Until a top of the range, Equi-Trek horsebox pulls into the yard and the Blossom Hill Riders her a familiar, grating voice ...'Hi, girls 'Jessica Oldham flicked her long blonde hair over her shoulder and smiled a sickly, smug smile. As always, it looked like she'd just stepped out of a beauty salon, with her golden locks hanging in losses curls down her back, and a touch of perfectly applied lip gloss and shimmery blusher.Never in a million years did the girls expect to see Jessica Oldham here at the yard. It was bad enough having to put up with here and the other Warrior Princesses at school, but to have her here too? This couldn't be happening 'Meet La Luna, Luna for short.

She desperately hopes her dad will believe her when she finally tells him that a local night school teacher is over two hundred years old, has taken over a local state government building and, with his coven, is turning her mother into a vampire.Before she can do that, however, Jess and her new friend Stinky (because he always smells like garlic) are entangled in midnight battles with the undead, pet blessings, tanning beds, blood drives and a life-and-death dance party.

Learn about Confederate hero John Singleton Mosby: The Gray Ghost No name in the annals of the Civil War conjures up a more romantic and awe-inspiring image than that of Confederate Colonel John Singleton Mosby of Virginia. The epitome of the Southern cavalier, Colonel Mosby was a charismatic officer whose small band of partisans outwitted and outfought the Union army on the fields and farmlands of northern Virginia. So great was the panic inspired by this one officer's military ingenuity, that he came to be known in the north as more of a myth than a man. Award-winning historical fiction and Southern romance author Jessica James penned a unique look at this iconic figure to share this real-life soldier's story with her fiction fans. John Mosby was the model for her fictional character Colonel Alexander Hunter in her novel SHADES OF GRAY TRILOGY. Rather than a dry biography of the Confederate hero, this book takes readers on a journey with a ragtag group of Rebels who threw aside the established rules of warfare, effectively using fear as their weapon of choice and surprise as their watchword. Read about this fascinating American Hero who played a role in shaping our nation.

Using painting, drawing, and abstraction as markers of a space outside verbal description, Jessica Dickinson examines the slow exchanges between perception, matter, and psychology that develop in peripheral spaces. Each of her works is developed slowly, meditatively, through procedures that work toward a compressed measure of time that echoes the shifts in what is seen, both inwardly and outwardly. Under | Press. | With-This | Hold- | Of-Also | Of/How | Of-More | Of:Know presents eight paintings and their “remainders”—graphite rubbings made of the paintings. Every time the surface of the paintings changes significantly, a graphite impression is made to transcribe the surface. These works in turn map the transitive passages of the paintings, becoming their indexes, unfolding time in a sequence while asserting the materiality of the paintings. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at James Fuentes Gallery, New York, the book's 46 color and 107 b&w reproductions are accompanied by an essay by curator Debra Singer and an interview with the artist by Patricia Treib.
