UPCOMING TITLES
The Exploits of Zénobe Bosquet, a Virtuous Young Atheist, and of Monsieur Wagnière, His Fellow Librarian (Coming August, 2017)
The second volume of Roy Luna’s trilogy about the Eighteenth century, A Revolutionary Education, in which Zénobe Bosquet, an acolyte of Voltaire and a fervent believer in the forces of Reason and Enlightenment, accompanies the late philosopher’s library to Russia, a long and dangerous voyage that takes him through new lands and new adventures. He meets lawless highwaymen, sailors on storm-tossed seas, ladies—and gentlemen—in-waiting at the sumptuous courts of Frederick the Great and Catherine the Great, seeing for himself the panorama of the human condition laid out in all its glory and shame, its order and its chaos.

The Madwoman: The Madwoman of Chaillot has a new avatar: she is the Madwoman of South Beach, and she patrols her territory with the same energetic and determined passion as her predecessor. Iris Cornelia Starkaugen is a homeless woman who wanders the streets of South Beach, saying nothing to passersby…
Acronyms–oh, boy!–acronyms! They might be useful. We save time, ink, eyesight, and money by simply writing “UNESCO,” as opposed to “The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.” It’s also a boon for laziness, for we no longer have to say “the president of the United States.” Now we can…
A new collection of poetry by C.M. Clark explores the timelessness of the ancient Spice Trails interconnected with the modern world. Here is proof that the past is truly not past for it clings to us like new skin and lives its indelible life inside our heads, as anachronistic anthropological…
