Lina O'Kelly, psychic and interstellar transporter, has been accused of mind-controlling her new husband, Valiant. With the galaxy's most powerful superhero under her command, she could conquer worlds. But she's innocent. How can she make her accusers—and especially her arresting officer, Jae Rallene—believe her? He is the last of his kind, supremely powerful in his own right, and best friends with Lina's groom. Lina is new to her powers, new to being off-Earth, new even to being able to touch and love another person. Now she has to figure a way out of this mess without bringing dishonor to Valiant. Superhero romance and adventure Jae must stop himself from growing closer to the intriguing woman his commanding officer has named a suspect. To do so defies his duty as a Mega-Legionnaire and as a friend. But when a web of interstellar crises begins to tighten around the two, will he be able to keep a safe distance from her?

Just weeks before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, 21-year-old Jordan Young arrived in Brazil with $35 in his pocket and dreams of adventure.

In the process he met the Brazilian beauty whom he married many years later. His memoir tells the story of the Brazil of the 1940s that no longer exists and the making of a Brazilianist. Jordan M. Young is professor emeritus of history at Pace University in New York, NY. He is the author of several books about Brazil and an early proponent of the study of Brazilian culture in the United States.

Eleanor & Park meets Perks of Being a Wallflower in this bittersweet 1980’s story about love, loss, and a comet that only comes around every ninety-seven years. When Carrie looks through her telescope, the world makes sense. It’s life here on Earth that’s hard to decipher. Since her older sister, Ginny, died, Carrie has been floating in the orbit of Ginny’s friends, the cool kids, who are far more interested in bands and partying than science. Carrie’s reckless behavior crosses a line, and her father enrolls her in a summer work camp at a local state park. There, Carrie pulls weeds and endures pep talks about the power of hard work. Despite her best efforts to hate the job, Carrie actually feels happy out in nature. And when she meets Dean—warm, thoughtful, and perceptive—she starts to discover that her life can be like her beloved night sky, with black holes of grief for Ginny and dazzling meteors of joy from first love.

In a world where the night sky holds more than just its twinkling beauty, "The Language of Stars" weaves a captivating tale of destiny, love, and the power of belief. Here, the alignment of stars is not a mere spectacle but a profound force that determines the course of one's life. In this extraordinary realm, an astronomy enthusiast and a skeptical astrologer find themselves entangled in a web of fate, drawn together by a connection they cannot explain. Meet our protagonist, an ardent lover of celestial wonders, who spends nights gazing at the stars and decoding their secrets. This astronomy enthusiast cherishes the knowledge of the universe and revels in the scientific precision it offers, finding solace in the laws that govern the cosmos. On the other side of the celestial spectrum stands the skeptical astrologer, a person who scoffs at the idea of destiny being dictated by the positioning of the stars. This individual relies on reason, dismissing the notion that the universe can dictate human connections and affection. Despite their opposing beliefs, a chance encounter brings these two souls together, and as if guided by some cosmic force, they feel an unexplainable pull toward each other. As they embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind the stars and the ancient belief of soulmates, they are thrust into a world of enchantment and mystery.

As they push forward, they must confront their own doubts, face adversaries, and challenge the very foundations of the belief system that has shaped their society for generations. In this extraordinary journey of self-discovery, friendship, and love, our protagonists will unlock the secrets of an ancient prophecy and rewrite the very fabric of their destinies. As they dare to question the stars themselves, they discover a love that transcends the limits of the heavens, proving that sometimes, the true language of stars is written not in their positions but in the beating of two hearts drawn together by an inexplicable cosmic force.

“This book, the first scholarly consideration of Weill’s complete output of stage works, is without doubt the most important critical study of the composer’s oeuvre to date in any language. Hinton’s scholarship is superior and his insights original and illuminating. The product of several decades of engagement with Weill’s works, their sources and reception, as well as the secondary literature, the book is a stunning achievement. Brilliantly conceived and executed, it will take its place as one of the cornerstones of Weill studies.”—Kim H. Kowalke, University of Rochester and President, Kurt Weill Foundation for Music “In Weill’s Musical Theater: Stages of Reform, Stephen Hinton reminds us that Kurt Weill was always a revolutionary. The composer’s insistent dedication to a provocative, constantly evolving lyric theater that spoke directly to audiences meant that Weill remained as controversial as he was popular. The celebrity that endeared him to Broadway made him anathema in Berlin. Some sixty years after Weill’s death, Hinton is finally able to demonstrate the consistent brilliance, theatrical power, and coherence of a composer who revolutionized every genre he touched (or used) and whose collaborators read as a who’s who of twentieth-century theater.” —David Savran, author of Highbrow/Lowdown: Theater, Jazz, and the Making of the New Middle Class "Stephen Hinton presents us with an image of Weill that is at once monumental yet still alive. A truly Protean figure, Weill is not an easy man to grasp in his totality; Brecht once wrote that a man thrown into water will have to develop webbed feet, and as a refugee from Nazi Germany, Weill had to become a cultural amphibian. But in Weill's Musical Theater we see the composer from every angle: through the gaze of countless critics and reviewers, through Weill's own eyes, and finally through the filter of Hinton's judicious, focused prose. This account will stand."—Daniel Albright, author of Untwisting the Serpent: Modernism in Music, Literature, and Other Arts
