"In Porcupine County, nestled in the peaceful landscape of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, lies a small town where the people all know one another and gossip cannot be silenced for long. But there's one secret that someone has tried to keep quiet for years... and those who try to uncover it seem to wind up dead." "Deputy Steve Martinez - Lakota Sioux by birth, white Easterner by upbringing - lost his heart to the region after running away from a secret of his own. After finding the love of his life, Steve was able to take comfort in the land that once had been so good to his ancestors. The peace and quiet is broken when a mob hit man's corpse washes up on the shore of Lake Superior. Then, during a routine police operation, one of Steve's colleagues literally falls over the long-buried body of one of Porcupine County's missing persons... a man who had been last seen alive almost a century ago. The two deaths are seemingly unrelated... at first." "Steve's investigations lead him through shoot-outs and hair-raising flights in a small plane. He is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the peace in the land he loves, but he may find that even in the quietest of towns, some things are better left buried."--BOOK JACKET.

Schwag picks up where Young and Immortal left off, with the introspective poet Eugene and his mischievous muse Horace and their friend Miriam living up their early Twenties on the cusp of the Millenium on the East Side of Milwaukee. Schwag explores the questions of loyalty, addiction, the American Way, casual sex and obsessive love, honesty, meaningless hedonism and significant bullshit. Schwag is not in Oprah's book club. Schwag is the book you borrowed from the bad kid on the playground. Schwag is cheap workingman's dope.

Are we free agents? This perennial question is addressed by tragedy when it dramatizes the struggle of individuals with supernatural forces, or maps the inner conflict of a mind divided against itself. The first part of this book follows the adaptations of four myths as they migrate from classical Greek tragedy to Seneca and on to seventeenth-century France: the stories of Agamemnon, Oedipus, Medea, and Phaedra. Detailed linguistic analysis charts the playwrights’ contrasting assumptions about agency and autonomy. In the second part, six plays by Corneille and Racine are discussed to show how the problem of agency and free will is explored in scenarios which show protagonists who are in thrall to their past, to their rulers, or to their own ideals.

The story traces the lives of Buck and Jed, two orphans, one born and raised white, the other white and black and raised red. It is the story of how each molded their gifts of nature and nurture, to determine much of their character, their personality, their view of others, and of life. Their lives demonstrate how ancestors recent and remote, the religions of their youth, life experiences, and the mentors each encountered, helped to shape them. Buck's past allowed him the flexibility to change, the ability to import the best of his life experiences to mollify some of his genetic inheritance while reinforcing, even amplifying, the stronger traits. Jed, on the other hand, remained locked in unyielding adherence to past experience and unalterable inherited patterns of thought. Though set in the 1890's, involves Indians, and the white pioneers of the old west, the issues of greed, extortion, fraud and deception, mayhem, murder, courage and compassion have a universal and timeless flavor. The story follows the ascent of one, and the eventual life of hardship and isolation from friends, family, and all he once presumed was his, for the other.
