Reginald Santana thought he had paid his debt to society when he was released from prison and found work shaping surfboards in San Luis Obispo California. Someone disagreed and left Reginald's body lying on his living room floor. He had been brutally murdered in a most creative way. The only apparent clue was a uniquely coded handwritten poem signed: "The Trash Collector." The case goes unsolved and nothing more is heard from The Trash Collector until years later when Joshua Ward escapes prosecution on an open-and-shut child abduction and murder case in Orange County, California. Within days after Ward's release his mangled body is found near the state beach in San Clemente, California. A coded poem turns up at a local newspaper and leaves no doubt The Trash Collector is back. More bodies of sadistically murdered bad people--people who deserved to die-- start turning up. With each body comes another poem and each is addressed to Trevor Wilkins, the investigating officer. What secret is Trevor Wilkins hiding about his investigation into The Trash Collector murders? Is he really a top notch sheriff's investigator, or is he something else? Could he be The Trash Collector?Read The Trash Collector's entertaining first person account of the murders through the eyes of a psychopathic killer who really enjoys the work. The Trash Collector will leave you questioning who's side you are on: the psychopath who is killing people who need killing, or the Sheriff's Investigators who's duty it is to put a stop to it.

This is a short, 10,400 word, biography of the USA in the years of Chester A. Arthur of Vermont. It is not the story of Chester Arthur, although he is a major part of it. Arthur inherited the presidency upon the death of Garfield in September, 1881, and, by all accounts, did a surprisingly good job Read about problems with Chile, Geronimo's War, the trial of assassin Guiteau, and the rise of the modern American Navy with the construction of the first three steel cruisers. 'Elegant Arthur' was a cultured man who changed outfits three times a day, just because he was into clothes. This book is written with clarity, passion and a little humor here and there. You will like this little book.
The Several Lives of Chester Himes

A fascinating blend of hatred and tenderness, of hard-boiled realism and generous idealism colors the writings of Chester Himes. How did this gifted son of the respectable southern black family become a juvenile delinquent? How did he acquire self-esteem and a new sense of identity by writing short stories while in the Ohio state penitentiary? Chester Himes (1909-1984) had literary genius. Yet in his native country, he is recalled more as the author of successful detective novels (Cotton Comes to Harlem) than as a practitioner of the art of fiction. The genesis of his books is his own autobiography. In If He Hollers, Let Him Go and in the fratricidal shootout of his black detectives Grave Digger and Coffin Ed in Plan B he was an unsparing witness to our changing times. His painful experiences in American indelibly marked his fiction, which is filled with reflections on his difficult relationships, especially with women--his fair-complexioned mother, his African-American first wife Jean, his many white lovers, and finally his English wife Leslie. His career was beset by controversy, and he left America to live on the Left Bank in the colony of expatriates and as a colleague of Richard Wright. Eventually, he settled in Spain. Drawn from his letters, notebooks, memoirs, and his fiction, this straightforward account of Hime's varied, episodic life attempts to trace the origins of his significant literary gift. It details the socioeconomic, familial, and cultural background which fed his ambivalent views on race in America. Hime's Deep South childhood, his adolescence in the Midwest, his young manhood in prison (1928-1936), his years as a menial laborer, his struggles as an author in California and New York City, and finally his glory days as an expatriate and celebrity in France and Spain are plumbed deeply for their effects upon his works. This is the bittersweet story of a man who found salvation in writing. Edward Margolies is Professor Emeritus, English, and American Studies, College of Staten Island, City University of New York. Michel Fabre is Professor Emeritus, American Studies, Universite de la Sorbonne.
