"Ivy and Mac are on the road, headed for their long-delayed honeymoon. Baja! Beaches! Romance and shrimp tacos and sunshine! But then comes a panicky phone call from good friend Magnolia, who is, as usual, looking into her complicated family genealogy. What she’s found this time is not another fourth-cousin-three-times-removed, but a dead body in the middle of a desert town. Except that this body, unlike the dead bodies with which Ivy has had past experience, has vanished. Magnolia is uncertain if she made a foolish mistake about there ever being a body, or if something sinister is going on. Sinister as in murder. Mac and Ivy figure a brief side trip to Prosperity, Arizona, to help their old friend won’t take long, but when they arrive they find complications. In addition to the missing body, there’s an old cowboy trying to revive a faded western-movie career, a possible blackmailing, and a two-million-dollar insurance policy. Also an ex-model writing the Great American Novel, her artist boyfriend, gloomy about his surprising success as a painter of desert roadrunners, and a hungry roadrunner named Harry. And somewhere in the desert scene, there’s also a killer, now determined to put Ivy and Mac into the category of the missing dead. Join Ivy and Mac for another lighthearted adventure through mayhem and danger in this third book in the Mac ‘n’ Ivy Mysteries series."

Detour

"What follows a wedding? A honeymoon, of course. The beginning of a happily-ever-after future in which Ivy and Mac will travel the country in their motorhome searching for the perfect place to settle down and live. No more dead bodies. No more murders. Instead, here they are on a detour to an old dinosaur park, and Ivy is up to her possum-gray hair in ghost goats, deteriorating dinosaurs, and… what else? A dead body, of course. Ivy and Mac vow non-involvement, no searching for clues or killers this time, but it’s a vow difficult to maintain when they seem to be at the top of the list of suspects. There’s a gun with Mac’s initials scratched into it, a hint of dastardly doings in the past, an exploding Porsche, and a covert climb over a chain link fence into the dinosaur’s domain. Is Ivy in danger from the dinosaurs? Or is it more a case of watch out, dinosaurs—here comes Ivy!"

Fugazi's In on the Kill Taker

"By June 1993, when Washington, D.C.'s Fugazi released their third full-length album In on the Kill Taker, the quartet was reaching a thunderous peak in popularity and influence. With two EPs (combined into the classic CD 13 songs) and two albums (1990's genre-defining Repeater and 1991's impressionistic follow-up Steady Diet of Nothing) inside of five years, Fugazi was on creative roll, astounding increasingly large audiences as they toured, blasting fist-pumping anthems and jammy noise-workouts that roared into every open underground heart. When the album debuted on the now-SoundScan-driven charts, Fugazi had never been more in the public eye. Few knew how difficult it had been to make this popular breakthrough. Disappointed with the sound of the self-produced Steady Diet, the band recorded with legendary engineer Steve Albini, only to scrap the sessions and record at home in D.C. with Ted Niceley, their brilliant, under-known producer. Inadvertently, Fugazi chose an unsure moment to make In on the Kill Taker: as Nirvana and Sonic Youth were yanking the American rock underground into the media glare, and “breaking” punk in every possible meaning of the word. Despite all of this, Kill Taker became an alt-rock classic in spite of itself, even as its defiant, muscular sound stood in stark contrast to everything represented by the mainstreaming of a culture and worldview they held dear. This book features new interviews with all four members of Fugazi and members of their creative community."

The Pirate King: The Strange Adventures of Henry Avery and the Birth of the Golden Age of Piracy

"The incredible story of the “Robin Hood of the Seas,” who absconded with millions during the Golden Age of Piracy and who harbored an even greater secret. Henry Avery of Devon pillaged a fortune from a Mughal ship off the coast of India and then vanished into thin air—and into legend. More ballads, plays, biographies and books were written about Avery’s adventures than any other pirate. His contemporaries crowned him 'the pirate king' for pulling off the richest heist in pirate history and escaping with his head intact (unlike Blackbeard and his infamous Flying Gang). Avery was now the most wanted criminal on earth. To the authorities, Avery was the enemy of all mankind. To the people he was a hero. Rumors swirled about his disappearance. The only certainty is that Henry Avery became a ghost. What happened to the notorious Avery has been pirate history’s most baffling cold case for centuries. Now, in a remote archive, a coded letter written by 'Avery the Pirate' himself, years after he disappeared, reveals a stunning truth. He was a pirate that came in from the cold . . . In The Pirate King, Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan brilliantly tie Avery to the shadowy lives of two other icons of the early 18th century, including Daniel Defoe, the world-famous novelist and—as few people know—a deep-cover spy with more than a hundred pseudonyms, and Archbishop Thomas Tenison, a Protestant with a hatred of Catholic France. Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan's The Pirate King brilliantly reveals the untold epic story of Henry Avery in all it's colorful glory—his exploits, his survival, his secret double life, and how he inspired the golden age of piracy."

The Opposite of Depression: What My Work with Suicidal Patients Has Taught Me about Life, Hope, and How to Flourish

"Stanford-trained psychiatrist David Carreon, MD, reveals what it takes to move from nagging disappointment, dissatisfaction, or depression to a life of thriving.

But he also saw very clearly that just eliminating the symptoms of depression wasn't enough. To live a truly fulfilling life, his patients needed to leave old habits behind and embrace the patterns of flourishing. In The Opposite of Depression, he draws on insights from his clinical experience, the latest research, and his Christian faith to point listeners to principles and practices that promote thriving in mind, body, and soul. Each chapter offers practical steps listeners can take to start moving in the direction of greater satisfaction, fulfillment, and purpose."
