Book excerpt: RAIN & RUIN Book 2 Theresa Shaver, bestselling Amazon author of the Stranded Series brings you the second book in the Endless Winter Series set in a wrecked world. A hailstorm of bombs has blasted the world into a nuclear winter. The survivors have now spent seven long years in the snow and ash scratching out a lonely, hard existence. Although comfortable in her safe and supplied bunker, Skylar Ross longed for more of a life than what she has. She thought she found it when she rescued Rex but the evil that followed him inside her home threatened the one person she holds most dear. Can she put aside her mistrust of others and give him and his people a second chance? Rex Larson fell hard for Skylar and was excited about his group joining her in the safety of her bunker until he was betrayed by one of his own. Exiled back out into the cold, he prays that Skylar will change her mind. Forced to flee the town when a deadly gang moves in, the survivors huddle in the cold hoping the gang won't find them and for Skylar to change her mind. When the weather turns for the first time in seven years, they don't know if it means the earth is starting to heal or if it's just more ruin. Find out in Book 2 RAIN & RUIN

Book excerpt: Hiroshima is the story of six people—a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest—who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. In vivid and indelible prose, Pulitzer Prize–winner John Hersey traces the stories of these half-dozen individuals from 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city, through the hours and days that followed. Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book, Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told, and his account of what he discovered is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ash Garden: Hiroshima "Under a Rain of Ruin," engages with the broadly accepted logic that the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved lives by ending the war. My work interrogates this narrative through an examination of photographs, monuments, and sites encountered in Hiroshima in spring 2013. The Ash Garden opens with excerpts from declassified US military documents, followed by my photographs arranged in three chapters (A Noiseless Flash, Details Are Being Investigated, and Aftermath) whose titles reference John Hershey's 1946 Hiroshima essay. Each chapter begins at the hypocenter and represents the same 27 sites in Hiroshima, ordered according to their relative distance from ground zero. Referencing different historical moments, my project echoes the impulse to survey the A-bombed city in 1945, undertaken first by Japanese photographers and then by the US military. Beginning in the occupation period, Hiroshima rebuilt and established itself as a "City of Peace." In the decades since, Japanese survivor, civic, and corporate organizations have worked with government and city administrators to memorialize local histories. Placing the images shot in 1945 on monuments throughout the city, common formats were established for memorializing communities, events, and sites. My recent visitation of Hiroshima marks yet another shift in time and distance to the traumatic histories articulated in the memorials. Despite the impossibility of representing the atomic horrors, my work reveals evidence of the massive loss of civilian lives in the bombings. Foregrounding both the documentation of the disaster and the sites in present time, The Ash Garden aims to address the invisibility of atomic bomb histories in the North American context. It also acts as a counter narrative to the Enola Gay, prominently displayed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.

Book excerpt: Rain of the Ghosts is the first in Greg Weisman's series about an adventurous young girl, Rain Cacique, who discovers she has a mystery to solve, a mission to complete and, oh, yes, the ability to see ghosts. Welcome to the Prospero Keys (or as the locals call them: the Ghost Keys), a beautiful chain of tropical islands on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle. Rain Cacique is water-skiing with her two best friends Charlie and Miranda when Rain sees her father waiting for her at the dock. Sebastian Bohique, her maternal grandfather, has passed away. He was the only person who ever made Rain feel special. The only one who believed she could do something important with her life. The only thing she has left to remember him by is the armband he used to wear: two gold snakes intertwined, clasping each other's tails in their mouths. Only the armband . . . and the gift it brings: Rain can see dead people. Starting with the Dark Man: a ghost determined to reveal the Ghost Keys' hidden world of mystery and mysticism, intrigue and adventure.
