Oliver also learns how powerful the Lorne family really is, even with Kafka gone. They seem to have a hand in everything, as well as the keys to the kingdom with just a flash of the family crest. Oliver and Desiree make a new friend, Darius Fitz, who introduces them to the writings of a mysterious blogger, Commodore Chaos. This blogger claims Lorne loyalists are snatching inter-plane travelers and delivering them to the Lorne run SUSY Asylum for the Criminally Insane. When there is another sudden disappearance, Oliver begins to take the conspiracy blogger’s warnings more seriously and sets out to find the mythical asylum himself. Seek and ye shall find. But Oliver is not ready for the horrors that await him there. Oliver’s belief in himself is waning. Desiree will not always be by his side. Mr. Gordon will not always come to his aid. Oliver finds himself alone, forced to confront his biggest fears, fight his inner demons, and face the very cold reality that no one is coming to save him. Welcome to SUSY Asylum.

BUILDERS OF OHIO: BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

Van Tine and Pierces "Builders of Ohio is composed of twenty-four essays that use biography to explore Ohio's history. Collectively, they provide a historical overview of the state's development from George Croghan's search for fame and fortune on the seventeenth-century frontier through Dave Thomas's more recent creation of a fast-food empire. Each chapter also addresses important events and transformations in the state's history such as: European settlement; Native American resistance; the creation of territorial and state governments; the development of the state's educational and economic institutions; the disruption created by the Civil War; the struggle of African Americans and women to participate in Ohio's public life; efforts to ameliorate the pernicious effects of industrialization; the negotiation of the state's role in a nation increasingly dominated by the federal government; or the ramifications of de-industrialization and rise of a service economy.

 Historians have typically thought of Populism as a radical agrarian movement. In this much-needed corrective, Pierce argues that, in Ohio, Populism was an urban, not rural, movement and that industrial workers and trade unionists formed the core of the People’s (or Populist) party. Through case studies of Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus, Pierce examines the efforts of Ohio unions—especially the United Mine Workers —to protect the rights of workers, curb the abuses of corporations, and reform the state’s and nation’s government through an alliance with the People’s party.Striking with the Ballot focuses on the Crisis of the 1890s: when the Panic of 1893, the Pullman strike and boycott, the arrest of Debs, Coxey’s march, and the failure of the nationwide coal strike threw the country into disarray. Pierce demonstrates that trade unionists in Ohio, and throughout the Industrial Midwest, responded by mobilizing politically under the banner of the People’s party. Support for the People’s party was so strong among the nation’s trade unionists that Ohio’s leading Populist, John McBride, won the presidency of the American Federation of Labor in 1894. Ohio labor’s reform agenda survived the subsequent collapse of the People’s party and informed labor’s political activity through the Progressive era. Pierce offers a provocative new narrative for those interested in labor history, Populism, Progressivism, and Ohio history.

When your eyes have been opened, it's hard to close them again... Maeve tried to escape and forget all this magic stuff, but when she finds a seam opened in her apartment, she comes to realize that this is her new reality. Magic exists. And she so needs to move. There's no use running, and she desperately needs answers after the bombshell dropped on her in the Crystal Crypt. Maeve has unfinished business at Spellcrest Academy, but this time will be even harder than the last. Her needle is gone--her powers, nonexistent. In essence, she's gone from one of the most powerful new students to the absolute weakest. And it's important for her to keep up with the rest of her class in order to remain enrolled--and she needs to remain enrolled in order to find the answers she seeks. This sure as hell isn't going to be easy. Maeve's journey continues in the breathtaking second book of the Spellcrest Academy series.

Crestfallen (Spellcrest Academy)

Independently published

Keep your enemies close... Maeve Rhodes is not your typical Good Samaritan. However, when she stumbles upon a fallen, elderly woman, she stops and tries to do the right thing. Little does she know that this chance encounter will forever change the direction of her life. Marked with a new tattoo emblazoned across her chest and struggling to control a whole host of new powers, Maeve finds her life spiraling out of control. That is, until one more chance encounter offers an explanation... and a privileged opportunity to attend Spellcrest Academy. Paired with a shy elf and a moody Nephilim, Maeve quickly takes to her new home at the premier magical institution, not to mention the dreamy senior advisor whom, for some idiotic reason, she can't stop thinking about. Love at first sight is sappy sh--crap for fairy tales, not real life. However, she can't deny the instant connection. As the school year progresses, Maeve discovers her invitation to the academy might not have been so innocent after all. Sinister forces want her unique abilities and are willing to kill for them. Maeve doesn't just need to survive her classes, she must survive the plots against her, a decades-old magical war, and following her own capricious heart. She's never been averse to diving into danger. But this time, she might be in over her head. If you're a fan of Bella Forrest or Leia Stone, then this will be one hell of a ride you won't want to miss. Buy now! *Beware of spoilers in the reviews below without spoiler alerts*
