Book Description
Union occupation of Natchez, Mississippi, included the contraband camp called The Corral, near the Devil's Punch Bowl on the Mississippi River. Stelcie Dundee visits there to see Beulah, TaSondryana, and Amarichi. After unearthing hidden valuables and personal items from buried wooden boxes, Stelcie takes Beulah some mysterious items including a juju amulet, a linen pouch, and yellowed folded paper holding baby teeth, a lock of black hair, and a piece of red string. Written on the inside of the paper were Cain, Gad, David, and Solomon. Stelcie encounters Gay Anne at St. Mary's Chapel. Near Richmond, Sawyer Dundee as a member of Mosby's Rangers participates in the military engagements of the Calico Raid, Berryville, Brown's Crossing, and Mosby's brief capture near Rector's Cross Roads. Sawyer slowly regains his memory. Solomon Witcher travels to St. Albans, Vermont, for the Confederate raid to rob banks and flee into Canada but meets unexpected danger. Egiap, in the Old Capitol Prison, confronts another prison inmate named Sibby to save a friend. Egiap is transferred to Fort Delaware Prison, where she works in the infirmary as she did in the Old Capitol Prison in Washington, D. C. Solomon at his new assignment at the CSA Treasury Department in Richmond is invited to a Christmas "starvation party" by a young woman called Coco. Back in Natchez, Stelcie learns that Beulah is not at The Corral and does not know where Beulah is. Stelcie sees the horrible conditions at The Corral. In early 1865 Stelcie greets the county tax collector at the Dundee homestead. Zethro, placed on a labor gang works in Natchez, Grand Gulf, and Vicksburg. He, seeking to reunite with TaSondryana, escapes and travels to Natchez. Before Zethro leaves Vicksburg, he has what seems supernatural experiences at Bobb House (today McRaven House). South of Vicksburg, Zethro falls in with Abdoulaye, who travels with him for a time. Abdoulaye relates his story of surviving the trans-Sahara slave trade. Sawyer reaches his new assignment of personal bodyguard to Jefferson Davis in Richmond. There he sees a performance of the Dr. Andekian Onesiphoros Traveling Show. The traveling show in its attempt to reach a town in southern Georgian journeys across the swath of destruction and desolation delivered by Sherman's March to the Sea. Sawyer and Solomon meet in Richmond; and when the Confederate government is forced to evacuate Richmond, remain steadfastly loyal to the cause.

Book Description
Stelcie Dundee and Zethro face dark times. Interlopers terrorize Stelcie and Zethro. A dream and a piece of red string prompt digging on the Dundee property to seek something Beulah buried. Egiap travels to Memphis where she eventually meets Beulah at a contraband camp and reunites with TaSondryana and Amarichi. In Georgia, the Dr. Andekian Onesiphoros Traveling Show encounters renegades on the road. Sawyer Dundee and Solomon Witcher, both in the Confederate escape expedition from Richmond, part as Sawyer continues with the Jefferson Davis column and Solomon takes command of a single treasury wagon. Sawyer, when the Davis column camps near Irwinville, Georgia, locates himself on the perimeter of the camp for the night. Sawyer is incapacitated during the time of President Davis' capture. Dr. A. O.'s Traveling Show, moving through Georgia, continues to see the destruction perpetrated by the Union armies but meets Southerners who demonstrate resilience and compassion for each other. At one campsite for the traveling show, Percival finds remnants of burned wagons and an almost-dead Sawyer. The traveling show puts on a performance in a small settlement and is interrupted by a Union calvary patrol. Sawyer takes over leadership of the traveling show. The traveling show meets former members of the Nancy Harts, an all-female militia. Sawyer eventually heads for Natchez. Solomon and his crew with their single wagon take an alternate way to the Gulf Coast to meet with other Confederates. Having a premonition, Solomon expresses his concern to his men and gives each man thirteen Mexican silver coins as payment for their service to the Confederacy. Severe storms cover the area. Solomon's crew and wagon are attacked during the stormy weather by renegades. At a ford for a small river Solomon and his crew meet more marauders during the storm and lose the wagon. Solomon is saved and given new hope by Red Cloud Woman and then heads for New Orleans. In Memphis, Egiap, staying with Mrs. Eddensly, feels the need to return to Avoyelles Parish in Louisiana with stops in Vicksburg and Natchez. Back in Natchez, Stelcie has to "swallow the yellow dog" when paying taxes. Abdoulaye visits the Dundee homestead, tells of meeting beautiful Tajri during his crossing of the Sahara as a captive of slavers, and goes into Natchez with his pushcart. Xenophanes, back in New Orleans with a theatrical company, revisits THE MUSTARD SEED and the Girod Street Cemetery, the location of his epiphany. Egiap in Marksville, Louisiana, seeks assistance from a former Confederate soldier to guide her to two locations. Solomon, in New Orleans, attempts to meet Xenophanes.

Book Description
After a year of threats, polemic author Bryan is invited for dinner by a sympathetic fan to take part in an unusual debate with the company of two peculiar guests. As the night falls, the debate triggers a tenser atmosphere where senses are not longer a source to trust. The game is set and yet there is room for one more player. 'The 4th Guest' is a vivid journey that will take us into a new realm of ideas inspiring our thoughts and pushing us to think out of the box. The book is tantalizing, not to your eyes, not to your ears, but rather where it counts the most...your brain. Remember, as always in the end it is up to you what to believe in…

Book Description
The Red Thread is the true story of an expat woman’s struggle to complete her family while living in India. After shunning infertility treatment and adopting her first child, Sarah knows that family is created from love not DNA, so she sets out to replicate the fairy-tale experience of her daughter’s adoption from Cambodia. But things are not as straightforward this time. After choosing a baby to adopt, Sarah comes up against the risks of child trafficking and an imminent Cambodian law change that will shut down all adoptions and potentially subject her baby to life in an orphanage for the years to come. As Sarah battles government bureaucracy to free her child, the only thing that binds them together is the Buddhist red threads tied to both their wrists that symbolise courage and bravery. The Red Thread is an emotional journey of a mother’s battle to get to her child. It is a tale about one woman’s commitment and perseverance to overcome hurdles, and her blind hope to help a child. It is a story of love.
