The Law and the Lady by Wilkie Collins, Fiction, Classics, Mystery & Detective, Women Sleuths

By: Wilkie Collins,Amy Sterling Casil

Valeria Woodville is one of English literature's earliest women detectives--that makes the novel historically remarkable. But it's also a great fun mystery, full of plot and circumstance, and a rogue's gallery of odd Dickensian characters. "The Law and the Lady" is as remarkable a novel today as it was when it was first published in 1875.

Jonny Punkinhead

By: Amy Sterling Casil

According to "The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction" Miscellany, "Kristine Kathryn Rusch even had one issue of F&SF, June 1996, announced as the 'New Writer Issue, ' in which 7 of its stories, all the fiction pieces, were either first sales or first published stories." "Jonny Punkinhead," which appeared in that issue, was Amy Sterling Casil's first professional science fiction and/or fantasy short fiction sale. It was not her first professional fiction sale, nor first published story, but rather first professional "Science Fiction Sale." "Jonny Punkinhead" tells the story of Dr. Hedrick Arlan, who is in charge of the Southern California Sherman Institute for Differently-Abled Children, and how hard it is for Dr. Arlan to balance his professional life, family, and trying to cope with the unwanted children who are victims of Human Mutational Virus -- or "freaks" like Jonny. "Jonny Punkinhead" is a prequel to "Chromosome Circus," which appeared in a later issue of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction featuring the little wolf girl Gyla, all grown up. The same characters also appear in Amy Casil's first novel "Imago.

Pancreatic Cancer

By: Amy Sterling Casil

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Pancreatic Cancer

By: Amy Sterling Casil

Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreasa large organ that lies behind the stomach. The pancreas secretes enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that help regulate the metabolism of sugars. Pancreatic cancer often has a poor prognosis, even when diagnosed early, and can spread rapidly. Because symptoms tend not to appear until the disease has progressed, the cancer is rarely detected in its early stages, which is a major reason why it's a leading cause of cancer death. Though its risk factors include obesity, smoking, and old age, it is most often associated with a family history of pancreatic cancer and a genetic predisposition to it. This is why the latest genetic research offers such hope for a breakthrough. If the gene or genes responsible for pancreatic cancer can be fixed or replaced with healthy versions, this deadly disease may finally be vanquished.

The Instrumentality of Women

By: Amy Sterling Casil

You can read stories about women in love, women's problems, or women's issues. Or you can read stories about the future of women... Fourteen sci fi and fantasy stories all about women by FEMALE SCIENCE FICTION WRITER author Amy Sterling Casil. This collection contains the Nebula Award-nominated story "To Kiss the Star." In the Nebula Award-nominated "To Kiss the Star," gravely disabled Mel Armstrong gets the chance to explore the stars, but doesn't want to leave the man she loves behind. In "The Renascence of Memory," nanotechnology returns 80 year old Alzheimers patient Carol Meyers to her former youth and beauty -- but everyone she knew and loved is dead, except her former young lover -- he is now too old for her. Famous female film director Helene Bacon will be the first woman to win an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award -- but she's dying of cancer and her daughter is the best donor. How will she choose? The Lady, the only daughter of the last great ruler of Copan, wishes to be a man, so she can save her father and her city. Dr. Vi Elliott believes she's discovered Early Man in the Southern California Desert -- maybe she has, and maybe she has not -- but she does run across a couple of mint-addicted intergalactic eBay traders in this sequel to "Mad for the Mints." And lawyer Lori Johnston is happily married to insurance guy Jack -- until he tells her he's committed to gender reassignment to save his job. What Jack doesn't know is that Lori appears and is female, but her biology is male: born with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. "Amy writes like Ray Bradbury on real sci-fi ..." Tom Easton, Analog Magazine "'To Kiss the Star' was up for the Nebula Award, but didn't win. I haven't read the work that did win yet, but, again, it must have been absolutely unbelievably fabulous to beat out "To Kiss the Star." This is a beautiful, poignant, moving story of a soaring mind trapped in a damaged body. Read it." - Hugo, Campbell and Nebula award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer, author of Flashforward and other bestsellers

The Department of Labor

The Department of Labor

By: Amy Sterling Casil

During the early Twentieth Century, it was not uncommon for seven- and eight-year olds to work for more than twelve hours a day, six days a week in dark, noisy factories for pennies a day. Complaints ornegotiations for better conditions could result in threats, beatings, or firing. The creation of the Department of Labor mandated the establishment of a national minimum wage and standard workweek. Finally, America's workers had an advocate in the government who could force employers to provide a workplace where employees could earn a fair wage without jeopardizing their health or safety.
