Catt’s big brother takes care of her, but when it seems like trouble is brewing in the port city where they live, he puts her in a temple school and runs away to sea. Catt runs away from the creepy school and tries to follow her brother, but she accidentally stows away on the wrong ship! Adventure awaits Catt, along with piracy, shipwreck, magic scrolls, thievery, a mermaid who wants a bargain, a man who stole her brother’s name, and a murderous sea-captain who is most certainly not her mother. Will the courage and experience that Catt finds along the way be enough for her to save her brother from the cryptic trap he has fallen into?

Murder at the Tarsal Shore

By: James Robert Paige

Catt Zago’s luxury vacation and family reunion has been interrupted by a murder! She knows a thing or two about committing crimes, but not so much about investigating them. If she can't solve this mystery, she and her brother might be next. Who did it? Was it the retired executioner with an axe to grind? Was it the woman who claims to be a god? Was it the wizard who insists that the living doll that he carries around isn't a daemon? Or was it their host– a kindly man of excellent hospitality who absolutely never takes off his copper skull mask for any reason? To make matters worse, none of those suspicious characters has a motive. The only person who has a reason to hate the victim… is Catt herself!

Impresario

The Life and Times of Ed Sullivan

By: James Maguire

• Sullivan has nearly 100% name recognition among people 40 and older • In a survey of the fifty most influential programs in the U.S., TV Guide ranked The Ed Sullivan Show #10 • Show still appears on PBS and on cable stations across the country • Sixty million baby boomers grew up watching The Ed Sullivan Show For more than twenty years, from 1948 to 1971, fifty-five million viewers watched The Ed Sullivan Show religiously every Sunday night. Everyone who was anyone appeared—the Beatles and Elvis, of course, and Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, and Elizabeth Taylor, plus public figures such as Fidel Castro, David Ben-Gurion, and Martin Luther King, Jr. More than thirty years later, the program remains a pop-culture icon. But despite Ed Sullivan’s prominence, little was known about the private man...until now. Impresario reveals what the Sullivan viewers never saw: nasty, hot-tempered, craven, yet also capable of high ideals and, above all, hugely ambitious. At a time when Americans are looking back, The Ed Sullivan Show stands out as a shining example of television during the golden era. Impresario lets readers look behind the screen to see the man who made it happen.

Historical Dictionary of Vaudeville

By: James Fisher

Vaudeville, as it is commonly known today, began as a response to scandalous variety performances appealing mostly to adult, male patrons. When former minstrel performer and balladeer Tony Pastor opened the Fourteenth Street Theatre in New York in 1881, he was guided by a mission to provide family-friendly variety shows in hopes of drawing in that portion of the audience – women and children – otherwise inherently excluded from variety bills prior to 1881. There he perfected a framework for family-oriented amusements of the highest obtainable quality and style. Historical Dictionary of Vaudeville contains a chronology, an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and the dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on performing artists, managers and agents, theatre facilities, and the terminology central to the history of vaudeville. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about vaudeville.
