MOM, WAS THERE COLOR WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG? by Susan Steadle-Phillips

You're invited to snoop into a young girl's diary, written back in 1967 when she was a 14 year old freshman in the high school of a fictional southwestern mining town. You're sure to agonize and empathise with this charming character as she describes the pain of her mother's untimely and unexpected death, the echoing lonliness of a now empty house, the shock and hurt of her father's hasty return to dating, the frustration and discomfort of becoming the inexperienced caretaker of her truncated family, the disappointment and embarassment of bailing her drunk father out of jail, and the wonder and confusion of her introduction to the world of boys.

Susan Steadle-Phillips was raised in the copper mining community of Globe-Miami in south central Arizona. She insists that any resemblance the reader might imagine they see to actual events, locales, organizations or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. She suggests that, if anyone sees themselves in her characters, they receive therapy to seek the source of their discomfort......

THE FOX AND THE WHIRLWIND: General George Crook & Geronimo

By Peter Aleshire

This captivating dual biography chronicles the lives and battles of two of America’s most famous warriors: the legendary Apache shaman, Geronimo, and the nation’s most successful Indian fighter, General George Crook. Artfully constructed from these warriors' own words, as well as newspaper accounts and the firsthand recollections of those who fought with - and against - them, here is a compelling and uniquely evenhanded account of the intriguing men at the center of one of American history's most definitive, longest-running struggles - the infamous Apache Wars. Born to defend their respective cultures and destined to destroy each other in the process, the vengeful, spiritually powerful Indian warrior and the remorseless, consummate professional officer are inextricably bound to each other in the fabric of our country and in the hearts of their people.

THE LAST COMANCHE CHIEF: The Life & Times of Quanah Parker

In 1875, Quanah Parker surrendered his people to the U.S. Army at Fort Sill, Okla.; thereafter, he would lead them on the "white man's road." Son of a Comanche chief and a white woman, he had led war parties through north Texas for 12 years. Neeley, a freelance writer, traces his life from youth to warrior chief to respected cattleman. He describes the last wars between the Comanches and settlers, the peyote ritual and pressures on Native Americans to conform to white society. Parker was a realist; when he saw that opening the reservation to settlement was inevitable, he yielded. Neeley gives a detailed account for the legal battles that culminated in the Oklahoma land rush. This is a fine portrait of the legendary chief and an illuminating glimpse into the history of the American West.

URGES by Christopher Hawley Martin

URGES: A Chronicle of Serial Killer Larry Hall chronicles the life of Larry DeWayne Hall who, in 1994, confessed to killing four women and young girls - yet Hall has never been convicted of murder. Police in some jurisdictions believe Hall may have killed as many as 40 women and young girls in up to a dozen states. How was this mild-mannered janitor able to kill with impunity for years? What psychopathy drove Larry Hall to sadistic sexual murder? How was Hall able to lure so many women into his clutches? Why did he vary his M.O.? What happened to the girls who are still missing? Could Hall be innocent, as he now maintains? A chilling tale of serial murder! Includes an extensive photo section.

Author Christopher Hawley Martin was born in Wabash, Indiana. Martin is an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church, an accomplished musician, a songwriter and poet.
