The Sharpshooter Blues is in part an exuberant meditation on America's love affair with blue-steel barrels and snub-nose bullets and in part a heartbreaking look at the violence and loss that ensue when the guns come out to play one day in a small town. But most of all after the bullets have flown it's a story of love - between fathers and sons between husbands and wives between gay lovers and between longtime neighbors and friends. --Source: Publisher ; Lewis Nordan was born in Forest Mississippi on August 23 1939.

At the age of twelve an orphan named Will Cooper is given a horse a key and a map and is sent on a journey through the wilderness to the edge of the Cherokee Nation the uncharted white space on the map. Will is a bound boy obliged to run a remote Indian trading post. As he fulfills his lonesome duty Will finds a father in Bear a Cherokee chief and is adopted by him and his people developing relationships that ultimately forge Will's character. All the while his love of Claire the enigmatic and captivating charge of volatile and powerful Featherstone will forever rule Will's heart. In a distinct voice filled with both humor and yearning Will tells of a lifelong search for home the hunger for fortune and adventure the rebuilding of a trampled culture and above all an enduring pursuit of passion. As he comes to realize "When all else is lost and gone forever there is yearning. One of the few welcome lessons age teaches is that only desire trumps time." Will Cooper in the hands of Charles Frazier becomes a classic American soul: a man devoted to a place and its people a woman and a way of life all of which are forever just beyond his reach. Thirteen Moons takes us from the uncharted wilderness of an unspoiled continent across the South up and down the Mississippi and to the urban clamor of a raw Washington City. Throughout Will is swept along as the wild beauty of the nineteenth century gives way to the telephones automobiles and encroaching railways of the twentieth. Steeped in history rich in insight and filled with moments of sudden beauty Thirteen Moons is an unforgettable work of fiction ; "Thirteen Moons brings this vanished world thrillingly to life.One of the great Native American and American stories and a great gift to all of us from one of our very best writers." --Kirkus Reviews ; Charles Frazier was born in 1950 and grew up in western North Carolina. Frazier received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of North Carolina and his doctorate in American literature from the University of South Carolina.

When Felicia Day was a girl all she wanted was to connect with other kids desperately. Growing up in the Deep South where she was "home-schooled for hippie reasons" she looked online to find her tribe. The Internet was in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its growth-finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world. Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming calculus and 1930's detective novels without shame. Because she had no idea how "uncool" she really was. But if it hadn't been for her strange background-the awkwardness continued when she started college at sixteen with Mom driving her to campus every day-she might never have had the naive confidence to forge her own path. Like when she graduated as valedictorian with a math degree and then headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting despite having zero contacts. Or when she tired of being typecast as the crazy cat-lady secretary and decided to create her own web series before people in show business understood that online video could be more than just cats chasing laser pointers.Felicia's rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influen­tial creators in new media. Ever candid she opens up about the rough patches along the way recounting battles with writer's block a full-blown gaming addiction severe anxiety and depression-and how she reinvented herself when overachieving became overwhelming. ; Showcasing Felicia's "engaging and often hilarious voice" USA TODAY ; You're Never Weird on the Internet Almost is proof that everyone should celebrate what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world because anything is possible now-even for a digital misfit. --Source: Publisher ; Kathryn Felicia Day is an American actress singer writer and web series creator.

Now the acclaimed sleuth's latest outing shows how amply she and her creator deserve their acclaim as Callahan and the outrageous band of "girls" in her Atlanta cleaning crew set out during the Christmas rush to prove her no-account brother innocent of his ex-wife's murder. It's a few days before Christmas and Callahan thinks for once she has things under control. Her presents are all bought her baking is almost done and she's relaxing with a well-earned drink when her brother Brian--missing for over ten years--strolls through the door whistling off-key carols and lugging his two-year-old daughter Maura in his arms. Happy as she is to see her charming brother and her ever-more-charming niece Callahan hasn't forgotten that Brian carries trouble wherever he goes. That's never been truer than now for Brian reveals he's kidnapped Maura from his estranged wife who's on the warpath and of course has the law on her side. When Brian's ex-wife is found dead in her spectacularly messy apartment the law comes down on Brian big time. True to form Brian disappears again leaving Maura behind for Callahan to look after and forcing her to clear his name without his help. For Callahan knows that although Brian is many things he's no murderer. As the Christmas rush picks up Callahan her irascible mom Edna and a gaggle of House Mouse employees submerge themselves in the most dangerous undercurrents of Atlanta street life and head for wherever else in the New South's yuletide their search for truth leads them. In true Trocheck tradition Midnight Clear is heartwarming chilling and hilarious--a thoroughly up-to-date and irresistible Christmas tale. --Source: Publisher ; Kathy Hogan Trocheck was born on July 27 1954 in St. Petersburg Florida.

She likes to call herself an "old-lady schoolteacher." She is thirty-four. Around Kelly School she is famous for her discipline: "She is mean bro" says one of her students. But children love her. And so will the reader of this extraordinarily moving book by the author of House and The Soul of a New Machine. Mrs. Zajac spends her working life "among schoolchildren." To some it might seem a small world a world of spelling and recess and endless papers to correct. But we soon realize that Mrs. Zajac's classroom is big enough to house much of human nature. Her little room contains a distillate of some of the worst social problems of our time. Some of the children's young lives seem already stunted by physical and emotional deprivation. And some are full of precarious promise. As we come to know these children we long for their salvation - and we come to understand as if for the first time the difference that a good teacher can make in a child's life and in our society. Among Schoolchildren provides the most realistic account of American education ever written - on every page we encounter the precisely rendered truth for which Tracy Kidder is famous. But this is more than a book about education. It is about one woman's indomitability about the joy of acting out of conscience and love. At bottom its subject is nothing less than the struggle between good and evil. In Among Schoolchildren Tracy Kidder has written his most emotionally powerful most memorable work. --Source: Publisher ; Tracy Kidder was educated at the University of Iowa and Harvard University.

In Oh What a Slaughter Larry McMurtry has written a unique brilliant and searing history of the bloody massacres that marked-and marred-the settling of the American West in the nineteenth century and which still provoke immense controversy today. Here are the true stories of the West's most terrible massacres-Sacramento River Mountain Meadows Sand Creek Marias River Camp Grant and Wounded Knee among others. These massacres involved Americans killing Indians but also Indians killing Americans and in the case of the hugely controversial Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857 Mormons slaughtering a party of American settlers including women and children. McMurtry's evocative descriptions of these events recall their full horror and the deep constant apprehension and dread endured by both pioneers and Indians. By modern standards the death tolls were often small-Custer's famous defeat at Little Big Horn in 1876 was the only encounter to involve more than two hundred dead-yet in the thinly populated West of that time the violent extinction of a hundred people had a colossal impact on all sides. Though the perpetrators often went unpunished many guilty and traumatized men felt compelled to tell and retell the horrors they had committed. From letters and diaries McMurtry has created a moving and swiftly paced narrative as memorable in its way as such classics as Evan S. Connell's Son of the Morning Star and Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. In Larry McMurtry's own words: "I have visited all but one of these famous massacre sites-the Sacramento River massacre of 1846 is so forgotten that its site near the northern California village of Vina can only be approximated. It is no surprise to report that none of the sites are exactly pleasant places to be though the Camp Grant site north of Tucson does have a pretty community college nearby. In general the taint that followed the terror still lingers and is still powerful enough to affect locals who happen to live nearby. None of the massacres were effectively covered up though the Sacramento River massacre was overlooked for a very long time. "But the lesson if it is a lesson is that blood-in time and often not that much time-will out. In case after case the dead have managed to assert a surprising potency. "The deep constant apprehension which neither the pioneers nor the Indians escaped has it seems to me been too seldom factored in by historians of the settlement era though certainly it saturates the diary-literature of the pioneers particularly the diary-literature produced by frontier women who were of course the likeliest candidates for rapine and kidnap." --Source: Publisher ; Larry McMurtry winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction among other awards is the author of twenty-four novels two collections of essays two memoirs more than thirty screenplays & an anthology of modern Western fiction.

So when Donald Sales's 22-year-old daughter is brutally murdered at law school he comes undone. In a fit of rage Sales tells the police that he suspects Eric Lipton one of his daughter's professors is the killer. And when the arrogant but brilliant Professor Lipton is found in possession of her bloody underpants Sales doesn't want the law professor in jail -- he wants him dead. Lipton's attorney is Casey Jordan. As a law professor Lipton knows quite well that anything he says to Casey cannot be used against him. Lipton adamantly denies murdering his young student and Casey believes him. To Casey the girl's father -- Donald Sales -- is a more logical suspect. His violent history makes Casey wonder if he is deranged by grief or by guilt. And when Casey discredits Sales on the witness stand and skillfully deflects the prosecution's attempt to connect Lipton with a series of similar murders Casey believes that justice is at hand. But then -- just as the jury hands its "Not Guilty" verdict to the judge -- Lipton leans over and tells Casey that he is in fact the killer. Then Lipton inexplicably disappears and more bodies begin to turn up. Casey must now decide whether to uphold her legal oath to protect her client.or join forces with an obsessed father who demands that a demented killer be brought to justice. --Source: Publisher ; Timothy Green was born in Liverpool New York on December 16 1963.

Patton's final battle -- the Allied victory over Germany in the spring of 1945 and the ensuing nine months of his life with particular attention given to his fatal automobile accident in December. Ladislas Fargo chronicles the postwar adventures and misfortunes that ultimately deprived Patton of the glory and victory he had earned in his career as military strategist leader and hero. - Jacket flap. ; "It would be as hard to give up all thought of being a soldier as it would be to stop breathing" wrote George S. Patton in October 1945; "The great tragedy of my life was that I survived the last battle." But Patton would not see the year out: in December he would die as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident in Germany. His unexpected death sent shock waves through the American and Russian commands. It seemed plausible that America's greatest general may have been a victim of foul play. In the seven months following the German surrender Patton had openly and provocatively criticized the Soviet Union and appeared to have transformed from a staunch anti-Nazi to a Nazi sympathizer. The Last Days of Patton by Ladislas Farago a follow-up to his bestselling Patton: Ordeal and Triumph attempts to reconstruct the last months of Patton's life in order to determine if the general did indeed try to provoke a war with the Soviet Union and whether he failed to sufficiently de-Nazify the area of Germany under his jurisdiction. Farago also investigates the possibility of a conspiracy to murder Patton and reveals the role other prominent men including Eisenhower Montgomery Marshall and MacArthur had in censuring and ultimately removing Patton from active service. The Last Days of Patton. is the story of the general's final battle--a professional soldier caught up in the changing politics of the emerging Cold War and new reality of the atomic age." ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> McGraw-Hill, New York, ©1981 hardcover‎

In May 2012 he was sworn in as the 29th Chief Justice serving as leader of Georgia's judicial system until Dec. 31 2012 ; In 323 B.C.E having conquered Persia Alexander the Great set his sights on Arabia then suddenly succumbed to a strange fever. Locating his final resting place-unknown to this day-remains a tantalizing goal for both archaeologists and treasure hunters. Now the quest for this coveted prize is about to heat up. And Cotton Malone-former U.S. Justice Department agent turned rare-book dealer-will be drawn into an intense geopolitical chess game. After narrowly escaping incineration in a devastating fire that consumes a Danish museum Cotton learns from his friend the beguiling adventurer Cassiopeia Vitt that the blaze was neither an accident nor an isolated incident. As part of campaign of arson intended to mask a far more diabolical design buildings across Europe are being devoured by infernos of unnatural strength. And from the ashes of the U.S.S.R. a new nation has arisen: Former Soviet republics have consolidated into the Central Asian Federation. At its helm is Supreme Minister Irina Zovastina a cunning despot with a talent for politics a taste for blood sport and the single-minded desire to surpass Alexander the Great as history's ultimate conqueror. Backed by a secret cabal of powerbrokers the Federation has amassed a harrowing arsenal of biological weapons. Equipped with the hellish power to decimate other nations at will only one thing keeps Zovastina from setting in motion her death march of domination: a miraculous healing serum kept secret by an ancient puzzle and buried with the mummified remains of Alexander the Great-in a tomb lost to the ages for more than 1500 years. Together Cotton and Cassiopeia must outrun and outthink the forces alliedagainst them. Their perilous quest will take them to the shores of Denmark deep into the venerated monuments of Venice and finally high inside the desolate Pamir mountains of Central Asia to unravel a riddle whose solution could destroy or save millions of people-depending on who finds the lost tomb first. ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> Ballantine Books, New York, ©2007 hardcover‎
