And Be My Love
Billy Robbins is single and in his thirties. He makes his living as a writer… and when he’s not writing, he’s a passionate lover of women. Most dolls can’t say “no” to him and, of course, Billy likes it that way… which may explain why he’s thrown for a loop when he meets Varna. Billy falls hard for Varna, a beautiful yet elusive Eurasian woman who is not swayed by his charms at all. Varna gives him the brush-off hard, but Billy knows he’s already a goner. A gangster named Tony Di Marco has also fallen hard for a dame. Her name is Kay. But, Kay has other ideas. She wants Billy… and she’s used to getting what she wants. Kay tricks Billy into going to Las Vegas with her where she easily manages to get him drunker than drunk. Before long, and before he knows what’s happening, Billy and Kay are married. The bride is happy; the groom knows they are now dead… because Tony won’t be happy when he learns of this event. Tony’s rage sets Billy on the run. Will he run forever… or will he stop and force a showdown?

As Larry turned 19 in December 1967, battles intensified and his letters darkened, casting doubt on his promise to return home. Decades after the war, as he lay in a coma, Tracy read her brother's letters in full and vowed to uncover the whole truth of his war. What she learned makes the case for generational trauma in the mental health realm: children do not belong in war, nor should they watch one unfold on television.
Gold-Mining Boomtown
The town of White Oaks, New Mexico Territory, was born in 1879 when prospectors discovered gold at nearby Baxter Mountain. In Gold-Mining Boomtown, Roberta Key Haldane offers an intimate portrait of the southeastern New Mexico community by profiling more than forty families and individuals who made their homes there during its heyday. Today, fewer than a hundred people live in White Oaks. Its frontier incarnation, located a scant twenty-eight miles from the notorious Lincoln, is remembered largely because of its association with famous westerners. Billy the Kid and his gang were familiar visitors to the town. When a popular deputy was gunned down in 1880, the citizens resolved to rid their c...
