Einstein's Road Trip: Winslow to Thibodaux and Beyond Feature

Magic Realism, Mystery, and Murder - An artist's fragile grasp on reality becomes more tenuous after he meets Albert Einstein on Arizona's high desert plateau. Maui artist Gilles Barker, his Hopi Indian cab driver and an illusory Albert Einstein are chased by a psychotic killer and his drug dealing boss across the deserts and bayous from Winslow Arizona to New Orleans's French Quarter in quest of lost love and a satchel's mysterious contents. Are Gilles's strange encounters and selective omniscience only in his imagination and dreams? Has he traveled through space and time? Gilles has grappled with these questions since two nights before his eighth Christmas, thirty years ago, when Ron from the planet Zargon first walked through his bedroom wall and told him of the true beginnings of life on earth - that fate is his only guide. Einstein's Road Trip is an off-beat literary fiction/urban fantasy among those on the finalists list for the Faulkner/Wisdom Creative Writing Competition. It is the second completed novel of a three book series.

Nothing in Particular Review

Nothing in Particular Feature

"Nothing in Particular" is a gut-wrenching look at the world of domestic violence and resultant community indifference, apathy and taboos.

Readers witness through Kiera's eyes the violence, terror, neglect, and rage that are her everyday life. Surly, defiant, and a tough punk/goth teenager, Kiera struggles through her daily hellish existence with the help of her ever faithful and goofy friends.

Mandy, Kiera's best girl friend, is the glue that holds the group together. Raised by a single mom, she's tough, self-reliant and has her own point of view. Max, a tall, brooding goth, is trying to get a band together, and make it through junior year without any major problems-- like detention. Andy, the red-headed human superball is the comic relief in almost any situation. Combined, these three are the most loyal friends that anyone could ask for and shine brightly into Kiera's dark and violent world.

Escaping the tiny, backwater Indiana town they live in is necessary to get their hands on any decent music. So, they take off for Wax Trax in Chicago every chance they get and have a blast when they discover after-hours at a club called Medusa's, widening their social experiences as well as social circles.

Kate LeDonne's first novel is a gripping read; once you've started, you'll want to know what happens next to Kiera and her friends.

Devil Child Feature

The plot revolves around three angry teenagers in a small, blue- collar town. Don Calhoun, the main character, is angry because he is a poor, pimply-faced teenage loner who yearns to be the most popular boy in school. Behind the pimply-faced exterior is a restless spirit seething with hate and revenge -- a deadly combination. It's the 60s and drugs and the free-love movement have taken hold in California. Through an acquaintance who has just returned from San Francisco, Don gets his hands on devil worship literature and a small wooden statue that was used in Satanic worship ceremonies. Don reads some of the literature, and concludes that selling his soul is the only way he can possibly realize his dream. But he really doesn't think it's possible. Across town lives another angry, miserable teen. His name is Eddie, and all he wants is to become the greatest rock-'n'-roll guitar player in the world. Eddie and Don are members of the zit squad at high school; at least that's what the jocks and cheerleaders call them. Laura once was a cheerleader and hung out with the other cheerleaders and jocks. But that was before she was paralyzed in a diving accident and ended up a "wheelchair-bound freak." Now her obsession is to walk again and regain her rightful place among the beautiful people. And like Don and Eddie, she becomes bitter and vengeful. Don is the first to take the plunge into the supernatural by conjuring up a demon that arranges for him to sell his soul to the big man himself. In just a matter of days, Don's new-found strength and powers enable him to destroy some of his tormentors. Only one person in town can sense the presence of evil and the death and destruction that will follow. But long ago she was labeled a religious nut, and nobody takes "poor ol' Anna" seriously. Don discovers that the ancient man who owns all the mills in town already is in league with the devil, having sold his soul a century earlier. Don is encouraged to recruit three more devil worshi

Dirty World: The Story of Sweet Willie Jones Feature

I learned from Mr. Jones that we don't get an opportunity to choose what type of lifestyle we're born into, but we do have a choice on the type of lifestyle we will live. He told me one thing I should always remain watchful of, and it is: "Life will always come full circle if you're not mindful of the present, in this Dirty World".

Wait for Me!: Memoirs Feature

Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, is the youngest of the famously witty brood of six daughters and one son that included the writers Jessica and Nancy, who wrote, when Deborah was born, “How disgusting of the poor darling to go and be a girl.” Deborah’s effervescent memoir Wait for Me! chronicles her remarkable life, from an eccentric but happy childhood roaming the Oxfordshire countryside, to tea with Adolf Hitler and her sister Unity in 1937, to her marriage to Andrew Cavendish, the second son of the Duke of Devonshire. Her life changed utterly with his unexpected inheritance of the title and vast estates after the wartime death of his brother, who had married “Kick” Kennedy, the beloved sister of John F. Kennedy. Her friendship with that family would last through triumph and tragedy.

In 1959, the Duchess and her family took up residence in Chatsworth, the four-hundred-year-old family seat, with its incomparable collections of paintings, tapestry, and sculpture—the combined accumulations of generations of tastemakers. Neglected due to the economies of two world wars and punitive inheritance taxes, the great house soon came to life again under the careful attention of the Duchess. It is regarded as one of England’s most loved and popular historic houses.

Wait for Me! is written with intense warmth, charm, and perception. A unique portrait of an age of tumult, splendor, and change, it is also an unprecedented look at the rhythms of life inside one of the great aristocratic families of England. With its razor-sharp portraits of the Duchess’s many friends and cohorts—politicians, writers, artists, sportsmen—it is truly irresistible reading, and will join the shelf of Mitford classics to delight readers for years to come.
