Sometimes Karma is a kick in the pants… Lukas Storm never stays with a woman long enough to finish zipping his pants. With the reality check of deployment on the horizon, he rethinks his Casanova ways. He wishes, just once, he’d loved a woman of substance who’ll cry if he doesn’t return. Murielle Russell has admired Luke since she was a genius pre-teen in his classes. Years later, a fateful night at her cousin’s wedding leads to more than soothing Luke before he leaves. Knocked up by the town player, Ellie hates that she’s reliving the sins of her mother. As Luke returns, he’ll do the right thing by Ellie and his baby, but his reputation is a hard one to shake, her trust even harder to earn. As they prepare for their child’s arrival, Luke must learn about fatherhood, but more importantly prove to Ellie he’ll remain true.
Warm, lyrical, cantabile melodies and rich harmonic structures are found in this expressive series.

Like many immigrants who leave their native lands, the author journeys from North Africa in search of his dreams and solace. Yet, he was not prepared to be a suspect of terrorist activities after the 9/11 events when ethnic profiling became both the norm and the rule. An engineering analyst and freelance writer/photographer, he combines a special blend of anger and humor to tell his encounter with an Illinois state trooper and a subsequent call from the FBI.The author depicts with finesse the traumatic interrogation that followed, but naively learned that, in such a situation, there were several types of questions: those he answered, others he refused to answer, and still others he pondered.Skin color kicks on Route 66 in the post 9/11 period are woven in this laconic story about ethnic profiling, cynical politics, and lucrative hypocrisy. This book could have been marketed under the title of "I am not a Terrorist, Mr. Bush."
People fear death. We don't know how to talk about it, especially to children, and we're afraid to bring it up for fear of making people sadder. Yet children, especially, have questions, and this incredibly gentle and surprisingly light story is full of both comfort and vividly imagined "answers." The first one gives the book its title: A boy hears the voice of his sister calling him one day, a sister he's never met because she died before he was born. The sister in the faded photograph on the wall. So that night he asks his mother what death is like and she tells him, "It's like dreaming, only bigger." That's lovely, but he still has questions, which it turns out his sister can answer! On a dreamy, carefree adventure they ride their bikes together, (not always on the ground), visiting places that were special to her when she was alive. And she talks to him in the older sister, teasing, straightforward, loving way that is exactly what he needs. (It turns out that death is not the only thing that can be Bigger Than a Dream.) Much, much more than bibliotherapy, this is a work of art that speaks with honesty and tenderness about one of life's great mysteries.

May God have mercy on my soul.
The Stooges Brass Band always had big dreams. From playing in the streets of New Orleans in the mid-1990s to playing stages the world over, they have held fast to their goal of raising brass band music and musicians to new heights—professionally and musically. In the intervening years, the band’s members have become family, courted controversy, and trained a new generation of musicians, becoming one of the city’s top brass bands along the way. Two decades after their founding, they have decided to tell their story. Can’t Be Faded: Twenty Years in the New Orleans Brass Band Game is a collaboration between musician and ethnomusicologist Kyle DeCoste and more than a dozen members of the Stooges Brass Band, past and present. It is the culmination of five years of interviews, research, and writing. Told with humor and candor, it’s as much a personal account of the Stooges’ careers as it is a story of the city’s musicians and, even more generally, a coming-of-age tale about black men in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century. DeCoste and the band members take readers into the barrooms, practice rooms, studios, tour vans, and streets where the music is made and brotherhoods are shaped and strengthened. Comprised of lively firsthand accounts and honest dialogue, Can’t Be Faded is a dynamic approach to collaborative research that offers a sensitive portrait of the humans behind the horns.
While the Klondike Gold Rush is one of the most widely known events in Canadian history, particularly outside Canada, the rest of the Yukon's long and diverse history attracts little attention. Important developments such as Herschel Island whaling, pre-1900 fur trading, the post-World War II resource boom, a lengthy struggle for responsible government, and the emergence of Aboriginal political protest remain poorly understood. Placing well-known historical episodes within the broader sweep of the past, Land of the Midnight Sun gives particular emphasis to the role of First Nations people and the lengthy struggle of Yukoners to find their place within Confederation. This broader story incorporates the introduction of mammoth dredges that scoured the Klondike creeks, the impressive Elsa-Keno Hill silver mines, the impact of residential schools on Aboriginal children, the devastation caused by the sinking of the Princess Sophia, the Yukon's remarkable contributions to the national World War I effort, and the sweeping transformations associated with the American occupation during World War II. Completely revised with a new epilogue, the bestselling Land of the Midnight Sun was first published in 1988 and became the standard source for understanding the history of the Yukon. Ken Coates and William Morrison have published ten books together, including Strange Things Done: A History of Murder in the Yukon and the forthcoming Trailmarkers: A History of Landmark Aboriginal Rights Cases in Canada. Land of the Midnight Sun was their first collaboration.
