Book Description
In the third book of this sci-fi saga, a new alien species comes to earth and when humans try to help, the future of the planet hangs in the balance. The struggle for survival and control takes a new turn in this third book in the Clash of the Aliens series. The previous novel, Stranger, left the human race devastated by an apocalypse of their own making. They are picking up the pieces of their civilization and preparing for an outside threat—the alien race of Qu’uda. As Blue Gem unfolds, the humans do not know that a third alien species, the Hoo-Lii, are on their way to Earth. The strange, exotic Hoo-Lii Hive-Mother, Suh-Joh, seeks a new world because the ruling priest class has sentenced her to death. She sends her counselor to investigate Earth as a new home. When the Hoo-Lii ship arrives, it suffers major damage at the hands of the Qu’uda. The humans set out to help the Hoo-Lii with a gift of water. As the old saying goes, “No good deed goes unpunished.” This benevolent gesture may have inadvertently sold out the human race. Will this gift of water seal Earth’s fate?

Book Description
I have spoken before about poetry having a life of its own, and I feel I should elaborate on this statement. I can wake with the remnants of subconscious words, and I have taken to recording them before I rise. The day fades that dreamlike message until I get the opportunity to return to that recording and write. I cannot count how many thoughts, therefore poems, have been lost before I adopted this practice. I would recommend that all writers who experience fleeting thoughts in a similar manner should do as I do. Often, devoid of ideas, staring at a blank page, I suddenly write a line that came out of the ether, and it grows legs until it has the structure of a new poem. I believe poetry is driven by the collective emotions of the past, present, and future and, as such, is not the exclusive property of just my mind or even just my world. Kevin Robinson

Book Description
Westburgh Pennsylvania, a small, quiet town on the outskirts of Wilkes-Barre. A town with a terrifying history that has long been forgotten. When a small prop plane crashes in the woods outside of town, a man running from his own past is drawn into a history he has no knowledge of. He is told to look for others that can help him, and is given a cryptic message: 'What's coming through is alive' What does it mean? A single phrase, linking three unlikely individuals against something they don't understand. A horror is reawakening, and will bring with it a darkness to the town no one can prepare for. Three people, chosen to finish something that began nearly a century before. Three people, formed by a shared past and an allegiance to stop the terror. They are the only hope the town has.

Book Description
This volume examines the blending of fact and fiction in a series of cultural artefacts by post-dictatorship writers and artists in Argentina, many of them children of disappeared or persecuted parents. Jordana Blejmar argues that these works, which emerged after the turn of the millennium, pay testament to a new cultural formation of memory characterised by the use of autofiction and playful aesthetics. She focuses on a range of practitioners, including Laura Alcoba, Lola Arias, Félix Bruzzone, Albertina Carri, María Giuffra, Victoria Grigera Dupuy, Mariana Eva Perez, Lucila Quieto, and Ernesto Semán, who look towards each other's works across boundaries of genre and register as part of the way they address the legacies of the 1976-1983 dictatorship. Approaching these works not as second-hand or adoptive memories but as memories in their own right, Blejmar invites us to recognise the subversive power of self-figuration, play and humour when dealing with trauma.

Book Description
When polling data showed that an overwhelming 81% of white evangelicals had voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, commentators across the political spectrum were left aghast. Even for a community that had been tracking further and further right for decades, this support seemed decidedly out of step. How, after all, could an amoral, twice-divorced businessman from New York garner such devoted admiration from the most vociferous of "values voters?" That this same group had, not a century earlier, rallied national support for such progressive causes as a federal minimum wage, child labor laws, and civil rights made the Trump shift even harder to square. In The End of Empathy, John W. Compton presents a nuanced portrait of the changing values of evangelical voters over the course of the last century. To explain the rise of white Protestant social concern in the latter part of the nineteenth century and its sudden demise at the end of the twentieth, Compton argues that religious conviction, by itself, is rarely sufficient to motivate empathetic political behavior. When believers do act empathetically--championing reforms that transfer resources or political influence to less privileged groups within society, for example--it is typically because strong religious institutions have compelled them to do so. Citizens throughout the previous century had sought membership in churches as a means of ensuring upward mobility, but a deterioration of mainline Protestant authority that started in the 1960s led large groups of white suburbanites to shift away from the mainline Protestant churches. There to pick up the slack were larger evangelical congregations with conservative leaders who discouraged attempts by the government to promote a more equitable distribution of wealth and political authority. That shift, Compton argues, explains the larger revolution in white Protestantism that brought us to this political moment.
