Yorkshire in the sixties: coal pits, cotton mills, pie and peas, football pools and the gee-gees. If you're lucky, like our hero, Rich, you get promoted from the workshop to a white-collar job. In fact, if you're Rich, you're very lucky indeed! He wins on the horses, survives rejection by Jean, goes from cricketing stooge to ace catcher, moves up from a Hillman Minx to a Ford Cortina, and finds the love of his life... but can he keep her? Will his luck run out or will he show his true mettle and find the world is his oyster - along with the pearl? Richard A Booth's acutely observed story of young people in a Northern city undergoing a tide of change is humorous, touching and undeniably romantic. At its heart is a simplicity that is nostalgic and strangely endearing. Yes, we've all moved on from then, but have we moved anywhere better? RICHARD A BOOTH was raised on the Wilton Estate, Batley, Yorkshire, by loving parents who did their best for him and his sister. He was educated at Carlingow J&I, Batley Grammar and Bradford Tech (thanks, teachers). He was employed within the Bradford-based companies of the AE Group for thirty-two years, then worked for Dove's Layland Daf with his brother-in-law for three years. He considers himself privileged to have known many amazing people.

Aileen Mary Eleanor Drabble was a young woman just out of school when in 1911 she immigrated to Canada along with her family. They left the comfort of upper class British society to start again in Vancouver then a booming city on the edge of the Canadian frontier. Impetuous and headstrong Aileen soon fell in love with a gold prospector. Together they embarked on a 40-year adventure marked by both great elation and deep adversity. Whether in Vancouver or in the wilderness of BC's interior, Aileen known as Mimi to her family, left an indelible impression on nearly everyone she met. More than 30 years after her death those who knew her still tell stories about her. Though never famous she was very much a pioneer whose life in many ways paralleled the journey of her adopted country from a British colony to an independent nation....

Seeing the future with ease, the Joon live a contented life. Until their greatest visionary foresees a terrible danger that can only be avoided by destroying a world inhabited by ten billion people who have done them no harm. Sojourning through the deeps of space, the Joon capture a monstrous comet and send it to a neighbouring star and the planet called earth. Their objective is not to destroy the earth but to manipulate the future of mankind in three separate timelines and force them to converge. For only then will the long prophesied Forge of Time be born, a prescient human who will build an empire to rule a thousand stars and bend destiny itself to save three species from an implacable enemy.

MICHAEL STRELOW WEAVES THE STORY OF A TOWN and its mysteries in his debut novel, The Greening of Ben Brown, an Oregon Book Award Finalist for fiction 2005. Ben Brown, the protagonist, becomes a citizen of East Leven, Oregon, after he recovers from an electrocution that has not left him dead but has turned him green. He befriends eighteen year-old Andrew James and together they unearth a chemical spill cover-up that forces the town to confront its demons and its citizens to choose sides. Strelow's lyrical prose and his talent for storytelling come together in this poetic and important first work that looks at how a town and the natural environment are inextricably linked. The Greening of Ben Brown will find itself in good company on the shelves between Winesburg, Ohio and To Kill a Mockingbird and readers of both will have a new story to cherish.

Jesse James, General Custer, and Casey Jones. The Pony Express, The Momon handcart odyssey to Zion. The Forty-Niners pick-and-shovel pilgrimage to Mammon. These are the colorful stuff of Western American folklore, part of an original and vital heritage passed on through songs, tales, and dime novels in the last century, and movies, advertising, and television serials in our own. In The Code of the West folklorist Bruce Rosenberg takes a look at some of the most durable legends of frontier days, explores the origins of their popularity, and deciphers the messages—or code—they communicate. What emerges is a fuller understanding of American culture as a whole, for Rosenberg shows us that American attitudes toward the West have always been linked to the hopes, ideals, and aspirations of the nation.
