Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1835, the cold New Orleans streets are alight with masked Mardi Gras revelers as the American Theater’s impresario, Lorenzo Belaggio, brings a magnificent yet controversial operatic version of Othello to town. But it’s pitch-black in the alley where free man of color Benjamin January hears a slurred whisper, spies the flash of a knife, and is himself wounded as he rescues Belaggio from a vicious attack. Could competition for audiences—or for Belagio’s affections—provoke such violent skulduggery? Or is Shakespeare’s tragic tale, with its spectacle of a black man’s passion for a white beauty, one that some Creole citizen—or American parvenu—would do anything to keep off the stage? The soaring music will lead January into a tangle of love, hate, and greed more treacherous than any onstage drama, as he must discover who is responsible...and who will Die Upon a Kiss.

Download or read book The Kiss of Death written by Andrea Kitta and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disease is a social issue, not just a medical issue. Using examples of specific legends and rumors, The Kiss of Death explores the beliefs and practices that permeate notions of contagion and contamination. Author Andrea Kitta offers new insight into the nature of vernacular conceptions of health and sickness and how medical and scientific institutions can use cultural literacy to better meet their communities’ needs. Using ethnographic, media, and narrative analysis, this book explores the vernacular explanatory models used in decisions concerning contagion to better understand the real fears, risks, concerns, and doubts of the public. Kitta explores immigration and patient zero, zombies and vampires, Slender Man, HPV, and the kiss of death legend, as well as systematic racism, homophobia, and misogyny in North American culture, to examine the nature of contagion and contamination. Conversations about health and risk cannot take place without considering positionality and intersectionality. In The Kiss of Death, Kitta isolates areas that require better communication and greater cultural sensitivity in the handling of infectious disease, public health, and other health-related disciplines and industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was still in the red dress. Her hair glittered under the dark sky. Both billowed behind her in the wind. She stood at the edge of the cliff where he'd nearly dove and ended his life, following the notes of her voice. She was holding his notebook. His tattered five-cent notebook from Woolworth's. And reading his words. With tears catching on each syllable. "I still plan to finish that," he said, approaching her carefully with a sudden need to clear his throat. "It's not my best writing, really." She faced him. "It's like poetry, when you write." Ben clutched his heart, attempted to feign embarrassment, but the real thing flushed through him. "That means the world...coming from you." She closed the notebook, but she didn't hand it to him. Instead, she clasped it to her chest. "Are you here to stop me?" "Yes." "Because you can't live without me." "Yes." "Even if you'll die?" * * * * * A BWWM Romance about a girl who spends her entire life thinking she is cursed, and the man who never expected to fall for her. Benjamin Strickland, head writer for The Daily Newspaper in New York City, assumes his latest story is exactly what the newspaper wants. However, the paper decides to take a new direction, and it's a direction Ben is certain he doesn't want to follow. So he quits, in the middle of the day, knowing the brash decision could possibly leave him blackballed by the entire journalism community. His decision leads him to Abigail Rossino, a feminist photographer who shows him the image that will change Ben's life forever as he knows it: a woman with blue hair who lives in the mountains on the Caribbean island of Oyster Key. She is known to the islanders as La Fanesta--the ghost--and legend has it that she was banished to the mountains having been born cursed with a deadly, poisonous touch reminiscent of King Midas. Ben follows Abigail to Oyster Key expecting a story instead about a girl raised in isolation, an exposé about another feral child of the twentieth-century sure to win him the coveted Pulizter prize. What he doesn't count on is rare beauty and kindness. Laughter and friendship. Finding, for the first time in his life, something more important to him than the latest major scoop. And falling into a love he could have never written...even in his wildest headline. A slow burn romance that is part of the anticpated Flashback Series, but can be read as a standalone.
