Transfixed
TransfixedBy Lisa McIntyreLisa McIntyre was born, apparently a boy, in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1964. She grew up just outside Glasgow in a tough working-class area of Scotland. The boy 'Alan', like many other teenagers in that environment, discovered alcohol, drugs and violence, and became an active member of one of the many street gangs that were rife in that area of Scotland during the 1970s and 1980s. Bloody street flights, knife crime and domestic violence at home were commonplace.This isn't what makes Lisa's story remarkable. The remarkable part of the story is that she knew from an early age, and during her time in the gangs that, the male body she inhabited never felt comfortable; in f...

Bobby Foster, carhop at the chic Cafe Comedie, is going to the gas chamber. He's already confessed to the murder of Tracy Kostakos, the club's rising star. But two years after the crime, Tracy's body is still missing and Bobby's confession is full of holes. All Souls Legal Cooperative's final appeal sends San Francisco's number one PI Sharon McCone behind the footlights into the super-charged arena of anxious club owners and aspiring young hopefuls, into the fractured world of Tracy's privileged family and the mind of a young comedienne who was not the good little girl they thought they knew, and into a labyrinth of death and deception where someone will kill to laugh last and get away with murder.

The Nation Reborn
After progressive world leaders crush the economy, leading to the brink of war, a nanotechnology- enhanced Chinese virus was released on the world. Humanity was swept away by the worst plague in human history, killing 95% of humans on Earth. The plague begins to subside, and survivors peek out at a completely changed world. Mike Broehm leads a neighborhood in Central Kentucky, surrounded by a remarkable cast of characters, to begin rebuilding America based on Founding Father principles. Besides the challenges of obtaining everyday necessities for himself and his neighbors, Mike must navigate his new role as leader of a diverse group of people while dealing with threats of anarchy and the inevitable rise of power-hungry despots. It is a completely new world, without many of the support systems people have depended upon for generations. Fortunately, Mike has the help of several brilliant minds, superior military leadership and training, and people that have studied and understand history. Will this be enough to overcome man's tendency toward savagery in a world without rules or someone to enforce them?
Marcia Muller and the Female Private Eye
In 1977, Marcia Muller invaded the all-male domain of detective literature and within a decade was established as the mother of the female hardboiled private eye. She is now the author of four detective series, including the critically acclaimed Sharon McCone series of more than two dozen novels. This collection critically assesses Marcia Muller's writing and reevaluates current critical views on women's detective fiction in general. In the first two of the book's three sections, essays explore Muller's engagement with modern and postmodern feminism, ethnicity, and the socially underprivileged. The third section focuses on one of Muller's major themes, the trauma of history. Drawing from the feminist, historicist, mythic, psychoanalytic, and cultural approaches found in all three sections, the conclusion offers a panoramic perspective on Muller's accomplishments.
