Jacob's Hope
Jacob, having been cast out of the only life he has ever known, embarks on a journey to the land of his mother's ancestry. It is an arduous journey filled with danger and intrigue, in which Jacob is forced to make a choice to remain consistent to his calling. It is an epic story of love and hate, trickery and deceit, and ultimately the triumph of good over evil. Jacob's Hope is the promise of God to make his descendants into a great nation. God not only proves faithful to Jacob, but has remained faithful to the nation of Israel even today. This is Jacob's story.
Women Making History
In 1973, Jocelyn Cohen and Nancy Poore established Helaine Victoria Press to publish women's history postcards. Spurred by the energy of the second wave feminist movement, they learned how to research histories buried in old books and archives and how to print on a vintage letterpress. The press attracted more participants, closing only in 1991 in response to changing communication technologies. Drawing on feminist and material rhetorics, the authors of Women Making History demonstrate that, by creating postcards, Helaine Victoria Press aimed to do more than provide a convenient writing surface or even affect collective memory; instead, they argue, the press generated feminist memory. The ca...

The Sevarian Chronicles
The Sevarian Chronicles By: James Gurtner This is a tale about two alien families secretly living among us. Aliens only because they arrived here from different worlds. Both families are dedicated to helping their human brethren confront the threat of a third, non-human alien species intent on exploiting Earth. The complicated relationship among the three human species - Severian, Taritian, and Terrestrial - is the focus of this uplifting sci-fi story.

Separation Anxiety
This poignant debut by Gavin Bradley explores the emotional toll of different kinds of separation: from a partner, a previously held sense of self, or a home and the people left behind. The main narrative describes the deterioration of a long-term relationship, interweaving poems dealing with the loneliness of immigration and the anxiety of separation from Northern Ireland, the poet’s homeland. These personal poems enter their stories through a variety of characters and places, from dock builders to dogs, from shorelines to volcanoes, to “mouths soft and humming like beehives.” Other sections of the collection examine a post-Troubles’ experience in Northern Ireland (evoking the lived-experience of growing up with bombs and domineering Catholicism), tell grandfather stories, and show a lasting love for the people, the language, and the land. Separation Anxiety ultimately conveys a message of hope, reminding us that “we’ll be remembered for / ourselves, and not the spaces we / leave behind.”
