Andrew's Assignment
When offered a chance to break out of the boring routine he has found himself in, Andrew Stanislus Kolar takes a leave of absence from his job to go on a short assignment for the CIA. But he brings along his lovely assistant from the accounting firm as he travels into the swamps of Florida with the intent of whisking away two old high school buddies from their secret compound on Lake Phinney. In the world of spies and Neo-Nazis, at times it is difficult to know whom to trust or even right from wrong. In this second novel of the Just A.S.K. series by Martin T. Collins, our hero finds his niche as a troubled but capable warrior battling both bad guys and his own shortcomings.
Constructing Cuban America
How Black and white Cubans navigated issues of race, politics, and identity during the post-Civil War and early Jim Crow eras in South Florida. On July 4, 1876, during the centennial celebration of US independence, the city of Key West was different from other cities. In some of post–Civil War Florida, Black residents were hindered from participating in 4th of July festivities, but Key from participating in 4th of July festivities, but Key West's celebration, “led by a Cuban revolutionary mayor working in concert with a city council composed of Afro-Bahamians, Cubans, African Americans, and Anglos,” represented a profound exercise in interracial democracy amid the Radical Reconstructio...
Steeped in the Blood of Racism
On May 15, 1970, white police opened fire on students in front of a women's dormitory at Jackson State College, a historically black institution in Mississippi, killing two young people and injuring twelve. Frequently linked to the shootings at Kent State University ten days earlier, the violence at Jackson State was routinely misunderstood and largely forgotten by all but the local African American community.

Capital's Terrorists
Through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, employers and powerful individuals deployed a variety of tactics to control ordinary people as they sought to secure power in and out of workplaces.

This book draws together the groups engaged in this kind of violence, reimagining the original Ku Klux Klan, various L...
Hamburgers & Homicide
Bluebonnet Trails Bike Race is coming up and Poppy is laser-focused on getting her food truck ready for the crowds. Her tireless assistant, Kim, is there every step of the way—creating recipes, sourcing ingredients, and spending hot Texas days in what amounts to a large metal box—until a wrong step sends her to the hospital with a broken leg. Afraid she is going to miss out on the race crowds, Poppy quickly hires a temporary assistant. Everything is back on track until her new help stumbles out of the food truck, a kitchen knife plunged in her gut. She manages to utter one word before passing—“Poppy.” Now Poppy is again without an assistant, and people aren’t exactly lining up to help, considering previous help ended up in the hospital and morgue, respectively. Oh, and there is the little problem that half the town now believes she is a murderer. Fans of Aurora Teagarden will love this spunky, young sleuth. Poppy’s Food Truck Mysteries do not contain graphic violence, gore, strong language, or cliffhangers. Bonus content includes a recipe for Poppy’s Lone Star Burger with Pecan-Cilantro Pesto and Crunchy Southwestern Relish.
Racial Beachhead
In 1917, Fort Ord was established in the tiny subdivision of Seaside, California. Over the course of the 20th century, it held great national and military importance—a major launching point for World War II operations, the first base in the military to undergo complete integration, the West Coast's most important training base for draftees in the Vietnam War, a site of important civil rights movements—until its closure in the 1990s. Alongside it, the city of Seaside took form. Racial Beachhead offers the story of this city, shaped over the decades by military policies of racial integration in the context of the ideals of the American civil rights movement. Middle class blacks, together w...
