In Houses, his first poetry collection, Homer Starkey explores past trauma, sudden loss, self-isolation, and the spirit's ultimate rejuvenation. At times pithy and playful, other times a stream of somber consciousness, these collected poems interlace humor and sorrow to reflect the beautiful struggle of life.

This eagerly awaited sequel to Dear Carrie, Letters From the Eastern Sierra 1878-1899 is Kathleen Haun's second work of historical fiction, set in the wild beauty of the Eastern Sierra. The saga of the Eastman and Perry families continues in a memoir written by Whitney Eastman in 1940 to reveal the long-hidden events occurring in her life between 1900 and 1908. Raised by doting parents and a loving community, Whitney marries and moves north to Bridgeport expecting an equally happy life on a cattle ranch. But she soon discovers that the cloistered security of her childhood was poor preparation for dealing with stunning revelations about her new family, devastating loss, and betrayals that challenge Whitney and those she loves as they weather the passing storms in their lives.

Wolfe Studies: Essays and Critical Reviews is written to start verbal fistfights and maybe settle a few.  It is an uncompromising, no-holds-barred critical look at various portrayals of and approaches to Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin, and company, from films of the 1930s to television in the twenty-first century, and more.  Based on dedicated research into the attitudes, opinions, and statements of actors, authors, directors, critics, readers, writers, and viewers, Wolfe Studies undertakes a clear-eyed observation behind the curtain at what, why, and how these characters are presented.  You might even come to want to take a verbal swing at the author yourself.  You’ll like it.  Or hate it.  Or both.  It is a must-read for the Nero Wolfe devotee.  “In an ever more homogenized world, both real and fictional, Wolfe and Goodwin are not just different from each other; they remain exceptional from everything else.”
