South of the Border
“In a space of blackness beyond black, a place of nothingness that was eternal and timeless, I was scattered into a rainbow of light. I had experienced an ecstasy with him that was a song to my higher Self. During our love making, we became a sacrament of bread and wine. I loved him then, now, and always. I could finally rest.” ~Eleanora Fredrickson~ Captured by a love, that both Eleanora Fredrickson and Stefan Gregory struggle to understand in the context of what their lives have been before, they both come to a realization of what might be between them, and both are astonished by the beauty of their very passionate, and very deep love. She is a sixty-five year old psychiatrist, and he is a fifty year old endocrinologist. Both brilliant, both world famous, and both cemented into their own lives. They meet for the first time at a faculty function for the School of Medicine at a southern California university. An instantaneous love carries them both on a journey of self discovery. Told in two voices.

Magnolia Dances
Grief, heart shattering, soul searching, dark nights alone, grief. Grief has a strange way of making one whole; whole in ways that all the happiness in the world cannot ever do for one. And, wholeness only comes after grief is faced with all of the self/Self. If one avoids the process, the gold of wholeness is never achieved. I did not know in 2001, while I was falling in love, that I would eventually go on a journey to wholeness; all I knew, at that time, was that I was not loved in return, that I could never be loved in return, and there was nothing I could do to change this. For some reason, at that point in my life, either due to age, or circumstance, I decided to walk on the rock filled path of grief to see where it might lead me. What resulted was wholeness, and Magnolia Dances, a poetic diary of unrequited love. For if we never face love in all of its glory and devastation, but only fear love, and run from it, who are we after all? The heart can only grow with tears that are allowed to fall...falling in love, magnolia dancing, flying home. "Magnolia Dances" is now available for purchase from Xlibris.

Excavations at the Seila Pyramid and Fag el-Gamous Cemetery
In Excavations at the Seila Pyramid and Fag el-Gamous Cemetery, the excavation team provides crucial information about the Old Kingdom and Graeco-Roman Egypt. While both periods have been heavily studied, Kerry Muhlestein and his contributors provide new archaeological information that will help shape thinking about these eras. The construction and ritual features of the early Fourth Dynasty Seila Pyramid represents innovations that would influence royal funerary cult for hundreds of years. Similarly, as one of the largest excavated cemeteries of Egypt, Fag el-Gamous helps paint a picture of multi-cultural life in the Fayoum of Egypt during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Excavations there provide a statistically impactful understanding of funerary customs under the influence of new cultures and religion.
Aeneid Book VI
In a momentous publication, Seamus Heaney's translation of Book VI of the Aeneid, Virgil's epic poem composed sometime between 29 and 19 BC, follows the hero, Aeneas, on his descent into the underworld. In Stepping Stones, a book of interviews conducted by Dennis O'Driscoll, Heaney acknowledged the importance of the poem to his writing, noting that 'there's one Virgilian journey that has indeed been a constant presence, and that is Aeneas's venture into the underworld. The motifs in Book VI have been in my head for years - the golden bough, Charon's barge, the quest to meet the shade of the father.' In this new translation, Heaney employs the same deft handling of the original combined with the immediacy of language and flawless poetic voice as was on show in his translation of Beowulf, a reimagining which, in the words of Bernard O'Donoghue, brought the ancient poem back to life in 'a miraculous mix of the poem's original spirit and Heaney's voice'.
Haughey
With exclusive access to the Haughey archives, Gary Murphy presents a reassessment of Charles Haughey's life and legacy. Saint or sinner? Charles Haughey was, depending on whom you ask, either the great villain of Irish political life or the benevolent and forward-thinking saviour of a benighted nation. He was undoubtedly the most talented and influential politician of his generation, yet the very roots of his success – his charisma, his intelligence, his ruthlessness, his secrecy – have rendered almost impossible any objective evaluation of his life and work. That is, until now. Based on unfettered access to Haughey's personal archives, as well as extensive interviews with more than eig...
