The Silence of the Archive
Foreword by Anne J Gilliland, University of California Evaluating archives in a post-truth society. In recent years big data initiatives, not to mention Hollywood, the video game industry and countless other popular media, have reinforced and even glamorized the public image of the archive as the ultimate repository of facts and the hope of future generations for uncovering ‘what actually happened’. The reality is, however, that for all sorts of reasons the record may not have been preserved or survived in the archive. In fact, the record may never have even existed – its creation being as imagined as is its contents. And even if it does exist, it may be silent on the salient facts, or...

Barely Breathing
Julianna Foudree figured out at an early age that love was a pipe dream, and that romance existed only in the movies. Becoming a widow had brought her to the end of a miserable, abusive marriage, and her precious son and daughter were grown. She was looking forward to a new life on her own—a new job, new home, new freedom. Peter Bellamy made his living mastering the mechanics of love and romance, and anyone who bought a ticket could watch him fill a big screen with it. This Montana rancher’s son deserved everything a popular Hollywood leading man could hope for. He had paid his dues! So why couldn’t he relax and enjoy it? Through a series of unlikely encounters, these two became skilled at rubbing each other the wrong way. How could this most irritating, egotistical man force Juli’s darkest fear to the surface? Certainly not the fear of being abused or mistreated. She knew how to handle that. But coming to the realization that she deserved to be truly loved was more frightening than anything. Juliana Foudree needed to embrace her own significance—and Peter Bellamy was determined to see that she did.
