A fun cowboy firefighter romance that is all about love and second chances. After being away for over six years, fire fighter Tripp Landers has returned to the rural suburbs of Dallas to find his high school sweetheart, Laney Bradshaw, up to her eyeballs in a hay fire that destroys her feed store. Laney broke Tripp’s heart their last year in high school when she dumped him the night of their senior prom, and they haven’t seen each other in over six years. So, why is it that he’s never been able to get her out of his head? Laney’s affluent girlfriends had been determined to break up the match because they considered Tripp to be from the wrong side of the tracks. So, they had conspired to create a situation where Laney would catch Tripp kissing another girl—and Laney had played right into their hands. She had told Tripp to get lost that night, but it didn’t take long for her to figure out what had really happened. Unfortunately, it would only have hurt Tripp to know they considered him low-class, and Laney would rather die than ever cause him that kind of pain. She chose, instead, to let him believe she was shallow and unfeeling than to ever tell him the truth about what had happened that night—even though it meant letting him go. Now Tripp Landers is back in town, but there’s a lot of water under that bridge, and Laney Bradshaw is buried under a mountain of life-gone-wrong. Will old grudges destroy their lives and keep them apart forever? Can Tripp and Laney find a second chance at love? Or are they destined to screw things up yet one more time?

Poetry. BARNBURNER by Erin Hoover is the winner of the 2017 Elixir Press Antivenom Poetry Award. Kathryn Nuernberger, contest judge, had this to say about it: "The epigraph to BARNBURNER is a call to burn it all down: 'According to an old story, there was once a Dutchman who was so bothered by the rats in his barn that he burned down the barn to get rid of them. Thus a barn burner became one who destroyed all in order to get rid of a nuisance.' There is honesty in this epigraph, raw and brutal, like the narrative voices in Erin Hoover's poems. But there's an irony at play here, an irony perhaps borrowing a bit from the ironies of Frost's 'Mending Wall': these poems don't burn down the cruelties of a homogeneous, racist patriarchy. Instead, they make a muse of it. A muse that can be objectified, stripped bare, and put on a pedestal for all to scorn. Hoover fridges that muse so that one speaker of a heroine after another is vaulted by the shock of such violence into a journey of personal discovery. There are mean-spirited, ruthless characters in these poems and, in a kind of reverse Bechdel test, Hoover wipes away their inner lives and never lets them talk to each other about anything except those they have hurt."

How did the Democratic Party--party of JFK, LBJ, and civil rights--fall from glory? How did Texas become Bush territory? What do politicians on either side need to do today to get our country back on track? Ben Barnes has the answers. Barnes had a front-row seat through it all. He won a seat in the Texas Legislature in 1960, at the age of 22, and four years later became the youngest Speaker of the House since the Civil War. In 1968, he helped Congressman George H. W. Bush get his son into the National Guard. How did his party lose its place in Texas, and the nation? Here, Barnes takes readers inside the rise and fall of the party he loves. He uses lessons learned in the Texas trenches as a guiding light for a new generation of lawmakers and political hopefuls, and calls for a return to bipartisan consensus building.--From publisher description.

In the tales that make up The Elephant Vanishes, the imaginative genius that has made Haruki Murakami an international superstar is on full display. In these stories, a man sees his favorite elephant vanish into thin air; a newlywed couple suffers attacks of hunger that drive them to hold up a McDonald’s in the middle of the night; and a young woman discovers that she has become irresistible to a little green monster who burrows up through her backyard. By turns haunting and hilarious, in The Elephant Vanishes Murakami crosses the border between separate realities—and comes back bearing remarkable treasures. Includes the story "Barn Burning," which is the basis for the major motion picture Burning.
