Men bound by love, loyalty and the law--they've vowed to keep their missions and identities confidential....THE MISSION: BABY-SIT AN HEIRESSRescue a spoiled heiress who'd gotten herself kidnapped?

  "Take a touch of Charles Lindbergh, mix in a dash of Evel Knievel, throw in one man-killing cat-and you’ve got a recipe for a rip-roaring adventure featuring the high-flying, hard-living Smoke Burnham.There’s not a dare Smoke won’t take, and there’s not a wager he won’t make.  Now he’s betting his life that he can fly his plane, Super Comet-with his pet cheetah Patty coming along for the ride-across the mountains and jungles of South America to a prize-winning payday.All he has to do is out-race the competition, out-maneuver a saboteur, and make out with his girl-who’s determined to bring him down to earth.  One thing you can count on-in the air, in a fight, or in his girlfriend’s arms-he’s a man who likes to turn up the heat.  Because where there’s Smoke, there’s fire.In 1931, as a student at George Washington University, Hubbard founded the college Glider Club and within a few months a respected columnist said “he is recognized as one of the outstanding glider pilots in the country.”  Later he wrote as the aviation correspondent for the prestigious flying magazine Sportsman Pilot.  His combined writing and flying expertise comprised the perfect recipe to give stories like Man-Killers of the Air their authentic flavor."A Galaxy Press audio production.

  In this bold hybrid collection of poetry, flash fiction, and Afrofuturism sci-fi, the award-winning interdisciplinary writer and author of Side Notes from the Archivist explores what happens when god is a Black woman in a town. What happens when there are multiple universes in the middle of nowhere? 
  And what if in each universe there reigned other Black woman gods? One million versions of god, and one million saints to watch over us? And what if this Black woman god were placed here on earth? 
  These are just a few of the questions Anastacia-Reneé asks in this daring and mind-bending hybrid collection. Hers is a universe of striking variety—monsters, nontraditional saints, witches, zombies, the couple in the apartment next door, the wise elders from down the block, and gods watching over us all—as well as community and connectedness. 
  With a prose storyline and characters that connect through family, time, and place, Anastacia-Reneé paints world(s) rich with wonder and the paranormal as she peers into the lives of everyday people and spectacular creatures inhabiting not just our neighborhoods, but other dimensions. Here in the (Middle) of Nowhere is about interstellar ancestry, community and spirituality. It is about the things we invoke, conjure, and rely on to maintain joy as we keep it moving through difficult eras. Anastacia-Reneé’s power imbues her spellbinding storytelling with lovingly rendered characters brought to life in lyrical poetry. She builds worlds within worlds and dares us to fully see and love ourselves in all our complexity.

  The Striding Place - A Victorian...

  In Gertrude Atherton’s The Striding Place, the concept of identity and a lonely death are addressed. Weigall remembers talking with Wyatt about the soul and afterlife. Wyatt states, “If I had my way, I should stay inside my bones until the coffin had gone into its niche, that I might obviate for my poor old comrade the tragic impersonality of death.” The characters wonder about death and the destination of the human soul when it occurs. Weigall does not believe that the marshy bog, The Strid, has taken his friend, but when he sees a hand raised above the surface of the water, he knows it must be him and he desperately and quickly saves him. When he tries to resuscitate Wyatt, he sees that there is no face on the body. This is an extreme metaphor for the loneliness and/or mystery of death.
