Inspired by true events and based on the recorded history of one southern family's struggles and endurance in the Civil War. "No one's going to take Quesinberry land." With those words eighteen year old Oliver Quesinberry joins the Civil War. Leaving his young wife Mahala, his infant son, and family farm to do what he believes is his duty to preserve their land from Northern aggressors. A powerful story of how war forces a boy, a family and a country to question long held beliefs and endure tremendous loss. At the family home, his parents Abigail and Andrew struggle to keep the farm going, caring for five young children, as their grown sons all enlist. Abigail, a strong resourceful woman, the best horsewoman in the area, is determined not to let the war overwhelm her, or her family. When Andrew joins the war effort in the last year, Abigail is left alone to hold the family together. Proving her toughness of spirit and tenacity, she overcomes heartbreak and fear to emerge as the backbone of the family. In September of 1861, at the age of eighteen, Oliver Quesinberry follows his older brothers Isaac and Asa into the Civil War. Volunteering against the wishes of his wife and his parents, he leaves the farm near Hillsville, Virginia that has been in the family for over a hundred years. Confident the war will over within months, he departs with the conviction the Southern Cause is just and the war will be short-lived. Oliver is assigned the position of drummer for 29th Virginia regiment. As the war continues he comes under the command of General James Longstreet, whom General Lee called his "Old War Horse" and later General George Pickett. He is there for the infamous assault by Confederate troops at the center of the Union's lines at Gettysburg, known as "Pickett's Charge." We follow Oliver's regiment from it's inception, to the retreat at Gettysburg, to Cold Harbor and Petersburg, as he becomes disillusioned and struggles to come to terms with the reality and brutality of the war. A family saga which takes the Quesinberry family through the beginning of the Civil War in 1861 to it's conclusion with Lee's surrender at Appomattox in 1865.

FBI agents, Philip Anderson and Carolina Valadez, are part of a covert searching for the legendary Chalice of Blood, but they aren't prepared for the horrors and challenges. For 2000 years the rumors about a cup of Jesus Christ's blood has fascinated historians. Now in 2011, the Roman Catholic Church wants that cup found. However, the cursed Fourth Cohort having the chalice has other ideas and murderously fights to keep the cup. Their search plunges them through three countries while uncovering one challenge after another. As the truth about Christ's blood rises to the surface, the ruthless clan responsible for the chalice of blood increases their murderous events. Herman Lloyd Bruebaker lives in Riverside, California where he continues to write novels. His nearly 10 year service with the United States Navy, during the Vietnam era, provides background for several of his books. His novels plotted with either science fiction or supernatural themes have earned him a wide readership. TABLE OF DARKNESS, scheduled for release in 2011, will again take his readers into a science fiction realm.

Cipriano Algor, an ageing potter, lives with his daughter and her husband in the shadow of the Centre, a nebulous, constantly expanding conglomerate that provides his livelihood – until it decrees that it is no longer interested in his humble wares. Together with his daughter, they craft a new line of small ceramic figurines and, to their bafflement, the Centre orders vast quantities. But once the figures are complete, the Centre recants: there is no market for them. Resigned to idleness Cipriano moves into the soulless megaplex, until late one night he comes across a horrifying secret in the bowels of the artificial city.

The story of Tibet’s notorious master of Buddhist sorcery—translated for the first time into English An essential sacred text of Tibetan Buddhism, The All-Pervading Melodious Drumbeat tells the wondrous story of Ra Lotsawa Dorjé Drak. Though he was canonized as a saint and a fully enlightened buddha, the eleventh-century Ra Lotsawa’s life story presents a darker path than those taken by Siddhartha Gautama and Milarepa. Viewed by some as a murderous villain and by others as a liberator of human suffering, Ra Lotsawa used his formidable power and magical abilities to defeat his rivals, accumulate wealth, and amass a devoted following. His life offers a rare view into the often overlooked roles of magic and sorcery in the Buddhist tradition. Despite this sinister legacy, his fame also rests on an illustrious career as a translator of Buddhist scriptures, through which he helped spark a renaissance of Buddhism in Tibet. This spirited new translation gives readers in English their first opportunity to encounter one of the most colorful and memorable figures in Tibetan Buddhist history. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

It's time you realised that your show is a thing of the past. It's dead. A fragment of history. This is the future and I need you to come on board. Their choice? To die onstage - or off it. Beautiful and bonkers - it's the clown show about totalitarianism you never knew you needed. Rhum + Clay's Project Dictator was informed and inspired by conversations with international artists living under authoritarian regimes. It returned for a UK tour after critically-acclaimed runs at New Diorama Theatre in April 2022, and at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2022. Originally commissioned by New Diorama Theatre for its 10th Anniversary Season, Project Dictator was also supported using public funding from Arts Council England. This edition was published to coincide with the UK tour starting in September 2023.

ORIENTA...She is the Dance By: Patricia Badia-Johnson Commentary on Orienta’s Writings: “…She thus breaks the compact silence of working-class women who hardly had the time and energy to write about their life when they had to support their families. Interestingly though, Orienta only writes a brief autobiography, but concentrates the effort of making sense of her life into writing a novel. The novel is a rare female coming-of-age story, the distilled product of facts and imagination, where second-generation struggles to fit between two worlds are codified and finally solved. Her personal ambivalence is developed not only in terms of ethnicity, but also in terms of a special vocation, and job-Orienta was first of all a dancer. As several other immigrants, or children of immigrants, Orienta felt the need to write down her life, pinning it down and offering it to her family as point of stability. As a woman, her writing finds a deeper raison d’etre that is clarified by Helen Barolini in her introduction to The Dream Book, the first anthology of Italian American women’s writing: Orienta is one of those women “who with rare exceptions had never before been authorized either by their external world nor by their internal one to be authors of themselves or of the word.” Ilaria Serra Florida Atlantic University Italian Americana Cultural and Historical Review
