Are lost or impaired memories better left untouched and forgotten? Will the presumed gift of rediscovery balance sacrifices and changed perspectives? And who has the right to decide? The suspense novel "Dark Garden Days" begins in November of 1995, as Gabrielle, a gifted artist, sits at an easel painting, in the darkening garden of the home she shares. Jonathan, one of her roommates, recognizes the bleak, disturbing colors on her canvas and knows they signal a going off on one of her mysterious trips. Before driving away, she runs to him and whispers a strange request and startling revelation beginning with "If...if ever I don't return...," then rushes off before he can respond. When she fails to return or communicate with anyone for more than a month, Jonathan and their mutual friends realize Gabrielle has cleverly diverted attention away from herself and they have no idea who she really is. Jonathan begins a quest to bring her home, following a trail of strange clues and frightening events. Meanwhile, Gabrielle, fearful of leading her "demon and terrors" to the one place she feels safe, is on a similar journey, searching for missing pieces of her broken life. Their paths, nearly intersecting at times, guide them toward a deadly shared destiny, as deception, murder and betrayal leave shards of distrust scattered along every pathway.

Este libro trata un tema que hasta hoy no es muy conocido; tres jóvenes, las cuales tenían raíces en el Viejo San Juan de Puerto Rico al comienzo del siglo-XX logran impresionantes hazañas en el cine, teatro, y la televisión. Esto, cuando la diáspora puertorriqueña era muy limitada y cuando eran pocas las mujeres boricuas que se destacaron en la farándula fuera de su país.Dos eran chicas que a temprana edad dejaron sus familiares en el Viejo San Juan; así sucedió con Blanca de Castejón y Mapy Cortés. La familia de la tercera salió de San Juan en los 1920s y como consecuencia, ella nació en Brooklyn de Nueva York. Sin embargo, cuando era niña la familia regresó al Viejo San Juan en un intento de re-establecerse en la antigua ciudad; esta fue Olga San Juan. Después de varios meses, la familia San Juan regresó a Brooklyn.Las tres jóvenes vivieron en Nueva York en los años cuando la gran metrópolis estaba experimentando todos los efectos de la era conocida como la época del jazz o The Jazz Age (un movimiento estadounidense que impactó a muchos países del mundo). Seguramente, las jóvenes no estaban conscientes que se convirtieran en productos de aquel extraordinario movimiento.Aunque el movimiento jazzista se concentró en la música, otros aspectos culturales también fueron afectados. La ropa o vestuario de hombres y mujeres cambió significativamente. Las artes plásticas a través de varios artistas fueron marcadas. Producciones fílmicas y teatrales también fueron impactadas por el jazz. Pero más importante, cambió la manera de pensar y el comportamiento de mujeres y hombres. Las mujeres lograron apropiar derechos y libertades sin precedentes. Se desenvolvieron agresivamente en la política y obtuvieron el poder del voto en elecciones gubernamentales.

Winchester's Annotated Anthology of Lost and Found Literature and the pair takes their place alongside other immortal, if not rare, two part trilogies including the Iliad and Odyssey by Homer, and Tolstoy's War and Peace.Once again T.E. Winchester, Esq. searches the unexplored, non-explored, or never to have been having had explored world (to use the present's past pluperfect future imperfect tense). There he discovers literature that has never seen the light of day, and perhaps with good reason. In this volume, selections range from Euripides to the Victorian era, and to the beyond. They are presented in their complete retranslated form that captures the original style, intent, and legal copyright restrictions under which the authors toiled.The styles of the assembled pieces are as varied as the backgrounds of the original authors. Those styles include plays (courtesy of Euripides from as far back as one of the BC years), living journals (from Colonel E.H. Blithering's famous, if not totally unknown, 1859 expedition to the Lost City of Ir, and other works which I haven't actually gotten around to reading, but I'm sure they promise to hold great entertainment value. I would hope that there are at least six of these other stories so that you, the reader, will, at least, get some value for your money. Of course, I can't promise anything. I am not a politician.Once again, I wish you the very best luck with this book as I can state with utmost confidence that it is of the highest quality in terms of physical if not written composition.- Pitch Mirabelle (Sidekick/Editor)

Both the Democratic and Republican parties are dysfunctional and no longer serve the American people adequately or fairly. Congress has an approval rating of less than 20 percent for a reason. With a few bright exceptions, Congress is a morass of self-serving, hypocritical elected officials. Wise & Reasoned addresses topics of deep concern-inequality, health care, the economy, water, prisons and jails, agriculture, infrastructure, immigration, government red tape and size, the tax code, unions, the welfare state, education, foreign affairs, global warming, abortion, guns, and LGBT-that both mainstream parties cannot or will not address in a proper fashion. It is time to hold both the Democrats and the Republicans accountable. Wise & Reasoned will inspire Independent voters, unregistered qualified voters, or unhappy Democratic and Republican voters to hold those in Congress to higher standards by taking action to form a new ombudsman third political party. Now is the time.

The last 14 months of the American Revolution, the final phase after Yorktown, were crucial for the declared "united States" to achieve their collective and sovereign independence. This groundbreaking, updated history of The Revolutionary War is based on recently deciphered and transcribed, first-person correspondence from the American military, civilian, political, and diplomatic leaders who were running the war. It brings to light the successful Southern Continental Army military strategy which resulted in taking back the lower South from British occupation and explains how that offensive was fundamental to creating the negotiating advantage that ended the war and awarded the thirteen colonies their independence. In this fascinating book, DAR Medal for Patriotism award-recipient Kenneth Scarlett analyzes the war's lesser-known battles, rapid troop movements, and the importance of territory possession, as well as the ethics of the war based on America's founding values and codes of military conduct. He explores the activities of a traitor who unintentionally changed the course of an uncertain war to one America could win and describes the management of the Southern war from concept to reality, beginning with the First Battle of Charlestown in 1776 to the British evacuation in 1782. The book acquaints readers with the possible options and decisions various commanders faced at critical moments in time, and how the complete defeat of the British Southern strategy won the war. Above all, it tells the forgotten stories of America's journey to collective, sovereign independence against all odds.Anyone interested in the upcoming 250-year American semi-quincentennial, and those who would like a roadmap of important places and battle sites for the upcoming celebrations are sure to enjoy this book. A portion of the book proceeds will be donated to the British-built Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon and new International Afric¿an American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina.

Welcome to Red City - a place with an origin story so unique tourism practically fuels the economy. Long considered a picturesque and enjoyable place to live, the city is shaken to its core by the grisly murders of five women, a set of crimes that painstakingly mimic a hallmark Comanche legend from the city's beginnings.

Under pressure to catch the killer(s) at all costs, and with the city's future and his sanity hanging in the balance, Johnny sells his soul to the devil by working in a "ends justify the means" manner and cashing in on the police department's quid pro quo with the city's drug trafficking gangs. Swift justice becomes Johnny's singular obsession, but will this anti-hero's actions be enough to get the job done?

As he reads the entries, Alex not only uncovers the dark reality surrounding the legend but also his own connection to Highland Ridge. Two questions now hang in the balance: what is he going to do about it? And what will the town of Highland Ridge do once they learn of its existence?
