Sadie's Freedom

By: Connie Leonard Geron

Sadie’s Freedom is a story of redemption and forgiveness. For 32 years Sadie has been the faithful wife of a renowned minister. Her seemingly idyllic life is a farce. The marriage has been empty and loveless for years. Circumstances spur Sadie to make a change. She drops her fabulous wedding rings on the dresser, packs a suitcase, and heads for the hills. Literally. She walks away from all the prestige, adoration, and financial security to take on a simple life of poverty and freedom. Here is the story of her survival. At age 53, Sadie hones what few employable skills she has and finds a way to live. Her heart is one of contrition and the Lord steps in to comfort, forgive and provide. Miracles occur. Set in the mountains of North Carolina, this is a tale of victory, joy, courage and honor. Sadie touches lives with her genuine love, making a difference with her efforts as she blossoms in this new light of freedom.

The Life and Times of Cozy Eggleston and His Jazz Band

Featuring His Wife Marie Stone

By: Connie J. Eggleston MSW CPM

When jazz evolved in the United States there were many genres such as Bebop and Hard Bop. Cozy Eggleston was born in the small town of Cairo, Illinois. He was a self-taught saxophonist who had high aspirations to become a successful jazz musician. Cozy came along in the era when saxophonist Lester "The Prez" Young was "Boss on the scene." "Prez" became Cozy's idol the day they met. Cozy wrote a song called "Big Heavy." During that time jazz music was really popping. Cozy's song "Big Heavy," became a giant hit! Cozy decided to travel cross country with his wife Marie, who played alto sax, to promote his trending hit. There was a problem, however. This loving couple had two precocious toddlers and a cuddly infant baby girl with an insatiable appetite. Who on earth could care for this precious cargo? In those days, musicians traveled in caravans across the country to various gigs. They faced many challenges along the way. However, it didn't deter them from giving their audience a phenomenal jazz experience! They continued their travels on those dark, lonely, and what proved to be treacherous, roads. Many nights they would drive, perform, and then drive some more in search of a place to rest. No matter how strange and uncomfortable their sleeping arrangement, Cozy always found a way to "cozy-up" to Marie. Cozy and Marie had a life-altering event, later in their blissful journey, that would change their lives forever! From its beginning to now, jazz continues to flourish through new categories such as modern and smooth jazz. Thanks to musicians like Cozy, "Prez", and many others, today's jazz musicians are keeping it "all-the-way live!

Cloud Invasion

By: Connie Suttle

Ilya The rest of us woke after a few days, when it became apparent we'd survived the drug. Even Corinne woke faster the first time. This time, three weeks had passed. I was grateful for the scans and other tests Dr. Farrell ran, indicating she was alive. Still, I was terrified for her. And for me. I spoke to her often and lately, I begged her to open her eyes. * * * After surviving the drug a second time, Corinne's abilities are put to the test as the enemy steps up his attacks. Will she survive the attempts on her life, as well as betrayal from within? As she struggles to keep the others alive, a new threat arrives—one even the enemy doesn't see coming.

Cloud Dust

By: Connie Suttle

I got out five years ago. Untalented, they said. In other words, they didn't know what to do with me, and murder usually leaves a mess. I understood messes. Saw too many of them in my dreams. That's why I live where I do, still in their shadow but outside their walls. The conditions, of course, are that I have to move every five years, check in now and then and never, ever, talk about them to anyone. It was time to move. * * * Cloud Dust is a secret, government program, in which ninety-five per cent of the volunteers are dead. Meet the one who didn't volunteer...

The Best of Connie Willis

Award-Winning Stories

By: Connie Willis

Few authors have had careers as successful as that of Connie Willis. Inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and recently awarded the title of Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Willis is still going strong. Her smart, heartfelt fiction runs the gamut from screwball comedy to profound tragedy, combining dazzling plot twists, cutting-edge science, and unforgettable characters. From a near future mourning the extinction of dogs to an alternate history in which invading aliens were defeated by none other than Emily Dickinson; from a madcap convention of bumbling quantum physicists in Hollywood to a London whose Underground has become a storehouse of intangible memories both foul and fair—here are the greatest stories of one of the greatest writers working in any genre today. All ten of the stories gathered here are Hugo or Nebula award winners—some even have the distinction of winning both. With a new Introduction by the author and personal afterwords to each story—plus a special look at three of Willis’s unique public speeches—this is unquestionably the collection of the season, a book that every Connie Willis fan will treasure, and, to those unfamiliar with her work, the perfect introduction to one of the most accomplished and best-loved writers of our time. Praise for The Best of Connie Willis “Filled with warmth and sadness, great drama, witty dialogue, characters you will care about and moments that you will remember for a long time.”—SFF World “If anyone can be named ‘best science fiction writer of the age,’ it’s Connie Willis, and these stories are the best of her best. Truly.”—Analog “Ranging from the hilarious to the profound, these stories show the full range of [Connie] Willis’s talent for taut, dazzling plots, real science, memorable characters, penetrating dialogue and blistering drama.”—Kirkus Reviews “Thank goodness [for] Connie Willis, who says many things that desperately need saying in more than one delightful way.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “The Best of Connie Willis? Isn’t that like sorting through diamonds?”—Lytherus

. . . And His Lovely Wife

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

. . . And His Lovely Wife

A Campaign Memoir from the Woman Beside the Man

By: Connie Schultz

Writing with warmth and humor, Connie Schultz reveals the rigors, joys, and absolute madness of a new marriage at midlife and campaigning with her husband, Sherrod Brown, now the junior senator from Ohio. She describes the chain of events leading up to Sherrod’s decision to run for the Senate (he would not enter the fray without his wife’s unequivocal support), and her own decision to step down from writing her Pulitzer Prize-winning column during the course of one of the nation’s most intensely watched races. She writes about the moment her friends in the press became not so friendly, the constant campaign demands on her marriage and family life, and a personal tragedy that came out of the blue. Schultz also shares insight into the challenges of political life: dealing with audacious bloggers, ruthless adversaries, and political divas; battling expectations of a political wife; and the shock of having staffers young enough to be her children suddenly directing her every move. Connie Schultz is passionate and outspoken about her opinions–in other words, every political consultant’s nightmare, and every reader’s dream. “[Schultz is] a Pulitzer Prize—winning journalist with a mordant wit. . . . The [campaign memoir] genre takes on new life.” –The Washington Post Book World “With her characteristic wit and reportorial thoroughness, [Schultz] describes the behind-the-scenes chaos, frustration and excitement of a political campaign and the impact it has on a candidate’s family.” –Minneapolis Star Tribune “Witty and anecdotal, whether read by a Democrat or a Republican.” –Deseret Morning News “Frank and feisty . . . a spunky tribute to the survival of one woman’s spirit under conditions in which it might have been squelched.” –The Columbus Dispatch

Frederick Douglass American Hero

And International Icon of the Nineteenth Century

By: Connie A. Miller, Sr.

This is a complex and comprehensive literary about a Black American hero, a story never told before as it has been in this book. Previous authors and historians have not portrayed Frederick Douglass as an American hero who greatly influenced American History. Frederick Douglass was one of the most dynamic and influential individuals during the nineteenth century. He crusaded for the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution, which were all ratified during his lifetime. He was a friend of President Abraham Lincoln and an adviser to President Lincoln during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Frederick Douglass taught himself how to read and write and became a very brilliant individual as an orator, a writer and entrepreneur. He is the father of the original Civil Rights Movement in America as he fought for the civil rights and voting rights for women and Blacks.
