The Journal of James A. Brush
Editors Karen Racine and Graham Lloyd provide extensive insight into the Mina expedition during the revolution of Mexican independence as captured in the journal of James A. Brush. General Xavier Mina believed that the best way to overthrow tyranny in Spain was to fight for the independence of the American colonies. A Scottish officer who fought with the British army against Napoleon, Brush joined Mina in 1815 and set sail to Mexico thereafter. Available in English for the first time, this primary document detailing the experiences of the expedition provides a firsthand account of the personalities, the events, and the social world as it was, as well as descriptions of some of the major figures of Mexico's independence era. Racine and Lloyd contextualize Brush's journal with informative notes, annotations, and appendices that include letters, song lyrics, and decrees, giving readers a broader context for the events described. The result is a fascinating look into a significant episode of Mexico's War for Independence.

A Brush with Love
Legal secretary Fern can't quite believe her luck when posh barrister James Carver takes a shine to her. With her mahogany brown hair - 'I blend in with the office furniture' - and green eyes, she doesn't feel in any way special. After all, a typing speed of 60wpm and a failed artistic career hardly make her a catch. Flattered and thrilled at the attention, Fern is smitten, even when James turns out to have some very strange habits. When will Fern see that he is a total rat? When she gets the sack - for slapping a judge - or when she realizes he's already got a girlfriend? With her family breaking apart and her love life in disarray, Fern refuses to see the truth about James - or about herself, and why she's running away from a man who really loves her... Told with wit and zing and peopled with terrific characters, A Brush with Love introduces a major new talent in popular fiction writing.
A Place Without a Postcard
Paul Reynolds, a photographer who creates fake photos for tabloid magazines, wakes up with no idea where he is or how he got there. He can t even recall his name. A strange man lurks nearby, breathing heavily and slowly flipping through a book. Paul hears the man s breath, but he cannot see him. He realizes with mounting panic that his eyes no longer function. He remembers racing down a desolate West Texas highway. He remembers a cop who pulled him over for speeding. He remembers a shotgun-brandishing cook chasing him out of a diner. And he remembers a life abandoned, but he cannot put together the jigsaw puzzle that brought him where he is: blind, wanted by the law, and in the company of this invisible stranger. In the backcountry town of Armbister, Texas, where temperatures hover around a hellish 110 degrees, Paul s memory, intangible as a heat mirage, lies just beyond his reach, and God may be a coyote.
