JUST LAUNCHED FROM CAROL AMOROSI!
Angus MacKay thought he had left danger behind. With a good position, a growing family, and a quiet life in Pennsylvania, the colonies seemed to hold great promise.
But whispers of rebellion spread across the frontier, secret societies plot in back rooms, and friends demand he join their cause. Having witnessed the result of open rebellion, Angus tries to remain neutral—until he agrees to deliver one coded message.
When the recipient turns up dead and Angus is accused, he and Joel find themselves caught in a web of spies, suspicion, and betrayal. In a world where no one can be trusted, survival may demand more than silence.
Set in the uneasy years between the Boston Tea Party and Lexington and Concord, all is far from quiet in the American Colonies. The MacKay Mysteries continue with danger, deception, and the hidden struggles of a people on the brink of war.
NEW THRILLER BY BOB MEANS!
In The Adrian Account: A Tony Taylor Adventure by Bob Means, danger lurks in every shadow as Tony Taylor and his associate, Lefty, are pulled into a treacherous world of Nazi intrigue and stolen art. What begins with a cryptic phone call about a mysterious “Adrian account” and a valuable Marc Chagall painting, “The Swan,” quickly spirals into a fight for survival for Janet LeGrand, owner of LeGrand Gallery, and those around her. The danger they face is palpable, lurking in every corner, heightening the suspense. As Janet delves deeper, she uncovers her father’s involvement in a secret network that sold art confiscated by the Nazis to fund their activities in South America.
AN EKPHRASTIC CELEBRATION OF FIBER ART AND POETRY
This anthology began as a joint project between me, Dr. Laura Guertin, and Betsy Wilkening. Dr. Guertin and Betsy Wilkening have been creating fascinating exhibits at the Annual Geophysical Union meetings since 2021, which combine their love of fiber art with science.
In 2024, I suggested that we create a multimodal ekphrastic project, pairing fiber art with poetry. Several poems were made in time for the December 2024 American Geophysical Union exhibit to pair with fiber art. Throughout 2024 and early 2025, we accepted more submissions to create this book. Thus, some of the artwork in this book, added after the conference, takes the form of drawings, paintings, and even art in museums. However, each artwork accepted for the book was carefully chosen to fit with the theme to explore “making the unseen, seen” and to link science and art through poetry.
A MUST-READ AN INVESTIGATION FOR OUR TIMES
Praise for Outrageous
Outrageous is the summary of a twenty plus year crusade to bring accountability to three mass shootings. Cariens is no Don Quixote, but a voice—a clear one—calling on public officials to honestly come to grips with what happened and learn from it so that these tragedies become less likely.
Martin Petersen, author of City of Lost Souls
Despite its humble tone, Outrageous ranks among the most important books of the twenty-first century. It is a page-turner written by an insider with passion and factual accuracy. It witnesses the role of power in the United States, not only in mass shootings, but in ways that have infected the judiciary and have overturned right and wrong. Amid profound moral depravity, the light of goodness prevails in Outrageous, victims’ voices are heard, and the wrongdoers — finally — are justly accused.
Dr. Shannon Greene, author of 24 books, and the only person to win a law settlement, pro se, in the wake of the Virginia Beach mass shooting.
