Book excerpt: Utahisms: Unique Expressions, Inventions, Place Names and more ranges from the characteristic to the bizarre The Beehive State's iconic vistas are singular and distinctive. So too are its colloquialisms, peculiar place names and landmark firsts. Confusion from local dialect ultimately thwarted a would be robber in Salt Lake City. The proper pronunciation of Tooele might surprise visitors, while residents still debate its origins. And, phrases once thought to be solely Utahn often prove otherwise. The world's first department store was born out of xenophobia and religious persecution in 1869. Martha Hughes Cannon followed through on Brigham Young's encouraging women to become physicians. She later became the first female state senator in the United States, defeating her own husband. Examining everything from phonetics to history, BYU Linguistics Professor David Eddington reveals the roots of what is truly, uniquely Utah.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives on Latter-day Saint Names and Naming approaches cultural, historical, and doctrinal dimensions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through a fresh lens that explores how these dimensions intersect with names and naming. Featuring a collection of chapters from multiple authors, its bipartite structure examines fascinating topics in relation to the Church, looking first at cultural and historical perspectives before analyzing doctrinal and scriptural perspectives. The book discusses such matters as how contemporary naming practices of Latter-day Saints compare to those outside the faith, how code names were used in one of the faith’s books of scripture to protect Church leaders from persecution, and how names and naming relate to the covenant identity of Church members. Through its fresh approach to understanding religious identity and belief in relation to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Mormon studies and will also be of interest to people with a fascination with names and naming issues as those occur in a variety of settings, including religious ones.

Can she catch the real killer before she’s planted in jail? Quincy McKay is ready for a fresh start. Finally free of her good-for-nothing ex, she can’t wait to grow her aunt’s struggling small-town floral boutique. But her hopes wither and die when her biggest competitor is found dead and she’s accused of murder. Teaming up with her blunt-speaking elderly friend, and a dreamy cop, Quincy desperately digs for clues to prove she didn’t do it. But her mother’s gossip network and the return of her crazy ex threaten to blight her investigation. Can Quincy unearth the culprit, or will she be buried along with her business? The Final Arrangement is the first book in the charming Flower Shop cozy mystery series. If you like quirky characters, bizarre cases, and a light sprinkling of romance, then you’ll love Annie Adams’ freshly picked tale. Deadly Arrangements Wedding bells are ringing and the groom has gone missing in small town Hillside. Florist Quincy McKay was all set for wedding season, until the groom from one wedding disappeared and the groom from another became the prime suspect. Hard for a florist to make a living on weddings without the grooms, and even harder for her to stay out of the investigation, when the suspected culprit is the fiancé of her truth-telling older friend and sidekick, K.C. All Quincy wants is success in business, a happy family and the perfect romance with Alex Cooper, the hottest cop in the state. Not necessarily in that order, of course. The trouble is, between Alex’s job and everyone else’s weddings, it’s getting harder and harder for Quincy and Alex to find any time to themselves. Every time the flames of passion ignite between them, someone or something shows up to fizzle the fire, including her meddling mother, her formerly absent father and even Elma, the handsiest waitress in the West. Just when Quincy thinks nothing else could go wrong, a ghost from Alex’s past comes back to haunt them both, which could keep them apart forever if someone doesn’t kill Quincy first. She stumbles into the clues to solve the case of the missing groom and finds a corpse as well, with the real culprit right on her sensible but stylishly clad heels, proving that planning a wedding can literally be murder. Deadly Arrangements is the second book in the charming Flower Shop cozy mystery series. If you like quirky characters, bizarre cases, and a little romance, too, then you’ll love Annie Adams’ funny, feisty mystery. A Christmas Arrangement It's Christmastime in Hillside, but holiday spirit is in short supply for busy flower shop owner Quincy McKay. She's in charge of the town festival and her shop's open house, but her Santa's a no-show and her flower cooler is on the fritz. To make matters worse, she's learned her ex-husband isn't as ex as she'd thought. Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, her boyfriend, hot cop Alex Cooper announces his parents are coming to town. Alex is the perfect man in Quincy's book, unfortunately his mother thinks he's perfect too. And no woman is perfect enough for her perfect son, especially not the weird flower shop girl who works too much, can't cook and who she catches kissing another man in the department store. And what's this she heard about Quincy being married? Eleanor Cooper must help her son dodge a bullet (and not the kind from his job) during the romantic holiday season to prevent him from being ensnared in a regrettable relationship. Quincy's dignity (of which lately she's in short supply), her reputation, and every business in town are riding upon the success of the city's Christmas celebration. If she can figure out a way to make it work despite failing equipment, helpers as flaky as the falling snow, and a troubling and inappropriate Secret Santa, she might win the respect of everyone in the town, but more importantly, Alex's parents. If Alex can survive his loving but meddling mother until Christmas, and keep Quincy safe from her crazy ex-husband, with a little help from the MLM (Mormon Ladies Mafia), and K.C. the she-Santa, he'll arrange for the perfect holiday for himself and the woman who has captured his heart Buy The Arrangements to weed out a small-town murderer today!
