Acclaimed novelist Short here turns his hand toward the biography of a colorful Southern lawyer who refuses to fit into any convenient pigeonholes. Short's subject, a former Alabama assistant attorney general who is now one of the South's prominent plaintiff's attorneys, gained a reputation for taking unpopular and often controversial cases. This authorized bio tracks McPhillip's career from collegiate All-American heavyweight wrestler to equally dogged watchdog of the public trust.

In her debut collection, Claire T. Feild offers narrative poems about women living in the Mississippi Delta in the 1950s and the early 1960s. Many of the poems speak of proprieties revered by these women during a time of placidity that eventually sparked radical change. A darker meaning pervades these poems, for black-white relationships are explored by a writer whose formative years were spent collecting images from the kudzu-covered hills along Highway 49, the sultry cotton fields of the Yazoo Delta, and locales such as Henick’s Auto Supply and Goose Egg Park.

Dennis Gimmel’s first novel, Dog Lot, is an action-packed thriller set in Myrtle Beach. Jake Brown, a retired Postal worker and now a licensed part-time detective, spends most of his days fishing and playing golf, until he is hired by Liz Alton, a wealthy woman who has been the target of strange, ominous pranks. A pair of women’s underwear is left on her doorstep. She finds binoculars in her mailbox, and, later, a knife on the ground by her front door. Who is doing this to her, and why? The events all appear to be innocent and unrelated, until she turns up missing. 
The light-hearted Jake Brown flies into low gear as he tries to get to the bottom of her mysterious disappearance. The aging, rookie detective begins his search in all the wrong places. 
Meanwhile, a desperate game unfolds, as the kidnappers demand ransom. The taunting ransom letters are whimsical and confusing, as Brown and the police investigators search frantically for any sign of the missing woman. The search will take Brown from Wilmington to Savannah, from gated suburban communities to the desolate swamps north of Georgetown. A fast-paced, first-rate thriller, Dog Lot is a panic-filled caper full of humor and regret.

Why did the kings of college football fall from their legendary status? Written by a former Alabama walk-on, Crimson Slide - with interviews from former Alabama coaches, captains, and personalities (some of whom refused to speak to anyone else) - explores Alabama's recent decline and suggests solutions. You've heard the rumors, endured speculation and desired the truth about where Alabama football has been and where it's going. There is a long story to be told. Which SEC rival is most responsible for Alabama's struggles? What really happened to Gene Stallings? Why did Mike DuBose, a qualified and capable coach, fail? Why did Dennis Franchione, the supposed savior, flee Tuscaloosa for College Station? Why did Mike Price get fired before coaching a single game? What must Mike Shula do to restore Alabama's reputation and restore that Alabama swagger? As an inside-narrative, Crimson Slide transcends the sports book genre and provides a blueprint of how a proud program fell, but can rise again.
