Corn-Fed
>At Huskerville High School, it's not a good idea to eat the cafeteria food, trust your government, or scoff at old Indian curses. Nothing less than the future of American public education is at stake as two teachers set out on a quest for the Holy Grail of education, the reason for declining test scores. Nothing you've ever read will quite prepare you for the roller coaster imagination of Larry Baldwin in his book, Corn-Fed. From treatises on the environment and the state of public education to the dirty business of political money-laundering and international finance, he tackles it all in a modern day Odyssey-like adventure stretching from France's Mississippi Valley Empire in 1700 to the gene-altering labs of the present. Buckle your safety belts!
I'm Not Single, I Have a Dog
At age 60, Susan Hartzler has learned to accept, even love, the single life, provided she has good friends and a dog or two by her side. Always attracted to the quintessential bad boy with his good looks and charming ways, she was sure she could change "the one" into a devoted partner and loving father, but her compulsive giving and fixing behaviors went hand in hand with her disappointing and disastrous romantic relationships. On a purposeful trip to the pound, she hoped to find a dog to care for, one that would sniff out the bad guys, give her a sense of purpose, and help her find meaning in her crazy world. Thoughtful and funny, this memoir follows Susan's life through the many ups and downs on her way to finding unconditional love. Her journey is a personal one, full of the hard decisions it took to learn to put herself first and stop entering and staying in unhealthy relationships. By saving a dog, she rescues herself, learning to love herself as much as her dog loves her.
Checked Out
Harris (Blood Feud, 2012) spins a rousing whodunit set in the lucrative supermarket business in this second series installment. Russell Riley, former president of the New England–-based Galetti Supermarkets, is back to sort out more familial unrest involving the greed and deceit running rampant throughout the “food brokerage business.” Unceremoniously fired after a three-decade tenure with Galetti Supermarkets for not keeping the business profitable throughout a “two-billion-dollar family food fight,” Riley receives a life-changing call from college-baseball buddy Bob Santone. Santone’s multistore Rhode Island supermarket family business, Food Basket, had been recently thrown int...
High Steaks

Those That I Guard
A small-town Police Chief is shot. Although his wound isnt serious, it was inflicted by his sister. It seems an inexplicable act and yet, as the Chief tells his wife, people always have a reason and its what sets things in motion and once things are set in motion, whats going to happen is simply going to happen. A novel of superbly realized characters and compelling dialogue, Those That I Guard explores this notion of inevitability, how we set things in motion, often without intent, and how our acts modify, and in turn are modified by, the lives of others. Our deeds go on and on, another character explains, like spreading ripples on a pond, pregnant with opportunity for unexpected others. As events move toward a crisis, the characters struggle to make sense of how their lives are defined, not only by their own acts or choices, but by their relationships with those around them. Some succeed and some do not, but everything that happens follows from that opening gunshot.
