Raincloud
In the politically charged city of Norhaven, believers of the ancient Lord Prosperous, the Alpha and Omega Spirits, face persecution due to the powers that those beliefs grant them. Fifteen year old Rain Nazeroth knows all about this - his alcoholic father hates spirits and supports anything that will cause their downfall. Despite the spirits' duty to protect mankind no matter what discrimination they face, the Omega Spirits, led by the vile Queen Z, decide to rebel with a bioterrorist threat that will wreck the city. The only way the Alpha Spirits can stop them is under the leadership of their predetermined messiah - Rain. But can they convince him to be their leader, despite the fact that his father would disown him, and his best friend, Kendo Holifax, is the young man destined to be his enemy as the messiah of the Omega Spirits? A young adult fantasy with a deep perspective on social struggle, Raincloud will challenge your perspective, and free your mind at will.

The Tangled Web of Wicca
I am a Traditionalist. A Traditional Wiccan High Priestess Witch. I am not a person with an Ivy League education. Nor am I a scholar with 6 or 7 degrees! I do not speak any language other than English, a few choice Spanish words and some pig latin. I don't use big fancy words where you have to have a dictionary to read the book and I don't use long, complicated sentences that you have to read 16 times to understand what I'm saying. I'm not a professional writer and even if I were, I felt this book needed to be written where anyone could read it without any difficulty no matter the level of reading one does or how long they've been on the path of Wicca. Most people will agree there have been ...
The Low Desert
Raymond Carver meets Elmore Leonard in this extraordinary collection of contemporary crime writing set in the critically acclaimed Gangsterland universe, a series called "gloriously original" by The New York Times Book Review. With gimlet-eyed cool and razor-sharp wit, these spare, stylish stories from a master of modern crime fiction assemble a world of gangsters and con men, of do-gooders breaking bad and those caught in the crossfire. The uncle of an FBI agent spends his life as sheriff in different cities, living too close to the violent acts of men; a cocktail waitress moves through several desert towns trying to escape the unexplainable loss of an adopted daughter; a drug dealer with a penchant for karaoke meets a talkative lawyer and a silent clown in a Palm Springs bar. Witty, brutal, and fast-paced, these stories expand upon the saga of Chicago hitman-turned-Vegas-rabbi Sal Cupertine--first introduced in Gangsterland and continued in Gangster Nation--while revealing how the line between good and bad is often a mirage.

Creative Composites
“Creative Composites provides an intelligent, rigorous account of several under-examined figures who gathered around the photographer Alfred Stieglitz and played important roles in the first American avant-garde. Drawing on rich archival sources, Lauren Kroiz revisits the cultural debates of the period and constructs an intricate and convincing comparative analysis of the role that gender, race and ethnicity, and cultural nationalism played in the construction of American modernism. This important historical and interpretive text represents a much-needed contribution not only to the history of American art but also to American social and cultural history.”—Marcia Brennan, author of Cur...
