THE TREASURE OF THE HAUNTED HACIENDA, THE FIRST PALO ALTO ADVENTURE The books in the Palo Alto adventure series are written in two languages, (not translated but written by the author, B. Palma in both languages) to help the children of two adjacent cultures understand their differences and so that students can read them in the desired language. On the odd pages the story is written in Spanish and on the even ones in English. Haunted Hacienda is a mystery with historic basis in fact and describes children whose families lived tragic periods of upheaval and revolution. Children whose bravery, curiosity and imagination led them to stumble upon the secret of the ancient tragedy that changed their families'' futures and placed both families in their current financial difficulties. Eleven-year-old Juanita Reyes returns to the Mexican countryside to help her sick grandmother and is reunited with Pedro, her cousin''s stepson. They are joined by the son of the nearby hacienda''s owner who dreams of the past generations of his family and the former grandeur of Hacienda Palo Alto. A beautiful Spanish stallion and a tiny colt also figure in the mystery. The massive ruins of the great hacienda overshadow the outbuildings that have been her family''s home for centuries. The lives of the two families had intertwined during generations and the destruction of the hacienda struck both families with equal pain and disaster. The mystery and tragedy of the ancient hacienda attracts the children and leads them to discovering the secret the old walls had held for almost a century.

Three years have passed since that magical year when the young Palo Alto friends found the tunnel under the Hacienda Palo Alto ruins and discovered the ancient Tarascan tomb in the cavern. (Narrated in the first five books of the Palo Alto adventure series. www.paloalto-bilingual-adventures.com.) With the money from the lost treasure and from the gold found at the Santa Fe, NM, ranch, the Hacienda has been rebuilt and the new world-class equestrian center is rapidly becoming known among equestrians throughout the world. The Palma family, ancestral owners of the Hacienda, proudly feel that they have restored the family's importance to the level it had since the times of the earliest Colonial Spanish Viceroys in Mexico. The four friends have separated; Juanita Reyes and Leora Hunter have just finished their first year of High School; Juanita in Morelia, Michoacán and Leora in Virginia. Rafael Palma and Pedro Hernandez are graduating from different High Schools in Mexico City. The horses are thriving and El Dorado, Juanita's favorite, has grown from the tiny foal she found into a magnificent Spanish stallion,

The Olivas Adobe was built in 1842 by Raymundo Olivas as the Main House for his vast San Miguel Ranch in Ventura County, Southern California. Today it is a museum telling the story of the Rancho History of the state and the pioneer Latino Olivas Family that helped to build Ventura as a community. It has long been rumored haunted and over the decades many have seen and reported odd happenings here. The first to be seen a mysterious "Lady-in-Black" who walks the second floor of the house. Over the years others have joined her haunting vigil, a little girl in a white nightdress, a little boy and even a ghostly dog. This collection of sightings dates back many years and includes events that have happened as late as 2023. The author, Richard Senate, believes this is perhaps one of the most haunted sites in all California if not the American West.

Two young brothers solve the mystery of a ghostly light seen at night in a burned down house. And through their efforts, they find a hidden treasure and capture an escaped convict. The Secret of the Haunted House uniquely takes on the challenge of getting young teens (especially boys) interested in reading. What keeps it from reading as dull as an old Hardy Boys mystery with its shallow characters (who could ever remember if Frank or Joe was the blond) is the inclusion of mischievous pranks that the four Bassett children pull on each other. Interspersed between scenes dealing with the mystery of the lights, the capture of an escaped convict, and the recovery of the gems, are passages describing how the two older siblings pick on the younger two, and how the overly intelligent Kenny gets back at them. Besides maintaining the suspense of the mystery, these interludes develop the character of Kenny and his three siblings. Also providing some local color is the character of Mrs. Tsosie, the next door neighbor. She is a traditional Navajo, and her actions and speech patterns provide a background of Navajo culture to the novel. And finally, the torment that the four Bassett kids put their mother through also adds color and humor.

Once in a Blue Moon, fame and fortune actually take a backseat to friendship and love. Jeanne Madison has earned her PhD at 26 and secured funding to find and excavate a treasure-laden 18th century caravel off the Yucatan coast. Between her mentor and a handful of graduate students, years of study, and all the government cooperation a marine archaeologist could want, she'll find the Luna Azul--or Blue Moon--by hook or by crook. When a tight budget forces her to hire Captain Gabriel Avery and his rust-bucket, Fallen Angel, the comely PhD's not sure it won't be the latter. The incorrigible skipper has the swarthy good looks of a Hollywood pirate and pushes every last one of Jeanne's buttons--even some she didn't know she had. His history of brawls, bullion, and well, romantic escapades may well sink the whole expedition. As the race for the Luna Azul treasure with an unscrupulous competitor gets heated, more than the fajitas start to sizzle. Soon Jeanne, the captain, and her crew must take a gigantic leap of faith, one that may salvage more than gold--perhaps even a hardened heart.

Horror is one of the most enduringly popular genres in cinema. The term “horror film” was coined in 1931 between the premiere of Dracula and the release of Frankenstein, but monsters, ghosts, demons, and supernatural and horrific themes have been popular with American audiences since the emergence of novelty kinematographic attractions in the late 1890s. A Place of Darkness illuminates the prehistory of the horror genre by tracing the way horrific elements and stories were portrayed in films prior to the introduction of the term “horror film.” Using a rhetorical approach that examines not only early films but also the promotional materials for them and critical responses to them, Kendall R. Phillips argues that the portrayal of horrific elements was enmeshed in broader social tensions around the emergence of American identity and, in turn, American cinema. He shows how early cinema linked monsters, ghosts, witches, and magicians with Old World superstitions and beliefs, in contrast to an American way of thinking that was pragmatic, reasonable, scientific, and progressive. Throughout the teens and twenties, Phillips finds, supernatural elements were almost always explained away as some hysterical mistake, humorous prank, or nefarious plot. The Great Depression of the 1930s, however, constituted a substantial upheaval in the system of American certainty and opened a space for the reemergence of Old World gothic within American popular discourse in the form of the horror genre, which has terrified and thrilled fans ever since.
