When she takes on yet another cheating husband case, Barbara quickly finds herself tangled up in decades-old secrets. And chasing a killer. With a client she admires but can’t—quite—trust, and the murders piling up, nothing is making sense. Except Barbara’s uneasy feeling that she’s running out of time. As Barbara searches for answers buried deep in the past, the killer is searching for her…

Everyday Magicians

Legal Records and Magic Manuscripts from Tudor England

By: Sharon Hubbs Wright,Frank Klaassen

Most of the women and men who practiced magic in Tudor England were not hanged or burned as witches, despite being active members of their communities. These everyday magicians responded to common human problems such as the vagaries of money, love, property, and influence, and they were essential to the smooth functioning of English society. This illuminating book tells their stories through the legal texts in which they are named and the magic books that record their practices. In legal terms, their magic fell into the category of sin or petty crime, the sort that appeared in the lower courts and most often in church courts. Despite their relatively lowly status, scripts for the sorts of magic they practiced were recorded in contemporary manuscripts. Juxtaposing and contextualizing the legal and magic manuscript records creates an unusually rich field to explore the social aspects of magic practice. Expertly constructed for both classroom use and independent study, this book presents in modern English the legal documents and magic texts relevant to ordinary forms of magic practiced in Tudor England. These are accompanied by scholarly introductions with original perspectives on the subjects. Topics covered include: the London cunning man Robert Allen; magic to identify thieves; love magic; magic for hunting, fishing and gambling, and magic for healing and protection.

Heritage Politics in Adelaide

Heritage Politics in Adelaide

By: Sharon Mosler,Sharon Ann Mosler

In the 1970s the Australian Commonwealth Government and three States, Victoria (1974), New South Wales (1977) and South Australia (1978), passed legislation to protect the built heritage within their jurisdictions. The legislation was primarily a response to two factors: a large number of public protests against the demolition of historic buildings in all Australian states by the 1970s and the influence of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, which the Whitlam Government (1972-75) embraced enthusiastically. The other states, with governments that were more influenced by development interests, were slow to follow the federal lead. In this study, Sharon Mosler examines heritage issues and conflicts in Adelaide from enactment of the first South Australian Heritage Act in 1978 to its successor in 1993, and also analyses issues leading from that period into the twenty-first century. State legislation introduced by the Labor government of Premier Mike Rann (2002 - present) has affected the built environment significantly since this book began. The Rann government has given the built heritage a low priority in its strategic plan compared to population growth, while the Adelaide City Council has become more balanced in the past decade, although the council too has focussed on increasing Adelaides population. The result has been more high-rise buildings at the expense of heritage conservation and historic precincts.

A John Granville & Emily Turner Historical Mystery

John Granville is offered a fortune to find a lost gold mine, one that legend says is protected by more than secrecy—and nearly turns it down. But the search for his partner's stolen niece has stalled until one of their leads comes through. They willl need travel funds to find the child––and to buy her freedom. Saving a child's life is worth whatever danger they might face. And how much trouble can a lost mine really be? Granville and his partner find themselves targeted by murderous claim jumpers who want the mine—if it even exists—for their own greedy purposes. Meanwhile Granville’s engagement to Emily Turner is bringing her too much attention, of the lethal kind. Can their quick thinking and quicker action can save them and those they care about? In this sequel to the critically acclaimed THE SILK TRAIN MURDER, gentleman-adventurer Granville and his fiancée—or is she?—the feisty Emily Turner get drawn into a search for a legendary lost gold mine.

By: Sharon Historical Society

At the turn of the 20th century, Sharons very existence was threatened by the collapse of the local iron industry as the towns economy and population began to decline. However, the popularity of automobile transportation and Sharons accessible distance from New York attracted a class of wealthy visitors who fell in love with the rolling hills and quiet valleys. This new weekend population purchased land and built stately country homes, reigniting interest in the area. Steady growth in construction provided much-needed work, and commerce began to thrive again. Early businesses expanded, and new operations opened. Local residents could shop at stores run by the Gillette brothers and A.R. Woodward, fill their tanks at Herman Middlebrooks gas station, and have their health care needs attended to by doctors at the state-of-the-art Sharon Hospital, built in 1916. Eastern Europeans became the towns newest residents, taking advantage of the affordable, cleared land to fuel a large number of highly successful farms. Sharons residents thrived as they reshaped their town, welcoming newcomers and nurturing a community of inclusion that lasts to the present day.
