Madam
When vice had a legal home and jazz was being born—the captivating story of an infamous true-life madam New Orleans, 1900. Mary Deubler makes a meager living as an “alley whore.” That all changes when bible-thumping Alderman Sidney Story forces the creation of a red-light district that’s mockingly dubbed “Storyville.” Mary believes there’s no place for a lowly girl like her in the high-class bordellos of Storyville’s Basin Street, where Champagne flows and beautiful girls turn tricks in luxurious bedrooms. But with gumption, twists of fate, even a touch of Voodoo, Mary rises above her hopeless lot to become the notorious Madame Josie Arlington. Filled with fascinating historical details and cameos by Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and E. J. Bellocq, Madam is a fantastic romp through The Big Easy and the irresistible story of a woman who rose to power long before the era of equal rights.

The Physics of Emotions
Emotions are energy and they are subjected to the same Laws of Physics as other forms of energy. Here, in these profound pages, author Cari Lynn Vaughn explores this idea in depth. First, she discusses the language of emotions and the neurochemistry involved. Slowly, she moves into the world of Physics. From Thermodynamics to Electrodynamics, there are lessons everywhere. Touching upon Quantum Physics and String Theory, Vaughn considers how all these fields converge into a new unified theory about our inner world. In the last section of the book, Vaughn explores the Ocean as Metaphor, discovering new ideas in Oceanography, The Composition of Sea Water, Marine Biology, Diving and Surfing, among others. This book is part educational and part inspirational, but it is all enjoyable. It is meant to be a poetic journey that is as practical as it is poetic. It will change the way you think and perhaps even change your life.
