Sunshine


Book Description

A small-town baker uses her magic to confront a post–vampire apocalypse world in this award-winning fantasy Neil Gaiman called “pretty much perfect.” Although it had been mostly deserted since the Voodoo Wars, there hadn’t been any trouble out at the lake for years. Rae Seddon, nicknamed Sunshine, head baker at her family’s busy and popular café in downtown New Arcadia, needed a place to get away from all the noise and confusion—of the clientele and her family. Just for a few hours. Just to be able to hear herself think. She knew about the Others, of course. Everyone did. And several of her family’s best regular customers were from SOF—Special Other Forces—which had been created to deal with the threat and the danger of the Others. She drove out to her family’s old lakeside cabin and sat on the porch, swinging her feet and enjoying the silence and the silver moonlight on the water. She never heard them coming. Of course, you don’t when they’re vampires. Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Sookie Stackhouse will cheer for this tough and quirky heroine. In Sunshine, which won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature, McKinley has a vampire novel that is “a smart, funny tale of suspense and romance” (San Francisco Chronicle).

Sweet Tea with My Hero


Book Description

An Old Man, a Young Man, and Their Southern Redemption Meet John McFerren, a local legend and civil rights activist in Fayette County, Tennessee, who overheard a shocking plot before Martin Luther King Jr.’s killing that’ll shock you: • McFerren, an elderly Black man, owner of a grocery store and gas pumps, befriends John Bragorgos, a white outsider with a soft heart. • Challenging Fayette County prejudiced white establishment, two colorblind men form a bond in the rural town of Somerville with deep-rooted, dark secrets. • McFerren is a savvy veteran of politics in Fayette County and coaches Bragorgos on how to survive in a tangled web of corruption, injustice, poverty, racism, and segregation. • Bragorgos helps the feisty local legend discover that his honest testimony of the King killing was downplayed and manipulated—inspiring two extraordinary men to unite and fight for justice. • The seasoned old-timer teaches Bragorgos how to play the game in the jungle of redneck hell—with roots from the Civil War. • A multilayered story with flashbacks of McFerren’s bittersweet and chilling past during the forties, fifties and sixties into the 21st century. Written from the perspective of someone who discovered a real southern gent with empathy and true grit in a bigoted county, John Bragorgos tells a story inspired by true events linked to the Civil Rights Movement. This fascinating book which praises Sweet Tea “the table wine of the South” (including recollections of America’s favorite country songs) shows the power of discrimination and humanity. A witty and warmhearted read for anyone who is suspicious about Dr. King’s killer acting alone —like the late Mr. McFerren, an unsung hero.
