What's more fun than being stuck in rush hour traffic on the 10? How about another adventure with Joan Freed, the rebel life coach who only wants to start fulfilling her bucket list - beginning with seeing the Aurora Borealis up close and personal in Alaska. Alaska because she's feeling a distinct pull, magnetic if you will, to 'do' Alaska as a tourist. But first she has a coaching client near Mormon Lake who needs her attention. A client named Geraldine who's not only a character in her own right, but has a plethora of surprises that turns Joan's life upside down and forces her to unearth and face deeply buried facts about herself. Jenny, Joan's wishing she was invisible partner in crime, so to speak, decides to stay the course a little longer along with Patches, the black and white spotted chihuahua, in tow and heads out to the far north with Joan. After three days of actual R & R that the two have finally managed to get after 3000 miles, or so, Jenny voices that she's bored (that's a clue). Joan opens the unlocked door (that's a clue, too) to her RV to find a redheaded girl in her bed. A redheaded girl who may or may not be a murderer; who may or may not have amnesia; and may or may not have been kidnapped. But she's definitely from the south and knows how to cook. Is she any good at conniving? Maybe. Join Joan and Jenny on their journey of a once in a lifetime vacation jaunt from Arizona to the Arctic Circle and back. Find out how good Joan is at being a tourist and what's really going on in the redhead's head that Tamhas, Spock's doppelg nger thinks he knows. This is a novel of personal growth, mystery, adventure, and, of course, lots of mayhem. See what happens when you leave your door unlocked, and, above all, be careful what you ask for... If you like Murder She Wrote, Hettie Wainwright, and Rosemary & Thyme, you'll love this and other Joan Freed Murder/Adventures. Happy Trails and Tales. Thank You, Alexie Linn

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THIS SET WILL BE DONATED TO THE NATIONAL WORLD WAR II MUSEUM IN NEW ORLEANS Note: Some stories contain scenes of adult situations and some violence; therefore the collection is recommended for readers 18+, and may not appeal to everyone. From the shores of Hawaii to the skies over Europe to the warriors supporting the effort back home, the greatest generation fought-and loved-like no other. Every day, every breath, every love, could be the last. Join four authors as they take you on a journey through the embattled, bitter, but ultimately hopeful love stories representing some of the bravest men and women the world has known. The Christmas Soldier by Lexi Ostrow Natalie knew that serving as a combat nurse would break her hearts in unimaginable ways. Serving in Northern Ireland shortly after America entered the war, all she can dream of is getting the injured home safely for Christmas. Pierce always assumed he wouldn't make it home from war - he just hadn't imagined enemy fire would have landed him in a medic camp. It took him moments to fall for his beautiful nurse and suddenly he wanted to return home, not the battle on the Atlantic. The holidays stop for no man and all the pair want is to see Pierce safe at Christmas. A String of Pearls by Linnea Alexis When Gloria Bernard fails to get Sam, her brother's best friend, to notice her, she strikes up a relationship with a handsome college student she meets at a dance club. Sam Knight may be Gloria's long-time friend, but he's also an undercover FBI agent. When Sam discovers that Gloria's suitor is a Nazi spy, he confronts her with the truth. At first, she refuses to believe Sam until being shown irrefutable proof. He asks for her help in bringing a case against the man she's dating. With assurances she won't be in any danger, she reluctantly agrees. Will Sam's plan backfire and put Gloria in harm's way? Can Gloria be effective, or will emotions derail building a case against her latest boyfriend? Can Sam and Gloria band together for a common cause-keeping America safe during WWII-while finally giving in to their mutual attraction? Until You Break My Heart by Heather Young-Nichols Hattie Maguire joins the Army after graduating from nursing school. Being shipped overseas was a given. To help save lives is why she joins. With a world war waging on so many fronts, nurses are in desperate need. Men are being killed or wounded every day and if Hattie can save even one, she knows it'll be worth it. Hattie meets Leo Scott just after Christmas 1944. Then they're brought together again on New Year's Eve. Possibly the best New Year's Eve either have ever had and in the middle of a war. They shouldn't be together. Hattie's been warned that fraternization is frowned upon, yet whenever Leo appears, she can't help herself, nor does she want to. A devastating attack tears the couple apart. If they can find a way back to each other, they can try to forget the war together. If not, their love will be another thing that haunts their nightmares. Moonlight & Shadows by Amelia Matthews Years have passed since young lawyer Susannah King last saw her first love, Devlin Morrow, but on a business trip to secure a contract for her father, the pair rekindle their passionate romance. But Dev is a changed man. War has scarred him, physically and emotionally. Susannah has scars as well, from a childhood devoid of affection and filled with expectations she's not sure she'll ever meet. Can the lovers step into the light and find ever-lasting love, or will they remain in the shadows, never to find happiness?

Noticed initially as a Native American author, Sherman Alexie has since achieved a reputation as a significant figure in the American literary landscape. The essays in this volume have been chosen to address the interests and needs of a broad range of readers, from students seeking further insights to teachers who hope to deepen their understanding to scholars who wish to join a conversation among their peers. In his citation of War Dances as the winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award, poet Al Young said that the book ""taps every vein and nerve, every tissue, every issue that quickens the current blood-pulse,"" lauding Alexie for ""the caring, eye-opening beauty of this rollicking, bittersweet gem of a book."" The intention and purpose of this volume is to provide critical insights worthy of that achievement. Alexie's work is the imaginative expression of his eventful life. This volume, therefore, includes an insightful biographical sketch of Alexie which provides a guide to many of the most noteworthy incidents and circumstances of his life. The combination of controversy, compelling writing, and a dynamic personality has projected Alexie into a unique position in contemporary American culture, and his work has reached a much wider range of readers than would have been anticipated by readers of his first poems. The course of critical scrutiny that followed the publication of Alexie's books is ably assessed in an essay that reaches back to Alexie's early life to lead into the beginning of his appearance in print. It continues as he becomes a part of a visible literary landscape and then a prominent point in its topography. A continuing controversy, highlighted by Alexie's refusal to be restricted to any projection of American Indian reality other than his own, is given expression by an essay that asks, ""What right does Alexie have to share with general readers our most painful realities of poverty and social dysfunction?"" The exploration of this question is an illustration of one of the most provocative and persistent issues that Alexie's work has emphasised. Other essays explore impact of atrocities on his writing, the identity of the American Indian in modern writing and the author's broadening perspective on the human condition. Alexie's poetry receives specific attention in a number of essays. His poetry, the genre acknowledged by the author as the ""original fire"" that ignited his creative flame, is central to understanding his other work. For instance, Alexie ""modifies the English sonnet"" to negotiate ""between his cultural inheritances,"" one essayist stresses the ways Alexie restructures the sonnet to ""upset the reader's expectation of resolution and thus promote the idea that the Indian dilemma is never a matter that can be easily or hastily solved."" His contemporary critical reception is explored. The role of music in his prose is examined. Storytelling and oral traditions are investigated in his work and his work in films is discussed.

Drawing comparisons with such established Native American writers as N. Scott Momaday and James Welch as well as with Generation X peers, Grassian presents Alexie’s work as equally informed by Native American culture and generic, mainstream influences.

Conversations with Sherman Alexie

Conversations with Sherman Alexie

Sherman Alexie (b. 1966) gained national attention upon release of The Business of Fancydancing, his first collection of poems, in 1992, when a critic for the New York Times Book Review called him ""one of the major lyric voices of our time."" More recently, in 2007, Alexie won a National Book Award for The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, a young-adult novel based on his own high school experiences. In Conversations with Sherman Alexie, the writer displays the same passion, dynamic sense of humor, and sharp observational skills that characterize his work. The interviews ranging from 1993 to 2007 feature Alexie speaking candidly about the ideas and themes behind poetry collections (I Would Steal Horses, First Indian on the Moon), short story collections (The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Ten Little Indians), novels (Indian Killer, Reservation Blues), and screenplays (Smoke Signals). Coeur d'Alene through his father and Spokane through his mother, Alexie grew up in Wellpinit on the Spokane Indian Reservation in eastern Washington. Reservation life is a central concern in his work, as are politics, love, contemporary literature, city living (he now lives in Seattle), and his beloved sport of basketball. Alexie's wit, polemical engagement, and willingness to confront received notions have made him one of the most popular American Indian writers today.
