  Saddle tramp Petey McGuire has been kicked around so long, he'd run away from his own shadow if he could. But there's one fight he can't run from — the fight against hunger. Petey needs a job quick. But the only way to get one is to act cool and talk tough. And he succeeds all too well — landing in the saddle with the Arizona Rangers... where he learns exactly what it takes to face the meanest outlaw and win the prettiest girl. Watch your back, as the audio version of The Toughest Ranger puts you in the middle of gunfights, bar fights, and all kinds of full-fisted action.

  It is 1827 and Sarah Seely DeWitt finds herself at the center of Texas history in its earliest and bloodiest period. Sarah's journey from St. Louis to Texas catches her up in a love triangle, forces her into a struggle for her family's survival, and pitches her headlong into the whirlwind of war. Based on actual events leading up to the 1836 Texas Revolution, The Empresario's Wife chronicles the struggles of a young American Everywoman and the events that change her and the nation forever. 
  The Empresario’s Wife is published by Bold Story Press, whose mission is to empower women to create narratives, beak barriers, and shape the world through their voices. When women’s voices are heard, the world is a better place. 
  “Barbara Seeber has written women into Texas history—it’s about time!” – Francine Edson, a Texas reader 
  “Seeber’s novel is prodigiously researched and richly detailed (the narrative contains a wealth of historical nuggets), a textured and atmospheric recreation of time and place with a vividly drawn female lead. Through Sarah’s personal struggles and development, readers are viscerally brought into a piece of history that is traditionally dominated by accounts of the military battles. This is a story of female grit and determination in the face of overwhelming challenges.” – Kirkus Reviews 
  “In this epic family tale, part history, part legend, gifted storyteller Barbara Seeber ventures into the Texas of the 1820s and 30s, a wild sometimes brutal land, but a land of freedom and opportunity. Feisty Sarah Seeley DeWitt, Seeber’s fourth-great grandmother, meets it head on...For Seeber to have re-discovered Sarah and brought her to life through dynamic, uplifting prose, is a gift to her family, to Texas, to all who revere the story of America, and especially to women. Here is a hero.” – Barbara Brownell Grogan, Former Editor-in-Chief, National Geographic Books

  Step into the Most Bold and Imaginative "Biography" Ever Written.
  
  Spanning three centuries and two genders, Virginia Woolf's Orlando is a dizzying, poetic journey through history and identity. The story begins in the Elizabethan era with Orlando, a young nobleman and aspiring poet who enjoys the favor of the Queen. After falling into a deep sleep that lasts days, Orlando awakens in the 18th century to find they have undergone a mysterious transformation: they are now a woman.
  
  Unburdened by the constraints of time or biology, Orlando lives through the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, and into the "present" day of 1928. Throughout this incredible voyage, Woolf explores the fluidity of the human spirit, the art of writing, and the shifting roles of men and women in society.
  
  Written as a "love letter" to Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a cornerstone of queer literature and a daring departure from the traditional novel. It remains one of Woolf's most accessible and joyful works—a high-spirited blend of historical fiction, satire, and fantasy.
  
  Experience a story that transcends time and gender. Buy "Orlando" today and discover a masterpiece of modern imagination.
