The Popping Cork Murder: A St. James City, Florida Mystery

The Popping Cork Murder: A St. James City, Florida Mystery

From the same wake made in the warm waters of Southwest Florida by acclaimed mystery writers John D. MacDonald, and Randy Wayne White, Florida's creative coast has spawned another author. In "The Popping Cork Murder," (ISBN 1484847989), seventh-generation Floridian Mitch Grant confronts the familiar Florida fiction format and spins it in new directions to deliver a story uniquely written from the perspective of retirees living in the quaint fishing village of Saint James City.The story centers on a retired couple on the west coast of Florida, whose quiet lives are turned upside down when their dear friend is murdered while visiting. Determined to find the killer, the couple takes matters into their own hands and embarks on an epic investigation that carries them along the coast and through the annals of local history.As the story unfolds, the senior citizens-turned-sleuths try to figure out whether their friend was murdered to protect the location of buried pirate treasure, to safeguard a founding family's stash of gold or to cover up a century-old war crime. Against this backdrop of murder, mystery and mayhem, Grant also delivers three terrific love stories: - the love of fishing and boating in Florida, the love for life in a small Florida town and the love between a retired couple. "My new book combines classic Florida mystery fiction with my passion for Florida life in a way that's sure to appeal to visitors to Southwest Florida, fishermean, boaters, retirees and mystery fans of all ages," Grant says.

Dreams of Presence

Dreams of Presence

Mitch Rose

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO PRESS

Throughout the twentieth century, the question of culture was a central pillar of social scientific thought. Today, however, the concept has disappeared from the academic landscape. Despite pressing political debates about culture wars, identity politics, cultural appropriation, and nativism, the concept of culture is no longer seen as a credible explanatory tool.Dreams of Presence provides a novel theoretical approach to the question of culture and will be of use to geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, and social theorists grappling to understand why culture continues to be a dominant political force in our contemporary world. Drawing on Heidegger, Levinas, Derrida, and Žižek, Mitch Rose provides an existential, rather than sociological, account of culture, conceptualizing it as a refuge where subjects endeavour to establish ownership over a life that perpetually eludes them. The book argues that culture is a claim; not something subjects ever have but something they desire; not something properly present but a dream of presence: an imagination of identity we cultivate, care for, and materially build in order to assure ourselves that we are sovereign, self-standing beings.

Brother, Forgive Them

The thirty two year old burden of carrying an empty heart was finally lifted when Joey returned to Beal Gardens, on the campus of Michigan State University. Late one Saturday night, Joey sat in the center of the gardens admiring the protective canopy of oak and beech trees, which had grown from the puny saplings he helped plant. As he closed his eyes in the peaceful darkness, re-living the best years of his life and imagining what could have been if the only girl he had ever and could ever love hadn't abruptly ended their lives together; he was startled by a shadow in the intermittent moonlight. Joey prepared to defend himself from the intruder when he was shocked speechless as a beautiful woman with an athletic build, long reddish brown hair and a crooked smile revealed herself and began drawing his eyes deeper into hers. Mary Ann didn't understand what had lured her back to Beal Gardens until she saw Joey sitting on the concrete bench that they had shared so many years before. Neither one spoke a word. They gently took each other's hand, left where they had originally found love and disappeared into old memories. After the amazing reunion, a depressed Joey sulked on the tarmac, waiting for his flight back to loneliness when he was removed by security guards and escorted to an anxious Mary Ann who had raced to the airport to tell him that she couldn't make the same mistake twice. Late one December evening, in the middle of the worst blizzard in history, they were blessed with the impossible birth of a beautiful baby girl who grew to be one of the greatest gifts from God that the world had ever known. When the power had failed and the house dropped to sub-zero temperatures, Mary Ann decided that was the opportune time to go into labor. Fearing the worst, a panicked Joey sought shelter inside the warmth of his barn's hay room and moved his wife there on the back of his trusted donkey, Milton. Born two months premature to a carpenter/ home builder father and a school teacher mother, Jessica took her first breaths surrounded by a bevy of farm animals and two, shocked, admiring parents. While caring for his new family, a trio of stranded frat boys miraculously found their way through the cold and snow to the safety of Joey's barn where they joined in the celebration of baby Jessica's birth. Raised in a centuries-old "Little White Church", people knew that there was something special about Jessica when she confronted the influx of "new" Christians and a fanatical Reverend who sought to replace it. In search of direction, Jessica embarked on a forty day trip around the country, ending up in a deteriorating and mostly abandoned section of New York City where she was welcomed by Big Mike, the leader of a violent motorcycle gang. Knowing that was where she was supposed to be, she formed a group of loyal women followers who sought to bring hope to the surrounding community. Feeling threated by the change Jessica was causing, Big Mike ordered her death. Betrayed by one of the ladies in her group, Jessica faced her fate unafraid and returned to show the world the path to everlasting life. In Heaven, a visibly annoyed God summoned all who had worked to bring salvation to the world for a second time, to his court room where he presided over a short trial to decide if the world was worth saving, or not. After an intense deliberation, God delivered his verdict and passed sentence, changing the world forever.
