Convergence on the 42nd Parallel
TWO PEOPLE. TWO GLOBAL SUPERPOWERS. ONE DATE WITH DESTINY. Set two strong characters on a collision course in a rapidly converging story, mix-in a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier on a week-long visit to an allied port, add local politicians, activists, and the media - and the ingredients are there for an epic edge-of-your-seat suspense-thriller with a climax and ending you won't see coming. 'The pilot raised her helmet visor, and his seething eyes locked in on hers. She shook her head from side to side and made a slashing motion across her throat...' Is Lieutenant Commander Katherine Marlowe about to make a catastrophic mistake? Is Ben Cai’s unthinkable mission destined to succeed? Their next s...
Everything Is Something Else
"Born of "Roman blood and forged in Celtic fire," Everything Is Something Else is poetry as memoir as it seeks to explore key aspects of identity: the Italia, the Irish, and the Queer. This passionate and provocative collection spans 30 years and is a selection of new, unpublished, and previously published poems from the author's acclaimed 2009 chapbook, Supplications. The poet is a stor-teller, no doubt, with an impeccable ability to weave lyrical recollections with bold -and at times- cutting images. The book is divided into three sections -Irish, Italian, and Queer but memory is the connective tissue through this sprawling collection that reveals much about our human need for story-tellin...
Calling WPC Crockford
In the early 1950s, the Berkshire Constabulary finally opened its ranks to more women. And WPC Crockford was one of those early pioneers... When 21-year-old Gwendoline Crockford signed up to join the Berkshire Constabulary in 1951, she had little idea of what she was getting herself into. Whether carrying a human skeleton out of the woods, finding a missing child, investigating thefts, or chasing an escaped zebra, every day brought fresh adventures. In this nostalgic, tender and honest account of post-war British society, we follow a bright, determined woman navigating a man’s world, serving as many people as she can. From performing traffic duties to unravelling a dark secret at the heart of an impoverished family, WPC Crockford’s career was full of joy, thrills – and heartbreak. Written by her daughter Ruth, this is the story of a real-life woman police constable as she embarks on her police career.
Feeling History
Feeling History is a study of apostrophe (i.e., the rhetorical device in which the narrator talks directly to his characters) in Lucan's Bellum Civile. Through the narrator's direct addresses, irony, and grotesque imagery, Lucan appears not as a nihilist, but as a character deeply concerned about ethics. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how Lucan's style represents a criticism of the Roman approach to history, epic, ethics, and aesthetics. The book's chief interest lies in the ethical and moral stance that the poet-narrator takes toward his characters and his audience. To this end, Francesca D'Alessandro Behr studies the ways in which the narrator communicates ethical and moral jud...

Stanley Kubrick and Me
This intimate portrait by his former personal assistant and confidante reveals the man behind the legendary filmmaker—for the first time. Stanley Kubrick, the director of a string of timeless movies from Lolita and Dr. Strangelove to A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, and others, has always been depicted by the media as the Howard Hughes of filmmakers, a weird artist obsessed with his work and privacy to the point of madness. But who was he really? Emilio D'Alessandro lets us see. A former Formula Ford driver who was a minicab chauffeur in London during the Swinging Sixties, he took a job driving a giant phallus through the city that became his introduction to th...
Brooklyn Birth
This verbal travelogue captures the discovery of my one and only romantic dream love, the breathtaking and exciting births of my children and grandchildren, and it chronicles the joy and lessons that I've learned from thousands of students and teachers that I was blessed to have taught and trained.
Brooklyn Birth
I tapped my fingers rhythmically as I waited my turn to speak at Dr. Ray Heitzman''s annual writers' conference at Villanova University. The speaker behind the podium captivated me when talking about the legacy of his writing. To paraphrase him, he noted that when he was gone, he did not want children, grandchildren, loved ones, friends and others interested in him or his body of work, to waste time and energy trying to find him in a stone-filled memorial park. If they wanted to find him, he suggested that they rummage his writings, both published and unpublished. Those words provoked me to write this book filled with my poetry. So many of my ideas had been securely folded up and stored away...
Confessions at Midnight
Carolyn Turner, Viscountess Wingate, is absolutely shocked by the Ladies Literary Society of London's latest selection. Memoirs of a Mistress is scandalously explicit and downright wicked . . . and it's stirring feelings within Carolyn that she hasn't felt . . . well, ever! She's sure that this steamy read is the only reason she's succumbing to the charms of notorious rogue Daniel Sutton, Lord Surbrooke. She couldn't possibly be falling for the rascal and his illicit caresses . . . or could she? The last thing Daniel wanted was to be shackled by marriage vows. He lusted after Carolyn, sure, but he never imagined that once he lured her to his bed he'd never want to let her go. Yet only when a murderer targets his beloved will he be spurred to confess his true love . . . and claim Carolyn as his bride.
