The Funeral Parlor Quilt

Ann Hazelwood

Sinopse

A wedding, burial traditions, and a missing quilt combine to keep the Colebridge Community locals on their toes in this crafty mystery. The third chapter in the life of Anne Brown and the Colebridge Community! In The Basement Quilt and The Potting Shed Quilt, the first and second novels by Ann Hazelwood, you became familiar with the family and friends of Anne Brown, the plucky florist whose life decisions remind us of our own. In the third book in the Colebridge Community series, even as Anne and her quilting friends welcome newcomers into their lives, they come across strange death practices and unusual (to them) uses for quilts. These events give them pause to consider life’s deeper meanings. But what do they signal for the future? The Funeral Parlor Quilt is not just the title of this sequel. As in the first two parts of the series, the quilt itself is a character. You’ll want to meet other quilt “characters” as Anne and her family and friends keep meeting life’s challenges. Praise for Ann Hazelwood and the Colebridge Community Series “I found myself immersed in the tale of this extended family and this wonderful quaint town . . . You will laugh, cry and share in their hopes and dreams.” —Community News “Ann Hazelwood knows a few things about the human spirit, family and dreaming big. Add a mixture of the love of quilting and all the things Missouri historic and otherwise; you will experience the words and passion of this unique and gifted author. Enjoy the experience!”—StreetScape Magazine

Losing June

Catherine Sanders Bodnar

Each carefully chosen detail teleports the reader to 1959 Harmony Falls Lodge, 10 cabins nestled against the reclusive Spirit Lake. Breathe in the music, scents, and setting of a secluded and once magical world as you join James at Mt. St Helens.“A novel that bridges categories, “Losing June” is both a meditation on nature and a page-turning thriller.The teenage boy at the tale’s center comes to see the frailties, the darkness and the shining points of his family and friends as he searches for his kidnapped sister under the shadow of Washington’s Mt. St Helen’s. In keeping with the thriller genre, Bodnar writes crisp no-nonsense prose which belies a penetrating analysis. Keep the lights on when you finish the book: Bodnar’s descriptive details reveal a mind intimately in touch with nature and its benign indifference."Tony Whedon, Drunk in the Woods"What first appeared to be a garden variety coming of age yarn took a "didn't-see-that-coming" turn, and I could not help but finish Losing June at one sitting. A true page-turner, Bodnar's prose struck deep chords of my youth, conjuring long-sunk bodies from the deep as well as forgotten joys and dreams known only to the young. Skillfully woven and textured, Losing June pierced layers of personal narrative, forcing me out of my comfort zone to a place of eventual acceptance, forgiveness. What more can one ask of a first novel? More of this please!"Josef Woodman, Patients Beyond Borders"Hanging on the edge of disaster a young hero discovers what his life’s journey is all about, with the aid of a pack of “Spirit Wolves” of course. The author’s fluid writing style finds its métier using the unbounded world of magical realism. Indeed, I found myself transported to a timeless world where wolves—the perennial shape-shifters of Native American lore—once again reign among the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest."- Chris Monaco, The Second Seminole War & the Limits of American Aggression

Marko Vignjević

Upon his first speech, so rousing as to attract the attention of the Progressive Party, Shezlez finds himself embroiled in a corrupt scheme of deceit and backstabbing in the leadup to the upcoming mayoral elections. A Machiavellian tale of political ambition, Shezlez the Self-Proclaimed examines the fickleness of loyalty, and interrogates the perennial question of whether the pursuit of power, no matter how idealistic its genesis, can ever remain a noble quest.
