Fall under the spell of three otherworldly tales of ancient myth and mystery. THE FOREVER KING by New York Times Bestselling Authors Warren Murphy and Molly Cochran When ten-year-old Arthur Blessing finds a strange antique cup, he has no idea it’s the most sought after object in history. Nor does he realize the discovery of the Holy Grail will take him on a journey that defies the rules of space and time. As the cup’s fate-appointed guardian, Arthur must protect it from dark magic and a madman determined to harness the Grail’s legendary power. The mission threatens his very life, with assassins aligned against him at every turn. DRAGON’S EYE by James A. Hetley The island township of Stonefort, Maine is home to the Morgans, one-time pirates and now shadowy criminals who live by two cardinal rules—protect the family and never foul your own nest. Kate Rowley, part-time town constable and odd-job specialist, is a high-school dropout who solves problems with her muscles and her fists. And Alice Haskell, EMT and emergency room nurse, doubles as the latest Haskell Witch, a Naskeag shaman with power over both whites and First People through her ties with the spirits of Stonefort's land and water. Now an outside power threatens the ancient balance—white and Indian alike, law and lawbreaker alike. THE SUMMER COUNTRY by James A. Hetley Maureen Pierce works the night shift in a convenience store, carries a .38 Smith & Wesson in her pocket, and talks to trees. She knows enough clinical psychology to think that when the trees answer, it proves she's crazy. She can live with that, until the truth reaches out to her on her way home one cold February night: She isn’t truly human. Now her blood heritage drags her from Maine into ancient myth three steps away from the modern world. Camelot is dead. Arthur is dead. Law is dead. Maureen can become either a slave or a mighty witch, but her own dark past may be her worst enemy.
Fanfiction clashes with reality when an anonymous fic writer meets the real-life celebrity behind her stories ... who happens to secretly be her top reader , in a romantic comedy perfect for fans of Thank You For Listening and Mr. Wrong Number. By day, Diana works as a line cook at her family's French café in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, juggling brunch service and finicky customers. She's happy to help at the café, but it's financially in dire straits, and she's not sure how much longer she can help keep things going. By night, she escapes into the Sam Raymond fandom, penning smutty real-person fanfiction (RPF) about the dreamy rockstar-of-the-moment for thousands of readers. And those readers are eating it up more than usual after a vocal injury that's sidelined Sam's tour. One of Diana's most avid followers, the mysterious "S," has even sent her a series of flirtatious DMs on Tumblr. When the real Sam Raymond shows up at the Diana's café for brunch, her carefully separated worlds collide (and she's gotta make the best goddamn lemon crème crêpes of her life). Despite her nerves, the crêpes are a hit, and Sam keeps coming back for more; soon, the two strike up an easy friendship over their shared taste in music and love of NYC. But Sam has secrets of his own. He's finding it harder and harder to suppress his panic attacks, with setbacks slowing his vocal recovery and threatening a potential end to his singing career. The only comfort he finds is in interacting with a clever online fic writer in, embarrassingly, his own fandom. And then he meets Diana. As Sam isolates himself away from his normally chaotic life, he becomes intrigued by this cute chef and her big, boisterous family. He can't help but spend more time at the classic French bistro they call home. As the writer and the rockstar grow closer, Diana must balance her connection with S and attraction to Sam— and her guilt in keeping up her pseudo-Sam-themed stories, which she knows is her best chance to get out of the kitchen and become a professional writer. Meanwhile, Sam is forced to confront the anxiety threatening to break him once and for all, or he risks losing both his connection with Diana and his career. Will this end in OTP or disaster?
Molly McClain tells the remarkable story of Ellen Browning Scripps (1836-1932), an American newspaperwoman, feminist, suffragist, abolitionist, and social reformer who used her fortune to support women's education, the labor movement, and public access to science, the arts, and education. Born in London, Scripps grew up in rural poverty on the Illinois prairie. She went from rags to riches, living out that cherished American story in which people pull themselves up by their bootstraps with audacity, hard work, and luck. She and her brother E.W. Scripps built America's largest chain of newspapers, linking Midwestern industrial cities with booming towns in the West. Less well known today than the papers started by Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, Scripps newspapers transformed their owners into millionaires almost overnight. By the 1920s Scripps was worth an estimated $30 million, most of which she gave away. She established the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, and appeared on the cover of Time magazine after founding Scripps College in Claremont, California. She also provided major financial support to organizations worldwide that promised to advance democratic principles and public education. In Ellen Browning Scripps McClain brings to life an extraordinary woman who played a vital role in the history of women, California, and the American West. Molly McClain is a professor of history at the University of San Diego. She is the author of Beaufort: The Duke and His Duchess, 1657-1715 and Schaum's Quick Guide to Writing Great Essays. She also coedits the Journal of San Diego History.
