The act of becoming begins with context, body, the swell of a woman’s hip lit by cascading sunlight through a balmy spring window, the touch of heavenly winds across a hot face. We brush our toes into the sandy beaches of our coastlines and rich textures of pleasure seep into our feet. We were made beautifully, wonderfully. Body and mind together, as a single unit. Humankind does not hold license to call its collective body a horrible, ghastly entity rutting itself toward global destruction. As a race we are too hard on ourselves. We implant our newborns with social structures, infantile cooes and gender roles, until they grow enough to ask why." Melissa Ratajczak Ratel, The Beauty of Pride Particles of meaning draped whole-heartedly across the skies as day breaks, as night falls, in the in between before the storm and that first big breath.

Kex is the administrator of the Eidon Academy, a college with an interdimensional porthole on campus, and the intellectual center of a recently seceded Southern California. Roberto and his wife Sasha are busy acting out a bad campus novel, with infidelities and academic intrigues, when the known universe undergoes some fundamental changes. Kex is more than a human being, it appears, but also an avatar around whom mandala-like emanations revolve, frequencies whose meaning Roberto must discern if he is to legitimize his new Department of Cartography . . .

Many of the people and events in Blount County history are well documented. Others, not so much. This book of essays is an attempt to revisit some of the well known events of our county's past, add a little more background, and present our history from a Blount County point of view. In addition to illuminating some familiar topics, this book attempts to bring to light people and events who played significant roles in the development of Blount, but were somehow overlooked or skimmed over by the primary reference books-people and events which were the topic of conversation among our ancestors but over time, have been forgotten. These fun to read tales will promote a greater understanding of the history of Blount County.
includes the list of questions asked of the original claimants, and the line by line transcription of all existing claims for Winston County made to the Southern Claims Commission.
John Dee is a magician in Los Angeles. He is going insane. My Name Is Dee is a ruthless, tightly plotted noir that shies away from easy explanations and easily defined heroes and villains. It is a novel for the educated reader who enjoys noir action, intrigue and dark romance, for the child in all of us who wants to go on adventures, and for the fearful adult too who marvels at the terrifying scale of this universe. John Dee is a magician, but he's chiefly a Hollywood fixer: he makes things happen for the monied, including murder. In "moral compensation" for his services as a ruthless mercenary, Dee has sworn to himself to protect writers in Los Angeles from the dark energies of the city. One such writer, Sandra, his friend, is then kidnapped. The noir trajectory of Dee's search for the missing woman takes the reader on a journey from Los Angeles into the corridors of the human mind as Dee fights psychic battles with an autistic boy named Johnny, into the eternally complex relationship between "natural" and "artificial" intelligence as Dee learns to love his AI son Albert, and into xenopolitical relations between humans and Foo, the neighboring aliens in their UFOs, and further with Chaimougkos, a huge interdimensional alien presence whose will, aims and extent of influence appear vast. To rescue the girl and save his own life, Dee must come to understand himself, must reconcile with his AI son, must, dare I say it, battle interdimensional aliens. And he must choose what moral course his life is going to take: can he stand to still wear the grey hat?
Remarriages" is for the outcast and the disappointed. Dark poems riding wildly through the mind of an angry man who both loves and hates the world. .... Dunn's poetry is psychological and raw, with a delicate balance between light and darkness. Roxana Nastase
