Blues in the Night

The First Chronicles of Bernie Butz

By: Carol S. Fowler

Blues in the Night: The First Chronicles of Bernie Butz is a five-story series that begins in May 1951. Bernie is a jazz reviewer and a part-time sleuth, since he seems compelled to involve himself in different scenarios involving the jazz musicians that he writes about. He started out as a law school student in New York City, but instead discovered the true love of his life - jazz - and began hanging around 52nd Street, the jazz capital of the world, where he became mesmerized by the music. Bernie has become a man dedicated to the music and the people who make it. Most of his time is spent in smoky dives, where the music is hot and the musicians' lives are even hotter. The first episode involves an extortion attempt on an up-and-coming saxophone player. The other four stories to follow center on murder and personal tragedies. The final tale is a murder mystery involving a trumpet player whose wife is found dead with the man she has been having an affair with, the horn player's own drummer. Stay tuned for the next book in the series, Blowin' Up a Storm: The Second Chronicles of Bernie Butz. Carol S. Fowler was born and raised in Elgin, Illinois, where she returned to live after her career in the U.S. Marine Corps. "I have been a jazz reviewer and love the music myself. It is one of my great passions in life. I decided to write about jazz musicians because they live in a different world and are a breed all of their own."

A Short Story Collection of Horrors, the Bizarre, and the Mysterious

By: Carol S. Fowler

The title explains it all. A Short Story Collection of Horrors, the Bizarre, and the Mysterious is a 22-story horror collection ranging from the traditional Halloween story to the very bizarre. There is a vast variety of characters, from the criminal mind to black cats, witches, the insane, Satan, and the grim reaper. If you are a horror fan, get ready for a journey loaded with twists and turns. One thing these stories all have in common is that each one has an exceptional surprise ending. The other thing they all possess is the ability to keep readers on the edge of their seat. By the time you reach the very last story, you will be left breathless and terrified. Two of these stories have won writing contests. See if you can figure out which ones. "As the author, I must be honest. Once these stories were on paper and I was removed, when I went back to read them, some of these tales even scared me." .

Neoliberal Sexual Violence Politics

Toxic Masculinity and #MeToo

By: Carol Harrington

This book locates #MeToo’s traction among elites with “womenomics” theories that attribute feminized poverty, welfare dependency, and sexual violence to traditional femininity and toxic masculinity. Such neoliberal anti-sexual violence policies seek to empower women through paid work and reform men through fatherhood. This volume shows that men’s movements and conservative concerns about “fatherless families” developed toxic masculinity discourse before popular feminism incorporated it. It analyses how discourse on #MeToo issues in the workplace reveals a shift away from representations of women as traumatized victims in need of empowerment toward a focus on men as both problem and solution, setting new standards for masculine workplace conduct. However, this discourse reproduces a toxic/good men binary that serves to consolidate a new form of hegemonic masculinity. The book concludes that neoliberal sexual violence politics obscures how globalization fosters inequalities and sexual violence by blaming these and other social ills on toxically masculine men. This book will be of interest to scholars whose research focuses on sexual violence, feminist studies, masculinity studies, and neoliberalism.
