Raised as a boy and home-schooled by her single mother, Jessie Jacks is unlike other boys and girls. Jessie is an intersex child born both male and female, although her countenance and appearance are strikingly female. After the death of her mother, she is placed in the care of her aunt, Annie Sheldon, where she is faced with a whole new set of circumstances that she must adapt to - peer pressure, social prejudice, first love, issues of sexual identity, as well as the biological, physiological, and psychological changes she experiences as puberty raises its ugly head, or in this case, beautiful head.

When she relocates to Knoxville to study theater at the University of Tennessee, Mikie discovers a new home and a new life in an old Victorian house shared by four other tenants, kindred spirits, each unique in their own special way with their own dreams and aspirations, trials and tribulations. Life is good again until a brutal hate crime challenges the very fabric of Mikie and her roommate's existence. In the shadow of this recent tragedy, they desperately fight for their lives and their happiness as they struggle to survive the aftermath of the vicious hate crime and realize their goals and dreams and aspirations.
A Comedy of Horrors is a collection of stories and poetry with an unusual flair. Some are horror stories, some are stories of the supernatural and the macabre, and some of the stories are just plain weird. There are fairy tales and science fiction, fantasy and fiction, and there are even a couple that deal with real life issues written from a different perspective. The poetry is mostly surreal and dark.

W.M.L. de Wette (1780-1849) was not only one of the founders of modern Old Testament criticism. His loss and recovery of Christian faith, his dismissal from his post in Berlin in 1819 on political grounds and his long subsequent exile in Basel left their mark upon his work in New Testament ethics, dogmatics and aesthetics. This first modern critical study of de Wette's life and work evaluates his achievements in the context of his own times and asesses their importance on modern biblical scholars.
