Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A writer once denounced the Lone Star State as "where the Godly could battle 'the devil' on his own ground." Circuit riders and other early preachers confronted dangerous outlaws, Indians, wild animals, and Texas' unpredictable weather. Their stories chronicle bringing one element of civilization to early explorers and settlers. Some fought for Texas independence with a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other; others worked as drovers and preached along the cattle trails. One served as a deputy sheriff; others, as fort chaplains. European immigrant ministers and Negro preachers formed an unlikely mix in East Texas. The frontier lured them into all the danger, adventure, and challenge of others who faced the "devil in Texas." Circuit riders had preached to all regions of Texas before they "hung up their spurs and went to the camp meeting in the sky."

Book excerpt: The remarkable book has been out of print for over a century and yet is one of the most intimate and compelling personal memoirs of the Civil War. Widow Annie Turner Wittenmyer spent the years of the American Civil War in the thick of exploding shells, shattered bodies, exhausted souls, and the great figures of the war. She was an advocate for better medical treatment and better diets for fighting men and personally took her cause to Ulysses S. Grant and Abraham Lincoln. She held the hands and comforted many a wounded and dying solider from both sides and provided treatment to them alongside their doctors. She spares no detail and does not attempt to provide a history of the war. Her story is intimately human and will draw you in like few other memoirs. Julia Dent Grant was a friend with whom Wittenmyer spent time whenever Grant was at her husband's headquarters. She sat with Abraham Lincoln in his office at the White House discussing dietary issues when the telegram of Sheridan's victory in the Shenandoah arrived. With an introduction by Julia Grant, this book then opens with Wittenmyer's first meeting with General Grant. She has many stories of him here including how his 13-year-old son, Fred, rode the front lines with the General at Vicksburg daily. Wittenmyer spent the rest of her life as a social reformer and was friends with Margaret Sanger and many other luminaries of the temperance and suffragist movements. This is an account of sorrow and victory that you won't soon forget. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three “gritty, vivid, and suspenseful” books in the Edgar Award–winning series featuring South Florida PI Max Freeman (Harlan Coben). From a writer who “adds new dimensions of depth and substance to the modern crime novel,” this thrilling and critically acclaimed series follows a tormented ex-cop from Philadelphia to South Florida on a quest to earn redemption for his dark past (Michael Connelly). The Blue Edge of Midnight: After a shootout during a convenience store holdup led to the accidental death of a twelve-year-old, Max Freeman left the Philadelphia police department behind for a life in exile in the Florida Everglades. Since then, he’s lived in seclusion, haunted by guilt, with the humid night and the nocturnal predators of the swamp as his only company. But everything changes when he discovers a young girl’s body floating in the muddy waters and becomes the prime suspect for her murder. To prove his innocence, Freeman must find the real killer—and confront his own tortured soul—before it’s too late. A Visible Darkness: When five elderly women are murdered in Fort Lauderdale, Max Freeman is determined to get to the bottom of it. His friend, lawyer Billy Manchester, believes the crimes are tied to a conspiracy to collect on the women’s life insurance policies. But when Freeman uncovers a shocking betrayal, he soon realizes the gruesome plot reaches further than anyone thought possible. Now, it’s a race against the clock to hunt down the psychopath behind the murders—before the killer sets his sights on Freeman himself. Shadow Men: In the 1920s, three of Mark Mayes’s ancestors left to help build the first road through the Everglades, backbreaking labor from which they never returned. Now, decades later, Mayes has discovered letters that point to murder as the cause of their disappearance, and he hires Max Freeman to investigate. But as Freeman follows the trail of evidence, he incurs the wrath of the corporation that built the road—and realizes the case may not be as cold as everyone assumed.
