Examining the icon's foundations in James Fenimore Cooper's Natty Bumppo--'an ideal white man, free of the boundaries of civilization'--and the degraded rural poor of Erskine Caldwell's Tobacco Road, Matthew Ferrence shows how Redneck stereotypes were further extended in Deliverance, both the novel and the film, and in a popular cycle of movies starring Burt Reynolds in the 1970s and '80s, among other manifestations. As a contemporary cultural figure, the author argues, the Redneck represents no one in particular but offers a model of behavior and ideals for many. Most important, it has become a tool--reductive, confining, and (sometimes, almost) liberating--by which elite forces gather and maintain social and economic power. Those defying its boundaries, as the Dixie Chicks did when they criticized President Bush and the Iraq invasion, have done so at their own peril.

A quirk of fate has enabled the donation of a history-altering amount of cash to the ministry of a popular religious leader in a solidly Conservative state. Having interpreted the donation as a sign from above, the pastor has divined its purpose: to enable his state’s formal secession from the Union and to have their U.S. Senator appointed President of the newly created country. The public announcement of this outrageous move is met with wild approval by the citizens of the former state and abject horror by the rest of the world, including a dedicated reporter who makes it her mission to bring down the revolution. As it struggles to form a new nation, the rogue republic encounters a series of existential challenges, both within its government and among its increasingly beleaguered citizenry. With its very survival at stake, it is forced to take increasingly bold risks to keep its grip on power, including an audacious gambit that pits the tiny nation against the mighty United States itself. The jaw-dropping, chilling, and sometimes outright hilarious results will keep readers, both for and against the concept of secession, reading late into the night.

Tenacious trucker Jojo Boudreaux and her co-driver beau Tyler Boone spend their days- and nights- delivering cargo coast to coast. Old Blue, their custom Peterbilt tractor-trailer makes the perfect home for a man who never had one and a Louisiana tomboy who thinks an oven is for storing guns. But life on the road isn’t all sing-a-longs and sunsets. When Jojo and Boone are called in to deliver an abandoned load of high-profile pharmaceuticals to a secure warehouse, they delay their vacation for the quick, easy job with the big paycheck, forgetting that nothing quick and easy ever comes with a big paycheck. Grand Theft Cargo is a wild ride from start to finish with a secretive highwayman, explosive house bombs, singing telegrams, flaming mice, secret cancer drugs, dead truckers, an agency that can’t be named, and enough crashes and car chases to remind you these road cowboys have no qualms crossing the zipper to walk the dog in the hammer lane.

A dead father. A grieving daughter. Was it an accident, or was it murder? Journalist-turned-sleuth Isabel Long finds herself facing some new challenges after solving her first case in her small Massachusetts town. Her relationship with the owner of the Rooster Bar has ended, and the police are insisting she must work for a licensed private investigator before going solo. With encouragement from her sidekick—her ninety-two-year-old mother—Isabel finds work and a case. Chet Waters burned to death when his house caught fire and he was too drunk to escape. At least, that’s the official ruling. His daughter, who inherited his junkyard, believes he was murdered. After doing some digging, Isabel creates a list of potential suspects, all with a grudge against Waters. Was his death an act of revenge? Isabel is about to find out . . . “A savvy and appealing protagonist.” —Frederick Reiken, author of The Lost Legends of New Jersey Praise for Chasing the Case “A well crafted story with the perfect amount of tension, suspense and delicious intrigue.” —Joy Norstrom, author of Out of Play “Will keep you guessing right to the end.” —Susan Roebuck, author of Rising Tide
