Judge Rath

By: Michael Davidson

Judge Rath is the fourth book in the Jon Sadler Mystery series. I thought after I’d written Darth and the Puppeteers, I was finished with Mr. Sadler. But I missed him and eventually came up with an idea of how I could get him in trouble again. If you’ve read my three previous novels with Jon Sadler as protagonist, you will know that I lean slightly toward the psychic and metaphysical. In Judge Rath I have created a mystery in which, Jon, as Judge Rath, and some of my favorite characters in the first three novels, find themselves in their past lives caught up in a wild-west whodunit set in the year 1864. The scene is the City of San Fernando, California, in the San Fernando Valley. Jon has been sent into the past by, Aaron, an Avatar affiliated with our old friend, Darth. For reasons explained in the book, Jon was in need of discovering an element in his nature that had been passive in his life as a psychiatrist. Judge Rath has a proclivity to shoot first, and shoot again, and finds himself mired in what appears to be the random killings of saloon whores. Out of frustration, Jon telegraphs the Pinkerton Detective Agency in Chicago. Alan Pinkerton sends out his ace female detective, Kate Wayne, the first female detective in the country. Together, and with the support of President Abraham Lincoln, they undertake to solve what history will refer to as: The Case of the Cannabis Cannibals.

Legendary Locals of Meridian

By: June Davis Davidson and Richelle Putnam

In 1831, Richard McLemore received a federal land grant of 2,000 acres located in the future Lauderdale County, Mississippi. He gave free land to those he considered good neighbors and built his home within the one square mile that would be incorporated as Meridian on February 10, 1860. On Valentine's Day 1864, Gen. W.T. Sherman's troops marched into the small railroad town. After burning the town, Sherman wrote in his journal, "Meridian . . . no longer exists." Meridian did survive and became Mississippi's largest city due to its railroad and timber industries and progressive settlers like the Weidmanns, Marks-Rothenbergs, Threefoots, Rushes, Rosenbaums, Rileys, Andersons, and others. Within these pages, meet the people who proved Sherman wrong and continue to influence the area today.

Tracks

By: Robyn Davidson

Now a major motion picture starring Mia Wasikowska and Adam Driver 'I experienced that sinking feeling you get when you know you have conned yourself into doing something difficult and there's no going back.' So begins Robyn Davidson's perilous journey across 1,700 miles of hostile Australian desert to the sea with only four camels and a dog for company. Enduring sweltering heat, fending off poisonous snakes and lecherous men, chasing her camels when they get skittish and nursing them when they are injured, Davidson emerges as an extraordinarily courageous heroine driven by a love of Australia's landscape, an empathy for its indigenous people, and a willingness to cast away the trappings of her former identity. Tracks is the compelling, candid story of her odyssey of discovery and transformation. WITH A NEW POSTSCRIPT BY THE AUTHOR AND A STUNNING COLOUR PICTURE SECTION

Queen of the Burglars

The Scandalous Life of Sophie Lyons

By: Shayne Davidson

Born in the mid-nineteenth century, Sophie Lyons was a master thief, con artist, blackmailer and smuggler. Much of her success as a criminal was due to the fact that she was fearless, reckless, sharp and cunning--everything a woman of her time was not supposed to be. As a young child, Sophie's parents forced her to steal when she showed a talent for pickpocketing. Strong-willed and smart, she blossomed into a beautiful teenager who caught the eye of many men in the underworld of New York City. By the time Sophie reached her late teens she was married to her second husband--a notorious bank burglar named Ned Lyons--and was a professional criminal in her own right. Despite her prominent place in crime history, Sophie Lyons has never been the subject of a full-length biography. This book chronicles Sophie's fascinating and tragic life, from her beginnings as a criminal prodigy, through her ingenious escape from Sing Sing prison and her lifelong struggle with mental illness.

Katharine Briggs

Katharine Briggs

By: H.R. Ellis Davidson

Katharine Briggs made an indelible mark on the world of folklore with her compilation of the Dictionary of British Folktales in the English Languages, while her subsequent Dictionary of Fairies confirmed her already distinguished place among British Folklorists. Briggs’s initial academic interest while at Oxford University was in seventeenth-century literature and the Civil War. Upon leaving Oxford she pursued amateur dramatics and worked for the Guide Movement, and during the Second World War she served in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. It was here, perhaps, that her personality fully matured; among other activities she delighted her fellows with her remarkable gift for story-telling. After the war, her career as a folklorist began to blossom. As if to make up for lost time, she spent the last twenty years of her life writing and lecturing almost continually. As well as her books on folklore, she gained renown for her children’s books Kate Crackernuts and Hobberdy Dick. She was responsible for revitalising the Folklore Society and as its President, she laid the foundations of the Society as it is today. Hilda Davidson’s biography brings to life a remarkable woman whose combination of academic excellence and natural gift for narrative found her friends all over the world.

Alina

Alina

By: Michael Davidson

Alina is the true story of a beautiful and seductive woman seemingly born out of time and place to a culture inundated with pitfalls she was inherently unable to navigate. As a child she survived sexual molestation only to find herself in the grip of a lifelong untreated bi-polar condition. This is an account of the thoughts and feelings of a woman who suffered through silent alternating periods of depression and a sense of omnipotence that eventually led her to the door of a psychopath. The author reveals an early childhood dominated by a controlling and abusing grandfather, a chaotic relationship with her first husband and father of her first two children, a comparatively stable relationship with her second husband ending in a sudden violation of trust, and a brutal eight-year involvement with the father of her third child. Alina’s story illustrates a fundamental flaw in the nature of three men who sought to fulfill their needs through the willing participation of a woman unaware of her own, and her desperate attempt to free herself from an existence that had spiraled into hell. It is also a story of blind courage, resiliency, and a search for love.

By: Liz Davidson

Protect your money with this “accessible and practical” guide to hiring and working with financial advisors (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Hiring a trained expert to safeguard and grow your wealth seems like a foolproof decision, but it can go awry for many people.
