He grows up fast, embracing the "finer" things in life with troublemaker Rich by his side.Soon, Bobby finds himself having a bit too much fun. Things quickly spiral out of control, and a day of birthday ditching threatens to turn downright deviant.

Black Nancy is a fast paced "histo-venture" (historical/fiction/adventure), set in coastal Georgia and Carolina during the blight of America in its infant stages. All of the antagonistic zeal is provided as Bishop the younger hunts Black Nancy and Ruby, leaving death and destruction in his wake. All the while, Black Nancy trains her daughter and sows the seeds of revolution. This adventure introduces you to characters like Abbey Copper, a good hearted, recluse, living for revenge, Bishop the younger, desperate to get Black Nancy and Ruby back, Daisy, the young, and brave, little girl that risks her life, and Bo Daddy, the knifeman and a host of other characters that will make you laugh out loud, bring you to tears, and will ignite the soul of the warrior within you.In pre-revolutionary Georgia a secret society of wealthy plantation owners, hold vicious gladiator-style pit battles, occasionally to the death, simultaneously fulfilling their wildest and seediest fantasies. The undisputed champion of the "pit" is the beautiful, but deadly former princess of the Ashanti Empire, BLACK NANCY. Yet to meet her equal in battle, male or female, Nancy dreams of returning to Ashantiland, but keeps her plans secret to protect her young daughter, Ruby, who is also a prisoner on the Bishop Plantation. WHO IS BLACK NANCY? A PRINCESS. A WARRIOR. A LOVER. A MOTHER. A PRISONER. A CHAMPION. A TEACHER. A FUGITIVE. A FOLK HEROINE. A REVOLUTIONARY.Black Nancy, his first novel, adapted from his original screenplay of the same title, was written to be shared with today's youth to teach them about African-American history in a way in which they can be proud."My purpose for writing in this genre (historical-fiction/adventure) histoventure, is to teach African-American youth about their history which began before their ancestors where brought here in chains. It's important for my readers to understand the point of view in which I write is not from a victim mentality but rather the progeny of royalty. Not everyone accepted slavery. May this book stir the inner warrior inside you. OWN YOUR JOURNEY(TM) OX

Over the past three decades, Jean-Luc Nancy has become one of the most celebrated contemporary philosophers. His remarkably diverse body of work, which deals with such topics as post-Heideggerian ontology, Christian painting, the experience of drunkenness, heart transplants, contemporary cinema and the problem of freedom, is entirely "immersed" in modernity, as he puts it. Within this plural framework, art – which he explicitly defines as a modern construct – plays a singular role in that it is the very prism through which he explores the problems of sense and feeling in general, particularly as they relate to “our” experience of modernity. The contributors to Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism fully delve into the heretofore under-acknowledged and under-explored modernism of Nancy’s writings on philosophy and the arts through close readings of his key works as well as broader essays on the relationship between his thought and aesthetic modernity. In addition to an interview with Nancy himself, a final section consists of an extended glossary of Nancy’s signature terms, which will be a valuable resource for students and experts alike.

Nancy finds herself a Christmas mystery in this super special book of the Nancy Drew Diaries, a fresh approach to the classic mystery series. Nancy is spending her winter vacation at the most beautiful ski resort in Montana. Everything looks perfect, from the spectacular mountain views to the cozy rooms complete with fireplaces and holiday decorations. Unfortunately, not all is as jolly as it seems. Things started to go wrong on her very first day; she hit a bad patch of ice on a run down the slopes and broke her leg in a couple of different places. Then a doctor decided she needed a giant cast and lots of bed rest. It's been a week of unfortunate events for rest the resort too; there was a sabotaged opening dinner, multiple hotel room break-ins, and a dangerous trap was set for the star chef. And if Nancy thought things couldn't get any worse, a giant storm is heading their way and may just snow everyone in for days. Trapped in a hotel with someone bent on destruction? Cast or no cast, this sleuth is on the case. As Christmas approaches, both guests and staff are starting to panic. With all the odds stacked against her, can Nancy solve these crimes in time and save the holiday season? Or is this one Yuletide she'll wish to forget?
