Incident at Devil's Finger
On a beautiful June day, the famous performance artist Magnifica is set to jump from a helicopter and parachute down through the Red Rock Pinnacle monuments of Sedona, Arizona. What the large and excited crowd sees instead is the massive explosion and collapse of Devil’s Finger, a thousand-foot Red Rock pinnacle. Art sleuth Julian Peale is on the case, looking where the authorities are not—into the mysterious artworld ties to Magnifica. There’s a New York art patron, the Wall Street gambler, a cyberpunk hack, a Russian art dealer with mob ties, two rival tech millionaires, and a wealthy hippy still living in the Age of Aquarius. The artist Magnifica—Mary Saville by birth—has retrea...
Golden Rule Days
Superintendent of Middlefield Schools, Colin Winslow, suffers an allergic reaction while driving home from a school board meeting. He uses an epinephrine injector device he is testing for his inventor friend, John Burns, but to no avail. Winslow collapses and dies as his car smashes the railroad crossing gates and collides with a train. New York detective Rick Canyon is rousted out of bed by Roger Greenfield to go to the accident scene at the request of Winslow's wife, Alex. Coroner Bill Crandell's autopsy shows that chocolate milk Winslow had been drinking was laced with penicillin, to which Winslow was highly allergic. Glen Abner, the school district's treasurer, is arrested. He gave Winsl...
The Preah Secrets
More is going on than meets the eye in the Port Royal Exotic Animal Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility in a wealthy community in southwest Florida. Dr. Carston Spencer and his wife Madison, who own the hospital, are prominent residents in Port Royal, but few know the skeletons in their closets. Carston kicked a drug addiction that cost his former wife and children, although he’s stayed sober for 14 years, and Madison is considering an affair with a hot young cowboy who works at the hospital, although she’d prefer to wait until her divorce is final. A trial over who killed a staff member’s father may put even more pressure on those at the hospital as rumors of an incestuous affair involving two sisters and their father lie at the heart of their self-defense claim. Friendships and deals between prominent doctors, a high-powered real estate agency, state’s attorney, sheriff’s deputy, businessmen, ranch hands, and an exotic bird breeder mean anything can happen. The PREAH Secrets, inspired by real events, takes readers on a wild ride of secrets, sex, murder and deceit, with one twist after another until the dramatic conclusion.

The Language of Theatre
Theatre has provided many words and meanings which we use - ignorant of their origins - in everyday writing and speech. This is the first book to explore 2,000 theatre terms in depth, in some cases tracing their history over two and a half millenia, in others exploring expressions less than a decade old. Terms are defined, shown in use and cross-referenced in ways which will fascinate theatre-goers, help theatre students and encourage those engaged in the theatre to examine the familiar from new angles.

The Musical
The musical, whether on stage or screen, is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable musical genres, yet one of the most perplexing. What are its defining features? How does it negotiate multiple socio-cultural-economic spaces? Is it a popular tradition? Is it a commercial enterprise? Is it a sophisticated cultural product and signifier? This research guide includes more than 1,400 annotated entries related to the genre as it appears on stage and screen. It includes reference works, monographs, articles, anthologies, and websites related to the musical. Separate sections are devoted to sub-genres (such as operetta and megamusical), non-English language musical genres in the U.S., traditions outside the U.S., individual shows, creators, performers, and performance. The second edition reflects the notable increase in musical theater scholarship since 2000. In addition to printed materials, it includes multimedia and electronic resources.
