Gone Over is the story of the American Revolution seen through the reverse lens of British Intelligence--a view never quite seen before. Israel Potter is the best known private soldier of the Revolution, and his story takes the reader through the maelstrom of the war. From a beginning in captivity, Potter¿s life touches every major figure of this secret war, starting with the underground Friends of America in England and continuing through Benjamin Franklin¿s mission in Paris until it finally returns to the home front and the defection of Benedict Arnold.

South Sanford has one point of entry and one point of exit... Professional model and aspiring fashion designer Monaysia Giles has never had a reason to care about the system of good and evil that sustains the city behind the bridge. Now, the place where corruption is currency has trapped her into learning how power is maintained. After the passing of the storm that loomed over her "unexpected" pregnancy, Monaysia settles into family life with Banger, a sexy thug from the wrong side of the tracks who only wants to worship her for having his baby. Their hood romance can't end with a happily ever after just yet, though. When fulfilling his promises to her gives her the chance to begin a career in Paris, a new slew of problems begins that threaten to tear the young family apart. Postpartum depression, dark secrets, and Banger's desire to save a city that doesn't deserve his dedication tempt Monaysia to look for affection elsewhere. Monaysia has never been one to back down from a game of tit for tat. She's never had such a worthy opponent either. Will this toxic couple's battle put them in a position to lose everything, including each other?

In an exploration of the afterlife that is part personal, part prescriptive, Smith invites us on her journey into the unknown. She wonders: How do we grieve our loved ones without proof that they live on? Will we ever see them again? Can they see us now? Chronicling our steps along the path that bridges this world and the next, Smith undergoes past-life regressions and sessions with mediums and psychics and immerses herself in the ceremonies of organised religion and the rigour of scientific experiments to try and find the answers.

Lisa Blower celebrates her characters with stories that they wouldn't want told. She makes the bleak funny, in a voice reminiscent of Alan Bennett, and strikes a new chord in regional and working-class fiction. With a sharp eye and tough warmth, Lisa Blower brings to life the silent histories and harsh realities of those living on the margins. The matriarch dominates these award-winning stories in Lisa Blower's debut collection. From the wise, witty and outspoken Nan of 'Broken Crockery', who has lived and worked in Stoke-on-Trent for all of her 92 years, never owning a passport, to happy hooker Ruthie in 'The Land of Make Believe' or young mum Roxanne in 'The Cherry Tree', she appears in many shapes and forms, and always with a stoicism that is hard to break down. The title is a Potteries saying that means it's looking a bit bleak, a little like rain.

Though Willie Mays' World Series catch of Vic Wertz's long drive in 1954 immediately comes to mind, there are many catches that have been called "the greatest." This work documents baseball's best catches by outfielders from 1887 through 1964 (the year of Duke Snider's retirement, the demolition of the Polo Grounds, and, arguably, Willie Mays' last great grab). After introductory chapters on factors that influenced the catches and their legacies--from ballpark quirks, changes to the baseball and the evolution of baseball gloves, to sportswriters and photography--the book describes famous catches by decade from such players as Mays, Willie Keeler, Joe DiMaggio, Duke Snider, Roberto Clement, Curt Flood and many others. Extensive research yields a wealth of information for each catch, including commentary by period sportswriters, players, and, often, the man who snagged the ball.
