The Courage to Write: How Writers Transcend Fear
by Ralph Keyes“One of the best books about the writing profession ever published.” ―The Fresno BeeKatherine Anne Porter called courage “the first essential” for a writer. “I have to talk myself into bravery with every sentence,” agreed Cynthia Ozick, “sometimes every syllable.” E. B. White said he admired anyone who “has the guts to write anything at all.”In The Courage to Write, Ralph Keyes, an author who has taught writing for more than thirty years, assures us that anxiety is felt by writers at every level, especially when they dare to do their best. He describes the sequence of “courage points” through which all writers must pass, from the challenge of identifying a worthwhile project to the mixture of pride and panic they feel when examining a newly published book or article.Keyes also offers specifics on how to root out dread of public “performance” and of the judgment of family and friends, make the best use of writers’ workshops and conferences, and handle criticism of works in progress. Throughout, he includes the comments of many accomplished writers—Pat Conroy, Amy Tan, Rita Dove, Isabel Allende, and others—on how they transcended their own fears to produce great works.“Fresh and startling—one of the two or three best books on writing I’ve ever read.” ―John Jakes, #1 New York Times-bestselling author“Keyes has written thoughtfully and well about the roles of fear and courage in the writing process. Bravo!” —Lawrence Block, New York Times-bestselling author

The Last Counterfeiter: The Story of Fake Money, Real Art, and Forging the Impossible $100 Bill
by Jason Kersten“The heart of this wonderful book, which reads like the script for a caper movie...as Williams improvises his way to becoming an expert counterfeiter.” —Washington Post (Best Book of the Year selection)When Art Williams Jr.’s father abandoned the family and his bipolar mother lost her mind, a life of crime in Chicago quickly claimed him. Parking meter theft led to robbing drug dealers before Art fatefully met a man nicknamed DaVinci who taught him the skill of counterfeiting money. After just a few years, Art would print millions of counterfeit bills, selling them to criminal organizations, all while trying to raise a family on the side.Art’s greatest challenge arose when the Treasury Department released the 1996 note, the most intricate and secure bill ever created. Between painstakingly perfecting a new hundred-dollar bill to bypass the naked eye and security measures alike, Art was slipping by the Secret Service hunting him, and searching for his long-lost father, a path that ultimately led to his undoing.Prison may have been the end, but with the same creativity and ambition that locked him up, Art reinvented himself as a professional artist. Art’s unbelievable journey extends beyond a life of crime to one of second chances, healing family wounds, and ultimately, triumph."A rollicking and captivating look into a compelling criminal mind.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review“A gripping testament to the ills of greed and egotism.” —Forbes "A book you can't put down—intriguing characters, razor-thin escapes, and a writing style that keeps you racing through."—Bruce Porter, New York Times bestselling author of Blow: How a Small-Town Boy Made $100 Million with the Medellin Cocaine Cartel and Lost It All

A Summer in the Country
by Marcia WillettThree women. Three secrets. One unforgettable summer. “Vibrant characters, and [an] excellent depiction of the English countryside.” —Booklist (starred review)Brigid Foster has inherited Foxhole from her father, and has created two guest cottages, which she rents during the holidays to tourists. Brigid’s delight at welcoming Louise Parry, one of her regular summer visitors, is tempered by the irritating presence of Brigid’s monumentally judgmental mother, Frummie. Having abandoned Foxhole (and Brigid) forty years earlier, Frummie makes no secret of her disdain for the glorious natural splendor of her surroundings, nor of her preference for Brigid’s flightly but fabulous half-sister, Jemima. Jemima, meanwhile, has problems of her own.When a stranger begins lurking in the isolated byways of the lonely countryside, Brigid turns to her oddly elusive father-in-law for comfort and protection. But both Brigid and Louise Parry are hiding certain essential facts, and each woman’s fragile sense of haven and security is threatened by disclosure. A Summer in the Country is the story of the enduring, but often painful love that exists between mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives. It describes with exquisite sensitivity and tenderness the precarious journey each of us undertakes as one generation makes way for the next, as each indelible and priceless relationship grows, changes, blossoms, or dies. Marcia Willett writes novels that will last.“An intriguing relationship drama . . . an insightful character study.” —Midwest Book Review
Holy Cow: A Novel
by David DuchovnyThe X-Files star and bestselling author’s “zany, madcap first novel . . . is a seriously entertaining fable that doesn’t take itself too seriously” (John Wilwol, The Washington Post).Elsie Bovary is a cow, and a pretty happy one at that—her long, lazy days are spent eating, napping, and chatting with her best friend, Mallory. One night, Elsie and Mallory sneak out of their pasture; but while Mallory is interested in flirting with the neighboring bulls, Elsie finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she sees the farmer’s family gathered around a bright Box God—and what the Box God reveals about something called an “industrial meat farm” shakes Elsie’s understanding of her world to its core.There’s only one solution: escape to a better, safer world. And so a motley crew is formed: Elsie; Jerry—excuse me, Shalom—a cranky, Torah-reading pig who’s recently converted to Judaism; and Tom, a suave (in his own mind, at least) turkey who can’t fly, but who can work an iPhone with his beak. Toting stolen passports and slapdash human disguises, they head for the airport.Elsie is our wise-cracking, pop-culture-reference-dropping, slyly witty narrator; Tom—who does eventually learn to fly (sort of)—dispenses psychiatric advice in a fake German accent; and Shalom, rejected by his adopted people in Jerusalem, ends up unexpectedly uniting Israelis and Palestinians. David Duchovny’s charismatic creatures point the way toward a mutual understanding and acceptance that the world desperately needs.“Who knew a cow’s view of the world was so funny yet so honest and true? Holy Cow is silly and fun from the opening page.” —Jeff Ayers, The Denver Post

As befits the subject, Not Since Carrie is full of entertaining backstage reportage . . .

All That Can Be Expected: The Battle of Camden and the British High Tide in the South, August 16, 1780 (Emerging Revolutionary War Series)
by Mark Wilcox Robert OrrisonA history and analysis of the 1780 South Carolina battle that marked the turning point for Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War. “An impressive work of collaborative historical research by historians Robert Orrison and Mark Wilcox, this is the newest title in the simply outstanding ‘Emerging Revolutionary War’ series from Savas Beatie and a welcome, unreservedly recommended pick.”—Midwest Book Review “They have done all that can be expected of them, we are outnumbered and outflanked,” explained Lt. Col. Benjamin Ford regarding the desperate situation his Marylanders faced on the disastrous day of August 16, 1780.Many historians consider the battle of Camden as the high tide of Great Britain’s prospects for victory in the American South. In the spring of 1780, British leadership focused their attention on conquering the Southern Colonies. Charleston capitulated, along with the bulk of the American army defending it, in May of 1780. After its fall, the British set up outposts across South Carolina’s backcountry to secure that colony before moving into North Carolina. In response, the Continental Congress sent Gen. Horatio Gates, the “hero of Saratoga,” to take over the Southern Department. Gates reorganized the forces there and named his field command “Grand Army,” whose core was a small contingent of experienced Continentals from Maryland and Delaware. The majority, however, was comprised of untested soldiers and newly recruited militia from Virginia and North Carolina. Soon after his arrival, Gates led his army south to confront the British near Camden, South Carolina. The mostly inexperienced American force found itself facing some of the best units of the British army under the command of one of its best generals, Charles Cornwallis. The result was an unmitigated disaster for the Americans with far-reaching consequences.In All That Can Be Expected: The Battle of Camden and the British High Tide in the South, August 16, 1780, historians Rob Orrison and Mark Wilcox set forth the events surrounding one of the worst American military defeats in United States history. Readers will also follow in the footsteps of American and British soldiers through the South Carolina backcountry on a narrative tour to help better understand this fascinating campaign of August 1780.

Fat Boy and the Champagne Salesman: Göring, Ribbentrop, and the Nazi Invasion of Poland
by Rush Loving Jr.“A wonderfully researched, written, and fast-paced book about the inevitable march toward World War II, and the personalities who made it a reality.” —Fred Rasmussen, Baltimore SunFat Boy and the Champagne Salesman offers a compelling behind-the-scenes exploration of the road to World War II and the invasion of Poland by the Hitler’s Third Reich. Focusing on the personal power plays within Hitler’s inner circle, author Rush Loving details the struggle for Hitler’s approval, long before the battle for Poland had begun.The rivalry was between “Fat Boy,” the moniker given to Hermann Göring by his fellow Nazi generals, and “the Champagne Salesman,” Joachim von Ribbentrop, nicknamed for his previous career, and it was at the heart of Germany’s plans for the expansion of the Reich into Poland. Göring, founder of the Lüftwaffe and the man who oversaw the armaments industry, was convinced that any invasion of Poland would lead to war with England and France, who were committed to its defense. Von Ribbentrop, Hitler’s foreign minister, argued that the Allies would stand down and continue their policy of appeasement. Only one would be proven correct.An engrossing and dramatic tale, Fat Boy and the Champagne Salesman shows Göring and Ribbentrop playing a tug-of-war with Hitler’s will. Loving’s vivid narrative of the struggle between the two advisers lends a new understanding of the events leading to the opening days of World War II.“A fascinating, meticulously researched account of the infighting at the top of the Nazi hierarchy during the run-up to the opening act of World War II.”—Andrew Nagorski, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs
