This inspiring, true story of a Black community sheds new light on the history of segregation and inequity in American education The system of educational apartheid that existed in the United States until the Brown v. Board of Education decision and its aftermath has affected every aspect of life for Black Americans.

From a low orbit Annie scans Earth for an acceptable location where her people can colonize. Their own planet is burning out, and they have taken to outer space in a desperate search for a new home. Annie is the chosen explorer for an advance mission to Earth, the only planet within reach that can sustain them. During her scans, her craft malfunctions and plummets toward the surface, crashing at an abandoned farm. In a nearby small town seventeen-year-old Mark lingers at his bedroom window hoping for a glimpse of the girl next door. When a fiery object streaks across the nighttime sky, Mark gives up his voyeuristic vigil and hustles to the crash site. He finds Annie and is taken with her beauty and alluring ways. He befriends the fetching alien, and together they begin a struggle to assimilate her people into a new and unfamiliar world. Acceptance does not come easy. They encounter frightened citizens, hostile military forces, the media, and the President of the United States, all of whom treat the visitors and their advanced technology as a threatening alien invasion. Annie Somewhere is a poignant story of social and technical differences, inept government interference, and the struggles of a lone visitor to save her civilization from extinction. The story delves into the unlikely pairing of a star-struck teenage boy and a beautiful and mesmerizing alien woman as they set out to overcome human prejudice and find acceptance for a culture of gentle and caring alien beings.

When an alien invasion threatens everyone she loves, cybernetic samurai Cat LeBlanc must upgrade her warrior skills, in this thrilling cyberpunk tale. The megacity of New Montreal has become ground zero for the Antithesis. Having burrowed deep beneath every continent on Earth, the aliens have emerged in massive waves, destroying all sentient creatures in their path. All that's standing in their way is the elite vanguard of cyber-samurai determined to stop humanity's extinction at all costs. Catherine "Cat" LeBlanc has only been a samurai for a week, tackling trials by fire as they erupt with guts, grit, and a lot of explosives. As a warrior-still-in-training, her unorthodox and spontaneous fighting style has saved many lives. Now, with New Montreal recruiting soldiers for war, Cat will be on the frontlines with fellow samurai like pyrotechnic nun Gomorrah; buggy, trigger-happy Grasshopper; and goth public relations specialist Emoscythe Mordeath Noir. Despite her prowess in battle, Cat requires stronger armor and more powerful weapons to defeat the Antithesis's endless hordes. She also needs to ensure her girlfriend, Lucy, and their "kittens"—the brood of orphans they've adopted—are safe. But protecting New Montreal and its citizens requires methods of warfare designed to quickly wipe out as many Antithesis as possible. Is the price of victory worth the potential mass destruction it will leave in its wake?

Doug Stanhope is one of the most critically acclaimed and stridently unrepentant comedians of his generation. What will surprise some is that he owes so much of his dark and sometimes uncomfortably honest sense of humor to his mother, Bonnie. It was the cartoons in her Hustler magazine issues that molded the beginnings of his comedic journey, long before he was old enough to know what to do with the actual pornography. It was Bonnie who recited Monty Python sketches with him, who introduced him to Richard Pryor at nine years old, and who rescued him from a psychologist when he brought that brand of humor to school. And it was Bonnie who took him along to all of her AA meetings, where Doug undoubtedly found inspiration for his own storytelling. Bonnie's own path from bartending to truck driving, massage therapy, elder abuse, stand-up comedy, and acting never stopped her from being Doug's genuine number one fan. So when her alcoholic, hoarding life finally came to an end many weird adventures later in rural Arizona, it was inevitable that Doug and Bonnie would be together for one last excursion. Digging Up Mother follows Doug's absurd, chaotic, and often obscene life as it intersects with that of his best friend, biggest fan, and love of his life-his mother. And it all starts with her death-one of the most memorable and amazing farewells you will ever read.

When my father Ellis was born, most families were larger then than they are now. Times were hard and medicines available were not much help when people became ill. One of my dads brothers and a sister died in infancy. He was one of seven other brothers and one other sister who lived to become adults, to marry, and have children. Dad loved his joke about seven brothers being in the family and all having a sister each. The story was told in such a way to sound as if there had been fourteen children rather than eight. The two oldest brothers were already married at the time their mother died. Ellis was three and a half years old. His sister Alma was fifteen. For a while she kept house and cared for the brothers left at home. About two years later she married. Soon after that, their father married again. Two of the five children he and his second wife had died in early childhood.
