How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Sky Griffin's mother is missing. Vanished in what seems like a second. Could she have just wandered off? Or is her disappearance more than meets the eye? Sky is convinced that whatever happened was not an accident, and in fact may hold more secrets than anyone expects. Thus begins her frantic search for answers, for the truth behind her mother's whereabouts. But the chase to find her turns out to be complex in ways Sky could never have imagined, even in her former days in the police force. Extreme measures are taken to find her mother, as Sky goes undercover, disguising her identity in order to find out what might have happened. In the process, she's forced to leave behind the love of her life and her young son, a feat difficult enough in itself. Sky's torrid investigation becomes a mess of emotions, as she struggles to cope with her distance from her family and the fact that she may never see her mother again. Her expedition is complicated further by her encounter with a beautiful woman named Meg. Will Sky leave her old life behind and remain here with Meg, forever searching for her mother? Or will she solve the mystery and return to her loved ones? Author Tammy Snow takes us on a thrilling journey full of twist and turns, passion and deceit, and everything in between through the stunning conclusion. Tammy Snow has been an avid reader since winning her first "bookworm" contest in the first grade. "Grey Sky" is her first novel. Although Tammy never imagined herself as a writer, she has a passion for words and found that writing provides a wonderful outlet for an often vivid imagination.

In 1996, she moved from Provo to Edmonds, Washington, a suburb of Seattle, where she worked at a software company until 2008, leaving to start her own user experience organization. Tammy lives with her partner Dayna, her son Tre', and their two cats, Theo and Jaz.

The concept of African American home ground knits together diverse aspects of the American landscape, from elite suburbs and tower apartments to the old homeplaces of the countryside, to the tabletop array of family photos beside the bed of a housebound elder. This fascinating volume focuses on ways African Americans have invested actual and symbolic landscapes with signifigance, gained the means to acquire property, and brought new insight to the interpretation of contemporary, historical, and archaelogical sites. Keep Your Head to the Sky demonstrates how visions of home, past and present, have helped to shape African Americans' sense of place, often under extremely hostile conditions.

Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett was one of the most profoundly original writers of the 20th century. He gave expression to the anguish and isolation of the individual consciousness with a purity and minimalism that have altered the shape of world literature. A tremendously influential poet and dramatist, Beckett spoke of his prose fiction as the "important writing," the medium in which he distilled his ideas most powerfully. Here, for the first time, his short prose is gathered in a definitive, complete volume by leading Beckett scholar S. E. Gontarski.

Napoleon was an artilleryman before he was an emperor. He understood the power and effectiveness of cannon and their ability to pulverise defences, reduce fortresses and destroy attacks. In return, the guns won Napoleon battles. This impressive study chronicles the story of the guns and men during the twenty-three years of almost continuous warfare from 1792_1815: from the battlefields of continental Europe to the almost primitive terrain of North America and of the seas, lakes and rivers that connected them. Detailed technical information is accompanied by vivid descriptions which allow the reader to imagine what it must have been liked to manoeuvre and man the guns in a variety of situations _ whether on the march or on the battlefield. Based on years of research into regulations of the period, eyewitness accounts of artillerymen and material culled from official reports, the scope and depth of material will satisfy the serious researcher, while the lively narrative will appeal to the casual reader.
