Looking for your latest literary adventure? Pick up one of these reads by a Southern Arizona author.
Special to the Arizona Daily Star “The Academic Civil War: The Impact of College Professors in the Decisive Moments of Battle” by William S. Messina. Published by the author. 339 pages. $20.99, available at Mostly Books in Tucson.
Be prepared for stylistic eccentricities: the curiously liberal use of exclamation points — possibly symptomatic of the author’s unalloyed enthusiasm for his subject — may lead to some head-scratching. Regardless, Messina drives home his deeply-researched point with an obvious relish that will not be lost on history fans and Civil War buffs.“The Day Broccoli Left the Farm” by Sherrel Campbell. Illustrated by Atika Rahmi. Published by the author. 51 pages. $24.99; paperback $19.99; Kindle $7.99.
Dawson’s unlikely partner in his quest is Rose, his dead girlfriend’s identical twin, and their bond is at the heart of the narrative: they have no choice but to rely on each other despite their mutual distrust. Ring’s flair for fully-realized characters and smart dialog is on display here; combined with fast-paced action, this is propulsive storytelling that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Hot on the heels of “The Neotonic Queen,” Canelos published the 24-tale collection “Hunters and Thieves and Other Stories.” Promoted as “panning an array of genres: thriller, drama, mystery, fantasy, romance, dark comedy and horror,” it features mostly humanoid characters often behaving weirdly. And, yes, already in the hopper is his next publication is “Ten-Minute Dramas for the Stage.” This writer’s on a roll.
