Margo Solod's Cuttyhunk: Life on the Rock contains a suite of galvanizing stories from her 15 years as staffer, innkeeper and cook of the Allen House, Cuttyhunk's finest (and only) inn. This book is essentially a love story, the kind that, like the best love, comes complete with recipes. The kind of love story that encompasses a barefoot Jackie Kennedy; Gertrude, a bloody 378-lb swordfish kept on ice in a bathtub; Jesse-the-dog and Tom-the-cat-not-to-be-trifled-with; and any number of ways to cook a lobster. Vivid, colorful, and touching, this memoir is well worth the reading and cooking time.
It starts with a single bomb, a vehicle IED that devastates Whitehall, the signal for hostilities to begin. As night falls, enemy paratroopers drop onto the Mall, their target, the British Prime Minister. As the capitals of Europe fall like dominoes, the caliphate war machine engulfs England. What remains of the UK’s armed forces head north, to an ancient border, where they must arm up, dig deep and prepare for the toughest battle of their lives, one that will mark the beginning of a far larger and more dangerous conflict. The INVASION UK SERIES takes readers on an adrenaline-fuelled, action-packed journey across a world plunged into global conflict. From the war-torn streets of London to the ice-capped mountains of the Himalayas, from the corridors of power in Washington DC to the marble palaces of a transformed Baghdad, the battle for political, military and ideological supremacy will sweep across the globe.
From Bushville: "The game is a fine construct. Its trace through anyone's life can range from a youthful diversion to a full-blown career, a tender small-fingered grasp to a deep muscular understanding. It provides a focus and a way to express the physical self in a physical world. I've played every moment of every game in my life as an amateur in the best sense of that word--doing something I love just for the love of it. The roots of that soulful effort run as deep as my earliest memories, measuring them. And possibly, yours likewise." To play baseball is to become part of the game. One need not be a megabuck star to live baseball as a participant, to figure into its geometry and its drama...

Author Joni B. Cole worries that Vlad the Impaler may be a distant cousin. She feuds with a dead medium.

At once irreverent and thought provoking, Cole's collection is a joy ride through eclectic essays that arrives smack on that sweet spot between soul searching and social commentary, between humor and heft.
