‘Faulkner’s Folly’ is the second book in the ‘Alan Ford’ series of detective novels by prolific author Carolyn Wells. In Long Island, artist Eric Stannard is found stabbed to death in his studio – killed with his own etching needle. Local Detective Bobsy Roberts is on the case, but with so many people having a motive for the murder, progress is slow. Top detective Alan Ford is called in to help crack the mysterious case. Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) was a prolific American novelist and poet, best known for her children’s literature, mystery novels and humorous verse. Following school in New Jersey, Wells worked as a librarian, where she developed her love of reading. It was during 1896 that Wells' first book ‘At the Sign of the Sphinx’ was published. From 1900 she dedicated herself to her literary career, writing over 170 novels in total across a range of genres. Some of her most loved works include the ‘Patty Fairfield’ and ‘Marjorie Maynard’ series for girls, as well as the ‘Fleming Stone’ mystery series for adults. Wells is also well-known for her humorous nonsense verse, and was a frequent contributor of verse to magazines. She published an autobiography ‘The Rest of my Life’ in 1937. Wells died in New York City in 1942.

The Inconvenient Marriage

By: Carolyn Faulkner

She doesn't want a man, and he doesn't need a woman. So, a marriage of convenience should be perfect, shouldn't it? Mina has come for the summer to help her friend plan her wedding. After suffering through a trauma years ago, she has made a vow to keep her distance from all men. However, that was before she met Crystal's older, widowed brother. Rad likes his sister's friend. The fact that she gets along with his two small daughters is an added plus, and these two reasons prompt him to propose a marriage of convenience to her. He makes it clear that there will be separate bedrooms, and she agrees. After all, she doesn't want a man in her bed, and he was hurt deeply by his first wife, so it just makes sense. But when her new friend, Gemma, gives birth, Mina suddenly realizes a marriage of convenience to Rad is no longer what she wants. Somehow, he has broken through the barriers of her past. Can she convince him to make their marriage real? Or will it take no convincing at all? Publisher's Note: This endearing romance contains elements of power exchange.

William Faulkner

Lives and Legacies

By: Carolyn Porter

In this newest volume in Oxford's Lives and Legacies series, Carolyn Porter, a leading authority on William Faulkner, offers an insightful account of Faulkner's life and work, with special focus on the breathtaking twelve-year period when he wrote some of the finest novels in American literature. Porter ranges from Faulkner's childhood in Mississippi to his abortive career as a poet, his sojourn in New Orleans (where he met a sympathetic Sherwood Anderson and wrote his first novel Soldier's Pay), his short but strategically important stay in Paris, his "rescue" by Malcolm Crowley in the late 1940s, and his winning of the Nobel Prize. But the heart of the book illuminates the formal leap in Faulkner's creative vision beginning with The Sound and the Fury in 1929, which sold poorly but signaled the arrival of a major new literary talent. Indeed, from 1929 through 1942, he would produce, against formidable odds--physical, spiritual, and financial--some of the greatest fictional works of the twentieth century, including As I Lay Dying, Sanctuary, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom! and Go Down, Moses. Porter shows how, during this remarkably sustained burst of creativity, Faulkner pursued an often feverish process of increasingly ambitious narrative experimentation, coupled with an equally ambitious thematic expansion, as he moved from a close-up study of the white nuclear family, both lower and upper class, to an epic vision of southern, American, and ultimately Western culture. Porter illuminates the importance of Faulkner's legacy not only for American literature, but also for world literature, and reveals how Faulkner lives on so powerfully, both in the works of his literary heirs and in the lives of readers today.

After the Peace

Loyalist Paramilitaries in Post-Accord Northern Ireland

After the Peace

Loyalist Paramilitaries in Post-Accord Northern Ireland

By: Carolyn Gallaher

The 1998 Belfast Agreement promised to release citizens of Northern Ireland from the grip of paramilitarism. However, almost a decade later, Loyalist paramilitaries were still on the battlefield. After the Peace examines the delayed business of Loyalist demilitarization and explains why it included more fits than starts in the decade since formal peace and how Loyalist paramilitary recalcitrance has affected everyday Loyalists. Drawing on interviews with current and former Loyalist paramilitary men, community workers, and government officials, Carolyn Gallaher charts the trenchant divisions that emerged during the run-up to peace and thwart demilitarization today. After the Peace demonstrates that some Loyalist paramilitary men want to rebuild their communities and join the political process. They pledge a break with violence and the criminality that sustained their struggle. Others vow not to surrender and refuse to set aside their guns. These units operate under a Loyalist banner but increasingly resemble criminal fiefdoms. In the wake of this internecine power struggle, demilitarization has all but stalled. Gallaher documents the battle for the heart of Loyalism in varied settings, from the attempt to define Ulster Scots as a language to deadly feuds between UVF, UDA, and LVF contingents. After the Peace brings the story of Loyalist paramilitaries up to date and sheds light on the residual violence that persists in the post-accord era.
