Under her dilapidated porch, he finds more than he bargained for: the largest, ugliest, meanest dog he’s ever encountered...and a Samsonite suitcase stuffed with cash and explosives. As Ash begins to investigate this unexpected discovery, he finds himself at the center of a plot that is far larger than he could have imagined...and it may lead straight back to the world he thought he’d left for good.

Book excerpt: "DePoy, a folklorist, excels at providing local color and creating complex characters. The story unfolds slowly and lyrically, giving readers a sense of small-town Appalachian atmosphere." –Booklist on A Minister's Ghost "By far DePoy's best, with top-notch plotting, full-blown characters, and a bit of Shakespeare thrown in." – Kirkus Reviews (starred) on A Minister's Ghost Fever Devilin, born and raised amongst the hill country folk of the Georgia Appalachians, left home a long time ago and pursued an education, then a career, in the wider outside world. A folklorist by inclination and profession, he left the strange world of academia behind to return to his family-home in the if-anything-stranger mountain town he grew up in. But oddness follows Fever wherever he goes and Blue Mountain, Georgia is no different. When a man shows up at his house, claiming to be over a hundred years old even though he looks like he's in his 30's, Fever is pretty sure his guest is not right. When the man starts to wave a gun around, then falls suddenly asleep immediately afterward, Fever thinks he's both "not right" and "dangerous" and slips out to call the sheriff. The sheriff, Fever's childhood friend, has been hearing reports of this particular vagrant all day but before he can get out there, the man disappears. In the early morning, the body of man that fits the description of the mysterious vagrant is found by the side of the road, shot to death. But, although the body is wearing the same clothes that the vagrant was, it isn't the same person.

Book excerpt: "Stryker" I'm a drifter. A man born to ride through this world alone. There used to be a time when I thought I was the rescuing type. I enlisted in the Marines and made it my duty-I was going to save lives. I was going to be a true American hero. But God had another plan. Or maybe Satan did. For everything I touch finds mortality. I'm no hero. I'm nothing. I'm a veteran biker, a former nomad who survived war only to live in hell. Now I ride with the Satan's Knights of Brooklyn and I'm drifting into a different kind of chaos. The kind that revolves around a pretty girl with intoxicating green eyes. A girl who has the power to turn me inside out. A girl who doesn't need anyone to rescue her because she's her own savior. Until she's not. But a man plagued by war and the devil inside him can never be her hero. Gina Spinelli Strong. Independent. Fierce. They are the three things I strived to be. But sometimes being successful can be lonely. Sometimes a girl just wants to be a girl and have someone take care of her. Maybe even love her. Sometimes the strong become vulnerable. Or worse, the victor becomes the victim. Sometimes we lose control or in my case it's stripped from you. Defeated. Broken. Haunted. They are the three things I have become. In my darkest hour I admit defeat. In my darkest hour I need one person. I need him. Stryker. ***NOTE:Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, sensitive subjects, offensive language, and mature topics. Recommended for age 18 years and up. ***

Abstract: This research took a different standpoint from conventional juvenile delinquent approach in understanding young night drifting behaviour in Hong Kong. It adopts a spatial-temporal approach in understanding how young night drifting is motivated by wider environment. The backdrop to this research was Tseung Kwan O. It investigates (i) how social environment of a young night drifter situated at affect their use of time and motivates them in engaging in young night drifting; (ii) the spatial characteristics of Tseung Kwan O in encouraging young night drifting behaviour; and (iii) characteristics that demonstrate that young night drifting is a product of the interplay between social environments of a young night drifter and the spatial characteristics of Tseung Kwan O. Four in-depth interviews were conducted with young night drifters in Tseung Kwan O for the purpose of exploring the effects of social environment on their use of time. Two interviews with social workers and field observations were conducted to understand the spatial characteristics of Tseung Kwan O. Research findings indicate that young night drifting in Tseung Kwan O results from the interaction between time and space. The social environment of a young individual would generate a time schedule that motivates young night drifting. Coupled with availability of public spaces and the lack of youth facilities in Tseung Kwan O, night-time schedule is established and facilitated. Night activities have become more visible and young individuals whom consumes the night are easily labelled as young night drifters. This research highlights the significance in understanding young night drifting in Tseung Kwan O from an alternative perspective. It suggests that instead of a form of juvenile delinquency, it should be considered as a product of the inadequacy of the environment they are situated in. Subjects: Street youth - China - Hong Kong
