The Baddest Girl
on the Planet
heather frese
Evie Austin, native of Hatteras Island,
North Carolina and baddest girl on
the planet, has not lived her life in a
straight line. There have been several
detours—career snafus, bad romantic
choices, a loved but unplanned child—
not to mention her ill-advised lifelong
obsession with boxer Mike Tyson. Evie
is not plucky, but when life’s changes
smash over her like the rough surf of the
local shoreline, she muddles through—
until that moment of loss and longing
when muddling will no longer suffice.
This is the story of what the baddest
FICTION girl on the planet must find in herself

Rules for Being Dead
kim powers
It’s the late 1960s in McKinney,
Texas. At the downtown theater
and the local drive-in, movies—
James Bond, My Fair Lady, Alfie, and
Dr. Zhivago—feed the dreams and
obsessions of a ten-year-old Clarke
who loves Audrey, Elvis, his fami-
ly, and the handsome boy in the
projector booth. Then Clarke los-
es his beloved mother, and no one
will tell him how she died. No one
will tell HER either. She is floating
above the trees and movie screens
of McKinney, trapped between life
and death, searching for a glimpse
of her final moments on this earth.
The shattering answer haunts Rules
for Being Dead, Kim Powers’ darkly
humorous, incredibly moving novel.

In his New York Times bestselling debut novel, Silas House introduced himself as
an important voice for Appalachia, and indeed, for the entire rural South. In Clay’s
Quilt, now a touchstone for his many fans, House takes us to Free Creek, Kentucky,
where a motherless young man forges his path to adulthood, surrounded by ancient
mountains and his blood relatives and adopted kin: his Aunt Easter tied to her
faith and foreboding nature; his Uncle Paul, the quilter; the wild girls Evangeline
and Alma; and a fiddler whose music calls to Clay’s heart. As he struggles to stitch
up the void created by his mother’s death, Clay pieces together his own life’s quilt,
all masterfully wrought by House.
Blair brings this novel into a beautiful new paperback edition, along with two
other Silas House novels, A Parchment of Leaves and The Coal Tattoo. The three nov-
els, which share a common setting and some characters, are companion
novels. They may be read individually, in any order, but collectively, they form a rich
tableau of life in rural mountain Kentucky in the last century.
In this nationally best-selling novel, A Parchment of Leaves, Silas House produced
an iconic story of 1900s rural mountain Kentucky that remains a favorite of many
of his fans.
On his way to find work in the Redbud Camp, Saul Sullivan encounters a Cher-
okee girl who is said to possess a beauty that brings death to the men who see her.
Saul, however, is irrevocably drawn to Vine the moment he lays eye on her and
believes they are meant to be married, over the objections of her mother and his.
Despite her misgivings, Saul’s mother, Esme, and his brother, Aaron, take to Vine
from the moment she comes to God’s Creek. In fact, Vine realizes from the start
that Aaron’s interest in her is far more than brotherly. When Saul must leave Vine
behind for a year of work, troubling and violent events follow his departure, and
Vine’s spirit and her love are put to the ultimate test.
This novel was the Winner of the Award for Special Achievement from the
Fellowship of Southern Writers and a Finalist for the Southern Book Critics
Circle Prize.
The Coal Tattoo takes place in World War I-era rural Kentucky, where twenty-two-
year-old Easter and Anneth, her teenaged sister, lose their parents young and now
must raise each other. Easter finds her life in the Pentecostal Holiness church and
its music, while Anneth dances and drinks in less-than-holy honky-tonks. Will the
differences in their young lives and in their very natures tear them apart or will the
bond of the sisters prevail? In lucid prose with an ear for the voice of the sisters’
time and place, Silas House brings readers a rich and moving story of coal country.
This novel was named the Appalachian Book of the Year, and was a finalist for
the Southern Book Critics Circle Prize.

Woodsmoke
wayne caldwell
Woodsmoke is a poetry collection that
renders the experience of living out
life in a single, exquisite place—“in
the shadow of the mountain my
father said was mother to us all”—
the Pisgah Forest in the Blue Ridge
Mountains of North Carolina.
Wayne Caldwell, author of the nov-
el Catalooche, brings us the waning
days of Posey Green, who cuts his
own firewood, looks after himself,
and tends to the land where his wife
Birdie and her people are buried.
Posey’s colloquial narrative poetry
is presented as found verse, conjured
from Posey’s internal musings—and
these poems alternate with those of
a new neighbor, a sympathetic fe-
male poet who observes Posey and
POETRY his surroundings and creates a more

The Geography of Jazz
Poems
by lenard d. moore
A poetry collection by internationally acclaimed poet Lenard
D. Moore focusing on jazz music as an experience and an

In The Geography of Jazz, Moore celebrates jazz music and
jazz musicians. Some of the poems address specific events.
Others honor individual artists. Many do both. While the
poems may not initially signal the rhythms of jazz in their
presentation on the page, they convey jazz rhythms through
Moore’s deft handling of the poetic line and his use of

Bullets and Bandages
The Aid Stations and Field Hospitals at Gettysburg
james gindlesperger
At Gettysburg, PA, during three days of July 1863, 160,000 men fought one of the
most fierce and storied battles of the US Civil War. Nearly one in three of those
men ended up a casualty of that battle, and when the two armies departed a few
days later, 21,000 wounded remained. This book is the story of how those soldiers
were cared for in a town of 2,500 people. Historian and author of several other
guides to Gettysburg, James Gindlesperger provides a context for the medical and
organizational constraints of the era and then provides details about the aid sta-
tions and field hospitals created in the aftermath of the battle. Filled with histori-
cal and contemporary photos, as well as stories about the soldiers and their healers,
this book is a detailed guide for visitors to the site as well as others interested in
American Civil War history.
james gindlesperger is the author of several books about the Civil War: Escape
from Libby Prison and Fire on the Water. He and his wife also coauthored So You
Think You Know Gettysburg? and So You Think You Know Antietam?, which were
both honored as Foreword Reviews’ Book of the Year finalists in the travel category.
They live in Johnstown, PA.

10Holding On To Nothing
elizabeth chiles shelburne
Lucy Kilgore has her bags packed for her escape from her
rural Tennessee upbringing, but a drunken mistake forever
tethers her to the town and one of its least-admired residents,
Jeptha Taylor, who becomes the father of her child. Together,
these two young people work to form a family, though neither
has any idea how to accomplish that, and the odds are against
them in a place with little to offer other than bluegrass music,
tobacco fields, and a Walmart full of beer and firearms for the
hunting season. Their path is harrowing, but Lucy and Jeptha
are characters to love, and readers will root for their success in
a novel so riveting that no one will want to turn out the light
FICTION until they know whether this family will survive.
