My Diary of the Great War 1917-1919
All's Fair is the story of Ben Coulter, a thirty-something drama professor dealing with the death of his wife. Although ruled accidental, Ben is convinced that her death was suicide provoked by the theft of her business by Taylor Duckworth, a ruthless businessman who operates at the edge of the law. With the help of Allison Merryweather, whose family's business was stolen by the same thief, the professor puts his theatrical skills to work with a con of his own to get even with the crook. Allison uses Duckworth's penchant for seducing young women, to set up the con. She becomes the old lecher's social companion, playing his kinky games. During a yacht trip to Bermuda with Duckworth, a major unexpected element converts the con game into a desperate race against time. Drug smuggling pirates board Duckworth's yacht. He offers them enormous sums of money to spare his life. They agree, but take Allison as collateral, thinking that she is his young wife. Duckworth has a week to get the cash together. Now it's up to Ben Coulter and his best friend, Curt Donovan, to find Allison and save her life.

The Thinking Cat
Inside my father's bowler hat/ Once lived a most peculiar cat. So begins The Thinking Cat, a long poem, composed in rhyming couplets, about a young boy and the mysterious talking cat living in the attic of his family's home. The family uses the attic as a place to store unwanted items, including the less-than-desirable trinkets bestowed upon them by a great aunt. When the aunt comes to call, the boy volunteers to go up to the top of the house to fetch down all the unwanted gifts so that they can be on display during her visit. However, the boy opens the trapdoor to the attic to find a large pair of green eyes staring back at him-eyes belonging to a cat who not only speaks, but claims to be a great thinker. The boy fetches the cat some milk, sits down to listen to his tale, and a very special relationship is born. Exploring the differences between real life and imagination, growing up, and the role animals play in our lives, The Thinking Cat will delight anyone who has ever wished their pet could talk-and makes an excellent bedtime story for adults and children alike.

The Playfulness of Gerard Manley Hopkins
Renowned Hopkins expert Joseph J. Feeney, SJ, offers a fresh take on Gerard Manley Hopkins that begins the next phase in Hopkins studies. In both his poetry and prose Feeney discovers a distinctive playfulness inextricably bound to Hopkins's creativity, style, and poetic competitiveness-even, strikingly, in The Wreck of the Deutschland and the Terrible Sonnets. No one who absorbs these radical readings will ever see his poems the same way.
