Fiddling at Midnight's Farmhouse

New! From AAG Author/Poet Clyde Kessler

Picture
Available in Paperback here!
​
Virginia's Blue Ridge Highlands, with Jack's Creek Bridge over the Smith River and Rock Castle Creek in Patrick County, set the stage for Clyde Kessler’s fictional community of “Hackle Creek” in his book of poetry, Fiddling at Midnight's Farmhouse (Cedar Creek Publishing, 2017). Patterned a bit like Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology, Clyde's characters---mostly fiddlers, waifs, workers, and lost souls--emerge through poetic yarns, tall tales, ghost stories, retellings of family secrets, and even a few riddles of several families introduced in his earlier poetry collection, Dancing at Big Vein (Pocahontas Press, 1987). Both of Clyde's books feature illustrations by his artist/wife, Kendall Kessler.

Shoes in the River

  New! From AAG Author Madelyn Rohrer

Picture
Available in eBook and Paperback here!
​
"Shoes in the River" is a story inspired by an ages-old Chinese custom of throwing one's shoes in the river after a heavy emotional burden has been lifted - a burden from the past, or perhaps one being carried at the present time - an obstacle to enjoyment of life and looking forward to the future. The ceremonial discarding of the shoes worn while carrying the burden was followed by stepping into new shoes and the anticipation of walking into a happier life. 

Step into the lives of Cheng and Su-Li Ming, a fictional but historically viable couple in rural China. Share their young plans, shattered dreams, and the cold realities of adjusting to changing governments and policies...things over which they had no control. China's one-child-per-family edict of 1980, a desperate measure intended to stem and ultimately reverse its problem of overpopulation, had a devastating effect on China and its families. “Shoes in the River” brings you into the unsettling emotions of that tumultuous thirty-two-year period in China's history.

In-Between Murders: Stories that LINK and ILLUMINATE the Novels of the Julia Nye Mystery Series

10/29/2017

0 Comments

 

 New! From AAG Author  Jo Allison

Picture
The adventures of Julia Nye, Carl Schroeder, and William McConnell are the stuff of the Julia Nye Mystery Series, books of detection and suspense set in 1910s St. Louis. This collection of writings fills in between the novels of the series.

An award-winning short story and a thoughtful vignette offer background on Julia Nye’s unusual upbringing. A shorter vignette uses the famous prize fight of July 4, 1910, to illuminate William McConnell’s resolve. A final vignette presages the spin-off of a new series, involving Carl Schroeder in World War I.

Spoiler Alert: Other than the stories about Julia’s past, the stories and vignettes foretell details of various books in the series.

An unusual extra reveals a writer’s tool. Author Jo Allison “interviews” a character first introduced in the first novel in the series for a possible role in the fifth novel.

TALES FROM THE SUNSET PUB
Available in eBook and Paperback  - Order your copy here!

When an eccentric collection of friends and neighbors come together because of their love of good conversation, adventure and cold beer you get this odd and varied collection of exploits called Tales From the Sunset Pub. This collection of short stories covers multiple genres as it takes you on a wild ride following the usual suspects that call the Sunset Pub their second home. Along the way sweet liberty is rediscovered, the secrets of the universe are revealed, love has been won and lost, and souls saved! Well, that might be a stretch but it depends on who you ask. Tag along in this adventure that takes you from the dirty jokes from bartenders, to the savage world of war in Vietnam, to the heat and debauchery of Las Vegas. These fun loving characters will put a smile on your face. Tales From the Sunset Pub is the place where Cheers meets The Hangover, with one wild tale after another.
