During the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, seven-year-old Thomas Moran finds himself accidentally embarking on a career in pickpocketing. In the following years he becomes a master of his dubious craft and grows to manhood traveling from state to state across America. His picaresque journey takes him through Prohibition and the Depression; into the desperate highs of the Hootchy-Kootchy and the dying vineyards of California, accompanied by an array of richly drawn characters frantically clutching at the crumbling American dream. Italian and Chinese gangsters, con artists, corrupt clergy, and speakeasy bootleggers all have a part to play in Tommy's destiny, but it is Effie, the great love of his life, who offers him the chance to change his future, and tries to save him from himself. Colorfully written, engaging, and richly evocative of an extraordinary period in American history, The Sucker's Kiss marks the literary debut of master storyteller Alan Parker.

A collection of essays on nature, naturalists, and the natural history of fishes in central Appalachia. A nature lover’s paradise, central Appalachia supports a diversity of life in an extensive network of waterways and is home to a dazzling array of fish species. This book focuses not only on the fishes of central Appalachia but also on the fascinating things these fishes do in their natural habitats. An ecological dance unfolds from a species and population perspective, although the influence of the community and the ecosystem also figures in the text. Stuart A. Welsh’s essays link central Appalachian fishes with the complexities of competition and predation, species conservation, parasitic infections, climate change, public attitudes, reproductive and foraging ecology, unique morphology, habitat use, and nonnative species. The book addresses a selection of the families of central Appalachian fishes, including lampreys, gars, freshwater eels, pikes, minnows, suckers, catfishes, trouts, trout-perches, sculpins, sunfishes, and perches. These essays often refer to the works of naturalists who contributed to our knowledge of nature during previous centuries and who recorded their discoveries when science writing was less concise than it is today. Although many of these works are nearly forgotten, these early naturalists built a strong knowledge base that supports much of our current science and thus merits reexamination. Most people are not scientists, but many have an interest in nature and are, in their own way, naturalists. This book is for those people willing to peer beneath the water’s surface.

Michael lost the wife of his dreams and knows such a relationship can never possibly happen again. Or can it? Enter a father who sees beyond his daughter's anger and pain to her need, three little imps (Claire's two elementary-age boys and Michael's little son) determined to bring their reluctant parents together, and a Heavenly Father who really does know best. One by one the barriers between them crumble until only her secret keeps them apart. Will pride and unforgiveness keep two stubborn individuals apart or will they listen to their hearts and the nudging of God's Spirit?

The offbeat musicals Fame 1980), Pink Floyd--The Wall (1982), The Commitments 1991) and Evita (1996)... The stylized biopics Midnight Express (1978), Mississippi Burning (1988), The Road to Wellville (1994) and Angela's Ashes (1999)... The visceral social dramas Shoot the Moon (1982), Birdy (1984), Come See the Paradise (1990) and The Life of David Gale (2003)... The one-of-kind genre films Bugsy Malone (1979) and Angel Heart (1987)... These are the films of British director, writer, producer and cartoonist Sir Alan Parker. Among many awards and a knighthood, Parker is the founding director of the Director's Guild of Great Britain, and in 2013 won the honorary British Academy of Film and Television Arts Fellowship Award. Parker is known for his humility as a director and has never considered himself an auteur: "I have total admiration for film crews. They are the true heroes of the filmmaking process, not directors." He has worked alongside producer Alan Marshall, cinematographer Michael Seresin and the late film editor, Gerry Hambling. This book is the first study of his complete body of feature films (1976-2003).

Andre Hunter is a the guy that everyone wishes they can be in high school, and it is up to him to bring life to a local, low-budgeted haunted house, Shadows. When he calls upon his truest of friends from kindergarten, whom call themselves the Misfits, he needs their help to establish and prevent sabotage from their rival members of Castle Thirteen. After Andre witnesses the deaths of two friends, including Ange Kornele, he hopes for one thing, a parallel life to change it. Between his late grandfathers journal and a mysterious red book, Andre finds himself into another world he had never imagined. Where circumstances have changed and he finds himself in the shoes of the modern day Scrooge, where he had been shunned by the Misfits. He also discovers that Anges older sister, Justice, is experiencing the same transition. Furthermore, Ange is unmanageable and no longer the innocent girl he grown to love. In order to prevent certain events from occurring, Andre must convince the Misfits that he is not the person of hostility, and it will take more than one to stand united.
