On the first morning of quilt artist Garland Durrell’s new life on Cape Cod after a painful divorce, she finds a man and a small boy washed up on the beach, both badly wounded. Since the town’s chief of police is strangely reluctant to help, Garland takes on the care of the mysterious pair who don’t seem to remember what happened to them—and feels her own heart begin to heal. Alasdair does remember. He and his son are the last of the Cape’s ruling family of selkies, locked in a struggle with an ancient evil that threatens all, selkie and human. He’s not sure if he can trust Garland until he touches one of her quilts and feels the magic she’s sewn into it...and the kindling of a love he never thought he’d feel again. But the evil entity that left Alasdair for dead quickly senses both his presence and Garland’s magic, and is determined to destroy one and possess the other. Only Garland and her quilts, made with a power she barely believes she has, can save them all from destruction—if she can avoid being destroyed first.

What Lies Beneath

By: Marissa Doyle

War. Spies. Gossip and lies. Mythical Creatures. Falling in love. And it’s still only July. It’s 1917, and everyone is doing their bit now that America has entered the Great War—everyone except 17-year-old Emma Verlaine. Her overprotective dad won’t let her go to nursing school while he’s off doing war work; instead, she’s been sent to stay for the summer with her Gran on an island off Cape Cod, and the most she’ll be able to do for the war effort is knit socks. Socks! As it happens, island life isn’t so bad. There are the seals that seem even more fascinated by her than she is by them. There’s the new Navy Air Station that guards the coast from German U-boats where she’s determined to get a job. But most of all there’s Malcolm, whose family owns a resort hotel on the island and who gives her swimming lessons and delicious kisses. But danger lurks in the waters off the island. Only Emma can save her new home—if she accepts that everything she thought she knew about her life is a lie, and that the seals are following her for a very good reason…

By Jove

a contemporary romantic fantasy

By: Marissa Doyle

After three soul-destroying years of teaching unenthusiastic middle-schoolers, Theodora Fairchild is thrilled to be a student again, pursuing her doctorate in Latin. She’s sure John Winthrop University will be the intellectual home she’s always longed for, the place where she’ll finally fit in. But her teaching days aren’t quite over: Theo starts giving "humanities" lessons to sweetly nerdy post-doc Grant Proctor--and loses her heart. But nobody in the Classics Department is quite who they seem . . . not even Grant. Theo's arrival rekindles an ancient rivalry between two powerful enemies, and Theo herself is the prize. After she unwittingly betrays Grant to his oldest foe, she’s determined to rescue him—and herself— before it’s too late. Because even gods can die—or wish they were dead.

Turmoil on the Thames: A Light-hearted Regency Fantasy

The Ladies of Almack's Book 5

By: Marissa Doyle

Eton, or eaten? This picnic is turning out to be no picnic… Annabel and her parents are off to Eton to join her sons for the students’ annual celebration of the King’s birthday, observed with boat races on the Thames, fireworks, and a picnic by the river—which the boys seem to be especially looking forward to, considering the number of cakes and sandwiches they’ve begged Annabel to bring. She’s secretly pleased when they’re joined unexpectedly by the Marquis of Quinceton—but much less happy when some less-welcome unexpected guests threaten to turn the party into a funeral. Thanks to a platter of pastries and some quick thinking by the marquis, tragedy is averted…but the Ladies of Almack’s are concerned by what happened on the river, and why… Turmoil on the Thames is the fifth installment of The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

The Vanishing Volume: A Light-hearted Regency Fantasy

The Ladies of Almack's Book 2

By: Marissa Doyle

A best-selling author. A missing manuscript. The readers of London are raging... The popular but reclusive author E.C. Spruce has outdone himself with a delicious new three-volume novel, The Fifty Shades of Udolpho, and all of London—including Annabel and the Lady Patronesses of Almack’s—are devouring it. That is, until the third volume begins vanishing from bookshops and bedside tables alike, leaving readers desperate to know how the story ends. Suspecting supernatural forces are at play, Annabel and her fellow Lady Patronesses investigate the literary loss. A clever trap reveals an unexpected (and smelly) culprit, but it appears that plot twists aren’t always reserved for the page. Will they be able to bring the thieving mastermind to justice? And could the Marquis of Quinceton actually be more of a help than a disconcerting hindrance? The Vanishing Volume is the second book in The Ladies of Almack's series by Marissa Doyle.

Spiritualism's Place

Reformers, Seekers, and Séances in Lily Dale

By: Averill Earls,Sarah Handley-Cousins,Marissa C. Rhodes,Elizabeth Garner Masarik

In Spiritualism's Place, four friends and scholars who produce the acclaimed Dig: A History Podcast, share their curiosity and enthusiasm for uncovering stories from the past as they explore the history of Lily Dale. Located in western New York State, the world's largest center for Spiritualism was founded in 1879. Lily Dale has been a home for Spiritualists attempting to make contact with the dead, as well as a gathering place for reformers, a refuge for seekers looking for alternatives to established paths of knowledge, and a target for skeptics. This intimate history of Lily Dale reveals the role that this fascinating place has played within the history of Spiritualism, as well as within the development of the women's suffrage and temperance movements, and the world of New Age religion. As an intentional community devoted to Spiritualist beliefs and practices, Lily Dale brings together multiple strands in the social and religious history of New York and the United States over the past 150 years: feminism, social reform, utopianism, new religious movements, and cultural appropriation. Podcasters and historians alike, Averill Earls, Sarah Handley-Cousins, Elizabeth Garner Masarik, and Marissa C. Rhodes each identify one site in Lily Dale and one theme that its history illuminates. They use those sites and themes to approach Lily Dale not as debunkers but as inquisitive researchers and storytellers. At the same time, they also reflect on their own relationships contending that it's never quite possible to separate grief, hope, faith, and friendship from understandings of the past. Spiritualism's Place breaks myths, unveils unexpected stories, and finds new ways to contemplate Spiritualism's role in American history.

Evergreen

By: Marissa Doyle

It’s 1901—a brave new century—and seventeen-year-old Grace Boisvert thinks it’s high time to forget that she’s a dryad; being able to talk to trees just doesn’t seem very useful in the automobile age. A little hair dye to touch up her green roots, and she’s off to join her best friend Alice Roosevelt for a visit to glamorous Newport, RI, with her family’s warnings not to fall for any human boys ringing in her ears. As it happens, the only interesting boy in Newport, Kit Rookwood, clearly prefers Alice to her. But that changes when he and his family unexpectedly follow them to a secluded Adirondack camp to join Alice’s family. Grace finds herself falling in love—and not just with the breathtaking forests. But sometimes stern family warnings really should be heeded and ancient magical heritages not forgotten, especially when it turns out that not everything—and everyone—are quite what they seem...

By: Marissa Doyle

Vandalized art. An unsuited suitor. And the summer’s only beginning… The Ladies of Almack’s are shocked to discover that someone is vandalizing the pictures at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition: the portraits and landscapes are being subtly altered to make malicious fun of the head of the Exhibition, Sir Henry Hebbly, and his wife. Annabel knows the Hebblys: Sir Henry is a bit of a bully, but who could wish to hurt his darling wife? The Ladies’ talents—especially her shadow-shaping abilities—will solve the case, but are the culprits Annabel catches the ones truly at fault? And magical art sabotage isn’t the only thing on her mind. Surely she should be delighted that the attentions of a new admirer, the Marquis of Glenrick, are becoming marked: after all, he’s heir to a dukedom. But she’s beginning to think she might prefer the attentions of a different marquis… The Cursed Canvases is the fourth installment of The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

She and six other high-born ladies with equally extraordinary abilities defend England against supernatural crime—but the world knows them only as the Lady Patronesses of Almack’s, Regency London’s most exclusive social venue. Annabel reluctantly goes to Brighton to investigate the suspicious behavior of her fellow Lady Patroness, Frances, and evade the advances of Lord Glenrick, now the Duke of Carrick. Once there, she finds herself even more reluctantly chaperoning a royal teenager through the high season in the most sophisticated town in England.

Metropolitan Tragedy

Genre, Justice, and the City in Early Modern England

By: Marissa Greenberg

Breaking new ground in the study of tragedy, early modern theatre, and literary London, Metropolitan Tragedy demonstrates that early modern tragedy emerged from the juncture of radical changes in London's urban fabric and the city's judicial procedures. Marissa Greenberg argues that plays by Shakespeare, Milton, Massinger, and others rework classical conventions to represent the city as a locus of suffering and loss while they reflect on actual sources of injustice in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century London: structural upheaval, imperial ambition, and political tyranny. Drawing on a rich archive of printed and manuscript sources, including numerous images of England's capital, Greenberg reveals the competing ideas about the metropolis that mediated responses to theatrical tragedy. The first study of early modern tragedy as an urban genre, Metropolitan Tragedy advances our understanding of the intersections between genre and history.

Africanizing Oncology

Creativity, Crisis, and Cancer in Uganda

By: Marissa Mika

An innovative contemporary history that blends insights from a variety of disciplines to highlight how a storied African cancer institute has shaped lives and identities in postcolonial Uganda. Over the past decade, an increasingly visible crisis of cancer in Uganda has made local and international headlines. Based on transcontinental research and public engagement with the Uganda Cancer Institute that began in 2010, Africanizing Oncology frames the cancer hospital as a microcosm of the Ugandan state, as a space where one can trace the lived experiences of Ugandans in the twentieth century. Ongoing ethnographic fieldwork, patient records, oral histories, private papers from US oncologists, American National Cancer Institute records, British colonial office reports, and even the architecture of the institute itself show how Ugandans understood and continue to shape ideas about national identity, political violence, epidemics, and economic life. Africanizing Oncology describes the political, social, technological, and biomedical dimensions of how Ugandans created, sustained, and transformed this institute over the past half century. With insights from science and technology studies and contemporary African history, Marissa Mika’s work joins a new wave of contemporary histories of the political, technological, moral, and intellectual aspirations and actions of Africans after independence. It contributes to a growing body of work on chronic disease and situates the contemporary urgency of the mounting cancer crisis on the continent in a longer history of global cancer research and care. With its creative integration of African studies, science and technology studies, and medical anthropology, Africanizing Oncology speaks to multiple scholarly communities.

Bewitching Season

By: Marissa Doyle

In 1837 London, young daughters of viscounts pined for handsome, titled husbands, not careers. And certainly not careers in magic. At least, most of them didn't. Shy, studious Persephone Leland would far rather devote herself to her secret magic studies than enter society and look for a suitable husband. But right as the inevitable season for "coming out" is about to begin, Persy and her twin sister discover that their governess in magic has been kidnapped as part of a plot to gain control of the soon-to-be Queen Victoria. Racing through Mayfair ballrooms and royal palaces, the sisters overcome bad millinery, shady royal spinsters, and a mysterious Irish wizard. And along the way, Persy learns that husband hunting isn't such an odious task after all, if you can find the right quarry. Bewitching Season is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Emerging Diseases

Emergence and Control of Zoonotic Ortho- and Paramyxovirus Diseases

By: Betty Dodet,Marissa Vicari

Researchers are still identifying micro-organisms that cause new diseases in humans. A basic factor in the emergence of these diseases is the role played by animals, which act as a reservoir for certain viruses. In favourable conditions, such viruses can cross the species barrier and infect humans. The book takes a close look at two families of virus: orthomyxoviridae and paramyxoviridae, which have infected many species of vertebrates and are responsible for zoonosis. The two main parts of the book describe how the viruses operate, how they spread and the risk factors for humans. In addition to a specific and detailed study of these two micro-organisms, the book highlights the fascinating history of such diseases, their emergence, development and disappearance. They have occurred throughout human history, underscoring the role of the environment and the way it changes, often as a result of human intervention. Sponsored by the Mérieux Foundation and written by leading international specialists, this book provides first-class information about these new viruses.

By Jove

By: Marissa Doyle

For Theodora Fairchild, graduate school is a dream. The professors are fighting over her, she gets to study Latin and explore her knowledge of Greek gods with others who share her passion...and she meets Grant Proctor. He's as shy as she is, and oh so handsome. As she gives in to her feelings for the man who's stolen her heart, someone seems determined to keep them apart—no matter the consequences. There are evil forces at work, and they have plans for Theo that don't include Grant. When Grant disappears, surviving the semester becomes the least of Theo's worries. Her knowledge of ancient mythology may be her best weapon, and relying on her wits and wisdom may be the only thing to help her save her true love.

Lyrics and Larceny: A Light-hearted Regency Fantasy

The Ladies of Almack's Book 3

By: Marissa Doyle

A musical sensation A bold jewel thief A sneaking suspicion that it’s happened before... A rash of brazen jewel thefts across London society—just like one that happened decades ago—has Annabel and the Lady Patronesses of Almack’s on their guard. In the meanwhile, Annabel’s cousin Hartley, Viscount Mompesson, has fallen hard for Demetria Pouli, a bewitching Greek soprano with the voice of an angel who is taking London by storm. Hartley begs Annabel to help convince his overbearing mother that Demetria is the only wife for him…but Demetria’s aunts don’t approve of the match either. When the Ladies realize that the thefts coincide with Demetria’s recitals, they understand why they seem so familiar. But a happily-ever-after for Hartley and Demetria isn’t necessarily out of the question, thanks to the Ladies and—much to Annabel’s indignation—a little help from the Marquis of Quinceton… Lyrics and Larceny is the third installment in The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

Charles Bewitched

a Leland Sisters novella

By: Marissa Doyle

In this novella follow-up to Bewitching Season and Betraying Season, sixteen-year-old Charles Leland is not looking forward to his summer holidays from Eton—not when he has to spend them cramming history. Even the thought of staying with his sister Persy and her husband Lochinvar while his parents are in Ireland can’t cheer him up. But studying quickly takes a back seat to finding out what has happened to Persy, who disappears from home the day he arrives. All signs indicate that she’s been kidnapped, but a Romany boy named Nando convinces Charles that her disappearance has a much more otherworldly explanation. Now Charles must brave the perils of the fairy lands to try to prevent his sister from being forcibly married to a powerful fairy lord. With the help of the fairy lord’s own younger (and alarmingly pretty) sister, a copy of History and Policy of the Norman and Angevin Kings that he must read before September, and her majesty Queen Victoria, he just might succeed. But will he also be able to rescue himself?
