Immortal Beloved

A Novella of Beethoven

By: Jeanne Blanchet

Unique…Interactive…Electrifying! On July 7, 1812 in Teplitz, Austria, Ludwig van Beethoven penciled a ten-page letter to his “Immortal Beloved.” The missive, which was never mailed, was not discovered until after the famous composer’s death. Even today the intended recipient remains unknown and is the topic of heated debate among scholars and music historians. Just who was the mysterious addressee? In this unique, interactive novella, you, the reader, can take a magic carpet ride back through space and time to ask the master for yourself as he narrates the story of his fascinating, albeit harried, life. This entertaining, fast-paced story by award-winning author Jeanne Blanchet features a surprising ending and will enable readers to develop a deeper appreciation for the passion and struggles of Beethoven—one of the world’s most renowned geniuses.

Dancer of Death

A Novel of Manolete

By: Jeanne Blanchet

Manolete is a skilled matador trained to kill thousand-pound-plus bulls. Islero is a Miura bull bred to kill men. On August 28, 1947, their paths collide, leaving Manolete gravely wounded. As he lies in a hospital bed and drifts in and out of fitful sleep, snippets of his life, beginning from his early boyhood in Córdoba, flash before him. Traveling back in time, the superstar relives his first bullfight and early struggles to restore his destitute family’s honor, his successful years at the pinnacle of his profession, his stormy relationship with his feisty mistress, actress Lupe Sino, and finally his heartbreaking descent into depression and alcoholism. In this colorful yet tragic story inspired by true events, the fascinating life of a Spanish bullfighter unfolds as he reflects on his journey to become a famous matador.

Tales from the Far Side

By: Jeanne Blanchet

Tales From the Far Side is a delightful collection of imaginative, eclectic short stories, some featuring humorous, chatty animals, not to mention mouthy inanimate objects. Many take place during cataclysmic historical events, such as the 2012 onslaught of Hurricane Sandy and relate to timely issues such as racism, alcoholism, and attitudes toward people with disabilities. Featuring Navajo code talkers, Tuskegee Airmen, hibakusha (disfigured atom bomb victims), and artificial intelligence (AI), this thought-provoking book is sure to captivate anyone who relishes a good, albeit far out, story.

Metis Pioneers

Marie Rose Delorme Smith and Isabella Clark Hardisty Lougheed

By: Doris Jeanne MacKinnon

In Metis Pioneers, Doris Jeanne MacKinnon compares the survival strategies of two Metis women born during the fur trade—one from the French-speaking free trade tradition and one from the English-speaking Hudson’s Bay Company tradition—who settled in southern Alberta as the Canadian West transitioned to a sedentary agricultural and industrial economy. MacKinnon provides rare insight into their lives, demonstrating the contributions Metis women made to the building of the Prairie West. This is a compelling tale of two women’s acts of quiet resistance in the final days of the British Empire.
