Can someone from the future who is used to all the modern conveniences and luxuries live in the past when the frontier of Tennessee was wild and untamed? This is the question that Sara Mathews and Nathan Chambers must answer when Sara wanders into an old dusty attic in an abandoned house and the unimaginable happens.

Book Description
Don’t fret! The music historian and guitar sleuth brings you more astounding stories of rare guitar finds and the legends who owned them. Do you dream of finding a 1954 Stratocaster or 1952 Gibson Les Paul online, at a garage sale, or in the local penny saver? How about virtually rubbing elbows with one of your favorite rock legends? Following up his first-of-its-kind The Strat in the Attic, musician, journalist, and “guitarchaeologist” Deke Dickerson shares the stories behind dozens of more astounding finds including: A rarer-than-hens-teeth 1966 Hallmark Swept-Wing that originally belonged to Robbie Krieger of the Doors, stashed away in an attic in Alaska for forty years! A crazy-valuable 1958 Gibson Flying V belonging to a Chicago bluesman—who, it turns out, also happens to have an equally rare 1958 Gibson Explorer! An out-of-the-blue, a “to whom it may concern” email leads the author to a trailer park in Salem, Oregon, where one of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys’ original 1940s Epiphone Emperor archtops is waiting to be purchased for a song! Luthier R.C. Allen relates the tales of buying Nat “King” Cole Trio guitarist Oscar Moore’s Stromberg Master 400 archtop and of being gifted a 1953 Standel amp from Merle Travis! Buddy Merrill, the amazingly talented guitarist from the Lawrence Welk show, gives his 1970 Micro-Frets Huntington to the author, but only if he “promises to PRACTICE.” Photos of the guitars and other exciting memorabilia round out a package that no vintage-guitar aficionado will want to be without! “The man knows how to tell a great story.” —Jonathan Kellerman, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

Book Description
Called "a feminist classic" by Judith Shulevitz in the New York Times Book Review, this pathbreaking book of literary criticism is now reissued with a new introduction by Lisa Appignanesi that speaks to how The Madwoman in the Attic set the groundwork for subsequent generations of scholars writing about women writers, and why the book still feels fresh some four decades later. "Gilbert and Gubar have written a pivotal book, one of those after which we will never think the same again."--Carolyn G. Heilbrun, Washington Post Book World

Book Description
When I thought about my death, which I’d actually done because my mom had died just a few years before, I’d assumed I’d go out the normal way- I’d overeat until I was morbidly obese and die of a heart attack in my sixties, like every other respectable red-blooded American. If you’d told me that a killer clown was going to stab me to death, I might have even believed that. What actually occurred was not my death, although it might as well be, and I don’t even know why I’m writing all of this down, except that the end of the world is a monumental experience, and it should be documented for posterity. Also, I feel like my nephew might want to know. That’s really where this all began. A hot chick dropped my nephew, Sawyer, off at my dorm room and told me to get the boy to his father, which is my brother. Confused? So was I because my brother is married, and has been for like a decade, making this kid… well, it’s complicated. I’m dealing with classy people, here. So I go to Florida and a major solar storm hits and that should have been my biggest worry, but it wasn’t, and this is my story. It’s the story of how I wished a killer clown had been the reality, not just a wishful fantasy. Now we’re trying to survive, and all I can think is that dying now, after I just survived the end, would be extremely pathetic.

Book Description
The story Sweden’s Child is a semibiographical book of the life of my great-grandmother Inga Ohlsdotter. The family character’s, period, plot, story, town, farm names, and psychic abilities are all true. What I have added are local lore, historical references, and other characters, which increase the interest in the story. Because my mother was raised by her grandmother Inga, these stories have been passed down through generations. Sweden’s Child: Journey to America will be the same—a true story with people, historical happenings, psychic abilities, and characters that live under duress but still complete their journey as people would have done in a steamship sailing across the Atlantic in 1891
