A Boy Vanishes-- Chris, just five years old, is as persistent as a bumblebee on clover. He whines until he convinces his mother, Diane, to let him go fishing in the shallow stream near their vacation cabin in the North Carolina mountains. The serene woods around the cabin--shaded by tall trees, cooled by the soft summer breezes, and blessed with the magic music of birds--seems to hold no threat, yet Chris vanishes without a trace. A Mother Taps Her Strength-- Numbed by her loss, Diane begins a long and arduous search for her son. Adrift in a sea of sadness, she taps the strength of a mother's love to stay on course. 
A Detective Becomes Obsessed-- Steve Williams, a rugged detective with a tender core, toughened by calluses of disappointment, is nearing the end of a frustrating career. He wants to restore Diane's family, to have this success story to tell his grandchildren, to be a hero at last. After years of fruitless leads, Williams traces a trail of clues to a criminal network that imports stolen Hispanic children into the United States. 
A Businessman Goes Bad-- Buck Stanley, an underhanded wealthy Southerner with a boyish face and a self-effacing country bumpkin charm, has acquired his position in life through no effort of his own. His family's aircraft parts business, lucrative and well organized, gives him a title, but no job. Hard-drinking and bored, Buck enrolls in the child-smuggling cartel. 
In Threat of a Stranger, a mother tells the story of the search for her lost son, her jumble of emotions as she faces sorrow and guilt, emptiness and pain. As connections weave among the wicked underworld characters, the tale of an injured family, their trials and joy, parallels the mystery.

Amos Wright unveils exhaustive research following two extended Scottish clans as they made their way across the ocean to the American frontier. Once they arrived, the two families made an impact on the colonials, the British, the French, the Spanish, and the American Indians. Some of the Scots were ambitious traders, some were representatives for the Indians, some were warriors, and one ended up as a chief. This annotated history delves into the harsh and often violent lives of Scottish traders living on the frontier of colonial America.

James Barfoot’s first collection of poetry, carefully honed and selected from his life’s body of work, reveals a fresh perspective on women, sexuality, and divinity. In superbly crafted verse, he explores multiple facets of relationships, sex, the universe, and, of course, God. This volume reveals the author’s belief that each time a woman is about to be understood, she offers a new glimpse of her self, another layer of limitless profundity. These poems, many of which are deliciously explicit, reveal the highly principled reverence which underlies Barfoot’s central themes.

Moonshine Memories

Signed and numbered limited edition, leatherette bound with photographs. When Tom Allison became a U.S. revenue agent in 1955 in Anniston, Alabama, he was issued a .38-caliber revolver, a badge, a box of ammunition, and a pair of handcuffs. He had to supply his own holster and a pair of lightweight boots for chasing fleeing suspects through the woods and fields and across the branches of mostly rural counties. He was later transferred to the Montgomery office, where he continued his career of enforcing the laws against illegal whiskey stills. For three decades, Allison and his fellow officers located and staked out stills, caught the "violators" when they could, and broke up their operations. Along the way he saw and heard it all, and his stories of his experiences are as potent as the shine he worked to eliminate. Here are the first-person stories of lawmen, informants, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and, of course, the shiners themselves. Allison's Moonshine Memories is part memoir, part history, part folklore, and thoroughly entertaining.
