Between 1928 and 1932, J. P. McEvoy published six ingenious novels that unfold solely by way of letters, telegrams, newspaper articles, ads, telephone transcriptions, scripts, playbills, greeting card verses, interoffice memos, legal documents, monologues, song lyrics, police reports, and radio broadcasts. Three of them, collected here for the first time, record the wild career of a jazz baby named Dixie Dugan (modeled on actress Louise Brooks, whom McEvoy knew). The best-selling SHOW GIRL tracks Dixie's zigzagging path to success on Broadway; in HOLLYWOOD GIRL, she heads out West for further risqué adventures, and impulsively marries a rich playboy; in SOCIETY, Dixie mingles with high society both in Europe and the U.S. before returning to Hollywood to resume her show-biz career.Beneath the novels' hellzapoppin' energy and jazzy lingo, however, McEvoy exposes the dark underside of the times: sexual predation, tabloid journalism, political corruption, the rise of religious fundamentalism, and the fatuous lifestyles of the rich and famous. But it's the blend of humor and bite, of success and failure, of ridicule and irony-shaken and stirred with linguistic and formal ingenuity-that makes The Dixie Dugan Trilogy "a madcap, mordant masterpiece," as critic Steven Moore writes in his informative introduction. Out of print since the 1930s, these "avant-pop" novels deserve a revival.

The second traces the continued expansion of California's missions under the leadership of Francisco Lasuen. And the third touches upon the founding of the final three missions.

My love for giraffes had come about from a very early age. The very beauty they exude by virtue of their stature speaks loud and clear! Having learned so much about this animal species, I had always felt driven to bring these beautiful animals to light in a whimsical and fantastical story that shows cause, blending together both the pure and basic goodness of our human condition and that of their species - indeed a "soul connection" finding that what we both need and want parallels who we both are, in the best of ways, thus further complimenting the beauty of this earthy life. Their friendly and inviting nature never needed benefit of vocal cords as they are heard loud and clear through the powerful energy of their thoughts in the grandeur of their tall and willful stature!In Loving Memory of my Mother Lorraine Melazzo

Age is irrelevant, lust is ageless, lust worshippers are ageless.

Orpheus was the son of ¿agrus, King of Thrace, and Calliope, one of the Muses. He was the first poet and first inspired singer, and his whole life is the history of the results of divine harmony. Lord of the seven-stringed lyre, all men flocked to hear him, and wild beasts lay peacefully at his feet; trees and stones were not unmoved at the music of his heavenly instrument. The denizens of the unseen world and the princes of Hades rejoiced at the tones of his harp. Companion of the Argonauts in their famous expedition, the good ship Argo glides gently over the peaceful sea at the will of his magic strains; the fearsome moving rocks of the Symplegades that threatened Argo with destruction were held motionless; the dragon of Colchis that watched the golden fleece was plunged in sleep profound.

Follow the path to madness with each turn of the page in this collection of uniquely twisted tales and poems from the author of H. A. Carter.From a fly on the wall witnessing a gruesome torture, to running from hungry zombies, and dodging death's door, these stories are sure to keep you entertained and keep you awake at night.

These poems are concerned in one way or another by encounters the Outer Hebrides and its landscapes, inspired by summers spent there since childhood, and chart an inner journey of growing awareness of the world as much as the physical journey to reach that destination.The poems range from triple haiku in Gaelic, to reflections on the natural world, fauna, landscape, and the constant presence of the past in form of standing stones, to longer allegorical poems such as the title piece charting an individual's progress towards reconciliation with themselves. A theme that loosely unites the collection is journeys: not just homecomings, both fulfilled and cruelly thwarted, to destinations rooted in memory, but also those undertaken by refugees fleeing their homes today.They describe a journey across the water which is also a journey back to childhood, a journey into memory, into nature and history and prehistory, myth and legend, and a journey to a place where our unreliable recollection of the past and imperfect prescience of an unknowable future meet, a lost world and an imaginary world where all paths tangle in a knot of nostalgia and anxiety, a place of loss where something still endures to console us.
