Two Between-the-Numbers novels from #1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich--twice the Plum PLUM Spooky Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum usually finds a way to get her man. But this time, she's set to join forces with Diesel--whose special skills include tracking men and pleasing women--to get the job done. Together, they will hunt down the notorious Martin Munch through the Pine Barrens and come face to face with the legendary Jersey Devil, prowling above the treetops in the dark of night, and find a way to survive cranberry bogs, sand in their underwear, too many monkeys to count. . .and, of course, each other. VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS'Tis the season, sure, but nothing's looking merry for Fugitive Apprehension Agent Stephanie Plum. She hasn't gotten a tree, nor any presents. There's not a twinkle light anywhere to be seen in her apartment. . .and there's a stranger in her kitchen. Which isn't so unusual--Stephanie is always greeting felons, creeps, and lunatics at her door. But this guy is mysterious, and HOT. His name is Diesel. What is he doing here? Can he help Stephanie find a little old toy maker who has skipped out on his bail right before the holidays? What about a bunch of nasty elves? Get out your plastic reindeer, strap on your jingle bells, and get ready to celebrate the holidays--Jersey style. "Tart and hilarious...will leave fans hungry for the next juicy Plum-a-Thon."--Publishers Weekly

But as her missions become more brutal, and the stakes grow ever higher, she begins to question everything she knows about flight NEO027.

Around the world, my face has many names. Long ago, when I was a complete person, I was somebody called Stephanie Patrick. But almost nobody remembers her now. Sometimes, not even me. Stephanie Patrick has left behind the dark world of spies, lies, and aliases, to live a normal civilian life in London. But then a shocking discovery envelops her, forcing her back into her former life. Scientific and weapons secrets and personnel are being sent via the people-smuggling routes from China, through Albania and the former Yugoslavia to Europe and Britain. Stephanie's personal feelings for one of the victims of this trade causes her to make a rare professional mistake, and the consequences are far-reaching, vicious and challenging, even for her skills and expertise.

Petra was an identity handed to Stephanie. A shell to inhabit. And in those days there had been a boss. A man who had regulated every aspect of her life. But as time passed, flesh and fabric had merged and Stephanie had become Petra. Or was it the other way around? Icily professional, Stephanie has been living life as her alias--the professional terrorist Petra--to the fullest. Having completed an intelligence contract in St. Petersburg she returns home, but civilian life eludes her when she is lured to France by the call of a friend in need. In Paris, a bomb blast triggers a chain of events which contaminates every aspect of Stephanie's life. It's clear that she's been betrayed. But by whom? Before she can run from the threat, she must identify it. Stephanie saves herself by taking a hostage, but soon the tension between captive and captor accelerates dangerously beyond her control. As powers shift critically, Stephanie struggles to maintain Petra's professional cool, and to hold herself together. Ultimately, she's the only one who can save them--but will it be at the price of the hostage's life?

Stephanie introduces her new series' of watercolor paintings, entitled "Unraveling", "Threads", "Essence", and "Continuum". There are nearly twenty total images under these banners.

Born in Guadeloupe in 1897, Stephanie St. Clair entered the United States thirteen years later. By 1923 at the age of twenty-six she would create and manage a highly lucrative policy bank in Harlem – earning a quarter of a million dollars a year. To this day, she remains the only black female gangster to run an operation of that size. Infamous gangster Dutch Schultz invited himself to share in the Harlem profits. Unlike other Harlem bankers, St. Clair resisted. Despite Schultz’s threats, many of her male employees remained with her. Some said she paid them high wages and challenged them by asking, «What kind of men would desert a lady in a fight?» Upon arrival in the United States St. Clair did not conduct her life in the manner expected of a black female Caribbean immigrant in the early twentieth century. What factors influenced St. Clair’s decision to become an entrepreneur and activist within her community? Why did St. Clair describe herself as a «lady» when ladies did not run illegal businesses and they were not black? These questions are explored along with her lineage – a lineage that contains the same fighting spirit that she carried throughout her life. This is not the story of a victim. Courses concerned with the study of social and economic conditions of black urban residents during the early twentieth century and female entrepreneurs of the same era will find St. Clair’s story compelling and informative.

The rare woman director working in second-wave exploitation, Stephanie Rothman (b. 1936) directed seven successful feature films, served as the vice president of an independent film company, and was the first woman to win the Directors Guild of America’s student filmmaking prize. Despite these career accomplishments, Rothman retired into relative obscurity. In The Cinema of Stephanie Rothman: Radical Acts in Filmmaking, author Alicia Kozma uses Rothman’s career as an in-depth case study, intertwining historical, archival, industrial, and filmic analysis to grapple with the past, present, and future of women’s filmmaking labor in Hollywood. Understanding second wave exploitation filmmaking as a transitory space for the industrial development of contemporary Hollywood that also opened up opportunities for women practitioners, Kozma argues that understudied film production cycles provide untapped spaces for discovering women’s directorial work. The professional career and filmography of Rothman exemplify this claim. Rothman also serves as an apt example for connecting the structure of film histories to the persistent strictures of rhetorical language used to mark women filmmakers and their labor. Kozma traces these imbrications across historical archives. Adopting a diverse methodological approach, The Cinema of Stephanie Rothman shines a needed spotlight on the problems and successes of the memorialization of women’s directorial labor, connecting historical and contemporary patterns of gendered labor disparity in the film industry. This book is simultaneously the first in-depth scholarly consideration of Rothman, the debut of the most substantive archival materials collected on Rothman, and a feminist political intervention into the construction of film histories.
