Paperback. Condición: Good. Ten Tales for Troubled Times.Are we in control of our lives, or merely at the mercy of fate? In The Channel collection, Los Angeles becomes the tapestry against which ten stories unravel. They take place from the early 1950s to the not-too-distant future. Each of the protagonists experiences life altering dilemmas. Some are unprepared for their reversals. Others are not. How well they cope is for you to determine. Susan Alcott Jardine writes with intelligence and insight. She is a born storyteller whose narrative draws us to the dimly lit corners of imagination. -Gary Sturm, author of The Secrets of Time and Dreamers and Other Stories Jardine is a master of the unexpected. Her collection of stories (The Channel: Stories From L.A.) skillfully captures the unique social and psychological landscapes that define Hollywood. There is also just a hint of the mystical accompanying her profound emotional insight. Don't miss this one -Iris Mann, freelance journalist Riveting A must read page turner. She truly awakens our curiosity, what greater gift can we ever receive? I feel blessed and honored to endorse this project. -Margaret Mary Fitzgerald, teacher/channel/author of The Lost Gateways and Nine Portals to Inner Ascencion; A Workbook If the Beach Boys were still writing songs the way Susan Alcott Jardine writes stories, we would have a top-ten hit every time - and I'm not just whistling California Girls. Read Don't Go Into The Killing Place and you will experience her extraordinary depth as a storyteller.-Al Jardine, of The Beach Boys One of the marks of a fine writer is the ability to invoke a feeling within the reader. To be able to make one laugh aloud or draw tears from the well is remarkable magic. Such magic is pulled forth by Jardine's The Channel, which calls up forgotten and beloved memories of people from my past - and stirs a consciousness and appreciation for the NOW. -Pierre O'Rourke, host to authors & celebrities in Arizona.

Paperback. Condición: Fair. An extraordinary debut novel that challenges the definition of family and explores the intricate ties that bind us together Ida grew up with Jackson and James--where there was "I" there was a "J." She can't recall a time when she didn't have them around, whether in their early days camping out in the boys' room decorated with circus scenes or later drinking on rooftops as teenagers. While the world outside saw them as neighbors and friends, to each other the three formed a family unit--two brothers and a sister--not drawn from blood, but drawn from a deep need to fill a void in their single parent households. Theirs was a relationship of communication without speaking, of understanding without judgment, of intimacy without rules and limits. But as the three of them mature and emotions become more complex, Ida and Jackson find themselves more than just siblings. When Jackson's somnambulism produces violent outbursts and James is hospitalized, Ida is paralyzed by the events that threaten to shatter her family and put it beyond her reach. Kathleen Alcott's striking debut, The Dangers of Proximal Alphabets, is an emotional, deeply layered love story that explores the dynamics of family when it defies bloodlines and societal conventions.…

Poet Matt Miller in the foreword writes that Anderson's lines seem ""at times spun from a sugared lightning, at other times are as plain and enriched as Irish bog or New Hampshire granite, line and lyric come together to insist against a silence the world would have the poet embrace.…
