A Gilded-Age Story of Murder and the Race to Decode the Criminal Mind

Edward Rulloff was a brilliant yet utterly amoral murderer whose crimes spanned decades and whose victims were chosen out of revenge, out of envy, and sometimes out of necessity. He could talk his way out of any crime... until one day, Rulloff's luck ran out. By 1871 Rulloff sat chained in his cell - a psychopath holding court while curious 19th-century 'mindhunters' tried to understand what made him tick. From alienists (early psychiatrists who tried to analyse the source of his madness) to neurologists (who wanted to dissect his brain) to phrenologists (who analysed the bumps on his head to determine his character), each one thought he held the key to understanding the essential question: is evil born or made?

Your Race Is Your Destiny...

World War III wiped out 80% of the human population. The great nations have fallen. People have formed tribal nations based on race and ethnicity to survive. The biological weapons of the Old Order killed the people but left much of the infrastructure of that age intact. Now a new war between the Ristas and the Soona has raged for decades as the two peoples battle to control the resources of what used to be the American Southwest. John Wallace, the great commander of the Soona's best army division, is public enemy number one in the Rista Federation. Trapped behind enemy lines and severely injured, Wallace is taken in by Maria; a young Rista woman who lives alone on a mountaintop. Having evaded capture and recovering from his wounds, he begins to learn not all is as it seems. Now questioning everything they thought they knew about their two peoples, John and Maria must uncover the conspiracy that has shaped the world around them before it costs them their lives.

A Novel

From American Book Award-winning author Ana Castillo comes a suspenseful, moving novel about a sensuous, smart, and fiercely independent woman. Eking out a living as a teacher’s aide in a small New Mexican border town, Tía Regina is also raising her teenage nephew, Gabo, a hardworking boy who has entered the country illegally and aspires to the priesthood. When Gabo’s father, Rafa, disappears while crossing over from Mexico, Regina fears the worst. After several days of waiting and with an ominous phone call from a woman who may be connected to a smuggling ring, Regina and Gabo resolve to find Rafa. Help arrives in the form of Miguel, an amorous, recently divorced history teacher; Miguel’s gregarious abuelo Milton; a couple of Gabo’s gangbanger classmates; and a priest of wayward faith. Though their journey is rife with challenges and danger, it will serve as a remarkable testament to family bonds, cultural pride, and the human experience Praise for The Guardians NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE “An always skilled storyteller, [Castillo] grounds her writing in . . . humor, love, suspense and heartache–that draw the reader in.” –Chicago Sunday Sun-Times “A rollicking read, with jokes and suspense and joy rides and hearts breaking . . . This smart, passionate novel deserves a wide audience.” –Los Angeles Times “What drives the novel is its chorus of characters, all, in their own way, witnesses and guardian angels. In the end, Castillo’s unmistakable voice–earthy, impassioned, weaving a ‘hybrid vocabulary for a hybrid people’–is the book’s greatest revelation.” –Time Out New York “A wonderful novel . . . Castillo’s most important accomplishment in The Guardians is to give a unique literary voice to questions about what makes up a ‘family.’ ” –El Paso Times “A moving book that is both intimate and epic in its narrative.” –Oscar Hijuelos, author of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love

"BEST SOUTHERN FICTION" Winner


If you loved Designing Women, Steel Magnolias, and fiction with all the feels, including so many laugh-out-loud moments, this is the novel that will warm your heart and have you laughing until tears fall. A book-club must-read.

I love Susan Reinhardt's humor and hilarious characters --Sara Gruen, New York Times bestselling author of Water for Elephants and Ape House.

Don't miss this mega-funny look at Southern living.

There are a number of laugh-out-loud scenes, from the 104-year-old woman who won't let her driver's license expire without a fight, to the crazy aunt who crashes funerals of strangers just to get a good spread of Southern cooking. This ultimately is a tale of forgiveness and survival in the Deep South. Highly recommended!
Most people think the reason Prudy "Dee" Millings married the best-looking man in the Carolinas who turned out to be a complete psycho and near-murderer is because she was raised all wrong.
That's nothing but horse manure.
In this
Amazon Bestseller and University of Georgia Book Club pic,
Dee is a plucky heroine to root for as she sets out on a path winding with loveable kooks, the kind we all know and love in great southern fiction.
With her ex behind bars mailing threatening letters, Dee's adventure begins when she and her two young kids settle in her old hometown, Spartanburg, South Carolina.
There, her over-the-top mama is determined to exert her opinions and Proverbs, most of which center around Dee's choices in everything from chastity to men to apartment decor.
Dee finds new purpose for herself and her children, discovering joy in places she never expected it: in a nursing home where she tends to the likes of 104-year-old Annie Sue who still drives and has a hankering for cold draft beer.
As Dee begins a journey toward recovery and becoming a registered nurse, an old flame appears, a dark secret resurfaces, and if handled right, could be her ticket to allowing herself to love again.
