Book excerpt: Join me once more as we explore more stories of the forgotten with more tales of accidental and unexplained deaths to unsolved mysteries and forgotten murders. In this second volume of the "Stories of the Forgotten" series, I have uncovered eleven stories that had been lost to the annals of history. Travel with me to the Sacramento City Cemetery where you can visit a monument of love, or head over to the Ione Public Cemetery to learn about its most unique headstone and the sad story behind it. Learn about the tragic 1973 murders in Victor, California, where three families were destroyed by a pair of young serial killers, and then find out the true story behind the Babes in the Woods, the three little girls whose bodies were mysteriously found in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania. Then, follow me down to the historic Delta town of Locke, where you will learn the details about a tragic gambling game gone wrong. Next, we travel up to Virginia City, Nevada where I will show you by way of documented sources, the true and correct story behind Julia Bulette's life and death, including my debunking of many of the sensationalized accounts that have been spread as fact for the last several decades. While we're still in the Gold Rush era, let me share with you the over the top life of Fanny Hinkley-Mills a.k.a., Fanny Sweet, whose life was more like something out of an old dime store novel, with an endless series of scandals that followed her like a dark shadow all the way up until her death. Learn all about the peculiar case of Paul Whitice's death. Did he commit suicide? Or was it murder? Then, let's take a look at the Rancheria Murders, including the events that took place afterwards that ended the lives of many more people, including Amador County's first and only Sheriff to die in the line of duty, William Phoenix. In this book, I also take a more in depth look at the story of Anna Corbin's life and death which I have shared in my previous books and blogs. Anna's story is one that has been overly sensationalized on various paranormal programs on television over the years due to her murder taking place at the Preston School of Industry in Ione, California back in 1950. By way of further investigation and help from her family, I have put the pieces of her life & death together for a better perspective of the whole story. And lastly, learn the tragic account of Jennie Bowman, a domestic worker with a heart of gold who died defending the home of her employer during a robbery back in Louisville, Kentucky, 1867. In each case, I present to you a thoroughly researched accounting of every story. This allows you to draw your own conclusions and find out where many of their graves can be found in cemeteries within the United States.

Stine, author of Goosebumps "Do you know what it feels like to be forgotten?"On a cold winter night, Iris and her best friend, Daniel, sneak into a clearing in the woods to play in the freshly fallen snow. There, Iris carefully makes a perfect snow angel -- only to find the crumbling gravestone of a young girl, Avery Moore, right beneath her.Immediately, strange things start to happen to Iris: She begins having vivid nightmares. She wakes up to find her bedroom window wide open, letting in the snow. She thinks she sees the shadow of a girl lurking in the woods. And she feels the pull of the abandoned grave, calling her back to the clearing...Obsessed with figuring out what's going on, Iris and Daniel start to research the area for a school project. They discover that Avery's grave is actually part of a neglected and forgotten Black cemetery, dating back to a time when White and Black people were kept separate in life -- and in death. As Iris and Daniel learn more about their town's past, they become determined to restore Avery's grave and finally have proper respect paid to Avery and the others buried there.But they have awakened a jealous and demanding ghost, one that's not satisfied with their plans for getting recognition. One that is searching for a best friend forever -- no matter what the cost.The Forgotten Girl is both a spooky original ghost story and a timely and important storyline about reclaiming an abandoned segregated cemetery."A harrowing yet empowering tale reminding us that the past is connected to the present, that every place and every person has a story, and that those stories deserve to be told." -- Renée Watson, New York Times bestselling author of Piecing Me Together

Book excerpt: "Fun, fanciful, and even informative." —People The first comprehensive history of felines—from the laps of pagan gods to present-day status as meme stars—as revealed by a very learned tabby with a knack for hunting down facts Since the dawn of civilization, felines have prowled alongside mankind as they expanded their territory and spread the myth of human greatness. And today, cats are peddled on social media as silly creatures here to amuse humans with their antics. But this is an absurd, self-centered fantasy. The true history of felines is one of heroism, love, tragedy, sacrifice, and gravitas. Not entirely convinced? Well, get ready, because Baba the Cat is here to set the record straight. Spanning almost every continent and thousands—yes, thousands—of years, Baba’s complex story of feline survival presents readers with a diverse cast of cats long forgotten: from her prehistoric feline ancestors and the ancient Egyptian cat goddess Bastet to the daring mariners at the height of oceanic discovery, key intellectuals in the Enlightenment period, revered heroes from World Wars I and II, and the infamous American tabbies. Baba, a talented model in addition to a scholar, goes beyond surface-level scratches, pairing her freshly unearthed research with a series of stunning costume portraits to bring history to life. A paws-on journey through the feline hall of fame, with in-depth research and four-legged testaments that will make you rethink who defines history, A Cat’s Tale is a one-of-a-kind chronicle that introduces readers to the illustrious ancestors of their closest companions and shows, once and for all, that cats know exactly what they’re doing.
