Omaha, 1905: During the gilded age, when women live subjugated to men, eighteen-year-old Bridget prides herself on having earned acceptance to medical school.When her father is murdered, a crime that does not interest the law because he was half Native American, she risks her plans to become a doctor, determined to avenge his murder.Bridget's quest thrusts her into a world of seedy men and glitzy women in one of Omaha's most opulent brothels. There, she finds herself the prey rather than the hunter.If she is to survive, she must keep the reclusive madam's shocking secrets, learn to trust her heart's yearning for the man who befriends her, and embrace her complicated alliance with a community of notorious women considered society's lowest.

    22 December 1949: A conspiracy that began with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi culminated in the execution of the Ayodhya strategy. Late that night, a little-known sadhu, Abhiram Das, and his followers entered the Babri Masjid and planted an idol of Rama inside it. While it is known that the Hindu Mahasabha had a role in placing the idol in the mosque, the larger plot and the chain of events that led to that act have never been subject to rigorous scrutiny. Krishna Jha and Dhirendra K. Jha bring together the disparate threads of the buried narrative for the first time. Ayodhya: The Dark Night uncovers, in vivid detail, what really transpired on the fateful night that was to leave a permanent scar on the Indian polity.

    Being a novelist is a pretty sweet deal. You daydream, you type, and people pay you! There are possibly a few additional steps, but that’s why you need this book. It will walk you through the process of turning your imagination into polished, professional stories that people will pay to read. Make money doing what you really want to do: WRITE! James Maxey has more than twenty years of experience publishing novels through mainstream publishers and the indy press. He's taught numerous workshops, been a guest speaker at libraries and museums, and been honored as a Piedmont Laureate. He writes stuff and gets paid. You can too! 
    Samples: 
    "Little by little the writing gets done. A book emerges from the ether, to join its brethren in the great library of mankind. I am the author. Of all possible lives I might have chosen, this one feels right." 
    -- 
    "When I was working on my first novel, then my second, then my third, I kept thinking there would come a day when, finally, I’d have it all figured out. There’d be some novel writing process I could follow again and again that would allow me to write books with far less hassle and strain. Eventually I realized that hassle and strain are the process." 
    -- 
    "I almost hate to tell you about the false solution. Once you’re aware of it, you’ll never be able to read books or watch movies without this narrative slight-of-hand being obvious. From this point on, you’re a magician who knows how the woman gets sawed in half." 
    What critics are saying: 
    "Positive, solid advice offered in a breezy, useful way. It's going on my small shelf of writing books." — Gary Cohn 
    "A must read no matter where you are on the journey!" — Airian Eastman

    During the late 2nd millennium BC, Canaan was a Semitic-speaking civilization located in the Ancient Near East. The region held significant geopolitical importance, especially during the Late Bronze Age Amarna Period in the 14th century BC, when it became a crossroads for major empires. The Egyptian, Hittite, Mitanni, and Assyrian Empires all had areas of interest that converged or overlapped in Canaan, making it a key territory for trade, warfare, and cultural exchange. Much of our understanding of Canaan comes from archaeological excavations at sites such as Tel Hazor, Tel Megiddo, En Esur, and Gezer, where remnants of ancient Canaanite life have been uncovered. 
    In biblical texts, the term "Canaan" frequently appears to refer to the broader geographical region known as the Levant, particularly the Southern Levant. This area includes several territories that are central to the Bible’s narrative, such as the Land of Israel, Philistia, and Phoenicia. The Canaanites were the indigenous peoples of this region, and their diverse societies included both settled agricultural communities and nomadic-pastoral groups.
