Artifacts Alive

By: J. T. Conners

Bree is a vibrant young archaeologist working toward her doctorate in anthropology. She attains a job within the Museum of Natural History in New York City for the foundation Artifacts Alive. The playboy son of the foundation's founder and CEO invites Bree to accompany him to the museum's grandest event of the year to view never-seen-before Egyptian artifacts that she would give her right arm to study. Bree has avoided Derrick the playboy's advances for two years. She selfishly agrees to go out on this date as she can't afford the exuberant price of the ticket herself. Bree knows that Derrick only desires one thing from her, which she is not inclined to give, but the value of seeing the relics outweighs evading Derrick's inappropriate advances throughout the night. Little does Bree recognize there is a much more sinister objective Derrick requires of Bree than just a one-night stand. Bree's tranquil life turns inside out instantly as she's thrust into a frightening realm, which would deliver her directly to a psychiatric ward if she tried to justify to others her experience. Abducted and involuntary portaled into a life only envisioned in the darkest of nightmares, Bree finds herself surrounded by supernatural creatures, heinous monsters, foul dungeons, cruel torture, greedy obsession, and contemptible lust for supremacy. Within all the depravity, Bree develops unexpected alliances that flourish into intimate relationships. She acquires an astonishing phenomenon within herself that aids her friends' survival but comes at a cost to her own wellbeing. When Bree's offered the opportunity to go back to New York, she finds herself torn between returning to her past life or staying in her present one. She has experienced events that have altered her beyond her wildest imagination. She is no longer the individual she once was. A choice awaits her. Which will she decide?

Napoleon and His Marshals

By: J. T. Headley

The mighty genius of Napoleon has so overshadowed all those beneath him that they have not received their due praise, nor their proper place in history.... But with weak men Napoleon never could have unsettled Europe, and founded and maintained his Empire. The Marshals who led his armies, and governed his conquered provinces, were men of native strength and genius; and as they stand grouped around their mighty chief, they form a circle of military leaders, the like of whom the world has never at one time beheld. -from the Preface Within the reign of Napoleon still in the living memory of some, American author J. T. Headley took on the daunting task of rehabilitating the names and deeds of the emperor's righthand men, virtuoso military strategists and men of dauntless action eclipsed only by the brilliance of their leader. Gathered from essays that appeared in magazines in 1846, this striking two-volume work-notable in itself for being the first books published by the now legendary Scribner and Co.-offers an extraordinary and unparalleled look at Napoleon's most trusted generals. After a brief defense of Napoleon against British historians and an analysis of the emperor's character, Volume I introduces us to: . Marshal Berthier, Duke of Neufchatel, Prince of Wagram, whom Headley calls Napoleon's Boswell . Marshal Lannes, Duke of Montebello, a man of humble birth whose "reckless daring and unconquerable resolution" caught Napoleon's eye . Marshal Macdonald, Duke of Tarentum, as bold and steely as Bonaparte himself . as well as Augereau, Davoust, St. Cyr, Moncey, Mortier, and Soult. OF INTEREST TO: military historians, readers of biographies, students of the Napoleonic Wars American writer and journalist JOEL TYLER HEADLEY (1813-1897) was an editor at the New York Tribune and wrote extensively on historical matters. Among his many books are Washington and his Generals (1847), Life of Cromwell (1848), and the bestselling Life of Washington (1857).

Situated Narratives and Sacred Dance

Performing the Entangled Histories of Cuba and West Africa

By: Jill Flanders Crosby,JT Torres

Using storytelling and performance to explore shared religious expression across continents Through a revolutionary ethnographic approach that foregrounds storytelling and performance as alternative means of knowledge, Situated Narratives and Sacred Dance explores shared ritual traditions between the Anlo-Ewe people of West Africa and their descendants, the Arará of Cuba, who were brought to the island in the transatlantic slave trade. The volume draws on two decades of research in four communities: Dzodze, Ghana; Adjodogou, Togo; and Perico and Agramonte, Cuba. In the ceremonies, oral narratives, and daily lives of individuals at each fieldsite, the authors not only identify shared attributes in religious expression across continents, but also reveal lasting emotional, spiritual, and personal impacts in the communities whose ancestors were ripped from their homeland and enslaved. The authors layer historiographic data, interviews, and fieldnotes with artistic modes such as true fiction, memoir, and choreographed narrative, challenging the conventional nature of scholarship with insights gained from sensorial experience. Including reflections on the making of an art installation based on this research project, the volume challenges readers to imagine the potential of approaching fieldwork as artists. The authors argue that creative methods can convey truths deeper than facts, pointing to new possibilities for collaboration between scientists and artists with relevance to any discipline. Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

What Are Friends For?

A Bogie Bogen Adventure

By: J.T. "Lucky" Jordan

What Are Friends For? is the sequel to Bogie’s Rules. The story follows Zachariah T. Bogan, an itinerant surf lifeguard, who wanders from beach job to beach job in the late 1940s and ‘50s. Although a fictional character, “Bogie” represents the real men who worked East Coast beaches in the summer and Southern beaches in the winter in the “good old days.” Bogie finds himself in Florida working for the Ft. Lauderdale Beach Patrol during the winter season. His personal philosophy of life involves him in an adventure he would never have believed possible. Bogie meets and falls for a beautiful, smart, and wealthy businesswoman from Washington, D.C. When she disappears, Bogie enlists his brother and his friends, who all have military experience and are trained in subversive combat tactics. The clues lead the group to beaches that span South Florida to a remote island in the South Atlantic, and surprisingly into the world of Russian human trafficking. The group faces continual danger, only to find that all the loyalty and training in the world couldn’t prepare them for the book’s stunning conclusion.

J.T. Ellison Dr. Samantha Owens Series Books 3-4

An Anthology

By: J.T. Ellison

WHAT LIES BEHIND grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. Ellison is a great talent—enjoy." —Catherine Coulter, #1 New York Times bestselling author Books 3 and 4 in the Dr. Samantha Owens series by New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison. When Shadows Fall Forensic pathologist Dr. Samantha Owens thought life was finally returning to normal, when she receives a letter from a dead man imploring her to solve his murder. There's only one catch. Timothy Savage's death was ruled a suicide. When Sam learns Savage left a will requesting she autopsy his body, she feels compelled to do it. Sam discovers clear signs that Savage was murdered and she finds DNA from a kidnapped child whose remains were recovered years earlier. Nothing about the case makes sense, but it is clear someone is unwilling to let anyone, especially Samantha Owens, discover the truth. What Lies Behind Waking to sirens in the night is hardly unusual for Samantha Owens. No longer a medical examiner, she doesn't lose sleep over them, but a routine police investigation in her neighborhood has her curious. When her homicide detective friend, Darren Fletcher, invites her to look over the evidence, she immediately realizes the crime scene was staged. What seems to be a clear case of murder/suicide is anything but. The discovery of toxic substances in hidden vials indicates that something much more sinister is at play? Unsure who to trust, Sam and Fletch find themselves up against very powerful people at every stage in the investigation. No one is who they appear to be. It's Sam's most complex case yet and the terrifying reality is beyond anything she could have imagined. More Praise "Shocking suspense, compelling characters and fascinating forensic details." —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A terrific thriller…fans of forensic mysteries, such as those by Patricia Cornwell, should immediately add this series to their A-lists." —Booklist

The Last Second

By: Catherine Coulter,J.T. Ellison

The New York Times bestselling Brit in the FBI series continues with this thrilling “popcorn movie in print form” (Associated Press) pitting special agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine against a private French space agency that has the power to end the world as we know it. Galactus, France’s answer to SpaceX, has just launched a communications satellite into orbit, but the payload actually harbors a frightening weapon: a nuclear bomb that can trigger a massive electromagnetic pulse (EMP). When the satellite is in position, Galactus’s second-in-command, Dr. Nevaeh Patel, will have the power to lay waste to the world. A former astronaut, Patel believes she is following the directions of the Numen, aliens who saved her life when she space-walked outside the International Space Station. She is convinced that with the Holy Grail—just discovered by the owner of Galactus, eccentric treasure hunter Jean-Pierre Broussard—she can be reunited with the Numen, change the world’s destiny, and become immortal with them. The countdown has begun when Special Agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine are thrown into the pending disaster. They must stop the EMP that would wreak havoc on communication and electronic systems on Earth, resulting in chaos and anarchy. With their high-octane and suspenseful prose, “Coulter and Ellison are a thriller writer’s dream team, and The Last Second is some of their best work yet” (The Real Book Spy).

Lit Riffs

By: Jonathan Lethem,Tom Perrotta,Lester Bangs,Aimee Bender,Amanda Davis,Neal Pollack,J. T. Leroy,Heidi Julavitz,Touré

Following in the footsteps of the late great Lester Bangs -- the most revered and irreverent of rock 'n' roll critics -- twenty-four celebrated writers have penned stories inspired by great songs. Just as Bangs cast new light on a Rod Stewart classic with his story "Maggie May," about a wholly unexpected connection between an impressionable young man and an aging, alcoholic hooker, the diverse, electrifying stories here use songs as a springboard for a form dubbed the lit riff. Alongside Bangs's classic work, you'll find stories by J.T. LeRoy, who puts a recovering teenage drug abuser in a dentist's chair with nothing but the Foo Fighters's "Everlong" -- blaring through the P.A. -- to fight the pain; Jonathan Lethem, whose narrator looks back on his lost innocence just as an extramarital affair careens to an end -- this to the tune "Speeding Motorcycle" as recorded by Yo La Tengo; and Jennifer Belle, who envisions a prequel to Paul Simon's "Graceland" -- one that takes place at a children's birthday party replete with a real live kangaroo. With original contributions from Tom Perrotta, Nelson George, Amanda Davis, Lisa Tucker, Aimee Bender, Darin Strauss, and many more -- riffing on everyone from Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen to the White Stripes, Cat Power, and Bob Marley -- this is both an astounding collection of short stories and an extraordinary experiment in words and music. Soundtrack available from Saturation Acres Music & Recording Co.
