Book Description

Mike Gallagher had taken his motorcycle on America's best rides, and survived many close calls.One day on Colorado's Cottonwood Pass, the law of averages caught up with him.Mike's favorite ride is Cottonwood Pass, near his home outside Buena Vista, Colorado. He's ridden it hundreds of times. On a beautiful June day in 2015, a simple gear-shifting problem caused Mike to launch off a curve into a steep ravine, trapped under a tree and his motorcycle.His left leg was severed under the knee. His left arm and right leg were pinned under him. Grasping his motorcycle key in his right hand, he tried to saw through the tree on top of him, to no avail. Gasoline from his motorcycle dripped on him , cauterizing his wounds - but the gas also pooled under him, burning his back.He lay in agony for hours, until a bicyclist, suspicious of the skid mark on the road, looked into the ravine and spotted him. A perfect combination of local search-and-rescue personnel, medical professionals, and divine intervention saved Mike.Against the odds, Mike emerged from rehab six months later, walking and ready to live independently. He set out on a quest to find and thank the people who saved him. What he discovered changed him, and maybe it'll change you, too.

Book Description

He tasted like tequila and the fake name I gave him was Rose. Four years ago, I decided to get over one man, by getting under another. A single night and nothing more. I found my handsome stranger with a shot glass and charming but devilish smile at the end of the bar. The desire that hit his eyes the second they landed on me ignited a spark inside me, instant and hot. He was perfect and everything I didn’t know I needed. That one night may have ended, but I left with much more than a memory. Four years later, and with a three-year-old in tow, the man I still dream about is staring at me from across the street in the town I grew up in. I don’t miss the flash of recognition, or the heat in his gaze. The chemistry is still there, even after all these years. I just hope the secrets and regrets don’t destroy our second chance before it’s even begun.

Youngest Chamber of Commerce president in St. Cyprian history, successful indie bookstore owner, and lucky enough to have her best friends as found family? Done. But when Emerson is attacked by creatures that shouldn’t be real, and kills them with what can only be called magic, Emerson finds that the past decade of her life has been…a lie. St. Cyprian isn't your average Midwestern river town—it’s a haven for witches. When Emerson failed a power test years ago, she was stripped of her magical memories. Turns out, Emerson’s friends are all witches. And so is she. That's not all, though: evil is lurking in the charming streets of St. Cyprian. Emerson will need to learn to control what’s inside of her, remember her magic, and deal with old, complicated feelings for her childhood friend--cranky-yet-gorgeous local farmer Jacob North—to defeat an enemy that hides in the rivers and shadows of everything she loves. Even before she had magic, Emerson would have done anything for St. Cyprian, but now she’ll have to risk not just her livelihood…but her life.

Book Description

Our Conrad is about the American reception of Joseph Conrad and its crucial role in the formation of American modernism. Although Conrad did not visit the country until a year before his death, his fiction served as both foil and mirror to America's conception of itself and its place in the world. Peter Mallios reveals the historical and political factors that made Conrad's work valuable to a range of prominent figures—including Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Richard Wright, Woodrow Wilson, and Theodore and Edith Roosevelt—and explores regional differences in Conrad's reception. He proves that foreign-authored writing can be as integral a part of United States culture as that of any native. Arguing that an individual writer's apparent (national, gendered, racial, political) identity is not always a good predictor of the diversity of voices and dialogues to which he gives rise, this exercise in transnational comparativism participates in post-Americanist efforts to render American Studies less insular and parochial.
