Book excerpt: Despite badgering by government officials, despite unwarranted accusations of being squatters, the canyon pioneers left their mark on this grand stage. They chiseled trails out of stubborn rock, discovered rich copper deposits below the rim, erected lodges on the rim, and advocated rail connections to the brink of the Grand Canyon to promote its tourism and mining potential. Monte Bridgestone – rugged, quiet, and trapped in a loveless marriage; his mining skills are no help in consoling a lonely wife. He fights government, sabotage, and greed, and then champions the safeguarding of this wondrous place. Kirby O’Brien – a hopeless romantic, his slender frame disguises his strength and endurance. First a miner, then a rancher, he is destined to share a golden opportunity with the most beautiful woman in northern Arizona. Sabrina Jaffa – a young divorcee, proud, pretty and sassy. In search of a new life, she operates under a veil of secrecy, riding like a man but wanting nothing to do with men, that is, until she uncovers a long-kept canyon secret. In time, the miners put down their picks and shovels and turned to mining the pockets of tourists rather than the pockets of copper hidden in red-stained rock walls. What they began, big corporations finished. What they cherished as their own, the federal government confiscated and protected for future generations. Canyon Crossroads, a historical novel, Book One in Under the Canyon Sky: is the story of the Grand Canyon pioneers. It is loosely based on forty years of research by the author. There are stories of lost gold, mine explosions, stagecoach rollovers, rockslides, nefarious business dealings, political ambitions gone awry, and a mysterious woman prospector. "Canyon Crossroads brings to life the intrigue and romance of pioneers at the Grand Canyon amidst governmental pressures and a backdrop of natural wonders. Highly recommended!" —Dr. Gary Fogel, Author and Adjunct Professor at San Diego State University.

Book excerpt: To protect those most vulnerable, Haven Haviland must trust her heart--and her regrets--to a mysterious newcomer in this moving contemporary romance. Few in the community of Whisper Canyon have actually met Jace Daring, a handsome recluse who lives at Aspen Crossroads, the farm at the edge of town. But that doesn't stop the rumors about the multiple women who live with him. He must protect the truth--that his farm-to-table restaurant will provide new livelihoods for women rescued from human trafficking--or he risks the safety and futures of those relying on him. But he can't do it alone. Haven Haviland has always been everyone's safe place to fall until one mistake closes her counseling practice and leaves her open to the town's gossip. Trusting men has gotten her in trouble before. However, accepting Jace's job offer to mentor the rescued women seems like the perfect way to right her wrongs. When the mayor's campaign to clean up Whisper Canyon targets Aspen Crossroads, the restaurant comes under fire, dangers from the women's pasts are awakened, and Haven's sins are exposed for all to see. Jace would sacrifice himself to save Haven and the women under his care, but his efforts might not be enough. And in the end, it might not be the women most in need of saving after all.

Book excerpt: It is July of 1859, a month of sweltering dog days and feverish emotional bombast. Life is good for widower Rundell Ingram and his hazel-eyed, roan-haired son, Hamilton. Between the two of them, they take care of Moccasin Hollow, their rustic dogtrot ancestral home, a sprawling non-slave plantation in the rolling farming country outside Queensborough Towne in east Georgia. Adjoining Ingram lands is Wisteria Bend, the vast slave-holding plantation of Andrew and Corinthia Greer, their daughter Sarah and son Benjamin. Both families share generations of long-accepted traditions, and childhood playmates are no longer children. Against this rustic idyll of hard work and gracious living comes inflexible discord and divided loyalties that mutilate ties of blood and bond, tearing at their lives as smoke and battle no longer so faraway crashes and maims ever closer. Ahead of the on-coming ranks of Blue, foragers and bumlers burn, loot, scavenge and kill. Hamilton faces agonizing sacrifices with dreadful consequences. With little else than his wits, he tries anything to protect Sarah, their unborn child, his sickly father, and Sarah's family. Moccasin Trace, was nominated for the prestigious Michael Shaara Award for Excellence in Civil War Fiction, the Writers Notes Book Award, and was a finalist for the Readers' Favorite Award.

Book excerpt: Guarding the Treasure, this historical novel, is Book Three, of a trilogy in Under the Canyon Sky: centers on early Grand Canyon pioneers. By day, the Canyon, the main character in this story, flaunts wild colors and teasing shadows; by night, it sleeps under a canopy of shimmering stars. Sadly, the Federal government contemplates destruction of parts of Grand Canyon, that it worked so hard to protect, by damming the Colorado River and obliterating natural and cultural resources. Kirby and Sabrina O’Brien – as passionate defenders of the Canyon, they plunge into Colorado River dam controversies surrounding Bridge Canyon and Marble Canyon, while financing the design and construction of the Grand Canyon Pioneers Museum. Cody Livingston – Silver Star war hero, marries daughter of park engineer, becomes rancher, inherits entire cattle enterprise headquartered on the old stage road. He and wife Cora vow to continue Sabrina’s legacy to protect Grand Canyon. Russell Cramer – Park Engineer, agonizes over Village water supply issues, accepts Kirby’s ideas for a trans-canyon pipeline, opposes Reclamation’s proposed hydroelectric power dams, and organizes a search for radioactive rocks exposed in copper diggings. Witness a tragic suspension bridge collapse, river drownings, a train wreck, demolition of early historic hotels, a uranium scare, and the beginning of commercial river-running. Cross the troubled waters of the Colorado on a riveted steel replacement bridge leading to an Army camp, and a creek-fed swimming pool in the inner gorge. Wince at outlandish river dam proposals, high-strung cableways, intrusive canyon overflights, corporate greed, clashing government missions, and other incredible assaults on the Grand Canyon. “Guarding the Treasure fulfills the promise of protecting the glory of the Grand Canyon for future generations, through a masterfully woven tale of natural wonder and human history. A must read.” —Dr. Gary Fogel, Author and Adjunct Professor at San Diego State University.

Book excerpt: Heart of Gold, this historical novel is Book Two, in Under the Canyon Sky: about the early Grand Canyon pioneers. It is the story of gold discovery, copper mines, rockslides, outlaws, beer-drinking burros, a railway on the brink, conflicting federal regulations, and badgering by a flourishing commercial tourist industry that fiercely opposes independents. Monte Bridgestone – miner, trail-builder, guide, hotel manager, and homesteader on the South Rim. He becomes emotionally attached to the Grand Canyon and advocates its protection for future generations to behold, experience and cherish. Kirby and Sabrina O’Brien – their romance springs from below the rim and their life together evolves from prospecting to ranching. They work to preserve the legacy of the canyon pioneers by planning and financing a Canyon Pioneers Museum. Clint McCarty – Monte’s mining partner until a falling out over his rampant abuse of mining laws. He opposes making the Canyon a national park and wants it all for himself. His proliferation of mining claims hinders administrative control of the Canyon. Teddy Roosevelt – in his notorious address on the South Rim, he asks that the Canyon remain void of anything manmade. He establishes Grand Canyon National Monument, and twice returns for adventurous canyon mule trips. “Follow the twists and turns of mining, politics and romance in Heart of Gold, Dick Brown's well-written continuing saga of pioneer life at the Grand Canyon. A definite page turner!” —Dr. Gary Fogel, Author and Adjunct Professor at San Diego State University The Grand Canyon’s long journey from unexplored wilderness to a great American national park involves tangled bureaucracy, greedy schemes, fraudulent mining claims, and competition between favored commercial operators and private entrepreneurs. The government’s rough start in managing this natural wonder and the pioneers conducting their own tourism enterprises create bitter conflicts that last for decades.

Book excerpt: Unfathomably merciless and powerful, the atomic bomb has left its indelible mark on film. In Atomic Bomb Cinema, Jerome F. Shapiro unearths the unspoken legacy of the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima and its complex aftermath in American and Japanese cinema. According to Shapiro, a "Bomb film" is never simply an exercise in ideology or paranoia. He examines hundreds of films like Godzilla, Dr. Strangelove, and The Terminator as a body of work held together by ancient narrative and symbolic traditions that extol survival under devastating conditions. Drawing extensively on both English-language and Japanese-language sources, Shapiro argues that such films not only grapple with our nuclear anxieties, but also offer signs of hope that humanity is capable of repairing a damaged and divided world. www.atomicbombcinema.com
