The white marquee outside said Adult Films Only. Cord McGreevy, on the heels of a talkathon with his shrink, needed some reassurance of his "identity crisis". In the lobby of the Lyric, he found Ellison Greer: his physical twin, if a little smaller, and darker skin. Broad forehead, a blade nose, a chin that won the west; and a natural grace, light and bouncy, an aristocrat in a shadowed skin. Yes, it described both of them except for color: Ellison was a butterscotch prince.They coupled briefly, became deep friends on other levels, conflict never far from hand. And then: murder. After Ellison is found brutally slain, the police were less than helpful. An unusual sex toy seemed the only clue. It's up to Cord to track down the killer. His search for the truth leads through the strangest underworlds New York has to offer. In the police, in his neighbors, in the people who know the truth about that brutal, perverse, modern urban murder, he comes to where the bizarre meets the beautiful - and his very own being is at stake. Richard Hall's first novel, a delicious and quirky murder mystery, is newly introduced by Jeffrey Round (Dan Sharp mysteries)."A deliciously written, softly witty and intricately plotted gay murder mystery ... A delight!" - In Touch"Hall's canvas is thickly populated with interesting figures and he has a nice touch for the potential of the lurid and banal alike. This is a neat, tidy thriller of the Agatha Christie variety, with an amateur sleuth and a convoluted plot, lots of local color and the pleasant addition of good sex scenes. Richard Hall uses the whodunit to advantage ... humanized it in a way few have before." - George Whitmore, The Advocate"The Butterscotch Prince has my admiration ... a good read in one sitting." - Michael Lynch, The Body Politic"Hall writes ... in a measured, often moving voice that explores the difficulties of grief and commitment." - Kirkus Reviews"The elegance and refinement of Hall's prose have once again marked him as one of our most distinguished writers." - Gay Pride

UNDERSTAND THE SERMON THAT SMASHES GOD'S KINGDOM INTO YOUR WORLD"I eventually had the devastating realization that, after growing up as a preacher's kid, getting a bachelor's andmaster's in theology, and doing a short stint in professional ministry, I had only waded in the shallows." - JeremyHave you been wading in the shallows of Christianity? When longtime Bible student Jeremy Bacon began seriously studying the Sermon on the Mount, he found his tidy worldview exploding.In the Sermon on the Mount, street-level wisdom and prophetic declaration collide. This sermon forces you to decide whether you're going to remain part of the crowd or step out in faith and be a devoted student of Jesus.Choosing the way of Jesus means more cost-and more reward-than you ever would have guessed.

KNOPP, executive director, RoomForDoubt.com; author of Truth About God"Jeremy Bacon hasn't just studied the Sermon on the Mount; he's fought to live it.

A western classic, back in print for the first time in 85 years! Dr. Cliff Monroe treats Shan Jungward, a nestor's ill daughter, inadvertently sparking a bloody range war between the homesteaders and the allied forces of cowmen and sheepherders. The conflict leads to homes being torched, cattle being slaughtered, and the potential massacre of entire families. To stop the destruction and bloodshed, and bring peace back to Painted Springs, Monroe has to strap on his guns and become the law once again... This book, published in 1938, was the third novel in Rubel's Medico of the West series. It was filmed in 1941 as the movie Prairie Stranger, starring Charles Starrett. The fourth book in the series, The Doctor of the West, was published in the UK under the pseudonym "Mason Macrae."

A forbidden love, a desperate choice, a frenzy of desire... Laurent is torn by her physical desire for Dan, her friend and doctor, and for Elsie, a woman who offers an exciting, forbidden love that makes her tremble just imagining it. To make a decision, she must discover what her true nature is...which she can only know by experiencing, and satisfying, both of her lusts in a frenzy of desire. And then she meets Johnny...who changes everything. John B. Thompson (1911-1994) was an under-appreciated author of sharply observant, brilliantly-written stories, primarily set in the deep south in the 1950s & '60s. Unfortunately, his books were packaged and marketed as "sleaze" for their uncompromising explicitness. So his bold work fell into obscurity. Now they are back in print for the first time in over 60 years. Praise for John B. Thompson "With colorful characters and multi-faceted, interlocking storylines, John B. Thompson creates a whirlwind novel ripe with violence and racial unrest. Fans of Charles Williams, Harry Whittington, and Erskine Caldwell should find plenty to like." Paperback Warrior

A savage novel of raw emotion, sudden violence, and frightening lust... a novel so daring that it was banned and pilloried...and then lost for over sixty years. This is the story of country people, derisively referred to as "hillbillies," who traveled to the big city in the 1950s for factory jobs...and where some of those men fell prey to ruthless, greedy women eager to fleece them of their hard-earned pay. Fran is one of those women, a former hillbilly herself, who knows how to expertly manipulate men. But then she gets involved with Leroy Landers, who wants more from her than what she wants to give, more than she can give, and when he doesn't get it, his backwoods rage boils over. Upon its release in 1957, Take It Out in Trade was immediately declared "objectionable" by the Roman Catholic Church's National Office of Decent Literature. The book soon fell out of print for decades and author Walter Whitney, believed to be a pseudonym, was never heard from again...at least not under his real name. Now the incendiary novel is finally back in print so you can decide if it is irredeemable trash, or pulpy, harmless entertainment...or even genuine literature.

Linda Litteral is a survivor of incest and rape who used art to heal from the destruction to the body and spirit which comes from physical and sexual abuse. In this courageous memoir, Litteral shares the story of her abuse, spanning eight years of incest perpetrated by her grandfather, a rape she experienced in high school, and physical and verbal violence she suffered at the hands of her first husband. She offers an in-depth psychological profile of the effects of abuse, including silence, shame, invisibility, powerlessness, guilt, and difficulties with trust and identity. She also illustrates how the body remembers abuse through symptomatology like dissociation, anxiety, chronic illness, and other post-traumatic stress responses. Yet Litteral has done more than survive her past-she's found a way to thrive in the present. She generously catalogs all the healing modalities she has experienced in her decades of undoing the destruction of her past, including talk therapy, meditation, yoga, breathwork, Tai Chi, and somatic-based therapies like acupuncture, EMDR, sacral cranial therapy, and Thought Field Therapy. But it's when Litteral discovers the power of creating and sharing her art that her healing journey begins in earnest. Accompanied by rich full-color images of her art in every chapter, Litteral shares stories about the creation of her pieces, their stunning symbology, and how they aided in her healing journey. Litteral is both an artist and an activist, a fierce champion for survivors, and an unabashed advocate for the healing power of art.---------------------------"Blues musicians describe how you need to have lived the blues to embody them, how music transforms suffering, and raises up freedom for yourself and your community. Linda Litteral does just that in this astonishing compendium of art and writing devoted to healing from incest and abuse." Helen Redman, Artist "A clear-eyed examination of life and personal trauma, this book accompanies an artist creating a healing path that cuts directly through pain to build a fulfilling life of generosity and truth. Using her intuition and creativity in navigating and challenging the forces that often pull one towards suffering or despair, Litteral chooses a journey that eventually leads to developing a new language and a new creative purpose. With a spirit of openness and exploration, she manages to speak to and nurture the artist she has always been. There are many important lessons for all of us in Litteral's self-revelatory journey. One of which is the power of listening to and accepting your own story and the transformative power that comes with pursuing and using your own voice." Lynn Sucholtz, Artist, Gallery Owner: Art Produce "Litteral's understanding that the source of violence was not only her grandfather but generations of her family and a broad culture of patriarchal misogyny is uniquely valuable. I recommend this book to all activists engaged in ending violence. That activism includes surviving and making change. A way of using art to teach and inform the journey of one survivor or for us all is shown in this book." Robert L Bray, PhD, LCSW, CTS, TFT-VT

Military general, intelligence agent, aristocrat, author, historian, major player in the pre-Soviet Russian reactionary right, Alexander Dmitrievich Nechvolodov (1864-1938) yet remains a relatively obscure figure in the Western world's memory of the Russian revolution. In the early twentieth century, his masterpiece The Story of the Russian Land was regarded as one of the best works about the history of Russia and received the highest approval of Emperor Nicholas II, filling the country's libraries. Originally written in 1909, Volume I covers the time period from antiquity to 1054, encompassing the initial dispersal of peoples throughout Eastern Europe, the culture of the Scythians and their various interactions with ancient empires and kingdoms, the relationships of the Rus' people with the Goths, Huns, Avars, Khazars, and others, the creation of the Kievan Rus' state and lives of their early rulers, and the religious influence of the Byzantine Empire on Kievan Rus' and their adoption of Christianity. The complete set of all four volumes was published in 1913 with the addition of over one thousand figures, mostly paintings and engravings, and this edition does include those figures that pertain to Volume I, which enrich the story tremendously. Much unlike the typical, dry historical text, The Story of the Russian Land truly is a story, told with passion and excitement from an author who loved his nation and her people and history. Antelope Hill Publishing is honored to provide the first English translation of The Story of the Russian Land by Alexander Dmitrievich Nechvolodov. Complete with a foreword by the translator, Dennis Sinclair, as well as editorial annotations for the benefit of the modern reader and the addition of geographic maps, this story will captivate Russophiles and lovers of history alike.

The legendary American jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald said it best, "It isn't where you come from; it's where you're going that counts." Born on April 25th in Newport, Virginia, Ella's early life was marked by hardships. Her parents never married, and her mother tragically passed away when she was just fifteen due to a car accident. Ella faced challenges and a difficult upbringing, including allegations of abuse and periods of homelessness. Yet, her love for music remained unwavering.In January 1935, an opportunity arose that would change Ella's life forever. She participated in a vocal contest at the Amateur Nights at the Apollo Theater and emerged victorious. From that moment, a new chapter began for Ella, brimming with obstacles and challenges in an era of discrimination and racial separatism. Despite criticism and being banned for her civil rights activism, Ella continued to dream, work hard, and forge her path forward.This anthology, inspired by Ella's journey, delves into the lives of women who have faced their own twists, bumps, and curves. Each story reflects their resilience, suffrage, tenacity, and unwavering faith in God. They wear the stiletto as a metaphor-a symbol of navigating through life's trials with grace and strength. Just as Ella's purity of tone and impeccable diction made her a revered figure in American history, they, too, have woven their unique narratives into the fabric of their collective experiences.Join them in this anthology, as they share our stories, demonstrating how faith and trust in God have lovingly guided them from pain to purpose. Discover the transformative power of resilience and the remarkable journeys of women who refuse to be defined by their past, embracing their true potential.Dr. Linda Harvey, acclaimed author and compiler of this empowering anthology, invites you to explore the depths of these testimonies and be inspired by the indomitable spirit of women who have overcome adversity to find their purpose.

Skin Deep is a book about the spirit of racism and how it affects our society. It identifies what we are fighting against, explains the root of where it surfaced, gives strategies for fighting against it, and provides insight into its destructive effects on individuals and relationships. Having a lifetime of experiences with African Americans and Caucasians gives Kristina Carter a unique perspective. As a Memphis native, she grew up in a neighborhood where 95 percent of the residents were African American. As a result of her upbringing, she understands the unique call God has strategically placed upon her life. She knows that her call is to bridge the gap between African Americans and Caucasians, and that this is a spiritual battle we are engaged in. Carter asserts that a spiritual war cannot be fought in the flesh, and that there is a domino effect resulting from this. As soon as racism is ingrained in a society, it has a snowball effect. Consequently, spirits of anger, hatred, murder, adversity, bullying, strife, fear, malice, separation, and division accompany it. Therefore, as a united body, we must understand what is really happening in the spirit realm and how to respond, accordingly.There is a sense of hope throughout Carter's book, as she strategizes to reach many leaders and notable influencers who can unify others in a stand toward ending racism. As part of her mission, she devised this book as an outright attack to align God's people and to unify their premise towards sustainable change. Carter's heart is for change- Godly change. It is her prayer that Skin Deep brings people together like never before, as it reflects the heart of God concerning racism in the spirit realm.
