The Cracker Queen
Hometown girl makes
good!
Southern laughs galore
In THE CRACKER
QUEEN, Lauretta Hannon tells stories with sass, wit and a bit of southern
charm. Her entertaining stories of Crazy Aunt Carrie, The Goat Man, her own
Mama smuggling cigarettes to chain gangs, and the more unsavory part of
Savannah will make you laugh, make you cry and make you toast Lauretta with a
Pabst Blue Ribbon. Based on her NPR Commentaries for All Things Considered and
her one-woman show, THE CRACKER QUEEN proves that not all southern families are
created equal, but they do all know a thing or two about surviving hard times.

Don't Know Where, Don't Know When (The Snipesville
Chronicles Book 1)
A Different Day, A Different Destiny (The
Snipesville Chronicles Book 2)
BOOK 1:
What a nightmare.
Hannah Dias,
California Girl with Attitude, and Alex, her laid-back brother, have moved from
exciting San Francisco to boring Snipesville. Life doesn't improve when they
meet Brandon, a dorky kid who is plotting his escape from the Deep South, and
the weird Professor.
Suddenly, the kids are catapulted to World War Two England. They fall into a
world of dragon ladies, bomb blasts, ugly underwear, stinky sandwiches, painful
punishments, and non-absorbing toilet paper.
They learn so much more than they could ever learn in a history class. Not that
they want to learn it.
But they can't go home until they find George Braithwaite... whoever he is, and
whatever he has to do with Snipesville.
BOOK 2:
When you wake up in
the year 1851 on a Scottish hillside…or down an English coal mine…or in a field
on a Southern plantation, you know you're in for a lousy day.
No day has been normal for Hannah and Alex Dias since they moved from San
Francisco to the little town of Snipesville, Georgia. Bad enough that
they and their dorky new friend Brandon Clark became reluctant time-travelers
to World War Two England. Now things are about to get worse. Much worse.
From the cotton fields of the slave South, to the poorest slums of Victorian
Scotland, to London’s glittering Crystal Palace, the kids chase a twenty-first
century gadget through the mid-nineteenth century. But finding it is only the
beginning of what they must do to save two beloved places from destruction, and
heal a wound in Time.

Cookbooks
Taste Buds
Taste Buds, written by local Chef Rian
MacDonald , leads you through the world of culinary arts as if you were in a
private cooking class, learning terminology, techniques, and the use of
ingredients easily found in your local grocery store. Chef Macdonald helps
aspiring culinarians start with easy dishes, including the requisites of the
recipes, like knife skills, and takes them right up to the classical French
delights. Chef Macdonald insists the recipes presented in the book should be
seen as guide lines upon which to "throw your own spin". The over
arching message is to have fun with cooking while improving your palate, and
sharing your cooking with friends and family.

Nappy Sunrae Crown
The character in
the book is about an eight year old African American girl. It appears that her
natural coarse hair is unacceptable. After reading books on African American
Heritage at the library, she gets a better understanding of the texture of
her hair. She comes to accept herself and her hair. Upon revelation, Sunrae
says “Know matter what everyone else does, the sun wins, when my hair snaps,
crackles and pops into nappy curls again.”
This book can be
enjoyed by all ages. But if you really need a specific age, well, 5-12 year
olds will like it.
MONA L. SCOTT is
the author of Nappy Sunrae Crown, a wonderful book about an African
American 8 year old who found learning about her heritage helped her with her
self esteem. Read more about it at:

I believe that Christians,
as well as non-Christians, will read this book. Some will read to learn more of
God’s Word and some will read out of curiosity. Before they know it, they will
be hooked on Jesus.
Mary Otis is a
Christian woman whose goal is to encourage everyone to learn God’s Word. She is
convinced that God wants us to live by faith and not by fear. God has given us
free will and He will intervene in our lives if we ask. We need God to hear our
requests, so we must follow His instructions. God gave us His Word, Jesus, for
our benefit. With the help of the Holy Spirit, she has come up with a system to
make learning a little easier. To God be all the glory!

Living by the Boomerang
When things suck,
you’re not stuck!
There is no doubt
that what we do in this world comes back to us like a boomerang. And at times
the result hurts.
To ease our pain
and disappointment, we turn to a common universal principle and simply accept
the outcome as “the way it’s meant to be.” Some might call it “fate.” Some might
call it “karma.”
Just because it’s a
universal principal doesn’t mean it’s a universal limitation. Nowhere is it
written that the result you got is final. No law, whether spiritual or
temporal, prohibits us from seeking a new avenue. So Living by the Boomerang
picks up where this universal principle leaves off because the only way “it’s
meant to be” is the way you decide to leave it.
Start Living by the
Boomerang today to get the results you want and the success you deserve.

The Servants of Pilate
Is the world a
static place? Is there not sometimes a hidden hand? Is to do anything
preferable to doing nothing?
What would you do
to change the world?
What would you give
up to change the world?
Would you worry
only about what you might lose rather than what you might gain?
Do material
possessions liberate you or obligate you to their defense?
Is God hidden by modern
religion rather than proclaimed?
Pontius Pilate
ordered the crucifixion of Christ but he never lifted a hammer or a nail; the
task was left to those who simply followed orders. Those who did without
questioning why? Those so concerned with protecting their positions and their
bobbles, their vain status that they would perpetuate evil without a second
thought.
No different today,
from the gas fires of Auschwitz to the deserts of Darfur to the criminality and
storm of lies and propaganda that overwhelms the American populace. “Well, I
would but I’m really busy,” or “That’s just a shame but what can I do?”
You can get in
line!
The Servants of
Pilate is the first novel from David Glen Cox, the award winning author and
essayist. The story of a homeless man with nothing to lose who seeks an
audience with the President of the United States of America.

Autobiography of a Georgia Cat
Autobiography of a
Georgia Cat is the story of a Southern African-American family as it struggles
with the illness and death of a granddaughter who is married to a Jewish man.
Spirituality and family themes are emphasized. The story is narrated by Black
Jack, the remarkable family cat, who also tells of his own life as an
indoor-outdoor cat in Marietta, Georgia. Much space is devoted to “feline”
mythology and spirituality which have a distinctly Native-American flavor. The
strands of many cultures are woven into the fabric of this story, leaving the
reader with a positive message of hope and of the oneness of all things.
Animal lovers will
never look at their pets the same again after meeting Black Jack, a deeply
spiritual cat with a wry sense of humor. He agonizes through the alcoholism of
his guardian, Archie, and the increasing decrepitude of Archie’s wife, Cora,
and her centenarian mother. The constant outpouring of gospel music from Mama’s
radio adds to the spiritual power of this charming and touching story. Whether
from his commentary on dogs, fur balls, human nature, or whatever he has on his
mind as he tells his tale, the reader will know that he has had an encounter
with a wise, wonderful, and unforgettable feline.
