Ongoing preservation projects ensure that future generations can explore and appreciate one of the most well-preserved rice plantations in America. Plantation historian Christopher C. Boyle captures the spirit of Mansfield Plantation and unravels the many mysteries of its past.

"Fascinating...fun to read and will be the standard text of the defining era of gay literati." - Philadelphia InquirerIn the years following World War II a group of gay writers established themselves as major cultural figures in American life. Truman Capote, the enfant terrible, whose finely wrought fiction and nonfiction captured the nation's imagination. Gore Vidal, the wry, withering chronicler of politics, sex, and history. Tennessee Williams, whose powerful plays rocketed him to the top of the American theater. James Baldwin, the harrowingly perceptive novelist and social critic. Christopher Isherwood, the English novelist who became a thoroughly American novelist. And the exuberant Allen Ginsberg, whose poetry defied censorship and exploded minds. Together, their writing introduced America to gay experience and sensibility, and changed our literary culture. But the change was only beginning. A new generation of gay writers followed, taking more risks and writing about their sexuality more openly. Edward Albee brought his prickly iconoclasm to the American theater. Edmund White laid bare his own life in stylized, autobiographical works. Armistead Maupin wove a rich tapestry of the counterculture, queer and straight. Mart Crowley brought gay men's lives out of the closet and onto the stage. And Tony Kushner took them beyond the stage, to the center of American ideas. With authority and humor, Christopher Bram weaves these men's ambitions, affairs, feuds, loves, and appetites into a single sweeping narrative. Chronicling over fifty years of momentous change-from civil rights to Stonewall to AIDS and beyond-EMINENT OUTLAWS is an inspiring, illuminating tale: one that reveals how the lives of these men are crucial to understanding the social and cultural history of the American twentieth century.

The Cousins and Pets take a break at the beach, but, of course, a distant ancient supernova foils their fun. So they must crack a cryptic clue to cure a mad mob of mutant man-crabs – before Hurricane Anus hits -- and THEN escape the robot SHARKs in Area 51. Yep, it's just another Gooneybird week at the beach. -------The Cousin Chronicles is a series of books I am writing for my nine grandchildren, featuring them as characters they suggest for themselves. Each Christmas, they receive a new book as their gift from me. Their adventures vary from time travel to basketball, from escaping vampires to defeating a mythological army of paper elves, from an odyssey through Dreamland to dealing, this year, with interstellar crustaceans.Along the way, I try to gently introduce young readers to things of interest. Greek and Norse mythology. Classical literature. Science. And cultural references from Grandpa's time, way back in the 20th Century. I dare not call the Cousin Chronicles educational, but I would be pleased if, when they learn in science class heavy metals are created in supernovas, for example, they remember they read it in the Cousin Chronicles first.The stories are essentially cartoons in text. The pre-teen to young adult reading level is intended to amuse adults who are reading aloud to young children. The Cousin Chronicles are written for all age groups who enjoy light-hearted reading.Great with waffles. (Elephants find the word "waffles" hilarious. Book 1, page 88.)Chris BotkinDecember 2019

"The Curious Incident of the Gooneybird" is a children's fantasy adventure, written as a Christmas present for and about nine cousins (my grandchildren), ages four months through 12 years.Through the cleverness of their pets, nine cousins discover and lay claim to the Gooneybird, a wonderful ship that can fly through the air, and is rumored to have been built by magic dwarfs for the Norse gods in the Time of Legends. The cousins catch wind of a plot to steal the Gooneybird, and proceed to consult the wisest animals and people in the world for their advice.The thief strikes at the worst possible moment, and a dangerous situation is averted by the cousins through humor and time travel.It is child-friendly, but does contain cultural references and oddball humor that will hopefully entertain parents who are reading it to their children. I make no claims that the book is educational, as I am not a child psychologist or any kind of expert in nurturing young impressionable minds. I just hope kids find the story fun.Chris Botkin
