No easy answers. No big international spy secret bank accounts. No superheroes or magic. Just her wits, guts… And a very large gun. Inspired by Korean Noir films, this Lincoln Square edition of K. W. Jeter's originally self published Kim Oh series marks a reediting of the original two books into one complete edition. The series has garnered praise from writers and fans alike, and is the start of a new Lincoln Square imprint dedicated to publishing books we consider worthy of releasing or re-releasing. Training to be a killer was only the first half of the job. Now Kim has to put her life on the line – not just to get revenge on her crooked ex-boss, but to keep from being killed herself before she can take her first shot. Her only help is Cole, the crippled hitman who agrees to show her how to use a gun. And they’re up against not only a crew of murderous security guards – but Kim’s own fears and doubts as well. If she’s going to survive, she’ll have to do things she’s never done before – and become something beyond her wildest imagining. Noted sf, fantasy, and noir author K. W. Jeter takes a new turn in the thriller genre, building on the dark, gritty moods of his previous science fiction and horror novels. Fans of mystery and suspense novels will find a lot to like in the Kim Oh series. It recalls Richard Stark's (Donald Westlake's) Parker novels but with a smart, tough female taking the lead. Kim is cousin to Sara Paretski's V.I. Warshawsky and Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). Sit back, buckle up, get ready for the ride . . .

Places in the Bone is an extraordinary work of literature written with grace, eloquence, and dignity - an important testimony of endurance as well as hope." Marjorie Agosín, author of Poems for Josefina and recipient of the United Nations Leadership Award for Human Rights. "I can't remember the last time I was so captured by a book's spell. Carol Dine brilliantly blends past and present events and emotions so that time becomes a collective experience, not a mere chronology. Although this beautiful memoir is full of sorrow, it is ultimately about the redemptive power of art and language." Stephen McCauley, author of The Object of My Affection and True Enough

The Little Vegan Dessert Cookbook: Vintage Recipes Revised

FINALIST for the 2021 Indie Book Awards “For over three decades, Laura has been baking healthy desserts using vegan ingredients. Her treats are scooped up as soon as they hit the dessert counter at my restaurant because they’re delicious, healthy and guilt-free. Treat yourself to this book and explore the world of vegan baking. You’ll be happy that you did!”—Stephan Germano, CEO of the Pasta Pizza Store and former head chef and restaurateur of the award-winning eatery, the New York Pizza Factory 
Laura Crotty has always had a thing for old cookbooks. For The Little Vegan Dessert Cookbook: Vintage Recipes Revised, she combed through her extensive collection to select the best recipes for cookies, cakes, doughnuts, bars, and breads—and then experimented with healthy ingredients to make them conducive to a plant-based diet. 
The resulting recipes include vegan versions of such classics as Toll House Inn Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate Cake from the 1934 Hershey’s Cookbook, and S’mores from the 1927 Girl Scout’s Handbook. The book also contains plant-based takes on other standards she culled from vintage cookbooks—like Brownies, Blondies, Peanut Butter Cookies, Linzer Tarts, Carrot Cake, Coffee Cake, Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Tea Bread, and Zucchini Bread. Vegan interpretations of the author’s family favorites make an appearance as well—like her grandmother’s light and lemony Genets and her mother-in-law’s Irish Soda Bread. 
With a retro design and sections on Baking Tips (including different egg replacement methods) and Pantry Items that every vegan baker should have, The Little Vegan Dessert Cookbook offers treats that are right for every season and every occasion—from campfires and picnics to birthdays and holidays—all the while reminding us of the tastes that have come to represent our childhood.
