Fans of Terry Pratchett and Shane Kuhn’s THE INTERN’S HANDBOOK will love this noir supernatural thriller. hr Death needs a vacation. Badly. But there’s a catch: There are people who cheat the system, always falling through the cracks and not dying like they’re supposed to. Who’s going to take care of them while Death’s sipping on sangria? The answer is simple: Death needs an intern, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that one prospect, Buck Palasinksia—a bankrupt hitman with a roleplaying addiction—might have what it takes. While scoping out his next target, Buck gets drilled in the forehead by a bullet and falls right into Death’s lap. If they shove him back into his body, he’ll have a few weeks to prove that he has what it takes to be Death’s right-hand. All he has to do is take out Public Enemy No. 1, John Dillinger, and quit smoking.

"Maidin Iron" is the true story of the first woman to work as a union ironworker in New Mexico in the 1970s and 1980s. Ana Padilla tells of her struggle and ultimate success in breaking into this male-dominated trade, confronting union bosses, supervisors, and coworkers. Many thought that a woman couldn't handle the tough and dangerous job of being an ironworker, welding and bolting steel frames of multistory buildings. One false step could lead to sudden death. This scrappy young woman used humor, courage, good manners, and a strong work ethic to make her case that she could do everything just as well as her male coworkers. Although small of stature, she proved herself over and over again, on one job site after another, hauling equipment and working many stories in the air on steel girders, expecting no special treatment while facing harsh weather and dangers. Padilla conveys her Hispanic roots in New Mexico and the sense of a place and time when people held onto views of women that now seem outdated and sexist. She does this without bitterness. The reader meets other men and women-Hispanic, Anglo, Native American, and African American, many from New Mexico, some from elsewhere-who rolled up their sleeves, faced the challenges at each work site, and got the job done. We get a vivid feel for their personalities and of what it was like to work with them. We learn about the ironworkers' trade and also of how Padilla reinvented herself after a first marriage that was less than happy, found the man of her dreams, married him, and built a life with him that has lasted to this day. This is an inspiring tale that conveys the value of time-tested virtues of hard work, courage, and persistence in the face of adversity.
