In the fourteen short stories in this book, the author, Kelly J. Morris, draws upon his fifty-year association with Africa to open a window into the countries bordering the Bight of Benin. A long indentation into the coastline of the Gulf of Guinea, the waters of the Bight of Benin have a strong undertow. The region was the source of so many of the enslaved Africans carried off to the Americas that it was called "The Slave Coast." In these stories set in Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria, we meet the Water Witch, a skinny French brother who claims he can find water with his divining rod; bank employees and African-American immigrants enduring Ghana's hard times; an extension agent demoted to janitor; subsistence farmers struggling in the money economy; civil servants with secure jobs but with enormous family responsibilities; an apprentice truck driver with ambitions for a better life; small business owners trying to make a living and stay in business; women and girls carving out new roles while trying to maintain respect for their culture; devout practitioners of traditional religions, Christianity, and Islam; true believers and charlatans; and many more.

Thomas Marlowe, former pirate and captain of the Guardship, lives prosperously on his tobacco plantation near Williamsburg with his lovely wife Elizabeth.

Setting off in pursuit of the blackbirder, struggling to maintain control over his crew - rough privateers, set only on plunder - Marlowe follows James's trail of destruction all the way to the shores of Africa. There, in the slave port of Whydah, James and Marlowe face a common threat - and their final showdown. The Blackbirder is the second book of the Brethren of the Coast trilogy. Marlowe's story continues in The Pirate Round. Have you read The Guardship, the first adventure of the trilogy?

This is Book #1 of 3 in the World/Time Diaspora trilogy.
It’s the summer of 2041.
One year earlier, America elected its first Mexican American president. Unemployment is at a record low, the economy is humming, and opportunities are plentiful…but not for everyone. The white population is now in the minority, with some feeling threatened and “surrounded” by the changing demographics; as if they are on the verge of extinction. These folks migrate to the upper northwest of the US to form an unofficial white ethnostate, which is mockingly known as “the Caucasian Caliphate.”
Some feel the heat of a second Civil War simmering.
A controversial political talk show host named Gerry Baines makes a proclamation about God’s intervention to cure America’s woes via an existential breaking point, in the form of a major, but unknown, event. One week later, on August 8th, three African slave ships appear out of thin air in Kips Bay, between NY and NJ.
A special team, led by Secretary of State Lucy Fender (in town for a UN Conference), is recruited to investigate the mysterious appearance of the ships. The team includes a quantum physicist named Kiki Bishop, a university professor named Joseph Healey, and his friend and colleague, Maxmilian Oroko—an African language specialist and historian.
Onorede Madaki is a warrior from the Krou tribe in 17th Century Africa. He embarks on what his village elders believe is an insane mission: to seek out and be purposefully captured by the “pale face ghosts” invading their land and rumored to abduct people from neighboring tribes for nefarious, and possibly cannibalistic horrors. While imprisoned on a slave ship during its Middle Passage, he and two of his tribesmen wind up on one of the ships caught in the time travel event.
Meanwhile, in the 27th Century, a mysterious man has accomplished the impossible; but at what cost?
Part satire, part historical drama, and spanning over thousands of years, this is a story that asks the question... “If you could go back in time, could you prevent African slavery?”

“Timbuktu is a real place, and Charlie English will fuel your wanderlust with true descriptions of the fabled city’s past, present, and future.” –Fodor’s Two tales of a city: The historical race to “discover” one of the world’s most mythologized places, and the story of how a contemporary band of archivists and librarians, fighting to save its ancient manuscripts from destruction at the hands of al Qaeda, added another layer to the legend. To Westerners, the name “Timbuktu” long conjured a tantalizing paradise, an African El Dorado where even the slaves wore gold. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, a series of explorers gripped by the fever for “discovery” tried repeatedly to reach the fabled city. But one expedition after another went disastrously awry, succumbing to attack, the climate, and disease. Timbuktu was rich in another way too. A medieval center of learning, it was home to tens of thousands—according to some, hundreds of thousands—of ancient manuscripts, on subjects ranging from religion to poetry, law to history, pharmacology, and astronomy. When al-Qaeda–linked jihadists surged across Mali in 2012, threatening the existence of these precious documents, a remarkable thing happened: a team of librarians and archivists joined forces to spirit the manuscripts into hiding. Relying on extensive research and firsthand reporting, Charlie English expertly twines these two suspenseful strands into a fraught and fascinating account of one of the planet's extraordinary places, and the myths from which it has become inseparable.

The essays, reviews, memoirs and other writings collected here for the first time conjure up one of the great critical imaginations of our time. Grouped into four sections (Art and Poetry; Autobiography and Travel; Literature; and Religion, Politics and Philosophy), they demonstrate the wide range of Muriel Spark's knowledge and interests, and throw into relief the people, places and ideas that inspired her throughout her life as a working writer. The book includes perceptive essays on literary figures including the Brontës, Robert Frost, T. S. Eliot and Robert Louis Stevenson; engaging accounts of visits to John Masefield, Edith Sitwell, and Louis MacNeice's home (in the absence of its owner); and reflections on the sermons of Cardinal Newman and the Old Testament book of Job as perennially rich sources of spiritual nourishment. The novelist's eye for the telling detail is evident in portraits of the cities - Venice, Rome, Ravenna, Istanbul - which Muriel Spark visited or in which she made her home. As Penelope Jardine puts it in her preface, this book tells many things'.T
