Mountain Hands
Hazel Pendley creates heirloom-quality quilts. Ed Ripley wraps bits of fur and feathers into trout flies the size of gnats. Edna Hartong still makes an item that has all but disappeared from the American scene: lye soap. All of these people, and many more like them, are Appalachians who work with their hands. Journalist Sam Venable and photographer Paul Efird spent four years combing the hills and hollows of Southern Appalachia to find these talented individuals and let them talk about their work. Mountain Hands is an intimate look at more than three dozen such craftspeople and their vocations. Venable and Efird encountered folks who pursue popular crafts, such as basketweaving and clockmaki...
Trouble in Tombstone Town
Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, has finally made it to southeastern Arizona, land of sunshine and warmth, and steeped in the history of the Apaches and the Cavalry, legendary lawmen, outlaws and gunfights. Peregrine Ebenezer (Ben) Alvord, Minnie’s nineteenth century ghost companion, is enthralled with tales of the Old West, and Minnie promises him a trip to Tombstone, home of the Gunfight at the OK Corral and Boothill Graveyard! Shortly after setting out her pink flamingos at Tombstone Tommy’s RV Park, Minnie meets a fellow female RVer who invites herself along on the outing. But a reenactment gunfight gone terribly wrong and the disappearance of her new friend, Kathy, threaten to ruin Minnie’s plans for fun under the sun. Each story in the series can stand alone, but to avoid extensive repetition of the backstory, the books would be best read in order.

STUNT GIRL
Valerie Patrick is a stunt model working on a movie being filmed in the Smokey mountains. She subs for the star when the routines become hazardous. In college she was on the gymnastics team. A superb athlete, she nearly made the 2004 Olympic Squad. For her, it was a natural transition from gymnastics to stunt work. A mob boss hired a hitman to murder his major competitor. Although Valerie was in the next room while they were planning the hit, she could not hear any of the details. When the murder was announced on the national news, the mob boss became worried that she may remember the meeting and tell the authorities about it. To remove her as a potential witness, he hired the same hitman to rub her out. The plan was to make her death appear accidental. Because of her athleticism and dexterity, she avoided the initial attempts to kill her. The assassin decided to forget the subtle approach and resort to a more direct tactic, firearms, or explosives.

The Pentagram
The man's grip was even stronger than her Father's, the single hand both choking and lifting her. Her lungs were burning for air, and her feet no longer touched the ground. Blood pounded in her ears, and her heart beat as if it would burst from her chest. When she sensed the man carrying her toward the cluster of evergreens she tried to fight, but her feet, dangling in the air, gave no force to the kicks. A cascade of snow, dislodged from a pine branch, fell down the back of her jacket as the man pulled her into the trees. In a few moments the blowing and drifting snow had hidden the tracks on the sidewalk. Kathleen Swanson, forever fourteen, became The Butcher's first victim. Once again a serial killer stalks Millerton's streets. Matthew Goeser must find the killer quickly, but there are no clues, no motive, and no pattern. And Matt is scheduled to be the next victim.
Living When Everything Changed
In this compelling memoir, Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault describes how a Catholic girl from small-town Nebraska discovered her callings as a feminist, as an academic, and as a university administrator. With remarkable candor and compassion, she reflects on how second-wave feminism has transformed academia and how much reform is still needed.
