No sheriff's going to believe I have a double-unless I find the outlaw myself. If I live that long." The Fosterville sheriff's bagged a few outlaws. The trouble is, Kid Parmlee, his buddy Zeb, and his Pa are dead ringers for bandits who took a stagecoach and made off with a fortune in gold. First step for the Kid and his partners is to make a fast getaway before they get hanged. On the run, and trapped between a trigger-happy lawman and a trio of hard-core desperadoes, the Kid finds himself outnumbered and outgunned. All he has now is raw nerve and blind rage to clear his name and escape the cruel plains alive. In Kid Parmlee, Spur Award-winning author Robert Conley has crafted a fearless flesh-and-blood adventurer who lives and breathes the West as it really was.

Hard Trails, Lean Dogs or Life of Ease: A Book of Northern Rhymes is a collection of snapshots—moments and thoughts from along the trail of author Darren Phillips’ life—accompanied by beautiful imagery from the Canadian North. It is a collection of free flowing poetry and rhymes: with stories that invite you to sit down at the table, have a drink or a “good” cup of coffee, say hello to the dogs and listen to a story or twelve. It is a reflection on Northern Living—old and new: mostly funny, often irreverent and thoughtful; but always entertaining! Phillips covers themes familiar to Canadians and all Northerners alike: life, death, love, working away, religion, drinking, animals, adventure, and so much more. Through short and entertaining rhymes, readers of all ages will find content that inspires them to laugh or reflect, and at times, both! Recognizing our mortality, Phillips challenges readers to live while they’re alive. Told in part through story—telling and prose/through poetry and rhyme—Hard Trails, Lean Dogs or Life of Ease inspires readers to laugh, wonder, create, and not take themselves or life too seriously. As above all, Hard Trails, Lean Dogs or Life of Ease was written for fun. It is a distraction from everyday life that you will think about throughout the day—as it is “Far From Normal”, unless, of course, you’re a local!

Including 75 color photos, this engaging book is part memoir, part natural history and lore, and part practical advice.

Presents an encyclopedia of American Indian literature in an alphabetical format listing authors and their works.
Native American fiction writers have confronted Euro-American narratives about Indians and the colonial world those narratives help create. These Native authors offer stories in which Indians remake this colonial world by resisting conquest and assimilation, sustaining their cultures and communities, and surviving. In Muting White Noise, James H. Cox considers how Native authors have liberated our imaginations from colonial narratives. Cox takes his title from Sherman Alexie, for whom the white noise of a television set represents the white mass-produced culture that mutes American Indian voices. Cox foregrounds the work of Native intellectuals in his readings of the American Indian novel tradition. He thereby develops a critical perspective from which to re-see the role played by the Euro-American novel tradition in justifying and enabling colonialism. By examining novels by Native authors—especially Thomas King, Gerald Vizenor, and Alexie—Cox shows how these writers challenge and revise colonizers’ tales about Indians. He then offers “red readings” of some revered Euro-American novels, including Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, and shows that until quite recently, even those non-Native storytellers who sympathized with Indians could imagine only their vanishing by story’s end. Muting White Noise breaks new ground in literary criticism. It stands with Native authors in their struggle to reclaim their own narrative space and tell stories that empower and nurture, rather than undermine and erase, American Indians and their communities.
