
   
  The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy. 
   
  Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art.  Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.   
   
  In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in the prosaically named Mid-Atlantic region.  Within its boundaries, which have never been authoritatively agreed, are New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.  Therefore it is easy to wax lyrical on what, and how, our esteemed poets including Walt Whitman, Frances W Harper, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, William Carlos Williams and Herman Melville have penned in their gloried verse on the societies and lands before and around them.

  Unfinished Faith: Poems of Faith, Silence, and the Quiet Work of God is a contemplative poetry audiobook for listeners who encounter God not in certainty, but in stillness, wilderness, and the fragile beauty of ordinary life. 
  Written and narrated by South African poet Elaine Rumboll, this collection invites a slow, attentive way of listening. These poems are shaped by silence, breath, and the long interior work of grace. Faith here is not triumphant or polished. It is tender, stubborn, and luminous — a quiet turning toward God in seasons of doubt, waiting, grief, and becoming. 
  Rumboll writes from the ground level of spiritual life: dust and dusk, longing and prayer, the ache of not knowing, and the quiet astonishment that God may be nearer than we dare to believe. These poems do not rush toward answers. They linger, listen, and make space for what is unfinished. 
  Rooted in the movement from Lent into Easter, the audiobook unfolds in four parts: Becoming Still, Entering the Wilderness, God of the Ordinary, and Returning Light — tracing a faith that is honest, raw, and still forming. 
  The author’s voice is central to the experience. Narrated in a deep, resonant, and unhurried tone, the audiobook is designed to be listened to slowly, poem by poem. Silence is part of the listening. These poems are not meant to be consumed in one sitting, but returned to — during walks, early mornings, evenings of prayer, or seasons of waiting. 
  This audiobook is for listeners who: 
  Seek God in silence rather than certainty 
  Are living through grief, transition, or spiritual unknowing 
  Love poetry that is spacious, reverent, and attentive 
  This is not a book to rush through. 
  It is an audiobook to accompany the slow, necessary journey home.

  A novel about the one thing money can never buy... and the one thing we will destroy to possess.
   
  When the wealthy and powerful Boyarina Marfa witnesses a simple shepherd's love for a peasant girl, something inside her snaps. She has everything—status, land, the power of life and death over her serfs—but she has never been loved. Not truly. Not the way Mitri loves Natasha.
   
  Then Cleopatra comes to her in dreams.
   
  The ancient Queen of the Nile, dead for fifteen hundred years, offers Marfa the secrets of seduction that once made men drown empires. Milk baths. Forbidden perfumes. The art of becoming a treasure locked in a fortress, a prize worth pursuing.
   
  But when every lesson fails, when the shepherd chooses his simple love over his mistress's wealth, Cleopatra offers one final gift: a small, withered apple. The Apple of Knowledge. Eat it, and he will forget everything but you. His past. His love. His soul. All burned away.
   
  Set against the brutal beauty of medieval Russia—where winter lasts half the year, where peasants jump over Kupala fires in search of love, and where a woman's loneliness can curdle into something monstrous—this is a story about the difference between loving and possessing. About the fire that consumes and the sun that gives life. About the price of wanting what is not yours.
   
  For fans of Russian psychological fiction, dark historical romance, and stories where myth and reality intertwine.

  Gone Writing: The Poems of Moore...

  Peter Moore

  Humorous poetry from the television program hosted by a beloved Minnesota news anchor. 
  In the 1950s, Dave Moore, a young actor born and raised in Minneapolis, accepted a newscaster position with the local CBS affiliate, WCCO-TV-a job Walter Cronkite turned down. For the next three decades, until his death in 1998, he delivered the evening news with integrity, conviction, humor, and flair, making him a fixture in Minnesota living rooms.  
  At the end of his weekly news-in-review program, Moore on Sunday (or, as he liked to call it, “Moron Sunday”), Moore often signed off by reciting a poem. These poems, composed by Moore’s son Peter and collected here for the first time, offer a fresh and funny take on the common and not-so-common stuff of our everyday lives. Reminiscent of Ogden Nash and Tom Lehrer, with a dash of Dr. Seuss, Peter Moore’s verse captures the essence of his father’s wit, common sense, honesty, and warmth.
