Book excerpt: Somebody feels threatened by Aggie's commitment to researching and writing the family history. Leaving threatening phone calls, emails, and faxes, the bad guy doesn't give up. Hiring a killer, a neophyte bad guy, this stalker trails Aggie and her double cousin to France, and on a river cruise, and then on a cross-country drive. The problem-what sort of scandal occured in the recent or distant past to send a family member on such a deadly quest? What could Aggie possibly uncover that's so awful as to require murder most foul? Aggie's research takes her and Lisa back to the past on a historical adventure, where we see the settling of the west, particularly Wyoming, through the eyes of the cousins' great-great-grandmothers. Meanwhile, in this day and age, one wonders what in the world possessed another cousin to marry a real loser, a teller turned bank VP after marrying the secretary of state. Also, Aggie's generation of cousins are bent on playing cupid, except they're in conflict about whom and why. Should they push Senator Steve Norman at Cousin Nasty, or devise romantic scenarios for Steve with Nicole, Aggie's granddaughter? These two sub-plots get in the way of Aggie's quest, one of which contributes to her search and her desperate efforts to save her own life, and the other sub-plot of which must inevitably foil the primary plot. (Aggie's Double Dollies, more than any other of the Aggie Morissey mysteries, helps to unravel the family saga)

Book excerpt: "In 1969, New Zealand's best-known poet, James K. Baxter, moved to Jerusalem on the Whanganui River to establish a community under the mana of the local hapū, Ngāti Hau. The Jerusalem commune proved a magnet for disaffected and damaged young people. As the setting for Baxter's celebrated late works, Jerusalem Sonnets, Jerusalem Daybook and Autumn Testament, it quickly became the country's most famous hippie community, as well as a media byword for the idealism and excess of the emerging youth culture. But what was life really like at Jerusalem, beyond the popular stereotypes? And what did it mean, for Ngāti Hau, to be deluged with long-haired strangers and with the media attention which followed them? Here, for the first time, events are reconstructed from the point of view of James K. Baxter's followers and of the local people who accepted them."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to the classic Dolly Parton film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and ZZ Top's ode "La Grange," many people think they know the story of the infamous Chicken Ranch. The reality is more complex, lying somewhere between heartbreaking and absurd. For more than a century, dirt farmers and big-cigar politicians alike rubbed shoulders at the Chicken Ranch, operated openly under the sheriff's watchful eye. Madam Edna Milton and her girls ran a tight, discreet ship that the God-fearing people of La Grange tolerated if not outright embraced. That is, until a secret conspiracy enlisted an opportunistic reporter to bring it all crashing down on primetime television. Drawn from exclusive interviews and expanded with newly uncovered information, Jayme Lynn Blaschke's revelatory exposition of the Ranch illuminates the truth and lies surrounding this iconic brothel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping exploration of the joys, hardships, and truths of Black students through intimate, honest dialogues and stunning photography, author of Heavy “A radical, reverential, and restorative document of community.”—Rebecca Bengal, author of Strange Hours: Photography, Memory, and the Lives of Artists When photographer Adraint Bereal graduated from the University of Texas, he self-published an impressive volume of portraits, personal statements, and interviews that explored UT's campus culture and offered an intimate look at the lives of Black students matriculating within a majority white space. Bereal's work was inspired by his first photo exhibition at the George Washington Carver Museum in Austin, entitled 1.7, that unearthed the experiences of the 925 Black men that made up just 1.7% of UT's total 52,000 student body. Now Bereal expands the scope of his original project and visits colleges nationwide, from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to predominantly white institutions to trade schools and more. Rather than dwelling on the monolith of trauma often associated with Black narratives, Bereal is dedicated to using honest dialogue to share stories of true joy and triumph amidst the hardships, prejudices, and internal struggles. Using an exciting and eclectic design approach to accompany the portraits and stories, each individual profile effectively conveys the interviewee's unique voice, tone, and background. The Black Yearbook reframes society's stereotypical perception of higher education by representing and celebrating the wide range of Black experiences on campuses.

Book excerpt: From the author of Truth Be Told (formerly titled Are You Sleeping)—now an Apple TV+ series of the same name—comes “a thriller for the Instagram age” (Amy Gentry, author of Good as Gone) for fans of Jessica Knoll and Caroline Kepnes. Everyone wants new followers…until they follow you home. Audrey Miller has an enviable new job at the Smithsonian, a body by Pilates, an apartment door with a broken lock, and hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers to bear witness to it all. Having just moved to Washington, DC, Audrey busies herself with impressing her new boss, interacting with her online fan base, and staving off a creepy upstairs neighbor with the help of the only two people she knows in town: an ex-boyfriend she can’t stay away from, and a sorority sister with a high-powered job and a mysterious past. But Audrey’s faulty door may be the least of her security concerns. Unbeknownst to her, her move has brought her within striking distance of someone who has obsessively followed her social media presence for years—from her first WordPress blog to her most recent Instagram Story. No longer content to simply follow her carefully curated life from a distance, he consults the dark web for advice on how to make Audrey his and his alone. In his quest to win her heart, nothing is off-limits—and nothing is private. Kathleen Barber’s new novel of suspense, hailed as “gripping, chilling” by Robyn Harding, author of The Perfect Family, is an electrifying new thriller that will have you scrambling to cover your webcam and digital footprints.

When a traffic accident forces Meghan to take a six-week leave-of-absence to recover, all three generations of DeFord women find themselves unexpectedly under the same roof. Meghan knows she will have to act as a mediator between the two headstrong and contentious women. But when they uncover Hazel’s painful secret, will Meghan also be able to use her investigative prowess to solve the family mystery and help both women recover all that’s been lost?
