The Cannery Row Murders

A John Granville & Emily Turner Historical Mystery

By: Sharon Rowse

When human bones are found in a vat of lye on Steveston’s notorious Cannery Row, John Granville is determined to find out why. In a time of frontier brawls and broken dreams, the fishing industry is vital to the survival of the young province and the people who live there. Tensions from a recent fishing strike abound, and Cannery Row is a tinderbox. Can Granville—with a little help from his fiancée, Emily Turner—identify the victim and find the killer in time to prevent all-out war? The Cannery Row Murders is a sharp-witted and engaging historical mystery, with strong characters set in a unique time and place. This is the fifth book in the John Granville and Emily Turner series. These books can be read in any order.

The Lost Mine Murders: A John Granville & Emily Turner Historical Mystery

A John Granville & Emily Turner Historical Mystery

By: Sharon Rowse

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. Fraud and double-dealing lead them ever deeper into trouble. THE LOST MINE MURDERS takes place in Vancouver and Denver in the winter of 1900, with a backstory the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. This is the second book in the John Granville & Emily Turner Mystery series, though they can be read in any order.

Southern Women Novelists and the Civil War

Trauma and Collective Memory in the American Literary Tradition Since 1861

By: Sharon Talley

During and after the Civil War, southern women played a critical role in shaping the South’s evolving collective memory by penning journals and diaries, historical accounts, memoirs, and literary interpretations of the war. While a few of these writings—most notably Mary Chesnut’s diaries and Margaret Mitchell’s novel, Gone with the Wind—have been studied in depth by numerous scholars, until now there has been no comprehensive examination of Civil War novels by southern women. In this welcome study, Sharon Talley explores works by fifteen such writers, illuminating the role that southern women played in fashioning cultural identity in the region. Beginning with Augusta Jane Evans’s Macaria and Sallie Rochester Ford’s Raids and Romance of Morgan and His Men, which were published as the war still raged, Talley offers a chronological consideration of the novels with informative introductions for each time period. She examines Reconstruction works by Marion Harland, Mary Ann Cruse, and Rebecca Harding Davis, novels of the “Redeemed” South and the turn of the century by Mary Noailles Murfree, Ellen Glasgow, and Mary Johnston, and narratives by Evelyn Scott, Margaret Mitchell, and Caroline Gordon from the Modern period that spanned the two World Wars. Analysis of Margaret Walker’s Jubilee (1966), the first critically acclaimed Civil War novel by an African American woman of the South, as well as other post–World War II works by Kaye Gibbons, Josephine Humphreys, and Alice Randall, offers a fitting conclusion to Talley’s study by addressing the inaccuracies in the romantic myth of the Old South that Gone with the Wind most famously engraved on the nation’s consciousness. Informed by feminist, poststructural, and cultural studies theory, Talley’s close readings of these various novels ultimately refute the notion of a monolithic interpretation of the Civil War, presenting instead unique and diverse approaches to balancing “fact” and “fiction” in the long period of artistic production concerning this singular traumatic event in American history. Sharon Talley, professor of English at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, is the author of Ambrose Bierce and the Dance of Death and Student Companion to Herman Melville. Her articles have appeared in American Imago, Journal of Men’s Studies, and Nineteenth-Century Prose.

All I Ever Did was Love a Man

By: Sharon Denise Allison-Ottey

No one said being a single mother was easy, but, after some difficult years, Sabrena Collins seemed to finally have it together. She had a good-paying job, two beautiful daughters who were growing up with love and security, and a wonderful friend who was more like the sister she never had. She even had a man in her life who was everything her ex-husband was not: kind, generous and caring. Everything seemed perfect—except for one thing. Steve said he loved her, but he was unreliable. There was more than one night when Sabrena would lie in bed, waiting for the phone to ring…alone and crying silent tears. But when Sabrena was in his arms and he looked at her with his melt-on-the-spot chocolate brown eyes, all the problems, the sleepless nights, the cold dinners, all of that was forgotten. And then, suddenly, Sabrena’s world was turned upside down by a simple visit that led her on a frightening and unfamiliar path, that led her to a truth passion and words of love could not erase, a truth that would change her life forever. A truth that would test her faith, her courage, her strength, and above all else, her love…

Wading Right In

Discovering the Nature of Wetlands

By: Catherine Owen Koning,Sharon M. Ashworth

Where can you find mosses that change landscapes, salamanders with algae in their skin, and carnivorous plants containing whole ecosystems in their furled leaves? Where can you find swamp-trompers, wildlife watchers, marsh managers, and mud-mad scientists? In wetlands, those complex habitats that play such vital ecological roles. In Wading Right In, Catherine Owen Koning and Sharon M. Ashworth take us on a journey into wetlands through stories from the people who wade in the muck. Traveling alongside scientists, explorers, and kids with waders and nets, the authors uncover the inextricably entwined relationships between the water flows, natural chemistry, soils, flora, and fauna of our floodplain forests, fens, bogs, marshes, and mires. Tales of mighty efforts to protect rare orchids, restore salt marshes, and preserve sedge meadows become portals through which we visit major wetland types and discover their secrets, while also learning critical ecological lessons. The United States still loses wetlands at a rate of 13,800 acres per year. Such loss diminishes the water quality of our rivers and lakes, depletes our capacity for flood control, reduces our ability to mitigate climate change, and further impoverishes our biodiversity. Koning and Ashworth’s stories captivate the imagination and inspire the emotional and intellectual connections we need to commit to protecting these magical and mysterious places.

Pieces of Heart

An Adoption Reunion

By: Sharon Linden

Imagine one day you had a knock on your door, and you opened it to find a stranger, but there was something so very familiar about that stranger, you could feel it tug at your heart. As you gazed into his eyes, he told you that you were his birth mother, and he'd been looking for you for so many years.... Would you welcome him into your arms, hold him tightly and weep with relief as you felt the beat of his heart rise and fall in rhythm with yours? Or would you slam that door shut? In 1970, nineteen-year-old Sharon Linden placed her newborn son into the arms of a Springfield, Illinois couple. For her, as for so many others, it was the ultimate sacrifice born out of a mother's love. But now a part of her was gone and the deep grieving began. From that day forward, a silent longing would remain to reconnect with her "long lost child." Thirty-eight years later, through the Internet, Sharon and her son Scott found one another. Here is their poignant story.... About the Author: Sharon Linden is a poet and short story writer who never dreamed that her first book would tell her own story. She wrote Pieces of Heart for all the women who have experienced the pain of giving up a child for adoption. She hopes that by sharing her experience, others too will be able to find a sense of closure. Her next book is a ghost story set in East Tennessee.

By: Dr. Sharon Zaffarese-Dippold

How do you hide from the monsters in your own house? Anna Snow, caught in the foster care merry-go-round, is still being shuffled from house to house, but none of them are ever really home. By the time she’s ten years old, she’s been moved nine times, three of them happening in under three months. Anna finds a measure of love in one home, but the system yanks her away, simply because her caring foster mother is Black. Anna’s also still dealing with the ache of being separated from her brother. Her only connection to him is the teddy bear he dropped as he was ripped from her arms. She’ll never see her brother again, but she clings to the bear, along with her treasured Raggedy Doll, reminding her she is not alone through each wrenching move. In each foster home she finds a place to hide from those hurting her, but she’ll soon discover she’ll need to find hiding spots again to escape a far more horrific kind of abuse. In this fourth book in the “Garbage Bag Life” series, Anna is forced to face unimaginable loss and the dangers to a young girl growing up in a system rife with groomers and abusers.

The British Soldier and his Libraries, c. 1822-1901

By: Sharon Murphy

The British Soldier and his Libraries, c. 1822-1901 considers the history of the libraries that the East India Company and Regular Army respectively established for soldiers during the nineteenth century. Drawing upon a wide range of material, including archival sources, official reports, and soldiers’ memoirs and letters, this book explores the motivations of those who were responsible for the setting up and/or operation of the libraries, and examines what they reveal about attitudes to military readers in particular and, more broadly, to working-class readers – and leisure – at this period. Murphy’s study also considers the contents of the libraries, identifying what kinds of works were provided for soldiers and where and how they read them. In so doing, The British Soldier and his Libraries, c. 1822-1901 affords another way of thinking about some of the key debates that mark book history today, and illuminates areas of interest to the general reader as well as to literary critics and military and cultural historians.

The Freedom of the Streets

Work, Citizenship, and Sexuality in a Gilded Age City

By: Sharon E. Wood

Gilded Age cities offered extraordinary opportunities to women--but at a price. As clerks, factory hands, and professionals flocked downtown to earn a living, they alarmed social critics and city fathers, who warned that self-supporting women were just steps away from becoming prostitutes. With in-depth research possible only in a mid-sized city, Sharon E. Wood focuses on Davenport, Iowa, to explore the lives of working women and the prostitutes who shared their neighborhoods. The single, self-supporting women who migrated to Davenport in the years following the Civil War saw paid labor as the foundation of citizenship. They took up the tools of public and political life to assert the respectability of paid employment and to confront the demon of prostitution. Wood offers cradle-to-grave portraits of individual girls and women--both prostitutes and "respectable" white workers--seeking to reshape their city and expand women's opportunities. As Wood demonstrates, however, their efforts to rewrite the sexual politics of the streets met powerful resistance at every turn from men defending their political rights and sexual power.

Second Chances

By: Sharon Sala

A chance encounter reunites a woman with the cowboy who stole her heart in the USA Today–bestselling author’s tender contemporary Western romance. It was the kind of encounter Billie had seen only in the movies, and never dreamed could happen to her. A rugged, sexy cowboy appeared from out of nowhere to stir her passions—and then, just as quickly, he was gone. For one brief moment in time the walls Billie had built around her heart tumbled. When it was over, she was sure their fiery passion would live on only as a bittersweet memory. Then fate leads Billie to a sprawling Texas ranch, and there he is again—Matt, her handsome, mysterious stranger, the best thing that had ever happened to her. Knowing that the pain of losing him a second time would be too much, her instinct is to run fast and far away. But Matt let Billie go once and he's not going to make the same mistake again—because nothing on Earth will stop him from grabbing a second chance at love.
