Thomas Pfeiffer, a man with a name and no memory wakes up in a rustic farmhouse tied to a bed and surrounded by people who urge him that he must help them. Unable to understand how and wanting to ask, he is assaulted by unseen voices that cry out in his mind and threaten to fracture the integrity of his sanity. To escape these voices, he travels to different times in the checkered history of Debouton "Boonetown" Alabama. He follows the Boones and an entity referred to as "The Piper" and finds himself confronted by elements of the supernatural. He also discovers that these "travels" are not dreams in the traditional sense and that he has the power to change that particular part of the past he inhabits. As each new piece is uncovered he comes to the realization that the Piper has an agenda, and time is wasting. Will Thomas Pfeiffer be able to put the pieces together and find what he has to do before the Time of Reckoning is at hand? Time, existence, and his sanity hang in the balance.

Billy “Two Bears” Simpson is a member of the St. Paul Police Force. He is of mixed race, half Dakota Sioux and half White. He has been raised in the White community, but still has ties with the Mdewakanton Dakota Reservation. Kelly Stewart is Billy’s partner on the force. Despite regulations against it, they have become involved. When a serial killer puts the city of St. Paul on edge, the two are assigned to the case. Jack Kinkaid, the serial killer, has Kelly in his sights. He has plans to abduct her, but in this case keep her alive, for reasons known only to him. This novel offers other unforgettable characters, including clinical psychologist Dr. Pam Stover, small town attorney Lynn Broadwater, Sheriff John Brown, Red Eagle and elders of the reservation who speak truths about the two cultures that Billy embodies. This gripping story weaves historical events including the massacre at Wounded Knee and the U.S.-Dakota Conflict with a modern-day crime and its subsequent trial. It explores the systems of justice found in multiple cultures, along with Billy’s struggle to reconcile the duality of his heritage. This unique novel will keep the reader thinking long after the final page. Please consider my novel, THE TRIALS OF BILLY TWO BEARS, a crime story and courtroom drama about a man who struggles with the duality of cultures within him. Expert in the skills of Native American tracking, hand-to-hand combat and horse-whispering, Detective Billy “Two Bears” Simpson, half Dakota and half White, wears a gold shield for the St. Paul Police Department. When his partner, the beautiful Kelly Stewart, is kidnapped, Billy uses Native American tracking skills to uncover clues that were overlooked by the investigating officers that lead to the arrest of a suspect. What they do not realize is that the kidnapper has set a plan in motion that if he is caught, he will manipulate the judicial system into setting him free. Then he will be able to re-visit Kelly at will. He will have a living victim to satisfy his desires. The missteps by the prosecution occur as planned, the indictment is dismissed “with prejudice” and the kidnapper is free to go after Kelly as she tries to recover. And there is nothing the White Man’s law can do. Will Billy abide by these unjust laws, as he has sworn to do, or will he protect Kelly? In a vision, “Two Bears” is transported back to December 1890, Wounded Knee Creek South Dakota, where he watches helplessly as the Sioux are massacred by the United States Army. His people slaughtered by his people. Billy seeks guidance in hours spent in the Dakota “sweat lodge” where he listens as Elders tell of simple truths. As Kelly’s torment intensifies, Billy decides to forgo the impotent laws and take matters into his own hands, When a body is found in a burned-out farmhouse, Billy is arrested and put on trial for his life. Attorney Lynn Broadwater, who has ties to the Dakota reservation, is hired to represent Billy. Will Billy pay for the crime of protecting Kelly when the law would not, or will Broadwater find a way to help the jury find justice, but stay within the framework of the law? In researching this novel, I have spent time at the Prairie Island Reservation, interviewing Elders of the Tribe.

Broken Bat Single By: James Thibodeau This daily journal tells the story of Dave Nichols, a veteran minor league catcher who finally earns a job in the major leagues when he makes the 1993 National League expansion team in Colorado at an age when most playing careers are ending. In a season full of losses, unexpected gains are made through his chronicling of its highs and lows, however. Nichols' discovery of his talent for writing and the healing effect his son's birth has on his troubled marriage make the season memorable for him, even if play on the field is often forgettable. The book's central message is one of gain arising from loss, which ought to be universally relevant. We all lose more often than we care to, but some of our greatest gains could not have come about without losses. The unique feature of Broken Bat Single is the combination of the historical events of the actual games of the 1993 National League season and the narrator's fictional team. Author James Thibodeau simply hopes readers take pleasure from his words, whether baseball fans or not.

A remarkable record of fifteen trophies in thirteen seasons at Ibrox, plus two with East Fife, should be enough to give any manager legendary status. Especially when the same man became the first manager in Britain to take his club to a European final. Scot Symon did all that and more - and yet he is now an almost forgotten Rangers manager. Scot Symon actually took Rangers to two European finals and had he won one, his place in history would have been assured. Instead, he became Ibrox's forgotten man, his contribution woefully neglected. Now, in Great Scot, David Leggat tells the fascinating story of Scot Symon and shows how he helped shape the history of Rangers, managing legendary players such as John Greig, Willie Henderson and the greatest of them all, Jim Baxter - who gave his genius to Symon's most outstanding team. And among the biggest names in Scottish football, past and present, who tell their Symon stories, there is a heartfelt tribute to Scot Symon from the last signing he made for Rangers - Sir Alex Ferguson. With such support, Great Scot sets out to show that James Scotland Symon was one of the most remarkable managers Scotland has ever produced and why he now deserves his rightful, prominent place in the history of Rangers and Scottish football.

Johnny Hubbard was a tricky little winger and a huge Rangers star, one of the last surviving members the great 50s side. Known as 'The Penalty King' in recognition of his record 65 goals from 68 spot kicks, one of his goals was described by Sir Alex Ferguson as A'easily the best I've ever seen!' Aged just 18 he swapped the sunshine of Pretoria for the grey streets of Glasgow, leaving behind the flames of apartheid for a land where another chasm ran deep through society - religious bigotry. Hubbard's story provides an insight into life through a golden era in Rangers' history, and he also recalls his time with Bury when he was almost drawn into the world of match-fixing. When Johnny gave up the game in 1964, he turned to community service and was rewarded for his good work with an Honorary MBE.

In 1948, the Orioles, a Baltimore-based vocal group, recorded "It's Too Soon to Know." Combining the sound of Tin Pan Alley with gospel and blues sensibilities, the Orioles saw their first hit reach #13 on the pop charts, thus introducing the nation to vocal rhythm & blues and paving the way for the most successful groups of the 1950s. In the first scholarly treatment of this influential musical genre, Stuart Goosman chronicles the Orioles' story and that of myriad other black vocal groups in the postwar period. A few, like the Orioles, Cardinals, and Swallows from Baltimore and the Clovers from Washington, D.C., established the popularity of vocal rhythm & blues nationally. Dozens of other well-known groups (and hundreds of unknown ones) across the country cut records and performed until about 1960. Record companies initially marketed this music as rhythm & blues; today, group harmony continues to resonate for some as "doo-wop." Focusing in particular on Baltimore and Washington and drawing significantly from oral histories, Group Harmony details the emergence of vocal rhythm & blues groups from black urban neighborhoods. Group harmony was a source of empowerment for young singers, for it provided them with a means of expression and some aspect of control over their lives where there were limited alternatives. Through group harmony, young black males celebrated and musically confounded, when they could not overcome, complex issues of race, separatism, and assimilation during the postwar period. Group harmony also became a significant resource for the popular music industry. Goosman interviews dozens of performers, deejays, and industry professionals to examine the entrepreneurial promise of midcentury popular music and chronicle the convergence of music, place, and business, including the business of records, radio, promotion, and song writing. Featured in the book's account of the black urban roots of rhythm & blues are the recollections of singers from groups such as the Cardinals, Clovers, Dunbar Four, Four Bars of Rhythm, Five Blue Notes, Hi Fis, Plants, Swallows, and many others, including Jimmy McPhail, a well-known Washington vocalist; Deborah Chessler, the manager and songwriter for the original Orioles; Jesse Stone, the writer and arranger from Atlantic Records; Washington radio personality Jackson Lowe; and seminal black deejays Al ("Big Boy") Jefferson, Maurice ("Hot Rod") Hulbert, and Tex Gathings.

Tommy ‘The Doc’ Docherty was a combative Scotland international wing-half who became a brilliant but erratic manager. His 1960s Chelsea team was a glorious reflection of his colourful personality, and a decade later he reinvented his relegated Manchester United side as a vibrant attacking force. He was also, however, a hostage to his own decision-making, costing Chelsea a shot at the First Division title when he banned eight players for breaking their curfew. Most famously, he was fired by United after FA Cup glory because he’d fallen in love with the physiotherapist’s wife. He was a much-travelled manager, and ‘I’ve had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus’ was among the well-worn one-liners that created the image of ‘The Doc’ as football’s stand-up comedian. But in Tommy Doc, David Tossell looks beyond the wisecracks, interviewing Docherty himself, as well as former players and colleagues, to examine a remarkable career and reveal the personal heartaches behind the laughter.
