Frank has been plagued by nightmares throughout his life. He is 21 years old, going to college and just trying to have fun with his friends. It's always been a little different for him because his parents died in a plane crash when he was just a baby. If that was not enough, he has been able to predict various different tidbits of the future since his 13th Birthday. Frank's nightmarish visions about the future begin to get worse as the planetary alignment of the solar system approaches. Unfortunately his life is about to swirl completely out of control. Only one woman can keep him safe in the future, but he has to save her life first. Mandy Murdock is a patrol officer of the Webster Police Department. She is very ethical and very new to the department. She will soon learn that others in her department don't share her sentiment about upholding the law. Rex is one of Frank's closest friends and has pissed off the Mistress, the oldest living witch in the United States. She pre-dates back to when the USA was just the 13 colonies. Of course nobody knows who she is or that she exists at all until her precious house cat Foofy gets ran over by one drunken 20 year old named . . . Rex. The Mistress orders her powerful werewolf, Mr. Wolf to exact retribution on Rex and all his friends. What's even worse is that local drug manufactures wind up blaming one of Rex's friends for a ton of missing marijuana. They decide to employ a professional assassin from the city of New York. Stevie is just an average cute ten year old boy that gets picked on by neighborhood bullies. He is unaware that he possesses the perfect genetic composition that could enable the survival of one of the most powerful demons. Xmanithon strikes a bargain with the child in a desperate attempt to survive the physical perils of the new world that he has stumbled across. Stevie might become more powerful than he could ever imagine, but the power could come with the ultimate price.

Drive down almost any street in Webster Groves and one is filled with a sense of timelessness. Entire neighborhoods are in the National Register of Historic Places, and there are lovingly preserved century homes, beautiful old churches, avenues lined with gardens, and shopping districts more reminiscent of small-town America than a thriving suburb next door to the city of St. Louis. History runs deep here, as it is home to the first chapter of the Red Cross and the first Boy Scout Troop west of the Mississippi, the oldest women's organization in Missouri, the first professional fire department, and the first public library in St. Louis County. North Webster once held the only accredited high school for African American students in St. Louis County. Beginning as a site of country homes for St. Louis professionals, growing through a post-World War II boom that expanded into new neighborhoods, Webster Groves has remained true to its heritage and history.

A “splendid” (The Wall Street Journal) account of one of history’s most important and yet little-known wars, the campaign culminating in the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, whose outcome determined the future of the Roman Empire. Following Caesar’s assassination and Mark Antony’s defeat of the conspirators who killed Caesar, two powerful men remained in Rome—Antony and Caesar’s chosen heir, young Octavian, the future Augustus. When Antony fell in love with the most powerful woman in the world, Egypt’s ruler Cleopatra, and thwarted Octavian’s ambition to rule the empire, another civil war broke out. In 31 BC one of the largest naval battles in the ancient world took place—more than 600 ships, almost 200,000 men, and one woman—the Battle of Actium. Octavian prevailed over Antony and Cleopatra, who subsequently killed themselves. The Battle of Actium had great consequences for the empire. Had Antony and Cleopatra won, the empire’s capital might have moved from Rome to Alexandria, Cleopatra’s capital, and Latin might have become the empire’s second language after Greek, which was spoken throughout the eastern Mediterranean, including Egypt. In this “superbly recounted” (The National Review) history, Barry Strauss, ancient history authority, describes this consequential battle with the drama and expertise that it deserves. The War That Made the Roman Empire is essential history that features three of the greatest figures of the ancient world.

In 1899, when many New Hampshire residents were moving to cities and other parts of the nation, Frank Rollins, soon to become governor of New Hampshire, delivered a proposal to hold an annual event he dubbed Old Home Week. Similar in form to many of the family and town picnics already a tradition throughout New Hampshire, Old Home Week was designed as an open invitation to all the former residents of the Granite State to return to the homes of their youth. In addition to the ballgames, picnics, parades, and bonfires that were held during the third week of August, the celebrations resulted in municipal improvements across the state. Old homesteads were refurbished as summer homes, and libraries and monuments sprung up throughout the region as residents returned, creating a movement toward a renewed pride in the community.
