Book excerpt: “[A] superb new historical novel . . . about the heady late 1920s, when the public went crazy every day over barnstorming pilots and their heroic stunts.”—Publishers Daily Reviews People are doing all sorts of screwy things in 1929. It is a time of hope, boundless optimism, and prosperity. “Blue Skies” is the song on everyone’s lips. The tabloids are full of flagpole sitters, flappers, and marathon dancers. Ever since Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic solo, the entire world has gone nuts over flying. But everyone agrees that the stunt pilots take the cake. Jenny Flynn defies the odds and conventions in her pursuit of the sky. She attracts the attention of Laura Bailey, a brash reporter crashing through her own glass ceiling at a New York City newspaper. Laura chases the pilot’s story—and the truth about her own mysterious father—on a barnstorming escapade from Manhattan to the Midwest. Flying Jenny offers a vivid portrait of an earlier time when airplanes drew swarming crowds entranced by the pioneers—male and female—of flight. Finalist for the Oklahoma Book Awards, Fiction “[A] romp through the early days of women’s aviation history . . . Debutante pilot Jenny Flynn and cub reporter Laura Bailey carry the spunk of Thelma & Louise to new heights as they fight for space in the cockpit and the city room.”—Janet Groth, author of The Receptionist: An Education at The New Yorker “Tuohy uses both Jenny and Laura to explore gender roles in the late 1920s and how two young women push their own boundaries as well as the society around them.”—Historical Novels Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Southern Appalachian English is a revised and expanded edition of the Weatherford Award–winning Dictionary of Smoky Mountain English, published in 2005 and known in Appalachian studies circles as the most comprehensive reference work dedicated to Appalachian vernacular and linguistic practice. Editors Michael B. Montgomery and Jennifer K. N. Heinmiller document the variety of English used in parts of eight states, ranging from West Virginia to Georgia—an expansion of the first edition's geography, which was limited primarily to North Carolina and Tennessee—and include over 10,000 entries drawn from over 2,200 sources. The entries include approximately 35,000 citations to provide the reader with historical context, meaning, and usage. Around 1,600 of those examples are from letters written by Civil War soldiers and their family members, and another 4,000 are taken from regional oral history recordings. Decades in the making, the Dictionary of Southern Appalachian English surpasses the original by thousands of entries. There is no work of this magnitude available that so completely illustrates the rich language of the Smoky Mountains and Southern Appalachia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It appears to be a fact, history repeats itself. The good and the bad seem to recycle generation after generation. However, two factors seem to make the process more dangerous and deadly: The population growth and the prophecy of God. As the inhabitation of the world expands and the influences of satanic powers prevail, conditions and consequences develop that literally invade the minds of people with terror and tears the fabric of society apart. In his book, “Stop the World and Let Me Off,” Reverend Graham deals with concepts that demoralizes and diminishes the foundation of life’s ethnics, economics and environment. Reverend Graham explores the causes, the consequences and the change that affects our world and causes man to want to jump ship and escape the dilemma. Yet, within the pages of this book, you will find the challenge for change and the celebration of hope that is available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jenny George’s debut showcases an astonishing poetic talent, a new voice that is intensely focused, patient, and empathic. The Dream of Reason explores the paradoxical relationships between humans and the animals we imagine, keep, fear, and consume. Titled after Goya’s grotesque bestiary, George’s own dreamscape is populated by purring moths, bats that crawl like goblins, and livestock—especially pigs, whose spirit and slaughter inform a central series of portraits. The poems invite moments of stark realism into a spacious, lucid realm just outside of time—finding revelation in stillness, intimacy in violence, and vision in language that lifts from the dark. From “Threshold Gods”: I saw a bat in a dream and then later that week I saw a real bat, crawling on its elbows across the porch like a goblin. It was early evening. I want to ask about death. But first I want to ask about flying. Jenny George lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she runs a foundation for Buddhist-based social justice. She holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part oral history and part rule book, The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games is a joyous collection of memories of playing indoor and outdoor games; of making dolls, homemade board games, playhouses, and other toys--each with complete instructions and the flavor of southern Appalachia. Every toy and game has been tested by the Foxfire students and is devised to make or play yourself, without major expense, complicated parts, or electricity. Originally published in 1985, the book includes familiar games like marbles, hopscotch, and horseshoes, as well as more obscure entertainments such as stealing the pines, crows and cranes, and thimble. Here, too, are instructions for constructing playhouses, noisemakers, puzzles, and whimmy diddles. The book also provides information on special games traditionally played on Sundays and holidays. For those who are tired of worn-out batteries and electronic toys and for anyone curious about the playtimes of an earlier generation, The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games is a welcome and entertaining guide.

Book excerpt: Clarissa Louise Whitehead fell victim to the overwhelming desire that so many others like her before suffered from, which is to be a star--a rare feat indeed. But she had looks and she had brains, and nothing was going to stop her. She would have to leave behind the safety and security of friends and family to achieve this goal and travel to a faraway land called Hollywood. However, fame and fortune would come with a price. In her quest for stardom, a menacing danger would manifest itself, stalking her, watching her just out of reach. She could feel the danger like a specter peering out from a dark place. However, this menace would learn just how tough she was. Clarissa's star burned brightly if only for a short time. She touched and changed many lives in her search for the Hollywood of the past, and the reward for the reader will be learning about her journey.
