Book excerpt: Frightened, they sent for Beyonder children to help. Those who come must always tell the truth. Although those children haven't yet arrived, the Little People, or Twith, are celebrating their victory in escaping detection. But now, the Wizard sets in motion an even more brilliant plan and doesn't intend to suffer defeat again. In the Wizard Strikes Twice you will find out how a birthday party gets turned topsyturvy and what trickery the Wizard uses to achieve his goals. The Twith realize they will need to take the battle into their homeland, but they must find a way through the invisible curtain that the Wizard put up all along the borders. Dayko's Rime, a poem written by the old high seer, gives clues to what must happen before the Twith can win the victory. Much of it remains a mystery, and the Twith enlist the help of Gumpa's brother to resolve some of that. When the Wizard Strikes Twice, you will fear for what might happen to these vulnerable tiny folk. Will they be able to overcome the wiles of the powerful Wizard or will they find themselves at his mercy?

Or e'en a thousand?Seven Little People, only half a thumb high, escaped when the wicked Wizard of Wozzle invaded their homeland many centuries ago. Up until recently, they lived quite securely and secretly at Gibbins Brook Farm. When he discovered their hiding place, however, he attacked, hoping to capture the lot. Frightened, they sent for truthful Beyonder children to help. Four have arrived, and soon the birds will bring even more help. But now, the wizard sets into motion an even more brilliant plan and does not intend to suffer defeat again. In the Wizard Strikes Twice Bajjer's birthday party goes topsy-turvy when a birthday present turns out to be something definitely not on his wish list.

Dayko's Rime, a poem written by the old high seer, gives clues to what must happen before the Twith can attain victory. With a lot of guessing and mystery, the Twith lay plans to repel the wizard's second strike and inflict a blow of their own. When the Wizard Strikes Twice, will the vulnerable tiny folk's plans succeed or fail against the wizard's magic? Will they be able to overcome the wiles of the powerful wizard or will they find themselves at his mercy?

Book excerpt: Beyonders in Gyminge picks up where The Wizard Strikes Twice left off: the wizard has captured gran'ma and taken her to Goblin Castle, where she is now only half a thumb high. Gumpa is frantic to rescue her. The Beyonder children join forces with the Little People for the long march to Gyminge. In Beyonders in Gyminge, you will hold your breath as the rescue team navigates unexpected encounters and goblin ambushes. Jock has only half of his forces with him. The other half had to stay behind to defend the farmhouse against attack. The wizard is confident the goblin king and his troops can handle the invaders even though he has most of the goblin army with him on the Brook. In Beyonders in Gyminge, the fifth installment of The Twith Logue Chronicles, surprises await the rescue team all along the trail. As they approach the castle, events turn into a comedy of errors. The battle is fierce and some are badly hurt. What will happen to the Little People now?

Book excerpt: FUNNY, SAD, ENLIGHTENING--- THOUGHT PROVOKING INSIGHTS INTO AMERICAN HISTORY AND LIFE IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY-- NOT JUST ANOTHER JADED AMERICAN PYSCHE--- TAKE THE JOURNEY WITH TRAVIS N. TARKINGTON, A ROGUE DRONE KNOWN AS NINER, AND A CLONE NAMED ZEL AS THEY SEARCH FOR ANSWERS TO HOW HU-MANIMALS BECAME THE LEAST VALUED OF ALL SPECIES AND HOW THE ETERNALS CAME TO POWER. HE WEAVES A HUMOROUS YET DARK PICTURE OF THE FUTURE. "It was when I first read CS Lewis that I began to see that astute and watchful men were aware of this progressive movement during the ages in which they lived. Anyway, what Lewis was saying about his world in the 1940's was that socialism already waxed a sway over people. He talks about society being ignorant (willingly so) due to their attachment to the existing humanistic philosophies of his generation. Lewis wasn't the only writer to see this blackness creeping into the political agenda of men. Hundreds of writers throughout history knew of this sinister thread being woven into the mural of mankind. I had only found one small thread. I wanted to know how we got to the point where our own government killed us and called us Hu-manimals instead of people. It is so outrageous, so insane that I couldn't believe it myself, and how did you convince others of a plot even you could not believe? I needed proof. Of course the SG had sent these flying bird drones to kill off us remaining stragglers. The cowards had not come themselves. It was a numbing realization to know you were targeted for extinction. It struck me that reality had flipped flopped. It was hunting season in reverse. Blimy! This time the drone birds had the guns, and they were shooting first!" A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY, TRUTH, AND ONE THAT BY THE END BECOMES AS CLEAR AS A YELLOW BRICK ROAD-

Book excerpt: King Vidor (1894-1982) had the longest career of any Hollywood director, and his works include some of the most dramatic, sublime moments in the history of American cinema. Regarded by many film historians as one of the greatest of silent era filmmakers--especially for masterworks The Big Parade, The Crowd, and Show People--Vidor is nonetheless one of the most underrated of Hollywood's "old masters" in terms of his overall career. His sound era films include Hallelujah, Street Scene, The Champ, The Stranger's Return, Our Daily Bread, Stella Dallas, The Citadel, Northwest Passage, Duel in the Sun, Beyond the Forest, The Fountainhead, Ruby Gentry and War and Peace. He also helped to establish the Screen Directors Guild and served as its first president. This book charts the ways in which Vidor's vast, complex body of work ranges over diverse genres and styles while also expressing his recurring personal interests in spirituality (especially Christian Science), aesthetics, metaphysics, social realism, and the myth of America. The first book since 1988 to give a comprehensive view of Vidor's career, it discusses his artistic evolution in a way that appeals to the general reader as well as to the film scholar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Civil War biography sheds new light on the life of the legendary Confederate general before, during, and after the conflict that defined his legacy. Shelby Foote called Nathan Bedford Forrest one of the most authentic geniuses produced by the American Civil War, and Ulysses S. Grant said that Forrest was the only Confederate cavalry leader he feared. Sherman wanted him killed even if doing so broke the broke the Federal treasury and cost ten thousand lives. Arguably the best cavalry leader of the Civil War and undoubtedly one of the greatest in the history of mounted warfare, Nathan Bedford Forrest has been acclaimed and vilified, revered and hated, and still he is a man whose life defies categorization. This in-depth biography goes beyond Forrest’s war exploits. Here, historians Eddy W. Davison and Daniel Foxx depict a man as complex, brilliant, revolutionary, and tragic as the times in which he lived. In addition to revealing details about his childhood, marriage, and life as a businessman and civic leader, this comprehensive biography explains the alleged massacre at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, and the reasons for Forrest’s leadership in the Ku Klux Klan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantasy roleplayers often get deep into their games, but thirteen-year-old Keith Croft is about to take it to a new level. He’s been invisible for seven years, smart but not working hard, athletic enough, but too lazy to excel. His parents are sorta cool, but only two weeks into his eighth-grade year, his friends are all busy with sports or projects and can’t hang out. On the way home one day, he stops at a neighbor’s yard sale and discovers a book for Crypts & Creepers that the lonely old woman says belonged to her granddaughter who disappeared without a trace. Days after he convinces his friends to try this bizarre game that doesn’t require electronics, strange noises in his closet wake him. His increasing inability to focus on anything other than a girl who vanished before he was born―and his obsession with her NPC ranger―drives him to dig deeper into the past, searching for what really happened to her. By the time Keith realizes the Gamemaster’s Codex holds something darker than rules within its pages, the curse that claimed the soul of a girl in 1987 has its claws in his group as well. Keith vows his friends will escape―even if he can’t.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a New York Times–bestselling author, three novels of a modern-day medievalist beset by murder and magic—“A fabulously talented writer” (Charlaine Harris). As a student of medieval history, Gil Patterson is a woman familiar with dark stories. She knows the Crusades, the Black Death, and the other horrors of the Middle Ages all too well, but it is another kind of atrocity that has begun to haunt her dreams. She sees forces of evil assaulting a beleaguered kingdom, whose kind people are on the brink of annihilation, and awakes each morning in a cold sweat. In The Time of the Dark, Gil dismisses the dreams until a wizard appears in her apartment. He has crossed into her dimension, passing through the fraying fabric of the universe, to ask her help. For mankind to survive he must protect an infant prince, whom he plans to hide in Gil's world. She is about to get much closer to evil than she ever imagined. In The Walls of Air and The Armies of Daylight, Gil and Rudy know the world is no longer safe and there is nowhere to hide from the Dark. Since the Dark Ones returned, the world has been laid to waste. The land’s wizards have been slaughtered, its cities destroyed, and its people scattered in terror. Few have witnessed more of the destruction than Gil and Rudy, and both of them will need all their strength to survive this final challenge. Ingold, the master wizard, has devised a spell to hide the user from the deathly stare of the Dark, and he intends to use it to strike at their very heart. Finally, Gil, Rudy, and the rest of mankind’s survivors will take the offensive, bringing an end to this terrible war, for better or for worse.

Book excerpt: Combining biography with regional and national history, Dan T. Carter chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of George Wallace, a populist who abandoned his ideals to become a national symbol of racism, and later begged for forgiveness. In The Politics of Rage, Carter argues persuasively that the four-time Alabama governor and four-time presidential candidate helped to establish the conservative political movement that put Ronald Reagan in the White House in 1980 and gave Newt Gingrich and the Republicans control of Congress in 1994. In this second edition, Carter updates Wallace’s story with a look at the politician’s death and the nation’s reaction to it and gives a summary of his own sense of the legacy of “the most important loser in twentieth-century American politics.”
