"The story of three locations in the United States--in Mississippi, Minnesota, and Oklahoma--where the Indigenous people were driven out by European colonists, where vicious racial killings took place in the last century, and how these places are coming to terms with the past, creating new organizations dedicated to racial repair and reconciliation as they aspire to a more inclusive, more promising future"--
THERE WAS SOMETHING IN HIS SPIRIT THAT MATCHED MINE. HE FELT LIKE A PART OF ME I'D FORGOTTEN, A PART THAT COULD GIVE ME LIFE OR TAKE MINE AWAY. Samantha Addison is still reeling a month later from the night of the Durant Ball. She's alive, but for how long? The faceless person threatening her life is still at large. Through all the chaos, Jackson Christy has been her constant protector. But that's about to change. Evidence has turned up that leads Samantha to question Jackson's motives. Is he who he says he is? Or has she been trusting the wrong man all along? Her heart says 'no' but the evidence says 'yes.' Samantha has one death-defying, endless night to prove once and for all if Jackson Christy is the hero of her story...or the villain. She won't stop until she knows, but finding the answer might just kill her.
Not Another Superhero is a fun, fast-paced mystery romance that always leaves you wanting more. You'll fall in love with Samantha Addison, a smart, snarky journalist turned puff-piece editor who's hiding from the injuries of her past. Starting with a harrowing scene in which Samantha is attacked by a mugger in an alley, our heroine's razor-sharp sarcasm flies off the pages. You'll discover that her wit is what keeps her going when this near-death experience turns out to be just the beginning of an all-out attack. But who's behind it? Strangely, Samantha can't remember how she managed to survive that initial brutal assault. Weirder still, a hooded man always appears and saves her just in the nick of time. And why has Trevor Maessen, her former editor during her beat reporter days, picked this moment to show up after leaving her during a traumatic episode seven years earlier? Amid all of this turmoil, the stoic Jackson Christy might be Samantha's saving grace-or not. Twists and turns, along with plenty of action, wit, and romance, make Not Another Superhero an irresistible chick-lit concoction you can't put down!

Noise is so often a 'stench in the ear' – an unpleasant disturbance or an unwelcome distraction. But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound. Beyond Unwanted Sound is about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise music, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon. Beyond Unwanted Sound instead aims to account for a broader spectrum of noise, ranging from the exceptional to the banal; the overwhelming to the inaudible; and the destructive to the generative. What connects these various and variable manifestations of noise is not negativity but affectivity. Building on the Spinozist assertion that to exist is to be affected, Beyond Unwanted Sound asserts that to exist is to be affected by noise.
