The Cat Men of Gotham

Tales of Feline Friendships in Old New York

By: Peggy Gavan

Winner of the 2019 Certificate of Excellence and MUSE Medallion from the Cat Writers Association The nineteenth century was a rough time to be a stray cat in New York City. The city’s human residents dealt with feline overpopulation by gassing unwanted cats or tossing them in rivers. But a few lucky strays were found by a diverse array of men—including firemen, cops, athletes, and politicians—who rescued them from the streets and welcomed them into their homes and hearts. This book tells the stories of these heroic cat men of Gotham and their beloved feline companions. Not only does it introduce us to some remarkable men, but we get to meet many extraordinary cats as well, from Chinese stowaways prowling the Chelsea Piers to the sole feline survivor of the USS Maine explosion. Among the forty-two profiles, we find many feline Cinderella stories, as humble alley cats achieved renown as sports team mascots, artists’ muses, and even presidential pets. Sure to appeal to cat fanciers and history fans alike, The Cat Men of Gotham will give you a new appreciation for Old New York and the people and animals who made it their home. As it takes you on a journey through the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn, it will amuse and astound you with tales of powerful men and their pussycats.

The Nurse Novel MEGAPACK®: 4 Classic Novels!

By: Alice Brennan,Peggy Gaddis,Ruth MacLeod,Rosie M. Banks

Reading trends change over the years. One of the now largely-forgotten genres of fiction was the "nurse novel"...which was itself a subset of the "doctor novel" and featured (what else?) the romantic adventures (usually with a doctor) of a nurse! Hundreds of nurse novels were published, with titles that sometimes stretched credulity. One of our contributors to this volume, Peggy Gaddis, seemed to specialize in nurses (she wrote dozens of books about them). Is it any wonder that authors sometimes had to stretch to find subjects that hadn’t already been covered? Titles like "Scandalous Nurse." "Future Nurse" (no, it’s not science fiction -- but it might have been!) "Nurse in the Tropics." "Resort Nurse." "Ozark Nurse." "Everglades Nurse." "Night Club Nurse." "Undercover Nurse." "Debutante Nurse." "Television Nurse." "Prison Nurse." "Poison Nurse." "Nurse Voodoo." "Hootenany Nurse." "The Nurse and the Pirate." The list goes on and on. Here are 4 classic nurse novels which will, I'm sure, whet your appetite for more: HOLLYWOOD NURSE, by Alice Brennan BAYOU NURSE, by Peggy Gaddis A NURSE FOR DR. STERLING, by Ruth MacLeod NAVY NURSE, by Rosie M. Banks If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more (even nurses!)

HER BODYGUARD

By: Peggy Nicholson

In a sumptious Newport Mansion… Gillian Mahler has a plan—take the job as soap opera star Lara Corday's personal assistant. Maybe she can endear herself to Lara first, then spring the news that Lara is her birth mother, who abandoned her as an infant twenty-eight years before. Trace Sutton has a plan, too—work undercover as a bodyguard, posing as Lara Corday's gigolo. Maybe then he can discover the identity of the faceless stalker who wants Lara dead. In Lara's sumptuous mansion high on a cliff above Newport, Rhode Island, Gillian and Trace meet—and attraction sparks right away. This certainly complicates their plans. Gillian can't possibly allow herself to fall for a man who's her long-lost mother's lover, and no way can Trace blow his cover as bodyguard—especially when some sleuthing reveals that Gillian has an excellent motive for murdering the woman he's guarding!
