Synopsis

In 'Martyr of the Catacombs', James De Mille weaves a gripping tale of persecution and faith set in the tumultuous times of ancient Rome. Written in a highly descriptive and engaging style, the novel immerses the reader in the underground world of the catacombs where Christians sought refuge from the brutalities of Emperor Nero's reign. De Mille's attention to historical detail and his ability to evoke a sense of danger and suspense make this work a standout in the genre of historical fiction. The themes of courage, sacrifice, and religious devotion are deftly explored throughout the narrative, adding depth and meaning to the story. De Mille's prose is both atmospheric and insightful, capturing the essence of the time period with skill and precision. 'Martyr of the Catacombs' is a must-read for those interested in historical fiction, religious persecution, and the enduring power of faith.

    Anna Katharine Green was one of the first female mystery writers to publish under her own name. She was never very successful as an author, but the technical excellence of her books caused several law schools to use The Leavenworth Case as a textbook in some of their classes, as an example of how misleading circumstantial evidence can be.

    In this fiercely authentic tale from the author of The Man Who Cried I Am, a gifted novelist confronts the powerfully entrenched, profit-motivated forces of corporate racism When his military service ends at the close of World War II—a period that will continue to haunt him throughout his life—Cato Douglass resolves to pursue a writing career and follows his dream to New York City.   Soon, his first novel is published, and it appears his dream has been fulfilled, enabling him to travel the world, fall in love, marry, and start a family. But despite possessing a talent that shines brighter than that of many of his literary contemporaries, Cato discovers that he is trapped within a racist system. Only a handful of black writers receive the support of white editors and critics, and because Cato’s work pushes the boundaries set by the publishing industry, he is doomed to a life of obscurity.   The Chicago Sun-Times proclaimed !Click Song “a major novel by one of America’s finest living writers.” Winner of the 1983 American Book Award, John A. Williams’s enthralling chronicle of a writer’s lifelong struggle to matter is a blistering tale of art, industry, family, and race.

    “Our Gen is warm and smart, accessible yet meaningful, a beach read with strong writing and emotional heft.”—BookPage 
    Residents of an active-living retirement community revert to lives of youthful indulgence, even as time-bomb secrets of their pasts tick toward explosion.  
    The Gen—short for Sexagenarian—is an upscale fifty-five-plus community located in the bucolic suburbs of Philadelphia. Main character Cynthia befriends the Gen’s two other Black residents, Bloc and Tish, as well as Lavia, who everyone assumes is from India. They regularly convene to smoke weed, line dance, and debate politics and philosophy as the wine goes down like silk. Their camaraderie is exhilarating.  
    But beneath the fun and froth, storms gather. With its walls of windows gushing light and air, the Gen becomes the catalyst for secrets to be exposed.  
    Shifting the narrative between the characters’ pasts and the present day, Diane McKinney-Whetstone deftly builds suspense as she captures with insight, poignancy, and humor, the scars, tenderness, and swagger of those not yet old, but no longer young, coming to the mean acceptance that life is finite after all, who knew.
