Paperback. Condizione: Good. It is Marseille's summer of 2013, and an ensemble of Americans wander and sightsee this seductive city in the year of its designation as the European Capital of Culture. The Good Mother of Marseille opens with No mie, the American (Quebecoise) who experiences the most transformation. Hers is the unifying presence among the four narrative threads of this novel as she struggles to come to terms with Marseille as 'home' for her. In moments of many worlds meeting, Noemie becomes a confidant of Corey from New Jersey, a doctoral student from another university. In the old port, the wife of a small-town Alabama couple presses to see all the sights while her husband is losing his vision to an eye disease. A Colorado man with late-stage cancer and fear of the unexpected falls in love with a French woman he meets at a port caf . In Marseille and then in Paris, a woman helps her journalist husband figure out what is happening in his head as he experiences a peculiar stress disorder. Hovering on the fringe are the Marseillais, the shopkeepers, artists, caf waiters. To the rhythm of European street life, each American puts a Marseille experience in the context of their own histories. Marseille with its hot dangerous streets, its bars, and beautiful churches becomes a character in this fresh and original novel. Here we glimpse anew intriguing and moving facets of human nature so skillfully and believably portrayed. --Sheila Kohler, author of 13 books, most recently a memoir, Once We Were Sisters The Good Mother of Marseille is a remarkable work of imagination, a debut novel that not only introduces us to a gifted writer of fiction, but offers a beguiling glimpse into the zeitgeist of a generation's appetite for the exotic and the mysterious. In the Hemingway tradition, its many linked stories gel into one compelling story of Americans abroad. Shade's sensitivity toward his characters is infectious, and, quite frankly, unforgettable. --Philip Schultz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author most recently of Luxury and The Wherewithal: A Novel in Verse Shade has written a veritable bouillabaisse of a novel, simmering with intrigue and steaming with surprises. --Lorea Canales, author of Becoming Marta and Los Perros.…

In this thrilling Afro-fantasy, the first set in the lush, opulent kingdom of Galla, a girl raised in secret must leave her sheltered rural home for the subtle dangers of the royal court, where she becomes caught up in deadly power struggles and romantic intrigue. Kalothia has grown up in the shadows of her kingdom, hidden away in the forested East after her parents were outed as enemies of the king. Raised in a woodland idyll by a few kindly adult caretakers, Kalothia can hunt and fish and fend for herself but knows little of the outside world. When assassins attack her home on her sixteenth birthday, she must flee to the king's court in the West--a beautiful but lethal nest of poison, plots, and danger, overseen by an entrenched patriarchy. Guided by the Goddess herself, can Kalothia navigate this most worldly of places to find her own role? What if she must choose between her country and her heart?

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This novella is the third book in the Forbes Road Series. The advance into the Ohio Country is on October 1764: A powerful British force crosses the Allegheny River from Fort Pitt to march against the Delaware, Mingo, and Shawnee tribes of Ohio, now in their second year of savage insurrection against British rule and colonial settlement. The expedition includes battle hardened regulars of the Royal Americans and the Black Watch, supported by tough Virginia and Maryland riflemen and provincials of the Pennsylvania Regiment. At their head is the man the tribal chiefs fear the most: Colonel Henry Bouquet. He is a brilliant mercenary officer who skillfully blends European and Indian tactics to make his men the match of tribal warriors. Bouquet is determined to force the warring chiefs to peace negotiations or defeat them in battle. But the colonel faces an enemy he can never conquer: The impending onset of winter weather which could trap his force in the wilds of the Ohio Country, far from its base of supply and ultimately spell disaster for the expedition. Beautiful, auburn haired Mary Fraser is a sixteen year-old orphan of the Black Watch and former lover of frontier gunsmith and rifleman Wend Eckert. Now recovered from the near fatal wound she received at the Battle of Bushy Run, the highland girl accompanies the expedition as a nurse, her heart broken because she has lost Eckert to another woman through an ugly trick of fate. Little does she know that her name will soon be linked to scandal with that of traitorous merchant and political manipulator Richard Grenough. Moreover, Mary's selfless and valiant attempt to protect Eckert's five year old son --- a captive of the Mingo Indians --- from mortal danger lands her deep in trouble with the officers of her regiment. Suddenly she finds her reputation in shambles and the future life she has labored so hard to achieve in grave jeopardy. The outcome of the campaign and Mary's fate will be decided by bloody skirmish on a narrow trail deep in the Ohio Country.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. I collect lakes. I have for years. I can't bring a lake home, like a butterly or baseball card and put it in a display case or album. So, I walk around each lake in one fell swoop. This way I can best capture and form an uninterrupted connection with the spirit of the water, the land, the people, and my inner self. Learning to Walk is a refreshingly original approach to the memoir. The author keeps a journal while walking, reflecting insightfully on both the present and the past. In the present he walks as far as seventy-eight miles in three days around Seneca Lake, and as little as one lap around the local reservoir. The intoxicating rhythm of walking leads to inner exploration and reflection. Whatever the external or internal distance covered, the author treats all with a singular respect and unassuming sensitivity. It may be present-day delights such as watching the aerial acrobatics of a red-tailed hawk, the satisfaction of covering thirty-nine miles in one day, or the confusion of a delinquent boyhood and struggling in boot camp.The author exemplifies the TS Eliot quote: "We must not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time." In Richard Shade Gardner's walking and journaling, the "place" is physical and conceptual.Gardner has a finely-tuned finesse with episodic storytelling and dialogue, recounting observations and describing characters he meets. The book's 125 vignettes flow from present-to-past and back, keeping the reader in constant motion, much the same as a good long walk, and result in a book that is almost impossible to put down.…
