Book excerpt: Different as they are, the Varela brothers are bound by a decades-old secret surrounding the events of one long-ago night during their childhood back home in their native Belize. Today Patrick is the Miami-Dade County commissioner and a probable candidate for mayor of Miami, while his brother, Leo, a sometime poet and mental health worker, spends more time getting high than anything else. Still, they've both been struggling for years to completely sever their ties to their father, his illegal businesses, and his secrets. But those years quickly vanish the moment an old friend recently released from prison asks Leo to release a patient from the mental hospital where Leo works. He calls it a favor, but the threat is clear to Leo, Patrick, and---more dangerously---the men with a stake in Patrick's political career. The request sets off a chain of events destined to lay bare once and for all the truth about what happened that night, and maybe even to pit brother against brother in their efforts to finally set things right. Moody, atmospheric, and evocative, Lonesome Point showcases the distinct and rhythmic voice that makes Ian Vasquez a unique talent among today's crime writers.

Download or read book American Lonesome written by Gavin Cologne-Brookes and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Lonesome: The Work of Bruce Springsteen begins with a visit to the Jersey Shore and ends with a meditation on the international legacy of Springsteen’s writing, music, and performances. Gavin Cologne-Brookes’s innovative study of this popular musician and his position in American culture blends scholarship with personal reflection, providing both an academic examination of Springsteen’s work and a moving account of how it offers a way out of emotional solitude and the potential lonesomeness of modern life. Cologne-Brookes proposes that the American philosophical tradition of pragmatism, which assesses the value of ideas and arguments based on their practical applications, provides a lens for understanding the diversity of perspectives and emotions encountered in Springsteen’s songs and performances. Drawing on pragmatist philosophy from William James to Richard Rorty, Cologne-Brookes examines Springsteen’s formative environment and outsider psychology, arguing that the artist’s confessed tendency toward a self-reliant isolation creates a tension in his work between lonesomeness and community. He considers Springsteen’s portrayals of solitude in relation to classic and contemporary American writers, from Frederick Douglass, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Emily Dickinson to Richard Wright, Flannery O’Connor, and Joyce Carol Oates. As part of this critique, he discusses the difference between escapist and pragmatic romanticism, the notion of multiple selves as played out both in Springsteen’s work and in our perception of him, and the impact of performances both recorded and live. By drawing on his own experiences seeing Springsteen perform—including on tours showcasing the album The River in 1981 and 2016—Cologne-Brookes creates a book about the intimate relationship between art and everyday life. Blending research, cultural knowledge, and creative thinking, American Lonesome dissolves any imagined barriers between the study of a songwriter, literary criticism, and personal testimony.

Book excerpt: If Yasmin North knows one thing for sure, it’s that love sucks. That’s why she’s moving forward with her happily-ever-after solo plan, with the help of a sperm sample from a six-foot-two donor who apparently holds a doctorate in both computer science and social work. Meaning he’s brilliant and kind—talk about superior baby-making DNA. But when the sperm bank informs her the sperm she has her heart set on was mistakenly sold to her from the storage-only database, Yasmin declines the refund and sparks up a please-let-me-have-your-baby-batter email negotiation with the unnamed donor instead (albeit, not very successfully). Add in her mother’s prize-winning rooster terrorizing her around her parents’ farm and so far, her move back to Lonesome Point is proving less than ideal… The first time Noah O’Sullivan visited his cousin in Lonesome Point, Texas, he fell hard for the fun, quirky little town. So he’s not really surprised to find himself falling hard for a fun, quirky Lonesome Point girl. The moment Yasmin races past him, chased by a giant demon rooster, his gut utters two words—yes and mine. It’s clear he and Yasmin have an instant connection, but convincing the wounded woman to let him be her knight in faded blue jeans is proving harder than he expects. Especially when Noah discovers she’s the woman who was accidentally given his sperm sample… Previously published as Going Rate for Mr. Right © 2016 as a part of Erin Nicholas’s Sapphire Falls KindleWorld series.

She abandoned all hope of romance and embraced a hermit’s existence, keeping her distance from dangerous men and untamed cowboys. Until now… Years of hard knocks have taught Carter that the greatest adventure is the one he once found in Lula’s arms. He’s back in Lonesome Point determined to win back the only woman he’s ever loved, but Lula is just as determined to keep her heart under lock and key. She gives Carter twelve days—and twelve dates—to make his case before she sends him on his way, not counting on the fact that the two of them have grown into people even more meant to be.
