Work and Faith in the Kentucky Coal Fields
Exploring themes of work and labor in everyday life, Richard J. Callahan, Jr., offers a history of how coal miners and their families lived their religion in eastern Kentucky's coal fields during the early 20th century. Callahan follows coal miners and their families from subsistence farming to industrial coal mining as they draw upon religious idioms to negotiate changing patterns of life and work. He traces innovation and continuity in religious expression that emerged from the specific experiences of coal mining, including the spaces and social structures of coal towns, the working bodies of miners, the anxieties of their families, and the struggle toward organized labor. Building on oral histories, folklore, folksongs, and vernacular forms of spirituality, this rich and engaging narrative recovers a social history of ordinary working people through religion.

Brent coined the phrase, "Nightmare Success" because everything you want is on the other side of fear. What key will unlock the prison of your mind and set you free?
In the Blood
Manipulation is the name of the game. Captain Jamie Callahan is running out of time in his efforts to outsmart an enemy metahuman. His father’s presidential campaign is ramping up, and Jamie’s top secret identity as a metahuman himself is at risk of being revealed by the enemy, to say nothing of his secret relationship with Staff Sergeant Kyle Brannigan. As Alpha Team’s long-running mission gets derailed in the worst way possible, Staff Sergeant Alexei Dvorkin discovers the enemy is playing for keeps, and neither he nor Agent Sean Delaney are in any position to escape what’s in store for them. But the other side has made one mistake that Jamie, Alexei, and Alpha Team are more than willing to exploit—you don’t mess with family unless you want to get hurt. In the Blood is the fourth book in an M/M military science fiction fantasy series full of found family themes, a fake relationship, and a forbidden spicy romance for fans of Vicious by VE Schwab and Marvel’s X-Men and Avengers. The series should be read in order.

It is 2014, and the United States is only a shell of its former self. After years of careful and methodical planning, the military has just pulled off a deadly coup that leaves every politician and government official dead. As the remaining super powers turn on each other, they begin destroying what is left of the civilized world. After a year of unrest, self-proclaimed president Jonas Bennett rules the American Republic with an iron fist and no regard for the US Constitution. He leaves the citizens of North America with only two choices: submit to him and his evil army of traitors, or fight for freedom. Joe Randall, his wife, and their children watch in horror as their world disappears before their eyes, and they wish for only one thing to live in peace in their North Carolina home. But fate has a different plan in mind for Randall; he soon realizes it is up to him and his liberty-loving patriots to take up arms against the new regime. America is the gripping story of a courageous freedom fighter caught up in an unforgettable battle of good versus evil as he battles against a superior force to save the only world he has ever known from destruction.
