DOWNLOAD EBOOKA powerful fictionalized account of Zora Neale Hurston’s childhood adventures explores the idea of collective memory and the lingering effects of slavery. “History ain’t in a book, especially when it comes to folks like us. History is in the lives we lived and the stories we tell each other about those lives.” When Zora Neale Hurston and her best friend, Carrie Brown, discover that the town mute can speak after all, they think they’ve uncovered a big secret. But Mr. Polk’s silence is just one piece of a larger puzzle that stretches back half a century to the tragic story of an enslaved girl named Lucia. As Zora’s curiosity leads a reluctant Carrie deeper into the mystery, the story unfolds through alternating narratives. Lucia’s struggle for freedom resonates through the years, threatening the future of America’s first incorporated black township — the hometown of author Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960). In a riveting coming-of-age tale, award-winning author T. R. Simon champions the strength of a people to stand up for justice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the Cursed Land, there is nothing more dangerous than the memory of happiness… Harper O’Neill figured that, after surviving the attacks of a murderous goddess Badb Catha (and saving her mother in the process), her journey was over. But fate, it seems, has other plans: Sauvie Island, a Portland tourist trap that used to be famous only for its high prices, is now… changing. Mists cloak the island, and Fae enchantment is transforming what used to be a kitschy vacation spot into a labyrinth where Badb Catha's Fae lurk, waiting to feed on the bodies and minds of the unwary, and on the very souls of the dead – including the spirit of Harper’s own father. Harper has to act. To face the soul-devouring Sluagh, to release her father’s spirit, to save her best friend, and to protect the world from the clutches of Badb Catha. Again. Only this time, it’s different. This time, the Fae have discovered Harper’s weakness: a need to take back the future Badb Catha stole. Now, trapped in a magic dreamworld of the life she should have had, Harper has to decide whether she wants to live in a perfect fantasy, or fight to save her father and her best friend from fates worse than death. She’s been hunted by Fae before. But now Harper faces a far worse threat: finding a way to escape The Cursed Land. The second book in The Last Battle of Moytura series, The Cursed Lands is a must-read for fans of Hounded, The Iron King, and A Court of Honey and Ash.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK2022 WHA W. Turrentine Jackson Award for best first book on the history of the American West 2022 WHA David J. Weber Prize for the best book on Southwestern History In eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Texas--a hotly contested land where states wielded little to no real power--local alliances and controversies, face-to-face relationships, and kin ties structured personal dynamics and cross-communal concerns alike. Country of the Cursed and the Driven brings readers into this world through a sweeping analysis of Hispanic, Comanche, and Anglo-American slaving regimes, illuminating how slaving violence, in its capacity to bolster and shatter families and entire communities, became both the foundation and the scourge, the panacea and the curse, of life in the borderlands. As scholars have begun to assert more forcefully over the past two decades, slavery was much more diverse and widespread in North America than previously recognized, engulfing the lives of Native, European, and African descended people across the continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to Mexico. Paul Barba details the rise of Texas's slaving regimes, spotlighting the ubiquitous, if uneven and evolving, influences of colonialism and anti-Blackness. By weaving together and reframing traditionally disparate historical narratives, Country of the Cursed and the Driven challenges the common assumption that slavery was insignificant to the history of Texas prior to Anglo American colonization, arguing instead that the slavery imported by Stephen F. Austin and his colonial followers in the 1820s found a comfortable home in the slavery-stained borderlands, where for decades Spanish colonists and their Comanche neighbors had already unleashed waves of slaving devastation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhomsoever draws the sword from the ancient seat of this land shall rule her, and they shall bring peace and prosperity to her people. For nearly a thousand years, the firstborn son of every Cannamore king has drawn the sword, and the land and her people have indeed prospered. Princess Nyx Bel-Hannon is neither male nor firstborn, but it’s her hand that draws the sword rather than her twin brother’s. Her reward: imprisonment. But a deep darkness now spreads across the kingdom, and her borders are threatened by creatures capable of magic powerful enough to destroy mountains and split the land asunder. Without the true heir to wield the sword, Cannamore risks annihilation. The king and crown prince want nothing more than to be permanently rid of Nyx, but cannot afford her blood on their hands. Instead, they give her to a fractious warlord in the hope he will do what they dare not. Nyx has no intention of letting the warlord get in the way of her thirst for revenge or the need to claim her throne. But it’s a quest that may well destroy the kingdom she loves, because Nyx has been cursed by the god of war. It is her destiny to save Cannamore. Or utterly destroy it. What everyone is saying about Keri Arthur’s novels: Arthur’s stories are full of adventure, action, and satisfying human interplay. The humor is dry and based in her characters’ often-painful experiences where defeat can resolve itself into personal victory. Her characters are people who work toward their goals in a hostile environment and win most of the time. They are all scarred and scared a lot of the time, but they continue down the paths they have chosen, protecting those they love along the way. Inspirational, is it not? Sharon Tucker, KRL News & Reviews, for Cursed Writing books that stay with you, fascinate and make you want more seem to be Ms. Arthur's forte, as BURN is just that kind of read. If you want a dystopic world, a sexy hero, kick-butt heroine, drakkons, mages, magic and a nice touch of romance then BURN will have to be the next book you get your hands on. Annetta Sweetko, Fresh Fiction, for Burn CITY OF LIGHT is bursting with action, suspense and the supernatural. If you’re looking for a kickass heroine with a big heart to match, look no further than Tiger. I suspect big things for her character.
