From an eyewitness account of the December, 1941, bombing of Pearl Harbor, to a child s account of an actual sighting of Santa Claus streaking across the night sky, to a desperate commercial flight on Christmas Day a flight to avoid suicide to the appearance of an angel, a flesh-and-blood angel, Christmas is a Season! 2008 has it all.In editing Christmas is a Season! 2008, I learned from the writers that the holidays are emotionally charged, and everyone has a Christmas story. Some seasons arrive with merriment, peace, joy, and good tidings toward all mankind. Other years, Christmas Day barrels down with the weight of family and individual loss, empty pocketbooks, depleted checking accounts, anxiety, depression, and a wish to retreat. The short stories and personal essays in Christmas is a Season! 2008 explore every square mile of the Christmas terrain in beautifully crafted prose. Enjoy! --Linda Busby Parker, Editor

A Tale of Three Women

Editura: EXCALIBUR PR INC

Anul aparitiei: 2020

A Tale of Three Women possesses a magical quality-fable-like, yet grounded in reality, set in the past, yet contemporary, farfetched, yet possible. Kathleen Thompson, raised as a sharecropper's daughter in west Alabama, brings to life poor, rural Alabama folk who develop an interest in the arts and move beyond their limited boundaries, but maintain the ability to return to their roots with a full understanding of who they are. Kathleen is both an award-winning poet and a prose writer. In A Tale of Three Women, she recreates a town long gone, and digs up dialects of rural Alabamians whose lives and hopes are shaped and muddled by a simple coincidence. Her sense of humor, however, remains front and center. Enjoy this short visit to Brownville, Alabama. Meet the people, lament the sorrow, but feel free to laugh out loud.

Anul aparitiei: 2021

A retelling of Arthurian myth from World Fantasy Award-winner Lavie Tidhar, By Force Alone . Everyone thinks they know the story of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. The fact is they don't know sh*t. Arthur? An over-promoted gangster. Merlin? An eldritch parasite. Excalibur? A shady deal with a watery arms dealer. Britain? A clogged sewer that Rome abandoned just as soon as it could. A savage and cutting epic fantasy, equally poetic and profane, By Force Alone is a magical adventure and a subversive masterwork.

In 1939, Trans World Airlines, at the instigation of major stockholder Howard Hughes, requested a 40-passenger transcontinental aircraft with a range of 3,500 miles, well beyond the capabilities of the Excalibur design. TWA's requirements led to the L-049 Constellation, designed by Lockheed engineers including Kelly Johnson and Hall Hibbard.Between 1943 and 1958, Lockheed built 856 Constellations in numerous models at its Burbank, California, factory - all with the same distinctive and immediately recognizable triple-tail design and dolphin-shaped fuselage.The Constellation was used as a civil airliner and as a military and civilian air transport, seeing service in the Berlin and the Biafran airlifts.
